~ouI.D it be that Longbill the
Woodcock really could sing?
Mrs. Longbill had said he
~ could; that he sang in the
dark just for her and that it was q
lovely song Peter Rabbit doubted thi.
In part at least. He doubted that
Iongbill WAS capable of real honest
to-goodness song, it occurred to him
that he hadn't seen Longbill this
Spring.
Where Is Iongbilla" he demanded
"Oh, he is around somewhere, prob
ably looking for me in another part
of the swamp. I've been teasing him
a little by keeping out of his sight.
The Black Shadows are beginning to
arrive and when the dusk is little
deeper he will come TO sing TO me, I
am sure" replied Mrs. Longbill.
'I1l stick around" said Peter to
himself. I'll stick around and find
out If Longbill really does sing"
Mrs. Longbill disappeared just
when or where Peter hadn't the
least idea. The truth is that, sitting
still, doing nothing, Peter had be.

few minutes without realizing it
Mrs. Iongbill had slipped back of &
little clump Of young alders sne
souatted down among the dead brown
leaves. She looked so much like then
that Peter might have looked straight
at her without seeing her.
The dusk had grown quite deer
when Peter saw Mrs. Longbil just {
little way from him. AT least he sup.
posed it was Mrs. Iongbill. He was
just about to ask where she had beer
when he realized that this wasn't Mrs

Brain TwizzIers
BY PROF. J. %. FLINT,

M n. AND MRS. HYLIFE were on
vacation trip. Mrs. Hylife had
watched her husband closely to see
that he didn't get away on any private
excursions because she knew his friy-
olous nature. One evening she decided
bo take a nap before going out, so,
while Mrs. Hylife rested, her husband
went party hunting in the hotel. Be-
ing hunter OF no mean ability he
found his quarry and, although the
Yale lock on the door proved a tenn
porary barrier, was soon singing as far
off key as any one else and even sere-
naded other floors Of the hotel. When
he returned to his room his wife, OF
course. was indignant. BY way Of ex-
PLANTATION Mr.. Hylife falteringly stated
that he had returned to the room sew
eral times but upon peeking through
the keyhole discovered she was still
resting and, he said, You know, dear,
how you bawl me out when disturb
your rest" She started to forgive him,
picked up her coat and the room key
and started TO walk out the door when
she suddenly whirled and caught Mr.
Hylife Off balance with a right hook
AS he crashed to the floor she said,
"Liar!" Why was Mrs. Hylife so harsh
with her husband?

touched the ground. A striking and
impressive sight was Thunderer when
he strutted thus for the admiration
of Mrs. Grouse. Now Longbill was
doing the same thing
To Peter it was funny, rather than
impressive, for you know, Longbills
tail is very short. He had spread it
as much as he could and had cooked
1t as high as he could. He had
thrown back his head as far as he
could and, Of course, this made his
long bill point upward. His spread
wings were lowered and he was strut
ting and bowling In the oldest manner
Peter was on the point of asking
him what all that performance was
for when Longbill took to his wings
N.Y. how rapidly they moved! Slant
ing up through the alders went Long
bill, and began to circle higher and
higher and higher. Peter followed

Then she disappeared As the
Wnstling notes that Peter had heard
before the song were repeated and
came nearer and nearer until Long
Dill alighted only few feet away.
Then he began to strut and bow
again, but somehow after that song
this didn't look so silly TO Peter.
And even after he knew that it was
so, 1t was hard for Peter to believe
that Longbill the Woodcock can and
does sing. Copyright, 1872

AUTOMOBILES ON THE
INCREASE IN DELAWARE

The number of automobiles regis
tered in Delaware will increase by 10
per cent to an all time high this year,
in the opinion of Motor Vehicle Com
missioner lack w. Wells.
Already the total is around $4,000
and is about 1000 ahead of the fig
ure for the same time last year, he
disclosed last week.
General improvement in business
and industry and the fact that Della
wares superior roads are at all times
a strong inducement for automobile
buying were assigned by Mr.. Wells as
the major reason for the gain.
Judging from the present registra-
ton volume, Mr.. Wells said he ex-
poets Delaware's totals to lead most
sections of the country.
The Motor Vehicle Department
ended last year with $4,000 registra-

NEWSPAPERS ARE
NOW CONSIDERED
BEST MEDIUMS

Convinced that newspaper space
represents the most advantageous
medium for merchandising its prod
ucts as evidenced by substantial in
creases in sales of Conoco germ-pro-
cessed motor oil following past news
paper advertising campaigns, Cont
mental Oil Company is again launch
ing large-scale advertising campaign
in some 1400 carefully selected papers
in all sections of the nation. The
campaign will continue into Septem-
Der and will be distinguished by the
fact that it will feature the local deal
er as well as the company's oil.
Surveys conducted by Continental's
advertising department showed two
factors which decided the nature of
the forthcoming campaign. First, it
was ascertained that the best sales
results followed the use of newspaper
advertising; and second, that the aver
age motorist is far more concerned
with the mileage he obtains from his
motor oil than any other single factor.
Correlating this information with
the fact that Continental distribution
is now conducted entirely through 10

tions on it's books. Mr.. Wells said he
is certain the total will run over
$4,000 this year.
The annual automobile inspection
campaign which his department con-
ducts jointly with the Delaware Safety
Council will be held from July IL to
August 81. Mr.. Wells said detailed
plans will be made soon.
He expressed the opinion that Gov.
Richard C. McMullen would not sign
the bill to change the time for buying
tags from Jan. to July 1. The diff
ficulty, he explained is that there
would be only two months to get in
the necessary supplies and to make
all the other arrangements.
AS strictly his own opinion, Mr..
Wells said he thought a change to
July / would be impracticable at this
time. Only one state in the nation,
West Virginia, has July as the tag
date, he said, adding that about 20
have Jan 1, and II have April 1. The
states that have made changes, he
remarked, have done so not less than
a year after the law was enacted.

REDUCTIONS FOR
OVERNIGHT
WIRE SERVICE

Drastic reductions in rates for ov.
ernight telegraph service which will
become effective June 1 will provide
substantial savings to residents OF
Pocomoke City, it was disclosed last
night by Mr.. Matthews, local man
ager of the Western Union Telegraph
Company.
A tariff filed Saturday with the
Federal Communications Commission
at Washington, D. c., will reduce the
cost of both short and long messages
and cut the telegraph bill of the ma
ton by approximately 100000.
"The effect of these reductions, y
Mr.. Matthews said, "Is that the
charge for rs words will be the same
as, and in some cases lower than, the
present charge for a 10-word night
message and that long messages can
be sent at relatively even lower
rates.
"The 1O-word night message will
be discontinued and the initial charge
for night letters will be for rs words
instead of for so as at present. The
maximum charge for a 25-word night
letter will be fifty cents, even for
the greatest distance in the United
States.
words in excess of twenty-five
will be charged for in groups of five
instead of ten, as at present. The
rates start at an unprecedentedly low
level and decrease progressively as
the length of the message increases,
resulting in added-word rates as low
as one cent for five words for mes
sages sent a short distance and, for
night letters sent over the great dis
tances from Pocomoke City, nine
cents for five words in shorter mes
sages and three and one half cents
for each five words sent in excess of
200. This is new principle in rate
making and is designed to facilitate
the use of the Telegraph for all man.
ner of business and social commune
cations, no matter what their length.
Typical reductions in the rates for

"These new overnight rates will en-
able the public to lay down communi-
cations everywhere at the opening of
business the following morning, with
absolute certainty and at extreme
ly low cost, whether the messages be
short or long. They should free the
minds of the public from any thought
that there is occasion to restrict the
number of words in such communica-
tions. In fact the rates are designed
to afford the widest opportunity for
the fullest expression at little cost in
both business and social correspon-
dence."
