said Baby Bunty. Uncle Wiggily
pulled her on the sled and she
told him which way to hop. Soon
she pointed to a little hill which
showed that some one had been sled
riding down it.
There is where I made the Won

it might be a fairy hill and that
the carrots would disappear But
no! When Uncle Wiggily dug be-

carrots.

"We1l take home a load on your

FARM BUREAU
ISSUES PLEA
To MEMBERS

With agriculture facing a crisis
and with need for the enactment
of remedial federal legislation to
aid farmers, the American Farm
Bureau Federation sends out a plea
to all local units to maintain their
membership.
The plea from national head
quarters, written by NJ. S. Winder,
executive secretary, and sent to the
secretary of each state federation,
has been forwarded to the local
bureau by Alex Johnson, secretary
of the California Farm Bureau
Federation.
The letter points out that the
only source of income for the ma
tional federation comes through
its membership dues and that if
there is any material lessening in
the dues, the national federation
can not function.
All salaries have been reduced
from % to so per cent and the staff
has been reduced to less than one
half of what it was a year ago.
Every possible effort toward econ
omy has been made, and yet the
federation is finding it difficult to
operate because of reduced income.
President Edward O'Neal is
spending almost his entire time in
Washington in an attempt to Sc
cure beneficial legislation for
farmers. The national federation
is making every effort to keep
leaders informed of the progress OF
legislative work and to represent
state and local interests in nation
al affairs.
While the federation is aware
that the farmers are hard up, they
believe that if the local members
realize that the national service
will have to be given up if dues
are not paid, they will make an
effort to pay these dues.
Local farm bureau officials point
out that the national organization
has been largely effective in main
tanning the tariff on peas and to-
matoes as well as other products
when other interests have sought 6
lowering of the duty.

"Why?" asked Uncle Wiggily.
Because I wanted a little peace
and quiet" Bunty answered

Uncle Wiggily. He had been think

fore Bunty ran to him with the
news of her wonderful find. Uncle
WiggiIy was worried because he had
promised his wife to share his Wirt-
er carrots with a poor family of
rabbits who lived in an old stump.
And Mr.. Longears, though he
wanted to be kind and help all he
could, knew that if he gave away
too many carrots to the poor rab-
bit family there would be none of
the yellow vegetables left for the
Longears boys and girls and Baby
Bunty, who was an orphan.

UNCLE WIGGILY WONDERFUL
FIND

Uncle Wiggily looked at Baby
Bunty and the little orphan rabbit
looked at Mr.. Longears. Bunty
was somewhat out of breath, for
she had run fast to meet Uncle
Wiggily and was dragging her sled
behind her like little Bo Peeps
sleeps tails.
Uncle Wiggily was almost as
much excited as was the orphan
bunny child, for she had told him
some wonderful news and if he
should find it was true, why, there
would be much happiness. Not that
Baby Bunty would say something
that wasn't true, but she might
make a mistake, Mr.. Longears
thought. So he asked her:
Are you sure, Bunty, that you
have found hill of snow carrots?"
"Oh, yes, Unkie Wig" Bunty an
swered, sitting down on her sled.

THE CABINET

COMMENT on the new Roosevelt cab
" met as tentatively given are general
Iy favorable, the impression being that
the President-elect has made number of
excellent selections in his advisors
Cordell Hull, as secretary of state ;
Thotnas j. Walsh, as attorney general ;
Henry c. Wallace, as secretary of agri-
culture; Claude Swanson, as secretary of
the navy; and Miss Frances Perkins as
secretary of labor; are the outstanding
names in the group.
Hull is given a high standing by po-
litical friends and foes, and is recognized
as one of the best-informed men on ma
tional finances and financial legisla-
tion. Walsh's ability as a lawyer is out
standing. His record in the Teapot
Dome investigation is part of national
history. Wallace served as secretary of
agriculture in the Harding cabinet, and
has for years been the publisher of an
agricultural paper Swanson has been
ranking member of the senate naval
committee and has been in close touch
with naval affairs for years. Miss Per-
kins, while perhaps not so we'll known
nationally, has made an excellent record
in improving labor conditions in New
York state and is considered exception

member of a cabinet.
The balance of the cabinet as given
includes: Governor George H. Dern,
Utah, secretary of war; Harold Ickes,
Chicago, secretary of the interior; Daniel
c. Roper, secretary of commerce; Will
liam H. Woodin, secretary of the treas
ury and James A. Farley, postmaster
general.
Dern and Farley might be considered
purely political appointees whose work
in the campaign is being recognized.
Woodin has been an outstanding manu-
facturer, who should do as well with his
new office as some of his predecessors,
even "Uncle Andy" Mellon Ickes and
Roper are also political appointees and
their merit is yet to be proved.
The entire group has the we'll wishes
of the country, which is united in hoping
they can make good, for the nation never
had greater need of sound and substan-
tial men in public office. 1t is also to
be hoped that if any of them wear top
hats that they will be provided with au-
tomobiles sufficiently large to admit
them plus their hats, without added ex-
pense to the country.

man who finally established George
Washington firmly as the Father

Congress gives him permission, to
wear his medal.
Congressman Bloom got the me-
dal because he was member OF
a committee which arranged for
erection of a replica Of Mt. Yer
non near Paris in 1881.
The constitution says, however
that no man in federal life can
accept a foreign decoration except
by congressional permission. Bloom
thus hopes his colleagues will pass
a law which will enable him to
sport his ribbon on his chest. If no
law is forthcoming, the congress
man must keep the ribbon in the
bottom of his trunk until he has
retired from congress. That even
tuality, says Bloom, is remote.

SIR MALCOLM MOVES

NE HOPE that Sir Malcolm Campbell,
" having whizzed along the beach at
Daytona at a speed faster than ever
travelled before by man on land, will now
be satisfied and rest content with his
honors.
We doubt very much that our hope will
be fulfilled. 1t is a safe bet that the
doughty Englishman will be at it again
some time and will not quit until he is
too old to stand the rigors of his par
ticular form of pleasure.
We may be judging Sir Malcolm un-
fairly, but it seems as though no great
good is accomplished by his willingness
to risk his neck in attempts to travel at
super-high speed.
There may come time when a speed
of 272 miles an hour on the road will
be desirable, but right now it appears so
far in the future as to give us no concern
whatever. We have so much trouble
with 60-miles-an-hour drivers that we
shudder to think what the 272 variety
would bring.
As to any benefit the automobile man.
ufacturers might derive from Sir NAL
COINS stunts, we also have grave doubts
They are not called upon to build auto
mobiles capable of withstanding the
shocks to which the Englishman sub
jects a car and what might be deemed
essential to his safety and the efficient
functioning of his car would not apply
to the commercial or pleasure type of
vehicle
Nobody seems to get any real benefit
out of it, except Sir Malcolm, whose de-
sires are satisfied, temporarily at least
Of course it goes without saying that ne
is richly entitled to all the satisfaction
he can get. He takes enough risk to
entitle him to that.
He is so far out in front now that it
will take plenty to equal or surpass his
mark. Until that time he ought to quit,
but we have feeling he has set his goal
at 800 miles an hour and like the baby
in the soap ad ''he won't be happy til
he gets it,.
