Little Stories For Bedtime
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS

all his sharp teeth and ground them savagely. Little sparks of fire seemed to snap of of his eyes. There was no sign of fear in Johnny Chuck then, not the least little bit. Just in front of him the dog stopped and parked He was a little dog, Q young and foolish dog, and he was terribly ex- cited. He parked until he almost lost his breath. He didn't like the looks of Johny Chuck's sharp teeth. So he circled around Johnny, trying to get behind him. But Johnny turned as the dog circled, and always the little dog found those sharp teeth directly in front of him. He parked and parked until it seemed as if he would bark his head off
 Finally the little dog, who was young and foolish, grew tired of just dancing around and barking. .'Pooh." said he to himself Hes nothing but a Chuck" Then he stopped barking and sprang straight at Johnny with an ugly growl. Johnny Chuck was ready for him and he was quicker than the little dog. His sharp teeth closed on one of the little dogs ears and he held on while with his stout claws he scratched and tore.
 The little dog, who was young and foolish and hadn't yet learned how to fight. couldn't get hold of Johnny Chuck anywhere. Then he tried to shake Johnny Chuck off, but he couldn't because Johnny held on to that ear with his sharp teeth

TOO CHEAP


 What I cannot understand is how Della can be so ungrateful. l was certainly the best friend she had. Wry, there wasn't anything l didn't do for her, from fixing over an old dress to marketing for her unexpect- ed guests and cooking for her hus- band when she went to the countryl She used to say she didn't know what she would do without me.
 But never again." continued this badly used friend, will I be any body's Handy Andy. At first I used to feel complimented at Della's lack of ceremony with me. It showed what good friends we were to have her turn to me on the night of the party when the waitress disappointed her and say I know you'H give me a hand
 But then it seemed that every time I wanted Della she had some thing more interesting to do. You know those new friends who have been taking her about-wen, it did seem queer that much as she enter tained them. she never asked me, her chum, to meet them.
 And I woke up when she gave that last party. About a card party before that I remember her saying to me, My dear, there are 12 1 had to have and one more would have meant an other table which l couldn't fill. So I thought you wouldn't mind-we're such good friends, you always under stand And, poor, deluded fool that l was, I asked why she hadn't called me over to help her.
 But never again. After this I am one of the 12 who have to be asked. It won't flatter me a bit to be told that I'm such a good friend that one needn't be ceremonious. Being a good

friend hasn't worked out very well for me | guess I was too cheap. Now I'm going to be one of the friends that count"
 Yes. little friend. I am afraid you were too. cheap.
 We are inclined to deprecate any thing that is cheap. and it is one of the inhuman things about us humans that this applies to service, friend ship. love just IS is does to bar gain counter umbrella.
 The umbrella was very cheap, and no matter how pretty it is, how good it's quality no matter how much more it is worth than what we paid for it. we will never take good care of it as we would if we had paid a good price.
 And so with the friendship that IS always ready to serve us, that makes no conditions and no demands upon our consid deration. We get it cheap ly and all other things being equal, are not likely to cultivate it so as siduously as if it were higher priced I'm afraid it is the old story about being taken at ones own valuation.
 This does not mean that it does not pay to be real friend. genuine and sincere. It does not mean that one can go through life without giving, and be either happy or loved. It does not mean that there are not some of us who would thoroughly appreciate and revere friendship that would give itself so fully and uncondition ally.
 But the general run of us are likely to handle with more care the things for which we have to pay than those that we can get for nothing or very cheap. So it is we'll to salt our friend ship with few grains of pride and make it not too cheap.

Diversified Farming Best

that insures a cash income every week
throughout the year.
He r~otates his cash, food and feed
crops, giving due emphasis to the one
or two cash crops best suited to his
soil and climate, and most sure of
commanding a good market price, but
not neglecting those other crops which
aid directly in building up the fertility
of his soil, and which are necessary to
meet the food requirements of his
livestock.
He has spring crops, summer crops
and autumn crops-a succession of
crops that keeps him busy throughout
the productive year; and he has dairy
ing stock-feeding or some other oc-
cupation that gives him profitable en-
ployment throughout the winter
months.
Over a period of year any farmer
who follows a good diversified sys-
ten will hive a greater average an
nual income than the farmer who
risks the one-cash-crop system. The
productivity of his soil will be great
er. The value of all of his farm re-
sources will be considerably more.
And he will have the steadier peace
of mind that m from greater in

SEED POTATOES

Bozeman, Mont. Sept. l. Potato
growers should select their seed in
the patch when the vines are growing,
according to c. c. Starring, assist
ant horticulturalist for the Montana
Experiment station here.
at is poor practice to select at dig
ging time in the fall or in the spring.,
says Mr.. Starring, "for degenerate
tubers, like criminals, tell nothing of
their past and very little of their flu
ture, when they are in the bin.
Before the first frost the vines
turn yellow from maturity, potato
growers should go through their seed
potato fields an dremove all diseased
and degenerate hills and tubers which
may be attaching to them. The hills
which should be most persistently dis
carded are those whose vines appear
nearly normal but whose yielding pow
er may be Is to % per cent below nor
NAL. In some fields the proportion
of degenerate hills is large that the
should sell all his stock and buy GER
titled seed for another year.
"The most reliable indicator, even
in early stages Of degeneracy, is the
slight crinkling and reduction in the
size of the leaf, although the plant
may otherwise appear normal, and
vigorous. The leaves often tell the
story of degeneracy: In Early Tri-
umph the foliage will have a yellow
cast; in the Early Ohio group the
foliage will be light green or burned
and Drowned about the margin; in
Green Mountains and Rural New
Workers the color will be dark green"

DISCOVERY OF SHEEP
BACILLI THOUGHT NEAR

Helena, Aug. t24.-Imminent dis
covery of the bacilli which has caused
a peculiar form of pneumonia among
Montana sheep was announced today
by DR.. Hadleigh Marsh, bacteriologist
of the state livestock commission.
The disease has been fatal to more
than two per cent of the herds where
it has made its appearance, according
to DR.. Marsh. The bacteriologist de-
clared he had succeeded in isolating
two separate bacilli, one of which
he hoped would prove to be that re-
sponsible for the dreaded shoop dis
ease. Experiments are now being
made to discover a preventative, and
the isolation of the bacteria is the
first move in the battle against the
disease.

ures. The Sidney Chief notes the
fact that much of the best work
against hoppers ear be done by using
careful methods of clearing fields now
in the fall of the year. The Chief saws:
Nov is the time when grasshop-
pers are laying their eggs that will
hatch out the next seasons crop of
grasshoppers. The hoppers have in
creased remarkably this season and
unless something unusual happens be-
tween now and next year they will be
here in numbers that will do a lot
OF damage. Two things will have to
be done at this time towards control:
first, to destroy as many of the eggs
as possible by burning over all weed
patches and cleaning up fence rows
and old ground that has not been I'M
der cultivation this year. The hop
pers will not lay their eggs in clean
ground, summer fallow, or any loose
ground.
All ground should be plowed
wherever possible and all breeding
PLACES cleaned up. Do not allow this
to pass without doing
your part toward safeguarding your
crop for next year. In the spring a
general poisoning campaign must be
made, but all eggs destroyed at this
time will save time, money and crops
next spring. 1t is to the interest of
every farmer to do as much work at
time as he a possibly do, as it
is much cheaper and easier to control
situation from the present stand
point, than it is to poison the hoppers
after they have Matched out"
