Toucan Bird.

"Oh, yes" said the Fairy.
"But you said was queer"
"You nre queer. But / like queer
things-at least some queer things and
you are one of them. 1t would be very

Toucan Bird.
"And are you going to tell me about

"What shall tell you-why I am
queer? I can't very well tell you that
because to my mind I'm not queer
Now you are queer to me because you
are so different"

Fairy, for she was little afraid that
the toucan bird might be hurt because
she had called him queer.
"Our wings are very different,
though" said the Toucan Bird. "And
we speak differently. It's strange that
can understand you. I can't under
stand children"
"That's because I'm fairy. We can
always be understood. We love birds
and animals and know all their lam
guages."

little Fairy coaxingly.

"That I will be delighted to do" said

sarcastic reply. declining to recon-
mend the appointment 1t is said that
le never forgot the merited rebuke he
received from the friend who had sug-
gested the appointment:

Announcement has been made by

the efforts to combat the spinach
aphis which seriously attacked the
truck crops Of Virginia year after
year. This has been accomplished by
the introduction Of the spotted lady
bird, which is said to have proved
very effective In keeping down the
aphis. The first efforts In this direc-
ton were unsuccessful, owing to the
fact that there has been extensive re-

this left no accommodations for the

perished during the winter. This has
now been taken care Of and the raw
