UNCLE WIGGILY'S ELECTRIC
BELL

/ "Some one is at the door, Nurse
! Jane! = called Uncle Wiggilv, soon
2ftcr he reached his hollow stump
j bungalow, coming home from an
adventure trip one day. 'There
! goes the electric bell. -
But the muskrat lady housekecp.
er sat still in her chair, knitting
buttonhole on one of Uncle Wig
gilys socks.
"Arcn t you going to the door?''
asked the rabbit gentleman, as the
aiectr'" bell rang still more loud
/ ly. " Aren't you going, Nurse
yane2'
"There is no use, answered Miss
| Fuzzy Wuzzy, as she sewed to-
gether two of Uncle Wiggily s old
necktes to make l. pal rof shoe laces
for the rag doll.
"Whv not - asked Mr.. Long
ears. "Why don't you go to the
door when the bell rings? That is,
unless You re afraid and want me
to go?' he asked, more boldly. eff
YOU do
ooh, not at all!' laughed. Nurse
Jane. 1.-The Iact of the matter is,
Uncle Wiggily, that there isn't any
one It the door. y
But l hear the bell ringing!''

eyes, | heard it, said Nurse
Jane with smile. "But it has
been ringing like that all day, and
whenever | go to the door no one
is there. So IN tired of going.
"If the bel: rings, and there is
no one there, 1t must be some of
the animal boys playing tricks, -
declared Uncle Wiggily. 81 II catch
the little r"scals!" and he started
for the door, while the electric bell
still rang.
"Don t trouble yourself,' laugh
cd the muskrat lady housekeeper.
81, also, thought it was some of
the boys, but when | slipped quiet
" to the door and looked out, no
one was there, but the bell still
rang. 1t must be an invisible fai-
ry.
"Nonsense! laughed Uncle Wig
gily. "It's just something the
matter with tie bell-that S all.
III fix it,
So the bunny rabbit gentleman
looked at the push button on the
front door. To make the electric
bell ring this button must be
pushed. And when Uncle Wiggily
put on his glasses and looked at the
front door button, he saw what the
trouble was.
"somcone, he said, "ahd i, it
must have been one of the animal
boys, has stuck pin in the push
button. This is just the same as if
they stood there all the while and
kept pushing on the button. No
wonder the bail rang all the while,

Every One Must
Help Clean Up
Continued from page IL

els or pitch forks are requested to
/ bring them along as they will be
needed to load the trucks with the
accumulated rubbish. The trucks
will be furnished by various con
Germs in the city.
Cooperation of All is Needed
The idea that the cleanup work
is to be done by the firemen and
boy scouts is erroneous. What the
committee wants is plenty of men.
The boys and the firemeu will do
their part, but workers will be
wanted and it is suggested that
local fraternal organizations, the
Rotary Club. American Legion and
others detail as many of their
members as possible to assist in the
cleanup campaign. This will be
fine chance for many of our profes
sional and business men to swing
shovel and find out if they are as
young as they like to make believe
they are. The 'mopping up trip
will not take more than Il couple of
hours and there is not one man in
FL Ccntro who cannot spare this
amount of time to help make Ell
Centre cleaner and better city in
which to live.
1t was suggested at last nights
meeting that the women of the Ten
Thousand Club take the lead in in
ducing the women of the city to CO.
operate in the work. The assistance
of the housewife is of paramount
importance to the. success of the
campaign. They ii is who are more
familiar with the defects about the
home which might be causes for
fire and their keen eyes will spot
rubbish long before a man s. Also
they can make the men take cog
nizance of the fact that there is a
cleanup campaign on, and induce
them to pitch in and lend hand.
To Give Prizes to School Girls
In order that the school girls may
also become interested in the cam
paign, prizes will be offered for the
best composition on "What | did i'll
my own home to make the cleanup
campaign success. -
Divisions of the city so that the pu
pills of each school may have a
chance at the prize, and the amount
of the prizes are in the hands of a
committee composed of Albert Dur
ham and \. P. Shibley. While no
prize is offered to the boys, they
will have the satisfaction of know
ing they can get out and work with
the men and undoubtedly beat them
at il.
Proof of the dodger which Albert
Durham has written for distribu
ton by the Boy Scouts was approv
ed at last night s meeting and will
be distributed this week. The dodger
is in the form of a personal mes
sage to every resident of Ell Centre
and should prove effective in induc-
ing citizens to do their duty and
lend the cleanup campaign every
assistance.
The committee in charge of this
campaign is entering into the affair
whole -heartedly and sincerely, with
the determination to make it Il sue
cess. All they ask is the moral and
physical support of their fellow cit
izens by turning out i'll force and
giving little time and effort to
put our city in condition that will
not cause adverse comment from
strangers.
