TOO MUCH COUSIN.

Reddy Woodpecker wished that he hadn't been so pleasant to his cousin MT Flicker II was all well enough for Mir Flicker to drum upon Reddy's bit of tin on the roof of the barn so lcng as he drummed late in the morn ing But when he drummed early. as he sometimes did. it usually happened that Reddy had to wait before he could begin his own morning tattoo
 And Reddy Woodpecker didn't like that at all. In fact, it seemed to him that Mr. Flicker had quite forgotten his manners. For, if he happened 10 reach the barn first, he never stopped drumming until he had all but drum med his head off. At least, that was the way it seemed to Reddy Wood : becker.
 At such times Reddy did everything he could think of-short of actually hehting--to make MT. Flicker stop. He made sound like a tree toad, ktr-rr, ktr--r. He tapped on the shingles with his bill He flew right over Mr. F'lckers head. But 1t seemed as if MT. Flicker simply couldn't take a hint.
 T don't like 10 order him to hop away thought Reddy. Hes my cousin. Besides. he's bigger than I am; and he does look terribly fierce with that black moustache."
 Though he may have looked fierce,

PALACE THEATER

Starting next Monday matinee the Palace will present Norma Tamadge in "Smiln' Through" the greatest photoplay of modern times. Miss Talmadge has dual role in which
 her emotional powers rise to new and greater heights. You see her in the big dramatic story of beautiful young girl who falls in love with the son of man who had killed the woman her guardian was to marry. In addition to playing a dual role, Norma has two leading men, Wynd- ham Standing and Harrison Ford. Added to this is a wonderful story of love and tragedy in which Norma is at her histrionic best in the dual role of the beautiful Moonyeen of the sos and the equally charming Kathleen of modern times. The Palace presenta- tion will feature an augmented Sym- phony orchestra. several young ladies vii act as ushers, costumed in the clothes that are predominant in the early scenes of the picture, Mrs. Mary T. Crean will sing "Smilin' Through"
 during the big dramatic scene, and the price of admission will not be ad- vanced. As, an added attraction with
 "Smilin' Through" Harold Lloyd will be offered in his latest comedy. "Nev- CT Weaken" which is a guara nteed
 full three reels of screams. The Sum- day night show at the Palace will bring two excellent photoplay features that will be enjoyed by everyone. Constance Binney will be seen in

Mr. Flicker always acted in the most pleasant manner possible. And when he finished his drumming, he never failed to ask Reddy Woodpecker how he liked tt
 It was a hard question for Reddy to answer, because he didn't care in the least for Mr. Flicker's tattoos. He thought his own were far better Sometimes Reddy pretended not to hear his cousins question but started drumming at once. Sometimes he said, T believe that's an improvement over yesterdays tattoo" And at last he exclaimed one morning. You ought 10 join the Woodchuck broth ers."
 MT. Flicker was a great person to ask. Why" He asked it now.
 Because" Reddy told him, the Woodchuck brothers are famous whistlers. And they need some Bbdy to drum for them while they whistle I've often heard them chirping away by themselves over in the pasture. and. az you must know, there's no music that sounds better than drum ming, with little shrill vhistlins to go with it--unless it's Q little whist. ling, with plenty of loud drumming. =
 MT. Flicker's farorite word Why" sprang to his bill again. Why" he inquired, do you not drum for the Woodchuck mrothers yoursef?"
 Reddy Wcodpecker shook his head
 T want to practice more, before join troupe" he said.
 There" Mir. Flicker exclaimed. T like to hear people talk that way That shows that you don't think you're the best drummer in Pleasant Val ley"
 'T don't eh ?" said Rcddy
 No, you don't" said Mir Flicker And if was plain that he didn't think so, either. But before Reddv could make up his mind to quarrel with his cousin, MT. Flicker asked him another quest ion-not Why" but Where ?"
 Where" said Mr Flicker earn estly- where can one find these Woodchuck brothers?"
 "One can find them in ihc pasture unless they're in the clover patch. Just now they are probably in the pasture. for it's Q bit early in the sea son for clover"
 The pasture repeated Mir Flick CT. An, There must be ant hills in the pasture"
 "Hundreds Of them" said Reddy.
 Then I'll go 10 see the Wood chuck brothers at once MT Flicker decided So he flew off.

TURKEY PRICE BASED
ON BIRDS CONDITION

Because the price received by tur
key raisers Of North Dakota on the
Thanksgiving market depends large
ly on the condition in which they are
received on the market, turkeys that
do not grade No. might as we'll be
fed for the Christmas market, accord
ing to statement made by o. A. Bar
ton, poultry specialist at the North
Dakota Agricultural College this
week in answer to inquiries about
market poultry.
THE old birds that are to be sold
and the we'll grown young ones that
are not to be retained for breeding
purposes are best sold at Thankgiv-
ing" according to Mr.. Barton. "They
should be shipped early enough so
that they arrive at the market three
to five days before the holiday.
a little feed given to the turkeys
now may mean several cents a pound
more on the market, and more weight
for the dressed bird, says Mr.. Bar
ton. The best turkey raisers remem-
Der that turkeys are graded not only
on their f1eshed condition and size,
but largely on the condition of the
skin and the care that was used re-
moving the pin fathers and any ble-
mishes on the flesh asd skin.
"1n packing turkeys for shipment
cracker and sugar barrels have been
found most convenient" Mr.. Barton
states. 'The barrel should be clean,
however, and lined on the bottom
and on top with clean paper. The
top can then be covered with clean
cloth and securely nailed. It is al
ways wise to grade turkeys carefully
packing those OF similar grade in the
same barrel and marking the barrel
No. 1, No. 2, or culls, according to
the grade.
Turkeys are best killed by the
sticking method, then dry-picked
quickly, and thoroughly cooled for at
least "a hours before packing. The

on the neck and on the wing tips are
usually left. Be sure the birds arc

ANE DROPPED DEAD

Saturday night when it became

untimely as he had just passed the

viyed by his wife and fifteen child
rem, eight of whom are under four

caused by over-exertion in helping to
get the fire apparatus to the fire at

Mr. Carney came to Hope several
years ago and for time was en-
ployed in the Husome barber shop.
Later he opened shop of hiS own
and has continued in the business
since. OF late he has been assisted
by his son. Link" who will con-
,.nue the business.
At meeting of the Hope Volun-
teer Fire Department, of which he
was member, on Monday evening,

take care of the funeral expenses.

RENEW YOUR ALLEGIANCE!

The proclamation of President
Harding relative to the Annual Roll
Call deserves a popular response COM
mensurate with the fine strength of
his invocation to service. The Presi-
dent appeals for prompt and gen
erous response" and he impresses up
on the people the abundant reasons
why it is necessary that the strength
of the American Red Cross shall be
maintained and increased, that the
ranks of those consecrated to service
to their fellow man shall be ever in
solid formation and marching on to
the goal of world betterment.
1t is very candid and kindly pro-
clamation, closing with an acknow-
Judgement that is not only the Presi-
dents but that of all Americans: I'm
The interest OF our common humanity
and of the service which we owe to
our fellow men, invite my fellow
citizens to rsnew their allegiance to
the American Red Cross during the
period Of the Membership Roll Call.'
Can any person who ever has worn
the button bearing the Red Cross con
sistently avoid a renewal of allegiance
to the American Red Cross? The
question answers itself wi h decisive
! negative. And when the President of
the United States, who is also Presf-
dent of the American Red Cross. in
vites regeneration in the interests
of common humanity it is entitled to
unanimous and enthusiastic accept
ance. The invitation of President
Harding is as command to Roll Call
workers and warm welcome to all
the people. 1t must be answered
magnificently.-The Red Cross Cour-
Ter.

WINTER WHEAT LOST
IF NOT TERMINATED

Winter Wheat planted this fall
which failed to germinate, due to lack
of moisture, is not likely to make a
crop next year, according to DR.. H.
L. Walster. agronomist at the North
Dakota experiment station.
Reports indicate that quite few
farmers have planted small acreages
of winter wheat this year. pal lticul
arly in the Red River Valley count
ies," said Mr.. Walster today. "In
many localities, not enough mois-
ture fell to start termination. Any
fields which are not yet up probably
will not make crop next Year for
two reasons. In the first place, much
of the seed will lose its vitality dur
ing the winter, and second, plants
hat are produced hru spring gtrmin-
alton of the seed will not send up
stalks and produce heads.
"The future of the winter rye crop
is problematical, but conditions are
against 1t in many places. In many
cases not sufficient moisture to
start the crop unless it was
planted quite early or under except
ionally favorable conditions such as
summer fallow. This crop is defer
ent than winter wheat, however, in
that plants starting next spring will
head out during the summer A
long, cool spring, favorable to the
development of an extensive root sys-
TEN and plenty of stools, would be of
great benefit to the winter rye crop"
