"Elegancia" and 'BelIeza,' suppose.
The theme of the thing was "jaZz."
South Americans are not quite sure
what ''jazz" is. but they are crazy
about it, just the same. Every time
the word was spoken the belle from

ALL AT ONCE BE BEGAN TO DIG
WITH THOSE LITTLE BLACK
CLAWS OF HIS.
on the farm. for the early planted
things were beginning to grow in the
garden and then there were the late
things to plant. Farmer Browns Boy
was a busy boy in that garden. One
morning, when he went over to look
at the strawberry bed, he found
number of dead plants and it. didn't
lake him long to find out that the
roots had been destroyed. He dug
down and discovered a white grub,
lust such a grub as had been at work
in the lawn. He recalled then having
read that the white grub, which in
time would be a June bug or May
beetle Gt is called both names) is one
of the worst pests in strawberry bed.
Farmer Browns Boy looked the
strawberry bed over anXiously. THE
trouble is that there is TO knowing
where these pests are until the mis-
chief has been done and then no way
of getting them but by digging them
out. Oh. dear, I am afraid this bed
will be ruined this year and | had
hoped to have a lot of berries to sell.
/ guess there is no use counting on
that" said he.
lust then he heard a funny little
sound behind him and turned to look.
There, ambling along the garden path,
was Jimmy Skunk. The freckled face
of Farmer Browns Boy broke into
grin. He hastily dug out another
white grub and tossed it out in front
of Jimmy. Jimmy promptly ate it
and then, just as if he understood
what was wanted of him, which, of
course, he didn't, he turned aside into
the strawberry bed. He at least knew
that that white, fat, delicious grub
had come from that strawberry bed
and he was wise in the ways of white
srubs. He knew that where one was
more were likely to be.
So, with hardly a glance at Farmer
Browns Boy, Jimmy Skunk began to
nose about among the strawberry
plants. All at once he began to dig
with those little black paws of his and
in a moment he had another fat white
grub. OF course he was pleased with
it, but you should have seen the de.
light of Farmer Browns Boy. Farmer
Brown himself came over just then.
Meet my assistant gardener" said
Farmer Browns Boy, pointing TO
Jimmy Skunk. who already was dig

HOW 1T STARTED
Chalk It Up.
BY JEAN NEWTON.

This expression is used less fire
quently now than in pre-prohibition
days, but occasionally one still hears a
man say Chalk it up" when he means
Charge my account" 1t may be at
his club that he says this, or at his
tailor's, or it mag be debt TO a friend
that he wishes to have "chalked up"
But wherever it is that the term is
used 1t smacks of the bar and the
drinking place. And that is where il
had its origin.
For originally Chalk it up" re
ferred to the drinking score charged
against customers in old English ale
houses where their Indebtedness was
recorded in this way, glass for glass,
while the men talked or GambIed
throughout the afternoon or evening.

for, between them, they will soon get
all the grubs there
1t all came about just as Farmer
Browns Boy had hoped it would. In
a few days and nights that straw
berry bed had been cleared of white
grubs and the assistant gardener
turned his attention to other things.
Farmer Browns Boy discovered that,
where in the morning he found the
footprints of Jimmy skunk, no more
cutworms were destroying young and
tender plants. Still later he discovered
Jimmy looking over the tomato plants
and taking the big green caterpillars
that did no much damage. Again he
found him in the potato patch feastfng
on the hated potato beetle. So it was
that Jimmy Skunk became assistant
gardener to Farmer Browns Boy.

Assistant Gardener.
He lucky is. and blest. indeed.
Who to explain has never need.

Jimmy Skunk knows, for of all the
little people who live in the Green
Meadow or in the Old Pasture or in
the Green Forest, none is so generally
misunderstood by man. Sometimes
Jimmy thinks that these two-legged
creatures are just plain stupid. So
when he does meet with one who
really understands him Jimmy is de-
lighted. Both Jimmy and Mrs. Skunk
had found out by this time that they
were understood by all the Brown
family. and. as they went sand came,
they were for all the world as if they
belonged there quite as much as Black
Pussy or Bowser the Hound. They
just didn't pay any attention to
Farmer Brown or Mrs. Brown or to
Farmer Browns Boy.

Assuming that the request upon
the chamber is granted, initiation
in French currency since January

AS evidence of his intent to fight
initiation, Finance Minister Loucheur
will ask the Chamber of Deputies
to increase taxation Immediately,
thus enabling the State to refund
the advances fre IN the Bank OF
France within year.
The question of Frances external
debts is being widely discussed, put
it is learned that M. Loucheur,
while anxious to reach settlements
upon the debts to the United States
and Great Britain, will not make

he has secured passage OF ms

New York. Aug. 2s.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Improvement in the late crops ex-
cept cotton in few sections in trade
buying and in production feature the
situation as August comes to a close
On the other hand. the Compromised
anthracite coal strike with 150, 900 men
involved seems certainty, and there
are number of small industrial dis
putes in evidence Cheerful dispatches
still dominate wholesale and jobbing
trade as the autumn season ap-
proaches, the consensus Of opinion
this week being that the rapid matur-
ing Of the crop and the increased mar
keting of cotton are tending to stim-
ulate fall purchasing, although this is
still deliberate and nothing Of a hur-
ried character is seen in the buying.
Industrial activity, likewise. tends to
expand. but here also the progress
making is conservative. Both trade
and industry showing the disposition
to proceed with caution pending clear
er views of the extent to which the
probable strike of anthracite miners
and the unsettled conditions in the
bituminous industry may possibly af-
feet future buying, not only in coal
