THE WEATHERCOCK

THE Weathercock on top of a pole
on the barn was swinging about
as the wind blew 1t back and forth.
How tiresome you are!" said the
Cock. "Mr. Wind, did 1t ever occur
to you to blow your bothersome
breath In another directionY"
Very WE'LL" gayly laughed Mr..
Wind, that Is the way I blow, but
IL you do not like my way 1 will be

In another direction"
Before the Weathercock could reply,
Mr.. Wind hustled away and in a few
minutes his brother was there swing

That's the whole case in a nutshell.
So If somebody opens a box of
candy in your presence and PASSES it

with whom he comes In contact. Most
of the difficulties are of each indi-

rests almost entirely with the indi-

But there are times in every ones life
when he needs and deserves the COM

And it is at such time that no n

lack of f%rankness is a serious handi-

Of them and placing in
their stead these light,

The cost of doing so is
trifiing, compared with the
gain. In one of the largest
sizes - 9x12 feet - the
starting price for a grass

but what is the differ
ence between rush and
grass?"
Many thousand miles
by land and sea make
til e difference, geo
graph cslly speaking,
between the origin Of
the rush rugs from
Japan and that Of the
grass rugs made Of the
wild, thin, strong, tall
grass Of our own West
ern prairies.
The grass ones are a
100 per cent American
product.
For outside porches
they are the best kind Of
rug, and in any room in
any Summer cottage or
bungalow you may walk
into you are liable to
meet one of them doing
indoor service - they
are so light, handy and
inexpensive.

grades of grass rugs.
