about 1880 o'clock. Mr.. and Mrs.

Mrs. CLANCY finally inquired at a
farmhouse nca Wild Rice. The far

in the evening cutting across his fields
working at a neighboring farm. The
searching party tramped across the
field to the camp of the t%hreshing
gang but when they had aroused the
laborers they found that the two boys

Boys Return.
They were just starting out again
at Z o'clock. in the morning when a
man drove up in an auto with the
two boys. When the boys were ques-
toned by heir parents concerning
where they had been all night, they
said that they were playing by the
side of the road near the CLANCY
residence when a man came along
and asked them to walk a little way
with him. They said they would walk
q few blocks. After they had o so

saw an automobile coming down the
road with several men in it. He evil

and took to his heels. The boys then
went to a farmhouse and told the
farmer their story. After giving them
some breakfast, he returned them to
their parents.
The stories told by the two boys are
identical and it seems to be a very
crude attempt at Kidnapping or the
act of a demented person.
The boys described the man as
dressed in overalls and a checked
shirt. He also had a black mustache
and, according to the boys, drank
quite often from a flash of dark

REDDY FOX SPENDS A BAD

1t almost always happens when a.
boaster blows his horn
He wishes that he hadn't e'er the
coming of the morn.
Reddy Fox wished sc with all his
might. He wished that he had kept
his tongue still about not being afraid
to meet the strange creature that had
given Peter Rabbit such a fright.
When he had boasted that he
wouldn't be afraid Of it, but that If
he should meet it he would stop to
find all about it,, he didn't have the
least intention Of dong anything of
the kind. He was just idly boasting

heart.
Unc' Billy Postum knew this, and
so he dared Reddy to go the next
morning to the foot of the hill where
Prickly Perky the Porcupine lives.
and where Peter Rabbit had had his
strange adventure, and where Unc'
Billy himself claimed to have seen the
same strange creature without head.
tail. or legs which had so frightened
Peter. Unc' Billy had said that he
would be there himself up in a tree.
where he could see whether Reddy re-
ally did come or not. and SO there
was nothing for Reddy to do but to
60 and make good his foolish boast
if the strange creature should appear.
You see a number of little people had
heard him boast, and had heard Unc'
Billy dare him. and he knew that if
he didn't make good ne would never
hear the end Of it. and would be call
ed a coward by everybody.
Reddy didn't sleep at all we'll that
afternoon, and when at dusk he start
ed to hun for his supper he found
that he had lost his appetite. Instead
of hunting he spent most Of the night
in trying to think of some good ex-
cuse for not appearing at Prickly
Porky's hill lat daybreak. But think
as he would he couldn't think Of a
single excuse thai would sound rea-
sonable.
If only Bowser the Hound wasn't
chained up at night 1 would get him
to chase me, and then I would have
the very best kind of an excuse"
thought he. But he knew that Bow
ser was chained. Nevertheless he did
go UP to Farmer Browns dooryard to
make sure. 1t wal just as he expect
ed-Bowser was chained.
Reddy sneaked away without even
a look at Farmer Browns henhouse,
didn't see that the loo had careless
ly been left open, and even if he
had it would have made no differ
ence. He hadn't a bit Of appetite.
No, sir, Reddy Fox wouldn't have
eaten the latest chicken there if it
had bee nright before him. All he
could think of was that queer story
told by Peter Rabbit and Unc' Billy
Possum and the scrape ne had got
himself into by his foolish boasting.
He Just wandered about restlessly
waiting for daybreak and hoping that
something would turn UP to prevent
him from going to Prickly Porky's
hill. He didn't dare to tell old Gran
ny Fox about it. He knew Just what
she would say. It seemed as though

Glendale. N. D.. Aug. 1s.-Better
Farming Agent Richards IL making a
strong effort to induce the farmers in
the different communities Of the coun-

Following is his communication:
Hog cholera may cause serious loss
to the farmers in Dickey county this
season unless they make an effort to
perfect organizations for the purchase
of an available supply Of hog cholera
serum and to perfect means to get the
vaccinating done. Three cases were
given attention by me this week and
last week in one neighborhood
west Of the James river. There were
other cases reported to me where the
owners did not apply for assistance in
the eastern portion Of the county.
Out breaks are also occurring in the
adjoining counties. II hog cholera
continues to spread at the present
rate it will become general over the
county.

Thou careless, awake!
Thou peacemaker, night!
Stand, England, for honor,
And God guard the right.
Thy mirth lay aside,
Thy cavil and play;
The foe is upon thee
And grave is the day.
The monarch Ambition
Has harnessed h1 slaves.
But the folk of the ocean
Are free as. the waves.
For peace, thou are armed
Thy freedom to hold;
Thy courage as ron
Thy good faith as gold.
Through fire, air and water
Thy trial must be,
But they had love life best
Die gladly for thee.
The love Of their mothers
Is strong to. command;
The fame of their fathers
IS might to their hand.
Much suff'ring shall cleanse thee,
But thou through the flood
Shalt win t salvation,
To beauty through blood.
Up, careless! Awake,
Ye peacemakers fight!
England stands for honor.
God defend the right.
