UNCLE WIGGILY'S BAKED
BEANS

Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy was
looking down inside the molasses
Jug. 1t was the same jug out of
which Uncle Wiggily, the day be-
fore, had smeared himself with
sticky stuff and scattered chickens
feathers on to fool the Bob Cat.
"What arc you looking for, Nurse
Jane 20 asked the bunny gentleman.
(" Are you afraid some feathers are
down in the molasscs?'
"Oh no. answered Miss Fuzzy
Wuzzy. Il was just looking to see
if there was enough molasseS left
| to put in the baked beans.
~ never knew that you put mo-
asscs in baked bcans,' said Uncle
Wiggily.
ooh, yes, indeed!' said Nurse
Jane. . Baked beans wouldn't be
right without molasses. But | think
there is enough. l didn't use ii all
for u cake.
"Of course, used some to make
the chicken feathers stick on me, -

thought of hcw he had fooled the
Bob Cat. But if there isn't enough

"Thcrc will be plenty" said the
muskrat lady housekcepcr. And she
was just going to get the beans

Uncle Wiggily. "We must always

"But what about the baked
beans?o asked Nurse Jane.
"They will do when you get
back" said Uncle Wiggily. But
when Nurse Jane had gone over to
help Mrs. Wibblewobble, the bunny
rabbit thought to himself: "I'll
give Nurse Jane a joyful surprise.
I'll bake the beans myself. There
is molasses enough, she said, and

Yes, I'll bake them myself"
Uncle Wiggily got the dried
beans from the pantry. lie put Il
big pan of them in the oven, just
as they were and poured some mo-
lasses over them. Then he put the
pan of dried beans in the hot oven
of the stove, and sat down to wait
for them to bake.
Soon queer smell filled the
Kitchen.
"That must be tho molasses

COMPETING FARMERS

Farmers are learning rapidly to cooperate with
each other in selling their products. There are now
18COO cooperative selling organizations in this coun-
try But with their increase comes new evil, which
is really only form Of the old devil.
The trouble now, says President Bradfutc Of the
American Farm Bureau Federation, IS that these or
ganzations which formed to eliminate competi-
tion among the individual farmers now coming in
TO wasteful competition with each other
That however, will remedy itself in time in agri-
culture ii has in the steel and oil and railroad in
dustries and is beginning to do in the automobile indus
try. The tendency, in modern society, Is toward
larger and larger organizations.
Sooner later, it may become necessary to assert
public control oyer farm combinations to prevent too
much cooperation for purely selfish purposes. But
that time is still far distant.

PACKED HOUSE AT

Mrs. Rodgers Fashion Pageant Wins
\, / Approval of Large Audience
At Liberty

The best show ever. This, apparent
ly was the verdict of the people who
packed the Liberty Theatre Monday
night when Mrs. d. G. Rogers staged
her semi-annual Style Show. Femin-
ity was not alone in applauding the
showing Of the new fall styles but
mere man, both young and old, was
present to contribute his word of
praise. In fact so popular has been
these fashion pageants of Mrs. Rod
gers that the Liberty is too small to
accommodate all who wish to attend.
Scores of people were turned from
the theatre doors Monday evening
after all available standing room had
been taken. ,3
'ct The stage setting, arranged by Mil
ton Hooper, was beautiful and artis-
tic and provided an excellent back
ground for the parade of the models.
As usual Mrs. Rodgers selected her
models from all sections of the valley
and the pretty girls were as greatly
admired as were the pretty frocks.

This Is the name given to signal
Ing device to prevent collisions at sea.
Part Of It consists of a siren that by
means Of high-pressure steam will pro
duce powerful air waves with the low
frequency Of fourteen or fifteen vibra-
lions second. It is contended that
these waves, although too low for
the human ear to hear, have a great
penetrating power. When they are
interrupted by some object, such as
ship. cliff or an iceberg they are,
It Is said, reflected or echoed back to
q special receiving apparatus on the
deck Of the vessel.
Since this receiver Is fitted with m
ingenious apparatus for registering the
strength Of the reflected vibrations, It
may be possible to learn the distance
and even the nature of the object that
has intercepted the sound waves. The
siren is designed to be mounted on
deck so that at night or in q fog,
when the presence Of icebergs or of
other ships is suspected, 1t can be
turned In various directions to explore
the sea ahead Of the ship. The ap-
paratus Is said to be still In IN eK-

record il to sacrifice on each trip
to the plate.
That sounds rather easy, yet
when the opposition relies that is
the play you intend to make, it is
far from soft proposition for the
batsman to successfully advance a
base runner on five consecutive
trips to the plate.
That was Wade Killefer's por-
ton back in Washington on Aug.
q. 1910. A double header was
scheduled between Washington and
Detroit.
In the first game, Killefer made
four trips to the plate. Each time
there was a runner on first base
and no one out. The closeness OF
the score made it imperative that
killefer hunt, since Washington
was plying for one run.
In every one of his four times to
the plate in the first game, Killefer
hunted perfectly down the third
base line. He was retired at first
every time on close plays, the run
ned advancing to second.
The first time he came to the bat
in the second game the situation
was the samoa hummer on first
and no one out. Again Killefer
hunted perfectly, advancing the
runner to second and being retired
on a close play. 2

Hoppe for the 1872 balkline billiard
title. a,H ss
Recently Schaefer met Roger
Cont, the French champion, for the
right to play Hoppe. schaefer won
in a decisive manner.
1t was Schaefer who dethroneI
Hoppe after Willie has held the title
for SO many years that it was al
most regarded las his permanent
property. N ~
When Hoppe was finally beaten it
was predicted that as champion he
was through-that the double defeat
handed him by Schaefer would break
his morale.
Hoppe disproYed such an .opinio !,
by winning back the title in less
than year. He>hopes to retain pos

coming match with Schaefer he mod
estly says: -
