CTS are raaping similar huge returns. The man with the gold pan is the one paying the trebled price. In many iii- stances he finds he cannot continue to do it. and he throws down the pan and walk, away from his property. Low grade gold properties have yielded the bulk of gold production. The bonanzas are talked of most, but the great vol tune of the yield comes from the large low grade areas. Hence the need of keeping the producer on the job who now is menaced by the burden of high costs.
 It is no dream that the gold produc- tion is hurt by the high prices. Re turnS from Iran>Vaal, the KlOndike. and other big 2oldtieIdS prove the case. In the United States the yield dropped from SlO0, 900. .0O0 in 1916 to S6S, GOO, ,OO0 last year. Similar other instances could be cited.

He whirled so fast he was dizzy
and didn't know which Snow Shoe

Every Snow Shoe Rabbit ran in

his family so that they can all run
faster than Mr.. Red Fox?"
When Jimmy Coon and Teddy Pos
sum came down out of the tree they
sat and talked to Uncle Snow Shoe
Rabbit and little Peter crawled out of
his hole and talked too.
"That is why train all my boys
and girls to dance and run. They can
easily get away from Mr.. Red Fox.
We all think it is a game we have
with Mr.. Red Fox. He laughs and we
laugh and he never catches one of
US. He comes every day to see if he
can catch US mapping. Every single
day. He likes the fun of it but hear
that he sometimes catches some of
your family Peter. You ought to take
lessons in running"
Little Peter sighed and shook his
head. Jimmy Coon patted him on the
back and said "Never mind, Peter we
will look out for you until we get
you home, and Mr.. Red Fox shall
not catch you this time"
Peter fairly shook with fright when
he thought what narrow squeeze he
had had, and he made up his mind
never again to take a nap right out
in plain sight where any enemy could
nab him.
