An unwillingess to inflict capital punishment
seems definitely established in the But great
willingness to grab criminals and and keep them from

UNCLE wIGGILy AND DAZIE
TAI,

Dazie Wogglejig was little girl
made of wood, and she was dark
blue in color. But she never felt
blue. She was the jolliest, most
happy little Woggltjig You can I'M

story from the beginning so there
will be no mistakes.
Dazie lived with her sister and
brother Wogglejigs in the Bungle-
ump home which, for the winter.
had been moved just across the gar
den from Uncle Wiggily's hollow
stump bungalow. In the same little
house, which was named Bungleum3.
lived Boppy, a little wooden man,
and I'm, a little wooden lady. They
were the daddy and mother of the
Wogglejigs.
The Wogglejigs were very queer
and jolly. Their bodies were made
of two egg-shaped pieces of wood,
fastened together with wooden
pin. Another wooden pin made q
neck and on this neck the wooden

Carnival Closed
BY City Council

The board Of trustees at it's regu
lar meeting last night after listening
to many protests made by citizens
concerning the operations of ear
nival company on lot at Fourth
and Orange streets, issued instruc-
tions practically closing the entire
show.
According to the protestants,
many of the concessions had gamb,
ling features that were attracting
the younger people Of the commun,
ity. Under the conditions imposed
by the council it is questionable
whether the company will be able
to continue its operations here.
The board of trustees assured a
representative of the chamber Of
commerce that it would gladly CO.
operate in sending representative
to be present at the electric rate
hearing to be held at Riverside, Jan
uary II.
The garbage contract was again
awarded to Tom Gebbie. He is to
collect garbage three times weekly
during the warmer months and
twice weekly during the cooler
months.

Boo-hoo!p

she could use her front pair almost
like hands, so she was quite clever:
And she also had a little wooden
tail, very cute and pretty.
One day just as Uncle Wiggilv
was statring out from his hollow
stump bungalow to go look for an
adventure he heard some one crying
under the gooseberry bush. OF
course there were no goosehcrries on
the bush in winter, and no leaves,
and it did not take the rabbit gen
tleman long to look through the
bare bush and see dark blue Dazie
Wogglejig there.
"What' s the matter, DGzic!
asked the bunny uncle.
"Oh, lots is the matter!' sobbed
the Wogglejig girl. A whole
house and lot is the matter. /
l we lost my tail--boo, hoo.'
Lost your tail?' asked Uncle
Wiggily kindly. That s too bad.
But it ism quite 50 sad as Little
Bo Peep, for she lost her sheep. | II
help you look for your tail, Dazie.
Where did you drop it,
II didn I drop it, sobbed Dazie.
And Uncle Wiggly, remembering
that she was made of wood, was
not as surprised at hearing that she
had lost her tail as he would have
been had Jackie Bow, Bow, the
dog, said his tail was gone.
"If you didn't drop your tail, :
asked Uncle Wiggily, chow did you
lose it, Tails don't get lost of

A CHEER FOR MCADAN

The process by which big stones were laid for road
1oundatlon, smaller poured in the interstices, still
smaller ones into the smaller holes then left, and at
length pebbles or sand used to fill the smallest holes
and make strong and resilient fabric is called maca
damizing road The word from name of Sir
John l.. McAdam who worked it out. Applying that
and other sound principles to the building of roads in
his native Scotland and England far back as 100
years ago, he considered much beneactor that
the British government rewarded him with gift of
10000 pounds
This method is still used as base for bricks and con-
crete on many of the newest roads, and is used alone
with great satisfaction in many places which have less
hard traffic
Perhaps in this centennial year of the macadam road
the story may be told once of banquet at which
Sir Walter Scott was guest of honor.
McAdam rose to propose his health saying: Here's
to Sir Walter Scott the Colossus of Literature"
Sir Walter jumped to his feet and proposed the next
toast: Here's to Sir John McAdanl, the Colossus of
Rhodes.'
