could use. Jerry believes In being pre-
pared.
Ii takes time and lot OF hard
work to dig tunnels like these 1t
was this that Jerry was doing while
Peter Rabbit was 30 impatiently
watching for some signs of the new
house above water. The bits OF earth
and sod which Jerry dug out he used
to broaden the foundation around his
cellar. And of course 1t was this work
that made the water 80 muddy.
The truth Is these tunnels were
quite as important as the house itself.
In fact. In some ways they were more
important So Jerry took great pains
In digging them. He knew that the
time might coma when his life would
depend on them. He intended that II
that time did come there should be
nothing wrong with those tunnels
Not until they were finished did he
give much thought to the rest ef the
house.

WHAT JERRY MUSKRAT
WAS DOING

nD You ever watch house being
i buIlt1 OF course you have. You
know, first OF all cellar Is dug. You
know how sewer and water pipes are
laid. You must know that a lot OF
work Is done In the ground which
doesn't go into the house itself. but
which is a part OF the building OF the
house just the same.
1t was this same way with Jerry
Muskrat and his new house. He had
lot to do before he could build the
house itself, which would rise above
the surface Of the water. Grandfather
Frog had been right when he had said
that that part OF the work would be
the easiest for Jerry.
First OF all Jerry had to dig sort
of cellar. The mud from this he piled
around him to make sort OF wall.
It was really the beginning of the
foundations of the new house. When
he had this cellar finished OF course
the water was quite lot deeper there
than 1t was around 1t. This was why
he had dug 1t. He knew that the water
was SO shallow around 1t that 1t would

ONE OF THOSE
DAYS
BY DOUGLAS MALLocH

lust one of those days when the
- world and Its ways
Seem so harsh. seem so hard, seem so
little to praise;
When the work that we do seems 4
thing never through,
wanted 1t to;
There Is nothing SO wrong, neither
sob, neither song,
It's just one Of those days that just
happen along.
Just one of those times when a word
never rhymes,
When the life that we lead seems Just
dollars and dimes,
When the world is so still. neither
good, neither Ill.
Not a scene has smile, not thought
has thrill;
There is nothing so sad. there ia MOTH
Ing SO glad,
It's just one Of those days we SO often
have had.
Just one of those hours neither sun,
neither show'rs,
Like lake without waves, or path
without flow'rs;
But the world isn't DER, over now
evermore,
1t shall blossom again AZ II blossomed
before.
For tomorrow our gaze to the peaks
we shall raise,
And shall know that today was Just
one Of those days.

SPOON USEFUL in ROUGH
GRASS

THERE seems to be hesitancy on
4 the part of most golfers TO resort
to the spoon when cuppy lie In the
falrway confronts them or In rough
grass. Generally they will pin their
chances on some straight faced iron
In preference. Perhaps just as gen
orally their shot will end dlsastrousy.
For the straight faced iron particular
ly is a difficult club In the hands OF
any but the expert player. All right
of the tee, 1t takes considerable pow
err to play 1t efficiently from heavy
grass. In deep clover dry contact Is
almost impossible because the juice Of
the smashed plants highly lubrlcates
the face of the iron. The ball, lacking
spin, Is thus hard to control. The re-
silent face OF the spoon will take q
much better hold In such cIrcum-
stances. Another thing In its favor
Is that 1t has more loft than an iron
club for the same range and can raise
the ball more quickly from the long
grass and set 1t down with but little
roll.

Local School Children Will Be
lmmunized Under Non-
Compulsory System

Announcement of campaign to
immunize Bismarck school children
from diphtheria. to be launched at
once. was made Wednesday by DR..
A. M. Fisher, city health officer.
Cards are being distributed to
school children which parents who
wish their children immunized are
ssked to sign. When the acceptances
of the officer have been received the
work of administering the anti-toxin
will begin under the direction Of DIR.
Fisher and Miss Esther Teichmann,
city school nurse.
DR.. Fisher stressed the fact that the
treatments are not compulsory. but
that the effort is In line with the
modern practice Of preventing disease
rather than attempting to cure it af-
ter 1t develops.
Children given the anti-toxin treat
ment are immunized from diphtheria
for eight or nine years or more and
this usually carries them past the dan
gerous period. since diphtheria is q
disease most likely to prove fatal In
early childhood. The health officer
said thousands Of tests have proved
tnat there are no harmful effects
from the immunization treatments.
When parents have signed the
cards. the treatments will be admin
istered to the children at the grade
school building, probably beginning
next week.
A charge Of 81 will be made for the
treatments but in cases where the
parents are unable to pay the work
will be done free.
