Peggy looked anxiously for the
Crows, but they had all disappeared
in the distance. Brownie Owls forces
followed after them.
What's the plan of attack" cried
Peggy to Brownie Owl. who Aut.
tered along beside the chariot.
"Oh, we left that for you" an
swered Brownie Owl. II just organ
lied this army-you're leading it."
We'll, if you organized it why
didn't you get some Swallows, Purple
Martins and King Birds in it?" asked
Peggy sharply. They are real
fighters"
But they are day time fighters" re.
piled Brownie Owl. This is going to
be a night attack, so made up an
army of night birds"
"Oh, that's the idea," said Peggy
thoughtfully. She now began to see
some possibilities in this battle in the
dark. If Brownie Owls warriors
could catch the Crows asleep they
might be able to give them a sound
thrashing before the Crows could get
thoroughly awake, The Crows
wouldn't be able to see in the dark,
while the night Birds could.
The sun had gone down and dusk
was falling, Brownie Owls forces
skinned over the treetops of large
forest. From below came sleepy caws
and murmurs. 1t was the Crows GO
ing to bed. As the Birds lowered over
the Woods, Peggy heard a Crow
mothers lullaby to her little ones:
oh, shut your tired peppers,
You dear baby sleepers;
Dream of the sweet corn
You'll have In the morn
Well feast and we'll froiie
Till you all have collie.
SO now take your rest.
Safe close to my breast
Suddenly loud hoarse Crow voice
rang out:
"Cawl Cav! Cawl Rest to you all
and disaster to him who disturbs
you"

ing APPS" whispered Brownie Owl
They'll all be asleep in minute and
then we'll attack"

she has undertaken more than she bargained

Ira Henry Run Down by
Auto and Left DYING in Road

Ira Henry, a farmer living east of
Honey Creek, was injured Sunday af-
ternoon when a Ford car he was
driving was struck by a big automo-
bile bearing a Nebraska license num-
Der. His car was wrecked. The men
in the car stopped only long enough
to drag him out of the road and lay
him by the side of his wrecked car
and then sped away. He was too
badly hurt to get the license number
of the car. Other automobiles pas
sing picked him up and took him to
Honey Creek. Crescent officers re-
ported damaged Nebraska car head
ed for Council Bluffs and it was
picked up at the city limits. 1t was
not the outfit that had run down and
abandoned the farmer. A broken
spring caused by a rut at a bridge
was the only damage.

is helping wonderfully well to keep

the unpublished prices Of some ar

on these. This is particularly true in
the price Of meats and canned goods
I have read in The Herald where the

lated by the government on all ar

articles included in the list OF prices
published One can understand how
the price Of fresh vegetables viii vary

staples as fresh beef, pork or mutton
should not vary as much as 20 cents a

are stores in this city selling beef at
