Changing Votes

Methinks that every man in sight
knows how he'll vote election day. and
I might argue day and night, and not
persuade single jay. Long since 1
used to strive to gain some converts for
the proper cause, and I would argue till
the strain was fierce upon my lungs and
Jaws. I'd back man against tree
and tell him why he ought to vote for
Silas links or Hen McGee-Id talk
until I barked my throat. I'd lecture
in the Blue Front store on vital issues
great and small; I'd lecture till my
tongue was sore, and hoped to change
some votes that Fall. I'd stand around
the public square, in evening dust and
morning dews, and hand to CATERS
loafing there such arguments as great
men use And orators would come to
town to supplement the work did, and
they would lay cold logic down with
tongues that never learned to skid. /
toured the boulevard and slum, i'm
plored and argued, talked and wheezed;
and when the election day was come
the folks all voted as they pleased.
The men I thought secure for Jinks,
who seemed all lined up for MCGEE
they all supported tother ginks, and
put extinguishers on me. One gains
some wisdom as he wends adown the
pathway to the grave, and now do not
lecture friends, or tell. them how they
should behave. see the spielers
blithely go to round up voters here and
there; they make fine and dazzling
show-but does this work get any
where? Is there much use in giving
vent to arguments that skin the throat?

doesn't know just how he'll vote?

BEDTIME STORIES By y. r ssse1ss

house Whitefoot and Mrs. Whitefoot
and Trader the Wood Rat watched
what was going on. You see, they had
heard the noise and after while curl
osity got the best of them.
Cubby was so busy that he failed to
look around to see if anybody else were
present. In other words, he forgot to
watch out. Yes, sir, he forgot to watch
out. There was a sudden loud sniff.
Cubby dropped that piece of Stovepipe
as if it had burned him. He turned
toward the place that loud sniff had
come from. Such look as there was
on his face! He scrambled to his feet
and away he went. You wouldn't be-
lieve that little Bear could run as fast
as Cubby ran. All the time he kept
trying to look behind him. Now this
is very bad thing for any one to try
to do-to run and look behind at the
some time. Only people whose eyes
are set way back, like those of Peter
Rabbit. can do that successfully There
was an old stump in the clearing
Cubby Bear ran right smack into it!
He didn't see that stump at all, because
he was trying to look behind him.
Cubby was knocked sprawling But
he didn't lose any time No sir, Cubby
didn't lose any time. He just gave a
frightened Squeal and was off again.
Across the clearing he raced and into
the Green Forest. Then he went up a
tree. You wouldn't believe that any
one as big as Cubby Bear could go up
a tree as fast as he went. The way he
went up that tree would have been a
credit to Happy Jack Squirrel. Up he
went, up, up, up, until he could get
no higher. He was away up in the top
of tree, hanging on for dear life and
looking down with such a scared eX-
preston as only badly scared little
Bear can have.
What was it all about? Well over
there by that piece of stovepipe, sniff
fing at it and rolling it over to see what
it was, was his father, great big Buster
Bear. Cubby didn't know it was his
father and Buster didn't know that
Cubby was his son. You see, Father
Bears seldom know their own children.
Buster looked over at the tree where
Cubby was and yawned. Then he took
few steps in that direction. Cubby
chung more tightly than ever and did
his best to climb a little higher. Then
Buster lost all interest in Cubby and
shuff1ed over to the Sugar-house. 1t
was the turn then of Whitefoot the
Wood Mouse and Mrs Whitefoot and
Trader the Wood Rat to run. They ran
and hid in their nests and wondered if
it would be possible for great big
Buster Bear to get into that sugar.
house.

gether it made very nice plaything.
At least Cubby thought so. For the
time being he had forgotten all about
the smell of Wood Mice and of Trader
the Wood Rat, which had come from
inside that little sugar-house. You
know he had been trying to break in
when he knocked off the chimney.
That was just like Cubby. Bears
have no persistence. If they start to
do a thing and something distracts
their attention they forget about what
they had started to do. All Cubby
thought about now was playing with
that old piece of stovepipe. He thrust
a little black paw way into it and then
stood up with it, still on his arm. That
frightened him for minute and he
swung that arm. That sent the piece
of stovepipe flying. Instantly Cubby
was after it and bounced on it as if
1t were something alive.
Peeping through cracks in the sugar.

WALLACE BEERY MAY

Movie Star Considering Dawn-to- Dusk Attempt in
 Nnntpn|,ep

Hollywood, Cal. June 22 P-Wal. lace Beery. screen comedian and aviation enthusiast, plans to enter q Inonoplane in the transcontinental dawn-t dusk flight which is to be a part of the national air meet in Los Angeles next September.
 He hopes to span the New York to Los Angeles route in 16 hours or better, using a specially built two- scatter open monoplane with accom- modations for himself and pilot.
 The project as yet is tentative, dependent on motion picture pro- duction schedules and other factors which might interfere. but Beery is enthusiastic. He does most of his travelling now in a speedy biplane, and at the moment he discussed the daNn-to-dusk project between scenes on location about 900 miles from here. the little ship which brought him to work by air was waiting on landing field nearby.
 The flight will be purely a sport ing proposition so far as I am con- cerned," said the comedian. "I'm not eager to win prize or cover myself with glory. just like flying. that's all. and the dawn-to-dusk race ought to be real thrill"

NEW TREATIES WITH CHINA

Among the first moves of an in- ternational character made by the new Chinese Nationalist government will be the negotiation of new treaties with foreign powers to take the place of the unequal extra territorial pacts still remaining in force. The new government knows where the shoe pinches and is going to use some new corn plaster.
 Fortunately the powers long have recognized the necessity of new treaties. Pledges had been made at the Washington Conference of 1921 2c for the abrogation of the extra territorial jurisdictions and revision of the Chinese tariff schedules. The Tariff Revision Commission which was authorized by the Washington Conference met in 1925 and agreed to the principle of Chinese tariff autonomy, to begin in 1929. The Com- mission on Extratcrritoriality. also authorized by the Washington con- ference, met in 1926 and was favor able to the relinquishment of extra territoriaity, but concluded that the the judicial system of China at that time was still inadequate for inn mediate action. Meanwhile Russia and Belgium gave up their rights under extraterritoriality. Great Brit ain proposed united action looking toward abrogation of the unequal treaties and the United States an nounccd it was prepared to rolin- quish its eXtraterrit torial rights when a strong enough government appeared in China with which to n, gotiate.
 That time having arrived, no further excuses remain for the abandonment of the unequal treaties.
 The United States from time inn memorial has faithfully stood by the principle of q square deal for China and the open door; # will be among he first 10 negotiate with the ! stabilized Chnese government.
