When you buy baby-chicks. the
following facts are. we believe,
worthy of consideration: No chick
is offered for sale from this
hatchery except from hens we
have seen and approved, and are
glad to take any buyer for chicks 10
see the fox from which the eggs
came. You pick or approve the
quality before you pay for them.
We have only small hatchery. it
gets the best attention possible and
you can not buy healthier chickens.
We take 81 days to hatch them,
Tembt: never above 100. and no
chick ever came from an incubator
stronger. It's the new. idea. as the

opment goes with general physical development. So
the formula should beautiful and bralny," with an
opposite formula, "homely and dumb"
This surely is more than the homey ones can
BEAR They have always consoed themselves for their
lack of good looks by their of good minds
If homenness and dumbness synonyms, what hope
is lett except perhaps beauty of character And char
acter is not valued so highly as it used to be-
Any self-confessed homely girl however, has
perfect right to question Mr.. Wlggams conclusions.
Possibly he doesn't straight. Possibly the pretty

gentleman, when gazing at beautiful face, to believe
that there's nothing behind it.

When Roger Peckinpaugh, the

MOTOR CARS HELP RAILROADS

II motor cars are taking business from the ralI-
roads, they also giving business to the railroads.
This a generally ignored.
j. s. Marvin OF the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce gives some surprising figures. Last
year, says, 73o,UvU carloads OF automo-
plies and parts shipped on railroads. But that is
only small part OF 1t. Total automolIve 1reIgnt,
cualng 1uel, nlgnway materials, ETC., amounted to
about zo5UVUU carloads. the motor business
furnished more tnan one-fourth OF all the manu1ac-
turers traffic handled by the rail lines.
This Is certainly great deal more business than
automobiles and trucks have taken away the rail-
roads, driven to the unexpected conclusion
that the industry, instead OF hurting the rail-
road industry, is the big factors promoting
railroad prosperity.

Johnnie and Billie went on ahead
with the light, for they knew the
path back TO the hollow tree home
very we'll, indeed. Uncle Wiggily
followed and soon he was safe, snug
and warm inside. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bushytail and Grandpa and Grand
ma Lightfoot were just sitting down
to eat The squirrels nibbled nuts
and seeds from different trees. but
for Uncle Wiggily there was cab
bage, lettuce and carrot food, and
some cabbage pie.
Early the next morning Uncle
Wiggily heard Johnnie and Billie
calling to him:
"Come on out and watch US play
a camel"
"What game is it'' asked the
bunny gentleman as he hoped out
of his bed, made soft by the par
rot s green feather.
"It's game like tag" explained
Billie. "Johnnie and 1 play it every
day so we will not forget how to
be quick and nimble. 1t teaches us
how to get away from our enemies.
Now you hop toward us, Uncle
Wiggily and see what happens.
Johnnie and Billie were on the
ground, each one near tree. Their
tails were raised in the air over their
heads. Their sharp, bright eyes
watched Uncle Wiggily. The rabbit
gentleman, glad to play the game
with the squirrels, hoped toward
them. But he had taken only n few
steps when, all of sudden, Billie
and Johnnie disappeared. Quite ont
of sight they vanished. Uncle Wig

"No he HASN'T" chattered
Billie. eve arcn It lost!" added
Johnnie. "We just hid behind the
trees so you couldn't see us and we
would be safe" And that's just
what the squirrels had done. Like
flashes Of light they had jumped
from the ground, part way up the
trunk Of the trees, and, >clinging
by their paws to the bark, each one
had dartcd around so the tree trunks
were between them and Uncle
Wiggily. Next time YOU see squir.
rel watch how he does this trick.
''Ha! Hal" laughed the bunny
gentleman. ''That was pretty good
Let's try it again!' But no matter
how often he tried to play the game
Johnnie and Billie were too quick
for him. They always hid behind
) the tree trunks, where they were
safe from harm. Each day the
brothers had practiccd this game
until they were perfect in the les
son.
"Wcil, now think It's time fol

Uncle Wiggily was lost in the
Bushytail squirrel family over
Thanksgiving. He had gone out in
the forest to seek an adventure and
he had met parrot who had lost a
green feather. The parrot kindly
said the bunny gentleman could
keep the feather to sleep on, and
then the talking bird had flown off.
But Uncle Wiggily could not hop on
his path back to the squirrel house
in the hollow tree, because he did
not know the way. Then Mr.. Long
ears had seen Pickering light, like
ii fallen star, coming toward him.

Wolf, looking for mel thought the
rabbit gentleman. cit is bad enough
to be lost, but it is worse to be
found by a wolf
But Uncle Wiggily need not have
been afraid. The light flickering
through the tree became brighter,
then some jolly voices laughed and
one called:
Whoo-oo! Uncle wiggily! Where
are you'.'
Here l am was the answer,
and then Johnnie and Billie, the
two squirrel boys, scampered toward
the rabbit gentleman. They carried
Il lantern made from glass bottle,
inside which were some lightning
bugs. The bugs had been caught on
a warm, June night and nut in the
bottle, with some honey dew to cat,
and there they lived happily all
