BEDTIME STORIES
BY HOWARD f. GARRIS
Copyright, 1928, BY Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate

I cool and dark, Peetie was eating
away at the bones. He thought it
was a very good start for his ad-
venture. But, all of a sudden
when he had eaten two bones and
was reaching for a third, Peetie
heard a noise behind him.
Who is there?' he asked
quickly.
Il ami" answered a voice. "But
who are you?"
Il am Peetie, the puppy" was
the answer. Cant you see me?"
No, can't see you, went on the
voice, which was now close to the
little bone-gnawing dog.
Why not?" asked Peetie.
Because I am a mole" was tie
answer, and we moleS are blind
We have no eyes. But then We
don't need them for We always live
underground in the dark. Eyes
would be of no use to us. We get
about by smelling, so our nose Is
as good as eyes would be-
That's very clever barkec
Peetie. will you have some
boneS?"
Thank you, no. We moles don't
eat bones. We live on worms, bugs
and roots" was the answer. But
go ahead, eat as many bones as
you like and I'll dig myself another
tunnel. I'm after a worm now but
ne is trying to crawl away from
me-"
rs this your tunnel hole?" asked
Peetie as he began on another
bone.
"Oh, no." replied the blind mole.
This tunnel is much too large for
me. 1 only make one about the
size Of my own body, about two
inches, you know. Well, enjoy
yourself"
II ami" sid Peetie with a laugn
and he ate more bones until. after
a while, he heard Uncle Wigglly
at the end of the far hole calling.
Where are you? Where are you,
Peetie?"
Down in the bone hole" an
swered the little dog. I'm having
a dandy adventure down here.
Come onl" ,rSieHa
"All right" answered Uncle
Wiggily, TO whom holes, or bur-
rows, were an old story. Stand
out Of the Way" A moment later
Uncle Wiggily jumped down into
the hole where Peetie was and soon
after that they had a very strange
adventure. I'll tell you about it
tomorrow night.
Then the story will be named
Uncle Wiggily in trouble. And
please ask the sugar bowl TO stop

TRAFFIC OFFICER
REINSTATED BUT
GETS A Soaring

Paul Brown, laid off the state
traffic force here some time ago
because of state campaign 10 eul
expenses, was summoned TO the
office of the California highway
patrol recently to receive official
notification from Sacramento on Ms
application for reappointment.
Solemn glances from clerks and
other officers accompanied the act
of handing letter, apparently
quite official to Brown In the
midst of a deep, dark silence Brown
opened the letter. As he read the
silence grew even deeper.
Sacramento officials were sorry.
the letter said, but Browns habits
and associates were such that re-
appointment was impossible. Still
the silence prevailed.
Then someone chuckled, and the
silence was ended. Brown was
handed another communication
this time boni fide one, which
confirmed his appointment, and di-
/ rected that he report for duty at
once.
The mystery was cleared up when
it became known that the first let
ter had been prepared at the local
traffic office, and was quite unof-
/ ficial. Brown had assumed all his
| former duties today.

I'll gnaW bones while Uncle
Wiggily nibbles clover" said Peetie
So down he jumped as l told
you in the story last night, land
ing with his four paws on a soft
pile of dirt at the bottom of the
hole. At first it was quite dark
there. but Peetie didn't mind, for
dogs and cats like to roam about
after dark Their eyes can see
better than ours when the sun
goes down.
Those bones certainly smell
good!' whined Peetie as he stood
still a few moments, after jumping
down the hole. The reason he stood
still was to let his eyes get used to
the dark. He had come in out OF
the bright sunlight and, just as
when you go in the dark movie
theatre from the streets at first
you can't see much. But, after a
while, you can see better.
And now I can see pretty well,
said Peetie to himself as, having
waited a bit, he looked down the
hole and saw that it was like q
tunnel which the railroad train
sometimes runs through. u guess, '
thought the puppy, the bones
must be at the far end of this
hole
well, it will not take me long
TO 60 get them and after I eat all
I want III climb up out of the hole
and go adyenturing with Uncl.
Wiggily again. I guess by that
time he will have finished nibbling
his sweet, green clover.
The hole in the ground was not
very large, but then Peetie was not
very big puppy dog, so he had no
trouble walking along it toward
the far end where the delicious
smell of bones was much stronger.
BY this time Peeties eyes could see
quite well in the dark hole.
4 wonder who left all these
bones here" murmured the puppy
cog as he came to quite a large
pile of them in a corner. "It looks
as if a dozen dogs had been bring
ing bones here for a long time.
There are more than I could gnaw
in a week I hope whoever owns
them will not mind if / eat a few" "
Feetie was now very hungry,
though it wasn't so very long since
he had eaten his breakfast to come
adYenturing with Uncle Wiggily.
Not stopping any longer TO guess
who might own the bones, Peetie
began to eat some from the pile.
I guess they're Just adventure
bones, SO it's all right for me to
take some," he said with a laugh.
So, down in the hole, which was

ADVERTISING RESULTS

MERCHANTS will find food for
II thoughtful consideration in the state
ment issued yesterday by the American
Newspaper Publishers association, rel
ative to the efficacy of newspaper ad-
VertiSing, even during these troublesome
days.
The report shows that % large COM
panieS that maintained or increased their
newspaper advertising during 1881,
showed a drop of only per cent in net
income as compared with the preceding
year.
An equal number of concerns of rel
ative size, which cut down on their ad-
Vertising for 1881, suffered a loss of IS
per cent in net income. The difference
between per cent and rs per cent is
tremendous and few firms can withstand
such shrinkage in income.
And despite all the talk of depression,
the report shows that one automobile
concern increased its newspaper budget
SO per cent during 1881 and also boosted
its net income Al per cent. Similarly a
refrigerator manufacturer. dealing in a
field where competition is unusually Sc
we're, spent 100000 on newspaper ad-
Vertising and his sales were AGO per cent
of sales in 1880.
Taking four tobacco companies man.
ufacturing popular brands of cigarettes
and tobacco, the report shows that three
experienced an increase in earnings and
one a slight decline. Four companies in
the same line which decreased their ad-
vertising, showed combined loss of 40
percent IN net income.
There is no reason to question these
figures. The American Newspaper Pub
fishers association can afford to be frank
and its report has not been colored. Its
reputation is unchallenged and its state
ments are accepted as true.
Merchants who complain that volume
IS falling off, might find the cause in
their reduction of advertising. If peo-
pie do not know what the merchant has
to sell. they will not go to buy. The
best way he can tell them is through his
home town newspaper.

GETTING out the vote IS always a diff

Coming almost on the eve of the holi-

CHICAGO. June %. - Last night
the lid was off for the first time IN
the 1892 convention season. Demo-
Gratis paraded the street, hotels,
restaurants, everywhere. A band
was allowed to play in the lobby
of one of the more dignified hotels,
which never before permitted such
a thing. 1t was a Jews harp band.
Governor Roosevelt's gesture
toward relaxing the two-thirds rule
fight gave the favorite son candi-
dates a new lease on life. Reed
men were button-holding every
where. Massachusetts staged eau
Gus parade from one hotel to an
other in behalf of Smith. The
Massachusetts delegation seemed to
have only a few descendants Of the
Pilgrim fathers in it-or if there
were many they didn't parade.
The ByrG forces, on the other
hand, were surely blue bloods. The
Richmond Blues were the most
conspicuous representation on dis
play. Tall, handsome, southern
gentlemen in their blue and white
uniforms, they easily could be
pictured as the sons and grand
sons of men who rode with Juba.
