A New Pig Came Along.

vice president (he's next to mel, one
the treasurer and secretary, and one
the Judge"
They all looked at POrky Pig with
their shouts hanging down quite sadly.
Each had hoped he would be presi-
dent.
Just then new pig came along.
"Good afternoon, brothers and
friends" he said, bowling politely, and
twisting his tail as he laughed ~ Os-
antly. Hope you're all feeling well
this nice spring day."
"We're having great deal of trOu-
ble," said Grandfather Porky. snow
I'm the oldest and wisest pig in the
pen and would like to be the presi-
dent, but 1t seems that every pig
wants to be president. Every single
pig has the same idea-to be the lead
Grand all because I suggested it."
"Before We gather any more pigs
around u.s." said the new pig whose
name was Sammy Sausage. "let's de-
eide on something. Now the farmer
bought me because he knew 1 had
sense. / have. Look at me-! I'm
Sammy Sausage, the great pig. And
If you were really wise you'd all
choose me for president"
"Dear me-" squealed Grandfather
Porky sand still another pig wants to-
take the lead"
Listen" said Sammy Sausage. 1--WE
don't want any Of the other pigs to
hear or they'll all want to be presi-
dent. But we will all now decide to
each try to be president. Wen get
the pigs to vote and the one who gets
the most votes will be president, the
one who comes in second with votes
will be vice president and SO on down
through the list
How will we get the pigs to vote
for us?' asked Grandfather Porky.
"Oh, that's simple" said Sammy
Sausage, "all we do is to go around
and make speeches on s:umps or mud
piles. We must say that every other
pig up for the job of being the leader
Is absolutely no good at all, we must
say that If the pigs don't want the
pen to go to absolute destruction then
they must vote for us; that Is each
pig for himself"
Fine, fine" the pigs squenled. And
OF they went telling of their new
scheme and asking the pigs to vote
for them on the day soon coming up
on which all pigs would be expected
TO make their choice.
But the poor pigs got mixed up, for
each pig called the other n dreadful
creature and said the most awful
Things about each other, until all the
pigs were fighting and quarreling. 1t
was just then that Mrs. Pinky Pig
stepped In and said one day when all
the pigs were gathered around. Lets.
all be the same, equal pigs and> don't
iets hight about who is to lead" SO
they gave up voting and were once
more friendly and happy.

For those who do not care to carry
on their windshields the more or less
cumbersome squeegee devices, a spe-

chemically, for cleaning wet wind

moves the mist formed by the rain, but
deposits thin coating that prevents
further mist from gathering.

W|LDDEER FAMED
 IN REDWOOD PARK
rRepubliean A. p. Leased wirsl


 BIG BASIN, Calf. July 3.-Wild deer answer breakfast and dinner calls in the giant redwoods. Under the towering sempervirens 800 feet high and as thick as 35 feet, stands the cabin of man who calls the bucks and and does from their mountain haunts to feed. A. NJ. Weaver, deputy warden of the State Redwood Park, has suc- ceeded after seven months patient ef- fort in gaining the confidence of ths limpid- eyed children of the forest.
 Early in the morning. or at o'clock in the evening. campers and visitors hear a loud call Come baa- a-by, Come baa- -baa-byr from the heart of the forest. Soon after this the fleet deer are seen bounding through the redwoods. They come within a few yards of the deputy warden and pa tiently wait until he finishes his call for others he expects. and finally throws to them cut pieces of apple.
 Should a stranger walk within theil sight the deer wheel, and bound away, returning only when Mir. Weaver again calls, and after the moving person has either stopped or walked out of sight. Then they cautiously move up to Mir. Weaver and partake of his tidbit of- fcrings.
 Lettuce and vegetable parings form the. next portion of the meal, and fin ally Mir. Weaver will walk towards large fallen redwood giant where stands a shallow trough. The deertrot almost at his heels. Mir. Weaver spreads barley in the trough and the leer walk up to it and feed like mules.
 An old doe will paw away the tough CT deer and feed on the thicl1est of the barley. They use their feet in fight ing. and quite often the old doe seems vfciously hoggish.
 hast November the warden discov- cred the deer were following him to cat apple parings he might drop, ana months of patience in accustoming them to his voice and motions have been rewarded with their answering his calls for breakfast or dinner.
 The greatest number at one time that yet have answered the call is fourteen. Never has the call sounded with less than one coming.
 During the spring the bucks dropped off. being in velvet. and Mir. Weaver does not expect them to return until their horns are hard. Does dropped oY but returned within three days after finding their young. Mir. Weaver says they hide their young and come 10 feed, and hopes that soon the doe will bring the young in to feed with them.
 Several times the deer have been driven out of the Big Basin by hounds, and several that had come to feed were lost this way, according to the warden. Deer are protected within the state park and loose dogs and firearms are prohibited.
 Of those who visited the park this year. including many sportsmen there were none who had heard of wild deer being called in to feed. and Mir. Wea- vcr is probably the first man earning the distinction as a feeder of wild deer who can call them to their meals.
 Many visitors have suggested pad dock in the heart of the sempervirens into which the deer might be led ana trained to domesticity. The matter Will soon be officially submitted 10 the park commission.
