Uncle Wiggily cold hole saves seashore friends
A playful Uncle Wiggily tale describes digging a cold hole near his seaside shack to beat the heat with ice from the North Pole. Fox and Bob Cat trap themselves chasing Mr Longears and are imprisoned then thawed in the hole by bears. An official notice from Linn County Iowa follows in the same column.
