By THORNTON W. BURGESS
Another H oney Hunter Full many store of hidden sweet Is passed by hurrying careless feet.

Buster Bear is not the only one with a sweet tooth Oh. my. no! Farmer Browns boy has sweet tooth also. He is almost if not quite as fond of honey as Buster Bear. He is so fond of it that he keeps Bees to make it for him. NOW, Bees have way of leaving their home to make a new home, leaving a few in the old home. Whenever Far mer Browns boy discovers the Bees making ready to leave their home he prepares new home for them and move them into it. But sometimes he Is not about when they decide to move, ana then. of course. they get away usually they choose hollow tree in the Green Forest for their new home.
 Farmer Browns boy had had a very busy summer. Three times he had found the Bees had stolen away while he was absent. Each time he looked over to the Green Forest and smiled.
 Some day in the fall I will have a hunt for you and bring you home" he said.
 So 1t just happened that on the very morning Buster Bear was reminded of a sunny spot in the Old Pasture Far mer Browns boy started out to hunt for his lost Bees, In his hands he car ried little box with little glass win low in the cover. In the box was a IHece of honeycomb filled with honey.
 Straight up to the Old Pasture went Farmer Browns boy. He knew just where certain late flowers were in bloom, and he felt sure that where there were flowers there would be bees He knew that those busy workers would be out searching for honey just as long as a flower could be found So. whistling merrily. he. started out to hunt for flowers.
 When he reached the old Pasture he stopped whistling. He walked as soft ly as he could. He took the greatest care not to rustic a leaf or snap a dry twig under foot 1t wasn't that he feared he might scare the Bees. Of

 Even the pure-food man says it's better and our space has gone like hot cakes," Mrs. Reid said. Ut is always better to get in on the ground floor.
 and we feel sure it means step forward lin the future of woman's work depart ment. Much inquiry is being made for fruits, preserves and jellies. and indica- tions are there need be no empty pantry shelves in Birmingham after the fair" "The class of workmanship in every de- partment indicates the value of an arf-
 nual exhibit" Mrs. Reid said. 'Other
 states are recognizing their usefulness
 and are contributing liberal amounts to-
 ward the premiums, and we hope before
 long Alabama will grasp her opportunity
 to render such assistance to her people. Our exhibits are expensive. both as to
 transportation and material consumed,
 and the fair should be encouraged by an annual appropriation.

Buster was so surprised that he all but let out great 'woof" of sur prise He stopped it just in time.
 Instantly he forgot all about Busy Bee and honey. His first thought was to steal away as quickly and silently as he could for Buster is very bashful when human folk are about. But he had seen Farmer Browns boy so often, though Farmer Browns boy didn't know

local postoffice but efforts to locate
her Sunday and Monday were unsuc-
cessful. After the appearance Of the
news item several readers who are
personally acquainted with Mrs. Lee
quickly volunteered the information
as to where she might be found. Miss
Lou Vogel, Of the Red Cross home
service, visited Mrs. Lee last,night at
her home. but copy Of the telegram
announcing the condition of her son
had just reached her.
Everett Lee enlisted in the army
last May. He had wanted to go into
the service during the war but had
beeh denied because Of his youth.
When he wished to enlist last spring,
at the age Of 10, his mother protested
because of his poor physical con-
dition. The uncle advised letting the
boySgo. saying he would be sent back
as unfit for military duty He slip

poor health most of the time since
then. His mother visited him during

found him in wheel chair. His
