WHY
Quail Refrain From Mating at
Certain Seasons

Have you ever noticed, writes con-
tributor from Arizona, that In very
dry years the quail do not mater We
live In cattle country where quail
are abundant. Last year there was
an unusually dry spring and early
summer; all the vegetation was
parched, and there was no under
growth. Usually several cOveys Of
quail nest In wild oak grove, but
last year there was not single brood
there. And the cowboys say that
where they usually would see thou
sands of young quail during the early
summer round-ups they saw only five
or six broods.
Usually the quail are all In pairs by
the LIST of April and do not travel
again In cOveys until the young birds
are almost full-grown. They make
rough nests In the underbrush or In
the cactus or the bear grass, where
they are better protected against the
snakes and the skunks, which make
away with great many eggs and baby
quail BY the first of June or earlier
you can see the little families Of from
twelve to fifteen, searching every
where for food. The proud father
marches ahead and calls lusty advice
or warning to his brood, and when
they find good feeding place he
chooses high rock or branch and
acts as lookout while the mother
shows the babies the best places to
scratch for worms or seeds. Last sum-
coyeys. The cattlemen say 1t happens
at rare intervals when the wild feed
Is scarce.-Youth's Companion.

Why Hope Is Of Value.

A man without hope Is the poorest
man alive because the lack of hope
dulls vision. 1t Is hope alone that
makes us willing to live. Man sees
nothing to urge him on to aspire to
higher levels without hope as the foun-
dalton. And where there Is no hope
there Is no endeavor. Great hopes
make great men and the man who
does not try is pronounced a failure.
Hope makes a man see the brighter
side Of life and makes him believe
that there Is pathway that leads to
greater things. When this belief Is
assured man will strive to reach the
desires of his expectations. And the
man who honestly strives for that
which he desires-there is hope for
him.-Cecelia Anthony in the Thrift
Magazine.

REFINEMENTs ADDED TO FORD.

Demand Exceeds Supply as Rush
Season Approaches

Many added conveniences and re-
finements are to be seen in the Ford
enclosed cars now being displayed by
the local authorized Ford dealers.
The interior of both the coupe and
the sedan is now finished in an at
tractive shade of walnut brown
broadcloth; and the seats are up
holstered with similar material
threaded with chalked ebony stripe.
Heavy floor rugs give an added touch
of comfort. Lifts, of special de-
sign, minimize the effort Of raising
or lowering the windows. Door
bumpers insure tighter fitting, and
new door grips, both inside and out,
add to the riders convenience.
The demand for Ford enclosed cars
has been unusually high during the
past two months. Although produc-
tion has been speeded up in the Ford
f&ctcry at Detroit, sales continue to
exceed the output, making it nee
ccssary for purchasers in many parts
