THAT is a fine house for Blue Jay"
laughed Jack, "but how are you 60
ing to get him into it?"
Watch me-" chuckled the little old
! gray man.
The little old gray man got a high
step ladder from his little old gray
wagon, and set it up beside the pole
of the Wren Village. He mounted
the ladder until he could reach the
steeple of the church. In the steeple
were the bugs, beetles and worms
which the birds had brought to Blue
Jay as first payment on their rent.
The little old gray man brushed them
all out of the steeple into the Jail.
Blue Jay saw what the little old
gray man was doing, and raised a
fierce racket. He screamed and
about in a tree at the edge of the
clearing.
The little old gray man climbed
down the ladder, and carried the Jail
to the very tree in which Blue Jay
was dancing. There the little old man
fastened the Jail to a low limb. Then
he returned to Jack and Janet. He
pretended not to pay any attention
to Blue Jay, but he held in his fingers
a thread which led to the jail.
Blue Jay quit scolding when he
saw the new house in the tree. He
put his head on one side and peered
at it with curious eyes. Then he
hoped nearer to it. He saw his
bugs, beetles and worms inside. He
cast a sly look at the little old gray
man and at Jack and Janet. They
didn't appear to be noticing him.
With a quick fiirt, Blue Jay dived
into the door. At that instant the
little old gray man pulled the thread
The doors of the Jail swung shut,
and there was Bue Jay caught inside
with his bugs, beetles and worms.
"Ho! Ho! Ho! I guess that will
keep him out of mischief for a
while" chuckled the little old gray
man.
With Jack and Janet helping the
little old man quickly cleared away
the sticks and stone that stopped the
doors of the houses. Then the little
old gray man changed back the sign
until it read:

THE HOME
IN GOOD TASTE
BY Harold Donaldson Eberlein
Joint Author of "Practical Book Of
Interior Decoration" Etc.

Those who attempt to furnish a
room without sufficiently considering
color and its properties will more
than likely get one or the other Of
two results. If they are rash in seiZ-
ing upon any and every color that
pleases them at the moment, they
will have a jangling combination re-
sembling a rag shop gone mad. II
they are timid they will get a dreary,
depressing monotony of mud-color
and mouse-gray. If they escape either
of these results it will be by a lucky
chance.
The thing to do is to make color
work for you. 1t is a most valuable
tool and helper. But to get the re-
suits of which it is capable one must
know it's nature and how to use it,
just as any workman must know the
nature and Uses of the tools he
handles.
After finding out the nature and
powers possessed by each single
color, the next step is to combine
those colors so that they will agree
and not fght-so that they shall pro
duce the desired result that will be
pleasing and harmonious. This means
creating a color scheme. Settle up
on one prevailing color in a room for
the foundation and then, for contrast
and relief introduce other harmoni,
GUS colors in smaller quantities.

San Diego Strives
To Save Investors
From Fake Schemes

On the subject of a blue sky or.
dance" designed to protect an limo.
cent and not well informed public
from the wiles of promoters and sales
men of dubious stocks and real estate
schemes, ]. Garcia is in receipt of a
letter and clipping from a San Diego
newspaper sent by former Judge L.
l.. Burr.
Some months ago Garcia brought
the subject of protection for the pub
lie from such dubious schemes be-
fore the Chamber of Commerce and
the matter is still in committee.
Garcia's proposal was for a special
committee to investigate, report and
give publicity to investment pro
posals. At that time Judge Burr sug-
gested the passage of a county or.
dinance and there was a difference
of opinion On the subject, others
holding that the Territory had the
right TO legislate on the subject and
the county did not, among these be-
ing County Attorney Bevins who said
open to question.
The clipping sent by Judge Burr to
Garcia follows:
san DlegO city council VIII pc
asked to take immediate action
against coil sharks" who are hauling
hundreds of people north to the oil
fields daily, and taking thousands of
dollars into questionable invest
ments.
1.-THE chamber of mmer direc.
tors are today on record as ~favoring
the passage of the San Bernardino
ordinance, which drove oil sharks
from that city in "a hours.
Local banks report that many
poor people are putting their last
dollar in these oil propositions, some
of which are already under ban OF
the authorities and their promoters
in Jail.

The Daily Fun Hour
farmyard Blind

w
In this lively old country game one
of the players is counted out to be
Farmer Blind, and his eyes are ban
daged. Each of the other players is
secretly given the name of a farm
yard animal or fowl, then the players
scatter and the Farmer Blind pursues
them. When he tags any one, the
tagged player must stop running, and
obey Farmer Blind when he orders,
Call your CALI"
If a player has been named a horse,
he whinnies like a horse or makes a
sound of trotting with his tongue rap
ping the roof of his mouth. Farmer
Blind may guess at once what the
player represents. Then he orders
him to call again, and the second time
Farmer Blind must try to guess the
identity of the player, If the Farmer
fails to recognize him, the horse-play-
err is safe out" and many stand aside
until the game is over.
Farmer Blind then tries to tag an
other player, and to guess his name
after the second call. All the un-
guessed players go safe OUT. When
a Farmer Blind guesses the identity
of a player from the sounds made,
the identified player becomes Farmer
Blind for the next game, when all
the players must be renamed. Sug-
gested names for Farmyard Blind
and approximate sounds for each:
Duck (quack-quack), Donkey (hee'
haw), COW (moo-moo), sheep (baa-
baa), hen (cluck-cluck), dog (bow-
wow-wow), rooster (cock-a-doodle-
doo), etc.

tn HE little old gray man chuckled
as he brought out the house he
intended for Blue Jay. He
raised M corner of the canvas cover
ing so Jack and Janet could peek
within.
They saw a trim, solid Looking, red
building. It's door was wide open, but
its windows were barred. Jack and
Janet thought it much too fine a
house for rascal Blue Jay until they
saw the name above the door. When
they saw that name they joined in
the little gray mans chuckle. For
the name was JAIL" And Jail was
just what rascal Blue Jay deserved
for trying to steal the houses of the
birds and charge them rem in bugs

Cars were seen from Iowa, Neb.,
Wis, S. D., ILL.,, Ind, Kan, Tex, and
Missouri Two cars were seen
whose licenses had been purchased
in California. This shows that Man
kato and this part OF the state are
interesting to tourists and that
the NMankato fair must be equally
so.
The Floral hall probably could
not have accommodated all the
materials brought, If they had been
entered in time. Superintendent
of the culinary and art departments
stated that many people wished to
been closed Dozens of articles in
tended for the art department had
to be turned down and this was also
true of the canned fruits and yege-
tables.
