"Oh, ho." grumbled the Bear.
&" Uncle Wiggily has been here; L
can tell by the rabbit smell on the
moss. And if he has been here he I'll
be sure to come back. Ill hide
down behind this log and wait for
him. When he comes I'll nibble his
ears
So the Bushy Bear stretched out
beside the log, and before he knew
it he was asleep-fast, fast asleep.
Then back came Curly and Floppy,
the piggie boys, with their long
straws. They looked over toward
the log and Floppy said:
"fSome one is asleep there again.
/ guess it must be Uncle Wiggily.
Let IS go up very softly and tickle
him. -
"All right agreed Curly. So
they crept up to the log, and hiding
on the far side, they reached over
with their long straws to tickle
And, of course, they tiekled the
Bushy Bear, for he it was asleep
there, and not Uncle Wiggily.
Tickle-ickle went the straws on
the Bears black nose.
Wowouchie! Ouchie! Zip y
cried the Bear. Up he jumped, rub
bing his nose with his paw. "Oh
kcr-choo, Ker-zoo. Ker,snitzium! ;
he sneezed. "Oh, must be catch.
ing cold! I'd better 90 back to my
den!" he growled, and away he
ran lumberingly.
"Oh, my goodnessl gasped Cur
ly when he and his brother saw the
Bear. "It s a good thing he didn 7
see us, isn't it!''
"Indeed it is, boysl" spoke I'm
cle Wiggily, coming along just then
"After this make sure who it is
you are tickling. !" And the piggi(
boys said they would. But, after
all, it is a good thing they tickled
the Bear else. the bad chap might
have nibbled the bunny's ears.

"LAW-NOT WAR"

The ninth anniversary of the outbreak of the
World War is approaching. Cities in SO states, all
over the country planning to make their observ-
ance of the day plea for the ending of all war.
Their slogan is ''Law-Not War"
Joining in such observances are organizations ad-
vocating specific programs such as the Permanent
Court of International Justice and the League of Ma
tions Offer and also other groups interested only in
the substitution of law for war; by whatever means
may be found workable and suitable.
Eighteen other nations will hold simultaneous
demonstrations against
This is fitting way to observe the anniversary of
the most terrible the world has seen. But
what will it all amount to- On given day hundreds
of organizations will unite in the expression of
preference for peace The day after their wide
spread celebrations they will be hundreds of dis
united groups with many separate formulas for
the establishment of peace
Or will they really work at peace they worked
to win the war?

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
TICKLERS

Once upon a time, as Uncle Wig
gily was sitting on the front porch
of his hollow stump bungalow with
Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, the
muskrat lady housekeeper laughed,
and said:
"There go the ticklers!'
q only see Curly and Floppy
Twistytail, the piggie boys" spoke
the rabbit gentleman.
"Well, they are the ticklers,
went on Nurse Jane, and she laugh
ed again. "They certainly are
ticklers. -
"What do you mean?' asked Mr..
Longears. Ticklers?"
"'Well, Curly and Floppy each
have long pieces of straw" ex-
planned Nurse Jane. "'And they go
about tickling any one they find
asleep. just now they crept up on
Uncle Buffers stoop, where the
goat gentleman was asleep, and
they tickled him so that he dreamed
he was turning somersaults in a
feather bed.
"Jolly little rascals-that's what
Curly and Floppy are" chuckled
Uncle Wiggily. "And just so they
won't tickle me, l m going to hop
to the woods and look for an. ad.
venture
SO Uncle Wiggily hoped to the
woods, and began to look about for
an adventure. But adventures were
scarce that day, and soon the rabbit
gentleman felt tired and sleepy.
"I'll lie down on the soft green
moss beside this log and go to
sleep" he said, gently twinkling

involved in nearly every branch of
the non-political activities Of the
League of Nations. American col
alteration with the league has de-
veloped to such a point that in some
branches members of the league leave
the initiative in important work to
Americans from the nOn-member
United States.
Should the United States become
n member of the international court
of justice, it is safe to say that the
nation would then be taking as great
part in the activities of the league
as it would were it to reverse its
policy and join the organization out
right.
1t is the settled policy of the
league always to seek American views
and to consult Washington before
starting any important line of work.
Thus the United States is drawn into
such close collaboration that even
without membership in the league it
gives able assistance 10 Europe and
lends its strength without becoming
involved in European entanglements.

QUA Voters Really Believe
There Is a Social Lobby

chewing upon something that may be

II am a farmer" was one OF his
first and most emphatic statements
When a man says that about him
self. he seems to say it with pugnac-
ious pride.
"Do the people of your state really
believe in that bug-a-boo, the social
lobby" / asked.
Certainly they do. They believe
every word that Senator Kenyon sam
about the social bloc in the Senate.
When Senator Kenyon made ms
famous remarks he did it with his
usual ironical brand of honor. HIS
phrasing would indicate that just
then he referred to legislation that
has flowed through the Senate upon
oceans of tea. But Iowans take 1t
as gospel. as literally as Bryan takes

lot of his "buddies" who think as he
does about this social lobby stuff.
They are ShipStcad of Minnesota
Frazier of North Dakota, and Howell
of Nebraska. They form the nucleus
of the new progressive bloc that is
forming under the leadership OF
LaFollette. Not long after their cleo

dinner at which dinner coats were

men at the dinner who wore evening
clothes. He hastily explained that the
reason for that was because his
"other suit was at the cleaners. "
Frazier who made one of the after
dinner speeches told of being vel
coined by Heating at the door just
before the dinner and he said: 81 was
afraid the social lobby had got me
already"
