replied Blue Jay carelessly. I'D rather
have those bags filled with nice. meaty
nuts"
with $50. 900 you could buy all the nuts
In this woods. and all the nuts In Birdland.
and all the nuts for miles and miles around"
Blue Jay looked at Peggy a moment. then
winked one twinkling eye.
II think that is a very nutty story" ha
chuckled.
He looked so funny that Peggy had to
laugh at his slang. even though she felt .
bit indignant at his unbelief.
But that rubbish has got to come out
OF our storeroom." continued Blue Jay.
The big nut harvest will be on in a few
days and then we will need every inch Of
space because we're going 70 make our
war crop a whopper."
II seemed queer to hear Blue Jay talk 80
carelessly CT such a huge sum. just as IL Il
were only so much dirt to be thrown out to
make room for nuts. But then, Peggy re-
nected, Jays are only Birds and to Birds
Things to eat are far more precious than
silver and gold.
What he said, however. flashed a big
thought into her head. why not take the
money cut and give II back to it's rightful
owner, Uncle Sam? Peggy thrilled at the
suggestion. That would be doing something
big and worth while. The $50. 900 might
save the lives of dozens Of soldier boys.
But how could she get 1t back to the bank?
The robber surely would keep close watch
or his stolen treasure. II he came upon
her while she was moving it, he might do
something awful. Besides, even the one bag
was SO heavy she would be all tired out
carrying 1t all the way to town. The thistle
down balloon couldn't possibly lift It.
Then her busy brain hit upon a plan. She
would move the treasure to another hiding
place. hurry back to town, and tell the
people at the bank.
"Peg-peg Peg-peg!' screamed a Jay
from the river bank.
Run, run! Quick, quick 20 answered Blue
jay, pointing to the cave. A man was COM
ing out. He stood a moment looking all
around then started up the hill toward the
hollow tree.
Peggy had one startled thought. He would
discover that his hiding place had been
broken into and the treasure tempered with.
That would alarm him and he would run
away with the money.
Peggy turned and raced to beat him 70 tha
tree.
Tomorrow 1ciH be told hop the -obber

Under the old law the operators

WORK ON ROADS
TRUE ECONOMY
Concerted Action in Ell
Paso the Only Solution;
Saves Tire Troubles.

Speaking Of various measures ad-
vocated to increase economy in regard
TO automobiles, Raymond B. Stamm,
manager Of the Oakland Auto Sales
company. believes that the natter OF
road building is largely overlooked
while stress is being laid on better
treatment Of cars and better treat
ment Of tires.
How can a tire be treated right
when our roads are left in battered
condition." asks Mr.. Stamm. Con-
tinuing. he says: True, that in the
city OF FL Paso and IN FL Paso our
roads are good There is very little
complaint TO be made. But think of
the mammoth trade territory tribu-
tary TO FL Paso beyond the confines
Of our city and county where roads
are destruction traps for tires and
try the patience and durability Of ev-
cry part Of an auto.
we Of FL Paso enjoy the trade that
comes when autoists make long trips
from smaller cities and town to come
here and buy. We benefit by the
ranchmen who come for hundreds Of
miles from western Texas and New
Mexico to take back a truckload Of
supplies TO the ranch. Where is con-
cert6d action most likely to come from
70
from the scattered towns and ranch
men, or from the well organized bust
ness men OF FL PasO2
without a doubt you will agree
with me that action must emanate
from FL Paso. She is the real leader.
War demands that we improve those
roads 7 have heard some say that
war is preventing building OF good
roads. Far from It. War must en-
courage the building Of good roads
that the war program may be pushed
TO a successful ending
at any rate we must keep the sub
1ect before US The future Of the
southwest depends in a far greater
measure on auto roads than on rail-
roads. When / sell a bort or an Oak
land to some New Mexican or west
Texas farmer 7 can admOnish him to
care for his tires. but * can better
be done If We keep in mind all the
time improvement Of the roads over
which he must travel An organized
move here means success, although il
may not be accomplished at once. The
FL Paso Automobile club is doing a
world Of good along this line and
should have the help Of every owner
Of a car"
Concerning curtailment in output OF
cars, Mr. Stamm says he has been
able recently TO secure a good sup
ply Of cars which he now has on
know what may happen these rather
uncertain times, but hope to be able
TO care for customers as usual. al
though deliveries have been hindered
by cougested railroad conditions at
times. In buying autos these times
it is always safe TO begin negotiations
in plenty Of time"
