EFFICIENT HOUSEKEEPING,

some useful growing thing, ms IT Is growing
grass that today is too long and tomorrow
must be moved again.
If YOU have not the garden fever, YOU
are n rara avis; but you surely have or, IN
any event. have a desire to make the yard

want TO raise potatoes, onions, beans,
radlshcs and juicy, tender, luscious green
peas, the least YOU can do, to save your
face, is to turn your garden INTO spice
box. Yes, indeed, IT Is as interesting as 1t
sounds. ANY garden of her bs and peppers,
hot or mild, pcppcry or sweet, takes the
promise of meals TO come out of the COM

Wooddy Chuck watched and watch
ed, but not once did he catch Reynard
going out OF the woods. and lie began 10
think perhaps he had wronged the Fox
family, when one night he saw Reynard
stealing out Of the house with a bag over
his shoulder.
"Ah." thought Wooddy Chuck, now
we will see, Mr.. Reynard Fox. how
good YOU really are. | suspect very
much you are off for the farms to pick
,Ip a few hens and ducks
And Wooddy was right for cat Of
the woods stole Reynard and over the
hills he went. and when he returned
his bag was filled He had planned to
have all the animals keep away from
the farm until the farmers thought
they had frightened them all away,
and did not keep such close watch or
set their traps any more, and then Rey-
nard would have it all TO himself.
But Reynard did not count on little
Wooddv Chuck In fact he had al
wavs thought Wooddv a stupid little
fellow. but as he was 10 learn better now
As soon as Reynard had left the woods
Wooddy Chuck scampered around to all
the wood folks houses and told them
what he had seen. and when Reynard
arrived at his own door with the full
bag over his back there they were. all
waiting for him From behind the trees
and bushes they all jumped until Reynard
thought all the animals in the world had
gathered there.
Good evening, Revnard. they all
said, YOU are out very late to belong
to our Good Club What have YOU in
your bag"
"Squawk, squawk. went hen. "Quacb

not need TO answer They all knew what
he had.

THE VALUE OF A HIDE.
At Least Eight Turnovers From
Raw Material TO Shoes and
Leather Novelties.

Ieslie's: A farmer raises a steer
whose hide sells for 81; that hide IS
going to end by being made into
shoes. belts and trinketS. If nobody
wanted the final products, OF course
the hide would not be worth s.
neither that hide nor any Others IN
the neighborhood. In such event
the village storekeeper. the farm
hand. the local minister and others
whose activities are benefited by the
sale OF the hide would be so much
less prosperous. Between the iarn-
er and the men who wear the shoes
IS a succession OF dealers IN raw
hides. truckmen. two or three rail-
road transportations, two separate
processes of preliminary tanning
and manufacture. jobber OF leath-
er. a merchant OF findings and add
shoemaking materials. a maker OF
shoe machinery and tools, the Shoe
factory. at least one wholesaler and
a retailer. There are at least eight
turnovers. maybe ten, and from the
81 hide to shoes and leather novel
ties worth SIS one can easily count
SoO.75 in successive sales. 1t the
successive deposit and collection OF
the checks involved Is also "busi-
ness'-and it is-it expands TO ST.
25. This isn't all the gainful human
activity set in motion by the turn
over" of the one hide. Every con
cern that handled it had 4 place OF
business and employees; the handling
of the hide is a part OF the reason
for paving rents. wages. stationery
bills. postage, telegraph and phones.
electric light or gas, lawyers fees,
taxes. From profits. wages and pay
ment set in circulation the beneht
of the business extends to every
kind of trade. There are few lines
OF modern production that do not
involve a long train OF turnover,
successive manufacture and combi-
nation. And every turnover sets in
motion its widening rings OF uni
versal benefit.
