BEDTIME STORIES

ahead of them. Toodle was walking
along in the snow, dragging his
tail behind him just like sled
Toodle was walking toward poor
little house made of sticks, straw
and stones.
Hiding behind bush near this
little house, Uncle Wiggily and
Noodle saw Toodle go to the door
and tap gently. At the same time
Toodle called:
Come on out and I'll give you
a ride on my Sled!"
Out of the poor little house came
scampering five little mice child
len, three girls and two boys.
Their clothes were ragged but clean
and when they saw Toodle, the lit
tie mice squeaked:
"Oh, joy! Oh, joy!" five times
just like that And the oldest mouse
boy said: Have you come to make
more fun for us?"
Il have answered Toodle
Climb on and Ill give you a ride!
The five little mice children
(three girls and two boys) climbed
on Toodle's broad, flat tail and
then the beaver boy began to run
giving the mice q fine ride over the
snow.
"Ha! Now 1 understand" said
Uncle Wiggily. Those poor mice
children have no sled of their own
Knowing this, Toodle wanted to be
kind to them and SO he sneaked
off by himself to give them ride
on his tail which is very like q
sled"
But why didn't he tell me?'
asked Noodle. I'm his brother"
Il think perhaps he had an idea
you might imagine he was high
hat or something like that" said
the rabbit. You know Toodle
didn't wan anybody, even you, to
know the kind act he was doing.
He was afraid you might laugh at
him"
"Oh, I wouldn't do thatl" said
Noodle. But I certainly am sur
prised at what Toodle is doing.
Much surprised! But 1 want to be
kind, too. I'd like to ride some poor
mice children on my tail sled"
We'll there's your chance" said
Uncle Wiggily laughing. Here
comes a lot more poor little mice. "
And as they scampered out of the
small house next door, Noodle call
ed to them to get on his tail, SO
the two beaver boys gave the mice
many jolly tail sled sides that day.
So that ended the secret mystery.
And if the potato masher doesn't
step on the tomatoes SO they can't
dance with the carrot shortcake,
I'll tell you next about Uncle Wig
gily's dishpan drum.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND

Come on, Uncle Wiggily!" call
ed Noodle Flat-Tail, the beaver boy
to the rabbit gentleman. Come

"where?" asked Mr.. Longears.
I'VE must follow my brother
Toodle and find out the secret
mystery about his tail Sled" an
swered Noodle.
"Ha, I'm with you on that!
chuckled Uncle Wiggily. Il may get
an adventure out of it,"
The rabbit gentleman had come
to visit the beaver boys at their
reed and rush house in the duck
pond. Toodle said he couldn't go
adventuring with the bunny un-
Gle and, when asked why, Toodle
said he must go somewhere with
his sled.
He called his tail his sled and
really it looked like a small one,
or, perhaps, more like a toboggan
which issa sort of flat board sled
without steel runners like yours.
Where do you think Tcodle is
going with his tail sled?' asked
Unc,e Wiggily of Noodle as they
walked over the snow together.

boys answer. For the last three

If the church is essential then, it

Church membership does not mean
wearing a perpetual garment of sane

than for saints as the Good Shepherd
indicated in the parable of the lost

The average man will be better man,
mentally, morally and even physically,
by giving some attention to the spiritual
side of his life and this can best be ac-
quired by contact with the church.

or four days, after he has played
with me for a while, Toodle goes
off by himself dragging his tail
after him. When ask him where
he was going he says it's a secret.
Its a mystery, too," spoke Un-
Gle Wiggily. But maybe We can
find out about it,"
II hope So" said Noodle as he
made q SNOWFALL and tossed it with
his front paws at tree, hitting it
on the bark. OF course it wouldn't
be polite to throw a SNOWFALL at a
dogs bark but it's all right to
throw a SNOWFALL at trees bark.
It's funny that way.
do you think, Noodle asked
Uncle Wigg1ly, that Toodles goes
off by himself in this secret, mys-
terious way to try to sell his tail
sled TO get money to buy himself a
pair of skates?"
"Oh, no." answered the beaver
boy. "Toodle's tail sled is fastened
to him the same as my tail is fas-
tened to me, or yours is to you"
"Welr' spoke Uncle Wiggily with
a sigh. my tail isn't much to talk
about. 1t isn't much larger than
the silly tail the Bob Cat wears

THE CHURCH CALLS

I LOYALTY is one of the greatest of hu-
l. man virtues, so much so that even
loyalty to wrong cause is laudable and
causes the admiration of mankind. When
loyalty therefor, is extended to a cause
that is good beyond question, it is doubly
laudable.
This applies to the Loyalty Campaign
now being conducted by Ell Centro
churches, which has for its object the
stimulation of church attendance dur
ing the next few weeks
No institution is more loyal to man
than the church, and it is sad but true
that toward no other institution is man
so unconcerned. In youth church at
tendance is part of the universal family
program, but when the adult stage is
reached, indifference toward church at
tendance is quite general
Yet no man would wish to reside or
attempt to raise a family in a commun-
ity devoid of churches. He knows that
such community cannot hope to offer
him the better things of life. Lawless-
ness, laXity in morals and complete dis
regard of ideals, SO as to make residence
there unfit for women and children and
also unfit for men, would be prevailing
conditions in a churchless town.
From the earliest days of this country,
the church has gone hand and hand with
the development of the nation. The pio-
neers, almost before they had cleared
their own land for subsistence, also
cleared land and raised church that
they might worship God. Respect for
the church is traditional IN the United
States, which opens its legislative coun-
ellis and most public affairs, with prayer.
In Ell Centre the church has played
an important part in the life of this
community No institution has been
more loyal to the community The var
ious pastors and congregations have not
been content in deyoting their time to
things spiritual, but have aided greatly
in the material development of their
city. Ell Centre has every reason to be
proud of them and should be inspired to
support them to the fullest extent.
The fine group of men-the pastors
of the various churches-who are spon-
soring the Loyalty Campaign, by their
own good works deserve the loyalty of
the people as whole. They are hard
workers, broadminded, tolerant of hu.
man weakness, ever ready to encourage
rather than to scold, and deeply con-
cerned with their mission of bettering
the cause of humanity through uphold
ing its greatest standard-the Cross of
Christ and all for which it stands.
The great cause of Christianity in it.
self should have the full support of all
who profess themselves to be Christians,
but if the individual is unable to compre-
hend this he should still be able to ex-
tend sympathetic response to the call
of the ministers of the city in this 10y
atty Campaign.
Church attendance imposes no great
burden upon anyone. 1t takes little time
each week and any man will be bettered
by attendance at Sunday services. Dec
laration that he does not need the church
is an assumption of arrogance and de-
notes lack of humbleness which dis
appear in time of trouble, sorrow and

SENATOR WALSH

ASIDE from the distressing fact that
n his death occurred while on his honey
moon, the passing of Senator Thomas j.
Walsh will be generally regretted, for
his loss to the nation is severe one at
this time, when he was expected to play
an important part in the new admins
tration which assumes control of the gov
ernment tomorrow.
Throughout his term of over 20 years
in the senate, Walsh had distinguished
himself by his knowledge of constitu-
tional law, in which he was an acknowl-
edged master, and for his integrity
which withstood terrific pressure from
all sides as he dug into the Teapot
Dome mess several years ago.
For his services in that affair alone
Senator Walsh is entitled to be remem-
bered in history, for it was a gigantic
task as well as an extremely disagree
able one, neither factor causing him to
finch from what he considered to be his
duty to his country.
His choice to be attorney general in
the Roosevelt cabinet was recognized by
political foes as we'll as friends, as be-
ing an exceptionally good one and aug
ured we'll for the new administration.
The President-elect will seek far to find
an aide the equal of the man whose ser
vices have been denied him by death.

0pen-Air Picture Shows.

A Camden, N. j., motion picture en-
terprise has been inaugurated in an
effort to solve one of the gravest prob
lens confronting the screen industry
today, thst of accommodations for
patrons who like to 60 TO the shows in
their own transportation. Parking diff
cultieS in cities have, it is believed,
been one of the principal factors in the
falling of Of attendance. There are
other elements in the case such as lack
of sufficient attractions on the screen
and the repetition Of threadbare themes.
But parking is just now the trouble
that some of the exhibitors are trying
to overcome
Camden's expedient consists Of the
starting Of an open-air picture theater
for motorists. A suburban plot Of six
and half acres has been provided, in
amphitheater style, with eight inclined
rows arranged i'll semi-circle around
a great screen There are accommo-
dationS for about four hundred auto
mobiles The patrons sit i'll their own
cars TO view the show. On the opening
night two hundred machines were thus
arrayed.
This device has its drawbacks. The
ma ajOrity of motor cars nowadays are
CT the closed type, with a poor chance
for those on the back seats 10 see a
picture screen. Perhaps if the open-air
show is successful new type Of motor
car will be developed for this particular
use. Or maybe each family will have
two cars, one OF the closed type and one
of the roadster type, or convertible
machine, the top OF which can be low
cred. Cooperation between the picture
and the Moor industries may become
necessary TO give the fullest value to
this method CT catering to the movie
minded public.

The Gold Hoarders.

After some weeks Of inquiry and re-
search. a partial list Of the hoarderS Of
gold has been submitted to the Depart
ment of Justice for possible action under
the proclamation OF the President. 1t
contains some 10000 names, and the
total of gold held by these individuals is
stated at approximately $34,652 600.
Twenty-one cities are represented, New
York naturally having the largest num-
Der Of names and the greatest holding
Of gold, 5,505 persons there having an
aggregate of $29 45l ,581.1l. Just how
this works out to odd cents is not
stated. nor Is the item Of pennies eX-
planned in the Chicago list CT PIG names,
with total holding of 81 SAC, ,643.75.
Agents of the Department Of Justice
have personally interviewed 93l Sus-
pectei persons to obtain their eXplana-
tiCnS OF to determine whether they had
actually boarded gold. In addition. it
was found that 249 names Oh the "sus-
pect' list were fictitious, the god hav-
ing been Withdrawn from the banks
under false names. OF these called
upon 4OS persons had returned the gold
prior to the visit of the agents In the
amount CT some $6000,000. Forty-two
turned in their gold after the agents
had called.
No decision has been reached on the
score of prosecutions. Thirty-seven of
those interviewed by the Government
agents admitted Withdrawing gold to
the sum of S233064 and refused to
return it to the banks. II it is decided
to proceed with the application Of the
law these will be the ones haled to
court. The Attorney General says that
his primary purpose in conducting the
investigation was to bring about COM
pliance with the Presidents proclama-
ton, that he does not desire to prose-
cute, but that he will do SO cheerfully"
However, he adds. There certainly will
be some prosecutions of those who are
defying the Government
1t will be highly interesting to observe
the proceedings in these cases. Pre-
sumably those who are defiant of the
Presidents proclamation have had legal
advice, and they will probably resist
prosecution with the aid of counsel.
There may be some lively proceedings.
II the test cases succeed-and judging
from the usual rate of judicial pro-
cedure it will be some time before the
matter is deteimined-the anti-hoard-
ing order, despite the fact that the ma
jority of the withdrawers Of god have
complied with it by returning their gold
to the banks, will have been a failure.
That will make more business for Con-
gress at its next session, assuming that
the question is settled by that time.
