REMINISCENT
OF OLDEN DAYS

pains in side and back and rheuma-

WEEKLY CROP REPORT
FROM WEATHER BUREAU

The weekly crop and weather re-
port of the Department OF Agriculture
for the week ending Tuesday was is
sued last night.
The temperature averaged from 1
degree. in the south to degrees above
normal in the central and northern
divisions. The last few days of the
week were featured by moderately
high midday temperatures.
The week was without rain of mo-
ment over most of the section. There
were moderate showers locally on the
"a and 24-heaviest occurring in the
northwestern counties and locally on
the southeast coast. The need of rain
is general
The weather during the week was
very favorable for farm work, which
was prosecuted diligently in all di-
visions The soil is rather dry on
uplands, where the need of moisture is
pressing but low lands are still in
good condition, and the termination
seed has been quite satisfactory. The
work Of planting corn continued,
and much is now above ground, look
ing well. A small acreage was planted
to cotton; and there seems a DISPOSE
ton in some sections to increase the
acreage 10 some extent. Peanuts We're
largely planted, and considerable cane.
although the bulk of the latter crop is
in the ground, and much has come up.
Oats and rye are generally in good
condition. Tomatoes recently set out
need rain; and truck generally would
be benefited. Irish potatoes have re-
covered very satisfactorily from the
effects of the frost during the early
part OF the month. There is an album
dance of citrus bloom. Strawberries
are more plentiful. Cabbage are be-
ing shipped extensively. Ranges have
improved as the result of showers.

and the Bazumpus grinned most un-
pleasant like.
Were you--were you looking for
souse, too?" asked Uncle Wiggily, feel
ing Of his ears with one paw, while
with the other-the other paw mean
he Kept tight hold of Billie's boots.
"Souse l was looking for, souse
must have and also rubber boots!'
growled the Bazumpus. Give me
those!' and most impolltely he made a
grab for Bibles boots, and with no
consideration at all whatsoever.
AS soon as the Bazumpus caught
hold Of the little squirrel boys boots
and began to pull, Uncle Wiggily held
on tighter and tighter. The Bazumpus
pulled and Uncle Wiggily held, and
then you can easily guess what hap
pened
The boots, being Of rubber and hav-
ing patches made of leaves from the
rubber plant began to stretch. Longer
and thinner they stretched out and
then Uncle Wiggily thought Of some
thing he had once seen in circus.
All of a sudden the rabbit gentleman
let go of his end of the rubber boots.
They were now stretched out like an
extra long piece of chewing gum, but
different. The rubber boots had more
snap to them.
And as soon as Uncle Wiggily let go.
Cracko! Bango! Snapo! The two loose
ends of the rubber boots snapped very
hard right into the afce of the Ba-
zumpus. knocking him down, head over
heels into a snowbank!
"Oh, what hit me? What snapped
me?' he howled, getting up and hold
ing his paw to his nose 'Oh, how badly

away he RAM
'Here!" called Uncle wiggily, laugh
ing at the bad chap. Don't you want
some souse and rubber boots
Not that kind. Oh, not that kind"
howled the Bazumpus running faster
than ever.
And then Uncle Wiggily picked up
Billie's boots, which had unstretched
themselves and were now the regular
size again. And, tucking them under
his paw, and with his souse still safely
on his ears, the bunny rabbit gentle
man hurried home.
SO this teaches US that often 1t Is
better to let go of something than to
hold on. And il the sawdust- stuffed

And II they have holes in them can't

That is very true" said the old rab-
bit gentleman. Then he set off with
Billie's rubber boots under his paw. As
the little boy squirrel had said spring
was almost at hand in Woodland, near
the Orange Ice Mountains, where the
animal folk lived. Only the other day
Johnnie had found some trailing ar
butus flowers under the snow and that
showed the cold weather to be getting
ready to go away.
Uncle Wiggily was thinking how nice
everything would be when summer
came, and he was remembering what
good times he used to have when he
was a young rabbit boy, wearing boots.
Soon he reached the cobbler shop OF
Mr., Stubtail. the nice bear gentleman,
who soon put patches from the rubber
plant leaves over the holes.
"Billie's boots will leak no longer"
said Mr.. Bushytail as he gave them
to Uncle Wiggily to take back.
The rabbit gentleman was hopping
