BEDTIME STORIES

do it as soon as you can, Wiggy."
While Nurse Jone took warm
clothing to the poor bunny child
rem, Uncle Wiggily went into his
cellar, filled many baskets with
carrots and left them at the old
stump house.
"Oh, Mr.. Longears, How can l
thank you enollgh?" said Mrs.
Jumper when she saw the baskets
of golden carrots. For the first
time in many days my children
can eat enough"
Where is Mr.. Jumper?" asked
Uncle Wiggily.
HE is out looking for work." said
his wife. He thought today he
might get job scratching away
snow for rich rabbits. But I don't
know. There isn't much work these
days"
Don't worry" said Uncle Wig
gily,. cheerfully my wife and l
will see that you have plenty OF
carrots"
But though he told Mrs. Jumper
not to worry, Uncle Wiggily, him
self. was doing some worrying on
his way home. And the reason was
that when he looked at the pile
of carrots in his bungalow cellar he
did not find as many as he eX-
pected.
1--WE must have eaten lot OF
carrots this Winter" thought Mr..
Longears as he hoped back home.
"I didn't know wehad SO few. II
/ have to share them with the
Jumper family, they will not last
until Spring. But still I must nelp.
I will not eat so many carrots
and I'll tell my wife and Nurse
Jane not to eat so many. We can
go a bit hungry so there may be
enough carrots for the poor Jump
ers."
Uncle Wiggily wished he had
more carrots SO he might share
them with the hungry little bun
MES in the old stump house. But
he did not know where to get them.
Carrots don't grow in Winter and
though in the Fall Mr.. Longears
had stored away many of the yell
low vegetables, now there were few
left and he did not know where to
get more.
Uncle Wiggily had almost reach
ed his hollow stump bungalow and
he was wondering and worrying
about how he could get more car
rots when, all of sudden, he saw
Baby Bunty hopping toward him.
She had her little sled and her pink
nose was shining and She seemed
excited.
whats the matter?" asked I'm
Gle Wiggily. Ibid the Bob Cat
chase you, Bunty, that you are
running SO fast?"
"Oh, no, Unkie Wig" said the
little orphan bunny. Il am run
ming fast to tell you some good
news. Good news about a hill OF
snow carrots where have been
coasting. OH OH"
Snow carrotSl What do you
mean?" asked Mr.. Longears.
What Bunty meant you shall
learn tomorrow night when the
story will be about Uncle Wiggily's
wonderful find. And please stop
the ink bottle from turning somer-
saults and making black marks on
the ceiling.

Rejected Smtor
On Good Behavior

When Henrietta Robson refused
to accept his company Tedis Airline
accepted her refusal, but informed
her that he would kill her if she
bestowed her favors upon anyone
else.
At least. this was the story ac-
cepted by Judge 1. Mayfield yester-
day afternoon when he found Ar
line guilty of disturbing the peace,
and sentenced him to 10 days in
Jail, suspending the sentence dur
ing Arline's good behaviour. Both
the defendant and the complaining
witness are Negroes.
Airline declared during his trial
that he had made no threats, and
had not in any way disturbed the
peace. The woman said he became
angry when she refused to go with
him, and threatened to kill her if
she went with another man.

ENCOURAGING BRIDGE NEWS

Ever since the bridge project was in
itiated, The Citizen has kept in close touch
with all activities pertaining to it, whether
they occurred in Key West, Miami, ITALIA
hassee, or Washington, and the dispatches
this week, published in The Citizen from
the last named city, have been more en-
heartening than during any other similar
period
Keenly alive to the fact that the peo-
pie of Key West are far more interested in
the bridge proposition than in anything
else, The Citizen, when the scene of activi-
ties moved to Tallahassee, requested The
Associated Press to supply this paper with
all news concerning the proposed bridges,
and, later on, when Washington became
the focus of the activities, instructed it's
correspondent there to keep it informed
about every development in connection
with the application for the loan.
While nothing definite has come out
of Washington yet, the readers of The Citi-
zen have been kept informed about every
development. This week several important
dispatches about the project have been
published in The Citizen, and all of them
have been of an encouraging nature.
Probably the most important dispatch con-
cerned the appointment of the three men,
bers of the state advisory board, the NAM
ing of all of whom was highly pleasing to
the bridge advocates.
he Giti0nY1 bal:
going to get the bridges, but whether or
not we get them, The Citizen feels conf
dent that its readers will appreciate its
efforts to give them the news and to give
it to them as quickly as it could be flashed
over the wires, about every important
bridge development.
Frankly, the cost for that service has
been a constant drain on The Citizen, but
it has been money that has been spent glad
"; indeed, we have sensed thrill in get
ting the news, regardless of it's cost, in the
realization that The Citizen, as daily
paper, has constantly performed duty it
owed it's readers.
News dispatches about the proposed
bridges, published in The Citizen during
the week, have been so encouraging, Key
Westers generally feel confident now that
the loan will be obtained.
However, the object of The Citizen
has not been to awaken or strengthen, as
the case may be, the confidence of Key
Westers in the proposition: its sole OBJ
ject has been to give its readers the news,
FRESH NEWS, as obtained from the source
of activity by able and conscientious re-
porters.
Those reporters, or correspondents,
have not been concerned in pleasing us or
our readers. Those reporters wired us the
news as it was given to them. Sometimes
it did not please us or our, readers, but it
was sent just the same, as it was the news
that they had obtained.
Finally, all bridge news, and there has
been a great deal of it from Washington
this week published in The Citizen, has
been pleasing to all Key Westers, because
it showed progress, without hitch, toward
obtaining decision from the Public Works
Board on the application for a loan to con-
struct the proposed bridges.

FIGHT ON RACKETEERs

War on racketeers has been declared
by the Crusaders, an organization of mill
tant young men between the ages of q
and 45, and claiming membership of
1,250,00O, This body was first formed to
agitate for repeal of national prohibition,
and now that it believes this fight is won,
racketeering will be the next target.
According to the Crusaders chief,
Fred G. Clark, the first battle win be
against corruption among officeholders.
He recently said: These political racket
GERS, including corrupt politicians and self
seeking public officeholders in the Federal,
state and municipal governments, must be
removed and replaced by honest represen-
tatives of the people before racketeering
can be wiped out in this country
He added that nothing can accomplish
this but powerful organization of patriot
ic Americans. who by force of numbers can
eliminate the grafters from public office.
The Crusaders contend that rackets
can be broken up by responsible govern
ment. and that responsible government can
be secured by the courageous efforts of an
alert, independent and unselfish minority.
