When Uncle Wiggily awakened in
his hollow stump bungalow one
morning he heard Baby Bunty and
some of the other rabbit children
singing from their rooms.
"Goodie, goie lowie!

Uncle Wiggily. hopping out OF bed,
skipped to mis- window and saw that
the children were quite right.

said Mr.. LongearS looking down in
his yard. No more garden golf for

on as he looked at the Tom Thumt

Uncle Wiggily as Baby Bunty, Bus

No. we couldn't do that; would

said Buster 10 Custer.
"Oh, mol" echoed BABY Bunty
and she laughed.

oh, I'm caught in a trap? I'm
caught in a trap!" cried Mr.. Long
cars. There was trap under the
snow! I didn't see it and stepped
right into it! It's caught on my
paw and maybe I'll never get it off!
Oh! Oh"
With all his might Uncle Wiggily
lifted up the paw which had gone
into something that felt much like
trap. What kind it was Uncle
Wiggily couldn't see very well, be-
cause his paw and the trap was
hidden in a lump Of snow.
L must hop to my bungalow and
get my wife and Nurse Jane to help
me oft of the trap on my paw!
cried the poor rabbit. With the help
of his crutch he hoped home on
one paw, holding the other up high
with the snowy lump and trap on
it. His wife and Nurse Jane we're
so surprised.
oh, what a trap I'm in" cried
Mr.. Longears Nurse Jane got the
broom and brushed the snow off
the lump on the bunny's paw Then
she laughed, and so did Mrs. Long
cars and so did Uncle Wiggily. For
he had only stepped into the old
Noahs Ark that he used in his
baby golf game. His paw had gone
right through the roof and stuck
tnere. He had not seen the ark
because it was under the snow. So
it wasn't a trap at all. And soon
the bunny's paw was loose from
the little wooden house boat and all
was we'll. And if bed will please

tionally heavy food crops, but it was again accentuated in 1929.
 Such information as the league could obtain suggested that the manufacturing industry has pro- gressed more rapidly than the pro- duction of raw materials. Year by year, says the report, new econo- mics in industrial processes are effected and a larger product is ob- tained from given supply of raw materials.
 The iron and steel industry, the mechanical industry, including en- gineering, ship-building and auto mobile manufacture, and the cleo trical industry appear to have raised their production by 25 per cent or more between 1925 and 1929. with electricity recording nearly B per cent.
 In the textile group, the relative ly slow development of the cotton and wool industries has been only partly offset by an increase in the output of natural and artificial silk.

DROUCHT-HIT FATHER MISSISSIPPI
 CREAKS ALONG LIKE TNIID OLD MAN
By JAMES II. STREET GA. P. Staff Writer)

MEMPHIS, Tenn, August 21.- Father Mississippi ~has chang e d from roaring wet to a timid dry within few months, much to the concern of those who depend on him for their daily bread.
 Back in January, the old river got full when he wasn't supposed to, tumbled home to the Delta and left mud all over the place.
 Now he is so low that his banks are parched and boats have ter rible time getting along with him.
 Dangerous at flood stages, the river is terror to navigators when abnormally low. A long drought in the middle valley famished the Father of Waters and he dropped from more than flood stage at Memphis early this year to approxi- mately AS feet in July. That means that the river was slightly more than four feet above the low water mark.
 The Delta section reports crops literally burned up and the old man instead of rolling along, sneaks to the gulf.
 Navigation is surprisingly dan gerous Most traffic on the river is carried on by large steel barges tied together in tremendous tows. It is a hard job to get big tow up or down river when it is run ming a good stream, but to get one by at such low stages is almost mil raculous.
 The remarkable part of it is not that a few barges get pitched on sand bars, but that any of them get by at such low stages.

 Vesavius, truncated, would be but plug for Katmai, and the latter cut off and transported to Aniakchak would no more than form it's cork. Veniamenof is but slightly smaller than Aniakchak.

GENEVA, August 21.-The popu- lation of the world grew by ap- proximately 35 million between 1926 and 1928, an average increase of about one per cent per annum, a League of Nations memorandum on production and trade discloses.
 The rate of increase was highest in South America.
 World population in 1928 was about ten per cent greater than in 1913, while world production of foodstuffs and raw materials in the same period increased about 25 per cent and world trade grew about 9 per cent.
 The leagues experts found that in recent years the world produc- ton of foodstuffs has increased at a somewhat slower rate than that of industrial raw materials. The discrepancy was considerably re- duced in 1928 as result of excep-
