Lives my soCiable white Swan:
Smooth and shining is his fleece,
Clear the pond he sails upon.

Spread their feet and sailed away.
Now to treat them well and fair,
Cookies would bring next day.
How the roguish ducks came speed

Aunts and uncles waddled up.
If good Grandpa Swan were feeding,
Then their turn would come to
sup.
For a lady with basket,
One or two they watched the spot
Then for bread or cake. to ask it
Presto. what a precious lot!
Back to Golden Gate I'll go,
Soon, to see my family;
Such great joy twill be to know
Grandpa Swan remembers me!

Edinburgh castle.
There was fighting all the time
between the English and Scotch
soldiers" said the captain. Eng
land wanted to rule Scotland. Fin
ally, after years and years of fight
ing, the British soldiers defeated
the Scotchmen. Now Scotland is
part of Great Britain and has
been loyal to the British king. In
the world war the Scotch soldiers
rushed to join the colors and many
of the wars greatest heroes were
Scotchmen."
There wasn't much time for
sightseeing by the time the air
plane had reached the city and Cap
tain Brave had found rooms in one
of the hotels for the folks. But
bright and early the next morning
they started out. The children no
ticed a gray mist which hung over
the city. Jack called it fog. The
children had seen the dense fogs
in London, but this seemed even
worse. Ladydear explained that the
fog was common in the coast of
Scotland, too. The children noticed
that everyone was prepared for
the fog They all had umbrellas
or coats.

splashed him as he slept.
The boat arrived safely at the
dock the next morning and Jack
had lot of interesting things to
tell Jane and Ladydear about the
boat, the fishermen and how they
worked.
Until afternoon the children
played with the ponies and then
they and their friends climbed into
the plane and started once more
for Scotland. They flew first to
Edinburgh. On the way to the city
Captain Brave told the children
how, up until about two hundred
years ago, Scotland was kingdom
by itself. The kings lived in
Hollywood castle in Edinburg. They
held court and called the law

A Tragic Tale of Tea

The Beetle was blind, and the Bat
was binder,
And they went to take tea with the
Scissors grinder,
The Scissors-grinder had gone away
Across the river to spend the day
But he'd tied his bell to the grape
vine swing.
The Bat and the Beetle heard it
ring,
And neither the Beetle nor Bat
could see
Why no one offered them any tea.
So, polite and patient, they arc
waiting yet
For the cup of tea they expect
to get.

Crows Disposition
Good in September

Did you know that q Crows dlS-
position Is more good natured In
September and the months that im-
mediately follow it. than in tina
summer months? In fact during
most of the summer months tha
crows are quite fussy You seq
they are trying to teach their chilly

Thompson in his story Of SilyeA

means death" \
Now, of course, they want their
children to live to good old aged
so they try to teach them an tho
best ways Of crow life, and they

all summer. Besides all this strena
uous work. the old birds are losingi
their old feathers, and getting newA
ones (the big name for this Isl
moulting), and, of course. they
know that their coats do not look
pretty any more. and so the oldi
birds become altogether cross and.
disagreeable.
But when September comes.
things are very different for the'
crow family, and they are much hap
pier By then.says Mr.. Seton Thomp-,
son. the young know their drill
and have learned sentry duty. They
have been taught guns and traps
and have taken a special course in
wire-worms and green corn. They
know that fat old farmers wife is
much less dangerous, though much
larger, than her fifteen year old
son, and they can tell the boy from
his sister. They know that an UNI
brella is not gun. and they know
the smell of gunpowder and the
south side of a hemlock tree. They
know how to worry a fox into Civ
ing up half his dinner, and also that
when the kingbird or purple mar
tin assails them. they must dash
into a bush, for it is as impossible
to fight the little pests as it Is for
the fat apple-woman to catch the
small boys who have raided her
basket"
And drill, Oh. yes, they are
wonderful soldiers. They can obey
many commands, such as: Fly.

Descend, and Forage"
All the birds admit that the crow
is the very best there

the door Of the little house. But
they started too late to put them
on. For just as Captain Brave tried
to make his way across the deck to
put one on Jack an extra big wave
threw itself over the low rail and
Jack felt himself being washed into
the sea- AS the water hit him
Jack screamed for help
And then he awoke.
For Jack had fallen asleep, as
you may have guessed. and the
storm was only dream. What

Now I'm a Health Crusader, I'm rs

Are the strong and sturdy muscles

1t takes at least ten long deep

grow,
And if | open windows wide and
breathe fresh air; you know,
1t washes out my lungs and makes
my blood a-danc-ng go,
1t used to make me very cross at

Part One

After their ride on the ponies the
children were taken to the yards
at the harbor, nearby where the
ponies were loaded onto boats to be
carried to little boys and girls in
all parts of the world. Some of the
ponies were going to circus owners
who would teach them fancy tricks
and make them perform for the lit
tie folks who go to see the circus.
While the children were at the
dock they saw some ponies led into
one of the boats tied up there.
1T really doesn't seem right to
take the ponies away from their
mothers and pony playmates and

them will be kind to Them said
Jack "If knew who was going to
buy the pony | rode today, I'd write
to him and tell him all about the
home the pony had left. about its
mother and brothers and sisters,
and tell him to be kind to it,
The pony owner thought for a
minute and then he said:
eve can arrange that easily
enough. Each pony wears a halter
when he is put on the ship. When
we go back to the house you write
note. telling all the things you
want to. Write your name and the
place where you live on it. too,
When it comes time to send the
pony you rode across the sea I'll
just tie the note on his halter.
Then if his new owner is real
nice lad like yourself he'll write
you note when he gets the pony"
Jack thought it was a splendid
Idea and wrote quite a long note
when they returned to the farm
house. In fact Ladydoar said it
was really a letter instead of just
note.
But before they returned to the
house the children watched the
men working about the fishing
boats. They were getting ready to
sail away. Captain Brave said
most of the fish caught were "her-
ring" The children didn't know
what they were, of course.
The fishermen were big, laughing
fellows, Jack noticed. They wore
big rubber boots that came up to
their pant-tops. Their hats were of
rubber too, and the children could
see great rubber coats hung up on
the sides of the little house on the
deck of the boat.
The men, tough and strong from
years of pulling away at the nets,
and handling the boxes of fish, did
not seem to mind the work at all.
When they espied Jack and Jane
and their friends one of the men
called:
"Ahoy, there, little skipper, don't |
you want to be a sailor" Then he
smiled such a winning smile that
Jack liked him right away.
II think it would be great sport
to go out with them some day and |
watch them haul in the fish" he !
said to Captain Brave.
Captain Brave looked at the pony
man with knowing smile and said.
81 guess every boy would like to be
sailor"
UNLESS you folks must go away

ARGENTINE CORN
 UPSETS GRAIN PIT
Oats Followed Footsteps of Corn, While Provisions
 Strengthened on Buying
By Associated Press

Chicago, February 6.-Apparently
 mistaken reports of big advance in
 the Argentine minimum export price
 of corn led sharp upturns today in the
 corn market here, but heavy selling ensued and the close was unsettled, 2s4 net lower to %c gain, with May SLIP to s112A and July s1.0S5s to s1.0S%.
 Oats finished Fsc off to isc advance and provisions unchanged to 500 higher
 According to gossip current in the corn pit the Argentine export minimum had been lifted to s5c a bushel from 74Bc.
 Although the trade was in general disposed to doubt that such radical change had been made, most of the houses with Argentine connections bought and this fact tended to empha- l size bullish sentiment. Reports that flour purchases for European relief would begin again next week and that packers had received large orders from ! the food administration gave furth CT temporary stimulus to buyers of corn. Weakness which prevailed was largely due to the general conviction that the S5c referred to in the Argentine gossip meant offers to ship f. o. b. during March at\that price, equivalent to $1.4O at New York.
 Oats merely followed the trend of corn
 Packers buying gave strength ta provisions.

The all-absorbing question just now
 is the lowering of prices in staple food
 stuff. The good women discuss this
 proposition over the back fence, on the
 cars and even on the way to church
 And well they may, when we stop
 and think of,the prices that have been charged all along the line. In talking to wholesale poultry man yesterday, he said the retailer did not respond to lower market that when the wholesale price went off 5c to 10c on eggs, retailers as ,, whole merely marked them down a penny or SO Especially was this true among the outlying merchants where competition was absent. The cash-and carry stores run them as leaders and the consumers take the bait well. Poultry quotations this morning are
 as follows on Morris avenue: Hens, 32hc@25c per pound; roosters, 121sc; guineas, 40c each; ducks, FPS; flyers, 35c; turkeys, 2SG29c Eggs are 40c to 45c l Creamery butter is quoted at 50c for western and 4Sc for southern. Tho
