so. Unless the child is in danger Of

During one of my visits to the

called the International Library for
Children) as a meeting place for mem
bers of the Corner family on four after
moons during July.
The dates are July 6, 13, 20. and n,
and the hours will be between and
o'clock in the afternoon. An easy way
to remember will be "any Thursday
afternoon during July, between pm
and pm.
I am planning to have big book in
which those who visit me can write
their names and addresses; and also
plan to have on hand set Of Corner
scrapbooks going back to the beginning.
If you are member OF the Scrapbook
Club, we can talk together about in
dexing and other problems Of keeping
your scrapbook, and Of how to form a
branch Scrapbook Club in your neigh
borhood. I shall have the latest Col

The most important thing, however,
will be that we can talk together like

ETTY BEAR was having a won

n to climb and it was great fun.
IL It was a hemlock tree she was
in, and not very big one, for
Mother Bear had picked that tree out
for her to climb. You see, it was Betty
Bears very first climb. Until now a
tree had been just something to avoid
humping into.
At first she was very careful, hang
ing on for dear life. Every time she
moved up little higher she had q
new thrill, a funny little thrill of ex-
citement that seemed to run all over
her clear to the ends of her toes.
Gradually she got more and more con-

The sandwiches might be eaten with

The Old Gardener Says:

Many plants can be started
from cuttings or slips made at
this season when the wood is
half ripened. Most shrubs can
be started readily if slips are
made, the cutting always be-
ing done just below a joint.
Even evergreens can be started in
this way, although the growth
will be slow. The cuttings should
be about six inches long and
planted .two-thirds Of their
length in light sandy soil. It is
helpful to place fruit jar over
each cHtting, the jars being
pressed tightly into the ground.
The jars keep the cuttings from
drying out until they have made
roots. It is well to take off the
jars on cloudy days and when
there Is a light, warm rainfall.
Roses are very easily started
from cuttings, either in the
Spring or Fail. Some climbing
roses, like Dorothy Perkins, root
wherever the branches touch the
ground.

them, they didn't shout and laugh
so much.
II see what the trouble is said
Uncle Wiggily as he watched them.
Its lots of fun to slide down hill,
but it is hard work to walk back.
I think there should be a hill that
goes both ways. AS soon as you
slide down one side and reach the
bottom, the hill ought to sort OF
turn upside down, or something
like that, and you could slide all
the way back. Yes, that would be a
fine hill. I'm going to look for one" !"
So, instead of joining the coast
ing fun of the animal children, Un-
Gle Wiggily hoped away again to
look for hill where no one would
have to walk up it after coasting
down. On and on, over the fields
and through the woods hoped Mr.
Longears until at last he came to
the top of a hill. Oh, it was very
long hill, covered with sparkling
snow.

hill that, when you coast down it,
will turn around and let you coast
the other way SO you don't have
to walk back. If I had a sled I'd
try it."
But Uncle Wiggily had brought
no sled with him and he did not
want to go to the hill where the
animal children were to get one OF
their sleds.
But 1 can't go down this long
hill, to find out if it coasts both
ways until have sled" said Mr..
Longears to himself "Oh, where
can I find a sled to try this Won
derful, long hill?"
Uncle Wiggily spoke aloud and,
hardly were the words past his
pink, twinkling nose that out of
the bushes stepped some sort OF
an animal wrapped in a bright red
cloak. This animal was pulling a
sled, a sled large enough to hold
himself and Uncle Wiggily.
Here is sled" said the Red
Animal whose face Uncle Wig
gily could not see. IF you want

WHY CORRUPT POLITICS?

An ANSWER to the questin. what is
n wrong with our American political
system, is seen in story from Omaha.
Nebraska.
Two attorneys, discussing the coming
municipal campaign there, made a wa
ger, one declaring that he could secure
sufficient signatures for the candidacy
of any man whom the other might
choose. The second lawyer chose Giu-
seppe Zangara, whose name has been in
the headlines in all the newspapers of
the country, as the would-be assassin of
President-elect Roosevelt.
The first attorney drew up a petition
with Zangara's name as a candidate for
the nomination and within a short time
had obtained 800 signatures. the number
agreed upon in the wager, which also
stipulated that the circular was not to
make known the identity of the caEdi-
date so that voters would sign it for a
joke. They signed in good faith.
Those who signed the petition were
mostly professional men, who did not
even look at the contents of the docu-
ment
This is bad, even from business
standpoint, for he who signs what he
does not read, is frequently immersed
in considerable trouble
But it emphasizes the utter lack of
intelligence which the American citizen
displays in his political affairs Like
so many sheep they follow any leader,
being too busy"-really too Indifferent
to do their own thinking
Is it any wonder that incompetents
and downright crooks infest American
political life? Not when the citizens are
so careless with their political affairs.
1t is no reflection upon Omaha or its
citizens that such a thing could happen.
Such petition could be circulated in
almost any city or town in the country
and it would be as successful as it was
in Omaha, for the indifference that was
shown to exist there is by no means con-
fined to that city.
Not until we learn to give as much
consideration and care to our individual
political affairs as we do to the purchase
of car or even the purchase of pair
of shoes, can we hope for much improve
ment in a political system which breeds
incompetence and corruption.

dering how in thunder Mussolini has
been getting away with it all these years.
