footprints were very like the foot.
prints of a Fox, and the scent the
stranger had left in those footprints
certainly was the scent of a Fox.
Reddy became more curious than ever
At the same time, he didn't at all like
the idea of having another Fox liv-
ing so near. He went off by himself
to think things over. He wanted to
think Of some way of driving that
stranger out of the Green Forest. At
first he thought in vain. How could
he drive stranger out without even
seeing the stranger? In the second
place, he couldn't think of any one
big enough to drive the stranger out
who would be willing to do it just
because he, Reddy, asked him. So, as
he lay curled up on a big rock, taking
a sun bath, he kept thinking and
thinking and thinking.
He had almost given up hope Of
thinking, of plan to drive the strang.
er out, when way off in the distance
he heard a sound which caused him to
prick up his ears. 1t was the distant
barking Of Bowser the Hound. A grin
crept over Reddy's sharp, crafty face.
He got to his feet and stood listening.
lucH iIo jumped down from the rock
on which he had been taking his sun
bath and headed straight toward
Farmer Browns doorway. He knew
that 1t was up there that he had heard
Bowser barking.
Now, Reddy is not in the habit of
entering Farmer Browns dooryard in
broad daylight. But this was a very
special occasion. He first made sure
from safe distance that there was no
danger. Then he deliberately trotted
across that dooryard in plain sight of
Bowser the Hound.
For moment Bowser Just stood
there, staring at Reddy Fox, He
looked for all the world as if he doubt
ed what his eyes saw. But it was only
Tor a moment. Then with a roar of
MS great voice, he started after
Reddy
Again Reddy grinned. He whirled
about and headed back to the Green
Forest. He just kept far enough
ahead of Bowser to leave a good fresh
scent without being worried by having
Bowser too close. Straight through
the Green Forest to the place where
he had found the tracks of the strane.
er ran Reddy. He was leading Bowser
the Hound over there in the hope that
he would follow the scent of this
stranger, and so drive him out of the
Green Forest. 1t was a mean trick.
Yes, sir, 1t was mean trick thai
Reddy proposed to play.

Francine, however. did no such
thing. She accepted the invitation
promptly, and once in the taxi she
turned to Arthur with ill-concealed
eagerness.

Arthur started violently and turned
toward her.
What's that?"
"Oh, yes, the girls are all talking
about it. He's rich broker, and has
fallen hard"
Now Francine had no intention of
telling Arthur that Minis headache
was a myth. She was much too sub
tie for that. She merely wanted TO i'm
plant a suspicion in Arthur's mind,
knowing full we'll that his imagination
would do the rest. In this she was
not mistaken. for Arthur Immediately
began to put two and two together.
Was it true that Mimi had a headache.
or had she said so merely to get rid
of him? The more he thought about
it the more convinced he was that she
had lied, and the more furious he be-
came. By the time he and F'rancine
had reached the Frivolity, he was sure
that Mimi had gone out to supper
with the other man.

Client production Of milk is the most
important factor In successful dairy
ing.
efficient production is still within
the control Of the Individual dairy
man." says John A. Arey. dairy ex-
tension specialist at the North Caro-
lima State college This factor Is NOT
dependent on group action. II all the
dairymen knew exactly what II was
costing them to produce milk. the dam
ger Of overproduction would be great
~ reduced. There would be no sur
plus at any Of our large milk mar
kets II the Improbable cows were
slaughtered.
Mr.. Arey states that the benefits
Of cOw-testing association In show
ing which cows are profitable and
which are Improbable cannot be
overestlmated. He states that strik-
ing example OF this was seen In the
case OF Virginia dalryman who was
milking 80 cows and found that he
was not making money. AS a result
OF cow-testing work. the herd was d.
yIded into two groups OF IS cows each.
The results Of the testing showed that
one group of Is cows was returning
a profit while the other Is animals
were not paying for the feed con-
sumed.
A further study OF the records
showed that these Is Improbable
cows produced 1000 pounds Of milk
for a city which already had an over
supply OF market milk and the price
OF milk produced by the Is profitable
cows was thus depressed by the poor
producers. The problem OF the
dalryman was then simple. but he did
not know about II until the records
made It clear states Mr.. Arey. The
remedy was not merely TO put In
more efficient methods Of marketing
but also to dispose of the IS unprofit-
able cows.

Of dairymen could get much more

Short Waves Solution
of Chaotic Condition

Short waves are the solution Of the
present chaotic condition confronting
broadcastlng, says Powell Crosley. Jr.
II will be a matter OF only a few
months until many powerful broad
casting stations will be transmitting
programs on short waves. Some sta
lions are at present transmitting pro
grams on the lower wave bands, In ad-
diti0n TO their normal ones, and are
being heard consistently at great dis
tances. Atmospheric disturbances do
not affect reception on the lower wave
lengths. to the same extent as found
in the present band. and 1t is unques-
tlOnably true that clearer reception on
the lower wave-lengths Is possible
when interference is encountered on
the present band.
The present Over-crowded broadcast
ing wave band Is due to the fact that
there are only SO available wave chan
nels between 21O and 546 meters. and
1t can be readily seen that an enor-
nous expansion can be made when II
Is realized that between 10 and 100
meters there are some 2.99S wave
lengths that can be used, spacing. as
has been the practice. 10 kilocycles
apart. This means that a very. large
Increase can be made in broadcasting
stations and that each station may
have an individual wave-length.
