Hoover repeating the incorporating demands OF

subjects in connection with the operations except the
Soviet contention for the right to limit the number

UNCLE WIGGILY'S SPRING
SONG.
BY Howard r, Garis,

"Dc you know what day this is?"
asked Nurse Jane of Uncle Wiggily
one morning, as the bunny rabbit
gentleman came down stairs to
breakfast in his hollow stump bun
Galow.
as it apple pie day." asked Mr..
Longears, meaning the day on
which Nurse Jane baked pies.
"Oh, moi" laughed Miss Fuzzy
Wuzzy.
Then perhaps it is chocolate
cake morning." said Uncle Wiggily,
hoping he would get a chance to
clean out the frosting dish.
Wrong again." the muskrat lady
answered.
Can it possibly be maple sugar
Tuesday," the bunny gentleman
wanted to know. ..,
Goodness me sakes alive! |
should say not!" exclaimed Nurse
Jane. This is Wash Monday, but
it is also the first day of the new
season. Don't you remember the
verse:
March the tWenty-first is
spring,
The little birds begin to
sing!
ooh, hou laughed the bunny.
''Thats fine! ] had forgotten about
spring! After breakfast III go out
and listen to the brides sing. I'm
glad spring is here"
So after he had eaten some
stewed oatmeal pancakes, with lol-
lypop gravy sprinkled down the in
side, Uncle Wiggily hoped over
the fields and through the woods
to listen to the spring birds sing.
But somehow or other not a bird
did he hear. Perhaps it was because
\ there were still some patches OF
snow in the fields and under the
trees. The birds may have seen
this snow and said to themselves:
I'VE will not sing yet. Winter
cannot have gone away while the
| snow fingers"
At any rate, Uncle Wiggily heard
no spring songs, and he was quite
| disappointed. He sat down on as
soft a stump as he could find and
thought like this:
well, il there aren't any birds
to sing and welcome spring II
sing myself"
Now Uncle Wiggily was not
much of a singer. In fact | don'i
| believe rabbits are very good al
songs, anyhow, especially when
they have the rheumatism as Uncle
Wiggily had. But, nevertheless, he
began to sing.
"Oh, spring! spring!
Beautiful spring!
OF thee | sing!
Ting ling!
Bang -bing!"
That's the song Uncle Wiggily
sang as he sat there on the stump
And he sang louder and longer
making his voice carry away uI
| above the trees.
And then all of sudden, as he
was singing his spring song oui
from behind the stump sprang the
bad old fox. The fox held his paws

and romping lambs and fillies and
moCking birds and lilies will cure
US of the withstand hence the
poet sings. When all the world is
frozen the poet, in his ire, bewails
the trade he's chosen, and swats a
halting Tyre; but when the spring
is waking, beyond all chance of
taking, the bonds of winter break
ing, he sings with HOmers fire. He
sings of babbling streamlets where
swim the trout and carp, of Lunas
silver beamlets, of birds with voices
sharp; he sings, in soaring phrases
about the woodland mazes, till some
one, mad as blazes, comes up and
busts his harp.

We'll, that's funny favor, but
III grant it," said Mr.. Longears.
What's the matter? Don't you like
spring songs?"
Not the way you sing" cried the
fuzzy fox, as he ran away as fast
as he could. You sound like a pig
squealing under a rusty gate and
trolley car going around a curve.

Uncle Wiggily was so surprised he
hardly knew what to say But as
the fox ran off the bunny opened
his mouth and loudly sang the sec
ond verse of the spring song.

ny, but as long as it drove the
Fox away I'm glad" Then he kept
on singing until he had sung
enough, and soon after that the
birds came. OF course, they were
better singers, than the bunny. And

What's the matter, Uncle Wig

why, I'm singing" answered
the bunny gentleman. This is my
spring song! I'm surprised at you
asking such a question:"
"Waitl Wait" cried the fox as
he saw Uncle Wiggily open his
mouth wider than before. "Are you
going to sing again?'
Il certainly am" answered the
bunny gentleman. "If there are no
birds to sing and welcome spring on
the tWenty-first of March, I'll do it.
I'll sing -
wait a minute! Wait a minute!"
begged the Fox, still keeping his
paws over his ears. Would you
mind doing me a favor?"
well, it depends on what kind it
IS, said the bunny gentleman. "If
it IS to let you nibble my ears
No. 1t isn't that this time" the
