MR.. BEAR WAKES UP

MIR. BEAR awoke from his nap one
Az winter. and peeping out of his
window saw the sun shining so bright
ly he thought it must be spring.
Somehow I do not feel like get
ing up" said he, 'but If the spring is
here I must get up and set my house
In order"
When Mr.. Bear got outside he found
1t was not at all springlike, but cold,
and his raggity fur coat blew about
him, making him SILVER and shake.
"Hello, Mr.. Bear" called out Reddy
Fox, who was skidding through the
woods. "What are you doing out this
time of the year? Going to our to-
boggan party?"
Mr.. Bear had no idea at ali what
a toboggan party might be, but he
asked, "Where is it?" just as If that
were the very thing he got up for.
"Over the other side of the woods"
replied Reddy Fox. "You had better
hurry, for everybody wants to get the
first ride"
Mr.. Bear said he guessed he would
trot right along with Reddy Fox, be-
cause things looked so strange all
covered with snow. eff I had known
there was snow on the ground I would
have stayed in bed" he said. 81
thought 1t was %springtime. The sun
shone through the trees and there was
no snow around my house."
"Oh. you miss a lot of things sleep
ing so MUCH" Reddy told him. "You
will get up every winter after this, /
am certain, when you find out how
much fun it Is to slide down hill" By

argued. what Ices he know about
steering or tobogganing?"
But MI. Bear wanted the front sea-
and so he told Mr.. Fox that If he
would let him sit there he would take
them all over to his house after the
party and make hot chicken soup. He
had some canned which he thought
would taste very good on such a cold
day.
That settled it for Mr.. Fox. "The
worst he can do is to tumble us off
In the snow he said to himself, land
chicken soup is worth that much"
SO Mr.. Bear took his seat and was
told how to steer. "Now hold on to
the rope with both paws and don't
let go of it for anything, no matter
what happens. Hold on to that rope
and do not pull on one side more than
the other"
"Huh, that is easy enough to do"
replied Mr.. Bear, catching hold of the
rope.
"Are you ready?' called Mr.. Coon,
who was to start the %toboggan.
Let 'er go" answered Mr.. Bear,
and off they went.
Now, Mr.. Squirrel sat on Mr.. Bears
shoulder, the wind blowing his tail
around so that it tickled Mr.. Bears
nose. He did not know what it was.
In fact, he forgot it was winter. He
thought of flies and bees and other
bOthersome bugs.
Mr.. Bear forgot he was steering, too.
He let go with one paw to brush away
the thing that was tickling his nose,
and away went the toboggan, riders
and all, into the snow.
Some rolled down the hill and
bumped into the stone wall at the bot
tom. Mr.. Bear was one of these. "Why
didn't you tell me there was a bumper
ahead" he scolded Mr.. Squirrel.
Bumper? There was no bumper.
You let go n side Of the rope" said
Mr.. Squirrel.
"Well, a bee or something kept tick
ling my nose" weakly argued Mr..
Bear. anyway, my feet are cold and
am going home. 1 don't see any fun
IN staying awake all winter"
"We wouldn't, either, If we had you
to steer u.s." said MI. Fox. "But don't
that chicken soup, Mr.. Bear.
You owe us something for dumping

By the time Mr.. Bear reached home
lis feet were so cold and sore that he
umped right into bed and groaned for
he hot water bottle to be brought to
lin, and it took the whole party to
yait on him before they could get him
Luiet.
Don't see how you can say there
$ any fun in the winter time" he
roaned.
"There's wouldn't be-" replied Reddy
OK, "if you were around. Now don't
get out Of that bed until spring"
AS Don as Mr.. Bear made a sleepy
Ound Mr.. Fox went into the pantry
nd found the chicken soup and soon
verybody forgot and forgave Mr.. Bear
)r tumbling them into the snow. "He {
a good cook" said Reddy Fox, "but

the time Mr.. Bear got to the top Of
the hill with Reddy Fox he knew all
about a toboggan party and he was so
anxious to get a ride on the long sled
that he nudged and pushed everybody
to get a seat.
LET him sit in 'front.'" said Mr..
Squirrel. "He is good and strong and
can steer. 'TIl sit on his shoulder
and keep a lookout ahead for bump
ers."
Mr.. Coon was there looking very
comfortable in his winter furs, and
he said he did not mind at all sitting

Mr.. Possum said he would sit any
where, he wasn't fussy. But Mr.. Fox

seat taken by Mr.. Bear. "He never

Corn has been the greatest factor
in the improved crop cash returns
in all four states. The statement
often is made that corn is not a
cash crop and the price of corn,
therefore, is not significant. because
it must be converted into pounds
of meat to be marketed. This
statement is very true for the Uni
ted States as a whole but in many
parts of the Northwest, especially
in 1923. corn has been a cash crop
on account of the poor quality OF
corn in many sections of the corn
belt. which has compelled stock
feeders to purchase corn in the
terminal markets. The Northwest
has benefited from this as is
shown by the record sales of North
west corr in the Minneapolis mar
ket.
Flax. oats and wild hay have also
been steadily contributing to the in
creased cash return of the farmer III
these states. Flax and oats plant
ings have increased due to reduc-
tons of wheat. rye and potato acre
age, as a result of the unsatisfac-
tory prices received for the latter
products during the last year or
two.

Of course if you are a drone, only stopping here without any interest in the past, present or future of the town-a parasite--sapping all the life you can from others without giving any in return, there may be some excuse for you trading away from home, but if you believe in giving a little as we'll as taking a lot there is no excusable apology that can be offered for not patronizing home institutions.

Archbishop Shaw Declares Scanty
Garments Are Worse Than
Not to Be Clad.
By the Associated Press.

Archbishop Shaw of the Catholic dio-
cese of Louisiana, commenting on tho
campaign against woman's tnmodesty
Of dress, recently launched by the
Pope. told the New Orleans Item yes
terday that the clothes worn by many
women on the streets of New Orleans
were an invitation to insults"
What women do not seem to take
into consideration is the fact that to
be scantily clothed Is far more shock
ing and immodest than not to be clad
at all. The one admits the facts ,oi
Nature. the other hints at them in a
suggestive and indecent manner The
Item quoted the archbishop AS saying:
II do not think 1t could be safely
left TO each Woman's conscience TO
decide what constitutes modesty of
dress. fer il is d sad fact that In such
matters many women are without
conscience. Let the high MINDED
women decide for the rest--through
some such scheme as proposed IN
