Reddy Fox had called from the
corn just beyond the carrot-patch to
Mrs. Reddy and she had promptly
started in that direction. Before she
reached the carrot-patch she dis
covered Johnny Chuck and she
guessed that what Reddy wanted
was her assistance in catching
Johnny. Then, when she reached
the edge of the carrot-patch, she
discovered Jerry Muskrat and Mrs.
Muskrat. The eyes of Mrs. Reddy
sparkled. This looked gooG! 1t look
ed too good to be true. She hadn't
4 doubt that. working together, she
and Reddy would be able to get one
Of those Muskrats. an perhaps both.
Jerry MnSkrat and Mrs. Muskrat
had discovered Mrs. Reddy. They
faced her, their lips drawn back to
show their sharp teeth. But when
they faced her they we're back to
the corn where Reddy was hiding.
Johnny Chuck saw this at once. So
Johnny moved over and sat with his
back to Jerry Muskrat and Mrs.
Nuskrat. In this why he faced the
hiding place Of Reddy Fox. II they
ceuld just keep back to back they
might keep Reddy and Mrs. Reddy
~ for some time.
"Whatever you do don't run"
aaid Johnny to Jerry Muskrat and
Nys. Muskrat. ''If one Of you
should run it would be just what
Reddy and Mrs. Reddy want. You
wouldn't have chance. But II we
Ill keep back to back they are go
ing to hesitate about coming with

Johnny spoke as hopefully as he
could. He sounded a great deal
mere hopeful than he really felt.
You see, he wanted to keep up the
courage of Jerry and Mrs. Muskrat.
BY this time Reddy had come out
from the corn. He wax grinning
broadly and Mrs. Reddy was grim
ming broadly. Things were coming
just the way they wanted them.
Reddy trotted over to where Mrs.
Reddy was sitting and they put
their heads together. They were
planning how best 70 make an at
tack. When they were together that
way Johnny Chuck turned SO as to
face them. Thus all three We're fac
ing Reddy and Mrs. Reddy. But the
moment Reddy left Mrs. Reddy and
started to work around behind them
Johnny Chuck turned SO as always
to face Reddy.
Il can take care of Reddy Fox if
you two together can take care Of
Mrs. Reddy," said he to Jerry Musk
rat and Mrs. Muskrat

Mrs. Reddy suddenly made Il
fierce rush at Jerry Mushrat. She
hoped TO brighten Jerry or Mrs
Muskrat into running, but instead of
doing that they crowded a little
closer together and showed Mrs
Eeddy two sets of teeth that made
her pause abruptly. She had no dc
sire to feel those teeth.
Then Reddy rushed Johnny Chuck

rats and Johnny Chuck were once
more back to back. Then Reddy and
Mrs. Reddy tried rushing side by
side. but this time they Jared no
better than before. Johnny and the
two Muskrats met them face 10 face,
and the looks of those three sets of
teeth made caution seem the better
part of valor.
But Reddy and Mrs. Redlv were
not discouraged. They were willing
to bide their time. They knew tina.

Feminine movement and general in
crease in education may or may not
be responsible, but it is certain
that the farm barn, long the most
carefully built structure on the Amer
lean farm, today is of no more Inn
p0rtance than the house.
This emergence of the farmhouse,
for years a neglected feature on many
farms, into a carefully designed and
cared-for building, is emphasized in a
discussion of the residential value of
the modern American farm, in Farm
and Fireside Magazine. Farmers, as
well as their wives, are in many cases
realizing that the farm is capable Of
being an excellent place to live today,
and not merely a place of hardship
and work without recreation.
IAN item Of Importance" says the
magazine, SIS the residential value of
farms. This concerns the farm as a
place to live, for agriculture is today
both a business and a mode Of life"
Right along with the value of a
farm as a productive tract of ground
the prospective farm buyer today con-
sfders school, church and social facil-
tiles of the neighborhood, neighbors
and the general healthfulness for his
family, says the magazine.

Aiding Home Ownership

There is no evidence of good citi-
zenship more pronounced than home
ownership. Throughout this country
today thousands of homes are being
paid for like paying rent by the opera
lions Of these companies. 1t is esti-
mated fully 1000 homes have been
built in the city Of Charlotte, N. c.,
in the past 25 years, by building-and-

accommodating them-or have, already
done soon a nominal monthly rental
basis. They opened the only way
most of them had for owning homes

Small TouOn DlUeller's
Rules for HAPPINESS

Tale bearing and scandal monger-
ing are two Of the surest paths to un-
happiness to the person living in a
small town, in the opinion Of one
small-town woman philosopher and an
other who has spent her entire life in
such a locality.
Outlining ten recipes for happiness
In the small town, Mrs. Dorothy Wal
worth .Carman of Maplewood, N. j..
writing in the American Magazine,
considers q sense of humor the most
important requirement If the small
town dweIler is to know happiness.
"a sense of humor will keep the
little events which crowd in on a
small-town dweller from seeming
calamitous," says Mrs. Carman. "Your
day will not be completely ruined be-
cause the neighbor's dog tracked up
your newly washed porch. Humor is
more than a nice thing to have around
the house. There is ministry
about it."
Among other requirements for small
town happiness Mrs. Carman lists toll
erance, kindness, human interest, dis
erection, neighborliness, contentment,
magnanimity, modesty and interest in
work.
Bear no grudge, If you want to be
happy in small town." Mrs. Carman
warns. BE slow to take offense.
Overlook much. And when it comes
your turn to forgive, be good for
giver."
Another fortunate quality for the
small-town dweller, says Mrs. Carman,
is the possession of a hobby, which,
she believes, keeps people absorbed
and makes them forget to be touchy."
