wonderful Stone of knowledge to
make sure that he had not lost it.
Then the thought came how nice it
would be TO tap the small White
! Stone against the larger stone that
! his eyes might be opened to more
wonderful things. No sooner had he
thought about it than his hand grasp
ed the small White Stone and he
tapped gently on the Stone of Knowl-
edge.
Instantly the scene about him
changed. The Beautiful Creature of
his desire was taking him far from
the familiar scenes of the great for
est. So suddenly that Tinker Bob
hardly knew it, he was standing on a
frozen lake of ice. On one side
there seemed to be mountains of ice
and snow, while on the other side
was a smooth plain. In the center
of this plain of ice was large hole
and out of it came a monstrous ami
NAL.
Tinker Bob spoke again to himself,
81 wonder what great beast this is?"
It came straight toward him. In it's
mouth was a large fish This, indeed,
was the strangest sight Tinker Bob
had ever seen. He was not afraid
because he knew no fear, but he was
surprised. "Hello, he cried, "who are
you? | never saw you before"
The great animal halted, dropped
the fish from his mouth and spoke,
"Woof, woof Well, who are you?
This is my kingdom. l never saw
anyone that looked like you before. -
81 am Tinker Bob, King of the
Great Forest"
This great beast was shaggy and
as white as the snow itself. The wa
ter had frozen in icicles on the long
hair about his feet. "Woof, woofv'
cried he $50 you are the King of
the Forest? ?-woof, woof, l am the
White Bear of the North. Some from
the warm lands call me the Polar
Bear"
"Woof, woof! Woof, woofw AS
Tinker Bob looked around, he saw
two white bears coming toward him.
They were only half grown bears and
little more timid than the larger
fellow. But when they say the fish
that had been dropped, they scram-
bled for it, one tumbling ever the
other, each trying to get it first.
'These are my children. We live
in a den yonder in the mountain of
snow
Tinker Rob was much interested
in the oears, tnt it was v-rg cold, so
he tapped the stone and was imme-
diately at home again in the forest.

1t was also found that due to rain the
ground being too wet and similar
causes that field work could only be
carried on for 145 out of the 210
days.

Hauver verifies this estimate, and
adds that it is a crisis which may be
reflected in an appalling reduction Of

In these days of high costs PROF.
duction is admittedly the open
sesame to normal prices. Without
labor there can be no increased prov
duction in Frederick county. All
through the winter it was hoped In
the utilization of modern facilities
and equipment would be able to over
come the handicap of labor shortage
and grow a surplus of products, that
would help to beat down local prices.
County Agent Hauver thinks this

to base an estimate it will be impos-
sible to grow surplus. Unless labor
is obtained soon 1t will mean a rec,
duction in the acreage Of fall crops.

There has been an army Of retiring

average is $50 per month. board, lodg-

In one big cardinal point the prem

seen in the decision to revise the
treaty to such an extent that Ger
many can be reasonably expected to

It may well be said that out of the

other worries besides specializing
whether two blades Of grass and two
stalks of corn will grow where one

labor.
There is a labor crisis in Frederick
county. Reports Of this shortage is
not propaganda. nor the annual
complaint that grain, vegetable and
fruit yields look lean, which the city
brethren often accuse their rural
kinsman of spreading to boost prices.
But this shortage of help is an ag-
