UNCLE WIGGILY'S ICICLE
BEIEGE

Every one WAS sure Skipper was
lost in the snow. skipper was the
jolly little black criket who lived I'M
der the warm fireplace in Uncle Wig
gily's hollow stump bungalow. The
rabbit gentleman had made cute
little sled out of half a peanut shell
for Skipper and had lined it with
arm cotton from the milkweed
plant.
Then Uncle Wiggilv and some Of
his bunny boys and girls had takcL
the cricket for a ride out over the
snow. From time to time Mr.. Long
ears turned to ask skipper how b.
enjoyed his ride, but the cricket did
not answer.
"He must be asleep Jingle had
said. But they had a big surprise
when they lifted the cotton covers
and saw no Skipper inside the pea
nutshell sled.
"Oh, dearl" sighed Uncle Wig
gily. He must have walked in his
sleep and jumped out into the snow.
Quick, children, We must find him
before he freezes to DEATH"
SO they all looked for skipper,
peering into holes on top of the
snow, thinking he might be at the
bottom of one. But no Skipper
could be found, nor could his cheer
i'ul voice be heard, calling "Tweet.
Tweet!''
Well, he's gone, I guess" said
Uncle Wiggilv sadly. How sur
prised I was when I lifted the cotton
cover and found him gone! Such =
surprise.' After a long search the
bunny gentleman and his children

BLOWING OUR HORN

We hardly realized that California has as many
papers the report of the state printer shows. All
told there 621 newspapers in the state of which
139 are daiies. sa.
At the risk of being considered immodest and
throwing bouquets of praise when the job might much
flttngly be done by somebody outside the fourth
estate rise to remark that the state can we'll be
proud of its papers,
We cussed and discussed. We make mistakes
and lots of them. We don't suit everybody, couldn't
do it if wished to- and probably would be just
cry enough not to do it if could. We are denounced
for publishing much crime news, and are roasted
If we suppress choice bit of scandal 1t is taken
for granted that will aid every worthwhile COM
if refuse to give columns of free publicity to some
"fy-by-night" promoter who is here today and gone
tomorrow.
If we take sides on an issue we are prejudced or
have been bought, and if we don't, we are spine

Should Mrs. iHighhat get two inches in the society
column and Mrs Hathigh inch and fifteen-six-
teenths the paper has been subsidized favor of the
former and Mrs. Hahgh will probably terminate her
subscription
Through it all the paper goes along doing the best

that would surprise many layman; seeking to in
'Jure no man personality giving every bit of it
gets square deal" and mindful of its duty to
the public welfare. Being human institution the
newspaper IS subject to human frailtes, but there
is constant striving by the 621 newspapers in the
state to keep these frates at a minimum. There is
honest desire the part of each to do its share
to aid the progress and prosperity of California; to
its readers faithfully and fill its place in the
community of which it is part
