They were going up the long branch
again, Weenty carrying little Bobby
and Mrs. Robin sitting on her shoulder
as friendly as you please. Up they
went. past the treetoad, who had gone
to sleep again, holding on to the trunk
with his great toes, and very softly
past poor, tired Robin, SC as not to
disturb his slumbers.
In the crotch Of a branch, they came
upon the nest where three more funny
little birds cuddled fast asleep. Weenty
tucked Bobby in very carefully and
Mrs. Robin put her warm brown wing
over him.
Good night, Mrs. Robin Weenty
whispered.
Good night, and thank you," Mr0
Robin replied, with a little nod of hel
head.
Weenty and Mr.. Rabbit walked ovel
the branch again that led to the win
dow ledge.

tie girl, kissing the leaves at the very
end of the branch.

Mrs. Robin pulled at a twig and
drew it near the window where Mr..
Rabbit and Weenty seized 1t and pulled
it still nearer until it touched the
window.
There, get on It," MI. Rabbit said,
while / hold it for you. Be careful,
now"
To be sure, Weenty was careful, and
she found the little branches very kind
and friendly, for they reached out
themselves for her hands and made
comfortable little crooks in themselves
for her feet.
When Weenty had walked quite to
the heart of the tree, Mr.. Rabbit
jumped from his window ledge and
landed beside her.
This is certainly a kind old tree

a kiss for being so nice" and she put

AF course, you all know that the
flag adopted by the Continental
Congress on June Ia, 1777. IS not
" of the same design as the flag that
the United States now has. The act
of adoption provided that the new flag
of the United States be of thirteen
horizontal stripes alternate red and
white, and hat the union be thirteen
white stars on a blue field. but it did
not define how many points the stars
should have, nor how they should be
arranged, nor how new ones were to
be added. On the first flag the stars
were arranged in circle, but from
the time of the Revolution the stars
and stripes in the flag have varied.
There were 13 stars during the ReVo-
luton and Is in the War of 1912,
lt~wenty-nine in the Mexican War, 33 to
.35 in the Civil War. As in the Spanish
War and AS today.

to look carefully. at all the things.
Then they were sent back into the

Tobacco Crops In Galloway
Command Prices From
25 to 80 Cents.
Now Predicted Extra Quail
ity Tobacco Bring
Good Price.
Local Buyers Not Yet Out
But Season May Open
Within Week.

Although local tobacco buyers
have not indicated that they are
ready to begin riding for the 1921
purchase of tobacco crops, yet the
season may open now any time.
Black patch growers are highly
elated over the result of some sales
conducted in Galloway County the
past week.
"A number of fine crops have sold
there at prices ranging from 25 to
80 cents for leaf, and 3 to 5 cents
for lugs, although according to To-
bacconist w. B. .Kennedy's report
for the past week this buying was
confined to spectators, who are
buying only the choicest crops, and
Mr.. Kennedy does not think that
more than 100000 pounds has been
sold altogether so far. He predicts,
however, that tobacco of extra quail
ity will command a good price
throughout the season, but just what
the demands will be remains to be
seen.
The loose floors and wagon mar.
kets in the north end of the black
patch will open next week, then
there will be better index as to
what the prices will be with the
tobacco dealers. Continuing 4Mr.
Kennedy's report says:
The market for hid. tobacco has
been quiet during 1.-THE past week
with only small volume of business,
which was made up of common to
medium leaf and lugs at prices that
have prevailed for the past several
weeks.
The weather continues favorable
for handling the new crop. We have
had a continuous stripping season
for 10 days, and we estimate that
half of the crop has been stripped
and great part of it gotten ready
for market. Just when the buyers
will become active in the country
and on the floors we cant tell, but
we look for a good deal of activity
in the market early in December.
