UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
WIND WAGON.

Now don't be late for supper,
whatever happens, Uncle Wiggily"
called Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, the
muskrat lady housekeeper, as the
bunny rabbit gentleman hoped
away from his hollow stump bum
galow one morning. BE sure and
come back in time for supper, as
I'm not going to save any for you.
There's going to be hot biscuits and
honey, and you know they don't
keep"
They won't keep very long after
get home, either!" laughed the
rabbit uncle with a twinkle Of his
pink nose.
I'll eat so many hot biscuits
with sweet honey on that there will
be none to keep over for next day."
"Well, be sure to be here on
time them" warned the muskrat
lady, as she gave her tail a witch
to wipe some dust off the door sill
IN be back here to supper on
time if | have to run all the way
promised the bunny gentleman.
Then Nurse Jane went in the
bungalow to make the biscuits and
Uncle Wiggily topped along to find
an adventure.
Mr.. Longears had not hoped
very far, and he was wondering
what might happen, when, all at
once he heard behind a bush
voice saying:
Lets ask him! Maybe he'll
give us some!"
Dear met" thought the rabbit
uncle. Il wonGer if that's the

FOREIGN OPPOSITION.

1t Is reported that foreign transportation owners
are planning some sore Of counter-action to the
proposal contained in the Jones-Greene ship subsidy
bill which would insure the carriage by American
vessels of so per cent of the immigration to this
country. Just what this will be is not known but
one suggestion is that American flag ships operated
by an American company a subsidiary OF the
established foreign line will solve their difficulty.
Intense interest is being shown by these
foreign lines in the presidents message the mer
chant marine and the ship bill which was intro
duced soon after the message delivered, and
on which hearings have already commenced. EX
tcnsive extracts of the message have been cabled
abroad and there is a great demand the other
side for copies Of the bill. 1t would not be sur
prisng if an effort were staged by foreign compel
ing lines kill the measure, and already it is said
certain influences being brought to bear in
that direction.
Mr.. Gompers, who is British born, recently went
on record as condemning the measure His report
on the bill declares that the naval reserve section
provides for body of men who TO be used in
case of strikes or lockouts" However, there is not
line in the bill which, by the most strained con-
sructon could fairly be Interpreted in that manner
1t is expected that the ship subsidy bill will be
reported late in April very early in May and it
would seem that the measure has a very good
chance of If passed. it will be the rea2a-
ton of one Of President Harding's greatest ambi-
TONS that of putting the American flag back
the seas to stay.

VERSE OF TODAY
BREAK OF MORNING.

Sound the invisible trumps. In circuit vast
The passive earth like scene of dream is set.
The small birds fit and sing their dark hours past
And their green sojournings with dewdrops wet.
Brood on in sumbrous quiet in the air.
Sole in remote inane of vacant sky
Paling Arcturus sparkles wildly fair
Sound the Invisible trumps. The waters weep.
A stealing wind breathes in the meads, is gone.
Into their earthen burrows the wild things creep
to thinning cockcrow echoes on. .
Avert thine eyes sleep ridden face! Nor
Those seraph hosts that in divine array
Girde the mortal masked empryean:
Their soyran beauty is this break of day.
What wonder grief distorts thy burning eyes?
Turn to thy pillow again--in love and fear;
Not thine to the Son of Morning rise.
Walter de la Mare in the Yale Review

both city and state. The history Of the city is a
clear demonstration Of the facts that the "old
crowd does not show the right city spirit to really
build a great city here. Lack of vision and reac-
tiouary, clique-sprit holds the city back
Because the Journal feels that this grip must
he broken before can build great city, it felt
forced to take position against the old commits
sioners. We had everything to gain by supporting
them and much to lose in opposing them. our
moving motive in making decision was the COM
munity we-being
Messrs Walton, We'll and Tingley did not con-
suit with each other before becoming candidates.
They had no understanding then and have none
now except that they will mutually support each
other in this campaign. Each is free to follow his
judgment after his election The practical exigen-
cies Of the election led them to become ticket"
These men come from different groups of ciu-
zens. They have different viewpoints. They are
fairly representative of all citizens and the special
representatives OF none.
The Albuquerque spirit is composite thing. 1t
is the average state Of mind of all its citizens big
and little" For a commission to be fairly rep
rescnatye OF that spirit, it must be infected by
the state Of mind OF all the people. This is not
true Of the Triumyrate They see the city only as
select few view it.
Now is the time to democratize the official spirit
Of the city. 1t will pave the way for community
cooperation and expansion. The serious minded
citizen should support the Greater Albuquerque
ticket in full.

Fuzzy Fox or the Woozlo Wolf
going to ask me to give them some
nibbles off my ears? We'll, I'll not
give them any, that's sure"
Uncle Wiggily was just going TO
hop away when out of the bushes
came Jackie and Poetic Bow Wow,
the two puppy dog boys.
"Oh, hello, Jack and Peetie!"
cried the bunny, twinkling his pink
nose. 81 guess ] don't need TO run
away from you!"
Indeed, we hope not" barked
Jackie. We're glad to meet you.
Have you any old umbrella you
could let us take?" he went on. II
remember when you fixed your
good one up, ready for the April
showers, you had lots of pieces Of
umbrella left over. Could you give
US AN old one?"
why, yes Jackie; | suppose
there's an umbrella or two out at
my bungalow" said the bunny.
"Just run back and tell Nurse Jane

are, you going to do with an old
umbrella? 1t isn't raining-the
March wind is blowing too hard
for It to rain"

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
WHAT HAYS HAS TO DO.

philadelphia Public Ledger.)
When a gets big salary for doing anything
him do it all. VIII Hays has undertaken to purify
certain Augean stable areas in the motion picture
field; and with all the dynamic energy he brings
to his remunerative task he cannot do it alone He
must have the aid of the nabobs of the business
The rajahs and maharajahs must do their part to
sustain his supreme government.
Hays tells Raymond Carroll that he prefers to
be called the "stabilizer' of the industry The
very connotes the task Of soap and broom
the holystoning of Hollywood, the country wide
effort of sanitation and salubrity. that shall make
the dirt fly and permit healthful ozone to breeze
in and disspate no&ious maarial atmosphere.
The new director general is guarded in the little
he says about the censorship. He knows he will
have his own battle with the type Of men now
justly cXCOriated by right-minded people for vicious
plays that pandcr to the lowest tastes in the spoken
drama. 1t is all very well to say that the public
is the judge, the competent court of last resort.
But the public this season-as in other seasons-has
flocked to some very unwholesome things and
has withheld disheartingly its patronage from plays
that were innocent of offense and still not wanting
in the punch" for which managers and editors al
ways are clamoring without always knowing just
what they mean by it,
What Hays with and to the moving pic
lures is of interest to everybody who goes to see
them-and that means to millions of people. When
every possible accusation has been hurled at the
at them out. the fact remains that they
boon to many who cannot afford hgh-prced dra-
matte entertainment. The full possibilities are inn
perfectly realized; but ii is not easy to say where
those possibilities leave off The passing days
bring striking manifestations of the enormous
value of the screen in the work of church and
school The time is long past when 1t is possible
to rule out from American life such a useful
auxiliary to education. The last quarter of CEN
fury has more impressive exhibit Of inventive
development to offer than the evolution of the
motion picture the art of which is still In its ado
osccnt the way to unpredictabe accomp-
lshments in its maturcd futurity.

make a wind wagon we just sit in
this one, hold on an open umbrella
and the wind blows us along as
nicely as you please, That's a wind
wagon"
II Sect laughed the bunny.
We'll, get one OF my old umbrellas
and make yourselves a wind wagon,
and | hope you have lots of fun.
AS for me, | must hop along tO look
for an adventure"
The doggie boys thanked the
bunny and ran back with their eX-
Uncle Wiggily hoped along over
the fields and he was just going
through the woods, when, all of a
sudden, he felt himself caught by
one leg.
"Oh, dear! The Fox has me"
cried the bunny, but he heard the
barking of no Fox.
That it must be the Woozie
Wolff" said the rabbit. But he
heard no growing of the Wolf.
Then, looking down at his leg, I'M
Gle Wiggily saw that it was caught
in tangle of wild grape vines.
"Oh. no! I'm all right" laughed
the bunny. I'm caught, as if in
trap, but l can gnaw my way out
easily enough. I'll gnaw through
the grape vine.
But this was not as easy as he
had thought it would be, and it took
him a long time, so that when he
was free it was nearly dark.
ooh, my goodness mel" cried the
bunny. "pll be late for supper,
and all the hot biscuits and honey
win be gone! / must hop. | must
rum" So he hoped and ran, but
he was a long way from his bun
galow, and he knew he could
hardly be in time for supper.
"Oh. dear! What shall l do?"
cried Uncle Wiggily.
"Do? Why ride with us, to be
sure" cried some jolly voices.
There was a rattle and swish, and
along came Jackie and Peetie in
their wind wagon. They sat in
their little express cart, holding
open in front of them an old UNI
brella. The wind blew on the UNI
brella as on a sail, and the wagon
skinned along like an ice boat.
while Peetie steered. Jump in
and we'll soon ride you home in our
wind wagon!" barked Peetie.
In jumped the bunny. Jackie
putting the umbrella down for a
moment to stop the wagon. Then
the umbrella sail was hoisted again
and along went all three, faster and
faster.
MY! 7 never rode so swiftly.in
all my life!" cried Uncle Wiggily,
holding his hat down over his ears.
He went so fast the twinkle way
nearly blown off his pink nose. But
he reached his hollow stump bun
galow just as Nurse Jane was put
ting on the table the hot biscuits
and honey. And Jackie and Peetie
were invited to have some.
So this teaches us that wind
wagons are very useful, and if the
feather buster doesn't go flying up
in the air to tickle the man in the
moon. I'll tell you next about In
Gle Wiggily and the two jugs.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

Chicago, March 29.-Predictions
OF a big yield in Kansas this sea-
son had a bearish effect on the
wheat market today. Closing prices
were unsettled. sc to sc net

and July Sill to $1.1S. Corn fin

oats at q shade decline to &c adj
vance and provisions varying from
unchanged figures to setback Of

Downturns in the price came
chiefly near the end Of the day and
after q former president of the
Kansas state board of agriculture
was quoted as saying the Kansas
wheat crop was entering the grow
ing season with a prospect of a
greater production than at any
time in the history of the state.
No more than per cent OF the
acreage would he abandoned. 1t

Although bulls had the advant-

SIDNEY NJ. WE'LL
CLYDE TINGLEY

Did they put in the system?
No; that was done by Mayor Sellers predecessor.
Did they put in the ornamental lights?
No; that done by Colonel Sellers.
Did they start the paving program?

Did they start the system of street improve
ments?
No; that was done by clyde Tingley.
Did they cause the water company to sell to the
city?
No that done by Clyde Tngley.
Did they put in or assist to have put in any one
of the new parks?
No that was done by private citizens with Mr..
Walton and Judge Mcclellan as the two principal
leaders
Did they make Gausha chief OF police?
No; that the work OF Clyde Tingley.
Did they bring about the promotion of the new

commissioners refused to remit the fee of one hun
bred dollars for the building permit, Well
started Central avenue building
Did they aid in the promotion of the Y. NJ. C. A
building?
No; that was the work of r. E. Putney.
Think it over, Mr., Mrs and Miss Voter and

for Albuquerque in the past four years.
What?
Wei, for one thing, they have increased your
taxes by nearly one hundred thousand dollars a
year
They have placed five employees in the water
offices where the work done before by
three: that is of the that cheaper water
cannot be had for your lawns
They saved the city 500 by refusing to remit
the new hotel building permit fee.
They have placed fagman at the Tjeras rail-
road crossing.
They have protested against increase Of tele-
phone rates
What else have they done in four years?
Think over what Sellers able to do in two
years.
Think what Tingley was able to do in two
years alderman.
Think over what Walton did for the parks as a
private citizen
Then think all you cam think so hard that you
will get headache and tell US what the city COM
mmissioners have done for Albuquerque in four
years?
After you have thought until your head aches,
take rest and then think more.
Then tell us, and the journal will print it,
