mon Owl would have found him.
When Benjamin awakened, late
in the afternoon. Solomon was
still sleeping. And Benjamin crept
through the door and went out in
to the gathering twilight, without
arousing Solomon.
"IH thank him the next time I
meet him." Benjamin Bat decided.
And he staggered away through

himself, where he was going. But,
of course. that was only his queer
way of flying.
When he told his friends where
he had spent the day they were
astonished.
"How did you ever dare do any
thing SO dangerous as sleeping in
Solomon Owls house 2" they all
asked him.
But Benjamin Bat only said,

SO Benjamin might escape the
storm. Why not eat Ben
jamin Bat?
AS soon as the thought occur
red to him, Solomon Owl liked it.
And he moved steaithily over to
the bed of leaves he had made for
his guest just before daybreak.
But Benjamin Bat was not
there Though Solomon looked. In
every nook and Granny of his one
room house, he did not find him.
HE must have left as soon as
it stopped raining said Solomon
Owl to himself. HE might at
least have waited ITO thank me for
giving him days lodging. It's
the last time I'll ever bring any
worthless vagabond into my house.
And l ought to have known bet
ter than to have anything to do
with a crazy person like Benjamin

Anybody can see that Solomon
Owl was displeased. But it was
not at all astonishing, if one stops
TO remember how hungry he was,
and that he had expected to en-
joy a good meal without the trou-
BILE of going away from home to
get it.
Solomon Owl went to the door
of his house and looked out. The
sun was shining so brightly that
after blinking lin his doorway for
a few MINUTES he decided that he
would go to bed again and try to
sleep until dusk. He never liked
bright days. They're so dismal"
he used to say. "Give me a good
dark night and I'm happy, for
there's nothing more cheering
than gloom"
In spite of the pangs of hunger
that gnawed inside him, Solomon
at last succeeded in falling asleep
once more. And he dreamed that
he chased Benjamin Bat three
times around Blue Mountain, and
then three times back again, in
the opposite direction. But he
never could catch him, because |
Benjamin Bat simply wouldn't fly
straight. His zigzag course was
so confusing that even in his dream
Solomon Owl grew dizzy.

grown fruit gained popularity
abroad. The quantity exported

ending June so, 1920, was double

the value in 1929 two and one-half
times as much as in 1918.
Most of this big increase in the

its production until the United
States now produces not only more
than Europe, but, in fact, more
than all the world outside of our
own country. France, Italy and the
Danubian area were the world s
chief producers of prunes until the
adapta bility of the Pacific coast soil
and climate to it's production and
curing became apparent, and the
production of prunes in California.

Word comes from Petersburg that the so-called Heron club organized at that place to support the candidacy Of Charles ?. Heron for Republican National Committeeman. is a myth. It is said that there was no such club in existence at all, and nono was ever organized. st
 It was telegraphed throughout the Territory from. Juneau that Repuh- lican Club had been organized at Petersburg and that it had unani- mously endorsed Herron's candidacy. The organization of club is denica at Petersburg, and many Petersburg people say there is very little sup. port for Nh. Heron at that place.
