GEORGE E FROG

Little George Green Frog, eldest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Green Frog Of
Lily Pond, Frog Country, felt that he
was not appreciated. Ii was Il very
sad feeling. "A most sad feeling. Some
times the tears would come To Geor-
gie's frog eyes and he would blink
them away so as not to let the other
frogs see that he wanted to cry.
One day, though, one of the frogs
croaked at him:
"Whatever in the world, or in the
pond, Is the matter with you Geor-
gie2 All you do is TO NOPE all day
long. You won. join our games, you
won't have any fun, and the very
sight of you is enough to make Others
unhappy"
"Ah, g~oog-a-room, goog-a-room,"
said George, Il am not appreciated"
The other frog went off in disgust.
George" he told the other frogs,
ais getting 10 be so %conceited. He
thinks he is better than any other
creature in the pond"
The other frogs looked in Georges
direction.
Zoo bad" they said, blinking and
croaking, "but let us no bother about
him. There are many fine bugs, at
the market this morning and we must
hurry and get them before they are
all snapped up"
So George was left alone.
81 am really above the creatures
in this pond" he gurgled to himself.
That's the whole truth Of the mat
ter"
What is that you say?" asked a
voice, and looking around, George
Green Frog saw a beautiful fairy.

The local situation is at present
apparently in a slightly better con-

The figures given out indicate that
in 1920 at this time the District had
received 121,452 tons; in 1921, 120,-

The total consumption for the Dis

1922, $4,000. There is nothing. 1t
is officially declared, to indicate,
though the receipts are much lower
than the years needs. that a normal
supply Is not moving into the DIS
