at three were asleep along came Mr..
Whitewash. the Polar Bear.
"Ho! Ho! Somebody has been
taking icicles from my ice cave!'
said Mr.. Whitewash, when he saw
the dangling white things. But when
he felt of them he knew they were
only sticks. Then he guessed that
Uncle Wiggily had been making pre-
tend icicles to cool the hot Dummies
and the Polar Bear said ~ II go
to my cave and get real ones!' -
And he did. for his cave was so
deep and dark that icicles hung in
it all summer, the sun never shining
in to melt them. Mr.. Whitewasl
took down the white, painted sticks
and in their places lie hung his real
icicles. And when Uncle Wiggily and
the bunnies awakened they could
not understand why it was SO cool,
with water dripping from real icicles
"Well,' said Mr.. Longcars. 81
made some pretend icicles, but a
fairy must have come along while
| slept and changed them into real
ones. Dear me! This is very
stIange!"
''Ha! Ha.' laughed Mr.. White
wash, popping out of the bush where
he was hiding. 81 WAS the iciclc
fairy, Uncle Wiggily." Then he
took the bunnies to his ice cave I'M
til they were well cooled and he gave
them some snow pudding which was
just wonderful that hot day.
So it all happened for the best,
you see, and if the bedroom rug
doesn't go to sleep when the dust
ing brush is cleaning its teeth, l III
tel you next about Uncle Wiggily
and the baby robin.

An American Called to Reorsanize
The Reindeer Industry for
Hudson Bay Co.

Seattle.-W. T. Lopp, chief Of the
Alaska division of the United States
Bureau of Education for 81 years,
left his home here this Summer for
Baffin Land, the Canadian island be-
tween Greenland and North America,
to reorganize the reindeer industry
for the Hudson Bay Company.
Until this year Lopp was in charge
of reindeer throughout Alaska. In
the Winter of 1896 a party composed
of Lieut.. D. H. jarvis, Lieut.. e. B.
Bertholf, DR.. S. ]. Call and Lopp
drove a small herd of reindeer 500
miles to Point Barrow, Alaska, from
Cape Prince of Wales, on the east
side of Boring Strait, to relieve a
whaling fleet frozen in and starving.
The first reindeer in Alaska were
landed in 1892 at Teller. so miles
from Cape Prince of Wales. Laps
were brought to Alaska to teach the
Indians and Eskimos how to care for
the animals. The raising of reindeer
has become one of Alaskas largest
industries.
The Hudson Bay Company placed a
small number of reindeer on Baffin
Land four years ago at the sugges-
ton of Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the
explorer, and since then the herd
has grown to 700.
The Danish Government Is nego-
tiating with Lopp to introduce the
raising of reindeer on Greenland.

Paderewski Forced by Hoover to
Stop Massacres of Jews

Mutual misunderstanding between
Herbert Hoover, then the de facto
world Food Commissioner" and
Paderewski, the musician. then
Premier of Poland, almost wrecked
the government of Poland in 1919.
This passage of diplomatic history
is revealed by Herman Bernstein in
his article upon Hoover in the
September .McC1ure's Magazine.
The misunderstanding arose over
a massacre Of Jews in Pinsk, where
81 We're executed by a firing squad,
commanded by a major in the Polish
army.
Lewis L. Strauss is the authority
for the story which Bernstein quot
ed.
II took the telegram telling of the
execution to Mr.. Hoover and read it
to him. His face seemed to grow
older as he listened. Mr.. Hoover
wrote at once to NJ. Paderewsk and
the Premier came at once to our Of
flee. l was present at the interview.
Paderewski insisted that nothing
had occurred except a routine execu-
ton of bolsheviki Mr.. Hoover was
in most delicate position. With
tact at which shall always marvel.
yet with bluntness that carried
conviction, he told the Premier that
his government would find it impos-
sible and unwise to palliate such

Col. Proctor Gets
Verdict $62,697
In His $780, Suit

Chicago. Oct. 2-(AP)-A jury
that had been out % hours today re-
turned a verdict in federal court
awarding Colonel William C. Proc
tor. Cincinnati soap manufacturer, a
judgement of $62,697 in his suit
against Colonel A. A. Sprague, Chi
cago commissioner of public works.
The suit was brought by Proctor to
recover half of a 100000 note he
had paid, with interest. Proctor, as
chairman of the national committee
which campaigned for General Leon
ard Wood for president in 1920,
signed the note and Colonel Sprague,
treasurer of the national committee,
also affixed his signature. Colonel
Sprague contended he signed only as
an official Of the bank loaning the
money, while Proctor maintained he
signed as a co-guarantor.
The jury awarded the full amount
asked by Proctor. Sprague's attor-
ney made a motion for a new trial
but no date was set for hearing.

Robbers in Gun Battle
(continued from PAGE one)

rection he indistinctly made out the
forms of two men who had Just
emerged from the opened window.
He called to them to halt but was
answered by two shots in quick sue
cession. His ruse in holding his
fiashlight to one side undoubtedly
saved him from being ported by the
bullets from the desperados gun.
Bowker Immediately replied with
four shots and then as he dimly saw
the pair making off, to the south
started in pursuit. 1t was at this
point that three Journal pressmen
appeared in the yard and while
awaiting the return of Officer Bow
ker they cautiously reconnoitered in
the Purinton building fire room.
Momentarily abandoning the chase
Officer Bowker returned to the Jour-
nal Office to get word to headquarters
for more men to head off escape of
the providers in the direction of Hall
DWELL. 1t was determined that the
pair made entry into the fire room by
breaking the window and releasing
the catch but were almost immedi-
ately surprised by Officer Bowker
and hastily retreated. This fact was
apparent because there had been no
attempt to force doors leading to up
per offices.
Later Officer Bowker went by auto
to Hallowell and returned on foot by
way of the Maine Central tracks in
search of the robbers. At the same
time Deputy Marshal Witham start
ed down the tracks on the Augusta
end. No trace of the pair was found
when the officers met between the
two cities at about 2 "A. M.
One of the providers was tall and
slim and the other of medium build.
Beyond this Officer Bowker could
give no further description.

'I don't suppose anybody loves his
home as much as I do" remarked the
commercial traveller when the train
stopped at a point where one of those
dear old honey houses stood.

that" admitted the travellers COM
