The Valuable Work Done By

We were riding in the subway and
very pretty young lady got on when

how becoming it was to her.
When she wasn't looking at rs,

And you know. although we are not

"Why?- asked Bobby.
Because moles get rid Of thou

corn and grain and grass.
And then. they are regular little
ditch diggers. They run their tun-

form n perfect system OF drains so
that after heavy rain the water
can be carried down below the sur
face and not stay in pools and rot

Then again. you know, that the

little fellows by their constant bur

You've heard farmers talk lot
about top-dressing and you've seen
how they will carry dirt from one
place TO another to help their plants.
That is just what little moles do.
In their search for prey-and they
have terrific appetites-moles bring
up to the surface fresh and finely
powdered earth which serves as per-

Bobby.

ANXIOUS.
1t is proper for either to he mat
ron Of honor. II is more customary
for the brides sister to act in this
capacity.
The bride usually is presented in
marriage by her father. If she has
no father, then the brides brother
gives her in marriage. Or she may,
if she has neither father nor brother,
have her uncle. or any other male re-
lation, or an older male friend Of the
family. Or the brides mother may
present her in marriage.
The groom usually is not present
