i us get over this talk about sending
il elsewhere Even farming il ont to our
neighbors is not proper or fitting, and
should be discontinued MS soon rs present
agreements are carried out.
This is not said in any selfish spirit
but because of facts and conditions.
How much of nm attraction would
Europes passion play be if it was moved
from 0berammergau and put on "one-
night stand" basis up and down the
country?
The author of The Wayfarer belongs
TO Seattle. The producer belongs to Sc

longs to Seattle. The Wayfarer. himself,
and Understanding belong here. And
last but not least the thousands of loyal
men and women of the cast who have
given days and nights without pay, be-
long here.
1t has taken 4 number of years to
perfect the organization and it is doubt
full if another such could be gathered
together in any other city. And no.
where would it be possible to find the
setting that the stadium, the balmy eve
nings, the lake beyond and the canopy of
sky and stars afford.
If properly and permanently staged
every other year this great pageant would
prove, next to the Mountain, our greatest
attraction, and would bring thousands of
tourists and dollars here that would not
otherwise come this way.
OF course, it will mean that The Way
farer be permanently underwritten by a
responsible organization, but Seattle has
underwritten bigger accounts than this
that paid less dividends.
For the pleasure and profit of Seattle,
and the preservation of The Wayfarer,
let's nail down for once and all this
matchleSs pageant play.

 One day when the cook was un- usually cross and cruel to Dick, Alice, the lovely young daughter of MT. Fitzwarren, came into the kitchen. She opened the door just in time to see the cook hit poor Dick over the head with a dirper full of hot water.
 Alice was very angry 10 see the boy receiving such treatment, She reported the matter to her father, who told the cook that she would he discharged immediately unless she mendcd her ways. From this time on Dick felt that he hand an- other friend in the lovely Alice.

Peter Rabbit Looks for Digger
 the Badger

To me ii always has been plain,
 X toneue was meant 10 knowledge
 gain. Peter Rabbit
 Peter Rabbit isn't afraid to ask questions He never has been. If he wants to know a thing he asks questions until he finds it out. That is partly the result of curiosity. You know, Peter is full Of curiosity. There is nothing in all the great world equal to curiosity for leading people to ask questions.
 One day it popped into Peters head that it was some time since he had seen Digger the Badger. Peter never did feel really acquainted with Digger, but he used to like to pass near Diggor's home once in a while inst 10 goo him. He was SO very different from anyone else in the Green Meadows or the Green For est that Peter never tired Of won dering about him. So now, having thought of Digger, Peter promptly started over to pay his respects,
 When Peter reached the place on the edge of the Green Meadows where Digger had made his home, Digger was nowhere to be seen. Hes probably down inside
New Britain herald., 1925-07-13

thought Peter. 'I wish I dared go down in and make him call, But I guess that would be a very fool ish thing to do.'
 Peter was quite right about this. He couldn't possibly have done a more foolish thing than to do down into the home of Digger the Badger, for the chances are that he never would have come out again. So, or course, Peter didn't go in. He looked all around to see If Digger might be hunting somewhere near. He couldn't see him. Finally Peter ventured right mp on the sandy doorsteps of Digger's home and right away if struck him that there was an air about that house as if 1t were deserted. He looked for foot prints on the sandy doorstep. There were no fresh ones.
 "That's queer" muttered Peter to himself as he scratched 8 long ear with a long hind foot and stared at the entrance to Digger's home. If  Digger were ont last night or early this morning there should be foot prints"
 Just then he saw something which made him jump right straight up in the air with surprise. It was a little fine spiderweb right across the doorway of Digger's home. Peter knew then that Digger was not liv- ing there. He knew that that house was deserted, What could have happened? Was Digger the Badger dead? Had Digger moved away !? Peter wasted no more time there. of he started, asking everyone he met if they had seen Digger the Badger No one had, and what is more, no one seemed to be at all interested. This made Peter all the more eager 10 find out what had

 He hurried this way. He hur- ried that way. He looked every where on the Green Meadows. He even went over to the Green Forest. though he knew very well that Dig ger was not fond of the Green For est. Nowhere did he find Digger. or any sign of Digger. And nowhere did he find anyone who knew any thing about what had become of Digger All this made Peter only the more curious. IL reminded him that Digger had come to the Green i Meadows iii the most mysterious way Ill the first place. He didn't belong there. He had once said | hat his home had been in the Far West where Old Man Coyote had come from, Peter knew Old Man
