UNCLE WIGGILY SEES
SOMETHING

When Uncle Wiggily reached the
apple tree in the field and saw the
apples high above his reach and
when the rabbit gentleman heard 4
funny noise in the bushes, he
didn't cutie know what to think.
AS I told you in the story last night,
he wanted apples 50 Nurse Jane
could make him a pie, but he saw
no way of getting the apples off
the tree.
Perhaps this is someone else at
ter apples" said Uncle Wiggily to
himself as he stood near a rail
fence which was built around the
field in which grew the apple tree.
And the bushes were SO thick that
Uncle Wiggily couldn't see through
them.
Maybe it is Mr.. Stubtail or Mr..
WhiteWash, my two bear friends, -
thought Uncle Wiggily as he stood
near the fence first looking at the
apple tree and then at the bushes
whence came the voices.
IF Mr.. Stubtail or Mr.. White
wash is there went on the rabbit
gentleman, still speaking to him

THE q. A. II. LIVES

"0nly 1000 veterans of the g. A. r.
assemble for encampment."
Headlines similar to this were carried
in the newspapers of the country yester-
day as the 9th annual encampment of
the Grand Army Of the Republic opened
in Milwaukee
Technically the headlines were correct,
for the living Grand Army of the Repub-
lie has shrunk to pitifully small group.
But through the eyes of the nation the
G. A. r. is as large as it was during those
memorable days when it marched down
Pennsylvania avenue in the Grand Re-
view
There are some no doubt who can only
see or visualize at Milwaukee a small
gathering of gnarled, bent and feeble old
men. But there are others who can see
rank after rank of sturdy blue-clad men,
marching along in swinging rhythm,
proud of a victory over as hard fighting
and gallant foemen as any army ever
faced.
The 67th annual encampment is not
limited to the 1000 veterans. Grant is
there, doughty and imperturbable; so is
Sherman, his eyes alone betraying the
feeling that the four years of terrible
carnage have left on this war-hater;
Sheridan, dwarf afoot but giant on
horse, rounds out the trio of leaders come
to hold reunion with the men who served
under them.
when Johnny Comes Marching Home
Again and "Tenting Tonight blare
forth from the bands; state rivalry, which
inspired the volunteer troops to heroic
deeds in the field, runs high again as
comrades recount tales Of their regiments
and if they stretch the yarn bit who
cares.
There are no old men at Milwaukee, for
those who look with eyes that can see.
They are as young and as vigorous as the
day they answered the call Of the big
homely man who summoned them in the
name of their country.
Only one thing is missing, If we look
again to Milwaukee with our actual eyes.
Sixty-eight years have passed, time
enough for many things to be forgotten.
The Confederate gray has not yet appear
ed at a G. A. r. encampment. There Is
still time before the last encampment is
called Nothing could bring more real
happiness to the American nation than to
see the men of Grant and Lee comming-
ling again as they did at Appomattox.
They did it then, surely they can do 1t
again.
Yesterdays headlines were correct, but
the G. A. R. and the brave men who were
its opponents still live at full strength,
and will continue doing SO as long as this
reunited nation lasts.

PRESS NOT WORRYING

Senator Schall, Minnesota's blind rep
resentative in the upper house, who is
hewing to strict party lines and fighting
the NRA, has come out with the predic-
tion that under General Johnson's organ
ization there will be a complete censor
ship of newspapers of the nation after
January l.
If the senator's prediction was intended
to spur newspapers into following his
lead and opposing the NRA, he is due to
get big surprise.
The newspaper code as approved by
General Johnson recognizes to the fullest
extent the freedom of the press as guar
anteed in the constitution. Not news
paperman in the country is worrying
about the possibility of censorship.
Even were there no recognition of press
freedom in the NRA code, the newspapers
would never need fear censorship for pub
lie opinion would not stand for it.
The press of the country recognizes
the need for supervision of news in times
of emergency. During the World war the
papers cooperated to the fullest with the
government in guarding news which
might have been of help to the enemy.
There was censorship of type that
IlISIll DeSl Ue leIIleu cooperative CSll-
sorship, with the papers working in har
mony with the government.
What Senator Schall predicts will hap
pen is a press taking dictation from the
government. That has never been done
and it is not likely that it ever will be
done. 1t certainly would not be accepted.
The freedom of the press is one of the
bulwarks of a free nation. There have
been instances when it has been neces-
sary to curb radical journals making un-
justifiable and unwarranted attacks on
the government, but down through the
history of the country the press has stood
free and unbridled.
1t cherishes the confidence reposed in
it by the founders of the constitution and
by the people of the nation. Abuses of
freedom of the press are few, and are
correctible without great injury. A
bridled press would spell the doom of
freedom and substitute Hitlerism for lib
erty.

Behind it's dramatic story of the lives and loves of the stage folk, there is presented com plete musical comedy show. which has been heralded as the most mo- vel and spectacular ever produced for the screen. The musical show was staged by Busby Berkeley, the noted Broadway director, who also created the dance numbers and en- scmbles. One hundred and fifty of the most beautiful girls from the stage or screen were selected by Berkeley from 5000 applicants to take part in the chorus. This was staged in three theaters especial ly constructed at the Warner Bro- thers studio.
