Danny Watches Two Fisher.
men.
To do q thing that must be done
You'll always find more ways than one.
-Grandpa Pelican

Danny Meadow Mouse when he had
been living on the Green Meadows
near the Smiling Pool had watched
several fishermen. He had seen
Plunger the Osprey shoot down from
high up in the sky, plunge down un-
der the water and come up with a
fish in his claws. He had seen Rat
ties the Kingfisher dart down from a
tree and snatch minnow swimming
close to the surface. He had seen
Longlegs the Great Blue Heron stand
at the edge of the water motionless
a flash strike down and catch a little
fish that had come within reach.
But the fishing of the two fishermen
he watched that day far down in the
and q whole lot more exciting.
One of these fishermen was Grand
pa Pelican and the other was Darter
the Snakebird. They were unlike as
two fishermen could be in appear
ance and in the way they fshed. But
both were splendid fishermen. Yes.
Stree, both were splendid fishermen.
Danny had found an old stump
close to the water and up this he had
climbed that he might see better
For long time nothing had hap
pened. Grandpa Pelican sat on his
favorite stump. appearing to be half
asleep. Darter the Snak kebird sat on
a dead branch of a tree a short dis
tance away. but there had been moth
ing sleepy in his appearance.
Danny had almost lost patience
and had about decided that there
would be no fishing that day when
he chanced to look over to where
Darter was sitting just in time to
see him drop from his perch into the
water. He didn't go in head first as
divers do. He seemed to just drop
straight down with his head still up
He went completely under. The wa
ter was still and very clear so that
Danny could see down in it. He
caught glimpse of the swiftly NOV
ing forms OF school of fish, and
then close behind them appeared
Darter. My. how he did shoot through
the water. Instead of having his
neck stretched out at full length. il
was drawn back. Suddenly 1t slot
forward like g flash. That sharp
bill, which was like a dagger, passed
right through a fish.
At once Darter came to the sur
face. He gave a. quick toss of his
head which threw the fish he had

ESQ equals 1000 watt hours, and this
should cause the index of the dial

This is an approximate test but will
settle the question Of whether any large
error exists in the meter. To make an
accurate test requires portable watt
hour meters or other electrical appa-
ratus, which is suitable for use only
by meter inspectors.
1t is desirable for the householder to
read the meter at the time it is read
by the meter man and to keep a record
of the readings and the dates in order

JANUARY BUYING MONTH
FOR SHREWD INVESTORS

The winter months are advantage
from an investment viewpoint, the
National Association OF Real Estate
Boards points out to the general in
vestment public. During the winter
period demand for residences is
greatly lessened and persons wish
ing to sell often offer corresponding
concessions in prices and terms. jan
uary is, therefore, a month of invest
ment opportunity.
An almost unfailing advance in real
estate prices marks the arrival of
spring, men who are familiar with
seasonal fluctuations in the real es.

spear ed into the air II came down
head first straight into the open
mouth of Darter. He gulped IL
down. then started for another,
Danny turned to see what Grandpa
Pelican was doing. Grandpa Pelican
had wakened the instant Darter
dropped into the water. His keen
eyes had seen those fish. When Dan
NY looked he was flying above them.
Then he plunged into the water, with
his great bill wide open. That big
bag under his bill was spread wide.
and into it he scooped fish. He
used It like a net. Then he in his
turn tossed the fish in the air and
Gulped II down.
There vera many fish, and for
a while those two fishermen were
very busy. 1t was exciting to watch
Danny didn't know which one he ad-
mired the most, the way in which
Darter speared his fish or the way in
which Grandpa Pelican netted his
fish. They seemed equally successful
At last the frightened fish disappear
ed, and the two fishermen returned
to their perches to rest and dige:t
their catches.
