But when ne kept on cutting and
cutting and making big piles of the
brush some of them began to be in
dignant, and then actually became
worried. Old Jed Thumper, the gray
old Rabbit who had lived all his life
In the Old Pasture. was the first one
to become really anxious. This was
when Farmer Browns Boy cut away
one of his favorite bramb tangles.
When he began work on the next
bramble -tangle Old Jed Thumper be-
~came more than worried He became
ffris shtened.
What's he doing? What's he do
mgr old Jed Thumper kept saying
over and over to himself. Whats he
doing? What's he doing? Isn't he
going to leave me any bramble- tan
giles at all? How can | live without
bramble -tangles? It is because of
the bramble -tangles that 1 have lived
TO be old and gray. Now that / am
old and gray | need bramble- tangles
more than ever I'm not as spry as /
used to be. 1 need places close at
hand where ! can be sure of being
safe. There is nothing like a bram-
ble-tangie for safety. If no bram-
ble-tsngles are left in the Old Pas
lure I'll have to go somewhere else.
And ] don't know anywhere else to
go. What will l do? What will l do :?
What will l do?"
Now, of course, Farmer Browns
tBoy didn't know anything about this,
and he kept right on cutting away
bramble-tangles, young trees and
bushes. Day after day he worked.
Old Man Coyote began to grow anN-
ious. You know. his home was up
there in the Old Pasture. 1t was well
hidden. was that home of Old Man
Coyotes. But if the brush around it
should he cut away 1t wouldn't be
well hidden. And Farmer Browns
Boy was getting nearer and nearer to
il.
1T looks as if I will have to move"
grurnbled Old Man Coyote. Yes, sir.
1t looks as if Will have to move I'm
fond of the Old Pasture, but it won't
be good for anything if Farmer
Browns Boy keeps on. ] don't see
what's he's doing it for. I'd like to
bite him. Yes, sir. I'd like to bite
him. And all the time I've been
thinking that he was a friend"

But there came day when all those
who had lived in the Old Pasture

TODAY IN WEST VIRGINIA
By E. E. Meredith

Does West Virginia need new
constitution? If a new constitution
is needed would it be worth while
having a constitutional convention?
Would the tinkering that the politi-
clans would do with a constitution be
worth while to the taxpayers as corn
pared to the expense? These are
questions which are being talked over
the state. A new constitution would
simplify matters in state government
and make the legislatures work les;
arduous if it was worth anything at
all. But it is so different to get any,
thing of this nature done in West
Virginia that many people are scared
to try it. y

On warm and sultry summer day,

when taken in sensible manner, they
are refreshing and beneficial to the

drinks, care should be taken to avoid
any combination that may be indiges-
tible or hard to assimilate. The drink
should be consumed In slow and lei

The greatest danger present in the
use of iced drinks is the one that In

THE CHEROLET CAR

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 14-Sus-
tanned demand and growing list Of
untitled orders has caused the Chevro-
let Motor company to increase heavily
it's production schedule during Sep
TENDER.
The schedule revision involves an
increase of more than 16 pr cent
over the production program original
ly planned for September: The now
schedule calls for 53,165 motor cars
and trucks in September, a Chevrolet
record for that month and only 3,078
less than the highest production
month in the history of the company
Both day and night shifts have
been augmented to maintain the new
schedule. The company shipped H.
284 cars to dealers on Aug. 81, estab-
fishing a new record 5000 higher than
the largest previous shipment for one
day.
The company, which recently made
its -millionth car, attained during
August greater production thus far
for 1925 than the entire production of
1924.
Several factors have contributed to
the unprecedented demand accord; ~
to c. E. Dawson, assistant general
sales manager of the Chevrolet Motor
company.
"The August ! reduction of $40 to
$50 in the closed model prices to-
gether with the announcement of the
improvements on all models caused a
still further increase in the untitled
order list" said Mr.. Dawson "The
greatest demand at present appears
tc be for the Chevrolet Coach. In
creased popularity also has been
gained by the rev Utility Express
one-ton truck which has replaced the
former truck of the same name.
another factor in car demand is
the rapid economic recovery of the
south and the southwest where pur-
chasing power is now on a par with
the remainder of the country"
