Bobby Coon Becomes
Curious.
There's this about an appetite:
1t may mistake q wrong for right.

Having slept through the greater
part of the winter, Bobby Coon was
making up for lost time, now that
spring had come. He wandered about
through the Green Forest great
deal. He was curious to know what
had happened during the weeks he
had been asleep. He was still more
curious to know what was going on
then, for in the spring there is a
great deal going on in the Green
Forest. But more than all he was
concerned with his stomach. For a
short time after he had first come
out there had been little to eat, and
he had grown thin. OF course. he
had grown very, very hungry, and 1T
seemed to him that he had been
hungry ever since. So as Bobby
wandered about he was always look
ing for something to eat.
Now it happened that late one
afternoon, just before shadow-time,
Bobby chanced to be passing a GER
tain big tree. He stopped very alb
ruptly. He pricked up his ears and
nothing, yet he was sure that a
moment before he had heard some
thing.
BY the rings on my tail, am sure
/ heard baby crying, muttereo BOD
by. 81 don't know whose baby 1t
was, but 1T certainly was a baby of
some kind that I heard. l wish the
scamp would cry again. little
fresh meat would taste good for a
change. Yes. sir, little fresh meat
would taste good. Just thinking
about it makes me hungrier than
ever Ha, What's that"
That was a faint. whining cry.
There was no doubt that it was the
cry of a baby of some kind. Bobby
looked this way and looked that way.
He couldn't tell where that voice
came from. His eyes snapped with
eagerness. He kept perfectly still.
In a moment he heard that cry again.
Then another cry mingled with it.
Two" exclaimed Bobby. Now
where under the sun can those babies
be-"
The complaining little cries ceased.
Bobby sat down and waited. He
could afford to wait. He felt sure
that sooner or later they would cry
again. Sure enough, in a few mo-
ments he heard those same whining,
complaining little cries. He turned
his head suddenly and stared very
hard at the big tree close at hand.

DUBLIN. June 23.-The government
will introduce in the Dali on We'd
nesday a long delayed measure for
dealing with profiteers- Prices in the
Free State have been higher since
the war than anywhere else. This is
mainly due to rings of retailers who
sell food at enormous advances on
prices paid the producers.
The government was urged to
adopt food control and fix prices. but
, thinks the war experience proved this
to be a defective method. Under its
plan loans will be given by banks to
associations of consumers and pro-
ducerS on condition that they sell
below the usual retail prices and the
state will guarantee principal and in

llon is made in the number of drink
shops, of which there are in the Free
state l for every 200 population as
against l for every 695 in Scotland
Licensed trade has organized pow
erful opposition to the restrictions in
the bill and the government has de-
SPARED of carrying the measure as it
stands by its party majority. and has
been forced to promise to leave to a
free vote of the Dali the provision

DICTIONARIES TO AID
| SALVATION Ar N Y
BY Benefit CONCERT

Amongst those who most appreci-
ate the peace time efforts OF the Sal
walton Army are the veterans OF the
world war, who saw their war time
humane service in the mud and muck
just back of the front lines in 1918.
These former service men and Wo-
men have indicated a willingness to
give material expression to their en-
dorsement of the work of the local
corps of the Salvation Army, and to
this end the James Fitzgerald post,
American Legion, has assumed the
management of a concert to be given
in city hall auditorium on the even
ing of Thursday, June Is. as bene-
fit for the Augusta S. A. organiza-
ton.
The local legionnaires proposed and
promulgated this concert program
entirely on their own initiative ana
the total receipts will be turned over
to Ensign Lawrence for the further
ance of the work in the Augusta dis
trict The committee from the
James Fitzgerald post having the de-
tails in charge, have met with splen-
did cooperation on the part of city
officials. and it is understood that in
recognition of the very worthy cause
the legionnaires will have the use or
city hall on Thursday evening With
out paying the usual fee.
The concert program will be pre-
scented by the Lawrence family or the
Augusta corps of the Salvation Army
and will be a program replete with
musical numbers. both vocal and In
strumental, readings and pantomime.
1t was announced last evening that
Mr.. and Mrs. Kenneth f. Lee, the
shooting Stars" have also volun-
teered their services on the program
for tomorrow evening. and their ap-
pearance will be revelation OF a
series Of entirely new and novel feats
OF skill with the rife and pistol.
The members of the American Lee
gion and the auxiliary are support
ing this benefit concert to the ut
most, and it is expected that the citi-
zens of the city will do their part IN
assuring its success by buying tick
cts and attending the concert. The
Lawrence family has gained an ex-
tensive reputation for being the larg-
est family band in the United States
and their programs. which are varied
and of a particularly high class have
won the plaudits of packed houses in
the several places in this section OF
the state where they have had en-
gagements.
