@We're going TO have party
We're going to have a party" cried
all the little Pee Wee people.
And they were so delighted about
it that they rushed madly here and
there as though they had lost their
wits. They tackled up flags and
stacked cat-tails up in corners and
hung out paper lanterns. and really
Pee Wee Land looked like the Fourth
of July, or Fair Week, or a Church
Social, or something like that.
All the Pee Wees were at hone
and nobody had been reported miss
ing for a week.
Nancy and Nick would have gone
home. only they had been invited 70
stay for the party.
Il do hope the bugs will stay
away" said King SnOokums, when
he had changed his everyday clothes
of purple velvet to his party suit Of
gold and silver. and his everyday
crown Of little diamonds TO his bestcSt
crown of great big diamonds
"Just as sure as those pesky light
ming bugs and their friends come polk
ing along, some of my subjects will
take a notion to jump on them and
ride off and we'll never find them"
he complained.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-08-22

But the bugs didn't come and The
party was a grand success. The
Twins danced with the Pee Wees by
the light of the moon when all other
little folk were in bed sound asleep
Suddenly there was dreadful
sound. 1t went "Hoot, Hoot Hoot ;"
And all the Pee Wees stopped dane
ing and ran under stones and leaves
to hide. "Oh save us Save u.s." they
cried, somebody"
Oscar Owl blinked and then he wink
ed. If l can't get mouse I'll have
TO eat Pee Wees" he remarked. snap
ping his bill and looking around
sharply. I'm hungry"
Then suddenly Nancy and Nick
saw a strange thing happen.
All the lightning bugs and June
bugs and other bugs that hadn't been
asked to the party came trooping
along.
Jump on us they cried, ranl
we'll save you"
And the Pee Wees jumped on and
so did the Twins. and soon Pee Wee
Land was as empty rs a drum. And
Oscar Owl went home hungry.

Opportunity is here for the live ones. An
entirely new candidate, in any district, who is
acquainted with "OpportAhity'' and can put
this factor to work for him has a real chance
right now.
Any candidate who spends his or her time
running around asking other candidates how
they are getting on is getting no where.
Don't imagine your competitor is going to tip
you off to all he or she knows-at least not
II he or she is at all big tine" You are al
most certain to get a "bum steer"
Remember you can get business ANY
WHERE. Outside candidates are welcome to
as if some are looking for greener pastures
afar when right at home their next door
neighbor is waiting for them to call.
Miss Leila Logan of Greybull has again
entered the race, realizing that the wonderful
opportunity of winning a car for her very
own was too good to pass by. Now that she
is really in the race to win: those who have
entered in this district will find that they
have an exceptionally strong contender. Her
many friends in and around Greybull are
boosting strong for her.
Although the vote score of Glen E. Turner
of Parkerton has not shown an increase since
her recent entry in the race, it is no criterion
that she is not in this race to win. Miss Tur-
ner has the backing of many loyal friends
and the next few days will show a material
change in her vote standing.

entire Lander community.
Mrs. Adelaid Elliott of Mills continues to
work with a will, never losing a single OPP
portunity to enhance her vote total. Mrs.
Elliott is one of the most active of campaign

Your ultimate success depends to a very
large extent upon what you do during these
big vote days-from now to April 2-these
next two weeks. Real sincere, hard work will
accomplish more for you now than ever again.
All the regrets in the world won't make up

Truly those running in the first division in
