Into the barn sor their breakfast
They made a bigger noise than ever
whsn she came out with pan full
OF yellow corn.
But the eleventh chicken, the
ons with q feather as red as a ripe
cherry IN his tail. never said a
word. He only watched the pan,
and the very moment that golden
haired Gloria turned Il upside

~T don't think much o. this new

his throat when he saw little Clio

She wSs al white ~ the other
tsn chicks. Her eyes were as big
az iouypops, and they stared and
stared at the red-feGtnered chick.
Red-fe2Ehered chick began to
blush. He felt aa Il his race must
be as red as the feather in his tau.
He wondered IL he had not washed
al haa feathers clean IN the creek
that morning.

Then Gloria stopped down 70 the

''YoH HHse 10 very careful about

You may be sure that the nttIa

The King turned more and nors
purple. as he looked at the eleven
chickens.
But you said one chicken, mr.

he could not do this. Little req.

Menace of Herr MenCken

Have you read in the August issue of Smart Set'' the lucubrations of one H. L. Mencken? If you have not, make haste to secure copy and read his article, considerably printed as the last in the book, on ''The South Begins to Mutter,'' and you will un- derstand how much the South ap- preciates the vile islanders and crass ignorance exhibited by this imported scion of German SchrechIichket.
 The rodomontade in question is one that is calculated to arouse the indignation of every true Southern citizen, for that matter, every true citizen of the United States will re- sent the islanders and insults heaped upon one of its finest classes of cit izenship. This self-appointed ennis sary of the WiiheImstTasse presumes upon American eomplacence to be- smirch our institutions and our peo-
