"Well, I want more than just one pair," Daddy Longlegs piped up. "I want four making eight shoes in all. And I flatter myself that my feet are very small." he added. Jimmy Rabbit looked a bit sur prised at that remark. He was not accustomed to seeing eight-legged people In his shop. But he made no comment, though he couldn't help (taring at his new customer.

The old council form of government with elective bureau heads, with many councilmerj giving but little attention to city affairs, without power to name department heads but with misehevious power to butt-in and select subordinates, is an anachronism nowadays, and hits very generally been discarded, in favor of a commission, composed of a few men who devote all thoir time to city affairs, with full authority over all departments, with full responsibility for their con duct.

All of these forms have proven more satisfactory than the council plan. There is no valid reason why Salem should continue the present archaic form of government, and it is hoped that moiiK the achievements of the present administration will be the submission of a new charter, or at least a charter revis ion, that will provide a simplified form of city government with the changes that have made for greater efficiency in ither cities of corresponding size. The task that lies before the incoming administration is the difficult one of holding down expenses and at the same time moving forward aa the growth and expansion of the city requires. By simplyfying the forms of government so as to eliminate waste and secure greater efficiency, these ends will be the easier attained So off they went. And soon they arrived at the shoe shop, in front it which they found Jimmy Rab bit all smiles and bows. "Here's a friend of mine who tno j needs some new shoes," Chirpy Cricket announced. "Come right in!" cried Jimmy Rabbit, "Any friend of Chirpy Cricket's is a friend of mine too. And if I can't fit your feet with I he was not only placing .them in front of Daddy, but on both sides of him and behind him as well.

The rear wheel of the bicycle was mashed in the mix up, he said, but neither of the lads, whose names were not learned, was injured. The bicycle was without a light, Mr. Kleen stated.
