FAvORS ship CANAL
Leslie Tells Hoover U. S.
Should Pay Costs.

Governor Harry G. Leslie disclosed
today he advocated federal financing
of a snip canal connecting Lake
Michigan with Lake Erie at Toledo,
o.. during his recent visit with
President Hoover at the White
House.
The President was noncommittal
on the subject.
Such a canal would be 100 miles
long and provide direct, short
cut deep-waterway between Chicago
and the great grain markets of To-
ledo and Buffalo, the Governor told
the President. He feels such a canal
would offer real farm relief to the
central states.
1t would mean a 600-mile trans
portation saving over the present
water route between Chicago and
Toledo, the Governor commended.

MAC DONALD,
HOOVER SILENT
ON INTENTIONS
Impending Discussions Are
Surrounded With
Mystery.
BY LYLE c. WILSON
rnlieh Presr stan Cnrresnondent


WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Tucked
in the midst Of Premier Mac
Donald's crowded Washington pro-
gram are about sixty hours reserved
for the President Of the United
States.
Whatever of moment develops
from the meeting of the British
premier and Hoover will have its
origin in that quiet period from
Saturday to Tuesday, when the
premier and his daughter, Miss
Ishbel, will return to the British
embassy.
After days of trimming and COM
parison, the state department and
British embassy devised a six-day
program of twenty-five separate en-
gagements. They range from in
formal luncheons to a White House
dinner planned for the evening of
Monday. Oct. Z.
At 2:30 p. m. Saturday, the pre-
mier and his daughter will step
from the clamorous atmosphere Of
curiosity which inevitably must sur
round them to the security Of the
White House. Monday, the premier
will visit congress. Over the week
end. two men who overcame humble
birth and poverty will chat. The
fate of nations may rest upon their
words.
The greatest and most interesting
mystery of all the naval nego-
tiations leading up to this visit does
not compare with the mystery
surrounding the conversational in
tentions of the two men who will
meet here next week. None in
washington knows just what they
intend to discuss.

GAS TAX BUREAU Is
UP WITH PAYMENTS
Claims Filed Now Will be Paid at
Once, Says Collector.

For the first time in several
weeks, the gasoline tax bureau of
the state auditors Office is caught
up with refund payments, it was
announced today by Leland Fish
back, state gasoline tax collector.
During the summer months, the
department was as much as six
weeks behind with payments of re-
funds to farmers. Fishback said.
This was due to the unprecedented
number of claims, which have run
as high as 1900 a month.
The great increase was attributed
TO addition of a cent to the tax
this year and the fact that many
farmers used gasoline instead of
kerosene in their tractors.
Claims filed now will be paid at
once, the refunds having decreased
sufficiently to make it possible, he
asserted.

Peter blinked. He blinked several
times. He looked back over to the tree
| where Wanderer the Evening Grosbeak
was sitting. and Wanderer was blink
ing. Then Peter looked back at this
noisy intruder He didn't know whether
| to be afraid or not. The tail looked IKE
| the tail of Jimmy Skunk. So did the
coat look like Jimmys coat. But this
visitors head was unlike any head that
Peter had ever seen anywhere. he
didn't know what to make OF 1t at all.
He was afraid. Yes, sir, he was afraid.
He crept down into that hole between
the stones. Then he turned with Just
his head out and watched this strange
creature.
Never had Peter seen any one act as
this stranger was acting. He would
back up until he backed into bush
or a little tree. then he would paw at
his head with his two front paws. Then
he would move ahead But as he moved
he continually bumped into things.
Every few minutes he would stop to
paw at his head Truly, it was strange
and rather frightening creature that
Peter was looking at.
Peters fears soon were overcome by
curiosity Apparently this stranger
wasn't paying any attention to any
thing CT anybody except MS own al
fairs Suddenly Peters eyes flew very
wide open. That was Jimmy Skunk
There wasn't the least bit of doubt
about it-that certainly was Jimmy
Skunk! Peter could see him clearly
now 1t was Jimmy Skunk with some
thing on his head
Peter hoped out. He was no longer
afraid. For goodness sake. Jimmy
Skunk. what has happened to you?"
demanded Peter. What are you acting
this way FORE"
But Jimmy made no reply. He
couldn't. Furthermore, he hadn't even
heard Peter. You see, Jimmy had a
glass jar slipped over his head. His
whole head was inside that jar. 1t was
a small jar and his head pretty well
filled it. He had been able to push his
head in, but now he couldn't pull it
out. Was ever any one in worse trOu-
bic? Peter. looking through the glass.
could see Jimmy Skunks head inside.
He could see the misery and fright in
J!mmy's eyes. He could see just how
hopeless he looked. And any one could
see how helpless he was. 1t was a
strange interruption to Wanderers talk
about the little people of the West. And
Wanderer knew no more about what to
do than Peter did Neither Of them
could help Jimmy Skunk.

who it was. He bounded away to GER

wall Not until he reached 1t did he
sit up to see who it was that had fright

Peter learned when he was very young
that the one thing and the only thing
to do is to make sure of safety first and
investigate afterward He could safely
sit up beside that hole and satisfy his
curiosity If it was no one he needed
TO fear it would be all right. If it was
an enemy. it would be all right. too. for
he would be where he could dive down
to safety

Peter Rabbit had been sitting for
some time near the old stone wall on
the edge of the Old Orchard. gossiping
with Wanderer the Evening GroSbcak.
Wanderer had been telling Peter of
some of the people he had met in his
travels and Peter had been SO interest
ed that he had quite forgotten where
he was. Suddenly he was startled by a
noise. It was an odd noise Some one
was coming along through the bushes
and making a lot of noise about it.
Peter looked around hastily He caught
