FOR MORE FARM @PoNDs."

With the finest kind Of growing
weather for corn, ka,ir corn and other
fall crop, a big wheat and oats crop
harvested and the fan plowing well
under way in the wheat belt, there is
likely to come to the farmers Of the
southwest a few weeks Of comparative
idleness sometime in the early fall

crop Of every sort Of farm product in
most sections this time viii be one
which many farmers win believe they
can afford to use for a short vacation,
but there win be many more who will
simply spend the period Of idleness
"tinkering round the farm.
To those who plan to virtually idle
away this time or respite from work
there is one suggestion government
students Of conditions in the great
southwest would make, and which we
would like to heartily second. That
Is, take a few days and build an arti
ficial pond or lake somewhere on the
farm.
There Is scarcely a farm in the
whole southwest where few days
work would not put up a dam suffic
lent to hold from half an acre to sey
eral acres Of water. Constructed on
plans which the government bureaus
viii only too gladly furnish a dirt dam

structiou, will last indefinitely and be
entirely satisfactory

REDDY FOX GETS VERY BOLD.

By Thornton W. Burgess.
written for the Associated Newspa-
pers.)
Reddy Fox was growing bold. Every.
body said SO, and what everybody says
must be So Reddy Fox had always
been very sly and aot bold at all. The
truth is, Reddy Fox had so many times
fooled Bowser the Hound and Farmer
Browns boy that he had begun to
think himself very smart indeed. He
had really fooled himself. Yes, sir
Reddy Fox had fooled himself He
thought himself so smart that nobody
could fool him.
Now it is a bad habit, q very pad
habit, to think too much Of onself. It
is one Of the worst habits in the world.
And Reddy Fox had The habit. Oh,
my, yes. Reddy Fox certainly did
have the habit When anyone men.
toned Bowser the Hound Reddy would
turn up his nose and say:
Pooh! It's the easiest thing in the
world to fool him"
Whenever Reddy saw Farmer
Browns boy he would say with the
greatest scorn
Who's afraid of him? Not Il"
So, as Reddy Fox thought more snd
more Of his own smartness he grew
bolder and holder. Almost every night
he visited Farmer Browns henyard.
Farmer Brown set traps all around the
yard. but Reddy always found them
and kept out Of them. It got so that
Une Billy Possum and Jimmy Skunk
didn't dare to go TO the henhouse for
/ eggs any more for fear that they would
get into one of the traps set for Reddy
Fox. OF course. they missed those
| fresh eggs and, of course, they blamed
Reddy Fox
"Never mind said Jimmy Skunk,
scowlng down on the green meadows
where Reddy Fox was taking a sun
bath, Farmer Browns hoy will get
him yeti I hope he doesi"
Jimmy said this a little spitefully
and just as if he really meant t.
Now, when people think that they
are very, very smart they like to show
off. You know it isn't any fun at all
to feel smart unless others can see
how smart you are. So Reddy Fox,
+ just to show off. grew very bold, very
bold indeed. He actually went up to
Farmer Browns henyard in broad day
light, and. almost under the nose Of
Bowser the Hound. he caught the pei
