he took the bowl of goldfish from

"Oh! OH" loudly chartered

Johnnie. IN .-s., ..t.e
Wasn't Uncle WiggiIy good to

Yes, here is a little table 1 will
set the bowl on" Mrs. Bushytail
promised, moving it close to the
bed.
The fish chased each other
around in the water, playing tag,
hiding in the green weeds and
darting in and out through the
windows and doors of the little
stone fairy castle.
What funi" cried Johnnie.
How jolly" said Billie. The
eyes of the squirrel boys tWInkled
in delight as they watched the
fish.
Now you 60 lie down and rest,
whispered Mr.. Longears to Mrs
Bushytail. I'm sure you must
be tired with looking after Billie
and Johnnie. I'll sit here with
them, but I won't have to tell then
any stories. They'll be SO inter
ested watching the fish,"
Thank you, I will lie down,
chartered Mrs. Bushytail.
For some time Uncle Wiggily sa
, near the bed while Billie anc
Johnnie watched the swimming
fish. They were so good and quie
that Uncle Wiggily fell asleep. Blu

eyes just in time to see the squir

"Oh! Oh! Mustn't do that' crieC

SOUTHERN ROUTE
BOOSTERS TO BE
HERE THURSDAY

The Broadway of America high
way motorcade is headed this way
and will arrive in Ell Centre at 2:20
p. m. on Thursday, May II accord
ing to President F. o. Mackey who
is heading this cross country cara
van. The motorcade, like great
ball rolling down a hillside, will
gather momentum and greater
number of cars as the motorcade
nears the Pacific coast.
One of the most unique features
of the motorcade which left New
York Tuesday, May 3, is the beauti-
full centennial car of the Hot
Springs Chamber of Commerce
which is known as the Silver
Sreak," and has recently been ex-
tensively used during the celebra-
tion of the Tooth anniversary of
Americas oldest national park at
Hot Springs.
This attractive car of silver and
blue is being driven by Scott D.
Hamilton, manager of the Hot
Springs Chamber of Commerce, ac-
companied by Mrs Hamilton. The
car is especially equipped for this
trip with a complete amplification
system capable of furnishing music
, and other entertainment for the
motoreade. Band music and other
musical features will be broadcast
along the route, with special con-
certs in communities where time will
permit.

looks as if the spring publishing

about 1900 publications. Had it not

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
SQUIRRELS

Uncle Wiggily knocked on the
door of the Hollow Tree House
where Johnnie and Billie Bushy-
tail, the squirrel boys, lived with
their father and mother.
Who is there?" asked the voice
of Mrs. Bushytail.
Uncle Wiggily," answered the
rabbit himself. How are Billie
and Johnnie?"
"Oh, they can't come out to play
with you, I am sorry to say" an

and they keep teasing for more.
Perhaps you know some stories I

Mothers Program
At Lions Club

v. E. Butterworth, pastor of the
State Street Christian church, gave
a Mothers day program for the
Lions club at the meeting yesterday
in the Barbara Worth hotel.
Taking the word mother, he
described the various types of
mothers for which the letters
stand, as M, modern mothers, old
fashioned mothers, trifling mothers,
heroic mothers, eternal mothers and
rewarded mothers. His talk was
both interesting and inspirational.
Mrs. T. S. Cook sang a Mothers
day song, Mrs. Phillips playing her
accompaniment. Jack Harner was
chairman of the day.
Visiting Lions were E. S. Elder
of Riverside, Lester Eichold of I'M

ments which are set forth in support Of
the desirability of divorce.
The observation is prompted by glanc-
ing through the detailed testimony in the
CostellO-Sherman case at Los Angeles,
as recorded by coast newspapers.
Based on the estimate which we have
of the average newspaper readers intel
ligence, we canot see the desirability of
printing such drivel.
Granting that divorces may be desir-
able in some cases, we cannot agree that
the feelings of the principals involved
Justify them in exposing to the world the
most intimate details of their family life
as is so often done and as has been done
in the case mentioned.
If such principals have no respect for
each other, they should at least have
some for themselves. They may be mad
as hornets at each other, but they are
still supposed to be ladies and gentle
men and would no doubt resent the ac-
cusation that they are not.
Nevertheless they seem to forget or
wilfully disregard all the principles of
decency and propriety when they get on
the witness stand. They certainly disre-
gard the fact that at one time they must
have had at least a high regard for each
other, or there would have been no we'd
ding.
In singing them out for censure, it
would be unfair to administer it and let
the matter rest there. They are not the
only offenders of public decency. The
newspapers who print the sort of stuff
they tell on the witness stand are every
bit as bad as the principals. There is
no need for it and we do not believe that
newspaper readers want it.
A newspaper cannot help but lower
its standards by opening its columns to
such trash.
