Little Stories For Bedtime
LUCKY PETER RABBIT
ny THORNTON w. RURGE

Some folks seem TO have been
born lucky; some seem to have been
born unlucky, and some are so lucky
part of the time and so unlucky the
gest of the time that it Is sometimes
quite hard to sa. which they are.
Peter Rabbit is that kind. He IS
dreadfully unlucky in getting into all
kinds of scrapes ana then wonder
fully lucky in getting out of them
again. Now with most people there
isn't any such thing as luck. No, sir,
there isn't
When the winter has been very
long and cold and hard and food has
been very scarce Striped Chipmunk
doesn't mind. He comes out in the
spring as saucy and pert as ever. he
has had plenty to eat all winter and
il always makes him smile when
some Of his neighbors tell him that
he was lucky. He knows better.
There was no luck about 1t. he
worked hard, ever 80 hard, TO store
away that food and make sure that
he had plenty. Many and many
time the little people Of the Green
Meadows have thought that Reddy
Fox would surely be caught by Bow
ser the Hound and when Reddy mas
escaped they have said that ne was
lucky. Nothing OF the kind! Reddy
had Just used his wits and fooled
Bow5er the Hound
So there isn't nearly so much luck
IN this world as some people think
Most Of what people call good luck
"a nothing but the result Of hard
work or smart wits or both. ana
most of what people call bad luck is
nothing but the result OF carelessness
or laziness or stupidity. But some
times it seems as II there is such
thing as real luck. 1t was that
wav with Peter Rabbit when he
tried to follow Busy Bee to her
storehouse in the Green Forest. lie
saw her start from the sweet clover
patch out on the Green Meadows
she went up until she was only
tiny speck and then she started IN
4 straight line for the Green Forest
and Peter started after her. But he
hadn't made three jumps before he
found that he must look where he
was going. and he couldn't do that
and look aip in the sky at the same
time And SO. OF course, he lost
sight of Busy Bee.
ANYWAY" said Peter to himself
eshe flew in this direction and there
is no place for storehouse until she
reaches the Green Forest, so il keep
right on going / may find the place
I II / keep my eyes open when I reach
3 the Green Forest"
So. though Peter was disappointed
at losing sight OF Busy Bee so soon,
he didn't let a title thing like that
bother him much It isn't Peters
way ut can't be helped and so I'll
make the best of IT," said Peter
which was quite like Peter and a
very wise way of looking at the
matter.
Now. though Peter fully intended
TO go just as straight to the Green
Forest as a straight line could be
made, he didn't. You see. it isn't

NEW YORK.-Ribbon is playing a
very big part in the ornameutation
of summer frocks. 1t does a very
novel thing in this Claire gown when
it fashions itself, by means OF little
squares, into very handsome inser-
ton for very bouffant skirt.
The unusual treatment given the
ribbon is that of being folded into
squares and caught together by a
narrower ribbon. thus forming trim
ming with an openwork effect
through which may be envisioned a
bit of lovely lavender petticoat. YER
lily. the season seems to be one OF
lavender.
IL the frock itself is not lavender,
then there must be somewhere about
it touch of lavender ribbon or a
lavender flower.
The bodice OF the gown is snug and
wears very short and very snug
sleeves, while the skirt is full and
quite long. Undoubtedly long skirts
are on the way. Panels never stop
short Of the ankle and those skirts
which are panelless and straight
hemmed are rarely more than seven
inches from the floor.

Ricci Says Vatican
And Quirino[ Danish
Suspicion Of Schisn1

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE re-
cent ceremonies in Rome incident to
the installation OF Pope Plus XT,
should remove the last suspicion Of
a schism between church and state
in Italy, Ambassador Ricci declared
last night in an address before the
Catholic Society of New York. The
very fact Of his having been invited
to speak before that body, he added
was evidence strongly in support of
the hope that the legends" of the
past were finally to be obliterated.
"There is no body in America" he
said. "who would dare say that the
pope Is a prisoner and the Italian
government his jailer since Plus XI,
blessed the kneeling and applauding
crowd from the loggia of st. Peter
and the representative of the Royal
Army spontaneously asked to be
among those soldiers who were to

"Why!" exclaimed Peter, ait sounds

Peters way to travel very far in a
straight line. He takes advantage of
every little bit Of tall grass and
every bush to hide. And so he runs
a little way to this side and then a
little way to the other side, and never
very far In straight line. 1t was
just that wa. this time and so when
at last he reached the Green Forest
it wasn't at all where Busy Bee, fly
ing in a straight line, had entered it.
But Peter didn't know this and he
went eagerly looking up in the tree
tops for glimpse OF Busy Bee and
never getting it.
So Peter went deeper and deeper
into the Green Forest and he wan
dered this way and he wandered
that way. Finally Peter stopped at
the foot Of a big tree to rest. He had
given up all hope of finding the
storehouse of Busy Bee and he was
tired and disappointed. He sat there
for long time thinking it all over.
p an by he became aware of hum
ming sound At first he didn't think
much about it, but after while he
began to wonder what it was and
where it came from. Then he noticed
that when his ear was close to the
tree it sounded louder.
Why exclaimed Peter with the
most surprised look on his face. it
sounds just like the humming of Busy
Bee and l believe 1T comes from in
side this very tree!"
He looked up There. way up near

Commissioners HOLD REGULAR
MEET|NG-H|GH DISCUSSED

The County Commissioners met in
regular session at the Court House
Monday, transacting the affairs of
the county in the usual routine.
Aside from the passing upon the
monthly bills against the county
there was little business of impor-
tance for the month.
The session was somewhat livened
during the afternoon by the appear
anee of the Road Committee of the
Phoebe Commercial club who were
interested in the extension of the
Secondary Highway now proposed
from Ely to Phoebe to connect under
the federal rulings two county seats.
The committee consisted OF Senator
A. l.. Scott, NJ. l.. Lee, r. r. Orr,
Chas Thompson, John Amsden and
e. C. d. Marriage, secretary of the
club.
Mr. Scott acting as spokesman for
the committee, took up the matter
in detail explaining to the commits
sioners the reason for the prompt
action of the Commercial body in
the matter. The Legislature hav-
ing anticipated the passags of the

AUDITOR MAKES
ANNUAL REPORT

The Record has completed the
publication of the Annual Report of |
County Auditor Georgia L. English, |
showing the financial condition of
Lincoln County for the year 1921,
The report makes good showing
for Lincoln Coutny when the general
conditions of the country at large is
taken into consideration. While We
hear many of the tax payers com
planning about the high tax levy, it
is surprisingly low when compared
with that of other states on a valua-
tion of $S,01S,52S, the state levy be-
ing only mills while that of many
of the western states is at least twice
that amount and many instances
much more. The state and county
levy according to the published de
tail is only 1913 mills with the spe-
cial school and town levy added
makes 1t somewhat higher.
Only in the instance of Alamo would
the levy seem to be execcive, not
having any railroads to increase the
property valuation, the special levy
reaches 8 mills.
The tax receipts for the year from
the tax roll, which includes the last
: half of the 1920 tax including pen.

gineers of Salt Lake City. Utah, who

Prior to 1921 the Ida May Mine
has been a steady producer of silver
copper ore, making an average pro-
duction of two cars per month, as

should ENCOURAGE
DEVELOPMENT OF
AGRICULTURE

While the Record is supposed to |
issue from mining camp we are
interested in the development of the
latont industries and possible re-
sources Of the state. The state
husbandry should be encouraged
and kept before the people, as there
is no doubt great possibilities along
agricultural lines that car be prof
itably developed, In the higher al
titudes in the worn out stock ranges
there is much room for experiment,
building of reservoirs and the CON
servation of the food waters in many
of the natural catch basins, where
water can be stored at a surprisingly
small expense, sufficient TO insure a
crop of either wheat, oats or barley,
1t is also possible that some of the
higher lands, where the volcanic
soils exist on the altered bedrocks
not containing too much lime, where
natural basins exist in the country,
tending to hold the moisture sue
cess will be made as it has been in
many sections of the northwest.
Recent reports show that the SOW.
ing of wheat is slowly on the in.
crease and in the sections where 1t Is
being sown it is meeting with better
success each year. While we realize
that only certain sections will b'
found adapted to wheat growing. i
should be encouraged, and farmer
should be given all the assistanc
possible to make the necessary eX
!, periments.
In the sections where farmers ar
having good success with differen
varieties of wheat, many are adhel
ing strictly to the old club variet.
while others are having good SUI
cess with the better grades that az
now being grown for milling pu
poses, such as the Marquis Whit
Australian, Bluestem and Ear
Bart, all of which are good fol
varieties.

The reduced freight rates become
