first Of my acquaintance, az I re-
member. Next, l suppose. came the
lions at the zoo. But they were
even less friendly amiable than
Daniels lions, for they just paced
back and forth with such pitiful
impatience at the narrow confines
OF their cages: or else they slept
and forgot their woes or hungrily
bounced upon their food and tore
it to shreds. Those lions l never
liked at all; I preferred the cheer
full fat little bears, the bright-color-
ed water birds or the quaint prairie
dogs. When hons played their
parts In the gorgeousness of circus
parades, I liked them rather better.
for then you hadn't so much chance
to reflect upon their discomforts
and annoyanees. Lions ought to be
free. Ia not the lion the king of
all the beasts OF the jungle! 1t Is
impudent for man to come along
and clap him into a cage, for other
curious persons to cape at.
Then, when I began to read, /
met the Lion and the Mouse" of
Asip's Fables. There was a use
full lion, full of good intentions,
once its sympathies were appealed
to. TO be sure. this lion was not
too kindly until he himself was
caught in a net and the mouse
gnawed him a hole through the
knets and let him 60 freq, But
he turned out we'll and / always
felt sure that he would be kinder
next time.
OF course. there are many, many
other lions. that one meets when
one Is grown up; l do not mean
real. live ones. perhaps, unless one
chances to good into the wilds, but
lions in literature. You will surely
laugh some day over the lion in
"Androcles and the Lion" Mr..
Shaw's play. When you travel, you
will see that there are lions all
over the ancient signboards of Eng
iish taverns. too, as well as in coats
of-arms, on flags (take the Scottish
flag for instance. with its bright
red lions rampant on a yellow
ground). After all, lions do seem
to belong more to the British than
to other peoples; in some way, they
typify the spirit of the Empire. Its
courage and power and wisdom, the
northern kingdom which governs
lands where real lions roam.
Look out for lions of your read
Ing and travel and conversation.
See how many you can add to my
list. l found one just the other
day-a kind of one, thought you
will smile when you hear that ! re-
fer to a Pekingese dog, which came
to visit me with his mistress, These
little pets are called sometimes
Lion Dogs" for they are very like
lions in miniature. Notice the shape !
of their bodies and heads, the way |
they have of lying with their front |
paws closely together, exactly like
the position of a lion at rest.

There was an exceptionally good

Another trouble about marketing po-
tatoes ne says is that farmers have
never been brought to realize that
potatoes must be clean, graded, and
properly sacked before they will be re-
ceived. When these rules are complied
with potatoes will always bring the top
OF the market. He says that some seem
to think that it makes little if any
difference about size, so long as the
tubers are sound. This is an errono-
Gus idea. City market men will not
handle potatoes that nave not been
properly handled and they are likely
to be a dead loss unless they are prop
erly sorted.
Secretary Smith says he is going to
get in touch with farmers who desire
to grow a surplus of all kinds of pro-
duce, and see if some sort of an orga-
nization cannot be perfected that will
result in the cooperation of the grow
ers and shippers.

SECRET TARY SMITH TO
ASK CO-OPERAT T|ON Of
GROWER A \ D DEALER

Farmers living near Ardmore have
registered complaints in years past
over the lack of a local market for
their produce, and upon more than one
occasion have appealed to the busi-
ness men of the city to take steps to
relieve this condition.
Paul B. Smith, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce was discussing
this matter with a citizen of the coun-
ty, when one of Ardmore's wholesale
produce merchants came in and told
Just why the farmer Is not better taken
care of in this respect, and pointed out
that the farmer was equally to blame
with the merchant for existing condi'
tions.
T. d. Turner, the merchant, stated
to Secretary Smith that he has been
trying ever since his business was es-
tablished in Ardmore, to educate the
farmer to respond promptly to shippers
appeals when produce was called for.
This especially applies to the shipment
of potatoes, he said.
Mr.. Turner said that Slr several
years he has tried to ship potatoes
from Ardmore at profit but owing
to the fact. that farmers would not
make deliveries when called, he had
about concluded to discontinue this
branch of his business.
When loading a car of potatoes, and
car lots is the only way produce men
will ship. two days is allowed by the
railroad companies in which to get
shipment ready after this demurrage
charged upon each car and this eats
into the net profits in the shipment.
Mr.. Turner said that the average
farmer did not seem to appreciate this,
and took his own time to make deli
veries, with the result that many ship
ments that could have been made.
