raise only oats. They also had large
fields of corn and lots Of cows and
silos. We enjoyed picnic dinners

Enroute to southwest tern Iowa,
our old home, we encountered the
first rainy weather but after wait
ing some little time decided to fin
ish the last 25 miles in the mud and
the last five went in low and took
about two hours to climb the hills
at that. While waiting for the rain
to quit I met an old time school mate
who was there from California to
visit her old home but after sliding
in the ditch she decided to go on
without trying the last 80 miles in
the mud.
We visited our old homes, my

latievs and friends. The rain and
the hills left the children with rath-
er unfavorable opinion of this part
of Iowa but an unlimited supply Of
fried chicken and watermelons, a
couple Of feet long or more, finished
off with home made ice cream aided
them in changing it somewhat.
They also measured one stalk of
corn here that was Is feet, 7 inches

Peter Rabbit sat around by the
Old Stone Wall until Striped Chip

checks were stuffed So that Peter
wondered how he could possibly get
through his little round doorway.
He disappeared between two stones
and when he reappearcd, of course
he no longer had his pockets full.

"Why don't you stop and rest a

are doing 1t you might tell me some
thing about that storchouse of yours.
You know. Striped Chipmunk, I
don't want to know where it really
is. OF course it wouldn't make any
difference if | did because ! couldn't
get 10 it if wanted to. and |
wouldn't want TO if could. for there
is nothing in it that interests me.
But l would like TO know what it is

too, Striped Chipmunk why you
spend so much time sleeping. That
doesn't seem reasonable 10 me.
That doesn't seem like good selssc.
Yet | always hear you spoken of as
one OF the most sensible of all the
little people in the Green Forest"
I'm glad have such good repu-
tation,' replied Striped Chipmunk.
Il don't mind telling you, Peter,
what my storehouse is like, because
you cant get to 1t if you want 10.
