UNCLE wIGGILY FOOLS THE
FOX

Uncle Wiggily had a new friend
1t was box turtle, queer, Joll!
little crawling creature, not exactl.
a mud turtle, but. a sort of cousin
ard the box turtle could close itsel
up inside its upper and lower shells
which had lower hinged flaps bacl
and front SO that, truly, it was a:
though it had shut itself up in Z
box.
''That box turtle is one of the
most clever little creatures / have
ever seen,' said Uncle Wiggily, TAX
ing the animal out of his coat pock.
ct. Oh, yes, the rabbit gentleman was
so fond of his new friend that he
him everywhere he went, like
Mary's lamb.
AS / told you in the story before
this, one day Uncle Wiggily saw the
PUPPY dogs, Jackie and Peetie Bow
Wow, and Billie Wagtail. the goat,
playing duck on the rock III "a mead
CIV. For rock they were using the
box turtle, for that S just what he
looked like with his legs, tail and
head drawn inside his shell. And not
until the animal boys ran along TO
crawl away and then Uncle Wiggily
say what trick il had played, pre-
tending to be rock.
81 like you so much said the
rabbit gentleman, that ID like to
take you around with me in my coat
pocket, if YOU don't mind
'"Oh, j don t mind," croaked the
box turtle, sticking out its head
long enough to speak. "Only you
must sometimes let me crawl in the
grass to get something 10 eat.
"Oh, surely!' promised Une / g
Wiggily.
So the rabbit gentleman had new
friend and very proud he was Of
the box turtle. Not too proud, you
know, but just proud enough. And
the box turtle was very glad to rid,
around in the rabbits pocket, now
and then being put down to craw
Ia the grass TO eat worms, berries
and insects.
One day while Uncle Wiggily was
hopping over the fields and througi
the woods 10 look for an adventure
he took with him his new friend
the box turtle.
~ should think you would b'
afraid squeaked Nurse Jane Fuz
~ Wuzzy, the muskrat lady house
keeper.
'Afraid of what 20 asked the rab
bit.
Afraid of that box turtle biting
or scratching you went on Nurse
Jane. 81 He has sharp claws on hi,
toes, as ! can see when he sticks his
legs out of his shell, and he has a
mouth that bites. -
"But IN never bite or scratch
Uncle Wiggily,'i croaked the turtle
"When I'm riding around in his
pocket ] never SO much as stick my
head or claws out for fear of tear
ing his coat. .
THAT IS right, you re good box
turtle!' spoke Mr.. Longears.
SO when he was hopping across
the field this day, all Of a sudden
the box turtle in his pocket spoke
and said
81 am hungry. Would you mind
putting me down in the grass, where
! may crawl around and get some
thing to eats'
"Why, of course II do that,
said Uncle Wiggily, kindly. "1'l
sit here ON this stump and watcl
you eat. =
When the box turtle was frs
placed on the ground with its head
tail aud legs drawn within its up
per and lower shells, il looked muci
like black and yellow stone. Bu'

Sentiments

The Spokesman Review carried
the following editorial in. their
Tuesday issue:
"All over north central Washing
ton," remarked the >Wenatchee
World in an editorial, Owners are
putting in new irrigation water
systems or adding to those already
installed"
The people of that region, an
empire in area, have been driven
to the sound conclusion, well sum-
med up by the Wenatchee daily,
that ga dependable and adequate
supply of water for irrigation is
the best insurance for any farm
ing or fruit-growing- operations.
AS dry farming becomes more haz-
ardous, attention is naturally turn
ed toward irrigated agricultural
production"
All along the Columbia and its
tributaries, from the Okanogan to
Hood River, the contrast is vivid
between the unfailing abundance
of irrigated acres and the meager
and often heart-racking WELD of
desert lands without irrigation.
Okanogan, Wenatchee, Yakima,
Pasco and Kennewick tell the same
inspiring story of deserts conquer
ed by reclamation.

Risks Ship in Typhoon
to Save Fishers Live

Vancouver, B. Glow Capt. M. j..
Harris, skipper Of the steamship YER
non City, ri%Sed his ship in terrific
typhoon to rescue II Japanese from
what appeared to be certain death in
the Japan sea, was revealed here in
wireless dispatches.
The Vernon City was on her way
here from her Oriental voyage.
She ran into the storm on her way
from Korea to Japan but was riding
it out comfortably when the lookout
reported a small fishing vessel in diff
flculties.
Captain Harris bore down on the
craft and found it was sinking. Re
alizing no lifeboat could live in the
seas that tossed his own ship like a
cork, Captain Harris decided to try
the rescue with his own vessel.
After several attempts he was able
to drift his ship close enough to the
wreck to give it lee under the big
vessels heavy steel walls. Then with
lines from the deck of the Vernon
City the seamen hauled the japanese
aboard.
