Christmas time. l heard them talk
ing today. They were talking of their
Christmas presents, one of them
brought forth a box in which were
all sorts of goodies"
The little Mice looked very much
excited, but their Mother looked at
them to let them know that their
Daddy must finish his talk first.
1t was hard to keep quiet, but they
managed it while Mr.. Mouse con-
tinued:
ooh, yes, in the box there was pop
corn, and some sailed nuts and some
sweetmeats, and they had the rude
ness to talk about it before me-"
The little Mice felt like saying that
their Daddy was talking about it be
fore them, and though they knew they
would get some, it was hard to wait.
"They were talking of Christmas
stories and of Christmas shopping, and
Of everything about Christmas, and
finally the one who had the box of
goodies said to the other:
"'You must have some of the nice

late a platform which is different
from the usual stereotyped planks
which are adopted to catch the voter
and are not expected to be binding
after election. Just two broad
planks should be embodied in the
platform. One covering a plan of
action in our foreign relations and
one for our home affairs. A two
plank platform would certainly be
an inspiration"
A study of the political situation
in the Northwest by an editor who
has been prominent in Republican
circles for years brought the con-
clusion that the party should de-
clare for agricultural relief through
federal aid to farmers c~o-operatives
and a higher protective tariff where
needed. If Congress fails to pass
the McNary-Haugen bill the party
platform should give definite assur-
ance to the farmers that a federal
grain export corporation or some
similar agency will be provided TO
take care of a crop surplus. Con-
gress should keep faith with the Am
erican farmers before it adjourns.
If it fails to do this, a third party
ticket would be acceptable in the
agricultural states" This Republl-
can editor said that a poll of humid
reds of editors in the Northwest
showed sentiment in favor of reduc-
ton in taxes and public expenditures
This viewpoint was general with the
delegates at the National Editorial
Association Convention, Democrats
joining with Republicans in their
demand for lower taxes.
Many Republican editors favored
participation in the World Court

CHRISTMAS FOR MICE

Mr.. Maurice Mouse was as excited
as he could be. He wiggled his wills
kers and he squealed and he said:
Come, Mrs. Mouse and all the little
Mice, for we're TO have a Christmas
party"
"a Christmas party" repeated Mrs.
Mouse. Dear Mr.. Mouse, how sweet
and ~extravagant of you"
Dear, generous Daddy" said the
little Mice.
Come, come, make not too much
noise" said Mr.. Mouse, n he led the
way.
They went through the different
rooms of the building where there was
a great deal of machinery and the
little Mice said:
Daddy, what is here besides ma
chinery? They don't keep food in
their machines, do they?"
Flush, Daddy will show you in just
q moment" he said.
So they all kept very quiet and on
they hurried after him.
II hope we will get there soon"
said Mrs. Mouse. 81 am quite out Of
breath hurrying. 1 am not as young
as 1 used to be-"
Nonsense, nonsense" said Mr..
Mouse. You're still the sweet, charm
ing young mouse with whom l fell in
love-it seems but a few hours ago.
Mrs. Mouse grinned a beautiful grin
and said:
"Ah, I'm a lucky mouse to be so
loved by my mate. And his love is
a love worth having. It's an IN
selfish love and not as the love of a
cat would be. A cat would love me

One of the children started to cry
at the word "cat," but soon quoted
and after that short stop they went
on again.
At last they reached 8 room where
we're desks and tables and many pa
pers.
"This doesn't look like a banquet
room, Daddy" said little Maurice
Mouse, Jr., but maybe it is, maybe it
is"
"Of course it is" said Mrs. Mouse

QUEER BIRD BUILDS NO NEST
California Murre Just Drops Its
Eggs Anywhere 1t Happens
to Be.

The California murre is a common
bird about the rocks in it's home To-
cation but has its own peculiar hab-
its. 1t never makes a nest, lays but
one egg, dropping it down anywhere
and leaving it. The egg is prepared
by nature to meet the test, as it does
not roll straight, but will swing about
as a top would on its own axis.
The birds have a habit of gather
ing in large numbers on a shelf of
rock, where the eggs are left in large
numbers, no two alike, a variety of
colors making the display of eggs
resemble a flower garden in bloom.

BRIDGE PAYMENT
MOOT QUESTION
Walker Says County'S Share
Is 100000.

Who is going to pay for the new
bridges over White River at Oliver
and Kentucky Aves.?
This is the question interesting
county commissioners following a
visit from Merle N. A. Walker, at
torney for the bridge contractors,
Thursday.
In an off-hand manner Walker
threw a verbal grenade into the com.
missioners' ranks by asking If the
board had made provisions to pay
$400, 600 which he said was the coun-
tvs share of expense.
The commissioners will stand on
the agreement they say they made
with the city last year by which the
county was to build the Delaware
st. bridge over Fall Creek and the
city build the Oliver and Kentucky
Ave. zridges.
According to Joseph L. Hogue,
city controller, the bond issue for
the new bridges was made under the
flood prevention law, which provides
for a division of expense between
county and city officials and prop
erty owners of the vicinity.
