UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
UMBRELLA.
By Howard r. CARTS.

ooh, Uncle Wiggily! You're go
ing to have bad luck! oh, such
bad luck as you're going to have"
cried Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy one
morning, as she saw the bunny
rabbit gentleman getting ready to
| hop away from his hollow stump
| bungalow
bad luck? Why do you say
that?" Mr.. Longears asked. ~

slide down the banisters back

teen to dinner for ever so long,
Nurse Jane"
Il know all that" said the
her tail in bow knot before she
started to dust the beds. But all
! the same Uncle Wiggily you're go
| ing to have bad luck!"
WHY" asked the bunny.
because you opened your UNI
brella here in the house and raised
it over your head" said Miss Fuzzy
Wuzzy. And everybody knows
that to open an umbrella over your
| head in a house or hollow
stump bungalow brings bad luck"
Dear men said Uncle Wiggily.
II do remember that old saying.
And | certainly did open my UNI
brella. But | did that to see if
there were any holes in it, Nurse
Jane"
THAT doesn't make a bit of diff
ference, Uncle Wiggily," spoke the
muskrat lady. you'll have bad
luck all the same!"
"Well, it can't be helped then
sighed the bunny rabbit gentle
man. what can't be cured must
be endured. Eeny-meeny mimic
mo! over the fence is out boys;
one two, three and away we go!
| Therel I've said all the good luck
charms | can think Of. and per-
haps they'll keep away the bad
luck" went on Uncle Wiggily.
I'm afraid not" said Nurse
Jane, as Mr.. Longears hoped
away to find an adventure. He
did that nearly every day, you
know, and this time, as it looked
like snow, he had taken his UNI
brella with him. And, as Nurse
Jane had seen, the bunny raised
the umbrella over his head while
still in his hollow stump bunga-
! low.
II wonder what sort of luck I'll
have 2" thought Uncle Wiggily, as
he hoped on and on, over the
fields and through the woods.
Whatever happens, l hope I'll
| have an adventure"
But as he went on and on, and
saw no adventures the bunny
gentleman began to feel sad. He
looked under the bushes and be-
hind the trees, and he was just
going to look up in the air, think
ing he might see an adventure
over his head, when. all of sud-
den, out from under big stone
popped the black. bushy bear.
"Wuff! Wuff! Nuff, growled
the bad black bear, wrinkling up
his nose in a funny way. "I'Ye

Mr.. Bear?" he asked, coming
close to the bad, growlery chap,
Eyes! Yes! Go on! I'm watch
ing! Show me how you got bad
luck, Uncle Wiggily."
"Well, l raised my umbrella
this way" went on Mr.. Longears,
"and then, all of a quickness, |
brought it down-this wayn'
And with that Uncle Wiggily
banged and whacked and pound
ed his hard umbrella handle down
on the end of the bears soft and
tender nose.
Bang Whack! Crack" the UNI
brella handle bounced and bump
ed on the bears nose.
ooh stop! Quit! Please don't hit
me any more, my nose is too sore!'
howled the bear, and away he
ran, taking his short, little stub
by tail with him.

he twinkled his pink nose. Rails

AS the People Wen 1t

Regarding "The Land Seamen.'
Albuquerque, N. NJ.
Jan. II, 1921.
Dear Editor:
! Your article of January 10, en-
titled 1.-THE Land Seaman" has
prompted me to give another side
of the question so much discussed
| in the United States today, namely,
| 'eThe Landing of Lord Mayor of
Cork" He came to our shores in
behalf of the British enslaVed peo-
pie of Ireland, came without a
Passport because England does not
wish to have her atrocities and
crimes made known, came in the
name of a principle for which the
United States claims she entered
the world war, namely, the rights
of small nations. The spirits of
thousands of boys, the cream of
American manhood, who made the
supreme sacrifice, to make the
world safe for democracy. to estab-
Esh the rights of small nations to
determine the government under
which they shall live, still cry to
us: \
take up our fight against the foe
Or We'll not sleep in Flanders field
where the popies grow"
Germany was the offending ma
ton when $4,000 of the precious
sons of American mothers gave
IL cir young lives to make the world
safe for democracy. Tyranny was
the foe they fought and shall we,
because that foe has changed his
field of action from Flanders to
Ireland and because mighty Eng
land is now the offending nation,
shall we, l say, fail in the duty we
owe to those heroes who died for
the rights Of small nations? Much
abuse has been heaped on the head
of our secretary of labor because
he defended the lord mayor of
Cork, in obedience to law that
was made, not in peaceful Wash
ington despite her fair promises,
but in Flanders field and the ink
in which it is written is the warm,
red lifa's blood of thousands of
Americas sons. We have all read
IN Uncle Toms Cabin how, when
he Quaker was helping the con-
slave to escape to liberty,
he reprobate lawyer declared the
quaker must give him the slave for
MS captive, because. he said, II
save the law on my side" and to-
lay Americas British controlled
Dress declares that Secretary of
labor Wilson is a traitor. for they
claim Eve have the law on our

But the true American is thank
ul to God for men like our secre-
cry of labor who. like Wendell
7hillips. has the courage to sac
'ifice himself in the fight of the
weak and wronged and enslaved
leainst tyranny and injustice. The
ribute due our secretary of labor
or the stand he has taken is

In 1891 out Of every thousand babies

they were a year old. Last year, be-

In the first place. you will require
certain dishes and utensils for the

be used for no other purpose. and
should be kept in a place apart

Your hands must be cream, and all
the dishes thoroughly cleansed and
boiled. The feeding bottles and the
rubber nipples are placed in boracic
acid solution after boiling.
Most doctors advise eight OF nine
feelings per day up % three months
Of age, and six feelings afterwaru.
You should have as many feeding
bottles as there are feelings. All
the modified milk necessary for the
24-hours should be prepared and
bottled at one time
Under no circumstances should a
half-emptied or unclaimed bottle be
used. After the feeding, if the milk
