not to reduce the railroad fare from

sites are called "cbintzes" or
"chinches." In Baltimore one hears
them called mahogany flaes,' and
in New York they are STYLED red

to the bug by the Romans, who
were well acquainted with it;
"lectus' refers to its habits, being a
derivative of "lectus" meaning bed"
or couch" " Down this way we cling
to the vernacular, "bedbug," but by

they are doing. Sammy is forever
peeking and prying into the affairs OF
his neiehbors, and this is one reason
they do not like him. 1t was the day
after Buster Bear had given the hunter
in the Green Forest such a fright that
Sammy discovered Farmer Browns
Boy hard at work making something.
With hammer and nails and saw ana
plane he was very, very busy, and be-
cause every once in u while he would
look over to the Green Forest or down
on the Green Meadows and smile,
Sammy at once made up his mind that
all this work was for no good pur-
pose.
Hes making a new kind of a trap.
that's what he's doing" said sammy
to himself, and without waiting TO ma
out IL he was right he hurried away TO
spread the news.
Are you sure it's traps aohe"
Happy Jack Squirrel.
"Of course I'm sure. What else would
IL be?" retorted Sammy Jay, indig-
nantly.
:" don't know and care less as long
as it isn't me-" replied Sammy PROB
ably it's you"
afraid somebody is going to be disap-
pointed" said he. What does the
thing look like?''
Sammy had to admit that when he
left it didn't look like anything in par
ticular.
at wasn't far enough along for me to
see what it will look like, but I'm sure
it is a trap" said he. what else could
it be if 1t isn't a trap?
This was something that Happy Jack
couldn't answer, and Sammy flew OFF
in triumph. And all the rest of that
day, when any one doubted his story.
he replied just as he had to Happy
Jack, and as nobody could answer an!
better than Happy Jack could no one
said a word. Twice during the MORN
ing Sammy few up to the maple tree
i'm Farmer Browns door yard and with
sharp eyes peered down at FARMER

ever. Now and then he would look
over to the Green Forest and smile.

Cactus as a Crop.

many of the arid portions of the south
west at one time supported two or three
times as great a population as they 40
at present, despite all of the modern im-
provements in methods of cultivation
and reclamation. The Smithsonian In
stitution has recently conducted a study
Of aboriginal economics, with speciai
reference to the food supplies OF Ameri-
can indians before the advent or the
white man. The scientists have dis
covered that some Of the southwestern
tribes lived on the fruit of various
cactl for at least two months of the
wear. They state that. II properly culti-
yated. some species of cacu could be-
come an invaluable resource. both for
human food and for forage. They have
pro. ed that there was spineless cactus
long before Luther Burbank was born.
but that it was exterminated because OF
its value for food
The cactus is essentially a desert
plant. living where the rainfall could
not possibly support any other crop.
It derives most of it's vital energy from
the sunlight. Its roots are an extensive
network, spreading out just below the
SURFACE of the soil. and gathering
water, which is stored in the body of the
plant. This is of a coarse cellular COM
position, covered with a thick. tough
skin, so that very little moisture is lost

Sammy Jay is very much inclined not

You will always find that people who
do mean things themselves always sus-
pect that everybody else is just watch

pleasure in suspecting his neighbors.
Worse still. Sammy doesn't walt to find
out If his suspicious are likely to come
true.
Take the case Of Farmer Browns
Boy. Sammy was a long time in learn
ing to believe anything good of Far
mer Browns Boy. Perhaps he was not
wholly to blame for that. You see.
Farmer Browns Boy did make a great
deal of trouble for the little people of
the Green Meadows and the little folks
of the Green Forest for a long time He
hunted them with his terrible gun and
he sets traps for them. That was be-
fore he learned to know them and to
loNc tHeIH. w Hen ne nave q Cndn&o
Of heart Sammy wouldn't believe ii. No,
sir. Sammy wouldn't believe 1t at all at
first. 1t wasn't until he saw with his
own eyes Farmer Browns Boy take up
the traps he had set for Old Man
Coyote that he would admit that there
was any good in Farmer Browns Boy.
and even then he still doubted.
Every day Sammy visited Farmer
Browns door yard to see what was
going on there, for Sammy is a born
spy. You know. spy is one who
watches other people to find out what
