time the general has spent in
Georgia. The editor knows nothing
about land speculating, so it was dire
necessity and the ambition to earn
few shekels by honest work that took
us to the Keystone state. where wages
at that time were higher than in Flor
ida but we came back just as soon
as possible.
The general says it didn't take "an
editor from Pennsylvania to tell
the people that the general is just a
private citizen like the rest of us. re-
/ gardless of the fact that he was once
governor. Sure it didn't. Every
body was aware of the fact it seems,
except the governor, who seems to
have been laboring under a misappre-
hension, and the information was Civ
en- for his benefit. An editor from
any other state could have done it
just as well.
Well pass over the nuts problem.
It's entirely too nutty for us to waste
time and space discussing it.
The governor says that he made
his proposition at a Commercial Club
meeting which was attended by the
mayor. The mayor was not present,
but there was a lady present who ap-
peared to be embarrassed by the
language the governor used, and it
was noted that she did rot attend
the next meeting.
The governor says other owners of
property along the waterfront have
never offered to clean up their prop
erty. Several of them, at least have,
and so far as known none has assum-
ed an attitude of superiority TO the
town, and it is known that number
of property owners are anxiour to
clean up their property. and that
| is the reason that nothing h a s
ever been said about them. SO far
| as is known there is not another
property owner who has kicked and
! bucked and told the town what to do.
The general says we have constitu-
ed ourselves adviser TO himself and
the city officials as to his property.
We never give advice unless it is ask
ed for We simply draw conclusions
and state facts and let them go for
what they are worth. We have found
that facts get under the skin when

THE ENEMY ROUTED
THE ADVENTURES OF TAPA
BY GERTRUDE BRYAN LEEPER

Last night sat upon my doorstep
after Mrs. Moon had called the
Mooabeams in to bed, and all was
dark and quiet.
Suddenly down the road I heard
the sound Of voices, and recognized
them to be those of Vengeance, who
is close kinsman of Ignorance and
Jealousy both the enemies of Tapa
and all, his friends. AS they came
closer / heard them say, we shall
turn upon the Kingdom the destruc-
tive bugs and worms, and in so doing
shall utterly cut off all help the Vege-
table folk can give to Tapa in max
ing stronger the bodies Of little
children out in the world
And when they had said this,
heard them laugh and open that gate
that leads into the path that runs to
Reddys house. / knew Reddy was In
danger, so ran to warn him, and as
ran, a monster. long and slender
seized me and wrapped himself
around my body. I tried to scream
out, but was held too tight, so /
must have tainted. The monster
was one called Feltia Annexa, a pow
erful beast, who, when he had torn
and wounded me. left me lying. as
he thought, dead"
When Reddy's kinsman finished
speaking, 1t was plain to see that de-
struction would be wrought that
night, for somewhere the assassin,
with his friends, was hiding,
Crowded all around, while the
wounded Vegetable man was talking,
were all the frightened little folk.
Poly Potato was weeping all the

near.
Lefty Lettuce had on nurses cap
and a bleached white gown, minis
tering to the needs of the wounded
hero, who had tried to save Reddy.
Slowly the good, red color came
back to his cheeks, and he was able
to sit up after Lefty Lettuce had CIV

Little Stories For Bedtime
JUMPER TIE FARE cANHcT
SLEEP
eY THORNTON w. sUReEos

Jumper the Hare was growing thin.
Yes, sir, he vas growing thin. lie
never had been very fat. but now he
was thinner than ever and getting
more so every day. What was max
ing him? Why, just worry. That Is
ADJUST worry. Here IL was the
beautiful springtime and plenty to
eat yet Jumper was growing thin.
Very few people have a good eppetite
when they are worried. II was that
way with Jumper. He just couldn't
eat much, and what was almost as
bad, he couldn't sleep much. Now
eating and sleeping are what make
people fat. and whoever cannot eat
and cannot sleep is bound to grow
thin. And SO Jumper grew thinner
and thinner, while almost everybody
else grew fat
1t was all because of Reddy Fox.
Reddy had made up his mind that he
was going TO catch jumper the Hare
and Jumper knew 1t. Now Jumper
can outrun Reddy Fox, and when IL
& ~e; to n race he isn't the least bit
afraid. But Reddy is sly. very sly.
He knew better than to try to catch
Jumper by chasing him. He knew
that he would have to catch him by
surprising him when he was asleep,
or by hiding close to some place
where Jumper was in the habit Of
eating.
Jumper knew that. too. OF course
he did. He knew just as well as
Reddy did that Reddy couldn't catch
him in a race. He felt perfectly safe
as long as he could see Reddy or
knew exactly where he was. But at
all other times he worried. You see,
he didn't know but Reddy might
lump out from behind any bush or
tree, and so he had to he on watch
every minute he was awake. That
was bad enough, but what was worse
was the fact that he didn't dare
sleep. OF course, he had to sleep
some, but it was in little maps from
which the merest rustic OF a leal
would waken him, all ready to jump
and run for his life. Now you know
little maps like that give very little
rest. And It is dreadful to close your
eyes wondering IL you will ever open
them again. 1t was no wonder that
Jumper grew thin.
It would not have been so bad II
Reddy had been content to hunt him
in the day time only. But he wasn't.
You know Reddy can see in the
night. And so he hunted by day OF
night, whenever he felt like 1t, and
so of course poor Jumper never knew
when he might safely sleep. He kept
to the deepest part OF the Green For
est. hoping that Reddy would not
hunt for him there. You know Reddy
is more fond Of the edge of the Green
Forest than he is Of the deep, dark.
lonesome parts. But he had made up
his mind to catch Jumper, and so now
he followed Jumper to his NEST lone
ly hiding places.
1t really was quite dreadful for
Jumper, and yet 1t would have been
worse for some others had they been
in his place. You see. bad as it was,
it wasn't quite as bad as things had
been the Great Woods where Jum-
per had lived before coming down
to the Green Forest. There he had
had to watch out every minute for
Tufty the Lynx and Howler the WOLF
and Mr.. Fisher and Mr.. wolverine,
which was, of course, much worse
than having just Reddy Fox to watch

Many such encomiums came to the

women OF the city, in just that time.
I never break an engagement with a
client, so you will excuse me then.
When Ruth had mentioned the
woman's name, the president had
glanced keely at her from under his
shaggy eyebrows. The woman In
question had long evaded him. He
had tried repeatedly to secure her
business, knowing it to be large, and
had failed. This girl had accom-
plished it.
Question after question he fired at
Ruth. Her answers were unhesitat-
ing and to the point. No unneces-
sary verbiage clothed her sentences.
Then he led her on to talk, to eX-
plain her ideas. In the department
for working girls savings he was in
tensely interested. and also saw that

it was very near the heart OF the
girl who had devised the scheme to
|. help them save.
The only weak point in her plan,
and she herself spoke of it, just as it
fitted through his mind. was the in
terest paid the girls. The amounts
deposited weekly would of necessity
be small. It would require a good
deal of work to handle the accounts
if the department were as successful
as she hoped This would also mean
added employees.
Succinctly she placed before him
all the disadvantage Of her plan,
all the difficulties. Then she told Of
what she hoped to accomplish. A
great army of investors would be the
outcome, an army of girls and women
who knew nothing Of saving. nothing
Of investment beyond the savings
bank She added:
'The very fact OF owning a certifi-
cate will make them eager to save.
The psychology of ownership, of be-
ing an investor, would be of incalcu-
liable benefit to them, an almost ire
sistible urge"
How is it that you know so much
Of human nature? You are but a
grip"
"Those things are only natural 70
us all-don't you think. Mr.. Carr?
Women especially are easily influ-
enced. Girl and women put their
money in savings banks at a small
interest. They have a little book
soon soiled, a book just like that
given every other girl. There is no
psychology in that bank book which
soon becomes Soiled from being car

KITCHEN
CONCERNING COFFEE

Prepare II
While the goodness of a cup OF
coffee depends much on the brand,
the best brand Of coffee in the world
can be spoiled in the making.
Choose the brand. then the way
you want to make the beverage and
see that the berry is ground to con-
form with the making. II you use
a percolator the coffee should be
ground medium" filter or drip
coffee pots require pulverized cof-
fee and the old fashioned pot on the
stoves" takes medium coarse
ground berry.
The most delicious. healthful and
in the end economical coffee is made
with a pulverized perry by the drip
method. There are specially con-
structed pots on the market, but you
can construct your own. A wire
strainer four or five inches in diam
eter is lined with firm. but not too
heavy, cotton cloth and placed over
an enamel or earthenware utensii TO
drip.
Be sure that the water is boiling
hard before pouring through the
grounds. Be sure that the utensil in
which the coffee drips is as hot as
boiling water can make 1t before
using.
Be sure that the filter has been
thoroughly saturated with cold wa
ter and the muslin is still wet before
putting the pulverized coffee in it.
Be sure that the coffee pot that
finally receives the finished coffee
is scalded and heated through Chill
ing spoils the infusion.
To make filtered coffee allow one
tablespoon pulverized coffee for each
measuring cupful OF boiling water.
Put the coffee in the filter and pour
THE water through. Keep hot by
surrounding the pot with boiling
water. Four cups of boiling water
and four tablespoons of pulverized
coffee will make enough beverage to
serve six persons.
This is not the rule for the very
strong after dinner coffee served in
"demitasse" cups. The water should
be freshly boiled and should not be
cooked after it reaches the hard boil
stage
The care given the coffee utensils
greatly affects the beverage. The
pot in which the drink is made must
be carefully washed and thoroughly
scalded after each using. 1t should
be perfectly dry before putting away.
This is equally true of the pot used
for serving. The filter muslin
should be emptied and rinsed out in
clear cold water. Then put in cold
sterilized water in a covered glass
until needed This sterilized water
should be changed daily.
Never dry a filter muslin. Keep
it wet and use 1t wet. The strainer
should be washed, scalded and dried
after each using.
Coffee is more popular with men
than tea or chocolate and cup of
perfect coffee with sandwich or
cruller is ideal for a hostess to offer
an evening caller.
Perfect coffee adds much to the
dessert at dinner If the sweet is cake
or pastry. One crust custardy pies
are specially good with coffee.
If you try the drip coffee the
change alone will be welcome and
make the percolated taste good again
if you go back to It.

Rowing Robin called to Sparkling

That night just after King Sun had

lay in wait for the enemy. Fearless
Firefly was there with his lantern

Then the enemy came, and at a

rage you never saw as came upon
