Sammy Jay Spies on Reddy
Fox.

OF course, do not mean that he Is
doing this all the time. But that is
Sammy's way when he wants to find out
something that no one will tell him.
There's isn't more clever spy in all the
Green Forest. And there isn't any one
who knows more about the affairs of
other people. So when Sammy made up
his mind that Reddy Fox and Mrs.
Reddy had managed to dig new house
and keep it a secret, and when ne mo-
ticed that Reddy was doing great deal
more hunting than there seemed any
good reason for If he had only one
stomach to keep full, he promptly de-
cided that he would do a little spying
just to satisfy his own curiosity. He
had a feeling that he might discover
something very interesting.
So the next time Sammy saw Reddy
hunting on the Green Meadows he kept
to be very busy hunting himself He
kept his tongue still and he kept as
much out of sight as possible. but ne

Reddy had very good luck that morn

him in sight. Reddy trotted along
swiftly to the edge of the Green Forest.
This surprised Sammy, because Sammy
had hunted and hunted through the
Green Forest for Reddy's new home and
hadn't found a sign of it.
When Reddy reached the edge of the
Green Forest he followed it to where It
Joined the Old Pasture. Then he look

short distance and then leaped lightly

NEW YORK. April 3o.--There is no

to. 1t has such n host of adherents
that the dressmakers do not find any

some when the warmer weather bursts
out. as the dawn comes up like thun-

today is simplicity itself. There is
stddied absence of trimming, but there
is no lack of effect. One believes that
the very avoidance of ornamentation
and the evident effort to get all the eff

rated into them than in the other days.
Instead of the black and white COM
bination which ruled the fashion then,
there is a blaze of color used singly or
together in remarkable grouping.
There Il the cape, as good example,
which Is shown today. It Is OF yellow
satin lined with turquoise blue. fold

The only tribute paid to the fashion of
ornamenting, garments is in the huge
gold buckle which holds in the various
draperies over the shoulders.
Not Simple in Construction.
If you yearn for one OF the new kind
of summer capes. do not be misled by
a model that looks very simple. Don't
try to copy 1t without pattern. These
garments are difficult of construction.
They must be cut by master hand,
one who understands and is equal to
the task of manipulating quantities OF
material and succeeds in achieving
dne bit of construction.
Look at this cape of yellow and tur-
appear from nowhere in particular. 1t
has two collars and swinging stream
ers. First one color shows, then the
other. 1t IL far too lovely to discard
when entering the house and there is
every promise that women Will con-
tinue to keep such garments on as they
sit about in the porches and houses.
Another combination that the dress
makers are turning out is built from
bright green lined with shell pink. and
another is the black and yellow of the
Longhi decorations and paintings of
the eighteenth century in Italy. A
cape of this kind with an immense or
nament of Roman gold at the neck, set
with a cameo, is WONDERFULLY effective.
In the trunks of clothes kept in some
households for revivals in fashions
there are many black satin and bro

the views of the common council, the municipal farm committee has reached the conclusion that the po- tatoes should be sold at $1.65 per bushel at the storehouse and $1.75 per bushel delivered, the above prices to apply to 1000 bushels of potatoes until Deceber 15, 1917, and the re- maining stock to be sold later at a price to be fixed by the common coun- cil"
 F. H. Afford, w. H. Hall and w. B.

feel that they should bear the re- sponsibility in the events of a sale of the potatoes at a lower cost ana then a famine or excessive prices later.
 In remarking upon the situation, MT. Kehoe said: By selling the po- tatQes for $1.9O and $1.95 per oushel we can come very near returning the $16,0O0, but if we lower the price there will be a considerable of denct. Then certain members of the counc1l, who seem to want this enterprise to be a failure, will criticise because we are unable to return the whole amount or at least all but a Nttle o4- it. If the council wants us to sell potatoes at a price lower than that for which We are selling them at pres ent, very well, but the council as whole should take the responsibility, not us."
 Following further comment upon the price w. E. Rossberg introduced a motion recommending to the council that the price of potatoes he fixed at $1.65 per bushel at the storehouse and $1.75 delivered. Judge Gaffney remarked that a time limit should be set for these prices and also that a limit be placed on the amount to be sold at such prices. MT. kehoe ex- pressed disapproval of the motion and opposed recommending anything to the council. It was his opinion that by recommending such action the committee would become responsible for results and the members would then be open to criticism. 1T do not want them to say Shake not thy gory locks at me-, he said, turning from potatoes to a quotation from Macbeth
 But Banquo was dead when Mac beth said that. We are not dead ones and there has been no murder committed, retorted Judge Gaffney.
 NO, but there will be-we will be murdering the city treasury, and we may be dead ones before we are through, said MT. Kehoe.
 When it was apparent that Judge Gaffney had not further remarks to make and MT. Kehoe had ceased his poetic outburst, Acting Chairman F. H. Afford put the following resolu- tion, drafted by Judge Gaffney and approved by the committee:

POTATOES AGAIN
 BEFORE COUNCIL
Will Be Given Chance to Lower
 Price Wednesday Evening

Mayor Quigley will call a special next Wednesday at which time the question of the price of municipal potatoes will be brought before that body and the members will be given in the price. At the session last We'd nesday it was apparent that there were some who favored reducing the price and at a special meeting of the farm committee held late yesterday to consider this matter it was decided that if the council wishes to have the price lowered it may so direct. Until it does the committee feels that it should stick by it's original figures, fixed after due consideration. It is the desire of the farm committee to have any further responsibility in re- gards to price or supply Or potatoes rest with the council, the committee feeling that 1t is a creature of the council and as such is bound to do it's bidding.
 : At the farm committee meeting yesterday afternoon Thomas H. Kehoe expressed a firm avowal to stand by his guns and not change the price of potatoes from $1.90 and $1.95 unless ordered to do so by the council Frederick Parson expressed the same sentiment. Both of these men ex- pressed the opinion that while pota- toes may be more plentiful in the market at present, as the winter pro- gresses the supply will diminish and then it will be that the people will profit by the municipal supply on hand It is because of this belief that the committee members did not
