Uncle Wiggily, hearing what he

will be so busy looking for what he
thinks is a lost pussy that he will
not see you sneaking up on him

you?"
II will" growled the Fox.
But mind you," mewed the Bob

"All right" said the Fox, so he
and the Bob Cat went to the woods
where the Bob Cat would hide un-

said the Bob Cat as he snuggled
down in the leaves. IF it starts to

So he hid in the bushes and the

BARRY on GRIDDLE

nAVID 5. BARRY, veteran sergeant
alarms of the United States senate.
has blown the lid off in Washington by
indirect charges and insinuations of vote
selling by senator's, contained in an ar
tlcle which Barry wrote for national
publication
The man who is charged with keeping
order in the senate, stated in his ar
tlcle, there are not many senators or
congressman who sell their votes for
money, and it is pretty well known who
these few are"
In his defense, when summoned yes
terday before the senate, Barry assert
ed that he had no particular congress
men or senators in mind when he wrote
the statement, and that actually it was
intended as defense of congress
against the more or less popular belief
that there is such bartering of votes on
the part of legislators.
Many OF us are as careless with our
accusations regarding congress as Barry
apparently has been, but there is this
difference. Generally speaking. criti-
cism of congress, even charges against
it, when made by outsiders, can be taken
with a grain of salt, or in fact disregard
ed entirely, for very few outside of con-
gressional circles actually know what
tranSplres in congress. And 1t is only
logical to assume that if there is any
vote buying, it is done so secretly that
proof of it is well nigh impossible
But for an officer of the senate to
make or insinuate such charge. is Sc
rious matter and one which calls for a
complete investigation. 1t is only fair
to members of congress to give them a
chance to be eXonerated by an open hear
ing 1t is equally fair to Barry to give
him a chance to prove his statement, If
he can do so.
As to the further charge made by the
sergeant-at-arms, that members of con-
gress frequently vote according to the
dictates of political expediency, rather
than according to their own feelings,
there is no doubt that this is true. Few
will dispute it. 1t is proved by the large
number of personal vets who have voted
dry in the past decade because they be-
lieved their constituents wished them to
vote that way This is not to the dis

pected. A year ago Vicks intro
duced two other new preparations
-Vicks Nose and Throat drops and
Vicks Medicated Cough Drops. The
usual advertising appropriation for
a normal year was more than dou-
bled-and sales of both products
went above quotas in like propor-
ton. The nose drops-new aid in
preventing colds-took immediate
lead in its particular field. More
than 20,000,000 packages of the
cough drops were sold during the
first season. Sales SO far this WIN
ter are practically double last years
figures for the same period.
Vicks Antiseptic represents the
first departure from the exclusive
field of colds for the ouse of VickS.
It's introduction was based upon
| recognition of the place that oral
antiseptics have taken in almost
every household as a modern hy-

VICKS OFFERS
NEW PRODUCT
IN ANTISEPTIC

GREENSBORO, N. c., Feb. 4.
(SpeciaD House of Vicks -
famous for its various household
preparations and plan for better
control of colds, has its own way
of overcoming depression. Instead
of retrenching, its expands. 1t en-
ploys more people, spends more on
it's research division in developing
new products; more money for ad-
Veltising them. This, in turn, re-
quires the purchase of more raw
materials, and helps other business
in allied lines.
Just lately, Vicks introduced
new product-Vicks Voratone An
tiseptic. In its production, and in
preparation for its marketing,
thousands of people were given
new or extra employment. Three
weeks ago, 1872 carloads of this
new mouthwash and gargle went
out through wholesale druggists to
Americas 10000 drug stores. In
each carload, there was an added
slice of prosperity for bottle max
ers, cap manufacturers, carton ma
kers. glass and paper mills, print
ers and engravers-to say nothing
of the various sources of raw ma
terials for the product itself; and
the thousands for whom pay enve-
lopes were created or fattened.
Nor does all this take into ac-
cout the 100000 appropriated for
the Vicks Antiseptic introductory
advertising campaign-over 85 per
cent of which is being spent in
newspaper. space. It's Vicks answer
to the challenge of the times =
Can new business be created IN a
period of depressioh?"
Vicks believes that it can be
dcne. In fact, is proving it. There
has been an amazing public re-
Spouse to the announcement of this
new product-of which there were
100000 trial bottles made avail
able to druggists below cost OF
manufacture, to make it easy for
the public to test and prove its
quality-and economy. Born in a
depression year, Vicks Antiseptic

Some of the house wits told the
congressman that he was ''spit-

the congressman began to affect
the dress and mannerisms of the
distinguished statesman.
His friends told him that if he
wanted absolute proof OF the re-

Good Samaritan
Gets 1t Again

another good Samaritan fell by
the wayside yesterday afternoon,
according to a report at the ponce
station, when Emile F. Locke OF
Los Angeles lost his automobile,
certificate of ownership, driver S
license. a leather jacket and several
jars of preserved fruit TO a man
and woman whom he had be-
friended.
Locke told officers he picked up
a man named Ray and woman
who said her name was Lois Long
at Los Angeles. and brought them
to Ell Centre under the assumption
that the three would pool their re-
sources. work together and secure
employment here.
Apparently Locke was the only
ore who had any resources. Yes
terday afternoon Ray informed
Locke he had secured jobs for
all three, and that their ''boss
would be along pretty soon. Ray
then left. saying he would be back
in minute. He did not return.
Locke tired of waiting and went
back to the hotel, only to find the
woman, his automobile and other
belongings gone. Thereafter he
could not locate Ray, and arrived
at the conclusion he had been
made the victim of a confidence
game.
