Long time ago, when the spry little
chipmunk darted across the camp
ground in the yellow sunlight Of a
summer morning, the old men would
call to the little Indian boys not to
shoot their arrows at 1t.
'Ho! he is our friend" an old man
would say, and when the boys asked
why the chipmunk was their friend,
the old man would tell this story:
1t was in the days when man began
to spread out over the earth and make
himself the ruler Of all the birds and
animals and insects. Whenever man
wanted a bird or ar animal to eat or
a worm to catch a fish, he Just went
and took it without asking.
So the birds, the insects and the
small animals called q council to see
what they could do to stop man from
taking their lives. 1t was a carrier
pigeon that took word to all that the
council was to be held, and when she
got back from her long travels, the
carrier pigeon settled down In a patch
of wild oats and began to eat. She
vas so hungry that all she would say
to those who asked her II all of mans
enemies were coming was
you will have to get extra seats,
and put the acknowledged centipede
at the door to count them as they 60
into the council housed"
And sur enough when the grub
worm, who was chief of the council,
took his seat at the east end Of the
council house and looked over all who
had come, he rubbed his hands In good
humor at the sight Of so many Of mans
enemies.
Now, It Is time for you to speak
and tell what you think about man.

got up and spoke.
Look at me. brothers" he said (and

There is a target consisting of nine
pins. arranged upon the ground in

tries to toss the rings over the target

will see by Fig. 1, and these numbers
are used in determining the scores.
The pin In the exact center counts %
points. the four corner pins count Is
points apiece. and the remaining pins
10 points apiece.

TRAIN BOYS TO RAISE HOGS
Department Of Agriculture Gives In
structions for Pig club-some Of
Important Points.

In this time of the shortage of beef
raise more hogs.
That's Uncle Sans advice, given
through his department of agriculture,
says the Kansas City Star. To be sure
the farmers won't forget 1t, he would
train them as boys and boys pig clubs
are his ean Of education.
Any boy who has a pig can be a
member. Uncle Sam has prepared a
bulletin which tells him how to feed
and ARE for his stock.
Some of the points to bear In mind
are the following:
THE feeding and care are as impor-
tant as the breeding In producing a
good hog. Plenty Of feed and care
may make a good hog out Of a runt.
but lack Of It will always make a runt
out of a good pig.
ITO make pork cheaply a permanent
pasture and forage crops must be
used.
Young pigs must have a dry bed
and plenty OF sunshine.
Begin feeding the pig as soon as he
will eat, and keep him growing until
he il mature.
Always keep plenty of clean fresh
water where the hogs may drink at
any time.
Quarantine all newly purchased
animals for three weeks.
Never keep a brood SOW that will
not produce more than four strong
| pigs at a litter.
Always keep a mixture Of charcoal.

copperas before the hogs"

Children, Color Up This Picture.

my throat is twisted so that my song
is no longer sweet and clear. Man
has kicked me about so much that I
am as you see me. l think that 1t Is
time to remove man from the EARTH"
Then the black-legged snipe spoke
and told everyone why he wanted man
killed.
Il suffer worse than the frog" said
the snipe. Man seizes me and runs a
sharp stick through me and holds me
over the fire until my very legs are
burned black and crisp. You all know
how hard 1t Is for me to walk, how I
have to go lettering along even on the
smoothest sand. Well, II man had
burned your legs and feet az he has
burned mine, you would know why I
vote to have man removed from this
earth"
So, one after another spoke and said
that they thought man ought to be
killed, and after each one spoke the
grubworm cried out:
That was a good talk, %brother!"
Finally, the little chipmunk got up
and said that he would like to say a
few words about man; and the grub
worm told him to 90 ahead.
Il am the friend Of man. said the
chipmunk first, and at that the ami
mails and birds and insects cried out:
I'VE won't have him here--put the
/ chipmunk out!"
Man likes me-" said the chipmunk,
because I am yellow like the sunlight
and go flashing across the camp like
a happy boys arrow. I do not want to
be-"
But the chipmunk did not finish the
sentence, for the animals and birds
and insects all rushed at him to drive
him out of the council. The first one
to reach him was the hawk, and as
the hawk swooped toward him, the
chipmunk headed for the door.
But the hawks sharp claws raked
the back of the chipmunk as he a
and made stripes along his whole
length-and those stripes are there to
this day to show what the chipmunk
suffered for speaking up for man.

was a plank a foot wide running across
1t for the convenience OF the work.
9 One night an old, blind horse
belonging to a farmer living at n
end OF the bridge got loose and crossed
the bridge, a distance of 200 feet, by
that narrow footway.
Next morning. when It was discov.
cred that the horse was on the other
side OF the river, his owner went after
him, but the animal would not make
the trip back, and had to be taken to a
ford eight miles away. No man work
ing on the bridge would have dared
try to walk 20 feet with his eyes shut,
and everybody is patting the old horse
on the back and telling him he's all
right.
