Wets in Favor % of Hitehoeck for President National Liberty League Seeks Candidacy of Former Sen* ator on Platform to Repeal Dry Law. „ The National Liberty league, which is working for the repeal of the pro hibition law, is for Gilbert M. Hitch cock of Omaha for president. Don E. DoBow of Omaha, secretary-treasurer of the organization, has sent the fol lowing communication to Mr. Hitch cock : “As there seems to he a free-for all presidential race now on, we be lieve that you have as good a chance to be elected to this high office as anyone who has announced his candi dacy so far. "Do you believe now as you did when you said in your speech in the senate, 'there should and ought to be ft way found to have legalized beer and wine,’ also in Paris, that 'the Volstead law will probably he re pealed or modified?’ "As President Harding stated in his message to congress, December 8, ‘most of our people assumed the adoption of the 18th amendment meant the elimination of the question (prohibition) from our politics. On the contrary it has been so intensified as an Issue that many voters are dis posed to make all political decisions with reference to this single ques tion.' "The National Liberty league be lieves that the people demand the most formidable candidates for this and other offices in the coming elec tion, as the league is very much en couraged by the generous contribu ions from all sections of the country ind the rapid growth in membership »nd growing sentiment in support of the principles of the league. If you believe now as you did then, we hope that you consider making the race on the above principles. If you do, you may be assured of our heartiest sup port and endorsement.” : Omahan Heads * U. S.

For sefveral days after that shiny band was put on his leg Brownie the Trasher kept away from that wire trap in the Old Orchard. But at last he ventured up there. As before, a lot of dainties were spread inside. He looked at them with longing eyes. His common sense told him to keep out. But the temptation was too great. Brownie ventured in and soon was filling his stomach. Then the same thing happened that had hap pened before—down came that trap and he was a prisoner. But this time he was no more than startled. .Farmer Brown's Boy promptly entered the little cage at one side. Then Farmer Brown's Boy took him out. gently stroked him a “There’s nothing to oe a Irani of,” said he to Kitty. few times and set him free. Noth ing more was done to him. No band was put on his other leg. He was Just simply allowed to go. After that Brownie had no fear of that trap. He found it was the same way with Chippy the Chipping Spar row. He happened to be around when the latter was caught for the third time. Chippy didn't seem to mind It at all. No sooner was the trap reset than Brownie walked Into It. This time it didn't drop. He ate his till and walked out again. The next day he was back there. Presently lie was joined by Kitty the Catbird. It was the first time that Kitty had been in there. Down came the trap and both were caught. Kitty the Catbird was frightened almost to death. Brownie knew Just how Kitty felt. Brownie calmly kept on eating. He wasn't excited at all. “There’s nothing to be afraid of,'' said he to Kitty when the latter had become a little bit quiet. “No harm is going to come to you. Farmer Brown's Boy is going to set you free. Here he comes now.” At once Kitty the Catbird became quite frantic with fear. "You follow me," said Brownie, “and I promise you no harm will come to you." At first Kitty the Catbird was too frightened to do anything but try to find a way out. But presently, when lie saw hat Brownie was not at all frightened and seemed to take things as a matter of codrse, he became more quiet. "Now follow me," repeat ed Brownie the Thrasher. Brownie led the way through the lit tle opening Into the little cage ad joining the trap and Kitty the Cat bird followed. Then the little door fell behind them and once more “Kitty was dreadfully frightened. "There’s nothing to be afraid of,” Brownie kept saying over and over. "There's nothing to be afraid of. Just lie quiet in the hands of Farmer Brown's Boy when he takes you out." So Kitty, seeing that Brownie real ly was not at all afraid, wisely did as he was told. Farmer Brown's Boy lifted him out very gently, snd with equal gentleness stroked him. Then he fastened one of those shiny bunds on one of Kitty's legs, stroked him again two or three times and opened his hand. Kitty was free. Then Farmer Brown’s Boy took Brownie out and set him free. “You are getting toy be a regular hufsauce, you brown beauty,” said Farmer Brown’s Boy. “I’ve got you banded, and I don’t want you in my trap any more. However. I suppose you’ll come, Just the same." He was right. Every few days Brownie was caught in that trap. He seemed to enjoy it. But always when he was caught some other bird was also caught, some bird that was not wearing one of those little bands.
