EXPECT POLICY OF
SAFETY BOARD MEN
AT FRIDAYS MEET
Shoe Shine Stands and Fruit
Stands May be Barred
From Sidewalks.

Assurances were forthcoming
Thursday that the board of public
safety at its Friday nights meeting
Will be called upon TO define its
policy relative to the maintenance
of shoe shining stands upon the
sidewalks. Similar action is expect
ed against stands and displays in
front of fruit stores.
Although the official did not care
to be quoted upon the matter, Incl
dental to discussion by the safety
board, il was made sufficiently clear
that nothing would prevent definite
action. The ordinance, il was said
was constitutional. and question of
policy would be the only impeachment
that would prevent instructions 10
Chief Of Police Lane for its strict
enforcement
Hammond Reports.
Action against shoe shining stands
was forecasted by board officials
some time ago, but the question was
held up to secure the views of City
Atty. Hammond. This official it Is
said, has reported back, stating so
so far as the ordinance was con-
cerned. its enforcement was up to
officials in authority
Included in the recommendations
that will go to the safety board for
definite action will be the nuisance
of cluttering up the sidewalks
chargeable to several confectioners
and fruit store proprietors. Several
OF the worst offenders are said TO
use the entire sidewalk in front OF
their stores from window TO curb,
leaving narrow pasageway for
pedestrians in the center An order
to Chief Lane for removal Of fruit
stands and displays from the side
walks or at least their retrenchment

three feet from the window is eX-
pected 10 result from the boards

about it, which tells the story better
than any other way, so here it is:
First he stood on his ear and then on
his nose,
Then he danced on his tail and danced
on his toes.
The wood folks ran out to see the strange
sight,
Sure Jackie R. had lost his wits quite.
But Jackie Rabbit had not lost his
wits at all. He was trying to stop
cutting queer capers, but all he could
do was to cali out, "Take them off !;
take them off" and, Of course, the
wood folks did not know what he
meant.
Grandfather Rabbit, who had seen
many strange things in his time, said
they must form in ring and catch
Jackie when he came that way and
hold him until they could find out the
meaning Of 'Take them Off,"
So the next time Jackie danced to-
ward the animals they caught him
and held him fast. 'Take them off ~
cried Jackie, holding up the paws
with the mittens and then Grand
father Rabbit pulled Off the Goblin's
red mittens and down son the ground
Jackie Rabbit fell, all tired out with
capering about so fast on the snow.
When he got his breath Jackie told
them how he happened to have the
mittens and Grandfather Rabbit told
him that he should have known better
than to put on anything belonging to
magic people.
Jackie said he never again would
try on anything belonged to
those strange little people and ran off
to give the mittens to the Goblin, who
was still hunting for them.
When the Goblin saw the mittens
he danced with Joy, and besides thank
ing Jackie Rabbit the Goblin gave
him some nice green things for a
salad.
Jackie was very glad to get rid Of
the mittens, and ran home and slept
all day, he was so tired from the run
the magic mittens gave him, and now
if he sees anything red he looks, but
never touches.
I'll tell the goblins where they
are, said Jackie, .'if I see their NIT
tens; but I will never even touch
them again for any goblin ever saw

FALL PIGS HOLD OWN
IN "U' FARM TRIALS

Very few fall pigs are raised in
Minnesota and general impression
prevails in some localities that growing
them is improbable. 1t is true that
unless given good care, warm houses,
and a wide variety of feeds, fall pigs
may become unthrifty and lose money.
But feeds are cheaper in winter than
in summer and finished hogs higEer
in price when fall pigs are marketed
than when the spring crop is sold.
Facts concerning the rate of gain,
amount of feed to make 100 pounds
of pork, and the costs of grains have
been obtained from an experiment
conducted the last two years at Uni
versity Farm. Both fall and spring
farrowed pigs were fed experimentally
on the same rations in dry lots. The
feed costs and selling prices were
calulated for the five-year pre-wsr
period 1910-1914. The average weight
of the pigs at the beginning of the
feeding periods was IS pounds and at
the end 200 pounds. These were the
conclusions reached:
% Spring farrowed pigs made 100
pounds gain ON slightly less feed than
fall pigs. (2) The daily gain per pig
was practically the same during winter
or summer. (3) The cost of gains
was lower for fall pigs because of the
cheaper feed prices during the winter.
"a Fall pigs sell at higher market
price than spring pigs.
The trials were in charge of E. F.
Ferrin and M. A. McCarty of the di-
vision of animal husbandry, Univer-
sity of Minnesota.

THE GOBLIN'S MiTTENS

@NE night when Jackie Rabbit
was running through the woods
- trying to find a bit of green stuff
that might have poked out; it's top
in spite of the snow, he heard some
one crying.
Jackie ran to the spot from which
the sound seemed to come, and there
under a bush he saw little Goblin
with the tears frozen on his little red
cheeks.
''What is the matter?' asked Jackie.
"Oh, DEAR" sighed the Goblin, Il
have lost my red mittens that the
fairies gave me, and I cannot find
them, and I don't know what to do"
'Well, I will help you look for
zthem," said Jackie. II can't find any
green stuff for a salad so I may as
well be running about helping YOU"
Jackie Rabbit was "a good hunter,
and it did not take him long to spy
