World Newspaper Fair Idea Grows;
Rush OF Displays Amazes Coloradoans
my Associated Press,

GREELEY, Col, March 27.-
What Mikki Hiiri and Felix Kissa
say in the comic strips of 'The
Helsingin Sanomat" of : Helsing-
fors, Finland, looks like nobody's
business to, the staff of the Gree
ley Daily Tribune, or anybody else
who can't read their language.
Yet it's members, working in
tently in preparation of the Col
orado papers ''world newspaper
fair" scheduled for early May, see
in these simle-provoking features
evidence of the way in which the
daily newspaper makes the whole
world kin.
Crosswords Everywhere
Crossword puzzles are printed
in Arabic and Japanese news
papers and in those of almost
every other language. Black
haired maids in gardens at Yoko-
hama and Bagdad grope for four
letter words meaning prehistoric
animals, just as their sisters and
brothers do the world over.
AS for the worlds newspaper
fair" idea, it has grown into
something bigger than expected
when early in February the staff
sent more than 200 letters in sew
eral languages to legations in
Washington, consuls in various
cities and direct to the papers.
Response Astonishing
Response indicating interest in
the fair to be held in a small
northern Colorado city astonished
its originators.
Practically every European
country is now represented. The
great journals of the British Isles
are here. Canada has been COM
pletely covered.
Letters have brought papers
from Trinidad, off the cosat of
South America. A daily at Cairo,
Egypt, has replied. Papers from
Bagdad on the Persian gulf, Mos
COW in the U. S. S. R., Khartoum
in the Sudan and Japan have ar
rived.
Arabic, local news folk have
learned, is the language that
arouses this invariable comment:

UNCLE WIGGILY'S PICTURE

When Uncle Wiggily promised
Johnny Bushytail to give a party
for the animal children, and then
when the rabbit uncle forgot all
about it, why it seemed for mo-
ment, as if there might be very
sad time. But Mr.. Longears was
in his corn field when johnnie and
all the other squirrels, rabbits, pussy
dogs and puppy cats and various
animals trooped around him to re-
mind him of his promise, so the
bunny uncle said he would give a
corn party.
Whats a corn party?" asked
Baby Bunty. Tell us, Unkie Wig"
and there she stopped, for she was
allowed no more silly talk.
"A corn party is given with corn, y
said Mr.. Longears, land that is the
kind of a party am going to give
now. Corn that grows in a field
you know, is good to eat. There are
three kinds of corn. Sweet corn and

ing day.
When the President returns the
call will be made, and observers
are wondering whether Justice Nc
Reynolds will be there. In resent
years he stayed away so consist
emily that he was building up q
tradition of his own.
Justice McReynolds is staunch
Democrat, appointed to the bench
by Woodrow Wilson. Should he
join his eight colleagues at the
White House, some suggest it might
be an indication as to what he
thinks about "New Deal" legisla-
ton. He is one of the most con-
servative members of the court.
Opinions written in the booklined
library of a dull red brick house
on a quiet street here may have
a great influence on the court IS
attitude toward the new deal.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, former
justice, wrote most of his opinions
in the room. His liberal attitude
may be felt in the coming session
through those opinions, which might
in some cases be considered as es-
tablishing precedent.

BEDTIME STORIES
BY HOWARD Z. CARRIE
tCapyrisAt, 1857. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate,

LongearS had some of the boys
break off roasting ears from the
stalks in his corn field. These ears
were placed in rows on the hot
stones near enough to the Goals
so they would brown nicely, but not
burn.
Now while the ears are roast
ing" said Uncle Wiggily. Il want
to see which one of you can make
the best picture
What can we make a picture
with?' asked Baby Bunty. I'VE
didn't bring our pencils and paper
from school. The Lady Mouse
Teacher didn't tell us to-"
For the kind of pictures 1 wart
you need neither pencil nor paper,
my dear" spoke Uncle Wiggily. "All
you need are leaves"
"Leaves!" shouted many Of the
animal boys and girls. How can
we make pictures out of leaves?'
1.-The autumn leaves are prettily
colored," said Uncle Wiggily. If
you gather punches of leaves you
can arrange them together--rc6
purple, pink and perhaps some dark
green. These colors will make
beautiful pictures. Now whoever
gathers autumn leaves and makes
the most beautiful picture shall
have two ears of roast corn!"
My! how the children scampered
TO pick up the leaves that Jack
Frost had so beautifully colored
They placed them in clusters and
punches and laid them out on the
ground making many pictures.
Then Uncle Wiggily, seeing that
The roast ears were nearly cooked
walked along looking at all the
pictures.
my! My!" he exclaimed How
lovely. But dear me! How can tell
which is the prettiest? They are all
so nice. I know what I shall do"
chuckled Mr.. Longears. I'll give
each of you a prize for making such
wonderful leaf pictures.
Sc he gave each one two ears OF
roasted corn and most delicious 1t
was, eaten out there in the field
with the beautiful leaves all around.
And when it grew dark the ami
NAL boys and girls hurried to their
houses to do their school home
work. And if the cake Of soap will

Uncle Wiggily and Jackie tucked
his tail between his hind legs and
walked to the rear of the circle of
animal children. Il was going to
say field corn, although that isn't
such a good name for it, since all
corn grows in fields, sweet corn
and popcorn
Are you going to give us pop
corn party?" asked Jingle.
Not now, although / may later,
Uncle Wiggily said. Nor am I 60
ing to give you a party with yellow
corn"
yellow corn is chicken corn and
chicken corn is candy and l like
candy at a partyl" said Baby Bunty
Not SO fast, my dearl Not so
fast!" laughed Uncle Wiggily. Just
a moment and l will explain"
So Baby Bunty hoped around
and sat down beside Jackie Bow
Wow.
In my field here" went on the
rabbit gentleman, II have some ears
of sweet corn that are ready for
roasting. Now think a NICE party
would be for me to build you
fire on some big flat stones and let
you roast ears of corn. How about
that?"
THAT would be SWELL" plewed
Tommie Kat.
Roast ears of corn will be good!"
chartered Johnnie Bushytail, who
really had started the party by ask
ing Uncle Wiggiy when he was 60
ing TO give one. III help get the
wood for the fire"
Soon plenty of wood was gathered
and Uncle Wiggily carefully made
blaze on stone fireplace telling
the animal boys and girls TO keep
away from the sparks. When there
was pile Of glowing Goals. Mr..

TWO STRIKEOUTS

Death has robbed the sports world of
two picturesque figures this week. Mike
Donlin, once star member of the New
York Giants, and Ring Lardner, whose
role was that of spectator and writer of
sports.
Old timers who took their big league
baseball red hot can easily recall the
Turkey Mique" of the old Giants out
field, contemporary of the great
Matty,' Roger Bresnahan, Chief"
Meyers and a host of others who made
baseball famous shortly after the turn
of the century.
Donlin was a fighter, the gossips
giving him credit for once threatening
to punch none other than Jim Jeffries.
former heavyweight champion, although
Donln was always lightweight.
"Mique's" battles with umpires and
other players were numerous, yet he
was popular with all, his fighting being
inspired more by the desire to win than
by any righteousness in him.
AS baseball writer Lardner who
died in his sleep last night, was without
a peer. For years he travelled with the
White SoX, and turned from this sphere
to fiction writing when his baseball ex-
perience enabled him to create AL" the
star pitcher who was typical of no one
big league player yet reflected the char
acteristics of many rookie who came up
to the big league equipped with nothing
but his ability to play ball.
"AP' lacked education, refinement
and modesty, but ne could pitch and ne
knew it. Many reader howled in mirth
at the letters "Al' wrote over period
of years. 1t is told that when Lardner
first submitted the stories, with words
Intentionally misspelled and grammati-
cal construction full of errors, too con-
scientious proof-reader nearly ruined
them by correcting the mistakes.
Donlin and Lardner occupied no ex-
tremely high niche in the affairs of the
nation, yet they provided entertainment
and amusement for thousands. Each in
his own way made people forget their
troubles and laugh. That after ALL en-
titles them to something more than pass
ing comment.
They are probably together now and it
is dollars to doughnuts the fans up there
are enjoying a red hot baseball game
today and will laugh at Lardners ac-
count of it in tonights paper, provided
any newspaper workers have been sue
cessful in making the grade.
