portunities to invest in oil pools Of fabulous promise
and git-edged securities OF which no established I'M

test to apply to all such propositions lie submits the
following questions to the promoter or solicitor:

Uncle Wiggily was hopping along
through the woods one day, looking
at the snow on the ground and
wondering how many more days un-
til Christmas, when, all of a sudden,
the bunny gentleman heard behind
him voice calling:
"Wait a minute, Uncle Wiggily! -
Uncle Wiggily turned around but
could see no one. Then his pink nose
began to twinkle and he whispered
to himself:
off that's the Woozie Wolf or
the Fuzzy Fox | guess ID better not
wait a minute, nor even half Il min

ears! >
Uncle Wiggily started to hop as
fast as he could to get to IL safe
place, but all of a sudden his paws

ears will surely be nibbled now! "

He tried to hide his ears under
his hat, but the best he could do the
points stuck out. Then Uncle Wig

to hide its head in the sand when
hunters chase it.

Prospective Candidates
Grooming for Election

While the primary election will not
be held until next August yet it is
the custom for candidates to get their
names before the people in the early
part Of the year. It is the rule that
following the holiday season each elec-
ton year the candidates make their an
nouncement for office. They may not.
however. take their announcements so
early to the press but they permit
their friends to know what they intend
to do.
1t may be said with some degree Of
certainty that Tom J. Pollock will be
a candidate this summer Tor the dem.
ocratic nomination Of representative.
Mr.. Pollock is a man of broad exper-
fence he is student Of public ques.
tons and has been for many years.
He is a man Of unquestioned honor
and integrity and would be alert in
the house Of representatives. He is
good campaigner and would make an
unucually active and forceful campaign
should he thoroughly make up his
mind to go In the fight. Mr.. Pollock
has managed his private affairs in
manner that would give him plenty
OF time to devote to the office whether
it paid remunerative compensation
or not.
