SNOWFALL ADOPTS MIDNIGHT

Well said Snowfall, as he looked
out Of doors, this is certainly pretty
bad weather I think I had better
put on my sweater if I am going into
the city with master this morning.
And SNOWFALL was right; it was bad
weather, for, neither showing nor rain
ing. it was q little of both, and every
thing was covered with a glare Of
slippery, treacherous ice, and it was
unusually cold. Kit and Puff looked
with amaZement when SNOWFALL came
out with the red collar of his sweater
drawn as far as it would go up around
his neck, completely covering his col
lar and partly covering his face.
you are not going to town a morn
ing like this?" they asked as Snowfall
started toward where the team was
standing. "Oh, yes" said SNOWFALL,
I'm no Preside cat like you and
some of the other Tables around here.
When I have work to do l don't let a
little ice and a little cold weather
drive me under the stove" and, f1irt-
ing his tail saucily, he jumped up on
the seat of the wagon to wait for his
master.
In town there were number of long
waits while goods were being bought
or delivered, and one of the longest of
them was in part of the town where
SNOWFALL did not remember of having
ever been before. The houses were
tumbledown in appearance, with here
and there a blind swinging loosely on
one hinge. and not few windows
from which the glass had been broken.
This must be the slum district, -
said SNOWFALL to himself, "and l sup
pose there may be some pretty tough
characters round about here. l shall
have to keep a sharper watch than
usual to see that nothing is stolen
from the wagon While he was walk
ing about trying to watch both sides
of the wagon at once he heard a faint
''meouw'' from the ground, and going
over to that side of the wagon from
which the sound seemed to come he
saw the most disreputable little black
kitten that he had ever seen. His
little body was so small and poor that
his head looked two sizes too large
for him, and his eyes were all watery
with tears as he looked up at Snow
ball and meOuwed again.
What's the matter, kitten?" said
Snowfall; why don't you go home
where it's nice and warm and get
something to eat? You look hungry"
Il am hungry" said the kitten; but
/ amt got no home"
Little by little SNOWFALL learned the
story of the kitten, how he had be-
longed to a little girl who had tired
of playing with him and how he had

a time in the history of American
agriculture when they received more
attention. They are in the rays of
the nations spotlight, agriculturally
speaking.
To their credit is must be said that
they are taking the honors modestIy.
They are going ahead and proving in
conclusive manner that they are justly
entitled to the good things being said
of them
What the boys and girls are doing
today to promote better agriculture is
of inestimable value to the country at
large. Not only does it tend to in
crease crop production, but it is max
ing life more attractive on the farm.
Through the medium of boys corn
clubs and girls garden and canning
clubs the boys and girls are learning
that there is much that is worth while
in country life. With education along
these lines and the unfolding Of the
mysteries of plant life it is becoming
more difficult to lure them from the
farm.
The boys corn club work is a def
mite effort by the United States de-
partment of agriculture, the state agri-
cultural colleges, and other institutions
to promote and encourage increased
production of corn at a reasonable cost
on small areas and to offer a plan Of
vocational guidance by requiring club
members to master a complete corn
crop operation.
This begins with the selection of
suitable seed and follows the opera
ton to marketing or feeding and in
cludes the making up of a complete
crop report of the work, its cost and
expenses. In this work the profit on
the investment is as important as
the matter of yield.
The future of American agriculture
is largely dependent on the boys and
| girls of today, and it is the purpose
of this corn club movement to assist
| the other forces now at work to in
terest, instruct and direct the boys of
our villages and rural communities in
| the possibilities Of farming as a profit
able and dignif1ed profession.
| Corn growing on the one-acre basis

and interest AS a field crop of In.
terest and cash value it has nc
| superior. From the standpoint of its
economical relation to farm manage
ment it will encourage diversified
farming, soil building by rotation OF
crops, the feeding of hogs, the keep
ing Of other live stock, ETC., and is
| considered one of the most profitable
field crops grown in the grain states.
The girls clubs are conducted along
lines similar to the work Of the corr
clubs, only the crop is some garden
crop-such as tomatoes-which caf
be disposed of not only as a fresS
vegetable, but the product may also
be canned.

Did you ever see such a looking

Never" said Kit "SnswbaH must
have taken him out Of an ashbarrel.
What do you suppose he brought him
home for, and what is he going to do
with him?"
What am going to do with him %
said Snowfall, who had returned just
in time to hear the latter part Of Kits
remark. I'm going to make a cat Of

FROG IN BABY'S STOMACH

Is Dead.

The eighteen-months-old child OF

following an operation which disclosed
conditions that many surgeons had de-

Qnd.J dispatch to the Indianapolis Star
While visiting her parents in syria
cuse, Kosciusko county, last summer,
Mrs. Wolf permitted the baby to drink
hydrant water Within a short time
the infant became sick1y and lost flesh
Treatment fer indigestion was given,
but it did not reach the seat OF the
trouble. Then an X-Tay examination
disclosed a black spot on the stomach,
and an operation resulted in a frog
weighing more than half a pound be-
ing taken from the infant
Doctors who operated said they be-
Iieved that when the child drank ny
drant water in Syracuse a tadpole was
taken into the stomach and that the
frog developed and lived on milk,
which was given the patient in large
quantities. Following the operation
the child improved rapidly and COM

of it in the storm.
Well said Snowfall, when mas
ter comes back I'll see what we can
do for you. Wait around while"
When the master was about to jump
on the team Snowfall stopped him
and called his attention to the little
kitten and told him the story he had
just heard His master agreed with
SNOWFALL that something ought to be
done. and as it was about lunch time
they agreed to take the kitten on to
the wagon and carry him along to
the place where Snowfall got his usual
saucer of milk When Snowfall got
his milk the little kitten got a saucer,
too. and he ate it as if he had never
had anything good before.
Tastes pretty good, don't it?' said
Snowfall as he smoothed his mustache
a little after he had finished. Wont
you have a little more?" The kittie
said he would and finished another
saucer almost as quickly as he had the
first one.
second saucer Snowfall was over in
the corner talking with his master,
and as the kitten finished SNOWFALL
said to him: Il have decided to take
you along with me to my home out
in the country if you would like to go. -
The kitten was quick to say that he
would, and SO SNOWFALL helped him to
get upon the seat of the wagon, his
master took a corner of the horse
blanket and wrapped it around him,
and so with SNOWFALL close beside
him. Midnight, for that was What
Snowfall had already named him be
cause of his blackness, rode out into

backs and making their fur bristle VI

There is a kind of savings bank for
girls in Germany which might well be
