FAMILY OF SQUIRREL PETS
Four Half-Grown Red Bunnies in Pos

The liveliest pets, perhaps in all
Maine, are four half-grown red squir-
rels, the proud possession of Morris
Rich, a student in HalloweT High
school, observes the Kennebec Journal.
The squirrel and her babies were cap
,tured when the latter were too young
to know butternut from a doughnut
but they are experts on the question
now. The mother escaped, but the
youngsters know a good thing when
they see it, and they seem to have no
intention of quitting the place where
food is plenty and warm nest always
inviting.
They whisk up the furry legs of
Lady" the dignifed collie, scurry
across her back, perhaps to leap from
there to the shoulder of some member
Of the family. They "sass" the cat to
her face and she seems to understand
that they are privileged characters.
They are fond of chocolate and are
neither diffident nor lack "cheek" when
their wonderful little smellers tell
them that something good is on the
| family table. But the fun begins when
there is only one piece for two scrappy,
perfect, perfectly healthy and deter
mined young squirrels.
| They are fighting blood from ear
tips to toenails, and the air is full of
squirrels and squeals right away after
war is declared. When the kicking
and fancy tumbling ends both contest
ants are discovered to be sitting up,
calmly and serenely nibbling at the
booty gained or saved-no evidence of
alteration or resentment anywhere.

Hazel stared aghast, astounded.
She was not at all sorry; she was per-

of the thing appealed to her most

A patient angler was fishing from a

fish caught We're fiat fish, and the two
watchers began to argue why the fish
We're brown on one side and white on

wouldn't wash off.
This was so ridiculed by the other
man that, angrily, he bet any amount
that his theory was correct.
Upon the case being put to the
angler, he remarked: You are entire

being brown is that the fish have been

Sea Fish Oppose Goiter,

to oppose goiter in communities where

ity of sea food in that inland coun-

idea that more frequent use of sea
fish in the diet tends to prevent or
cure simple goiter, which is rather ex-
cessively prevalent in the great lakes
basin. Sea fish contains iodine in as
similable form, and it is to this ele-
ment that the foods value in cases of
guiter is ascribed.

New Fiber Plant,

A New Costa Rican fiber plant has
been developed through selection and
cultivation by M. Peralta of San lose,
and is alleged to produce more and
stronger fiber than henequen or sisal.
A consular report states that the fiber
is made into rope, twine, mats, bags,
and even finer articles. The spineless
leaf is 9 to u feet long, and each plant
averages 80 leaves year, yielding two
pounds of fiber. With about 800 plants
to the acre, cane, beans, potatoes, or
corn can be grown on the same land.
Full growth is reached in five years,
but cuttings-two year-may begin
two years after planting the shoots.
