EEPY -TIME TALES F | ENTURER TOMMY FOX DIGS A HOLE FOR WNCLE JERRY CHUCK. It was fall; and Uncle Jerry Chuck wanted a new home for the coming winter. His old one was was not warm enough to sult him. Uncle Jerry Chuck had allithe tools that he needed for digging himself another—and better—~house In the pasture. He had some good, sharp claws and some good, strong paws, But Uncle Jerry never liked to use these tools. To tell the truth, he was lszy. He intended to have a new home. But he meant to get some- body else to do the work. This was why he hung a sign out- side his, door—a sign which said, A STRONG PERSON WANTED FOR DEEP DIGGING. Uncle Jerry Chuck then sat down outside his doorway to wait for call- ers. The first one to see his sign and ask for work was Master Meadow Mouse. But Uncle Jerry Chuck laughed at him, “Go home and grow!” Uncle Jerry told him. *“You're too little for my work.” Then Sandy Chipmunk stopped and teld Uncle Jerry he was all ready to begin. ¥ “To begin what?" asked him with a sneer. “Digging!"” said Sandy Chipmunk, “Very well!"” Uncle Jerry Chuck re- plied. “But kindly don’t dig around here. I don’t want a lot of little scratches all over my dooryard."” Somehow the news spread fast through the flelds—the news that Tnele Jerry Chuck wanted a digger, and that he was hard to suit. A good many of the fleld-and-forest folk came to call on Uncle Jerry. But not Uncle Jerry ‘My! Mgl" she exclaimed.”] smell a Fox!” ‘one of them would he hire. He toid them all that he wanted a strong dig- ger or none at all. At last a stranger came trotting up to Uncle Jerry's house. He was heav- {ly wrapped in winter clothing, being go bundled up that Uncle Jerry couldn't see much of him except his eyes and his feet, He was a big fellow. stared at his paws and claws. were certainly the kind for digging. “Do you want work?” Uncle Jerry asked him. “Yes!"” replied the stranger. “Then you've come to the right place. You may begin to dig me a house over there under that pile of stones.” Uncle Jerry Chuck said nothing at all about pay. The,stranger did not séem to notice that. And Uncle Jer- ry chuckled to himself as the dirt be- gan to fly. “This fellow is a simpleton,” thought. Now, Uncle Jerry Chuck was the simpleton. Little did he dream that the person who was digging his houre was Tommy Fox himself. He had sald nothing about pay because he meant to take his pay when he was ready for it, and in the way that suit- ed him best. While he worked, Uncle Jerry hov- ered about and gave ovders almost) constantly. Some people wouldn't | like to work for anybody as fussy as Uncle Jerry Chuck was. But this worker didn't seem to mind. No mat- ter what fault Uncle Jerry found with his digging, he smiled and said Uncle Jerry They deep he We have been fortunate in obtaining Gabriel Snubber sales and service for New Britain and vicinity. . Users and prospective users, let’s get acquainted. nothing——and never stopped digging, “This fellow Is a good worker," | Unele Jerry thought, I wish T had found him before, I like silent work- ers 'They always work fast.” And then he began to find some fault with the way the stranger was digging his louse. That was Uncle Jerry's way, He was never known to praise any- body but himself, At last the stranger stopped work- Ing and backed out of the hole that he had made, ‘And now he spoke. “Just step inslde, Mr, Chuek,” he Invited Uncle Jerry. “I want this house to sult you, Take a good look at it." Uncle Jerry Chuck was just about to jump down into the hole, when he happened to ' see the stranger's tongue. It was a long, red tongue. And it hung out of the fellow's mouth in such a way that it made a shiver creep up and down Uncle Jerry's back., Tt was a warm day, too, al- though it was fall. "Keep digging!" Uncle Jerry order- ed, changing his mind suddenly— about entering the hole. “Go deep- er!” The stranger gave him a sly look. But Uncle Jerry pulled a bit of clover and ate it as if he hadn’t a care in the world, “He doesn't know me,” thought Tommy ¥ox, “He's a simpleton.” And he set to work once more. But now {t was Tommy Fox who was the simpleton. For Uncle Jerry waited until Tommy had plunged back into the hole, Then he crept up and looked closely at the tip of Tom- my's tail. It was white. And that was enough for Uncle Jerry Chuck. He whisked about and ran across the pasture, — He ran very fast, for anybody who was as old and fat as he was. And whep he’ reached the underground chamber where he had spent the summer he flung himself down and niopped his face. "My goodness!” he exclaimed, “This house is hot. I don't need a warmer one. I shall stay right here this winter.” (Copyright 1922+ by Metropolitan Newspaper Service.)

T, Gaffney, the Americanization classes were done away with and in their place were established Evening Con- tinuation school classes. This action was prompted by similar movements in other cities where objection has arisen to the term Americanization. The same teachers will be employed and the same program followed out, the only change being in name, Married Teachers Numerous, Chairman Gaffney asked that the board take notice of the increasing number of married teachers in the schools, with a view to possible ac- tion in the future. He pointed out that under the lower wage scale, few teachers remained on the job after being wedded, but of late such cases are numerous, | Reporting for the special commit- |tee investigating the absence of | teachers from school, Mrs. Laura D, | Mangan stated that the publicity giv- |en the matter will probably correct the few cases of unwarranted ab- sence. Upon her recommendation, the report was tabled until the next teachers' attendance record is sub- mutted. Judge Gaffney told the committee | that the school children have planned three floats for the Armistice Day pa- | rade.

Even the government itself is de- clared in some quarters to be largely in the dark owing to the difficulty of communicating with the Near East as a result of the cutting of the cable line near Chanak by the Turks. Even this fact is regarded as onimous. No News Today Absolutely nothing can be learned regarding the present attitude of the Angora government and it is equally unknown whether the allied commis- sloners have carried out their threat to establish martial law in Constan- tinople. The departure for Lausanne of the Turkish nationalist foreign minister, Ismet Pasha has attracted a great deal of attention here and in some quarters, his unexpected start of the journey without awaiting Angora's re- ply to the latest allied note is regarded with suspicion. The diplomatic expert of the Daily Telegraph presumes that “Ismet will endeavor to emulate at Adrianople Rafet's tactics at Constantinople, but it will be interesting to see whether he will endeavor to confer with the Bulgarian government on the way to Lausanne." Delay Cauces Anxiety Delay in settling the troubles in the Near Fast and in definitely fixing a date for the Lausanne discussions has caused serious anxlety here. Some quarters have an uneasy feeling re- garding the Franco-British relations. The Times says these relations are be- ing severely tested. Editorfally makes a very emphatic appeal Premier Poincare to make France's[her. § x position clear, declaring that condi- tions do not yet exist which would justify British representatives in at- tending the Lausanne conference. “The British government %nows that the Near Eastern position to- day is as perilous as War,” the Times declares. ‘Even in the terms af the Mudania armistice which brought the conflict between the entente and Tur- key to an end, it is not known whether PAIGE Ghe Most Beautsful Car in/lmerica it| France is prepared to h for | Britain and in case of need aet with stand withy French failure to stand by England at Canstantinople might bé & signal for a disaster of immeasure- able dimensions.” \ Colby college football players {in- sisting on personal rights refused to take pledge that would aveid liquer . on trip to New York and Ferdham game wus almost cancelled.
