UNCLE WIGGHY'S COOKIE
PARTY

What are you laughing at, Un-
Gle Wiggily?" asked Nurse Jane
Fuzzy WuZZy one morning as she
saw the rabbit gentleman's fat
stomach juggling up and down as
he thought of something funny. He
was sort of laughing to himself.
Tell me the joke" begged the
muSkrat lady housekeeper.
1T isn't exactly joke" said Un-
Gle Wiggily. But just happened to
think of something very nice for
the animal children to have a good
time with, now that they are on
their vacations from school,"
Don't you think they are hav-
ing good times by just not going
to school?" asked Nurse Jane.
We'll" said Mr.. Longears, slow
ly, as he twinkled his pink nose,
"of course it's fun not to have to
go to school. But when you stay
out more than two months, some
times it isn't easy to find fun for

my rabbit children aren't having

That's SO" agreed Nurse Jane.
They often come to me and ask

why he wants us to bring cookies
TO a party?"
You'll find out when you get
there said Nurse Jane. And
though Bunty and the others teas
ed her to tell them what it was all
about Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy would
not.
At last came the day of the
cookie party. Dozens of animal
children, each one with a cookie
in a paper bag, marched to the
woods where Uncle Wiggily wait
ed for them. He was keeping his
part of the secret very we'll.
All of sudden, when the crowd
of children animals were almost at
the party place, Lulu Wibblewob-
! Bile, duck girl, opened her cookie
bag and began to quack and cry
very loudly. Oh, it was dreadful
cry.
And what it was all about I'll
tell you tomorrow night. Then the
story will be Uncle Wiggily's party
fun. And I hope the ice cream
doesn't try to play hide and &c
seek with the gas stove or it may
turn into a puddle of molasses.

"How?" asked the muskrat lady.
I'm going to invite them to a

swered.
You mean you are going TO bake

WHAT FIENDS MEN ARE!

THE MOST degraded specimen of hu-
! manity is the drug addict, the so-called
mop head The undesirable honor is
gwen him with full realization of the
degraded conditions in which many saw
ages live.
Contrasting with his depravity and
general wretchedness is the sleek appear
ing race horse, carefully groomed and
presumably watched as closely as small
baby. The beauty of the race horse is
apparent even to those who may not be
classed as animal lovers.
Last week the government exposed a
plot in Chicago by which fiends in human
form were changing beautiful, thor
oughbred race horses into hop heads"
in order that the horses might run faster
and win more money for their owners
and for those ''in the know" who would
bet on them.
The deadly drug heroin, was found in
large quantities in the racing stables.
It's effect on horses is reputed to be the
same as upon men. 1t makes the AMI
mails excited and vigorous for short
time but eventually reduces them to mis-
cradle wrecks.
One might ask why SO much solicitude
for dumb animals while human beings
are also being turned into drug addlcts
daily Lamentable as the creation OF
human drug addict is, it has to be ad-
mitted that in the majority of cases it
is because they are too weak to resist
the appeal of the drug. The dumb AMI
NAL has no choice. The drug is forced
into him by his masters.
That such viciousness can exist III
these supposed days of enlightenment is
difficult to believe Whatever other
faults may be associated with race
track men it has always been taken for
granted that they love their horses and
guard them carefully. The Chicago af-
fair has exposed this belief as fallacy,
and has emphasized the truth OF the
statement that men will do anything for
money.
The federal government has arrested
seven men in connection with the CHI
cago plot. There is hope that they will
eventually wind up where they belong
behind the bars.
Racing has received many black eyes
all of them its own fault. Unless
those controlling it take steps to stop
this horrible practice it will become as
extinct as the dodo.

Henry Ford at 20 can enjoy laugh at

UnuUashed Inmates

Inmates of the Pima county jail

Deputy Sheriff Frank Murphy, who
was called to quell a disturbance

Two prisoners protested the lack
of daintiness of the pair, Murphy

SAFETY FIRST"

COME readers may construe this as free
- advertising for the tire dealers. If it
will be the means of making even small
number of motorists check up on their
tires we will not feel offended if it is
considered free publicity or anything
else.
A highly respected local family is be-
reaved of its husband and father: the
community is deprived of a faithful SER
want and outstanding citizen-because
somebody didn't think ii essential to
check up on his tires.
Car owners are often heard to brag
of the speed of their car, its hill-climb-
ing ability, or the mobility with which it
can be maneuvered in traffic. These are
desirable attributes in any car but they
are not hoot in the wind compared to
having adequate brakes and safe tires.
The sorrowful tragedy which this
community has suffered, should drive
home lesson that will be needed by all
driving automobiles. Here was a family
out for a Sunday excursion, the same as
hundreds of other valley families and
millions of families throughout the
country
Their car was driven by man noted
fer his observance of traffic regulations
a careful driver, who never took
chance" and who was doubly heedful of
the need for safety because of the pres
ence of an injured boy in his car De-
spite every precaution the driver used,
he forfeited his life and his wife and son
suffered severe injuries because a tire
blew out on a passing car.
One can have the most mechanically
perfect car ever turned out by the manu-
facturers, yet if the tires be bad those
riding in it not only risk their own necks
but they expose to death or terrible in
jury every human whom they pass in the
course of their travels.
Let the car owner by all means be So
icitous for its fine appearance; for speed
and for comfort; for adequate supplies
of fuel oil and water; let him be certain
of all details-after he has first made
sure his brakes and tires are what they
should be, and our terrible traffic death
toll will start to reduce.

the spade finesse should lose, SO
would the contract, while Al split
in trump would not necessarily be
fatal. North elected to try the spade
finesse first, and, when the jack held
the first trick, diamond was re-
turned and ruffed in his own hand.
Another spade was led, the king be-
ing covered by the ace, and dummy's
last club was ruffed in the North
hand.
Declarer then led the king OF
hearts, which East won with the ace,
and returned club, West wisely re-
fusing to trump.
North trumped, led the queen of
hearts, and then put dummy in the
lead with the queen of spades. West
must ruff whatever Is led from dunn
my, and North will over-ruff, making
the last two tricks and his contract.
Notice that the declarer had to re-
duce his trump holding by ruffing
four times so that he might put the
lead into dummy at the eleventh
trick, and this is the only way he
could avoid losing two heat tricks.

ton be called on the question of
abandoning the commission form of
government and restoring the coun-

served on the city auditor that the
committee contends that when these
petitions are filed in your office, they
become public documents and no

This action was taken because sim

that they had approximately 1000
