that is Sammy's way when he
wants to find out something that no one
will tell him. There isn't a more clever
spy in all the Green Forest. And there

Sammy made up his mind that Reddy

Sammy followed and so in little while
came to place where he could see a
heap of yellow sand in front of great
rock and back of the yellow sand an
opening in the ground.
"Ha!' said Sammy, but not aloud.
His eyes snapped joYfully. He knew
that he had found Reddy's new home.
Then he hid in a bush close by where
he could watch, for he was not vet
satisfied.
There is something here worth see

was right.

Spinacl is among the VEGETABLES par

Spinach is among the vegetables par
ticularly rich in vitamines, and for that
reason can be recommended for general
use. Spinach is a cool weather vege-

after the weather gets hot. 1t demands
very rich ground but will produce a

We Women
Fish And Husbands And wives

The trouble with platitudes max
inns and aphorisms is that they are
platitudes, maxims and sphorisms. The
complaint is made--by woman, too
that many women exchange the hook
for time lock after marriage, twist
the net into a moose and throw away
the bait. The purpose of the observa-
ton, of course, is purely theatrical
Still, there is an element of truth in
it. Some women do undergo changes
for the worse after marriage but per-
haps the fault is not altogether theirs,
A time-lock was never closed upon a
man who didn't in some measure de-
serve it.
1t is not to be doubted that some
men have been hanged or electrocuted
for crimes they did not commit. Sim
ilarly some men are prosecuted by their
wives when they, TOO, are innocent
But I have a great deal of faith in the
workings Of the law. Murder win out.
Husbands who are forcibly or pursua-
sively confined to the limits Of their
homes can easily prove that they are

for the crimes or delinquencies of
which they are suspected and perhaps
stand accuAed or convicted.

thy for the imprisoned husband. After
all, his wife is judge, jury and prose-
cutor. No man can get a fair trial be-
fore such a prejudiced tribunal. Still,
no man is. brought into court with
out a warrant and before the war
rant is issued there must be evidence
or a reasonable ground for suspicion
that a wrong has been committed in
this case that wife has been neg
lected or abused. The burden of proof
should be on the husband. A man, in
the eyes of his wife, is innocent until
proved guilty but it is up to him. to
prove 1t. The logic is Of the thing
may be all wrong but that is the way
of the married world.

KohIrabi is. one of the easiest Of
vegetables to grow, is fully equal to the
turnip in flavor, is seldom attacked by
insect pests of any kind and vet is
quite unknown to the average amateur
gardenmaker. Instead Of making a fleshy
root under the ground where maggots
can bore into it, kohlrabi makes a
round mobilize growth above the sur
face. It should be harvested when about
the size of tennis ball, as it becomes
woody and fiavorless as it natures.
Seeds can be sown Immediately and the
first crop viii be ready for the table
in few weeks, but being a quick grow
ing vegetable seeds must be sown at
short intervals all through the summer
in order to have constant supply Of

Here is new way of cutting cookies
that our grandmothers would not
have tolerated Do not roll and cut
them out in the old way, but take
the whole batch of dough, form it
into long roll, about an inch in
diamater and cut it in one-inch
slices with a sharp knife. Place them
in the pan two inches apart, fiat
terning each slice slightly with the
hand. The heat from the baking
melts the slices to the required thick
ness and the cookies are prefectly
round. This is quicker than the old
way and there are no bits of dough
left to roll again. =

 Perfect order reigns in RIO Grande. The movement in Sac Faulo Is no more than a mutiny provoked by part of the state military. police, 10 which part of the federal garrison has joined. This movement mean while, thanks to the immediate ener- getic measures taken by the federal and state governments, has been cir cumscribed to the capital Of sac Paulo without affecting the interior part of the state or other parts of the country.
 "State President Da Gampos re- sisted and, efficiently maintained his authority as such before the arrival of the federal forces sent to his aid. Today the rebels are being completely dominated by legal (federaD forces sent through Santos and over the Central Brazilian railway, @consistins of perfectly prepared cavalry, infan- try. light and heavy artillery, tanks and aviators, which have already sur very center of the city.
 Meanwhile they are not precipitat- | ing the surrender of the rebels, no, wishing to destroy the acity with artil- lery fire, which is restricted to. de. struction of the rebels barracks and food supplies.

Init League at
Last in Agreement
With the Majors

New York. Nov. 28--Tho intcrna-
tional baseball league gave up an
eight year fight against the maj or
leagues today when 1T unanimously
adopted the modified form of tho
draft similar TO the ono in operation
on the Pacific coast and American
Association Leagues last season. This
legislation was effected nj the annual
meeting of the league held here to-
day.
Under The terms of the modified
draft team may take optional play
crs and players by sales agreement
from major league teams under a
contract containing a provision that
only players SO acquired shall lie
subject TO selection in the draft. All
other players are immune from the
draft. Under the existing major
league agreement. each big league
club can send eight players to n class
IA club. which gives international
League clubs an offering Of 1913 play
ers If the maximum number was sent
to them.
The draft price was fixed ut $4,000.
Players taken by option or purcha sed
can he recalled or repurchased by the
major league club sending them to
the International League on or be-
fore September 3 Of the current sea
son. After that date the combined
major leagues can draft only one
player from each Interna tional
League club through dra wing sys-
tenn. Another important change in
the league rules calls for 154 play
ing program In 1925 instead Of the
customary 1GS games scheduled 10
open April IS.
