 The bear stationed himself underneath the tree and glared savagely up at the two. For a long time the boy sat astride a limb, with Jocko perched upon his shoulder. Then an idea came to him. And a bright idea 1t proved to be!
 Giuseppe began playing his accordion; at first softly, and then swelling out into a burst of melody. Immediately the bear became ali attention.

 Little Girl spent over a year trying to induce Father to bring home toy money. Nor could she understand for a long. long while that no toy money was ever made. In the meantime. all the people of Doilville. having had one look at the department store. gave 1t no further consideration. since they were unable to purchase any of the nice things displayed. So there 1t stood deserted. save for two footmen. who guarded the moving stairway and pre- vented the troublesome Teddy Bears from sliding down.

the work of exterination of the brown
tail moth which is being carried on in
the State is the distribution of dis
eased caterpillars in such sections of
the state as are infested by the moth
The disease is fungus growth which
is fatal to the moths and the expert
ment was tried on a small scale last
year and found to be successful This
year Prof. +. r. HitchingS, the State
entomologiSt, has gone into the work
on a larger scale and has recently put
out 10000 of these diseased caterpil-
lars in kittery, Eliot, York and Port
land. and from Brunswick to Rock
land, and good results are anticipated.
The work of distributing the diseased
catcrriliars is carried on chiefly in the
woodland sections of the infested dis
tricts. Prof. Hitchings states that
the towns have been doing good work
in DISCRIMINATING the moths and that
in some places where the nests were
plenty last year not one has thus far
been found.
