Keen Ears and Quick Wits Who thinks and acts without wait Is likely not to be too late.
By THORNTON w. BURGESS

It was Shadow time and Old Man Coyote was trotting along across the Green Meadows not far from the Smiling Pool. He had just started out to hunt for his dinner and hadn't quite made up his mind Just where to look for it. He had already tried for Danny Meadow Mouse and failed to catch him. He knew that Johnny and Polly Chuck and all the little Chucks were in bed py this time. He had thought of go- ing over to the Smiling Pool after Grandfather Frog or some of his nu- merous children and grandchildren, but somehow he didn't feel like a Frog din- her. There would be time enough to come back for that if he failed to get anything better
 He knew that somewhere in the Green Forest were Thunderer the Grouse and Mrs. Grouse and a whole family of young Grouse. The trouble was he didn't know in just what part Of the Green Forest they were and 1t might take him all night to find them. or more likely still he might not find them at all. But the more he thought. about them the more he was inclined to go over there on the chance that he might stumble on them.
 So just before he reached the Smil- ing Pool he turned toward the Green Forest. He trotted along swiftly and silently. But nose and eyes and ears were wide open for any little smell or movement or sound that might lead him to dinner. It is always that way with Old Man Coyote. He never for gets for an instant what his wonderful nose and eyes and ears were given him for.
 He was nearly past the Smiling Pool when from over where the Laugh ing Brook flows into it two faint sounds reached him. They were so faint that had you or I been in his rlace we wouldn't have heard them at all. That was because he was quite distance away. One sound was faint thump and the other sound was still fainter splash
 Old Man Coyote didn't stop He simply turned and headed straight towards the place where those sounds had come from and he trotted little faster if anything You see his ears are no keener thon his wits are quick
 That thump was made by Peter Rab- bit muttered Old Man Coyote. And that splash was made by Jerry Muskrat. They were together over there and Peter saw or heard danger and warned Jerry. Probably Hootey the Owl happened along and Peter saw him"

 The meeting will be held in the court room on the third floor of the federal building. full attendance is urged by Maj Charles J. Allison, president of the society.
 Mrs Roberts left Birmingham several months ago for France, where she went to visit the grave of her son, Lieut. Mere dith Roberts. who made the supreme sac rifice for democracy While there she visited all the American cemeteries and noted the progress being made in the reburying of the American soldiers and of the return to this country of their bodies for final interment. She brings much information of interest to the mem bers of the Gold Star Society about their dead buried in Flanders.

what did happen. Old Man Coyotes quick
 wits had guessed instantly from those
 two faint sounds just what had happened over there by Jerry Muskrat's new land ing where the Laughing Brook flows into the Smiling Pond.
 ''If it was Hooty the Owl who fright ened them" continued Old Man Coyote to himself, Peter and Jerry won't be frightened long. They know that having missed them Hootey will waste no time around there, but will go elsewhere to hunt. Probably Peter hid close by the place where he thumped. Jerry Muskrat will wait while and then will come | pack shore. I'll just hide close to that place the sounds came from. I've plenty of time and can afford to be patient on the chance of getting a Rabbit of Muskrat dinner"
 So Old Man Coyote trotted on swiftly. As he drew near the rushes on the shore he moved more and more slowly until he was just creeping. And all the time he was using his wonderful nose and hls eyes and ears as only he can. Copyright, 1920. by T. w. Burgess) The next story: Jerry Muskrat Pays a Debt"

 District 9-A is made up of Irondale, Trussville and Argo, and by the pas sage of this tax this district will have s15,000 more each year for school pur- poses.
 The levying of this tax gives Jeffer- son county approximately $160,000 ad- ditional year and all of this, together w-th warrants for the next seven or eight years, which have been issued by the board of education, will be used for the construction of school buildings.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Blames the Government

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 l notice through the press that the rail- read workers are planning nation wide strike and from the manner in which these people have been treated in the matter of wages, l could not criticlse them for striking. President Wilson set a had example when he passed the buck" before the roads were returned to the private owners, and ever since those in charge of trying to settle the matter of wage increases" have constantly passed the buck in a like manner. If there is a strike the government alone will be directly responsible for the gov ernment has not kept faith with the men in this important issue and capital has been favored since the matter was first taken up at Washington.
 Very truly.

Why Teeth Discolor and Decay

You can feel on your teeth a slirny film. It is ever-present, ever-forming. It clings to the teeth, gets between the teeth, enters crevices and stays.
 The tooth brush does not end it. The ordinary dentifrice does not dissolve it. So, night and day, that film may do ceaseless damage. And most tooth troubles are now traced to it.

That film is what discolors = not the teeth. It is the basis of tartar! It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay.
 Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea Also of many other troubles, local and internal.
