AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT, THEY
STOPPED RIGHT UNDER THE VERY
TREE IN WHICH HOOTY THE OWL
WAS SITTING.
Green Forest impatiently waiting for it
to grow dark enough for him to begin
hunting. As he sat there, watching and
waiting. who should come along but
Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy, and as luck
would have it they stopped right under
the very tree in which Hooty was sit
ting. They didn't know this. OF course
not.
do you really think that those Cob
blers can be way over here?' asked Mrs
Reddy.
They are as likely to be somewhere
about here as anywhere else" replied
Reddy. We've looked in all the likely
places and the chances are that we will
find them in some unlikely place if we
find them at all. l wouldn't have be-
lieved that any birds as big as the Cob
blers could have raised a family of
twelve on the ground without FURNISH
ing us at least one good dinner"
Hooty pricked up his ears. This was
very interesting. He didn't know who
the Gobblers might be. but they We're
birds and Reddy and Mrs. Reddy
thought them worth spending a great
deal of time to catch. This was enough
for him. He would do a little hunting
for those Gobblers himself.
They certainly are smart" said Mrs
Reddy.
" Ou mean that thev are lucky
growled Reddy. who couldn't bear to
admit that he had been outwitted.
Have you seen them lately" asked
Mrs. Reddy.
Il caught glimpse of them yester-
day." replied Reddy. Those young
sters are as big as Farmer Browns
hens now. One apiece would make us
feast. The trouble is they have
learned to fly, and every day lessons
our chances of catching one. Come on;
they'll be going to roost soon"
Reddy and Mrs. Reddy trotted out of
sight and Hooty snapped his bill with
impatience for the coming of the Black
Shadows. big as Farmer Browns
hens" he muttered to himself. De
cidedly these Gobblers are worth look
ing for Let me see, Reddy said that
it was almost time for them to go to
roost. That must mean that they spend
the night in trees. And he said that
there are twelve Of those youngsters
as big as hens. My. my. my. That
means twelve. good dinners. If Reddy
hasn't been able to catch one of them
in daylight they must be smart OF
course, he can't catch them at night
because they roost in trees This is
my chance. What a long time it takes
'Mr. Sun to go to bed. wish he would
hurry up"
Hooty once more snapped his bill
with impatience.

JAPANESE ARE GIVEN
NETWORKS S FREEDOM

on the Tomb of Gen,
Grant.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, September 2S.-Members
of the imperial Japanese commission to
the United States, headed by Niscount

their visit to New York with a sight
seeing trip through downtown streets
where the flag of japan has been added
to the colors of the other allies placed
on almost every building since America
entered the war. Following reception
and luncheon at the chamber of COM
merce shortly after noon the visitors
were to be taken on a tour around Man
haitian Island. after which they are to
visit the tomb of Gen. Grant, where
Viscount Ishii will lay a wreath and

tton committee at a dinner.

More Than Formal Welcome.

The mission was welcomed ceremo-
niously late yesterday afternoon. While
the official greeting given Niscount
Ishii and his associates was clothed in
all the dignity to which they were en-
titled as the envoys of a great nation,
they soon were made to feel there was
something more than formal courtesy
back of the hospitality extended to
them.
Hundreds of thousands of citizens
took time to cheer enthusiastically and
spontaneously the representatives, OF
Americas war ally IN the far east.
The Japanese were met at the Bat
terry by committee of distinguished
citizens, who escorted them to the city
hall, where they were welcomed to New
York by Mayor Mitchell and Ebert II.
Gary. whose guests they will be while
in the city. The police estimated that
100000 persons lined Broadway from
the Battery to city hall, and as many
more were packed around CITY Hall
Park.
Passed Them as Friends.
In responding, Niscount Ishii said:
Your great Goddess of Liberty has
given us the challenge and has passed
US as friends. And now the city or
our dreams, which has trained our
youngsters into students and scien-
lists. or taught our men the wonders
of finance and trade: the city which
today Is the very core of the created
world has paused for precious hour
to welcome us and do us honor.
1--WE are very proud and deeply con-
scious of the meaning of this reception
and this welcome. We shall use the
freedom you have given US with care,
and we shall hope to hold its rights
and privileges, always to commemorate
this day of great rejoicing and Of vast
Importance in the history of our two
nations"

Should you desire a different food however. for
this purpose would suggest the following mash
Two parts bran, part each wheat middlngs.
alfalfa meal corn chop. gluten feed beef scrap.
flsh scrap one-haf part fax seed meal and the
usuai quantity Of salt. only difiiererce in the
two mashes is the substitution o. the fish scrap
for the bone meal and that none Of he ingredients
are sifted but fed in their sizes
Many persons who mix their own food are at
times unable 70 get the fish scrap in which event
you should uss the bone meal in the egg mash as
well as in the growing food Then too don't fail
TO give the egg layers their daily allowance Of
gre food. as this is imperative to a good yield
Milk is also an excellent food for both old and
young fowls and is good in any state. whether
sweet, skim sour. In feeding milk TO the young
sters however. il is best to remove the impurities
by first boiling it and allowing it to become cool
before feeding.
While improper feeding Is generally practiced
by the majority Of breeders, it is more than no
tieeable among farmers than those who keep fowl
in the suburbs and city lots. This is due to the
taet that the latter are compelled TO buy all of
their poultry foods from supply houses the pro-
prietors of which are more or less familiar with
the proper methods Of feeding and gladly impart
this information to their customers. The farmer.
however. generally raises his own poultry foods
and pays but little or no attention to the fowls,
feeding only that for which he has no other use.
He fails TO realize the value Of his chickens and
thus loses much real profit that should be his.
Give the birds the necessary attention which
they righuuily deserve thus insuring health and
comfort for them at all times. Follow the above
well-defned rules for feeding and you should not
only be able to raise greater proportion Of the
youngsters hatehed. but should get a much larger
egg yield than where the improper methods are
followed

ing leases for the purpose Of operating
for oil and gas He is meeting with
great success in his undertakings and
finds the land owners to be progressive
and with but few exceptions. ready TO
respond and encourage in any enterprise
that they are satisfied is for the benefit
of the people at large. They have re-
sponded almost to an individual for a
right Of way in this part Of Murderkih
Neck, extending from the St. Jones to
the Murderkill river and for several
miles west from here; also those Of Mil
ford Neck, whose lands lay along the
Murderkill, are responding freely and Of
St. Jones Neck, even more. Therefore
the projectors are much encouraged and
the probabilities are that a test well will
be started here before the month Of APP
ril is past. The event Of getting oil
and gas in this section would mean
much to this place as well as to the
