washed sheets. The March wind
blew under one of the big white
pieces of linen as the muskrat
lady was hanging it over the line,
and almost before Nurse Jane
knew it the sheet turned into a
sail like one on boat and lifted
her up off her paws.
"Oh. Wiggy! Helpm cried
Nurse Jane. Don't let me blow
away"
With a bound Uncle Wiggily
sprang from his chair, rushed out
and caught hold of Nurse Jane,
Just rs she was sailing off over
the fence, being blown by the
wind, with the sheet for a sail
Il grabbed you just in time!"
laughed the bunny. as he pulled
her back into the yard.
Yes agreed Miss Fuzzy
Wuzzy. "I had no idea the wind
was so strong, | must use twice as
many clothespins to hold the
sheets on the line"
With Uncle Wiggily's help the
wash was hung out-not a very
big wash, just a few sheets-and
then Nurse Jane went back in the
bungalow to do the sweeping,
busting and baking.
The wind kept on blowing
harder and harder, soon drying
the sheets and whipping them
about on the line so that they
doomed and cracked like guns.
Nurse Jane was in the kitchen
making cake and Uncle Wiggily
was looking from the window at
the fluttering sheets on the line
when. all of sudden, the bunny
gentleman saw some Of the
clothespins coming loose and a
sheet started sailing away.
"Oh, Nurse Jane! Your sheets
will blow away! Your sheets will
blow away!" shouted Uncle Wig
gily, running to the door. "I'll
save them for you! I'll stop
them!"
Nurse Jane was putting the
cake in the oven, so she couldn't
drop it In a moment, and it was
a second or two before she could
run out into the yard. When she
did she saw something that made
her gasp for breath.
Uncle Wiggily had caught hold
of the corners of two sheets
which were just going to blow
away off the line. The rabbit
gentleman held tightly to the big
white squares of cloth and then,
all of a sudden, the wind blew
harder than ever. off went tba
sheets and away went Uncle Wig
gily sailing, sailing, sailing!
Up over the fence he went, for
he would not let go the sheets.
and they were just like the sails
of boat, taking him along. Up,
up, up, higher, higher and higher
sailed the bunny.
"Oh, Uncle Wiggily! Come
back! Come back!" cried Nurse
Jane.
TT can't!" faint and far
away sounded the bunnys voice

VERSE OF TODAY
THE ANTIQUE SHOP.

Through old doorway that lovely yet.
We wandered in, and yielded to the spell
OF odds and ends-ruins of who could tell
What dear ambitions! Heirlooms by the set,
Clocks ticking bravely still lest forget
The honored houses where they used to dwell
All proudly fair though huddled there to sell;
Age circling round them like amulet
We bought tiny picture For the frame"
She said "Chaste as halo and frail"
But later: "Oh,' she cried, that child" Who
pale.
Upon a little sofa red as flame,
Beeseechingly through the dust-woven veil,
Stared forth at us who did not know his name.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.


Chicago, March 9.-Swift down
turns in the value of grain resulted
from heavy selling today largely
due to ending of the drought which
has affected the southwest. Wheat
closed unsettled, &c to csc net
lower, with May $136 to $1.36A
and July $1.17H to $1.17%. Corn
finished 21ac to 25s C to "A C down,
oats off 1c to u to "a to 27s c,
and provisions at a setback of lie
to zoe.
With snow and rain in Kansas,
Oklahoma and Texas said to be
ample to bring up all wheat yet
alive and to assure excellent growth
with right weather conditions here
after, it was quickly apparent that
the buying side of the wheat mar
ket was at a big disadvantage.
Smallness of farm stocks of cereals
as shown in the government report
had been evidently for the most
part discounted in advance, and al
though moderate upturns in price
took place at the opening, the ma
iority of dealers were soon seen to
be pressing to sell.
Corn and oats gave way in sym
pathy with wheat. For the time
being the corn market appeared to
have no good support except from
spectators who had previously
been sellers and who were there
fore in position to take profits.
Lower prices on lard at Liver
pool, together with the break il
grain values here, weakened the
provision market despite an ad-
vance in hog values.
Closing prices:
Wheat - May, s1.S6; July,
$1.17M.
Corn-May, 60Bc; July, 63Bc,
Oats--May, 39c; July. 40Bc.
Pork-May, $4,000.
Lard-May, $11.S2; July, $11.50.
Ribs-May, $10.S0; July, $1O.50.

Nurse Jane, "but I'm afraid it's

The rabbit gentleman said he
hardly thought so, as he wasn't
afraid of little wind. But Nurse
Jane told him to sit in his easy
chair and read the paper while
she washed.
A little later Uncle Wiggily,
looking from the window, saw

To the Republican Voters

AAVING been designated by the Re
L publican Assembly candidate for
the nomination for County Treasurer at
the primary election to be held Septem-
Der 18th, 1922, have filed my accep-
tance of the same.
The primary law was passed with
the intention of giving the voters the
right to select who their candidates for
the different offices shall be, thus taking
this power from the professional politi-
clans and wire-pullers.
We spend several thousand dollars
every two years to this end. Believing
that the people should have this right of
choice and something for the additional
tax burden placed upon them, and hav-
ing been designated a candidate, l con-
slider it my duty to make the race ~
Would state that have been tax
payer and property owner in Delta
County for 27 years. Have improved
my ranch from raw land to what it now
is. Have raised my family in your
midst and worked for the improvement
and advancement of Delta County all
these years.
My private affairs are so arranged
that I can, if elected, give my time to
the duties of the office.
Am opposed to any political com
OllldClOI NY d CdIlOlOStC0 lOI dlly OlllCO
whereby the will of the party and the
will of the people may be defeated.
Am in favor of the strictest enforce
ment of all our laws
have alway called myself Repub-
1ican and have as consistently supported
and voted that ticket as most Republi-
cans have done, but have not been ac-
tive in politics.
My experience has been varied and
has been such, I believe, as to fit me to
discharge the duties of the office of
County Treasurer to the satisfaction of
the public.
With this statement before you ask
for and shall appreciate your support at
the primary election to be held Septem-
ber 18th.

Yours truly,
