Uncle Wiggily sat on the front
porch of his hollow stump bunga-

which he sometimes called his
ocean as he once put salt in it just
like the real ocean. And not only
did Uncle Wiggily put salt in the
duck pond ocean, but he had Mr.
Whitewash, the jolly old Polar Bear
gentleman, sozzle himself up and
down in the pond to make waves,
such as all oceans have.

Business Light

Residents apparently were able to
resist temptation during the month
of August as records at the office
of I. Mayfield, justice of the peace,
show the lightest month in fines
and fees since 1927.
The total for the month was S319,
a larger portion of which resulted
from traffic fines.
Civil fees brought in $101, traffic
fines $253, and miscellaneous
charges melted $25, making a total
of 1919.

 Nothing occurred iE the outside news overnight to affect price move- ments but important interests, ex- pecting further liquidation at the opening, were prepared with impor- tant buying orders. This served to stem the tide of liquidation which swept the market earlier in the week. The market showed no disposition to rally with much en- thusiasm and leading issues drifted in a narrow range through the first half hour of trading.
