 36Eenin8 Fairy Tale ~MAQY GRAHAM BOWER
JUMPING MICE
~WAQY GRAHAM BONNER

We are members of the Jumping ing Mouse.
 Instead of people saying they al ways jump when they see a mouse they should hear of the mice who are known as the Jumping Mice. It is our family name"
 "It is indeed" said Julia Jumping Mouse.
 Were relatives, I believe, of the Jerboa family of Europe" said Misa Joan Jumping Mouse. '"rhere aren't many of us in this country.
 we have curious ways, I believe. They don't seem curious to us because they are our ways, but folks say they are curious-curious to them, no doubt, because they are not their ways.
 That is always the way 1t is. Peo- ple think others are curious who aren't like them.
 Now, we think that people are curi- ous, and people think that Jumping Mice are curious and strange and so there it is.
 '"They think it is strange that we like to be about always at night like the owls.
 We like to live in great meadows, or near the prairies, or at the out skirts of huge forests. We're not in the least sociable. People needn't be afraid we'd jump at them as they jump at our cousins, the House Fam lily, because we volt go near them, and they won't see us unless they come arlooking for us and seeking us where they are pretty sure to find us, In some of the sorts of places Pxs mentioned
 "We wear reddish yellow suits and we have thin bodies and very thin tails-that is one tail apiece. We have long hind legs and feet which help us to jump We can carry our food in our pouches. We have two of these either side of our mouths, and they come in very nice and handy as mar kettng baskets.
 "I don't see how people can bother to shop and carry their food under their arms when they might have nice pouches by their mouths and store it away that way, and then put 1t into their mouths as they wanted to eat 1t.
 "Our long tails help us so much when we jump and we can make great long jumps magnificent jumps!
 "Tve had a fine winters nap, have you?"
 "Yes," said Miss Julia Jumping Mouse, 'T have. My nest was so nice and warm, just a little under the ground. I had a beautiful lining of grass for it. also had a stOrehouse built of my nest which held delicious goodies such as berries and nuts"
 i've heard" said Miss Joan Jump ing Mouse, that my mother jumped and made a fine escape once when danger was near when I was but a

GOMPERS DENOUNCES MOVE TO RECOGNIZE BOLSHEVIK TYRANNY
Declares Such Action By United States Would Be Base Betrayal
 of Civilization.

Chicago, May 5.-Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, issued statement here de claring that recognition by the United States of the "Bolshevik Tyranny" in Russia would be "a needless and base betrayal of civilization"
 Declaring that American public life was being flooded with propa- ganda and that "predatory interna- tional finances has it's appetite up and believes it sees loot in Russia" he asserted that nothing "would be more drought with disaster to hu- ma1lity than American recognition of the Bolshevik power in any form" Lenine, MT. Gompers denounced as "bandit merchant" ready to take what he can get in exchange for the heritage of a people rendered help less by him and his"
 A fund of millions of dollars, he asserted, was being used in the United States for Bolshevism propa- been offered in places where the American people can i'll afford be- trayal."
 "In making these assertions I am
 mindful of the amazing propaganda
 with which American public life is being flooded. I am mindful of the intrigue which is everywhere about us and above all 1 am mindful of the l newly adopted policy of the Ameri- lcan-Anglo-German banking group l which perhops constitutes the most dangerous element in the whole chain of pro-Bolshevik effort in l America, because it has it's hands on the most power.
 "The truth is that predatory in l ternational finance has it's appetite up and believe 1t sees loot in Rus sia.
 "I know of nothing more cynical
 than the attitude of European states | men and hnanciers toward the Rus sian muddle. Essentially it is their l purpose as laid down at Genoa, to ] place Russia in economic vassalage
 and give political recognition in ex- { change. Recognition in exchange for
 concessions. They know immediate
 trade is not to be had, but they know
 that eventually sthey can get at the | gold, coal, the oil, the timber and
 future products of the Soviet.
 "It is my understanding that
 America stands by the policy that we
 can have no dealing with Russia un-
 til there is in that country a gov
 ernment answerable to the people
 put in office by the people. Prime
 requisites are elections, free press,
 free assemblage, free speech, none of
 which has existed since Lenine creat- l ed his autocracy.
 And Secretary of State Hughes,
 we may be sure stands by his splen- 1 did declaration that even If funda
 mental changes are contemplated we
 must still have convincing evidence
 of the consummation of such | chanoeS'"

Here Are Red
 Orders for U. 5

Here IS the bolshevist authority for burrowing, disrupting and de- stroying in the United States-the order to smash the American Fed eration of Labor. It is from a declarationof the Red Labor Union International, the Lenine labor propaganda machine, issued but four months ago, January I, 1922.
 We are on the eve of ere ating a consolidated left wing bloc rallying on one hand, the independent unions, on the other, all left wing organiza- tions affiliated to the American Federation of Labor We pre- sume that this bloc, created under the pressure of acute social clashes will be the start ing point of the organization of red trade union movement in the United States"
 At about the same time a bol- shevik courier in Berlin was re- lieved of a document of instruc tions from the Third Internation- ale, Lenine's political propaganda machine, containing the following paragrahp:
 Especial attention must be paid to the American Fedora ton of Labor. It must be broken, agitating with the en- ergetic aid of the l. w. w. for creation of revolutionary trade unions"

 ''It is the cold of the winter that I don't like. If it were warm I wouldn't cuddle up in a little ball and wind myself all up to keep the cold out" 'Neither would l." said Miss Julia Jumping Mouse. '"The meadow mice, our cousins, are different. They act quite differently from the way we do. "But I must be getting back home to the nest now,' said Miss Julia Jump ing Mouse. "Such a nice home as we have. Very pleasant rooms and fine food stored away. We expect to eat a great deal this year as the custom always has been with the Jumping Mice
 "It makes sleep so pleasant when one has eaten a great deal!'
 You're wight, young lady," said Miss Joan Jumping Mouse Well I must be jumping home too. Good-by, my dear, so glad to have had a little chat"
 "Good-by, my dear" said Miss Julia Jumping Mouse, and jumped off to- ward home.

WITHOUT STREET ADDRESS YOUR MAIL IS DELAYED
 AT OFFICE OF DELIVERY

The Dead Letter Office has been in existence ever since Ben Franklin started our postal service. Bven then people addressed mail to MT. Ezekiel Smithers, Atlantic Coast" aud ex- pected Ben to know just where Zeke lived.
 Perhaps they had Zeke's address in letters up in the garret, maybe a chest full of lem, but then it was easier to let Ben hunt Zeke. Today people are addressing letters to John Smith, New York, N. r., or Chicago, ILL, thinking Uncle Sam can locate him, which is just as incomplete as was Zeke's ad- dress of yore. The Postofflce Depart ment asks you to put the number and street in the address. 1t helps you.

The Story of Our States

 S899 sent out by ing to the Colorado river. There is no authentic record of fur ther explorations until over 200 years had elapsed. In 1776 two Franciscan friars, in their at tempt to find the shortest way to the Pacific, went from Santa Fe to Utah Lake. The Great Salt Lake, however, was not discovered until 1924, when James Bridges, a trapper, in wandering through this region came upon this huge, inland, salt sea.
 But the real history of Utah begins with the rise of Mormon power there. Discouraged by the agitation in Illinois and Mis- souri, the Mormons decided to emigrate to the great West. In large caravans they travelled across the plains and in 1847 came to Salt Lake City where they settled Here they flour ished, increasing their numbers and by 1852 they reached a total in this vicinity of over 15,OOO. Meanwhile, In 1848, by the terms of the treaty of peace with Mex leo, a huge western tract. of which Utah was a part, was ceded to the United States. As no definite government was ar- ranged for, the control of affairs locally was for number of years entirely in the hands of the off cers of the Mormon church. They, accordingly, made up a constitution and organized un- der the name of the State of Deseret. This is a word taken from the Book of Mormon, and signifies, Industry" Application was made for admission to the Union, but this was refused and the federal government instead organized the Territory of Utah in 1850. The first governor was Brigham Young, the successor of Joseph Smith and president of the Mormon church.
 The attempt to do away with polygamy met with little success until in 1890 the Mormon church finally agreed not to countenance it. Meanwhile, growing antag- onism between the Mormons and non-Mormons verged nearly on civil war. Finally general amnesty was declared and after many requests Utah was ac- cepted as the forty-fifth state of the Union in 1896.
