BEDTIME STORIES
BY THORNTON
W. BURGESS

Johnny Chuck was watching him.
When he got dangerously near the
home of the young Chucks Johnny
Chuck gave Il sharp whistle. Instant
~ Polly Chuck replied. Then down
into their house scampered the four
young Chucks, who had been out
hunting for sweet clover. How they
did run! Polly Chuck followed them.
Then Old Man Coyote. pretending
to be very angry, jumped to his feet
and rushed straight toward Johnny
Chuck, who was sitting at the en-
trance of another house short dis
lance away. Johnny waited only long
enough to show his teeth and snarl.
Then he bolted head first down into
that old house. 1t was then that Old
Man Coyote once more grinned. Yes,
sir, he did SO. Instead of looking dis
appointed and angry, he grinned. You
see, he hadn't expected to catch one
of those Chucks, so he wasn't disap-
pointed. AS a matter of fact. every
thing was working just as he wanted
it to. All the Chucks were now un-
dcrground. Polly Chuck and the chill
dren were in one house and Johnny
chuck was down in the other. Old
Man Coyote looked back. Mrs. Coy
ote was doing her part. She was
coming swiftly toward him, as fast as
she could run. Old Man Coyote sniff
ed loudly at the entrance to the hole
where Johnny Chuck had disappear
ed Then he ran over to Polly
Chuck's house and did the same thing
there. That was to make Johnny and
Polly Chuck stay down below for a
while.
Meanwhile Mrs. Coyote came up
and hid in the grass back of Polly
Chuck's house Then Old Man Coyote
started off across the Green Meadows,
away from the homes of the Chuclts.
He didn't hurry. He just took his
time He knew very well that shortly
johnny Chuck would peep out to see
what had become of him. He was
playing a sharp trick, was Old Man
Coyote.

heads together and see what we can

SO Old Man Coyote and Mrs. Coyote
put their heads together and after a
While they trotted down on the Green
Meadows. There they separated. Old
Man Coyote made straight for the
home of the Chuck family. Mrs Coy
ote headed in the opposite direction.
They could see Johnny Chuck sitting
up on his doorstep watching them.
Old Man Coyote, as he drew near the
home Of the young Chucks. began to
creep very carefully through the
grass. He did exactly as he would
have done had he thought he was un-
seen by Johnny Chuck or any one
else. Yet all the time he knew that

No persons like to have 1t said that

Man Coyote had been accused of
catching one of Johnny Chuck's chill
dren. He hadn't, for he hadn't had a
chance. But he was blamed for it
just the same because that young
Chuck had disappeared.
1T is bad enough to be blamed for
things one does do, but to be blamed
for things one doesn't do is not to be

up behind him.

MORE INQUIRIES
VACATION PLACES
TEN THOUSAND LAKES ASSO-
CATION STILL SENDING OUT
LISTS OF PROSPECTIVE VA
CATIONISTS.

Not only have the largest num-
Der of inquiries to be received by
the Ten Thousand Lakes association
in a single year established a new
record during 1927, but requests
for resort accommodations are ex-
tending farther into the fall sea-
son than ever before according to
H. C. Hotahng, secretary of the
lakes organization and state tourist
commissioner.
Last year the final list of the sea-
SON was sent out on September g.,
but this year the lists are still be-
ing made up. Last year a number
of fall visitors were attracted here
by the big game season, but even
without that attraction this year
there seems to be more interest than
ever in fall vacations.
The last list sent out this year
is one of the most interesting of
the entire season. It contains the
names of four natives of the Philip
pine Islands who plan on spending
vacation here, probably next year.
1t also contains the name of citi-
zen of Montreal, Quebec, who de-
sires information concerning va
cation here. Then come inquiries
from Massachusetts,, Arizona, Texas,
Nebraska, Colorado, New Jersey,
West Virginia, and several from
Iowa, Illinois, Kansas and Wiscon-
sin, as we'll as from Minnesota. In
cluded in the list are the names of
five persons who are interested in
lakeshore property.
To date more than 10,250 mail
inquiries have been received by the
association for 1927 as compared
with $500 for 1926. These in
quiries, according to Mr.. Hotaling,
will be listed and mailed out to
members of the association as long
as they come, and accommodations
will be available for vacationists as
long as they want to, come as sew
eral resorts intend : to operate
throughout the winter.
Plans are now being made for
the holding of the eleventh annual
meeting of the Ten Thousand Lakes
association in Minneapolis about
the middle of December and efforts
are being made to secure a speaker
of national prominence to address
the delegates who will be in attend
ance. The date and place of meet
ing will be announced later.
At this meeting the work of the
association during the past year will
be reviewed and plans will be
launched for the publicity and ad-
vertising campaign which will be
fostered in 1928.

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
LETS JOBS FOR 1928

The Minnesota highway depart
ment, following its policy Of plan
ming it's work in advance, is now
letting contracts for work to be
done in the summer of 1928. Com
missioner C. M. Babsock announces
that bids will be received October
18 on 25.5 miles of paving and 70
miles of new grading to be done
next year. By letting contracts in
the fall, the department gets bet
ter prices and contractors are able
to get ready to start in the early
spring.
The list includes one grading job
27.6 miles long, which will involve
moving TAI 600 cubic yards Of dirt.
Six other jobs, in various parts OF
the state, contemplate moving .
total of a million yards or more.
The paving advertised viii COM
plete the gap from the present pave
ment south of Shakopee, to Min
neapolis, on No. 5, and over No. 81
from No. to St. Paul. Both these
routes were graded on new location
in 1926, the new route shortening
the distance from both st. Paul and
Minneapolis to all points in south
western Minnesota. The old routes
on No. and So have been among
the most expensive and difficult that
the department has had to maintain.
Traffic will continue on the old
routes until the paving is completed.
Bids are also asked for crawling
four routes that have been graded
this summer, and shouldering one
stretch of new pavement.

ELY LOSES GAME
To VIRGINIA, 1876
(By William Coombe.)

The Virginia football team de-
feated Ely 1876 on their home field
last Saturday. The events of the
game are as follows:
Ely received the ball on the
kickoff but failed to make much
of a gain. On the first down Ely
made about twenty-five yards on a
short end run. It looked as though
Ely was going To score right off,
but things began to tighten up and
Ely was forced to punt. It was
Virginia's ball but they did not adj
vance it much and was forced to
punt. Both teams played on even
erms during the first quarter. The
second quarter began to tighten
Things up for Virginia as they got
.he ball and carried it within scor-
ing distance but failed in four down
to make a score. Ely tried at the
line few times and were forced to
punt. 1t was a poor one and Vir-
ginia was soon back in scoring dis
lance again. This time they car
ried it over for a touchdown and
also scored the extra point. Vir-
ginia led at the half by z to 0. Ely
came out in the second half deter
mined to tie the score. Virginia
received the ball and after four
attempts was forced to punt. A
pass to Sayovitz netted a good gain
and another to Indy brought the
ball within scoring distance. Mer-
har carried the ball over the line.
The try for the extra point was in
side the goal posts. The rest of
the quarter was evenly fought. Vir-
ginia had the break in the last
quarter. The first part of it was
even with both teams fighting mad.
Ely had several chances tn score,
but failed to take advantage of
them. Virginia broke away with
some passes during the last eight
minutes of play and with a couple
of line bucks made another touch
down. Ely tried many passes but
time cut them short the game end
ing 13 to 6.
The following boys made the
trip: Anderson, Banovetz, Skala,
Clough, Smrekar, Hill, Nicholas,
Toutloff, Gouze, Merhar, Blair,
Sayovitz, Indy, Gerzin, Olson, Lee
pisto, Carls IN, Turula, Sasek,
Schultz. Ely goes to Eveleth to-
morrow with hopes of returning
with. a victory.
