THE RED SQUIRREL
 CEASES THE NUTHATCH

Samuel Scoville, Jr.. in the January
 Yale Review.)
 Above us a white breasted nut hatch with it's white cheeks and black kead was rat-tat-tatting up and around a half dead limb, picking out every insect egg in sight from the bark. As the bird came near the broken top of the bough, out of a hole popped very angry red squir- rel exactly like jack-in-the-box. The | red squirrel is the fastest of all the l tree folk among the animals. but d nuthatch on a limb is not afraid of anything that flies or crawls or climbs. He can run up and down and around a branch forward and back 1 ward unlike the woodpeckers which | must always back down, or the brown creepers which can go up q tree in long spirals but have to fly down. A red streak flashed down the limb on which the nuthatch was working. That was the squirrel. A fraction of a second ahead of the squirrel there was a wing of gray and white. That was the nuthatch. Be- fore the squirrel could even recover his balance there was a cheerful rat-tat-tat just behind him on the other side of the limb. As the squir- rel turned, the rapping sounded on the under side of the branch. His bushy red tail quivered and, using some strong squirrel-language, he dived back into his hole. He was hardly out of sight when the nut hatch was tapping again at his door. Once more the squirrel rushed out chattering and sputtering. Once more the nuthatch was not there. Then he tried chasing the bird around the limb, but there was nothing in that. The nuthatch could turn in half the tim~and space, and moreover did not hay to be afraid of falling, for drop of fifty feet to frozen ground is no joke even for a red squirrel The irritating thing about the nuthatch was that, no matter how hard the squirrel chased him, he never stopped tapping away at the branch, feeding even as he ran. Finally MT. Squir- rel went back to his house and stay ed there while the nuthatch tapped in triumph all around his hole, al- though muffled chatterings from within expressed the squirrels un- vanished opinion of that nuthatch.

PEACH GROWERS NEED
PICKERS AND LABORERS
Some Show Anxiety Over Pros,
poets of Getting Hands to
Move Crop

FORT VALLEY. Ga, May 2S.-Al-
though opinions differ in many respects
with regard to the labor situation here,
Valley section Is in need of large
number of peach pickers and field
hands.
At the present time, according TO the
views of some of the largest growers
packers and shed help are to be had
in sufficient numbers. but many more
will be needed, beginning next Monday.
John II. Baird, of the Hale peach
place. appeared optimistic concerning
the labor outlook and seemed to fear
that the apprehension shown by some
of the growers would cause a repeti-
ton OF the conditions in 1912, when men
and boys flocked here and could find
neither lodging or joins.
las far as the Hale peach place is
concerned" Mr.. Baird said, there is
sufficient labor"
Glenmore Greene a large grower of
this section. declared that the labor
shortage could be no worse.
-"Pickers and field hands are needed
badly this week" Mr.. Greene said,
though the number of packers arriv-
ing Saturday and Sunday can pack the
peaches of the week"
Mr.. Greene added that he believed
there would be plenty of jobs for every
body who came to this section and that
the big questions was whether or not
there would be enough laborers TO move
the crop. High-class help, he asserted,
was in sufficient numbers, but that the
shortage of field labor was alarming.
Dave G. Strother said that Fort Val
ley and the surrounding territory could
use 1000 negroes to pick peaches be-
genning next Monday.
Emmett HouSer. a Fort Valley law
yer who is very well acquainted with
the ms and outs of the peach industry,
SAYS that while talking with several
growers he gathered that there will be
sufficient labor TO take care of the
Queen of Dixie crop, which is being
moved this week. that there are enough
packers on hand. but that the great
need is pickers and field hands, which
need will become more urgent within
the next two weeks.
Others who declared that the need of
pickers and field hands was very great
were A. ]. Davis, one of the largest in
dividual growers in this section; Mayor
Harris C. Neil and ]. ID. Duke.

Our Boys in France
and Home Protection

The men on the firing line represent
the pick of our American youth. One
in four of our boys at home was sick,
rejected because of physical deficiency.
Many times the kidneys were to blame.
If we wish to prevent old age coming
on too soon, or If we want to increase
our chances for a long life, DR.. Pierce
of the Surgical Institute, Buffalo, n. Y,
says that you should drink plenty Of
water daily between meals. Then pro-
cure at your nearest drug store, Anuric
(double strength). This "An-u-ric"
drives the uric acid out and cures back
ache and rheumatism.
If we wish to keep our kidneys in ths
best condition a diet of milk and vege-
tables, with only little meat once day,
is the most suitable. Drink plenty of
pure water, take Anuric three times
day for month. Sixty cents package.
Send DIR. Pierce ten cents for trial
package "Auuric many times more
potent than lithia, eliminates uric acid
as hot water meltS sugar. A short
trial will convince you.
