the leaves and prickly burns from the
little fox's overcoat, and after that he
gave him some roast chicken and a
piece of apple pie, and pretty soon
Bushytail began to smile.
II feel lots better now" he said
You're very kind"
Don't mention It," replied the bear.
Well. by this time Mr. Happy Sun
was coming up the purple hills and
morning was breaking. And all the
little birds were chirping in the trees
and the deer were drinking in the
brook and the forest was wide awake.
So the Friendly Bear opened the
front door and Billy Bunny and Uncle
Lucky got into the INckymol1ile and
drove away. They didn't want to stay
any longer. you see, for rabbits are
dreadfully afraid Of foxes.
And as soon as they were out OF
sight. Bushytail set or for his home On
the rocks on the side OF the wooded
hill, and when he got home Mrs. Daddy
Fox telephoned over to Daddy Fox's
office that Bllstytail was safe At home.
And this made the old gentleman fox
very glad, for he had been worried to
death all the night for fear something
had happened to his little son.
Dear me! forgot to say how glad
Slyboots was to see Rushytail. For
these two little foxes were very fond OF
each other, just the same as little boys
are, you know. And In the next story
you shall hear what the two little rab-
bits did after they left the Friendly
Bears cave.

"Oh, please let me in" begged the
little ragged fox. i've ben chased ali
day by the hunters" So the kind old
bear said, "Come In, but don't eat my
friends"
So the little fox came inside and the
big bear closed the door and fastened
1t with the big wooden bar, and then
lighted the little candle and 1,oked at
the poor ragged fox.
Well, by this time Uncle Lucky and
Billy Bunny were out Of their beds

they said: 'swhy, it's one Of. Daddy

THE WAR sllo.

The iowa council Of defense Il urgins
farmers to build silos as . conservation
measure. A silo is a conservation
measure. It saves feed and makes for
more food.
That's the public side Of it But Il
mas an Individual side also. The silo
pays It has always paid. Now when
eyeryy corn blade rustles like a dollar
oaH it will pay better. OF course It
costs more nowfto build a silo than it
used, hut the finished product of the
$40 sells at doubled prices. The silo
pays the public and 1t pays the farmer.
This section is fairly supplied with
silos on the larger farms. But it would
Seem that the silo would pay the small
q farmer even more than II does the
large farmer. 1t is the saving anchor
OF Che small dairy farm az It is the
nlainstay OF the big dairy. Milk is In
extraordinary demand and vile prices
Tor MAX products appear higher to the
purchaser the milk producer is not
profiting like the hog producer. A stro
would help.
SOMEBODY who assumes to know says
that, q silo will pay its own cost tile
first year. That's good investment.
;Anything Improvement that VIII pay
Tor itself in year is good one. More
than that. it is a gift.
Just now large number Of, car
pentels and builders are far from busy
ana prospects are not for greater ac-
ttvity in the building trades. It looks
IKE : good time to contract for the
skilled labor involved in building a
milo.

out Just what the process Of induce

However we may see the proclama-

seems the purpose of the governor to
enforce or have enforced the main
points of his proclamation against the
public use of foreign languages Hol-
land Dutch is not an enemy language
but the language Of a neutral nation
that Is doing its best to stay neutral
and keep alive. That the test case in
