zachariah Wilcox of Carson Csty, New. wraps his eight feet, six inches of beard around his waist when he works at his carpentering job.

 But Smart Squirrel didn't gather any nuts that autumn He was too busy collecting from his customers.
 He stuck around the old hollow tree. taking toll from the nut gather CTS.
 Of course this resulted in the other squirrels having fewer nuts that win ter than before. for they had to pay to Smart Squirrel so many.
 And long toward spring, when their smaller stores gave out, they had to promise smart Squirrel three nuts for each they got from his store. When the nut shortage got still more acute he soaked 'em for four and five.
 Next fall most of the squirrels were kept busy paying back Smart Squirrel and had no time to store nuts for themselves. They began right away buying nuts from Smart Squirrel, who had lot of them. And that fall there was talk of nut shortage right from the start. Old Smart Squirrel would tell how scarce nuts were, and they were-for the other squirrels. Then he'd boost the price.

The other squirrels tried various methods to reduce the high cost of feeding their faces, including that of eating the shells, but that didn't satisfy their stomachs
 Some few radical squirrels talked of having the government take over the nut resources of the country and some wanted Smart Squirrel pinched for profiteering, but every time they threatened to do this Smart Squirrel proved there was nut shortage and hired experts to show that the only solution for the difficulty was a larger production of nuts.
 And believe us. there's got to be much larger production next year for already Smart Squirrel has I. O. us from every squirrel in eight counties, and he is thinking of putting the nuts in dainty little boxes and charging about six nuts of next years growing for each. He thinks that by making the wrapper attractive his customers won't notice the higher price.

The farmer has As acres of tomatoes.
They were coming along finely when
he discovered some weeks ago that to-
mato worms had invaded the field and
were destroying the plants
All hands-men, women and chill
dred-were drafted to wage war on
the worms, which multiplied at an APP
palling rate. As many as 1000 Of
them would be found in single morn
Ing.
The fight appeared to be hopeless,
and the farmer In despair had almost
resigned himself to the loss Of his crop
when the blackleg battalions Of his
rescuers arrived one morning.
A veritable cloud Of birds descend
ed on one corner of the field. At first
he supposed 1t merely meant more
trouble. In a short time he discovered
his mistake.
The new arrivals were after the
worms and they got them. too. The
loyal birds stayed right on the Job
for several days. A careful search Of
the field several days after they left
revealed only three Of the worms.

the birds, according to the rancher.
He Is now trucking his tomatoes in a
nearby cannery which contracted for
them. At the price fixed he will clear

there would have been neither vines
nor tomatoes left in few days, so he

Baked Eggs with Cheese for Supper.

Baked Eggs with Cheese for Supper.
The combination of eggs and cheese
makes hearty dish suitable for supper,
dinner or lunch. The folio wing recipe
Is recommended by the experimental
kitchen of the United States Department
of Agriculture:
4 eggs
l cup, or ounces, grated cheese
cup of fine, soft stale bread crumbs
IA teaspoon salt
A few grains of Cayenne pepper
Break the eggs into q buttered baking
dish or into ramekins and cook In q hot
oven until they begin to turn white
around the edge. Cover with the mix
ture of crumbs, cheese, and seasonings.
Brown in very hot oven. In preparing
this dish it is essential that the oven be
very hot or the egg will be too much
cooked by the time the cheese is brown.
To avoid this, some cooks cover the eggs
with white sauce before adding crumbs.
The food value OF the dish 10 very
close to that Of pound of beef of aver
age composition. For those who are
particularly fond Of cheese, the amount
OF cheese In this recipe may be very
much increased, thus making . much
more nourishing dish; or the amount
may be reduced 60 a. to give hardly
more than suggestion of the favor of
cheese.

The bills win be returned before

1T was decided not to return the
