Peter was listening listening with all his might. He was sitting up very etra1ght, and his long ears were turned In the direction of the strange sound. Just then 1t came again, sound as neither Peter Rabbit nor Jimmy Skunk had ever heard before. Peter's teeth began to chatter
 Wha-wha-what is it?" he whis- pered.
 T don't know. unless it is Hooty the Owl gone crazy" replied Jimmy.
 No" said Peter, it isn't Hooty the Owl. Hooty never could make such noise as that"
 Maybe it's Dippy the Loon I've heard him on the Big River and he sounds just as if he had gone crazy. replied Jimmy
 him nervously. No, it isn't Dippy the Loon, for Dippy never leaves the water, and that voice came from the Green Meadows. I wouldn't be sur prised- Peter didn't finish fol just then the strange voice sounded again, and it was nearer than before Never had the Green Meadows or ths Green Forest heard anything like it It sounded something like Hooty ths owl and Dippy the Loon and a little yelping dog all together, and there was something in the sound tha made little cold chilis run up ana down Peters backbone He crep a little closer to Jimmy Skunk

 "Poofl Any one who can run as fast as you can ought not to be afraid said Jimmy. But if you really are afraid you can come up to my house and stay while he added good naturedly.
 oh thank you, Jimmy Skunk, l believe I will come and sit on your doorstep if you don't mind,p cried Peter.
 So together they went up to Jimmy SiSunks house and sat on his door step in the moonlight and listened to the strange voice all the long night. and then when he saw Old Mother West Wind coming down from the Purple Hills in the early dawn Peter Rabbit got courage enough to start for his home in the dear old brier patch.

THE BIGGEST PICNIC
The Gloucester County Sunday Schools
Held Their Annual Get Together
At Alcyon Park July 10th

The chairman of the Gloucester
County Sunday School picnic, Mr.. S.
W. Downer, reports that arrange
ments for the annual gathering have
been completed and the indications are
that probably the biggest crowd ever
assembled will meet this year. The
interest in this picnic has been wide
spread for years and sometimes as
many as 10000 people have attended.
1t is believed there are special rea-
son why even a larger number may
attend this year.
Practically every Sunday School has
been visited in the interest of the pic
mic. The schools are enthusiastic and
determined to beat Camden County
whose picnic was held at same place,
June 10Th, with about 5000 present.
In every school young people are at
work enrolling boys and girls in the
sports. Ribbons are to be given TO ev-
cry winner and silver cups to be given
to the winning schools. The sports
program was prepared by Miss E.
Anne Amison, of the Y.W.C.A., and
Ross Musselman, of the Y.M.C.A. The
girls will have an equal number of
events with the boys, and they will be
similar. Miss Ruth Walton, E. L. Cloud
and assistants will direct the sports.
Every year competition for best at
tendance is keen. This year two hand
some silk banners will be contested for.
One will go to the school of less than
100 members having the largest per
centage of its members present. A
similar banner will go to a school OF
100 or more members for like reasons.
Harry S. Jackson, a former Glou-
cester County man, president of the
New Jersey Sunday School Associa-
ton. and Hon. Frederick A. Wallis,
Commissioner of immigration at New
York City, will be guest of honor and
take part in a monster mass meeting
at $50. Mr.. Jackson will present the
banners for best attendance, and Mr..
Wallis is expected to bring a thrilling
message to both youngsters and older
folks. Mr.. Wallis is rated as n OF
the best speakers in America, and all
together, a real treat is in store for
the people of Gloucester County.
Reports for the county have just been
completed, which show that all war
losses have been regained and the Sun
dav Schools now show the largest en-
rollment and highest efficiency ever
attained. For these reasons the big
gest and best picnic is anticipated.

the fowls is the dropping and it is
advisable to inspect them frequently
so as to be able to stop disorders be-
fore they become serious. Most dis
orders at this time are caused by
either too quick an increase in the
allowance of food or too great an in
crease in richness. This can be cor
rected by a slight reduction in rich

disappear. An abundant supply of

LAW MAY CLOSE
CHICAGO GRAIN PIT

CHICAGO. April 2s.-If proposed
legislation, radically restricting
operations on the grain exchanges
in Illinois. now being considered by
the State Legislature at Springfield.
Is passed, Chicago will cease to be
the grain market for the world. ac-
cording to statements today Of
prominent operators.
A large number of the big brok-
erage houses already have pur-
chased memberships on the Mil
waukee exchange, and plans have
been discussed for abandoning the
Chicago exchange should the pro-
posed bills become laws. One of the
plans calls for the establishment of
an entirely new exchange at Indiana
Harbor, just across the Illinois-In-
diana State line.
Charges Of overspeculation and
price depression made against grain
exchanges by farmers organizations
Aare vigorously denied in a special
report covering an investigation of
several months and submitted by
the board of directors to President
Joseph P. Grimm. of ths Chicago
Board OF Trade.
The committee recommended that
in applying the rules to eliminate
any possible evils the board disaI-
low deferred acceptance contracts
and extension of credit by commits
sion houses to clients trading for
other than hedging purposes. 1t
also advised the elimination of pri-
vate wires to towns of less than rs
oeo, except under supervision of a
board member. Strictest censorship
Of market news was also recom-
mended. :.
