UNCLE wIGGIIy's ICE CREAM

Once upon a time, as Uncle Wig
gily was hopping along the path
! through the forest that led to the
little village of Woodland. the rab-
! hit gentleman saw Jackie and
Peetie Bow Wow, the puppy dog
chaps. They were just ahead of him
running as fast as their little legs
would take them.
"Why are YOU in such Il hurry,
Jackie and Pcetie?' asked the bun
ny rabbit.
Jackie and Peetie stopped, turned
around, wagged their tails and then
they barked:
"'Bow wow!'
"'Bow wow!'
"Where are you going in such Il
hurry asked Uncle Wiggily
again.
1--WE are going down to the store
to get there before all the ice cream
cones melt answered Jackie. "It
is such a hot day they may all melt
before we get there
But 1 tell him it doesn t do any
good to hurry whined Peetie.
"Cause we haven't any five cent
pieces with which to buy ice cream
cones. So what S the good'
"Well, maybe someDOuy -,
give us five cents when we get
there, suggested Jackie. "Come
on, Peetie! Hurry before the ice

"Oh, what s the good?" sighed
Peetie.
Then Uncle Wiggily smiled. And

Big Reception Is Given
Local Legion Men at
Luncheon

Members of the Los Angeles 'Ro-
tary Club gave Harry Foster and
John Keplcy rousing reception at
their noon luncheon Friday, when.
the FL Centre men talked to them
On Boulder Canyon Dam and the
All-Amcrican canal according to
letter received from Foster.
The luncheon, held in the Alex
andria Hotel, was attended by many
jof the ltlding business men of
Los Angeles, and they showed their
interest in the message the valley
Lcgionaircs brought to them by
asking numerous questions at the
conclusion of their talks. The local
boys are fully prepared for any
questions that may be asked them,
and gave the Los Angeles men all
the information they required.
Friday night S meeting at Glen
dale, where the local boys address
ed the American Legion post, was
another success. Foster advises
that the Legionaires in that city
are strong supporters Of the Swing
johnson bill.
Foster and Kepley left for
Bakersfield yesterday morning and
will address the Legion posts in
that city tonight. In the letter,
Foster writes they are becoming
regular "spcll-binders" and once
they get going on their subject it
is hard for them to stop. They
are getting plenty of experience,

able to pick up some shekels in the
next political campaign here, cam

TEMPORARY WHITE HOUSE,
WASHINGTON, Aug. Wash
ington awoke today to one of the
saddest dawns in the history of the
Republic-dawn of the day that
will see the mortal shell of Presi-
dent Warren G. Harding borne
through the streets TO the White
House in preparation for his state
funeral tomorrow.
In the heat Of the humid day $50
cavalry men clattered over the
bridge from Fort Myer. The hoofs
of the horses beat a dirge on the
street. Square chinned soldiers sat
like waXen figures upon the boxes
in the military wagons following.
The troopers will meet the Presi-
dent s remains and carry them in
solemn parade to his last home, the
White House; there TO lie in the
candle light of the old East room.
Coolidge Up Early
Calvin Coolidge, the new chief
executive stirred early in his suite
in the improvised White House on
the third floor of the Willard hotel.
The cars were ready to take him
to the station; there to meet Mrs
Harding, the widow of his chief, to
escort her back to the White House
there TO see the flag draped casket
which holds the mortal symbol OF
his President and friend.
Supreme court jurists, cabinet
members, senators and high of
ficials of state, many of them Sc
lected by Mr.. Harding and all OF
them his friends, clothed themselves
in official mourning clothes.
This evening they will ride il
big black limousines down to thr
station. The business of Washing
ton is closed for three days and 4;
half at noon today. All the Off
cial buildings close their doors. II
the Capitol building men hurried
about making ready the rotunda fol

"Oh, goodie!" cried Peetie.
"See, l told you some one would
give US five cents!" barked Jackie
and he wagged his tail SO hard that
he nearly wagged it off.
Then the doggie boys went with
Uncle Wiggily to the place where
a dear, jolly old monkey gentleman
sold ice cream cones from red
wagon with blue wheels.
"Three of your very largest,
coolest ice cream cones!" ordered
Uncle Wiggily, stopping at the red
wagon with blue wheels.
Jackie and Poetic sat up on their
hind legs and their red tongue loll-
ed out of their mouths.
~ have some very fine ice cream
cones, made especially large for
hungry dOggie boys" said the
monkey gentleman, "and you shall
also have one, Uncle Wiggily.'
So the monkey gentleman filled
three Of the sugar wafer cones with
ice cream from can, and Jackie
and Peetie began eating the frozen
cream from the large top parts of
their cones.
But Uncle Wiggilv seemed to be
having trouble. At first Jackie and
Peetie did not pay much attention
TO him, but at last the monkey gen
| tleman said:
'Why are you trying to stand on
your head, Uncle Wiggily'"
And truly, that seemed what the
rabbit gentleman was doing. He
was leaning over with his head
turned up and holding the ice cream
cone in one paw he appeared to be
trying to look through the pointed
end of it.
What s the matter, Uncle Wig
gily:" asked Jackie.
"Why, L can't seem to get any
cream out of my cone" answered
Mr.. LOngears. "The cone is full OF
cream-L saw the monkey gentle
man put it in. But l can't get any
out. There doesn't seem to be any
hole in this little pointed end" "
Then you should have heart
Jackie and Peetie laugh.
OF course, there isn't any hol,
in the pointed end of your cone!'
barked Jackie. "You're supposed tt
eat it from the big end-the top
you know-not the bottom"
comp chuckled Uncle Wiggily
''No wonder L couldn't get AM

from the top Of the cone and every
thing was all right.
But, just as the bunny and tn

cones the Fuzzy Fox sprang out 0

OUR HEREDITARY FOE

When one thinks how deeply mosqu- toes have affected human progress and al- tered the destiny of cities and of nations, the present concern in Birmingham regard ing this pest is more vital than appears on the surface. Mosquitoes and malaria have been conquering mankind and putting whole populations to death or to rout for so many years that they are really entitled to victory, unless mankind immediately turns it's intel ligence to the battle. The path of history is strewn with the ruins of once proud civil izations of the past that have fallen before the onslaught of disease, too often of ma laria. Indeed, it is held by many that Rome fell because of the weakening of the people by the miasmas in her swamps which bred the mosquitoes in countless ravaging hordes.
 More than that, the white man has been driven from the tropics where once he flour ished because in those early days he had not learned the source of the illnesses and plaques which came upon him through the instrumentality of the insect world, especially the mosquito, and weakened him so that he died. or was driven out by stronger tribes

TRADE COMMISSION ON COTTON

The principal conclusion reached by the federal trade commission with regard to the rise and fall of cotton prices since 1913, according to a preliminary report just sub niitted, is that cotton has been subject to the same law of supply and demand as other products. The commission seems inclined to believe that the system of trading in futures on the exchanges has a tendency to hold down prices for spot cotton, saying: "Ef- feet of these options on the part of the seller (who is permitted delivery of any one more of the ten grades) is generally to make the future price lower than It would probably be if corresponding buy CTS option was used instead" It is evident, however, that the commission, while sensing some power of the speculative dealings on the exchange to affect cotton prices, has found that cotton is no different from other commodities in the fluctuations of prices and other factors with which all com modities must contend in the marketing process.
 Cotton advanced 227 per cent. over the 1913 price during the price boom period and it fell thirteen per cent. below that level in the period of depression. Its rise and fall was in close keeping with that of pig iron and steel. The commission declares that cotton suffered from the Buyers Strike" as did other products The body is evidently unable to fix in its own mind the extent of the power to depress spot prices that dealing in futures may exercise.
 The commission has come to about the same conclusions as would any intelligent observer. The price paid for cotton rests more with the system of marketing than with all other agencies. If the producer cannot protect himself none others will. If he does not go to market as a business man he will not fare as the business man does. The producer must realize that cotton .s subject to all the trade laws and that ar bitrary prices cannot be demanded nor se-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-03-06

cured. He can, however, so produce and so market that cotton that it will command the full benefit of rising markets as it endures the impact of falling prices. The cooperative marketing associations are serv- ing at the marketing end by preserving the outflow of cotton and preventing dump ing of the product. At the other end the producer is studying and beginnlng to ex- ercise the laws of economies in use of acreage. It makes comparatively little diff ference to the farmer that the volume of cotton future trading is fifteen and a half times the size of the cotton yield, provided the actual cotton is protected from these spectators. He must know the cost of pro- duction, and demand that as the price basis. It was happy day when the southern pro- ducer turned his eyes from the antics of the exchange and focused them on his own powers of controlling his own product.
