| with his head tilted back while he
looked all through that tree. At first
he didn't think to look at the new
| house up there. When at last he did
! look he discovered Spooky the Screech
| Owl right away Spooky was peering
out of the entrance.
Then Farmer Browns Boy under
stood. "Sot" he exclaimed. you've
| stolen Happy Jacks new house. Happy
Jack made such fuss that he brought
all the others and all they needed was
to see you in order to keep their
tongues going Spooky, you're not at all
popular if 1 know anything about 1t.
I'd like to know what you are doing
in that house anyway. You lived so
long over in that hollow apple tree that
1 thought you would stay there for the
rest of your life. You don't know 1t,
but that house was my Christmas pres
ent to Happy Jack I'm afraid I'll have
to take hand in this. Much as dis
like to interfere, I can't have you steal
ing my Christmas present from Happy
Jack"
Farmer Browns Boy began to climb
UP the tree and all the little people
became even more excited. They knew
he was going to climb up to the house.
They wondered what Spooky would do.
They wondered what Farmer Browns
Boy would do in case Spooky did moth
ing. So it was very exciting time.
When Spooky the Screech Owl saw
Farmer Browns Boy coming he backed
into the darkest corner of the house.
He hoped Farmer Browns Boy hadnt
seen him. He hoped very much that
Farmer Browns Boy hadn't seen him.
He stopped swapping his bill. He kept
perfectly still. And then without any
warning at all light came pouring into
that little house which but moment
before had been dark. You see, there
was a door on the back side and Farmer
Browns Boy had opened that door. He
reached in and despite the kissing and
swapping of Spooky he picked Spooky
up.
My, my, my, my, how excited those
little people were when they saw Spooky
being carried away by Farmer Brown S
Boy! They all followed along to see
what was going to happen. That Is, all
but Happy Jack and Chatterer. Happy
Jack waited only long enough to make
sure that the way was clear before
climbing up and into that house. He
intended to keep it this time If he had
to stay there all day.
AS for Spooky, where do you think
he was being taken to? He was being
taken straight back to his old home
in the hollow tree of the Old Orchard.
And there Farmer Browns Boy left him,
grumbling and mumbling to himself.

Ralph w. Webster, coroner's

Wisconsin Dream Could Not
Go in Effect for Five
Years.
OPPOSED By MAJORITY
Dry Officials Say Supreme
Court Already Has Ruled
Against Proposal.
BY WILLARD r. SMITH
United Press STAFF Correspondent

MADISON, Wis, June 19.-Those
who have dreamed with State Sen
ator Bernhard Gettleman of a wet
utopia in Wisconsin will have to
wait at least five years to see that
dream fulfilled, legislative experts
declared today.
Even, If favorable action is taken
by the present legislature and that
appears improbable, it will be at
least 1884 before the seate Consti-
tuition can be amended and court
battle won in the Milwaukee solon'S
plan TO put the state in the liquor
business, even Gentleman admitted.
Amendment Introduced
Gentleman Tuesday introduced
a proposed constitutional amend
ment to permit the commonwealth
to manufacture, transport and sell
Intoxicating liquors.
His proposal was based on the
theory of J. Gilbert Hargrove,
former president of the Milwaukee
Bar Association, that the eight
zenith amendment does not curb
the right of states to traffic in
liquor.
Wet leaders could count on Secur-
ing only an even dozen votes for the
proposition. The remainder of the
thirty-three senators had indicated
they would vote no"
Hope for Converts
Gettleman's supporters, however,
predicted that if Hargrove, an
outstanding constitutional lawyer,
would appear before senate commit
tee hearings, he would win num-
Der of converts to his theory.
Gentleman thinks the Anti-Saloon
League should favor his plan in that
it would eliminate possibility OF
saloons. He urges State-operated
distilleries and brewerieS with a
"delivery-to- your door" system un-
der state supervision.

American Envoy Declares
Naval Experts Views to
Be Discarded.
BY WEBB MILLER
United Press STAFF Correspondent


LONDON, June 19.-Great Britain
faced the naval arms reduction
problem with new determination to-
day, bolstered by the assurances of
the qualified representatives Of the
two leading naval powers that they
proposed to tackle the matter in
concrete way.
Charles G. Dawes, United States
ambassador, utilized his speech be-
fore the Pilgrims Society here Tues
day night as the time for declaring
the principles which should govern
future disarmament discussions.
Human nature, and not The doc
trineS of naval experts, should gov
ern those negotiations, he said.
Simultaneously, Prime Minister
Ramsay Macdonald told the town
council of Lossiemouth. Scotland,
that Great Britain and the United
States wish the entire world to join
them in working for international
peace. and that neither government
has any intention of offering a fat
ana final proposition to others.
Dawes, in his first public utter
ance as ambassador. went to elab-
crate pains to explain why naval
experts should be left out of future
conferences of naval reductions and
why statesmen should take the init
alive in such moves.
The naval man. he said, rightfully
is trained to make his country Sc
cure against attack and, other things
being equal, anything less than a
superior navy is abhorrent to him.
1T is the duty of the statesman
to remove his state from the danger
of attack" Dawes told the Pilgrims
Society. which had as guests
numerous members of the British
admiralty and the ambassadors
from France, Germany, Belgium,
Brazil and Japan.
