UNCLE WIGGILY AND
JACKIE'S PRESENT

When the last day came for the
Hollow Stump School, and Just BE-
fore the animal boys and girls III;
away their books for the Long
Vacation, it was thought to bc
quite stylish to give a present to
the Lady Mouse Teacher. Some of
the pupils brought one thing and
some another. so the presents
wouldn't be all alike.
Miss Mouse really didn t want
her school children to give her
presents. but thought it might maxi
them sad if she told them not to,
for such had been the way OF i.
for many years.
But one thing Miss Mouse was
very careful about. She would take
only simple little presents, such as
a flower picked in the woods, or
perhaps bright leaf or queer!y
shaped acorn from tree which
some boy or girl might pick up.
SO it was for this reason, to look
for a present to give his Lady
Mouse Teacher. that Jackie Bow
Wow was wandering in the woods
ono day about week before school
was to close for the Long Vaca'
ton.
81 don't want TO bring teacher
a flower barked Jackie softly 20
himself. ''That's all right for girls,
but not for a dog chap. And l
don't want to take Miss Mouse a
pretty leaf or funny stone or an

ooh, / think if you smell aroun
in the woods here you may find II
bone,' said Peetie. "I'm going
over on the other side of the woo
and look for one myself. If | find
a bone first. to give for presen,
to Miss Mouse, III bark twice like
this: Bow WOW! Wow bowl
"And if | find one first III
bark twice, in the same way" said
Jackie. ~ IN glad you told ne
about bone for a present for our
good, kind teacher. It's the best
thing we could give her.
"Surc." barkcd Poetic with Il
little laugh. "And if it happens
as il may, that Miss Mouse wouidn ,:
want the bones VIC bring her foi
last day presents why than we can
take them back again and gnaN
them ourselves. -
Surc!' bsrked Jackie and thea
he ran one way and Pcctic IAN til.
other way and they began sniffin-
and snuffing and mauling and paw
ing in the woods for bones.
Jackie found his bone present
first and il was such large bon,
that he uncovered. and he was st
excited about taking it 20 Miss
Mouse, that he quite forgot about
barking twice to let his brotiiel
Pcetie on the other side of th'
woods know about his good luck.
"I'll just dig this bone out ant
take it to school tomorrow sale
Jackie. For it was then late in th'
day, after school.
jackie dug and dug and dug Will
his paws and the bone seemed Il
get larger each moment. Then Jaeki'
took hold of il with his teeth an;
his paws and tried to pull il ont o
the earth. But he couldn t pull i
out of where it was buried in tn
earth.

RECORDS SHOW PRODUCTION OF
VALLEY DAIRY HERDS GROWING

Tho production of cows beiGg
tested in the Imperial County co"
testing association is steadily in
creasing. This is shown by cow
testing association records in the
farm ADVISORS office. These records
show that the average monthly but
terfat production of all cows test
cd during May 1929 was $40 OF
pound of buttcrfat per COW higher
than during May 1928. Since there
are 2915 cows in the association this
represents an increase of s1i.o
pounds of butterfat worth $il9.'6.
These records also show that TIE
production of leaders in the dairy
cow competition, for the six months
period December to May inclusive,
is larger this year than last yea
The record of the highest producing
COW this year is 417.9 pounds Of
buttcrfat, last year it was iO4.s
pounds of buttcrfat. The record of
the highest producing first calf
hcifer this year is 355 pounds Of
putterfat. Last year it was 2a,.
j Hp DtSt itCoiu tiS INV "'S"No'
producing cows in one herd this
year is 1908. Last year it was Only
1878.
These increases in production
have been made possible by Il great
or use of COW testing association
records. The high beef prices wh.rh
we arc now enjoying have cause!
dairymcn to Gull larger number OF
the cows which cow testing associa'
tion records show to be unprofit'
able.
The reports of the three COW
testers show that 76 herds were
tested during May. These herds con
taincd 2915 COWS and 249t COW
were tested this month. \ total ot
- of these cows produced +V

STAUNTONW Wars
ON TRANPERS

STAUNToN, Va, April 12.-Con
tinued violation of the city ordi
nance to prevent trespassing on the
Staunton, Va, municipal water
shed, in North River gap, some rs
miles from here, has resulted In
the drafting of a new ordinance
designed to put teeth" in the law.
Four Of the five members Of the
council have expressed themselves
as being in favor of passage of the
ordinance.
Under the proposed regulation,
which provides against hunting,
fishing, skating, ETC., on or near
the waters of North River for a
distance of five miles from the
municipal dam, violations will be
punished by a fine of not more
than 80 days or both fine and inn
prisonment at the discretion of the
judge.
Former efforts to prevent tres.
passing have been of the please
DON'T variety. with a view of
educating the public to observance
of the laws to prevent pollution
of the water supply.
Reports from the patrolman at
the dam, however, show that GER
tain persons, some from Staunton
and some from Mt. Solon, Va, have
entered the watershed to camp
and fish, refusing to leave when
asked to do so.

CITY HALL most
ANNOYING To
STAUNTON

sTAUNToN, Va, April H.
Staunton's white elephant con.
tinues to vex the city fathers. The
proverbial beast in this instance
takes the form Of the city hall.
known as the Beverley Theater.
At the last meeting of the city
council three suggestions were Of
fered for solution OF the problem
by Mayor Julius L. Witt.
First of the plans offered is to
sell the present building and erect
a modern municipal building.
The second suggestion is to make
such repairs to the building as are
necessary for continued use by the
public"
The third plan formulated by
the mayor, and the one which he
himself favors most, is that the
city remodel the building and ''oon-
vert it into a desirable commercial
property and municipal office build
ing combined"
On the first floor of the building
are located mnnlclpaI Offices lhc
corporation courtroom, etc. The
second floor is occupied by the
auditorium and stage Of the old
Opera House." at one time the
pride Of Staunton.
Until a short time ago the stage
was used for presentations Of bene-
fit theatricals and home talent
shows. Inspection engineers de.
clared the second floor of the build.
ing unsafe for public gatherings on
account of the fire hazard. Fire
escapes are inadequate and unsafe,
1t was stated, an6 the back-stage OF
the old theater has been described
as fire trap"
Office space In the building is
greatly cramped and city officials
are beginning to feel that their in
creasing amount of work calls for
larger quarters.
