For two days rough Brother North
Wind had howled and shrieked and
roared through the Green Forest and
ever the Green Meadows and across
the Old Pasture and through the Old
Orchard. He had driven and whirled
fine, icy snow in binding clouds until
il sifted in at eyery nook and Granny.
For two days Rusty the Fox Squirrel
had not put SO much as his nose
outside his door. AS he had listened
to rough Brother North Wind. he had
shlvered. 1t was not with cold he had
shivered, but at the thought of how
dreadful it must be not to have such
fnew that there were those in the
Green Forest who had not. SO, as he
listened to the growl and The whine
and the snarl and the roar and the
shriek and the howl Of rough Brother
North Wind, he snugglcd a little
further down in his warm bed in
certain hollow in certain tree and
was thankful that rot even to get
food would he have to put foot out
side. You see, being thrifty, he had
stored away some Of the fattest OF
tnose fat hickory nuts in that very
hoiio" for Just such time as this.
So Rusty didn't mind the great
storre. That is to say, he didn't suf-
fer from it. He was warm and he was
dry. There were times when he was
frightened. Then he did mind. You
see there were times when rough

Rusty sat in the doorway OF his

There were 1919 trucks of all classes

PER cent OF 437. were empty. This empty
truck percentage is slightly higher than

caused by an exceptional number of
