And every little squealer wants to
keep clean and sanitary. He will keep
the backyard sanitary. for unlike
the goat, he eats all the watermelon
rinds and the cabbage leaves that
might be otherwise turned over to
Mister Cohn.
According to Mr. Howell it is not
at all unreasonable to suggest to
every citizen with a backyard that
he raise at least one litter OF pigs and
one goat. thereby providing means by
which he can keep his backyard in
fine condition, The little pigs will
consume everything the goat leaves.
and he will consume all the con-
densed milk and the empty tomato
cans and old newspapers. so that all
that may be left viii be the ashes

work. No time whatever IN allowed for
football or other recreation.
When classes arc finally resumed It
will have been practically a whole
