Now, let me see. Did the little
rabbit catch the giant mouse in the
last story? OF course. but not until
that giant mouse had eaten the
Moon cheese.
Don't squeak so loud" said the
bunny boy. I'm not going to hurt
you. But l shall hand you over to
the giant whose cheese and crackers
you have stolen"
AS the little rabbit opened the din
ing room door, the giant who was
smoking a pipe as big as pail
with a stem as large as a pump
handle, shouted:
"Ha. ha, have you caught the
theft"
Here he is" answered Little Jack
Rabbit. opening his knapsack just
a crack.
What! Is this the mouse who's
been eating my cheese by the TOM"
asked the giant, peeping into the
bunny boys knapsack. you've
made a dreadful mistake"
"Of course, it is" replied the little
bunny boy. Il gave him Moon cheese.

WANTS MORE ARRESTS

\One doesn't risk popularity with
the general public to advocate rigid
investigation Of the alleged Veteran
Bureau crookcdness and fearless
placing Of the blame on responsible
parties. The light that so far has
been let in on the transactions su!g-
gests possibilities OF iniquity calcul-
atcd to bring the blush Of shame to
people who would have the disabled
veterans receive the full benefit of
the provisions which the country
gladly made in their behalf.
In view Of this william Washing

gress from the 18th Georgia District.
risked nothing In demanding on the
floor Of the House to know why
proceedings had not been brought
against the concern which purchased
the supplies at Perryville, concern
Ing which crookedness is charged.
Larsen Is reported to have said:
"They ought to be arrested. Yes
and ] am satisfied Of one thing and
that Is that IL you arrest them and
get them to talking you will find out
that here is somebody else IN his
country that Is crooked as Forbes.
and you will find out that he Is a big
man too"
Larsen Is a lawyer by profession
and has been Judge of superior
courts In his State and Is now serv-
ing in his fifth Congress. II he had
the responsibility of prosecuting the

quite different. We believe the pub

Editorial Comment
Not That Kind of Bird
fRiddaf0rd I0,lrnnn

A reader of the Journal submits
the following as evidence that the
limerick makers are doing their bit
in this as in every previous emer-
gency:
There's a queer klucking bird called
the kleagle.
She mothers all she can inveigle,
But give you my word,
She isn't the bird
That Matched out the American eagle.

General Dawes has the knack of
seeing the thing to be done and of
compelling others to see 1t. He sees
that common-sense must be crowned
king over the deliberations respecting
German reparations. 1t was common
sense that forced France into the
RuhN and lack off common sense
which induced Germany to invite it.
1t is common sense that convinces the
world Germany must be put upon her
feet before she can be made to walk.
Putting her on her feet, however. will
do no good If she hasn't any desire
to walk. J is encouraging to note
signs that she at least has such a
desire. If she is willing to listen to
the truth 1t appears General Dawes
is well fitted to tell 1t. Furthermore,
1t Is quite clear it may improve the
minds of the Allies to listen in

Ma. ne GOSSIP
In My Little Town

In my little town the street was
long.
And narrow. and still and slow.
And on either side the grass grew
green
And the arching trees bent low;
And the summer dust was soft and
warm
To a boys feet bare and brown.
The days were long with their sunlit
CLEANS
And no one hurried-(or so it seems).
Twas a perfect place for dreaming
dreams!
Was 1t so in your little town?
In my little town well-worn path
Led up to each neighbours door.
And for veal or woe that we CHANGED
to bring
There were kindly words in store.
I have learned to hide my joys and
From the worlds cold stare and
frown.
But I sometimes long for the friends
And the sympathy ready. and warm.
In the town where the skies seemed a
bit more blue!
Was it so in your little town?
In my little town the church-bells
rang
On the peaceful Sabbath day.
And the little white church swung
wide her doors
At the Catl to meet and pray.
I've worshippcd in temples quite
famed and grand
As I've wandered up and down:
I've listened to crecds both high and
low
But all the religion seem to know
The little. white church taught long
Was It so in your little town?

Jesse Lee Home Be Removed to Seldoyia
 If Plans Turn Out

The Methodist Episcopal church is said to be planning to remove the Jesse Lee Hom eat Unalaska to the vicinity of Seldovia, if the plans of prominent church officials are com pleted. It is stated that the bishop in charge of affairs will arrive in Seward soon to look over the situa- ton, and that following his decision. removal will start at once. The Jesse Lee Home is an institution designed to educate and care for native boys and girls, and for many years has been doing much good work along these lines.
 It is desired to remove the Home to tract of land near Seldovia where dairy herd can be maintained, and more work secured for the boys. It's removal will save the church about S10,000 per year and give a better understanding of agriculture and dairying to the orphans.
 The personnel of the Home staff together with the children, will add greatly to the population of Seldovia, in case removal is made.

NOVEL METHOD TRAPPING
 RABBITS BY INDIANS

The Indians along the Richardson highway adopted novel method of catching rabbits during the recent cold spell this winter. A candle was obtained and placed upright in the snow. The light attracted the rabbits by thousands, and the little animals squatted close to the light, gazing at it steadily. Soon their eyes begin to water and the tears running down in a stream freezes them fast to the snow, after which they are easily captured and knocked in the head. It is said that an order for tear gas has been turned in by the most pro- gressive of the natives.
