Billy Bunny ran into the house with
little Dickey Meadow Mouse. You

to play with tho little rabbit, but
after a while they had grown tired
OF skating over the hard snow. So
they picked off the little red berries
that grow on tho wild rose bushes
and took them into the house.
AMI then Mrs. Bunny put down
her knitting and got out the corn
poprer and pretty soon the little red
borries were ready to cat, and after
that Billy Bunny and Dickey Meadow
Mouse had n fine feast. And then
pretty soon Mrs. Bunny got out n
box OF carrot candy which Mrs. Cot
tontall had sent over that morning.

with nationwide approval.
Things are not going as well as
they should at Hog Island. and Mr..
Pies Is of the opinion that Stacker
ism on the part of some individual
workmen accounts largely for the
slowing down. In proof OF this he
relates that one day when spurred
by q big wager the riveting gangs

rtvets per hour for each gang. The
day before the contest the average
was seventeen rivets per hour and
Immediately after the contest the
workmen slumped back to practi-
, caily tho same number.
