BUBOES* Before you boaet b« «ur» you ke«w That you have got the flab to show. —Old Mother Nature. A Fish Disappears. At the place where the big brook, down which Little Joe Otter and hts family had traveled, enters the Big River the latter never freeiea over. Little Jo* Otter knew this. Tou see he had been there before more than once. He knew that there was good fishing there, and that If no trapper discovered them they would not be disturbed. No men lived near that part of the Big River. There was green forest on both banks. There were snug, dry, hiding places, and Little Joe knew them all. They would stay there until spring and then work down the Big River and so return to Laughing Brook from which they had started. The young Otters liked this place. They soon had a fine slippery slide on which to play when they were not sleeping or fishing. It was fun to ex plore under the lee along the hanks Of the Big River. It was fun to catch a fish and climb out on the Ice to eat It. There was nothing to worry about. There were no enemies about. By day as well ss by night they felt perfectly safe. One day the young Otter, who had lost his toe, caught an extra big fish. It was the biggest fish he had ever caught. He was very proud of It as he climbed out on the ice. Now he had caught that fish mors for the fun of catching it than because he was hungry. The fact is, he wasn't hungry.Fish were plentiful, and he had already eaten about all he could. So he merely took a couple of bites from what he considered was the best part—Just back of the head. Then he saw his sister over on the slippery slide, and went, over to Join her, leaving the big fish on the Ice. He wanted to tell tier about that big fish. He wanted to boast a little. He was sure that It was a bigger fish than she had ever caught. So when he got over to the slippery slid* he at once began to boast. His sister stood It as long as she could. Then she declared that she didn’t believe he had such a wonderful fish. "Come on over and I'll show it to twice as big ss any fish you’ve ever caught." "I don’t believe It,” declared hi* alster. "I'll hav* to see It before I’ll believe It." "All right, com# on!" orled her brother, and down the slippery slide Silver Jubilee Motor Show Most Successful Ever Held, Makers Sav v Trend Toward Coaches, Motion Toward Kight-iii-Linc Mo tor and Improvement in Body Finishes Are Out standing Developments This Year. By HOY C. HAYES, Inkvcritl Service Automobile Editor. New York, Jan. 9.—Motordom’s silver jubilee motor show goes Into history Saturday night with the close of the great exhibition in the 258th field artlllety armory in the Bronx. Basing their opinion on orders placed by dealers for late winter and spring deliveries, motor car makers declare that this year's show was easily the most successful ever held. Projected sales for the year will approach, If not surpass, those of 1924. the second greatest year on record, according to best opinion. The show offered three outstand ing deve!<9|mieiu*—the trend toward coaches, 14 of which were shown: the motion toward the elfht^tadlne motor, 10 representatives of which were displayed, and a vast improve ment in paint jobs and body fin ishes. F’riees are the lowest on record, a tribute to engineering and produc tion methods which have enabled the manufacturer, year by year, to shave something off the cost. he glided into the water. Flat on her stomach behind him went his sister. Together they climbed out on the ice where the big fish had been left. "Here it"-began the young Otter, and stopped abruptly. "Well where is it?" demanded his sister. Tier brother simply stared all about him with such a foolish look on his “Well, where is it?” demanded Ills sister. face. There was no fish there! What could mave become of it? He knew that he had killed It and so it couldn't possibly have flopped back into the water. He ran all around with his nose on the tee, but there was no jscent of Reddy Fox or of any one else. "X don’t believe you caught a big fish,” declared his sister. "You must have dreamed It. If you caught It where Is It?” The next story: "The Using Heap of Snow.” Bishop Shavler to Hold Mission at Falls City Falls CltSr, Jan. 9.—Rt. Rev. E. V.

Coolidge Takes Stand Against Gun Elevation President Fears Such Move Would Be Opening Wedge to Overturn All Anns Limitation. Iljr Inlirrwl siertlee. ■Washington. IJ. C.. Jan. 9.—Presi dent Coulidge finally and Oat-footedly made known today tliat under no cir cumstances would he agree to eleva tlon of the turret guns of America's battleships. ' W ould Veto Measure. His immovable opposition to eleva tlon. it was officially stated at the While House, is based upon the fear that such a move would lie the en tering wedge of a lever which would finally overturn the whole Idea of arms limitation. The emphatic nature of the Willie House declarations leaves virtually no doubt that even should congress, now or later, heed the picas of navy offi oers and experts for the sorely needed gun elevation and appropriate the sums needed, the president would veto any measure containing them. Plans Abandoned. Word of the president s decision coming to members of the house com mittee on naval affairs caused the precipitate abandonment of all plans for putting the sea forces of the Fnited States on a true parity with those of Knglnnd. The battle fleet will remain outranged and outspeeded. Representative Britten of Illinois, house leader in the fight for modern ization of the navy reluctantly an nounced* he would not press his de mands for new legislation at the pres ent time. He promised, however, that he would do everything in his power during the next session of congress to bring about an elevation. Columbus Park Board Appointed by Mayor Columbus, Jan. 9.—I.. F.
