The membership of st. James

time this week. Starting Wednes-
day evening with Bible institute
led by the Rev. A. L. Byrd and

Bible study on Thursday evening
including also talk by the Rev.

at 2 o'clock, the Rev. L. c. Hicks
of st. Paul's Methodist church will
be guest speaker and Mr.. James

The King County Platform

of the policies of the Republican
party in this State and in this

Such program was due in no
small measure to the earnest con-

furnished by you at the meetings
of the Platform Committee.
The presentation by you of your
particular problem, and the very
effective and eloquent speeches by
those whom you introduced to
our Committee, did much in MAX
ing the vote of our Committee un-
animous for the plank introduced
by you.
If your committee intend to pre-
sent the matter to the State Plat

assist in such a manner as may
seem best. In this connection, for
my information, will you try to
ascertain-and to have your Com
mittee emphasize-the number of

So far as Peter Rabbit could re-
member, he never had known such a
silent world as he was living in now.
Usually, even on the coolest days Of
winter, there are some voices to be
heard. the CHEEKY call of Tommy
Tit the Chickadee, or the harsh
scream of Sammy Jay, or the Scold-
ing of Chatterer the Red Squirrel.
But Peter heard none of these now.
All day he listened for some sound
to tell him that he had neighbors,
but he listened in vain. No more did
he hear the tattoo of Drummer the
Woodpecker in the Old Orchard.
Sammy Jay seemed to have lost his
voice entirely, or else something had
happened to him. Peter Shivered as
he wondered if the latter could be
true. Only when the Black Shadows
had crept out from the Purple Hills
were voices to be heard, and these
were not voices he cared to hear
the yap Of Reddy Fox, the yelp of
Old Man Coyote, and the hoot Of
Hooty the Owl. And Il was al be-
