asked her to make Jingle and jan

Right gladly will do that, Uncle
Wiggily," said Mrs. Spider But
my cobweb dresses would be too fine
for little rabbit girls TO wear. They
would rip and tear and soon wear
out. But if you will get me some
strong silk from the ears of corn I'll
weave them strong silk dresses
which will wear long time"
The very thing" cried Uncle
Wiggily From some late ears OF
corn the rabbit gentleman gathered
many strands Of green and brown
silk. From this silk Mrs. Spider
Wove two of the cutest dresses you
ever saw. They were just lovely!
And when Uncle Wiggily gave them
TO Jingle and Jangle. the twins were
so happy they hardly knew what to
DO. All the other rabbit girls liked
the corn silk dresses so much that
Uncle Wiggily had to get Mrs. Spi-

even one for Baby Bunty.
And so. with their new clothes,
the bunny girls were happy. And il

NEWS IN THE ADS

News is told in the advertising space
of newspaper, as we'll as in the news
columns.
Last night The Press carried an ad-
vertisement from the Somerton Cham
Der of Commerce, stating that housing
facilities are needed in that town.
The need arises from the opening of
three vegetable packing sheds in the
Arizona city, and the advertisement
states every available house in the town
is now occupied by permanent residents.
This is indeed news and good news
at that. On numerous occasions in the
past few years, chambers of commerce
have been forced to insert advertisements
urging outsiders to stay away from their
towns because there was no employment.
Asking persons to come is somewhat un-
iQue now, though it was once the big
job for chambers of commerce.
We hope Somerton gets a full house.
