UNCLE WIGGILY IN THE STORE

Where are you going?" asked he
Lady Mouse school teacher in the
Hollow Stump School as she saw
Uncle Wiggily hopping toward the
door.
II am going to the store, =
answered the rabbit gentleman.
What for?' squeaked Miss
Mouse.
III hop out Of the door, and II
go to the store as soon as I can be-
fore!' spoke Uncle Wiggily, sort OF
singing a song.
Before what?' Miss Mouse
wanted to know
Before the store Closes Mr.
Longears replied. "Ha! Hal 7 will
help you give back to Jackie Bow
Wow the marbles you took away
from him"
oh, how kind you are!" muir
INJURED Miss Mouse and with a
handkerchief tied on the end of
her tail she wiped away the last
little, salty tear that came into her
eyes.
So Uncle Wiggily hoped to the
store.
How that came about was in this
way.
Mr.. Longears went to the Hollow
Stump School one afternoon. when
the classes were out and he found
Miss Mouse weeping behind her
desk. The reason she cried was
that, some time before, she had
taken some marbles away from
Jackie Bow Wow, the puppy dog

who was playing with them in class
behind his big geography book.
This was against the rules.
Now about Thanksgiving time
Miss Mouse always gave back to the
animal boy pupils any of their toys
she had taken away from them in
class. But when she looked in her
desk, to get ready tne marbles to
give back to Jackie, they were gone.
They had disappeared-yanished.
knowing how disappointed Jackie
would be not to get back his
marbles, Miss Mouse cried when she
could not find them as I told you
in the story last night.
Then Uncle Wiggily hoped into
the picture and he also hoped into
the Hollow Stump School, and when
he heard what trouble the Lady
Mouse was in the rabbit said he
would help her and give Jackie a
surprise.
So nov Mr.. Longears, true to his
promise, hoped cut of the school
TO go TO the store.
Wait here in your school for me,

marbles are the last Of the season. -

ACCUSED WINS ONE

QUITE often a person charged with a
serious crime is accused by innuendo
and inference Of being concerned in other
crimes. Particularly is this true in small
communities, where there are always
bound TO be unsolyed crimes.
Gossip and suspicion do their work and
it is not at all difficult to have all these
unSolyed crimes fastened on the accused
For good measure he may be declared
guilty Of setting the Chicago fire or start
ing the John Brown raid.
It appears rather remarkable to us,
therefore, that a jury UP in the San Joa-
Quin valley acquitted a man accused of
murder on a robbery charge.
Eleven men and one woman making up
the jury required but little time to bring
in verdict in favor of the accused
It may be that they honestly believed
him innocent, or it might be that they
figure the law will get him in the MUIR
der case which he must still face.
Reading the account of the case, we
wonder why he was first brought to trial
on the robbery charge Apparently it is
another one of those legal quirks which
are always ensnaring the layman who
tries to figure them out.

OIL FIELDS OF
 OKLAHOMA SHUT DOWN BY MURRAY
Soldiers Are on Guard as "Alfalfa Bill" Tries to Force Price of Oil to $l a Barrel
By GHORGE B. ROSCOE United PresR Stan COrremOndent

 oklahoma City, Aug 5.--CUP)- Soldiers stood guard to-day over the vast Oklahoma oil fields shut down by Governor w. H. (Alfalfa BilD Murray under martial law in a drastic attempt to save the states first industry by forcing the price of crude oil up to 8 dollar @ bar rel.
 The colorful governor called out his troops yesterday.
 "The states natural resources must be preserved and the price of oil must so to t1 g. barrel; now don't ask me any more damned questions" the fiery executive stormed as he sent his troops marching through the fields.

 Every we'll in the Oklahoma City field was shut down and Cicero l. Murray, the governors cousin. mobillzed additional forces in the Seminole area to close gushers there. Only stripper wells, with production of less than 25 barrels daily, were exempt from the sweep ing order.
 Murray's shutdown order and declaration of martial law came after major crude oil purchasing compa r,iea had sent prices uD from 22 to 50 cents within week but had refused to comply completely with the governors demand.
 The order was an outspoken in- dictment of Harry Sinclair, head of the Sinclair Consolidated oil companies. It charged the oil mag nate with attempting to influence members of the state legislature and said his company "flched from Oklahoma school children's legacy" through leasing of state school lands.
 Murrays order affected 3.106 flush wells in 27 pools. Hundreds of the wells. however, already had been closed voluntarily by their operators when the price of oil went as low as 22 cents a barrel,

 ON INCOME TAXES NOT EFFECTIVE
Attorney General Mitchell Does Not Believe They Are Sufficient for the Racketeers

Washington, Aug 5.-UP)-ln- come tax law prosecutions for racketeers who shoot down little children playing in the streets, aren't very effective, Attorney Gen eral Mitchell indicated to-day in placing respon nsibility for sangsters with state and city governments. He referred to the gangster gunfire in Harlem a week ago yes- terday which sprayed lead among playing children, killing one and wounding four.
 "There is not much comfort get ting racketeers under the income tax law when they are machine gunning little children in the street." he said.
 Racketeers. he said, are q pro- duct of city and state governments.
 i've always taken the position that the federal government can not take over the functions Of To- cal government. The problem Is a local one. The federal govern ment Is not in a position to take over local government even if It wanted to. It is not right to shoulder the problem on Uncle Sam"

GERMAN BANKS
 WERE REOPENED
 AND NO TROUBLE
Public Confidence in Ranking Authorities Disappointed Those Who Expected to See Riots
BY FREDERICK KUH

United Press Stan C0rrespondent)
 Berlin, Aug. 5.-(UP).-Reopen- ing to-day of all German private banks for all normal business, with 2600 municipal and other public savings banks expected to resume full payments Monday, revealed more public confidence in the banks than banking authorities them selves had felt.
 The opening was almost sensa- tionally tranquil, in contrast to the renewal of panic which had been feared by some/bankers.
 Several hundred policemen sta- tioned in the vicinity of the Berlin banks were idle, with no crowds or disorders to control.
 A tour of the banks by @ United Press correspondent showed not only an absence of the anticipated run but almost universally a Gub- stantial excess of deposits over withdrawals.
 Even the Darmstaedter Und Na- tional bank (Danatbank), closed on the fateful July 13 which saw Ger many's moment of greatest recent crisis, experienced almost no with drawals. Instead, 8 fair number of new deposits was reported.
 The Dresdner bank also an- nounced satisfactory influx of de- posits.
 Frankfurt. Cologne and other states reported similar conditions. The elaborate preparations of the government, Reichsbank and police to meet possible emergency proved superhuous.
 Government authorities and big bankers were both astonished and overjoyed.
 It was felt that Chancellor Hein- rich Bruening's radio speech last evening, voicing confidence and calling for self-help on the part of the German people while declaring against danger of currency imitation or other menaces, doubtless had calmed the public.
 Experts were agreed that to-day appeared to mark the end of the banking crisis, although fundamen- tai economic perplexities and polit- 1cal uncertainty persisted.
 A few banks had tested public feeling yesterday by voluntarily starting payments, including inter- bank transfers, ahead of schedule. Few customers showed disposition either to take out cash by this spe- cial dispensation, or to transfer their money from one bank to an- other. This had given a hint that full resumption of business per- haps would be less of an emergency than had been feared.

Paris.
