present.
Thank you, Miss Mouse" said
Bunty. What kind of present, if

"A game" answered Miss Mouse
do you like to play games, Bunty?"
"Oh, yes'm, Miss Mouse. 1 like to
play tag and hide-and-seek and rab-
-the-corner. Are you going to
give me that kind of a game?'
Not exactly" laughed Miss Mouse
you couldn't carry either of those
games around with you and have
somebody play them with you. But
you can do that with the game I'm
going to give you. It's checkers"
"Oh, yes, I know. l used to see
Unkie Wig and Mr.. Twistytail, the

play it,"

BETTER HOME
WANTED

The Rural Community Theatre or
ganization, which sponsors a series
of one-act plays each year during the
Butler county fair, wants better ac-
commodations for the presentations.
A committee Of the organization
appeared before directors of the But
Ter County Agricultural Society last
Saturday and made an appeal, either
for remodeling of the building hereto
fore used, or a new theatre building.
A building which was originally used
as a dining hall has housed the rural
theatre in recent years.
''We realize that the building needs
comprehensive repairs M, E. Muir
ray, president of the fair board, said.
ct wuold be splendid if we could erect
an entire new theatre building for this
worthwhile phase Of the fair pro
gram.
Like many other fair boards
throughout the state, financial condi-
tions are the obstacle that faces the
Butler County Agricultural Society.
Otherwise, the board would gladly
make the necessary repairs.

WE'LL KEEP LABOR
FREE
In 1885, Say Southern Bosse
Industrial Leaders Proclaim
War on Unionism and
Fair Wages.

Chattanooga, Tenn. (ILNS)-War
on organized labor was declared by
Southern industrial leaders here, at
meeting of the Southern States IN
dustrial Council.
The council, which is hostile to Sec
ton IA of the recovery act, and which
opposes higher wages for Southern
workers, cloaked its declaration Of
war under high-sounding phrases,
expressing its determination to keep
Southern labor free" in 1885 and
pledging itself to take every neces-
sary step against manipulation and
exploitation" Of labor in the South
by amy organized labor aristoc
racy'
The council proclaimed that in 1885
it will seek lower Southern wage diff
ferentials to compensate for competi-
tive conditions, and will resist expan-
sion Of government enterprise in the
field of competitive business The
council also resolved to seek more adj
vantageous freight rates for Southern
shippers.
George H. Admistead, editor Of the
Nashville, Tenn, Banner, said in an
address that the right to work" is
as fundamental as the right to strike,
and that governments should uphold
that right
The councils declaration of policy
included an attack on Section IA,
which provides for collective bargain
ing.
Concluding that it should be either
abolished or reformed" the coun-
Gil declared that reform should make
labor organizations that have the
legal right to collective bargaining
also have responsibility for the dis
charge of contractural obligations, and
full legal liability for any injury
ch they may do to the rights or
property of Others"

STRAIGHT FROM
WASHINGTON
BY STEPHEN NJ. YOUNG

Congressman Lea, of California, has
again offered his resolution to amend
our constitution by providing for
direct election of president and vice
president in accordance with the pop
ular vote. The electoral college is an
archaic institution. Of course, the
president and vice president should be
elected by direct vote instead of by
the unique method devised more than
one hundred and fifty years ago for
thirteen orphan colonies. Times have
changed. If George Washington and
Thomas Jefferson would arise from
their graves they would not know this
country, yet we still wear the same
political cloak-torn, tattered and out
moded as it is in many particulars.
The electoral college should be plac-
ed on the scrap heap along with stage
coaches, tallow dips, mustache cups
and fiintlock muskets.
Congressman VIM. A. Ashbrook, of
the 18th District, who is one Of the
elder statesmen of the house, was ac-
costed by Finly Gray, with whom he
served in congress fourteen years
ago.
Congressman Ashbrook was at
that time a bachelor. The other day
he introduced his former colleague
to his wife and five children, ranging
from twelve to four years of age.
Well" said Gray, surveying the little
Ashbrooks, "you haven't been exactly
idle since / saw you last"
