cred in the Ten Thousand club
Monday night to witness the opening

the audience entered right into the
spirit of the thing, throwing pea

A program of musical numbers

After the Ball" and "a Bird in
Gilded Cage"
Coffee and doughnutS were served
free of charge to all wishing them
and after the production many

night in the club house and tickets
may be secured from any junior

AUTO TIRES
By
HOWARD E.
GARRIS

said the Fox. 1T may have sound
ed like it. But mean to catch
well, I won't say up-Tll just say
we'll have to run fast if We want
to catch that rabbit"
Let's Run
"All right, let's rum" agreed the
Wolf. So the two Bad Chaps ran
after the bunny's auto. After a
while he stopped it in the woods
and went off little way to sit On
a toadstool to wait for an adven-
ture to come along.
'Now's our chance!" whispered
the Wolf. We'll let all the air
out of his bologna sausage tires.
When he comes back he'll find all
the tires flat and he'll be so sur
prised he won't know what to do
and we can easily catch him. Quick!
Unscrew the caps from the air
holes of the tires and make them
flat"
"Sure!" agreed the Fox Togeth-
er the Bad Chaps, one on each side
Of the auto, unScrewed the tire
caps. They let out a little air but
no sooner had it begun to hiss than
it blew up a cloud of pepper from
the tires. Into the eyes, noses and
mouths of the Bad Chaps the red
peper was blown and suddenly they
starting sneezing, coughing, wheez-
ing and their eyes filled with tears.
"Oh, wow Wowr' they howled.
And away they ran, having let only
a very little air out. So when Mr..
Longears came back his auto could
run as well as ever and, my, how
he laughed! So if the roller skates
aren't too proud to let the rag doll
slide down hill on them I'll tell you
next about Uncle Wiggily and Pat
