UNCLE WIGGHY AND BABY
TABBY.
BY Howard B. CARTS

One day, when Uncle Wlggily
was out hopping through the
woods hoping he might find an
adventure. he came to the house
where Tommie, Jole and Kittie
Kat, the pussy children, lived.
II suppose they will be at school
learning how to tell rat holes from
mice holes" said Uncle Wiggily to
himself. "Well, If the children
aren't in I'll stop and visit a little
with Mrs. Kat"
So the bunny gentleman hopped
up to the little pussy home and,
knocking on the door, It opened
for him to enter.
ION, come in, Uncle Wiggilv,
Come in" mewed Mrs. Kat. IT
just have to run; l can't leave her
alone hardly a second"
DO you mean Kittie Kat"
asked Uncle Wigglly. as Kittie
i'll, and did you have to keep her
home from school, and is she so
fussy that you can't leave her
alone?"
"Oh, no." cried Mrs. Kat. Come
In, shut the door and I'll tell you.
Come on back to the kitchen with
me" she added, as she ran along
the hall, having come to let the
| bunny in.
And when Uncle Wigglly reach
ed the kitchen there he saw a cute
little baby kitten, sitting in a high
chair, while Mrs, Kat went to the
sink to finish washing the dishes.
This is my newest little pussy, j."
said the mother cat. Her name
Is Baby Tabby, and she is such n

VERSE OF TODAY
TO A MUSICIAN.

7 thought that only God could make the rain,
But when you laid your hands upon the keys
The room was full of gentle harmonies-
An eager shower pattering the pane,
The hushed and wistful tread
or rain at night that marches overhead.
The kind gray rain that stills the windy trees.
I thought that only God could make a star,
But ! have heard your fingers build the sky,
Have watched the yellow dusk Of autumn die,
And night creep up the east immense and far,
Then glittering and bright
I've seen the Hunter grt with silver light
Orion with his shining hounds sweep by.
I thought that only God could make the sea-
But in your music the unbounded deep
Is gathered up as in a treasure heap
Calm spaces rock where singing tides free
The cloudy emerald foam,
Ships on the worlds dim verge far, far from
home
And pools unrlpped where the hushed winds
sleep.

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
GOVERNOR BONE ON ALASKA.
(From the Minneapolis Tribune.)

(From the Minneapolis Tribune)
Alaska needs capital. Alaska needs people. Its
natural advantages are obvious Its resources are
apparent and real Its opportunities inviting
and manifold. But chaotic system of government
has repealed capital and retarded growth and pop
ulation."
In these terse sentences Governor Scott c. Bone
begins his report on Alaska for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1921. The beginning is also COM
prehensve summing up of cause and effect, of the
present status and the wonderful poentialities Of
our far north territory. Almost any newspaper man
would know that this report prepared by a
trained newspaper man. Governor Bone is all Of
that. In this instance he combines the Observant
reporter with the painsaking analyst and the cour-
ageous editor who is not afraid to call a spade n
spade. One who starts reading this narrative is
attractiveness of the STORY does go far to bring
out in Alaska the activities and governmental re-
forms that Governor Bone pleads for, more news
paper men than he will be disappointed
Governor Bone does not like the long distance
bureaucratic government that IS imposed Alaska.
He hopes for the early coming of day when there
will be less red tape and greater facility in getting
things done. As 1t Is the pioneer spirit is sfled.
Individual initiative is DISCOURAGED Theory i'm
pedes practical business Absent treatmentEfrom
Washington-is unfruitful of worth while results.
Uncle Sam must manage in some way to get closer
to Alaska and keep closer to 1t If he is to bring to
the American people the return their investment
that they ought to have and have by a proper
ordering of governmental affairs.
The near completion Of the government railroad
from the coast into the tnterior-from Seward to
Fairbanks-is described the first step toward the
building of an empire. but this enterprise must be
supplemented with others There must be practical.
busnesslike policies that will appeal capital and
invite population. consolidation of bureaus under
one department head in Washington Is laid down
as prerequisite. Bills now pending contemplate
this consolidation.
Looking some years ahead, Governor Bone fore
sees Alaska divided up into two more territories
preliminary to statehood-such a division will
make for expeditions administration. He foresees
It filling enough agricultural lands to sustain from
100000 to 10000 Inhabitants producing extern
sve wealth from its mines OF coal and precious
metals its fisheries and its forests; carrying its
products quickly to the market places
Altogether It Is alluring picture that Governor
Bone draws Of the Alaska that is to be, and dis
hearening portrait he makes of the Alaska that is
The gap between the two is a wide one but he
promises 1t be narrowed with remarkable speed
If Washington applies itself to the project in
the right way.

agreed Mrs. Kat. But Baby Bun

store. But I don't suppose I can
think of It, and yet I need a loaf

"You go along to the store"

Soon the winter will be gone

A STATEWIDE sPAN1sH-1ANGUAGE wEEKL,

New Mexico needs statewide pansh-language
weekly newspaper, devoted solely to the beterment
Of the Spanish speaking people and the develop
ment of civic ideals and aspirations.
The present weeklies, published in Spanish, with
but one or two exceptions conducted by gang
politicians for the sole benefit of gangsters. The
exceptions are purely local publications. The peo-
pie are told most egregous lies and are allowed to
read only what the boss" wants them to read.
Most of these people read only in Spanish.
They cut off from the truth because of this linn
itaton.
To presume that the Spanish speaking people
desire the expressions to which they have been sub
jected is absurd. The Journal is convinced that
they would hail the day of their deliverance were
they given opportunity to know the truth and
to act in concert.
The we-being of the Engllsh-speaking popula-
ton is wrapped up with the we-being OF the
spanish-speaking people. With dark spots of re-
preston and oppression in the state there is a
standing to the welfare Of all.
We can expect civic liberty for ourselves only
TO the degree in which we have citzenry in the
state which Is enlightened on public question and
spurred to demand their freedom. AS long as boss
ridden counties exist, may expect the state to
carry handicap which will retard it.
The journal has had desire for long time to
assist in the publication of such weekly, but has
found the financial burden of launching 1t too great
to be undertaken alone.
This is a proper subject for thought and action
among people who devoted to public progress
and the redemption of New Mexico.
We invite suggestions from those with the vision
to see the crying need. We must work out solu-
ton to this problem before New Mexico so for
ward it should. Write to and give US your
ideas of how the thing be accomplished. Ten
thousand dollars should put such a publication on
a selfsupporting basis
The printing press, properly directed Is the ave-
to a better understanding Of the duties OF cti-
zenship among these, among ALL peoples.

that the relations between France and England

THE AGRICULTURAL CONFERENCE.

There is an outcry that the agricultural confer
ence Is special-interest group seeking special adj
vantages. The Journal does not agree with this
viewpoint. Agriculture is Frustrated Its disease
is in need of diagnosis. The indicated medicine
should be administered The economic health Of
the remainder of the nation is dependent upon the
health Of this basic industry Its disease Of paralysis
is infectious.
There is talk of cooperative methods among
farmers. At once an effort is made to have 1t ap-
pear that the proposal is something RADICAL sort
of a revival of populism. Such, of course, is not
the case. The talk of cooperation means co-opera-
ton in the ordinary meaning Of the word and not
in the of any highspun and revolutionary po-
lltical theorems.
Industry and finance are situated and or
ganized that necessary cooperation is not difficult
OF attainment. In fact IT has proceeded to the point
where combinations in restraint of trade seem to
be the danger. Farmers are indiydualistic by ma
ture and employment. Living isolated lives on lands
far separated with little chance for the exchange
of ideas or the installation of cooperative methods
in either buying or selling the farmer "goes it
alone" The result is that he buys in the dearest
market and sells inopportunely in the cheapest
market. The cost of living to the people will not
be enhanced by a better cooperation between
farmers.
In addition, the farmer lacks that concerted
action which gets results in legislation. His
ouirements are never presented with the force
as those of the financial group who can send
committee of dig men" to make and enforce de-
mands. Farmers need to cooperate in formulating
and making known their needs.
our reserve system is based largely on a system
of ninety-day and six-montbs' credits. Why? Sim
ply because that meets the needs of industry. But
It does not meet the requirements Of the farmer,
whose turnover is annual, the stockman whose
turnover is biennial tri-ennal The reserve sys
TEN should be so oganzed to meet the needs
OF all.
The public should look with sympathy upon the
efforts of agriculture to place itself in favorable
an economic position as the remainder of the in
dusries.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

Chicago Jan. 26,-Enlarged
movement of the new wheat cror
in Argentina had a tendency tC
make the price of wheat average a
little lower today. Closing quota
lions We're unsettled at a c net de-
cline to &c advance, with May
$1.14B to $1.15 and July $1.02 tc
$1.021s. Corn finished Bc to Il {
to CSC down, and oats off II tc
Ac. In provisions the outcome
was unchanged to Csc lower.
With advices at hand that Ar
gentine farmers were offering
wheat freely and that prices both
at Buenos Aires and Liverpool
showed a setback, wheat here gave
evidence from the outset that buy
ers We're at disadvantage. Lack
OF demand was very noticeable al
times. so much so that a reduction
of 100000 bushels in estimates
of the Canadian wheat crop failed
to have any apparent effect on the
market. Word that $4,000 barrels
of flour had been sold for export
from the United States led after
ward, however, to something of a
rally. Besides, st. Louis reported
liberal sales of wheat to millers
Nevertheless. buying orders for flu
ture deliveries Of wheat continued
| to lack volume, and upturns IN
price were not well maintained as
| the session drew to an end.
Values Of corn and oats worked
| downward n little in line with
wheat, but activity of export cal
for corn was check against any
material drop in prices.
Free selling of lard by carriers
and packers gave a downward slant
to the provision market despite ar
advance in the price of hogs.
Closing prices:

$1.02.
