Sixth.-The Standard Oil company.
The renewed action contemplated
against this company would be based
on the charge that it has not complied
with the United States supreme courts
order directing it to dissolve into its
constituent companies. The DEGREES in
this case have all been handed down
and the lower federal court has ap-
proved the dissolution plan presented
by the company. The contempt, which
may be charged, would lie in the al
legged failure by the company officers
to obey strictly the dissolution plan
agreed on

Once upon time there was g.
thrifty gray squirrel. All the bright
autumn days he went whisk, whisk,
through the woods. gathering nuts for
his winters food and hiding them
away in his pantries.
We have but one pantry at our
house in which to store good things
for winter. but the gray squirrel had
more pantries than he could count;
and, whenever he needed a new one,
he made 1t for himself. His pantries
were holes in the ground. and. as
soon as he had filled them with nuts.
he covered them up SO we'll that no.

There were acorns In some of them
and chestnuts in others. and one day
he brought q fine large hickory nut
from a far-off tree and hid 1t on the
top of the hill where he lived. 1t
was the last nut that he stored away.
