As he spoke, over the top of a

the Bushv Bear. He had not hurried
as fast as he might. for this Bear
growled to himself:

They can t get away from me. The
snow is too deep. | can take my
time and catch them whenever

So the Bear didn I hurry. and this
gave ESki a chance to help Uncle
Wiggilv and Scooter build the igloo
or snow block house. Into this house
the three rabbits now crawled by
way of the low front door. They had
to Stoop down to get in. Once in

Now we are safe from the
Bear, said the Eskimo rabbit.
If you will take half an orange

hole in the lower edge of the half
round orange skin and make a hole
in the top, and YOU viii know just
what sort of a place Uncle Wiggily
Scooter and Eski were in, hiding
from the Bear.
Quite snug the three rabbits were
in the igloo, and Scooter thought it
was quite jolly until, all of a sud

shifting noise.

Uncle Wiggily ran after the Eskl-
no rabbit, down into a little hollow
between the hills of snow and so,
for time, they were out of sight OF
the Buslly Bear, who was chasing
them.

Eskimo rabbit of Mr.. Longears.
"'Yes." answered Scooter 5 dad

HUNT LOSING GRIP

Developments of the present week tend to show
that the Hon. G. W. P. Hunt is losing his grip Ari
zona Following the action of the Yuma Chamber of
Commerce in again endorsing the SwingJ ohnson bill
and refusing to be co-erced into following the Hunt
banner the Kingman Miner declares that the Arizona
delegation at Washington "have been making monkeys
Of themselves
when Arzonans went before the congressional
committee (the Irrigation and Reclamation committee
of the House,, their attitude made adverse impress
sion on the members, and especially when it developed
that they had absolutely valid for their op
position, only the vaporings of unsound reasoning,
declares the Arizona paper.
A few years ago such comment was unheard of IN
Arizona where Hunts machine had stranglehod on
affairs. Not even Mulford Winsor could force the
Yuma chamber to fall in line with the governors pro-
gram nor does the editor of the kingman Miner
hoot what Hunt and his cohorts think.
California has contended all along that Arlzona's
position is that of the dog in the manger, conten
ton that other states interested in the development OF
the Colorado have refused to recognize as true.
The Yuma and Kingman incidents should help to
convince these that Californias claims just
that she asks nothing that is not rightly hers.

A LEADER PASSES

The general regret expressed in England at the
passing of Earl Haig is shared in the United States
where the ability and leadership of the marshal of
Rritains armies during the World War, has long been
recognized.
Confronted by gigantic task in coordnating the
vast military of the empire in the most gl-
gantic of all wars Haig managed to accomplish two
unheard of feats-leading the British armies to sue
cess, and keeping peace with the British War office
America particularly recalls his agreement with
General Pershng, when the latter objected to the alb
sorpton of American troops by the Allies replace
ments for casualties. Haig suggested the plan but
when Pershing insisted upon individual American
army under command of its own leaders, Hag rec
ognized the desraby Of such action and joined with
Pershing in meeting the French demands which were
the Hag's original plan.
When the Allied armies were united under the
supreme command of General Foch. Haig worked
a unit with the French and American leaders, adopting,
they did, the plan of concentrated effort to defeat
the enemy.
He will long be remembered for the splendid ex
hibiton of bulldog tenacty he gave in the days when
things looked blacklist for the Allied and his un
faltering belief that the in which he led must
eventually triumph

lost his way. Mr.. Longears offered
20 take Eski, as he was called for
short. to his uncle s burrow and, on
the way, the Bushy Bear chased the
three friends.
"But wen build an igIoo and
fool the bad chap" Eski had said,
though neither Uncle Wiggily nor
Scooter knew what an igloo was.
The three rabbits were down in Il
hollow now, out Of sight of the on
coming Bear for time, and as soon
as Eski had Uncle Wiggily's knife
the visiting rabbit began cutting
square blocks out of the stiff snow
which was all about.
HOh, see what you are going to
do!" exclaimed Scooter when he
watched Eski piIing the blocks one
on top Of the other in a circle. &" You
are going to make a block house.
FThat : just what an igloo ISL
said Eski, cutting fast with Uncle
Wiggily's ; knife. "An iglOo is an
Eskimo house made Of snow blocks.
It's Just like the houses the seals
make under the ice where they 1--we
with their little ones. The Eskimos
learned how to make igloOs by
watching the seals"
while Eski was talking he was
also cutting snow blocks and piling
them up, with the nclp of Uncle
Wiggily and Scooter. Higher and
higher rose the walls Of the iglOo
until they were above the heads Of
the rabbits. The top layers Of snow
blocks slanted inward and soon be-
gan 10 form a sort of curved roof.
In short time this curved roof
was closed except for small hole
in the center.
