Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Peter Rabbit was prisoner in q
hollow between the stones of the
old wall on the edge of the Old
orchard. Black Pussy had chased
him there, and now she was keep
ing watch just outside. Peter didn't
particularly mind staying in there.
He had room to turn around, and
he was fairly comfortable, except
that one leg smarted where the
sharp claws of Black Pussy had torn
through his trousers just as he had
dived to safety through the opening
between the stones of the wall. He
wouldn't have particularly minded
being a prisoner there but for one
thing. He knew that sooner or later
Black Pussy would give up and go
away and then he could make his
escape back to the dear Old Brier
Patch: the thing that worried him
was that he would have no way of
knowing when Black Pussy did go.
He would have to guess when the
way was clear, and If he should
guess ong-Well it made him
shiver to think what might happen.
So he wisely decided to be patient.
AS long as he remained where he
was he was safe, and that was the
most important thing. So Peter
tried to take a nap, and because
everything was SO quiet he presently
began to nod, and in a few minutes
was alseep. BY and by he began
to dream. 1t was horrid bad
dream in which Black Pussy, five
times as big as she really is, had
surprised him far from any place
Of safety, and was telling him what
dreadful things she was going to
do to him. Finally she put out
great paw armed with cruel looking
claws to seize him. Peter gave a
frightened jump and-bumped his
head. His eyes flew open and with
great sigh of thankfulness he
found that he was still snug and
safe in the hollow In the old stone
wall.
Peter rubbed his head where he
had bumped it when he had jumped
in his sleep, then he began to Won
der. He began to wonder how long
he had been asleep. 1t seemed to
him that he had been asleep a long
time. Really he had had only
very short nap. If he had slept
long time as he was sure he had,
perhaps py this time Black Pussy
had given up and gone away. The
more ne thought about it the more
sure he felt that she must have
Still, he didn't quite dare poke his
head outside for a look around.
I'll wait a little longer" thought
Peter. Il DON'T want to stay here
all day if I can help it, and I'm
very sure, I'm very sure, that I was
asleep so long that that black nuis-
ance must have grown tired of
waiting"
He listened with his long ears
cooked to catch the least suspicious
sound, but not a thing could he hear
save the sound of Bully and Mrs.
Bully, the English Sparrows, quar-
reling over in Farmer Browns door,
way and the CHEEKY voice of We'll
come Robin from the far side of the
Old Orchard. At last Peter made
up his mind that the way was clear.
He stole up close to the opening.
Without putting his head out he
could see the blue, blue sky over
head, and the tiptop branches of
an apple tree. He was still sitting
there trying to make up his mind to
poke his head out for look around
when VINO should alight on the tip
top branch of the apple tree but
Welcome Robin.
r Cheer up! Cheer up! Cheer up!
Cheer!" said Welcome Robin, and

while. Still, I hate that cat so much
that would like to upset her plans.
She has ne business to be hanging
around the Old orchard, anyway.
Anyway, we can have some fun with
her"
Just as he lifted his wings to fly
he saw something move. He waited
to see who it might be. When he
made out the face of Peter Rabbit
he nearly lost his balance in his
surprise. 1t was plain that Peter
was going to poke his head out.
Look out, Peter! I mean, don't
look out! That wicked cat is wait
ing for you!' screamed Welcome
Robin at the top of his voice.

Now, of course, Welcome Robin
didn't know anything about Peters
troubles, but as he sat there singing
he happened to look down and saw
Black Pussy. He knew by the way
she was sitting and the way that
she kept her eyes fastened on a
certain opening between the stones
in the old wall that she was wait
ing for some one to come out there
Welcome Robin stopped singing.
Nov, I wonder who is in there"
thought he. Probably it is Striped
Chipmonk or Chatterer the Red
Squirrel. If it is Chatterer it will
do him good to be kept prisoner

Take Ny Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Saturday Roll Call
BY Will Eisner
BY Art huhta

Oakland: What is meant by a
"traoewind?"-Mrs. N. H. R.
Answer: It is a wind that blows
regularly from the same direction,
usually from the east toward the
equator. The original meaning of
trade" was "a track, or course"
Austin: Is 1t correct to omit the
sound Of ''h" in pronouncing such
words as when, where, what, why?"
j. D.
Answer: The words should be
pronounced as If they were spelled
"hwen, hwere, hwat, hwy" In
deed, the original spelling was
"hwaenne, hwaer, hwaet, hwy" but
the "h" and "w'' later became
transposed for some undisclosed
reason.
Los Angeles: Please pronounce
the French phrase "objets dart"
meaning "articles OF artistic value"
Mrs. H.
Answer: The cts" of "objets" and
the st" of dart" are silent. The
"a" of dart" is approximately as
fiat as In carrot. Say: awb-zheh
OAR.
Nashville: A headline reads,
"Gremlins Are Suspicioned." Can't
you do something's
Answer: suspicion" should not
be used as verb, though it is COM
mon in colloquial speech. Correct:
"Gremlins Are Suspected" Use
suspicion" as noun only, as:
"Cremlins are under suspicion"
Oklahoma City: The words "de-
positary' and depository" confuse
me. Are these words the same?-
Mrs. j. D.
Answer: Broadly speaking, the
words are synonymous. But it is
better to preserve this distinction:
Use "depositary" in the meaning
of "a person who receives a de-
posit." Use depository" for "a
place where deposits are received
and safeguarded."

A COMMERCIAL DOLLAR VS.. A DOLLAR
&C. J. Doherty in Missoula County I

In the Times you will find advertisements from the Montana Power
These firms are what is known a private enterprise They are not
government owned although to IN extent they are government con-
toled Were such firms government owned there would be no advertis-
ing in The Times columns from them. The government does not ad-
vertse. 1t does not need to. What it does not receive free it goes with
out and continues S ar exact monopoly
I have been thinking of the advertising dollar I receive from the
utilities and the railroads. What a I to do with it? Well, part of it
goes to myself and family The remainder is divided up IS part of the
payroll for the people who work for me in my business. A share goes
to taxes to keep III schools operating. A share goes to the city, county,
state and nation to keep the u S A. the greatest nation on the globe.
A share goes to aid religious and charitable institutions that area part
of this republic. Civic enterprise gets a share. Fraternal and patriotic
organizations get a share. War bonds and stamps get a share. Wholesale
paper houses get a share. Machinery manufacturers get a share So also
does the electrician, the wader, the auto mechanic, the painter, the car
penter, the dairy a and the laundry man. Off hand 1 can not list the
number of people, businesses and industries that I spend my money with.
From the number I have listed you can SCI that my money goes around.
Included among the dollars 1 send revolving through the community are
the dollars I thankfully receive from the utilities and the railroads. Were
they government owned I would not receive a thin dime from them in
the form of advertising. In this instance if my attitude is selfish, then.
it must be selfish for those who get the bulk of my dollar - is listed
above.
Furthermore, the utilities and the railroad ads carry an interesting
and instructive message to my readers. Often the message is one that
aims to help the war effort. This in turn, helps offset the thousands
of inches of free advertising W give the government Is aid to the
war effort.
And finally there is ample proof that private enterprise operates more
efficiently than the government If the OPA were handling tn railroads
and utilities, God help us.

ACCOMPLISHES SOME GOOD

1t now appears certain that the effort to postpone drafting
of pre-Pearl Harbor fathers will meet defeat in congress. A
majority of the representatives, no doubt rejecting views of
their constituents, feel that such matters must be left to our
military leaders for final decision in wartime. But the debate
generated has accomplished some good in other ways. For
example, it has brought into the lmelight the fact that hundreds
of thousands of federal employees in Washington and elsewhere
will provide excellent draft material and congress is about to
take definite action on this phase of the manpower problem.
The arguments have also served to point up the acuteness of
that problem, with the revelation that many key production
men from industry have already been taken into the armed
forces. There is a realization that perhaps some of them will
be more valuable helping keep production of planes, tanks and
ornaments at a high level than in shouldering rifles. Further
the debate may stimulate some positive action in clearing up
the manpower muddle, which has been one of the most mis-
managed phases of the war and is certainly open to criticism.

Next Shoe Coupon
Must Last Owner
SiX-m0nth Period

WASHINGTON-It will be six
months instead of four between
new pairs of shoes for civilians in
the future. the office of price adj
ministration, announced tonight.
The cut in civilian shoe rations is
necessary, the agency said, because
of "heavy drains for military pur-
poses, greatly reduced leather sup
plies and manpoWer shortages"
The change means that the new
shoe stamp which becomes valid
Nov. l, will have to last until May l,
unless shoe production should ex-
coed present estimates, OPA ex-
planned.
simultaneously, OPA announced
that shoe stamp Is in ration book 1
will not expire Oct 81 as planned
originally, but will be extended in
definitely, overlapping the new
stamp
Stamp No. / on the "airplane"
sheet in war ration book 3 was spec
flied for use beginning Nov. l.
OPA emphasized that the new or
der should not be interpreted to
mean the civilian ration had been
set at two pairs Of shoes a year,
adding that shoe stamp periods ARE
not set on a yearly quota basis"

More than 100 Glasgow teachers,
Kiwanians and their wives partici-

NO PLOT AGAINST MARSHALL

The United Nations have been extremely fortunate in their
military leadership. 1t is now an open secret that General
George c. Marshall, our very able chief of staff, is to be supreme
commander of the allied fighting forces.
This not only is a personal compliment to him but it also
sets at rest reports that General Marshall was being put on
the shelf, partly at the instigation of the British. The new plan
for a supreme commander was accompanied by a promise that
a mass invasion of Europe from England is coming. This means
the war has reached a decisive stage. 1t also demonstrates the
confidence that President Roosevelt and Prime minister
Churchill have in General Marshall.
The magnitude of this new post is almost terrifying. Mar
shall Foch, in the last war, had no actual command over sea
forces. Neither Grant nor Napoleon commanded such large or
diverse forces" is the way one commentator puts it. Besides
being an able organizer, General Marshall has personal quail
ties of diplomacy and f~riendliness that will be an asset in his
new and higher post.
Summed up, the facts are that General Marshall has been
chosen because of the confidence in highest official places in
America and Britain that he can lead the allied forces to
victory.

Montana Banker
Warns Of Short
Feed Situation

Montana livestock growers should
use every effort to get whatever
grains and concentrate feeds they
car as soon as possible, according
to E. F. Gait, who attended the
meeting of midwest and western
livestock feeders and growers at
Kansas City.
Gait, delegate of the Montana
Livestock and Wool Growers as
ISOLATION, based his warning on
facts surrounding the national feed
and livestock situation brought out
at the meeting and after observing
current trends in Montana.
Gait is wee president of the First
National bank in Great Falls and
has a thorough knowledge of ag-
ricukural conditions in Montana
through a wide acquaintance and
years of observation. He cautioned
Montana growers who wait until
their usual time to lay in supplies
may be caught short this year due
to wartime shipping conditions.

WHAT THEY LIKE TO READ

One of the more pleasant aspects of editing a newspaper IL
wartime is the number of letters received from service mer
scattered to every corner of the world. Every week we receive
ten or fifteen, usually containing changes of addresses, with
the caution to make sure that the home town paper reaches
the writers at their new stations as soon as possible. Generally
they contain bits of news or greetings to the friends left at
home. But almost every one stresses the same point; these
service men are avid to know what is going on at home
Second only to that, they like to read about what is happen
ing to their friends in the service, although they may be separ-
ated by a continent and an ocean or two. We welcome news
of that kind, too. When parents or relatives or friends pass it
along to us, they are not only doing us a favor, but they are
doing a favor for our soldiers, sailors and marines all over
this globe.
