Woodie whispered to the cricket:

"You said you were very good at
nipping and biting, though you
wouldn't bite us. Now is your
chance! Nip the Wolf and Fox so they
won't nibble Uncle Wiggily's ears. /"
Yes, could do that" said the
cricket in gentle voice. "But per-
haps could do something better.
think shall sing them q song that
will make them think of happy days
of 1.-THE past. Perhaps that will do as
much good as biting them.'
Then the cricket began to clirp and
sing. He sang Of the days when the
Fox and Wolf were little fellows,
playing about in the woods, rolling
and tumbling over their brothers and
sisters. The cricket sang Of games
of tag in the bushes, of sliding down
the hills covered with the slippery
brown needles from the pine trees
The cricket sang of wind and rain,
or snow and ice, and of how the little
Wolf and Fox used to- snuggle down
close to the warm fur of their moth
ers Then they had no thoughts Of
nibbling Uncle Wiggily's ears.
As the cricket sang his happy SONG
Imperial Valley press., 1922-08-17

the Fox blinked his eyes, turned aside
and walked slowly away, muttering:
~ wonder why / feel so stranger
i am no longer savage. ! seem to
be gentle little boy Fox again.
And the Wolf said:
81, too, don t seem to want to hurt
Uncle Wiggily now. I have other
feelings. / seem to see a picture of
the days of long ago. Let's go off
in the woods and sleep, Mr.. Fox. - The
Fox said he would and then, with gen
tier looks on their faces than they
had worn for many day, the Fox
and WOLF went off together as the
cricket chiiped and sang.
ssGood!'' whispered the bunny with
twinkle of his pink nose. "That
was better than biting, wasn't it,
Woodie and Waddieg'
The grounding boys said it was and
they hoped away with the bunny,
leaving the cricket to sleep in the
sun. And if the little chicken doesn u
take all her pennies out of the bank
to buy an Easter egg for the baby
|duck, I'll tell you next about Uncle
Wiggily and the grasshopper.

MORE AUTHORITY NEEDED

this railroad labor that the Railroad Labor Board
should possess authority enforce its DEGREES The present
ntoerabe situation has about from lack of such a

gress provides the authority
NJ Congress urged to do that very thing when the
railroad law passed 1t by citizens
of dsnersted judgment that there could be no adequate
and just regulation of the railroads unless the officials do

power fix wages well passenger and freight rates
The Interstate Commerce Commission had long held the

appointed Labor Board to fix wages thus adjusting
railroad expense to railroad income 1t would have been
still logical place both of these complementary
uave tasks the hands of body and the natural body

Congress- yielding to the pressure of labor criticism

but even robbed the Commerce Commission of its old auth
ory that governmental regulation of late has depended

on the willingness of the railroad executives and Workmen
to accept their decisions.
This is weakness and weakness always leads to ncom-

If this theoretical span of life is to be achieved by the

have limited life heretofore And vital statistics

One Minute Essay

The U. S. army did not carry swords
in the world war. They have been
abandoned as battle weapon. In our
army the sword is worn only on formal
occasions; never in field where IT is
hndrance rather than an asset. In ae-
tual battle officers entitled to carry
the saber are armed with automatic re-
volvers. During the world war, owing
to the trench system OF fighting, our
cavalry was unhorsed and put to other
duty, such as operating machine guns,
etc. The popular idea OF an Officer
waving his sword while leading his men
no longer holds true to facts. In mod
ern warfare only second lieutenants
lead men, first lieutenants, captains
and field officers follow i'll rear OF the
advancing men, urging them on.
