DAUGHERTY'.S BOOK

HAVING had foisted on it, first THE
ii Presidents Daughter, and then THE
Strange Death of President Harding"
the American public is now to be offered
"The Inside Story of the Harding Trag-
edy', due from the press in few weeks.
This of course will be the true story
of the Harding regime. 1t will bear the
hallmark of truth for its author is that
noble patriot and conscientious servant
of his country-Harry NJ. Daugherty, at
tornev general in the late Presidents
cabinet.
The author says in his preface that he
tells the story with but one purpose-tO
be truthful and fair. That is Just like
Daugherty. Honest, sincere, trustworthy,
loyal, he has no thought OF making any
money from the sale of his book. No
such ulterior motive can be attributed to
him.
Nor does ne seek vindication for him.
self. He will tell the true story of the
"Oho Gang"-of Charles R. Forbes,
Jesse Smith, Albert Fall, Thomas ".
Miller, Roxie Stimson and all the other
rascals who used the trust friend re-
posed in them, to betray their country as
much as Benedict Arnold ever did.
over the OIpSeS Ol utttu llel anu lllc
blasted lives of men stamped with the
stigma of convict, Daugherty plans to drag
a herring bone that will seek to remove
from the American people the stencil
which he and his henchmen raised a de-
cade ago.
Practically alone of all the rascals,
Daugherty has managed to escape
shameful and mysterious death or the
cell of felon. Kicked out of the cab
met by President Coolidge, defying the
government by his brazen destruction Of
the records of his Washington Court
house, Ohio bank, Daugherty now equal
ly as brazenly announces that he will
tell "the truth"
His contemptibleness is appalling. So
is his gall. Betrayer of friend and of
public trust, defer of his government,
violator of his oath, he dares to ask the
people of the United States to believe
that the truth is in him.
He dares to criticize President Hoover's
address at the dedication of the Hard
ing memorial earlier in the year and
magnanimously announces that he does
not intend to do anything to ieopardize
the Presidents chances of a renomina-
ton. He can't. He couldn't hurt the
chances Of one seeking to be elected dog
catcher, even in Washington Courthouse,
Ohio. Harry Daugherty is as dead as
his fellow rascals who lie beneath the
sod or who wear a felons stripes. And
being dead he must of necessity deal in
dead things.

Then Uncle Wiggily happened to
think that perhaps he should have
some one to help him.
II can't give n concert all alone,
he whispered. II need some othe.
musicians. I wonder where l can
find at least one to start with?'
Just then he looked over the
bushes on the edge of the woods
and he saw two horns sticking up.

There are two horns to start with.
I'll get them for my concert.

What with playing my music box,
humming, singing and whistling,
shall be very busy But perhaps l
can get my wife and Nurse Jane to
blow these horns. 1 might try
blowing one Of them now"
Uncle Wiggily reached over the
top of the bush and took hold OF
the two horns and right away a
voice mooed:
Hi there! What are you doing?
, Please let my horns alone!'
"Oh, I didn't know these were
anybody's horns!' exclaimed the
rabbit. Il thought I could take

You would have hard work &c

hind the bushes stepped a COW
lady. She payfully shook her horns
at Uncle Wiggily. What did yol
want of my horns?' she asked.
Then Mr.. LongearS explained
how he was going to be a mu-
sician in the New Year playing

UNCLE WIGGnY'S COW
ADVENTURE

Do you remember how, in the
story before this, told you about
Uncle Wiggilys music box? Very
good! I also mentioned that he
had an adventure with a COW lady,
but I did not have time to tell you
about it because I had to explain
about the music box.
Well, this is the tale of the rab-
bit gentleman's adventure with the
COW lady.
Mr.. Longears, having played mis-
Christmas music box until he had
made his wife and Nurse Jane
nervous from listening SO long to
one tune, had hoped out of his
hollow stump bungalow and was
skipping gaily over the fields and
through the woods.
Mr.. Longears was humming a
tune-the same tune he so well
played by turning the handle OF
his music box, and he said tc
himself:
Il should have been a musician
instead of just q story rabbit. Yes

Then Uncle Wiggily began to
whistle, though he had TO stop
humming to do this, and he was
a bit sorry for that.
But, no matter" he said. "One
cannot do two things at the same

Uncle Wiggily was very happy as
he hoped over the fields and
through the woods. He hummed,

There was no doubt that he had done

his dog that someone was menaclng hlm,
the Filipino whirled and stabbed his VIC

Possessing a small sum of money, be-

ing he had always loved animals and they
had always been his friends. He died on
the gallows but there was good in that
man.
In the courts of Los Angeles on Mon
day. three young men pleaded guilty to
first degree murder and were given life
imprisonment. They admitted killing
night watchman who encountered them
while they were attempting robbery.
One confessed that he drew his gun and
shot the watchman while the latter was

Two of them had been released from

Legal experts could no doubt explain

the other three are given life terms. One
killed in what he claimed to be defense

in the act of committing felony.
But no legal expert could ever make
US believe that the Filipino committed a
more serious crime than the others did.
Whether he was a Filipino, white man,

no difference. If he got what was COM

SHARP DROP In PRICE
OF MARYLAND SHEEP

The sheep raising industry in the
upper tier of Eastern Shore counties
of Maryland. long known for their
excellent flocks, is hard hit by pre-
vailing low prices for spring lambs
and the outlook for improbable
prices for the wool crop, according
to Fl. Stockton Startt, leading wool
grower and treasurer-elect of Kent
county, Maryland, and other pro-
ducers in this area. For several
weeks young lambs have been SELL
ing for around $5 at about 25 pounds
weight, which is approximately half
the 1929 price, and about $3.50 less
than last years prices. There is
considerable uncertainty in the wool
market, according to local buyers
who will be unable to quote prices
on wool until the market clears up
in Wholesale buying centers.
Because the prices of farm pro-
duce are dropping while the cost of
production remains about the same,
farmers in the vicinity of Millington
are facing what is believed to be
crisis.

MAN HELD IN GAS
REBATE PROBE
Pleads Guilty To Charges
OF False Pretensc And
Forgery At Dover

John NJ. Hudson. DagsbOro, alleg-
ed to have obtained money in the
form of gasoline tax rebate from the
State trcasurer's office and to have
committed forgery, was Jailed at
Dover, in default of $1,000 bail, i'm
posed by Magistrate w. d. Burton,
following a hearing Wednesday
night of last week.
Hudson is the first of an expected
series of alleged swindlers who will
be uncovered by the investigation
that is being conducted by the State
highway police. The investigation
was ordered by the treasurer's office
about two weeks ago when some of
the tax rebate accounts were under
suspicion.
The investigation uncovered al
legged bogus transactions by Hudson
and last week warrants for the two
charges were sworn out for the man.
He was arrested and on Wednesday
night pleaded guilty to both charges.
He failed to produce bond and was
lodged in Jail overnight.
The tax rebate involved is said to
amount to about S77. The rebate was
for gasoline sold for the Indian Riv-
er game preserve in Sussex county.
The forgery is said to have affected
three Sussex county citizens, in or
near Dagsboro.
