rec Dwellers

Long, long ago, there lived tree
dwellers.
They caught beasts, but they
did not know how to make their
weapons,
They ate roots and berries, dis.
covered fire from lightning and
learned to cook their food.
They wore animal skins and
learned TO make shelter.
They had queer names, such as
Sharp-Tooth and One-Ear
They wove baskets out of twigs
and carried food home to their
children.-Emily Watt, grade "a,

The Romans are credited with
having first introduced the culture
of the apple into England.

illary, in Seattle, Wash.
Before the war Reavis was a city
editor and Dora Deane, a Pacific
coast woman newspaper writer, was
one Of his cub reporters. When Reavis
went to war with the 41st Division
cavalry, Miss Dora became city editor.
Returning after the armistice, the
eX-city editor sought to regain the
editorial reins by marrying Miss
Deane. Finding that as Mrs. Reavis
she was the managing editor while
he became cub, Reavls forsook the
game and became Associated Press
correspondent in Seattle.
"She was pretty good as a cub re-
porter" Reavis says. But as manag-
ing editor, she is a wonder" Mrs.
Reavis continues as Dora Deane OF

ABSENT-MiNDED ALICE.
M ONN In Y D\N NLk
- ooffsoHT H NtSTtsH ktSSFIPts UNION

Alice was very absent minded
She did everything to make herself re-
member things instead Of forgetting
them, but nothing seemed to help her.
She tied a string around her finger
and a knot in her handkerchief, and
then she wondered why she had put
the string around her finger and the
knot In her handkerchief
But even more than forgetting
things she would forget even herself
at times when she should have been
thinking of herself and what she was
doing.
And because many times she had
done this she was known as Absent
Minded Alice.
Alice was never Intentionally rude.
She was never anything of the sort.
She liked people and she wanted
them to like her. Yet often she would
forget to speak to people whom she
had met before.
And her absent -mindedness had be-
come habit. She hated that little
Invisible creature called Habit. Hab-
1t had such strong clutches and was
SO powerful and made such headway
when no one was noticing.
Alice knew that Habit had a cousin
or brother-She was not quite sure
of the relationship-who was known

| as Good Habit. Good Habit made Il
easy for people who were his fol
| lowers
For example, Good Habit made II
so nice for those who were in the
habit Of keeping their rooms in or
der. He saved them so much time
They always knew where everything
was, because Good Habit had helped
| them to make it habit to be tidy
and it was simple thing to be so.
In this way Good Habit was
friend Of Alice's. Alice's toys were
always in just such a place-her dolls
house was in perfect order-her dolls
clothes were always to be found just
where she had put them. She never
forgot these things because Good
Habit had helped her In forming this
habit.
The trouble with Alice was that she
tried to be friendly with both.
Yes, Bad Habit was the one who
laughed when he was absent minded.
and who really didn't like it because
Good Habit was a friend Of hers in
some ways. Bad Habit didn't like
Good Habit to have anything to do
with his friends. Bad Habit and Good
Habit had started off with the same
ideas and the same ways-but they
had both chosen different paths after
they had been adventuring through
life only a little distance And they
had continued along their own ways
ITS so silly a thing to be-" said
Alice to herself. II have to spend a
lot more time doing things, because l
am absent minded and making up for
what I've forgotten to do. Oh dear,
I'm just not going to let that bad lit
tie Habit creature control me any
longer"
Perhaps the tiy-paper on the side
table heard\ her. Fly-paper has nev-
er been known to have ears, but in
this case Fly-paper certainly did seem
to understand In remarkable way
what was going on.
At any rate Alice had walked over
70 Ine Fly -pdptI anu, LII Trying u
see something out of the window be-
yond the Side table, she had put both
her hands on the Fly-paper.
"Oh dear, oh dear" Alice said, as
she worked and worked to get the
horrible sickness off, IF l hadn't
been absent minded / would have no
ticed that fy-paper. l simply won't
be absent minded again, ever, ever,
ever"
Without q doubt Good Habit over
heard that speech.
Alice was never absent minded
again. And whenever she spoke Of
the earlier days In which she had
been so absent minded she always
gave the Fly-paper the credit for hav-
ing cured her.
There was something about the
Fly-paper," she would laugh, 'that
stuck to the lesson 1t taught long
enough to make an impression!"

BEAN BEETLE IN GEORGIA

Gainesville, Sept. 8.-State Plant
Board and Florida Agricultural Exper-
iment Station officials are greatly
concerned over the discovery of the
Mexican bean beetle at brownsville.
Ca, not far from the Florida line.
This insect attacks beans and peas
and recently has also been found
feeding upon beggarweed and velvet
beans. 1t is a native of Mexico and
for some years has been damaging the
bean crops in New Mexico and Colo
RADIO. Last summer it was discovered
in the Birmingham section of Ala
bama and Investigations made during
the present summer show that it has
gained a firm foothold in northern
Alabama and adjoining sections of
Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina
and South Carolina, is causing a great
loss.
The infestation OF Thomasville now
covers about sixteen square miles.
Because so many members of the le-
gume family are subject to attack,
the difficulty of control by sprays un-
der field conditions, and the further
fact that the insect is strong flier,
the Florida authorities do not see
much prospect of excluding the pest
through quarantine measures.

this morning was down La cents to

changed to " lower, oats unchanged

from IS cents decline to 81 cents ad-

Increased offerings of wheat from
southwestern sources became quickly
apparent after reports arrived telling

which lack Of moisture had of late

new crop months. was bearishly af-
fected in particular and touched a
new low price record for the season.
Meanwhile, gossip about heavy Jap
anese buying failed to stimulate
values, and the market proved un-
responsive also to assertions that
Germany would obtain a respite from
cash indemnity payments. Poor de-
mand for wheat and -four at Minnea-
