II TTere's a plenty of other coons
in these woods who'd be glad 10
Lnov about those turkeys. Ana
maybe they'd have the manners
to say Thank you" too. anu
with a hoarse, sneering laugh
Jasper Jay flew away.
That was enough for Fatty lie
made up his mind that he Woulu
show Jasper Jay that he was not
afraid. And he wanted a turkey
to eat, too. He said nothing TO
his mother about Jasper's news
But that very night, when the
moon came up, and the lights IN
Farmer Green's house were all out
Fa-ty Coon went stealing across
the fields.
He was not afraid, for he knew
that Farmer Green and all his
family were in their beds. And
il was so cold that Fatty felt sure
that Farmer Green's dogs would
be inside their kennels.
Fatty did not intend to make
any noise,
The turkeys We're asleep-so
Jasper Jay had told him-and he
expected to grab one of them so
swiftly and silent that the other
turkeys would never know it.
When Fatty Coon came to Farm
er Green's yard he had no trouble
at all in finding the spreading
oak. He could see the turkeys
plainly where they dozed on the
bare branches. And in less time
than it takes to tell it Fatty had
climbed the tree. on the very
lowest limb there was d row of
four plump turkeys, all sound as
leep. And Fatty reached out and
seized the nearest one. He seized
the turkey by the neck, to that
the big bird could not call out,
But Fatty was not quite quick
enough. Before he could pun her
off her perch the turkey began
to flap her wings, and she struck
the turkey next her, so that that
turkey woke up and began to COB
bier and flap her wings. Then the
next turkey on the limb woke up.
And the first thing that Fatty
Coon knew, every one of the thirty
nine turkeys that were left was
going gobble-gob-gob- -gob-gObble!
And some of them went sailing
off across the yard. One of them
lighted on top of the porch just
outside Farmer Green's window
and it seemed to Fatty that that
one made the greatest racket If
all.
Farmer GREEN'S window flew up;
and Farmer Green's voice called
spot Spot"
Fatty Coon did not wait to hear
more. He dropped the
turkey he had seized and slipped
down to the ground. And then
he ran toward the woods as fast
as he could go.
Farmer Green's dog Spot was
barking now. And Fatty wanted
to climb one of the trees by the
roadside. But he remembered the
narrow escape he had had when
the dog had treed him near the
cornfield 20 [he never stopped
=
he went nimbly up into the trees.

PASSAGE PREDICTED
FOR BILL. CREATING
J.. 6. NITRATE PLANT
Charges Are Brought in
Senate That Lobbyists Are
Working, For and Against
Measure

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Final
passage by the senate of the bill
proposing the creation of govern
ment corporation to operate the nj
trate plant at Muscle Shoals, Ala,
was predicted by it's propo-
nents after a motion had been de-
feated to recommtt the bill to the
agriculture committee. Although it
was by the narrow majority of one
vote that the advocates won, the lat
ter regarded 1t as a test of senti-
ment and claimed that additions
would even be made to their ranks.
Charges that lobbyists" were at
work for and against the bill were
made by both sides during the de-
bate. Senator Kenyon, Republican,
Iowa, declared there was a Muscle
Shoals lobby" and that washington
is crowded with lobbyists" Senator
Underwood, Democrat, Alabama, as
serted that a fertilizer lobby" was
fighting the bill, and Senator Stan
ley, Democrat, Kentucky. said "the
fertilizer trust. the Chilean trust and
the coke oven people, were opposing
the legislation.
Supporting suggestion by Sena-
tor Kenyon that the lobbyists"
should be required to register, Sem
ator Walsh, emocrat, Massachu-
sets, said recently there has been
a great increase in lobbyists"
Maybe it is because the next ad-
ministration will have a better OPP
portunity to pass legislation for spe-
cial interests" he added.
Following the vote on recommit-
tai, the senate adopted an amend
ment by Senator Smith, Democrat,
South Carolina, to give farmers
first consideration in the sale Of the
product manufactured at Muscle
Shoals, and providing that any Of it
sold to manufacturers of fertilizers
should be with the agreement that
it must be resold to farmers at rea-
sonable prcies. Senator Wadwsorth,
New York. then launch
ed another attack on the bill, from
which a debate developed that pre-
row.
The vote on the motion to recon-
NIT was 80 to 33.
Three Democrats: Gore, Oklaho-
ma; Pomerene, Ohio, and King, Utah, |
joined the Republicans in voting to |
recommit the bill. while four Repub-
leans; Gronna, North Dakota; John |
son, California;; Kellogg, Minnesota. |
and McNary, oregon, joined the
Democrats to defeat the motion.
