UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE LITTLE POND
UNCLE WIGGILY LONGEAItS, the bunny
rabbit gentleman, was hopping sloug
through Woodland near the Oraugo Ice Mouu
tains, not far from Asbury Grow, whore li«'
had built his hollow stump bungalow. Mr.
Longear* was looking first on oue side of the
path and then on the other with his pink,
twinkling nose.
I mean Uncle Wiggily had his pink nose
with Mm; I don't mean lie was looking with it.
Gracious, no! 1I« locked with his eyes.
"Hello, Uncle Wiggily! Are you looking for
an udventure7" asked Johnny Bushytail, the
squirrel boy, as he scampered up u hickory
tree to see if auy nuts were growing yet. But
it was too early,
"No, I'm not exactly looking for an ad-
venture," spoke the bunny gentleman. "I
want to find Huhy Bunty, the little rabbit girl
who used to live in » hollow stump.
"Do you want her to chase you and play
tag'."' nsked Johnnie.
"Indeed, I do not!'* cried Uncle Wiggily.
"Baby Bunty is too lively for me! She says shs
makes me chase her so 1 won't get old ami
stiff. But it's fun to be sort of restful like,
once in a while. Now, I'm looking for Baby
Bunty becuuse Nurse June wants her to come
home and huv# her paws and face washed
for supper. Have you seen her?"
"Do you mean Nurse Jane or Baby Bunty?"
asked the squirrel boy, sort of joking like
and comical.
"Baby Bunty, of course!" answered Uncle
Wiggily. 4*I know where Nurs* Jane is. She's
baking a strawberry lungcaks in my hollow
stump bungalow. But if you haveu't sceu
Baby Uunty 1 must hop alonf and look in
other places."
So, Uncle Wiggily hopped along, end pretty
soon he came to the shore of a large pond.
On one bank of the pond were growing a num-
ber of tall plants, with thick, green leaves.
"Hal Those are nice plants," said Uncle
Wiggily. "Perhaps they may have seen Baby
Bunty pass this way."
So. understanding the language of flowers,
which in about the same as that which is
talked by the leaves and vines. Uncle Wiggily
asked the green plants if they had seen the
litt'.« rabbit girl.
"No." auswered one large plant, "we haven't
seen Baby Bunty. We have been so busy
trying to shake off a lot of bad red biting
bugs on our stalk# and leaves that we haven't
had a chance to look for anyone. We wish
we could drive the bugs away."
"I can do that," kindly offered Uncle Wig-
gily. "I will drive away thi red bugs that are
biting your thick, green, glossy leaves. I'll
knock them off with my red, white and blue
striped rheumatism crutch."
"Please do!" begged the plante growing on
the edge of the big pond.
.So I nole Wiggily drove away the biting bug*,
by tapping on the green, thick-leaved plants
with his crutch, and the plants thanked the
rabbit gentleman very much.
"If we can ever do you or any of your
friends a favor we shall be glad to," thej
said.
l ucle Wiggily hardly thought « plant could
ever do you a favor, but Just you wait and
se»v On und on through the woods hopped the
rabbit gentleman, until pretty soon he came to
a cute little shady dingly dell, and there was
Haby Uunty lying on the grans fast asleep. In
one paw waa her wooden doll—Harsh Jane Bas-
safrnss Kin-pudding.
"on. Bunty! Wake up!" cried Uncle WlffllT-
"Nurse Jane want* you to come hornet It's
nearly aupper time!"
Baby Bunty awakened with a start, wbbed

SOCIAL NOTES
MRS. COUCH ENTERTAINED
Mrs. John L. Matthews of Eagle Pass
was hostess Monday afternoon to a group
i of the younger matrons in honor of Mrs.
Quest C. Couch at the matinee perform-
ance at the Majestic Theater, followed by
tea at the Japanese Tea Boom.
The personnel included the honoree, Mrs.
Couch. Mrs. Randolph Carter. Mrs. Gunter
Hardie, Mrs. Charles Tips, Mrs. Herbert
Slayden Clarkson, Mrs. Reagan Houston,
Miss Josephlua Klncald and Mrs. J. II.
McGehee.
"No," answered the large plant, "we
haven't seen Baby J*unty."
"Why, once on the other side, we would be
safe from tho Skuddlemagoon," answered Uncle
Wiggily. "The policeman dog lives on the other
side of this pond. But. us it is now, It ia too
big for us to Jump across, and if we have
to run all the way around it the bad chap mar
cntch us." . ^
And then, Just as I'm telling yon. all ef a
suddea the big pond began to shrink up. It
shut Its banks together and became ao little
that Uncle Wiggily and Baby Bunty eeuld
easily Jump across without getting wet.
All the way across the pond they Jumped,
and when they were safe on the other elde,
the little pond suddenly stretched into a big
one again and it was ao large ThatT the Bkuddle-
magoou couldn't Jump over.
• Oh, we're safe. Uncle WlggOyf" cried Bunty.
"We're safe! But what made the Wg pend get
little and then big again?"
"I don't know," answered Mr. Loagears.
"Wp tnade the big pond g«t little for you."
raid the green stalks and leaves on the bank.
"We shrank and also stretched the pond fjr
yon. We are rubber plants, you know, and
rubber can stretch and shrink."
That's Just how it happened. Weren't those
stretchy rubber plants good to Bsby Bunty
snd Mr. Longears? And if the bluebell flower
doesn't ring so late in the morning that the
nIhrnt clock gets late for school, and egn't
have anv sawdust candy for recess, I'll tell you
next about Uncle Wiggily and the funny stump.
An Unusual Offer
Announcement is made by W. K. Kel-
iorc, tlie veteran manufacturer of food
products, that anyone who t» not thorough-
ly untlsfled that Ills new food, Kellogg'a
Roasted Korn Krlap, 1« a delielou, dleh
for breakfast or dessert will be refunded
the purchase price of the package.
Mr. Kellogg's offer, an unusual one, Is
made, he says, because he Is absolutely
confident that no finer food than Kel-
lniTK's Korn Krlsp can be made, both be-
cause of Its nutrltt™ quality and its de-
lirious flavor. He ia aure that it will reach
the consumer's table with the same crlsp-
ii,'as With which it left the ovens, because
lie pucks It in a "wax-tite" package which
keeps out all moisture.
The announcement of the new food callg
attention to the fact that the package is
adorned with the picture of a "roastln'
ear" of corn, symbolizing the rich, sweet
flavor of the Korn Krispa themselves.

WOMEN ARE CARELESS
This has been proved over and ovef
again during the war. They over-estimate
their physical strength and overtax It.
Their ambition Is commenable, but does
compensate for the hours and days of mis-
ery which they suffer from symptoms
caused by female ills brought on by over-
work. Women who are weak, nervous,
despondent, with headaches, backache and
dragging-down pains should remember
there Is one tried and true remedy, that
Is Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable Corn-
pound, now recognised everywhere as the
standard remedy for such ailments.
Alkali in Shampoos
Bad for Washing Hair
Most soaps and prepared shampoos con
tain too much alkili, which Is very in
jurious, as It dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing to use Is Mulslfled ce
coanut oil shampoo, tor this la pure *n«i
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap and
beata anything elae all to pieces. You
can get this at any drug atore, and a few
ounce* will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with water and
rub It In, about a teaspoonful Is all that
is required. It makes an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly,
and rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and is soft, frosh look-
ing, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to ban
die. Itesldes, it loosens and take? out
every particle of dust, dirt and uandruff.
