but she wouldn't talk. That is, she
wouldn't say any words you could
understand.
Instead Of saying: Mama.
Papa! I love you! I am hungryl"
the doll would shout:
"Wabbol Hoodah! Ginga zoolai
Slam bungly!"
Now that was no way for a nice
doll to talk and Dabby knew it.
"Oh, dear" said the little rabbit
girl. II guess my talking doll is
broken. "I'll ask Dadicums to
mend it,"
Dabby took her doll to Uncle
Wiggily.
Whats the matter with her?'
asked the rabbit gentleman.
Something inside her is
broken" Dabby answered. "She
can't talk any more, listen:'
Dabby wound up the spring,
pressed on the button and from
the doll came sounds like:
Hannibal Popgun Stub boo
Ham juggery!"
"Oh, I see what the trouble is
chuckled Uncle Wiggily. "The
phonograph part of your doll is
broken. I'll mend it for you"
Can you?" asked Dabby.
"I can and will" said Uncle
Wiggily. you run out and play
and I'll mend your doll" So he
started at work. And what hap
pened next I'll tell you Saturday
night. Then the story will be
about Uncle Wiggily and the sur
prised Fox.
And please don't let the gold
fish roll itself up in the window

Where do you think founo
Lucy dabbling now," Nurse Jane
would ask Mrs. Longears.
81 can't imagine" the rabbit
lady would say.
"She was dabbling in the wash
basin in the bath room, pretend
ing to be cleaning her teeth, but
she was getting very wet spoke
Nurse Jane. II made her stop but
a little later I found her dabbling
in your talcum powder, sprinkling
it all over the piano"
"Oh, dear mel" cried Uncle Wig
gilys wife. "Dabby is good name
for our little rabbit child"
So Dabby she was called.
Now Dabby had doll that came
to her at Christmas, and she was
very nice doll. She had blue
eyes and golden hair and red
cheeks. But, best of all, Dabby's
doll had a voice. Yes, the doll
could talk.
Now, of course, I don't mean
that Dabbys Christmas doll could
talk as you can. Oh, no, indeed
Dabby's doll could say:
"Mama Papal love you. /
am hungry"
That's enough for any doll to
say, I think. Anyhow it was all
the talking Dabby's doll could do
and the only reason she could do
this much was that she had lit
tie phonograph, or talking ma
chine inside her. The phonograph
was in the dolls stomach, and
when Dabby wound up her toy
doll, by means of a key in her
back, and then pressed on a
spring in her head, the doll be-
gan to talk, saying over and over
again: ....
"Mamal Papal I love you. I
am hungry"
For a while, after Christmas,
everything was lovely with Dabby
and her doll The toy child talked
over and over and over again all
the words she could say and
Dabby loved her very much. Some
times Dabby would feed her doll
with prunes. or spinach or tomato
juice-things that Dabby should
have eaten herself, but which she
didn't like.
81 don't see how anyone can eat
spinach, Dollie," Dabby would say
But Pm sure you like it so you
may have my share" And the dol
ate it very nicely.
Now whether it was because ol
too much spinach or too many
prunes / can't say, but, after g
while Dabby's doll wouldn't tall
any more. She would lie down
close her eyes and go TO sleep

UNCLE WIGGILY AND
DABBY'S DOLL

Once upon a time there was
little rabbit girl named Dabby
She was one of Uncle Wiggily's
little rabbit children and lived
with him and her mother and
Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy in the
hollow stump bungalow.
Dabby wasn't the real name OF
the little rabbit child. Her real
name was Lucy Esmerelda, but
that was rather long name. to
Use so it was changed to Dabby.
The reason the name of Lucy
Esmerelda was changed to Dabby
was because Nurse Jane used to
say that Lucy dabbled first in one
thing and then she dabbled in an
other and then she dabpled in
something else so Dabby seemed
to be very good name for her.

NOT UP TO CONGRESS
W. c. COSTELLO
Manager

DEQUEST for legislation to combat
IN the racketeer, has been filed with
congress by the leader of Chicago's Sec
ret Six vigilance committee, represent
ing his own community and several other
large mid-western cities
Robert Isham Randolph presented to
startled committee, details of scores
of crimes involving sudden death, kid
naping, eXtortion and torture, press dis
patches report.
One wonders just why congress should
be asked to take any action in this re-
spect. Certainly we already have laws
against murder, kidnapping. eXtortion and
torture. Passing new ones will do no
good, and that IS about the limit of the
powers of congress.
1t may be inveigled into appropriate
ing money to curb the racketeer, but we
hope not.
This is a job that is distinctly up to
the communities and the various states.
They have laws sufficient to take care
of any requirements, and they are
equipped with law enforcement machin-
cry to arrest and punish those who vio-
late the law.
If this is not done by the state and
municipal organizations there is little
congress can do about it. These COM
munities might be placed under martial
law, but if they were there would be a
terrible howl from the businessmen and
citizens who now countenance the rack
eteer by their indifference and more
bowling by public officials who would
readily declare that the federal govern
ment was usurping their rights.
There are various crimes such as mail
robbery and counterfeiting, which, be-
cause of their nature, must be cared for
by the federal government. And it does
a very efficient job in this respect.
But curbing the bootlegger, the gun
man and gangster-all who may be con-
sidered racketeers is not the federal
governments job. The communities and
states can do all the curbing necessary
if they desire to do so
Congress might better be opportuned
to pass legislation requiring city and
state officials to perform the duties for
which they have been elected.

NOT so BAD

JUST how irreligious, cynical and scott
y ing are we?
On every side we hear so much about
failing to go to church, forgetting the
old idealism and seoffing at religion and
religious things in general, that one
could really be excused for thinking that
the big majority of us are a lot OF
pagans
But are we as irreligious as we like
to pretend we are?
Evidently not. Last night a local pic
ture house showed among other things,
an excellent selection of scenes from the
Holy Land. accompanied by an explain
atory talk describing the various scenes
and recounting something of their his
tory.
1t was remarkable that during the pre-
sentation of the film there was not a
disturbing sound. Even the youngsters,
who do not hesitate to guffaw right out
at the least prOvocatiOn, were silent and
followed the picture as closely as their
elders.
And these latter quite evidently en-
joyed the film thoroughly, for at the end
there was a sharp outburst of applause,
something the theatre manager reports
does not happen except in rare cases.
Ue 1IlIll NoS NCll pI NoSllISNa' iiSAN
was nothing that could give Offense to
any denomination, and the talk accom-
panying it added much to the knowledge
of the audience concerning one of the
most interesting spots in the world.
Not only did the film prove that peo-
pie really like this sort of thing, for the
applause was GENIAL and not confined to
any small number, but it also indicated
the field there is for this sort of film
in the motion picture industry. 1t can
sell more of them and do much greater
good than any dozen of Red Hot Ma
mas" that can ever be produced.
1t proved also, that down underneath
our cynicism and our scoffing, the old
lessons learned as youngsters have not
been forgotten. We like to play we are
tough but when good comes up before US
we not only recognize it but we like it.
This may be considered advertising
for film but such films are worth ad-
vertising. Heaven knows we need them.

REPORT NO SEEDING
50 FAR IN BURLE|GH
Work to Begin Soon, However;
Sub-Soil Moisture is De-

Though many farmers in the Bis
marck area have been making prep
arations to begin seeding during the
last few days, County Agent H. o.
Putnam and other authorities said
Friday they knew of no actual seed
ing work having been started in
Burleigh county yet.
Seeding, however, is expected to
be general in the county within the
next few days.
Following three extremely dry
years, moisture in the sub-soil this
spring is declared "fair" by leading
farmers. They say the moisture is
greater this year than last.
Smoke from burning leaves and
grass in the city the last few eve-
nings is further evidence that the
growing season has begun.
Residents have been busy raking
lawns and burning dead leaves and
grass in preparation for grass and
garden seeding. Vegetable gardens
are expected to be more numerous
in the city this year than ever be-
fore.
Grass will be seeded as soon as
possible on that part Of the Bur-
leigh county courthouse property
which was not seeded last year, A.
c. Isaminger, auditor, said Friday
Grass planted last spring on part Of
the property following completion Of
the new courthouse was extremely
successful, resulting in q firm turf
this spring, the auditor said.
