said to himself that there would be
plenty of time to tink of that later. The
chief thing was to find out what the
inside of that cellar was like.
So without any more waste of time
Jimmy jumped down. AS l have said
before. 1t wasn't a very great jump,
and Jimmy landed on all four feet
without any trouble and at once be-
gan to explore that cellar. 1t was
rather disappointing. In fact, 1t was
quite disappointing. There was moth
ing to eat that Jimmy wanted. There
were certain stone jars that he couldn't
get into, and there were shelves on
which were a great many things that he
couldn't reach. There were some bar

rels also. but what was in them Jimmy
couldn't find out. So 1t didn't take him
long to decide that he was no longer
interested in that cellar and better 60
on about his business. And then. and
not until then, Jimmy Skunk found that
while that cellar was easy to get into,
getting out was quite another matter.
He had been too inquisitive for his
own good.

OF course And right now he could
smell vegetables and other smells that
made him want to see what they could
be coming from.
Now. when Jimmy Skunk makes up
his mind that he wants to do a thing
he usually does 1t. At least he tries to
do it. One reason for this Is his indie
pendence He has grown SO used to
having everybody step aside for him
and allow him to have his own way
that he is apt to think he can go any
where and do anything he pleases.
People who have their own way too
much are rather inclined to be that
way and it is neither good for them nor
for others.
Jimmy poked his head in at the open
window in Farmer Browns cellar and
considered. 1t wasn't very far down to
the floor. He wouldn't mind the jump
at all. What Jimmy failed to do was to
consider how he was to get out again.
This didn't enter his head. If he had
thought of it he probably would have

RIG COOPERAGE PLANT SOON TO
BEGIN WORK AT SAVANNAH

SAVANNAH, Ga, May With the
signing of a three-year contract with
Grief Brothers, a large cooperage con-
Germ of Cleveland, and with the early
erection of a galvanized iron and steel
building 200 feet long by 40 feet wide,
the 50 ,000, 900 Savannah Sugar Rein
ing corporation at Port Wentworth has
solved its barrel problem by construct
ing it's own barrel factory.
President B. A. Oxnard, of the re-
finery, said the contract with Grief
Brothers called for at least 1900 bar
rels day, or at least $500 barrels a
year; this will take care of about 60
per cent. of the 100000 pounds day
of fine white sugar which the refinery
will put out. The Cleveland concern
has installed its own machinery in the
factory, will employ it's own expert la
Dor, and will turn out completed bar
rels from gum slaves, steel hoops and
wooden heads shipped here from Cleve-
| land
A Savannah company, hoping to sup
ply the refinery, has erected its own
barrel factory near the big plant, but
now that the refinery will manufacture
barrels itself, the output of the factory
will be available Tor other industries.
