Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Bobby Coon had been out all night
and he was tired and so sleepy
that 1t was all he could do to climb
up to his home in the hollow tree
No sooner did he tumble into bed
than he was fast asleep.
Now, Bobby Coon is a great
practical joker. There is nothing
that he likes better than to play
q joke on some of the little people
of the Green Meadows and the
Green Forest. and every night after
he has filkd his stomach he goes
about playing tricks.
Ever since the morning when
Johnny Chuck had slept until nearly
noon because Bobby Coon had
covered his doorway with hay so
that no light could get down to his
bedroom, and so he didn't know
when to get up, Johnny had been
trying and trying to think of some
plan to get even with Bobby Coon.
He had called in Jimmy Skunk, who
had spent all Of one morning trying
to find his own house, which Bobby
Coon had buried In sand while
Jimmy was out hunting beetles.
Suddenly they heard q sound in
the big hickory which made Jimmy
Skunk Jump and dance q Jig.

Bobby Coon was wide awake
this time as he scrambled up to
his doorway, and he was mad way

making such racket; 1t was Drum

to drum he could just 60 find some
other hollow tree! Bobby stuck
his head out. No one was to be
seen, but this time the noise didn't
stop. Oh, my, no! It was louder
than ever, but 1t came from the

Finally Bobby Coon stopped to ~

over and over on the ground with
laughter. Gradually Bobby Coon
began to see the joke.

then ran off his twelve top tricks

He should have discarded two clubs

clubs and the ace and one spade.
East would have to keep the club

Overbid, but UnderpIoyed

Dear Four Aces" writes William
D. Lee Of Chicago, Ill, II think you
will agree with me when say that
q player should not be optimistic
unless he is certain that he will
always play the hand so as to get
the most out Of the cards. At first
glance you would think was fortu-
nate to hold the North hand after
my partner had opened with two
no-trump. I made the modest re-
sponse Of four diamonds, expecting
to arrive at a nice small slam con-
tract, when my partner, whose two
no-trump bid was not too robust
to start with, made the amazing
bid of seven no-trump. This was
the play.

BIG RALLY AT
 ELTON TONIGHT
Two Groups Sponsor Speakers; Against U. s.
 War Participation

Several hundred persons are ex- pected to attend the public rally which will be held in the ballroom of the Elton hotel this evening which will be sponsored by the Committee to Keep America Out of Foreign Wars and the Mothers of American sons. The meeting is scheduled to start promptly at 8 o'clock and will be addressed by sev- eral speakers.
 Oswald Garrison Willard, noted expsrt on European affairs, writer lecturer and former editor for Ma ton will be one of the principal speakers. MT. Willard recently de- bated the conscription bill now be- fore the United States senate with Congressman William Miller in Hartford. The debate was attended by an exceptionally large audience
 Ndwaro J. Ryan of Thomaston bitter opponent of the New Deals foreign policy, will be another speaker. MT. Ryan during the past few months has won wide spread approval because of his frank and fearless attacks against inter- vention in the present European war.
 The meeting tonight will attract considerable attention throughout this city as many persons are anx- ious to hear both MT. Ryan and MT Willard.
 A number of proposals will be pre- sented to this evenings meeting fol adoption and petitions will be cir culated among the audience asking that the people of this country de- mand that President Roosevelt and the United States congress keer America out of war.
 The committee will also appoint a Bundles for Americans committee It is planned that tbe Bundles for Americans will operate for the ben. cit of needy families in this city Names of such needy families will be obtained by the committee from

has several one-room school houses to keep in repair. With all those responsibilities, there is lit- tie time left to indulge in politics. We predict that MT. C0er will run for First Selectman on the Re- publican ticket again.
 Miss Louise M. Lawton, head of the order department of the Hen ry Holt Company of New York, has purchased land near Hulls Hill at Rocky Mountain where she will soon start building. Peter Bill jo, noted Russian concert master, will join her in the development.
 Contractor Peterson is building 8 cellar and will soon start work on dwelling for Fireman Evans of the new training school. Bob Platt has struck water in the Tal- bolt we'll on the Purchase and dirt is flying there as a cellar is scoOped out.
 The Reverend Lindsay, pastor of the South Britain Congrega- tional church, is enjoying a vaca- tion.
 Again we are worrying about wild life. Campers near Sand Corner report unearthly barking by some yarmint that starts rum ming at Georges Hill and circles through the woodland and pas ture past the Glacial Erratic and along the slopes of Skunk Hollow. Our folks don't frighten easily but this beast has almost everyone worried. Experts have tried un- successfully to identify the crea- ture, trappers have considered set ting snares for him, and mothers are making the children report indoors little earlier.
 We know of one wild dog in the township, supposedly left here by WPAster who left the village in a hurry when the investigations WClC uAlOCi way uP VAAC NdlACy, Ndb this deg is harmless. His usual hunting ground is in George Gris- graber'S pasture and he seems to have assumed the responsibility for the care of the Grisgraber COWS. It is extremely doubtful if that dog has any part in the barking and bowling that has our crowd worried.
 Some people wonder if that noise isn't the barking of wolves unleashed here by members of the German-American Bund; others are just as certain that the beast Is a gray fox. Nate Evarts has not been able to identify the prowler but it might be just a disappoint- ed applicant for employment at the State Hospital who lamentS a low Merit System rating.

Some others among the 24 men named are well known advocates of alliance with Germany and Italy, and right wing elements are strongly represented.
 The new commission is to hold its first meeting August 28.
 Yakichiro Suma. chief foreign office spokesman, said that yester- days unprecedented diplomatic shake-up was connected with the organization of the new political structure. He said 1t was designed to give fresh aspect to the foreign service.
