unsheltered in all sorts Of weather.
Joe went to the barn and got a sack.
From the oak grove he managed to
scrape up four sackfuls of leaves
These he placed in a corner Of the
fence. Then he cut a pole about ten
feet long and ran it cater %cornered
through the wires of the two lines OF
fence about three feet from the ground.
Several shorter ones were placed be
hind 1t to the angle formed by the
fence cOrner post.
With his Ratchet he cut pine brush
from the bushes in an old field and
piled them on the poles in the fence
Orner the stems all pointing to the
front, until a thick thatch formed Il
slOping roof which would shed rain.
Then he piled more pine brush about
the two sides formed by the converging
wire fence and climbed over and sur
veyed his work.
He had made a coZy rain and wind
proof shelter. and he smiled as he
thought of how those uncared for pigs
Of Sullivan's would enjoy it. Across
the road was Il spring branch and an
abandoned washtub from the house.
with an approach of dirt banked to it's
edge. which, set down and placed in the
field. formed a watering place for the
pigs. Joe thoughtfully put several
large stones In the tub so that the wa
ter was not owe five inches deep. In
case one of the pigs fell in it would not
drown.
Next morning Jim Sullivan brought
the pigs, lively. spotted little fellows.
but poor as snakes. Joe turned them
loose in the field, and they began eat
ing the tender young rye as If they
were famished. Jim's scrawny horses
were also ravenously devouring the
green stuff. After STIMULATING that Sui
Ivan was to fill the water tub each
morning and evening Joe locked the
gate and went up to the house.
Mother. you and sister come with
me. I've got something to show YOU"
he said.
"All right. Come on, ANNIE" called
Mrs. Weston. And they followed Joe
down the road to his farm" as they
called the four acres.
"Oh-h, brother, look at those old
horses in your farm! Let's run them
out" cried Annie.
Hurry, son! They are just gobbling
your rye"
Joe laughed.
That's what ! put them in there

awhile"
But they are eating up the rye!' OBJ

THAT won't hurt it-really benefits

the roots throw out twice as many
more, and makes each plant stronger

"Oh. and there are two horrid little
pigsies in there too! I'll chase them
out for yOu," said Annie.
II thought you said that hogproof
fencing would keep them out" in
quired Mrs. Weston.
1T willard keep them in too. Those
are my pigs, and l put them In there.
I traded pasturage with Jim Sullivan

; "They are mighty little-and poor"
observed his mother.
II feels sorry for them-just look at
their poor little ribses!" said Annie.

COMMERCE AND FINANCE

The downward movement was accelerated
by the encountering of stop loss orders
placed by people who could not put ur
additional margin and those who wanted
to save at least some of their paper
profits.
Notwithstanding the pronounced
weakness Of the war brides" the rails
and copper displayed a strong under
tone. Steel was also relatively firm
its maximum decline being 21-2 points
Notwithstanding the large blocks tina,
came onto the market. In the last half
hour there was a rally which ranged
from 2 to 8 points.
Interest in the coppers is increas-
ing. especially the low-priced issues.
and these shares were in demand on
all recessions. Inspiration is expected
to be the leader Of this group. Ray
Consolidated is also being picked up
quietly on expectation of larger pay
ments to shareholders. Brokers who
are advising customers to buy the cop
pers are inclined to favor the con-
vertible bonds of these companies for
people who want to invest for income
as well as profit.
War stocks may come and go but
Bethlehem Steel common seems to con-
tinue onward indefinitely. t no time
during the break did the Bethlehem
common show more than a fractional
decline. The rise to the new high
record of 401 was accomplished on an
ORDER for more than 1000 shares which
was distributed from 1893 up.
There was urgent buying of Few
Haven in the afternoon that advanced
it sharply.

Another Weakening Spell.

From this level there was quick re-
covery. but after some hesitation the
market had another weakening spell in
the afternoon. the extent of the decline
being much worse than in the forenoon.
