TIME STORIES
FARMER BROWNS BOY is JUST
rINIEg
BY THoRNroN W. BURGESS

IN TIME
'ris clear to everyone with sense
That broken laws have no defense.
Farmer Browns Boy.
The little people of the Green For
est and the Green Meadows are quick
to learn. After Farmer Browns Boy
had visited the pond of Paddy the
Beaver few times, each time scat
tering delicious yellow corn in the
water along the edge. Mr. and Mrs.
Quaek understood that he was 4
friend and they no longer led the
young Quacks away in hasty flight.
In fact, they began TO watch for him.
and when he drew back little way
would swim over and eagerly hunt
for that Aattered corn while he
looked on in plain sight. He loved to
see them tip up and appear to be
standing on their heads as they
reached for the corn on the bottom
of the pond. They had become the
best of friends, had the Quacks and
Farmer Browns Boy.
Then one day Farmer Browns Boy
was little late. Walking noise
lessiy as usual, he drew near the
pond and looked eagerly for his
friends. He saw them swimming
about near the place where he was
IN the habit of feeding them and
heard several low, impatient
"quac+Ss." He smiled as he guessed
that they were waiting for him. And
then he caught sight of something
that made that smile vanish and
brought look of anger TO his face
instead.
Creeping on hands and knees, taxi
ing care not to rustic leaf and
keeping a pile of brush between him
and the Quack family, was a man.
and he carried a gun. a terrible gun.
Farmer Browns Boy knew him in
stantly. 1t was the hunter who had
tried SO hard to kill Dusky the Black
Duck over on the Big River.
Hi there" yelled Farmer Browns
Boy, running forward as fast as he
could.
At the sound of that yell up went
the QuaelS family into the air and
away over the treetops before the
hunter could shoot. He scrambled to
his feet and faced Farmer Browns
Boy, and his face was dark with rage.
Z I'm make you pay for this, you
young scampl' he roared, and rushed
at Farmer Browns boy.
Farmer Browns Boy lodged, and
his face was as angry as that of the
hunter.
Get out of here and get out of
here quick" he snapped. DO yon
see that sign over on that tree? 1t
says that no hunting is allowed here.
II you hunt where there is a sign
like that you break the law and you
know it. This is my fathers land
and it is a sanctuary for all birds
and animals. / could have you ar
rested. and If L ever find you here
again | VIII. Now take your gun and
go. and be quick about it.'
Grumblng and muttering, the
hunter picked up his gun and started
off. He had seen that sign and he
knew that Farmer Browns Boy could

of educational value is moving to
meet the youthful student Women's
clubs and parent-teacher associations
are finding still another outlet for,
their energies and are instituting
children's moving picture matinees in
school or club house or are co-operat-
ing with the theatre managers and
having special exhibitions for children
held on certain days"
Recently l read a story about how
a woman active in welfare work and
a teacher in the New York public
schools said in regard to this sub
ject," Mrs. Earle observed. THE
teacher is quoted as saying:
l can guess what picture the boys
have seen the night before by the
particular style of fighting they adopt
for the day.
aSuppoae in place of pictures por-
traying raid on a gambling house
they were to see on the screen a raid
on burning building by model fire
company; instead of warfare of man
on man they were shown the pro-
cesses by which man wars on dirt and
disease. Would not a boy whose at
tention has been held and whose am
! bition has been fired by such scenes
be made easily enrolled as soldier of
! the common good than he would as
member of the secret and dangerous
gang? Would not the young girl. too
| often little piece of vanity and self
ishness. discover a beauty IN flowers
unfolding on the screen like graceful
dancers, feel an appeal in scenes such
as those in The Children's Hour
which would awaken in her hard lit
tie heart a response to the sweeter
and finer things of life?"
1T is in the realization that the
movies can be great moral and
educational factor that parents,
schools and churches all over the
country are cooperating to have spe-
cial programs for children in all the
movie houses" said Mrs. Earle.
This seems so much wiser course,
surely. than forbidding the children to
attend the movies land forcing them
to go clandestinely) or sending them
to view pictures which must be as
boring and as incomprehensible as
grown-up books and grown-up con-
versation."

have him arrested. He had known
that that sign was there and that he
was trespassing, which means going
where he had no right to. But he
had thought that that pond was so
deep in the Green Forest that no one
would catch him there. Now that he
had been caught there was nothing
to do but to stink away, and this he
did.
With a scowl on his usually good
natured freckled face. Farmer
Browns Boy watched him out of
sight. Then he opened bag and
scattered yellow corn for Mr.. and

MORE TRUTH
THAN POETRY
YESTERDAY. TODAY AND
By JAMES j. MONTAGUE


YESTERDAY. TODAY AND
FOREVER
Where is the foolish and fatuous
crowd
That thronged to the Eden Musee,
Where pasty faced figures were
thickly endowed
With mutton-chop beard and
goatee?
Where are the come-ons who paid
their ten cents.
Who poured through the doorway
in packs,
Tho witness the effigy march of
events
Portrayed in emotionless wax?
If you happen to go to a movie to-
night
And will just look about you, you'll
find them. all right.
Where is the morbidly curious mob
To whom Mr.. Barnum purveyed2
Whose souls with delightful excite
ment would throb
At the freaks which the side show
displayed?
The folks that the lady with whis-
kers would fill
With feelings of soul stirring awe,
Whose hearts with sensations of
wonder thrill
When the two-headed chicken they
saw?
If you're wondering still, you will
find them today
In all of the show shops that front
on broadway.
Where are the farmers. that used to
flock out
fal
The cures for consumption and
measles and govt
And which they successfully sold,
Who paid out their dollars they got
for their crops
As over each other they fell
To purchase the lotions and cough
cures and drops,
That had lately been dipped from
the we'll?
You think they are still out in cata-
mount Fork?
But they're not. They are most of
them right in New York.
MAKING IT SNAPPY
It's about time to start your Christ
mas shopping-for 1925.
NOT so BAD
While you're growing about your
income tax, remember that there are
100000 more or less people in this
country who would like to be paying
one.
UNLUCKILY
Canada has 5000 superfluous buff
falo, and unless some way can be
found to convert them into whisky,
there is no demand for them on this
side of the line.

WEEK WAS UNFAVORABLE
TO cOTTON'S PROGRESS

Washington, Sept. Summary o,
weather and crop conditions for the
week ending Sept. 6, 1921:
/ High temperatures and ample sun.
shine with little or no rain, except
moderate showers in local areas pre-.
vailed during the week, which was
unfavorable for cotton. Cotton dete-
ricrated over most of the belt on &C.
count of hot weather and lack of
moisture, or insect damage. The
condition of the cotton crop remains
poor in most of the belt. Bolls are
opening very rapidly and prematurely
in many eastern and some 'northwes-
tern districts. Picking progresses rap
idly under favorable weather condi-
tons. Cotton is shedding in many
eastern states. Weevil damage con-
tinues rather extensive in most GEN.
trail and southern portions. Army
worms are doing damage in CEN
trail and southern Arkansas, extreme
Tennessee, extreme cas-
tern Oklahoma. Most other crops
need rain in the greater part of the
South, but weather was favorable for
harvesting.
