THE HEN AND THE FOX

Once hen was out eating grass.
And fox came along and said,
Good morning Mrs. Chickabiddy,'
Good morning Mr. Fox" said Mrs.
Hen. Il have a new trick" said
Mr.. Fox. Il want you to try it."
Alright" said Mrs. Hen. What
is it?' Shut your LEFT eye and
give a loud shout, very few ami.
mails can do that" said Mr.. Fox.
"Ho, no." laughed Mrs. Hen, that
is easy" TT is not as easy as you
think for, try it once" So she
shut her left eye and shouted, Cut,
cut, kada cut"
And it happened that her left
eye was on the side that Mr.. Fox
was. And he seized her and
scampered down the road. But just
then the owner of the hen came
out and saw what had happened.
And she called out, Drop that
hen, she belongs to mel" Then
the poor hen, gasped, Tell-her-I-be-
long-to-you." Then just as Mr.. Fox
laid her down to tell the woman,
the hen ran, and flew up to the top
of the nearest tree. And then she
shut her left eye, and shouted over
and over, again. While Mr.. Fox
SUNK away in the bushes, and said
to himself, That is what comes OF
talking when one has something
else to do And I'm glad to say,
that the hen never ventured that
close to fox again.-Esther Weist,
age 8 years.

This little brown bird is one of
our best friends in this part of the
country, and yet how few of the
girls and boys around here really
know him. He is just about the
size of sparrow. and almost the
same color, too. but he acts very
differently. Instead of quarreling
and fussing from morning to night,
the little brown creeper goes bust
ly to work as soon as daylight
comes, securing the trunks of the
trees from the bottom almost up to
the top. carefully searching every
crack in the bark for larvae or
harmful insects eggs, and destroy
ing all that he finds. For the little
brown creeper only stays here in
the winter time, and perhaps even
now they all have felt the call of
spring time SO much that you will
not be able to find them until next
fall. But keep watching for this
little bird, and try to get really &C.
quainted with him. Remember that
he looks quite like little sparrow,
but that you only will see him bus
lily at work, going right straight up
the side Of tree, turning his little
head from side to side, steadying
himself with his tail braced against
the tree, and doing us unlimited
good by destroying hundreds of
harmful insects and worms before
they can hatch out in the summer
time.

Dear Aunt Molly: How many diff.
ferent kinds of orioles have we in
Ohio and Indiana?-Esther Weist.
My dear Esther: The only two
kinds with which ] am acquainted
are the Baltimore oriole and the Or

rather common, though at first
glance many people probably would
think the orchard oriole was
robin.-Ed.
Dear Editor: | looked in the
Easter number of the Junior and
expected to find out why Easter
does not have one date, as other
holidays do, and how you can tell
when it is coming. But no one
had asked about it, and 50 will
have to ask you myself ID. {. H.
The rule for Easter Sunday, 10
that 1t comes ON the first Sunday
after the first full moon following
the 21st of March; or if the full
moon comes on the 21st of March it
Is the first Sunday after that. This
custom is kept from the old Jewish
custom Of the feast of the Passover,
because it was to celebrate that
feast that Christ went to Jersualem
the last time and held the last
supper before his death.-Ed.

CANARY PULLS DOGS
TAIL

Fluffy is a little yellow canary.
Mrs. Carlton is the little canary's
mistress. In winter they shut the
doors and let the little bird fly
around in the house. 1t has song
that it sings in the morning Ap1
a song that 1t sings at night. They
cover the cage up at night because
when 1t sees the electric light he
thinks 1t is morning and begins to
sing. 1t will fly upstrairs and all
around. It will come and sit on its
mistress's hand, and eat sugar from
her hand. It will fly down and pick
hairs from the dogs tail. It Is very
tame.-Maude Matthews, 5B Grade.

MONKEY DOES TRICKS

Once upon a time saw a monk

desk and began to play a drum.
Then another monkey came in and
began to dance. A bear came in
and one of the monkeys got upon
the bears head and the monkey be-
gan to pick lice off of him. All the
people began to laugh and the chill
dren thought they saw something
they wouldn't forget.-Tuebert Per

What the Heart Does

The blood flows through our body

white and the red-corpuscle make
the blood red. Arteries take the

bring it back to the heart. The

SELECTING SEED CORN.

A man living near Nashville recently
grew four stalks of popcorn on which
were 81 ears. He said he has been Sc
lectlng the seed for eight years. When
he first began the best stalks rarely
ever had more than four ears.
That should be an object lesson to
farmers generally of the value of Sc
lectiRg seed corn and doing it in the
field, as that man did.

LARGE ENROLMENT EXPECTED
This County Booked for an Enrolment
of I,700 Women for Food
Conservation.

During the week of the pledge cart
signature campaign of October 81 tt
October 70, when 800. 900 family units
in Tennessee will be asked and expect
ed to JOIN the national food administra
tion tor the saving of food, cumberland
county will be expected to secure l70(
enrollments.
The registration for Crossville will
be held In the dental parlors OF DR.. +.
J. Upham, Saturday from nine a. m.
to five p. IN. Every woman in Cross.
vile of Is years of age and over should
make 1t point to register.
The state campaign com mittee has
MADE seventy five per cent of the fam
lily units according to the last feaeral
census, the goal tor each county and
the above are the figures for this coun.
ty.
The card is simple. BY signing one
simply becomes member of the ma
tional food administration. pledging CO.
operation to the government in it's
efforts to conserve the food supply of
the country.
No one is expected or asked to eat
less, but to eat more wisely. There is
a great shortage OF wheat, of meats,
Of sugars and fats. These things are
needed and will be needed IN increas-
lngly large amounts tor shipment over
seas If we are to win the war.
The American housewives are asked
to substitute potatoes and corn for flour
bread as far az possible, leaving a
larger quantity Of wheat ter export.
They are asked 20 substi - =,
rass eshg ot@ assSats
to use mere poultry and less pare 'and
beef and mutton.
Sugar IL scar:e in Europe. For
months the French and British have
been on an allow ance that is less than
one fifth the normal consumption PEI
capita OF this country. The people are
asked to use more sorghum and syrups
and less sugar.
This is movement that should ap-
peal both to the patriotism and the
spirit of thrift of the American people.
The more fats and sugars and bacon
and beef saved the better off they will
be financially and at the same time
they will be just as healthy.
Indications are that the consumption
of sugar will be very materially re-
duced this year because of the large
crop Of sorghum grown. Mills are now
working with all energy converting
the cane into golden sorghum and IN
a short time many homes will not only
have abundance for home use but many
gallons for sale. It promises to sell
around rs cents gallon in the retail
market, and may 60 even higher than
that.

and how diligently the women had
borne the tremendous burden of con-
serving those crops. Everywhere Gel
lars and pantrles were filled with cans
and jars, and still, with aching arms,
efforts were being made by them to
save what remained In the fields.

four members. In the afternoon a

life of the capital.
The president is extremely fond of

Questions and Answers
Conducted in The Muscular Every Week Under the Di-
rection of H. P. Griffin, Formerly Of the Faculty Of
Montana State College.
Cultivation for Corn,

Question:: What cultivation is nee
essary in order to successfully grow
corn in Montana?
J. L. K. Roman.
Answer: Corn likes a deal of cuiti-
walton. After planting it should be
narrowed twice with about ten day
interval with n spike tooth harrow. 1t
should then be cultivated once every
week or ten days until it is waist high.
or high enough to shade the ground
and retard the growth of weeds. The
best plan is to check row and cultivate
alternately lengthwise and crosswisc of
the field. The greatest mistake made
in corn growing in Montana is in Civ
ing too little cultivation. with two
row cultivator a man and team can
cultivate about Is acres in day at
a cost Of rs cents to 35 cents an acre.
To harrow twice and cultivate about
five times will cost only in the neigh
borhood of So an acre. About twice
the corn may be expected from such
cultivation as where no cultivation is
given. as is Often the case in some
parts of the state.
