BEDTIME STORIES
BY HOWARD E. GARRIS
(CopyrighS 1884 by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate)

Muster, Duster and all the rest, in
cluding Baby Bunty. They ate their
breakfast and when Nurse Jane
told them they weren't to go to
school, they gave a shout and said:
Zine and dandy! Daddicums will
play with us!"
Yes, Unkie Wig, make some
fun!' said Baby Bunty. Lets play
tag!"
Now I'm in for it," thought Mr..
Longears. We'll, here goes!"
So he played tag with the bun
ny rabbits all around through the
bungalow, until, after they had
knocked over seven chairs, tipped
ever the dining room table and
scratched the piano, Mrs. Longears
said:
mo more of that! You'll have to
go up in the attic and play!"
"Oh, goodie!" shouted Jingle.
"Well have fun there!"
Come on, Daddicums!' yelled
Jingle, dragging her father up the
attic stairs by his ears. Make some
fun for us up there!"
"Oh, if the rain would only stop
SO they could go to school," said Un-
Gle Wiggily to himself. But it poured
harder than ever.
Once up in the attic, all of sud-
den, the rabbit gentleman had an
idea. He found some long pieces of
string and bits of paper.
Now all you sit down quietly he
| told his children, land I will make
some dancers for you"
Real dancers?" asked Baby Bun
! ty, the orphan.
Real paper dancers" said Mr..
| Longears. Out Of pieces of paper he
cut many little dolls, some fat, some
| thin. and some tall and some short
He fastened these paper dolls on the
long string with paste. Next he tied
cne end of the string to an old spin
ming wheel in a corner. Stretching
out the string as far as it would
go, Uncle Wiggily held the other
end and jerked it. At once the paper
dolls, whose feet just touched the
attic floor, jumped up and down
and did all manner of funny cap
ers.
"Oh, what lovely rainy-day fun!
cried Jingle May we make some
paper dancers for ourselves?"
"Yes," said Uncle Wiggily. He
showed them how and soon every
bunny was dancing his or her string
Of paper dolls. Such fun No Won
der they were sorry when the rair
was over. And if the pussy ca
doesn't stick her claws into the win
dow shade and get an elevator ride

about Uncle Wiggily's white UNI

REVERSAL OF FORM

something unique in politics as con-
cerned with newspapers, occurred this
week and is worth recounting.
As it would not be fair to other candi-
dates to mention the name of the partie-
ular otfice-seeker involved. that part of
II must be left out of this tale.
he IS a candidate for a high state
offlee. This week a check for SO was
sent to The Press, accompanied by the
request that it be placed to the candi-
oates account and a statement that in
structlons for advertising it is to cover
will be sent some time prior to the
August primary
The letter also stated that a check for
this purpose has been sent to every news
paper IN the state, large or small, Re-
publican, Democratic or of other politi-
cal faith, daily or weekly, influential or
weak
Something tells US that the newspa-
pers are going to look somewhat favor
ably on this mans candidacy. They may
not support him, but he is quite likely
to get the breaks" when it comes to
dishing out publicity.
The procedure he has adopted is radi-
cally different from the course usually
adopted by office seekers.
Inc usual custom is TO do the papers
favor" by sending in reams of publi-
city about the candidate, ignoring the
fact that newspaper space is for sale
and that such as is extended gratis must
come under the heading of legitimate
news or be given free through the good
will of the publishers. Most newspapers
try to be fair about political publicity,
but they know that candidates for office
pay out their money for radio appear
ances, for cards and posters, for halls,
bands, speakers and other forms of ad-
vertising. The papers are unable to un-
derstand why the candidate is willing to
pay for all these other agencies, but
balks at paying for political advertis-
ing in the papers. He expects that to be
given him freely, probably under the
mistaken idea that words about himself
constitute news The newspapers,
however, assume that he takes such
course because he thinks he can get
away with it as far as the papers are
concerned.
1t may have been so once but times
have changed in the newspapers the same
as in any other business institution. The
publisher, not the political candidate,
still remains the judge of what is
news" and what is "free advertising,
which explains why so much of what the
politician considers news" finds its
way to the waste-basket.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S RAINY DAY

June days in Woodland near the
Orange Ice Mountains, where Uncle
Wiggily lived, were nearly always
warm, sunny days. They had, as a
rule, just enough wind to blow the
animal boys kites or to dry the
clothes of the doll children which
the animal girls hung on lines to
dry Yes, June was lovely month.
But not all of the days of June
can be lovely, though many of them
are like that. Once in a while it will
rain on a June day and that is what
happened now. 1t was the day after
Uncle Wiggily had watched the Fox
and Wolf eat his mud pies, thinking
they were real
After the Bad Chaps ran away,
their mouths full of mud, as well as
some in their eyes, Uncle Wiggily

Poor Mrs. Mouse.

MORE GRIEF
PLANNED FOR
BO0TLECCERS

WASHINGTON. June %. WP)-
With beer and liquor taxes jump
ing to a new nigh, another i'm
portant step to halt bootlegging
was underway To-Day.
A system making it virtually i'm
possible for bootleggers to refill
genuine bottles with the illegal
liquor will be initiated July l.
Henry Morgenthau, Jr., secretary
of the treasury, said he had OBJ
tained an agreement between liquor
and bottle manufacturers under
which all liquor bottles beginning
July l will have blown in them the
name or symbol of the manufact-
urer, the year manufactured and a
statement cautioning that refill is
illegal
Bottle manufacturers will be IL
censed. They will file a copy of
each order with the treasury. These
will be checked with copies of bot
tie orders given by liquor manufac-
turers so that bottles cannot be di-
verted to illicit channels.
Meantime the treasury reported
liquor taxes had hit an annual
rate of $350,000,000 and now COM
prise more than 10 per cent of the
government IS total income.
Beer and liquor tax revenues in
May reached new high of $29,-
198,507, or nearly million dollars

$500, ,164, the largest monthly
total since sale of beer was be-

The late President Taft had 13
degrees, while Calvin Coolidge had
six. The only president with none
at all was Andrew Jackson, who
never went to school.
To give credit where credit is due,
this information was dug up by
Miss Margaret F. Ryan of the fed

ined all the records of the psuedo-
education OF Presidents.
Henry A. Morgenthau, Jr., Sec
retary of treasury, has joined the
list of government officials who
manufacture iced air in their Off
ces, to make them cool like cucum-

Others include President Roose-

Worst sufferers Of all are those
poor mortals who work for the
Tennessee Valley Authority and the
Agricultural Extension Service. They
are housed in the paper-shell build
ings which were slapped together as
temporary, wartime structures.
So hot do they become that whole
offices must be closed to keep clerks
from falting during the hottest
days of 0le summer.
For II years the government has
talked, but done nothing, about raz-
ing these buildings, which have be-
come eye-sores such as exist in few
other cities. They are gray, dirty
and gaunt. Their position across a
green from the beautiful group of
Grecian structures on Constitution

EDITORIAL PACE
and
FEATURES
COUNCIL CONNENDED

Any individual or business which can
show an increased bank account in these
Hines, is certainly deserving of credit
and the credit is even more deserved
when the business happens to be mum
icipality.
LaXness with public money is motor
ious throughout the nation and perhaps
throughout the world. Graft" has be-
come by-word in American politics and
the average citizen has taken it for
granted that he must accept graft" as
a necessary evil in the administration of
his public affairs
1t is therefor somewhat astonishing to
him to find out, even under ordinary cir
cumstances, that his city is not lin the
red" When he gets such information in
these times of financial stress, he is
tempted to throw his hat in the air and
give three cheers.
All of which is preliminary to saying
that Ell Centro's city council is to be
commended for its conduct of the affairs
of this community. We may say it is no
more than a public official should do,
yet we have before us the example of so
many other municipalities, larger and
smaller than Ell Centre, where the debt
is steadily mounting.
Report made to the city council this
week shows bank deposit of $685. 900,
an increase of $4,000 over last year.
1t would be ridiculous to thank the
city council for not grating" and we
have no intention of insulting the men,
bers of that body by making any such
statement We do, however, extend our
congratulations to them for conducting
the affairs of the city in such an econ
omical and businesslike manner that the
books of the city are written in black and
not in red.
The report is an indication that the
council members are giving to the af-
fairs of the city the same conscientious
attention that they give to their private
businesses That, in the final analysis,
is all that the people ask of those who
hold public office. If every office-hold-
er did it, the woes of the nation would
be reduced considerably.
