ANOTHER RED
IDOL FALLS
Bolshevists Put in Me r e
Youth as Successor to
Kameneff

Moscow. Aug. 17.-lR-Anothe
bolshevik idol has fallen. Leon B.
Kameneff, commissar Of trade, once
member Of the so-called triumvirate
which rules Russia and one Of the
principals of the communist world,
has been replaced by a mere youth,
M. Mikoian Of Tiflis, a friend of M.
Stain, head of the communist party.
Like Leon Trotxky, Kameneff was
regarded by Stain and other doctrin-
aire communists as q hereto. The
penalty he paid for daring to ques-
tion the supremacy Of those in power
was first the loss Of his post as a
member Of the powerful political bur-
eau and the post Of commissar of
labor and defense and now the for
feiture Of the trade commissary.
Sixth to Go
Kameneff, whose real name is
Rosenfeld, always has been regarded
% one Of the moderate and progress
sjve elements Of the bolshevik re-
gime. He is the sixth big communist
to fall victim to Stalin's political
axe within the last year. The others
were TrotSky. Zinovioff, Radek,
Sokolnikov and Lashevitch.
Always Immediately groomsd and
suave in manner. Kameneff had been
called "the gentleman Of the soviet
cabinet"

q piece of cake out ot a brown stone
that looked exactly ike chocolate.
You would say, surely, it was a
piece OF chocolate cake, but i is
only Il stone.
Where is it Are you going to
throw il at the rabbit and try to
catch him that way'' asked the
Fox.
NO, snarled the Bob Cat. Il
took the piece of stone that looks
like cake and put il in Uncle Wig
gily's bungalow pantry. You know
the old rabbit gentleman goes in the
pantry every day 70 get piece Of
cake or pie before starting out on
his adventure hunt.
SO l have heard remarked the
Fox.
"Wcll." went on the Bob Cat,
this time when Uncle Wiggily
goes in the pantry to get a piece of
cake he'll pick up the brown stone
I laid On the shelf when the window
was open. Uncle Wiggily will put
the stone in his pocket thinking it
is cake. And when he comes her"
to the woods adventuring and starts
IL cat the cake he will break his
teeth on the stone. That will give
him such a pain that his eyes will
fill with tears and he can't see US. y
"Oh. you mean then we can catch
him. asked III" Fox.
That's it, mcn-cd the Bob
Cat.
Not a bad trick-if it works,
chuckicd the Fox.
On, it will work all right
snaried The Bob Cat. II II fix him
for giving me cotton pic-an old
April Fool joke i was. But let :
hide now. Cncl" Wiggiiy ought to
come hopping along pretty soon. He
will have my stone cake in his
pocket. He will sit down on a log
TO have his lunch. His teeth viii
break off. Tears will come into his
eyes and
Yes. you said all that before,

CANADIAN YOUNGSTER SEEKING
HEALTH ARRIVES IN Ell CENTRIC

Like Salathiel, Eegene Sue s
we'll known Wandering Jew, Lionel
Happy Edwards, II year old Ca
madam youth from Quebec City is
condemned to wander the earth,
seeking not escape from a haunting
deed but trying to cure himself of
an accidental disease which threat
ems to cut his life short at any time.
Happy strolled into FL Centre
Friday and after dcpositing his
so pound pack on the floor of the
Press, told us the following story.
Since the time he was 10 years
old Z" Happy has always looked aft
cr himself having no relations that
he knows of. Late last winter he
and his pal, Larry Rae, obtained
positions in a home town shoe fac
tory and set out to learn the trade
of shoe makers. They worked
there for five months but at the end
of that time, discovering that they
were losing weight rapidly, they
consulted physicians and underwent
a week s treatment. The doctors
then gravclv informed the lads that
the chalk which is used extensively
in shoe manufacture had entered
their lungs and as there was no
known method of removing it. they
could not live month. Finally they
stated that if it WAS possible for the
boys to change their climate con
stantly there might be a faint
chance, depending on the fact that
the reaction of the various atmos-
phcres in different parts might
eventually loosen the chalk and they
would be able to cxhalc it. The
men. backed by 4 firm of
betting underwriters offered to
wager the youths $1,000 against 5
that they would not live TO reach
FL paso and return to their homes,
the only conditions being imposed
were that they go handcuffed to-
,cthcr and without asking aid on the
way.
Start Long Trip
The youths accepted and on the
26 of May left Quebec in search of
health, with no money and no equip
ment and with the cards seemingly
already stacked against them. They
reached Boston, Mass,
but there Larry fell sick, collapsed.
and despite Boston s most expert

in tho woods to wait for the rabbit
gentlemsn to come along, and, PREF
Nv soon, surely enough, Uncle Wig
gily appeared, There was a lump
in one coat pocket.
That s my make believe stone
chocolate cakc.' whispered the Bob
Cat. "Listcn to him crack his
teeth.'
Uncle Wiggily took out a piece OF
chocolate cake, he opened his mouth,
he took large, though not impolite
bite. and then began chewing away
as nicely as you please.
Look, Look at that!' gaspcd
the Bob Cat. His teeth are so
strong that. he can bite stone, Oh,
if he should take a notion to bite
u.s. Think of it! Chewing stone!
And as the bad chaps ran away
Uncle Wiggiy finished eating the
large, soft piece of chocolate cake
and he took from his other pocket
a brown stone, that looked like a
piece OF cake, and the bunny laugh
ed as he said to himself.
"Somebodv tried to play joke
on me, leaving this stone that look
ed like a piece of chocolate cake on
the pantry shelf. / guess it was
Jingle or ,Ianglc OF Tumble or Bum
BILE Well, | don't eat stones;
throw them away.' Then the bun
nv tossed the stone and it hit the
running away Bob Cat on his silly
little tail and made him howl.
The rabbit was too wise for the
bad chaps. And if the sugar bowl
doesn't stay 50 late at the movies
that they have to put the molasscs
i'll the salt cellar to sleep, III tell
YOU next about Uncle Wiggily's
corn house.

but behind the everpresent smile
which has earned him the name OF
Happy turks the dark shadow of
the Grim Reaper, always watching
and waiting for chance to cut down
the fighting Canuck who so far has
kept him Mt bay. Now Happy"
has a little hope ms doctors say his
constitution is gradually throwing
off the deadly chalk.
And so he plods on, never stop
ping, never resting yet always with
n smile on his face as he chascs the
elusive health and all that is his
