Hidden in the grapevine, Uncle

UNCLE wIGGILY's GRAPEVINE

One day Uncle Wiggily came hop
ping up to the back steps of his
hollow stump bungalow and said
to Nurse Jane:
81 was Just down looking at my
grapevine and it IS all ready
"Ready for WHAT" Nurse Jane
wanted to know.
"Ready to be picked, " said Un-
Gle Wiggily. THE grapes are ripe
and If you will give me basket
I'll gather some for you and you
can make them into Jam and jel-
ly.
"Ill do that said Nurse Jane.
"Ill make lot of jam and jelly
for the children to spread on their
bread and butter"
Every goodP' said MIR. Longears.
"Now get me basket, please, and
III fill it full Of ripe grapes for
you.
Bob Cat Sees Him
AS Uncle Wiggily started down
toward hi sgrapevine with the bas-
ket he was seen from over the
fence by the Bob Cat who had been
sinking around the bungalow the
last few days, trying TO sell his sill
ly little tail.
The Bob Cat wanted TO sell his
silly little tail because he was
ashamed of 1t. He had the small
est tail Of any OF the animals ex-
cepting a guinea pig, who has no
tail at all. But none Of the ami
mails would so much as give the
Bob Cat q penny for his tail so he
had 10 keep it. He saw Uncle Wig
gily hurrying down the path with
his basket to gather grapes.
"Ah, hal" snickered the Bob
Cat. THAT rabbit has something
good in his basket. I'll sink along
after him, eat what's in the bas-
ket and then I'll nibble him. This
Is my lucky dayl Ha! Hal"
"Now ] can easily get himl y

so softly over the fence that Uncle
Wiggily, who was now picking
grapes, did not hear the padding
feet sinking toward him.
Now the best grapes on the Ylne
grew rather far in. SO that the
rabbit had 70 push his way through
the clumps Of leaves TO reach them

STATES MAY LEAD WAY

A good many years ago, when the
French economist de Tocqueville came
over to see what sort of country the Am
erican people were making for them
selves, he reported that the best thing
about II was the fact that the states could
serve as laboratories for experiments in
government, which the nation as whole
was not yet ready to try.
Growing Capitalization of authority,
coupled with an increasing Standard
zation of manners and customs, has kept
the states from doing very much of this
laboratory work of late years. Now,
however, it looks as if we were about
ready to give it try.
Ducking ones head to avoid stray
bricks, one can begin by mentioning the
possibility of Upton Sinclair's election in
California. Whatever fears his compli-
Gated scheme for handling unemploy-
ment may arouse, it is at least pretty
obvious that it is far better to have a
new and possibly impractical stunt like
that tested within the confines of one
state than throughout the nation as a
whole.
Then there is Oklahoma, where E. w.
Marland-once an oil king, now a pro-
gressive experimenter expects to be-
come governor in January and to try out
vast S100,o00,000 subsistence home
stead project, with an auxiliary program
for the use of many small manufactur-
ing plants to relieve urban unemploy-
ment.
Programs like these, of Mr.. Sinclair
and Mr.. Marland, may rank with the
most wildly impractical ideas that the
human race ever conceived. That, at this
moment, is not the point.
Tho noiOt iS that ol1r unar1 nj l0vy,aop4
situation is rapidly becoming one of
those progressively developing puzzles
like the unbalanced budget which plagued
Louis XVI of France. Louis, you may
recall, fiddled around with this puzzle
until it got out of hand, and he wound
up under Dr. Guillotin's knife.
Since this problem is becoming so
great number of people are clamoring
for new method of approach to its So
luton. Such clamor inevitably leads to
experimentation And We are extreme
ly fortunate that our political set-up per-
mits US to experiment by states-to ex-
pertinent, that is, on small scale, with
out involving the nation as whole.
The ability of the individual states to
try out new methods of government may
yet prove our salvation in this crisis.
