UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE BAD
CHAPS

Once upon a time, not so very
many years ago, when the sun was
shining in the woods and the birds
were singing, three Bad Chaps hap
pened to meet near a little brook
where they stopped to get a drink
and talk among themselves.
One Bad Chap was the Fuzzy
Fox. another Bad Chap was the
Woozie Wolf and the third Bad
Chap was the mewing Bob Cat with
a silly little tail no larger than your
thumb. Now, though in this story I
call these animals Bad Chaps, they
were no worse than many others.
The only bad thing the Fox, the
Wolf and the Bob Cat did, as far
as I know, was to try to catch Uncle
Wiggily And, l suppose, these AMI
mails did not think they were doing
anything bad to chase after the old
rabbit gentleman. II was their ma
ture and they couldn't help it. Only
it was bad for Mr.. LOngears and
he was always having to 60 through
many adventures to get away from
the Bad Chaps.
So this time when the Fox, the
Wolf and the Bob Cat met in the

Two More Chinese
Taken At Border

Little by little, last winters rush
OF Chinese to the county jail Is
being emulated by Orientals trek
king across the border for a fail
migration to Hong Kong, all ex-
penses paid by the United States
government.
Last night two more Chinese were
booked at the county jail by immi-
grafton officers on charges of illegal
entry. The two rejoice under the
names Ng Shing, 43, and Ng Sc You,
48.
Besides the Chinese, four Mexican
immigration prisoners were lodged in
jail last night. They were Arcenio
Auzeles, %; Gregorio Campo, II;
Ysa Rodriguez, SO, and Francisco
Sanchez, %.

him?" asked the Woozie Wolf.
What we ought to do is to catch
him and get some nibbles off his
ears"
Yes, but TO catch him we first
have TO see him. said the Fox.
Now, Mr.. Bob Cat, tell us where
you saw Uncle Wiggily and maybe
We can think of a way to catch
him"
Il saw him, little while ago"
mewed the Bob Cat, going down
the path in the woods to get his
evening paper. You know, he goes
each evening to get a paper to read
the Bedtime Story to Baby Bunty
and the other rabbit boys and girls.
He will soon be coming back this
way"
"Then we'll catch him" barked
the Fox, who was something like
red dog, but with a tail almost as
large as a busting brush. The Bob
Cat wished he had a tail like the
Fox but he had to take it out in
wishing. for his tail was SO silly
it would make you laugh.
How shall we catch Uncle Wig
gily when he comes back with the
Bedtiple Story paper?" asked the
Wolf.
Wen just hide behind the bushes
and wait" said the Fox. when
Uncle Wiggily comes along we'll
lump out and catch him.
VERY goodl" mewed the Bob Cat
Though, of course, if this happened
it would be very bad for Uncle Wig
gily. But let US be patient and see
what really took place
The rabbit gentleman hoped to
the store and bought three papers
with the Bedtime Story in. Oae
was for himself, one for his wife
and the other for Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wuzzy, the muskrat lady housekeep-
er, as they all liked to read the pa
per at the same time.
Coming home along the woodland
path all of a sudden Uncle Wiggily
saw a grasshopper lady sitting on a
stem of grass.
t"Oh, Uncle Wiggily," chirped the
grasshopper lady, please don't go
any farther along the path. There
is danger
What danger?' asked Mr.. Long
ears.
Danger from the Bad Chaps

chirped the grasshopper lady. Il
saw them hiding behind the bushes
waiting to catch you"
well, if you look now" said Un-
Gle Wiggily with laugh. 81 will let
you see me fool those Bad Chaps.
The other day I made a paper hat
for ,Squeakie Eekie, the cousin
mouse, to stop her crying. 1 will
now make a paper hat and fool the
Bad Chaps. Watch me-"

Art OF Making Friends

Curiously, with all the talk OF
modern advance in taking the in
itiative where something is to be
done about loneliness, a goodly por-
ton of our young women appar-
emily have not acquired the modern
trick of going after what they want
They still hold back, waiting for
something to turn up. Their loneli-
ness problem is exactly what it was
10, IL or Is years ago. They want
the same thing-boy friends, or,
preferably a boy friend, and they
don't know how or where to get
him.
On the other hand, automobiles,
dancing places, movies and theatres
are full of young couples who have
mastered the art of making friends
among the opposite sex. Those who
have the initiative TO go after
friends and the trick of popularity
that holds friends, have a glorious
time of It. The lonely outsider look
ing on is not cheered by the sight
or knowledge of the popularity of
others. That, in fact, is the hardest
part OF his or her cross.
That Elusive Something
The pity of it is that the good
timers may be no better looking,
no better dressed, of no better char
acter. which makes the lonely ones
own state more difficult of com
prehension to him or her. But the
others have something. Perhaps II
| is only "cheek." Perhaps 1t is the
gift of making everybody feel happy
with them. Perhaps II Is the in
tention to make themselves liked
and the fact that their wits are
trained in that direction. Perhaps,
indeed, ii may be that natural
possession to which some are born
popularity cannot escape them.
Speaking generally, however, and
in our particular tree era, a young
woman or a young man who makes
up his or her mind TO have friends
can have them. But they cant have

Beauty Hints
YOUR EXPRESSION

Your whole expression can be
changed in a moment by just the
change of your expression from a
scowl frown. or a look of depres-
sion or despair, to one of hope and
cheer.
When you are dressed for an oc-
casion upon which to create very
splendid impression, be sure to look
well to the expression you carry
on your face. 1t will change your
entire appearance.
F. dry putting on a thin
coating of cold cream before you
use your lipstick 1t will not be-
come caked and streaked but will
go on evenly and smoothly.

Strip Coal Mine Will
F., Be Operated at Beach

Beach, N. D., Sept. 28.-Conversion
OF the Gass coal mine near here from
shaft to a strip mine will be ef-
fected in the near future, according
to Jesse Howard and Grant Gass
Minneapolis. company officials.
A survey has shown that a 3O-foot
vein Of coal on the Gass property is
only IL feet underground. It is esti-
mated this vein will produce 10000
tons Of high-quality Ignite to the
acre.
The change to a strip mine will be
made In the interest of greater and
more economical production. Six
men were employed in the shaft mine
but many more are expected to be
needed to operate the strip mine.
A spur track of the Northern Pa
cific Railway company must be built
to the mine as the first step in the
conversion. A huge steam shovel
Will be used to remove the top soil
from the vein and to dig out the
coal.
