Athletics Split Two
PHILADELPHIA.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 15-Connie Mack was frustrated in his endeavor to make 1t four wins in a TOW when the St. Louis Browns won the second game of a double e-header here today. In the first game Eddie Rommel twirled the Athletics to an 8 to l victory. Nasty who was on the hill in the second battle pitched remarkable ball, but the Browns when hits meant runs and this together with several walks, spelled de- feat to the Athletics, Vangilder pitched great ball.

You know it is one thing to pre-

raise some beautiful chicks in Jur e
from May eggs. I have a hen with
twenty-seven chicks that came of

remember that all the readers may

about lice. Watch all the hens, es-

well with a good insect powder

The Good Way

The Good Way
Thus saith the Lord, stand We
in the ways, and see, and ask
for the old paths, where is the
good way, and walk therein, and
We shall find rest for your souls.
Jeremiah 6:16.
There is the way of sensual
ity. Those who, walk in 1t take
appetite as their guide.
There is the way of avarice.
Those who follow it make haste
to get rich.
There is the way of social am
bition, the way of moral indif-
ference, the way of intellectual
pride, the way of hypocrisy, the
way of indecision.
Through all this tangle there
runs another way-the path of
faith and duty.
: Those who walk in it believe
that life has a meaning, the
fulfillment of Gods will, and a
goal, the attainment of per-
feet harmony with Him.
They try to make >the best of
themselves in soul and body by
training and discipline.
They endeavor to put their
talents to the noblest use in the
service of their fellowmen, and
to unfold their faculties to the
highest joy and power in the life
of the Spirit.
They respect their consci-
ences, and cherish their ideals.
They put forth an honest effort
to be good and to do good and
to make the world better.
They often stumble. They
sometimes fall. But, take their
life from end to end, it is
faithful attempt to walk in "the
way Of righteousness, which is
the way of peace"

STORIES
Chatterer's Painful Surprise
Greed is seldom very wise;
'Tis always open to surprise.
old Mother Nature.

Chatterer the Red Squirrel was
greedy. Chatterer was cruel He
didn't think of being cruel. In fact
he didn't think anything about it.
Cruel people often are cruel because
they do not think. Chatterer wanted
eggs to eat, and he meant to get
those eggs in any way he could. So
as he climbed up to the home of
Drummer the Woodpecl1er in the
maple tree in Farmer Browns door
yard his one thought was to get a
breakfast of those eggs that he felt
sure were in Drummer's home.
81 hope there is a lot of them, ="
thought Chatterer as he climbed.
:. 'There can't be too many to suit
me. / have chosen just the right
time, for with Drummer out of the
way it will be an easy matter either
to kill Mrs. Drummer on the nest or
to scare her away. She probably
is sitting. on those eggs, SO / will
shave to surprise and kill her before
I can get the eggs"
Chatterer was in such hurry and
so sure of himself that he wasn't
even careful. He started to put his
head in at that doorway without
first looking to see that everything
his nose appeared in that doorway,
Mrs. Drummer, who was waiting
just inside, drove that sharp, stout
bill of hers straight at Chatterer's
nose. Chatterer didn't have time to
duck. He was so taken by surprise,
and the blow of that bill hurt so,
that he actually let go his hold,
With little cry Of pain he fell
down to a branch below. There he
caught his claws in the bark and
was safe once more
1t was lucky for Chatterer that
Mrs. Drummer had missed both his
eyes. Had that bill of hers reached
one of those eyes he surely would
have lost the sight of it. AS it was,
he had been struck just above his
nose and that had hurt quite enough.
Chatterer flew into dreadful rage.
He. scrambled back up to that door
way, and oh, the dreadful threats
he made. He mentioned all kinds
of awful things he would do to Mrs.
Drummer, but all the time he took
precious good care not to get his
ldCO LOO ClOSG W IlIdL 1IlllC IOuLu
doorway. Meanwhile Mrs. Drum
mer said nothing, but waited just in
side ready to strike with that stout
bill of hers at the first opportunity.
Then Drummer came home. Long
before he reached the maple tree he
heard Chatterer's voice, and guessed
where he was. Drummer's heart
came right up in his mouth. How
he did fly! AS soon as he was near
enough he saw Chatterer, and un-
derstood what he was trying to do.
Drummer didn't hesitate second.
He headed straight for home, and
landed on the trunk Of the tree
close to Chatterer. He hit him with
his stout bill as hard as he could
drive it. Then before Chatterer
could recover from this new sur
prise Drummer took to his wings
again and few to another part of
the tree.
Chatterer now had his hands more
than full. He had more than he had
bargained for. He couldn't watch
Drummer and Mrs. Drummer at the
same time. While he was watching
one the other would take the
