Jimmy Skunk had nothing much to
do these days. His chief interest in
life was in eating. He had grown fat
on grasshoppers. just now graSShop-
perS were not so easy to get, and Jimmy
was given to wandering about. Jimmy
is such an independent fellow that he
can wander almost where he pleases.
He doesn't feel that he must be near
home to be safe. He can curl up almost
anywhere for a nap and feel reasonably
safe. You see, he Is so very much re-
spected by all who know him that he
seldom has any worries on his mind.
The only one who really worries him
is Hooty the Great Horned Owl. That
little bag of scent that Jimmy carries
had no terrors for Hooty.
On this particular evening Jimmy had
wandered some distance from Farmer
Browns. In fact, he was over on the
next farm. He had never been there
before, and he was finding it interest
ing. 1t is always interesting to explore.
1t was just dusk. Jimmy had just
reached an old barn. 1t looked inter-
esting. He decided he would look
around underneath it. There must be
mice around an old barn like that.
Jimmy has liking for mice. He began
to look for q place to crawl under.
Suddenly Jimmy heard a shifting
sound. 1t didn't scarce him at ALL He
stopped and that big plume of a tail
of his began to go up somewhat. He
waited.
There it was again-sniff, sniff sniff!
Suddenly from around a corner of the
barn appeared a dog. He stopped
abruptly when he saw Jimmy. Per-
haps he mistook Jimmy for cat. Then
he became excited. He began to dance
about and bark He would make short
rushes at Jimmy and then dance away.
"A dog" said Jimmy to himself; "a
stranger dog. A foolish dog. It looks
to me as If I would have to teach him
a lesson. He acts to me as If he really
means to attack me. How silly of him! !!
Well, the young must learn by expert
ence. Experience IS great teacher.
My, how excited he is getting! Well,
I'll give him a signal. anyway"
So Jimmy raised his big plume Of a.
tail straight up. ANY one who knows
Jimmy Skunk knows that that is a
warning signal. 1t means Watch out!
You are in danger. Don't come any
nearer
But the foolish young dog only be-
came more excited. He preaced this
way and danced that way. He barked
until it was a wonder he didn't make
his throat sore. This was fun! He

He has always had a yen to ride to
fires and wear fire helmet. For
number Of years he has contributed lib
orally to the volunteer department in
his village, but no one had the temerity
to ask him to join.
One day last week he picked up a
villager and gave him a lift" to the
city, and to him he opened his heart
and expressed the desire to become a
member Of the volunteer organization.
He promised that. if accepted, he would
get up in the middle of the night and
lend his aid at the sound of the siren.
Before he left the car the villager said
that he would see that his friend re-
ceived a fire hat, and the man of
wealth now lies sleeplessly in bed at
night. waiting and eagerly hoping for
the opportunity to dash of in the
darkness to adventure, wearing his he'll

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Tuesday, October 16.

Benefic aspects will dominate to-
morrow, according to astrology, which
reads in the stars promise of great
artistic development in the United
States.
1t is a day read as lucky for all the
theaters, for motion pictures, as well as
for the spoken drama.
There will be revival Of popularity
for classical productions, it is foretold,
and Shakespeare again will be pay
ing box Office venture.
Under this direction of the stars
women should benefit in business as
well as in domestic affairs.
1t is an auspicious date for we'd
dings, and brings with it the promise
of prosperity as well as happiness.
Beauty is to become a chief concern
of many cities, if the stars are rightly
read, and the new American archi-
lecture will continue to reveal a
grandeur all its own.
Despite all the good signs, many
contrasts will be revealed at this time,
when the best and worst of human
capabilities will be apparent.
OccultistS now read in the stars
warnings of events of supreme moment
to the world and many warlike demon
StrationS at time when many nations
pledge peace.
Women should push theoir reform
work and their philanthropic enter
prises.
1t is we'll to resist temptation to

is a sign indicating much evil propa-
ganda and bitter Judgment.
Mercury favors business, loans and
the money market, although mysterious

Persons whose birth date it Is may
have profitable year in business, but
they may suffer from intrigue or de-
ceit in their social relations.
Children born on that day may be

A Sermon for Today
Sick Heads, Faint Hearts.
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.


Text: THE whole head is sick, and
the whole heart is faint" Is. is.
1.-THE whole head is sick" Mentally
indisposed. Mentally lazy. A disease
with which many are afflicted. They
do not use their heads. They never
exercise their minds enough to think
things through. They never look be-
hind effects to discover causes. They
do little meditating upon life and it's
bewildering maze, and they become
the victims of all sorts Of miSconcep-
tions and distorted views.
"The whole heart is faint" Courage
gone. Hope gone. And there are many
in this pathetic plight. They do not
see any promise for the future. In
their despair their hearts have failed
them. They have become weak and
cowardly in the presence of life's
troubles and difficulties. They do not
have heart enough to brace them
selves up for even halfway battle.
"The whole head is sick, and the
whole heart is faint" A sick head al
ways means faint heart. If you want
to keep your heart cheerful, keep your
head clear. Do not yield to mental
Hluolence. Josephine yourself TO think
and to think clearly and truly. Do not
let your problems get you mentally
muddled. Think them through, meas
ure them and see them from all sides
and angles. A little clear, straight
thinking will make a great difference
in the way things look to you. And
seeing things differently, you will feel
di1erently about them. Work your
head better and your heart will work
better. Sick heads and faint hearts 90
togetner. Unless you keep your mind
neaIIny ana alert. you cannot keep your
heart hopeful and courageous. ''Where-
fore. grid up the loins of your mind. be
SOBER, and hope to the end"

PASO ROBELS, Calf. March g.
The Waners are smacking the ball.
They can't help it.
II the truth ever comes out. 1t Is GER
tain that these boys hit a rubber ball
with their rattles when they were babies.
After they got little older, they
practiced on Oklahoma corn cobs. Ball
players and embryo ball players In other
States can well afford to take up that
corn-cob habit. For long time. the
corn-cob market has been sluggish.
Smart farmers In the future will take
a load or two to town every now and
then and sell them for batting practice
to the town boys.
There Is another corn-cOb Waner at
Paso Roblcs. He is a cousin of the two
base ball destrOycrs. His first name is
Travca--not Travis. nor Trellis. as the
types have had it and not Tarvia which
has something to do with roads
This third edition of the Waners
comes of a larger stock and halls from
the Oklahoma Teachers School. He Is
a first-class member of a first-class
basket ball team. He bats right handed
and Is about as tall as Earl Smith.
though not quite SO broad shouldered
as the Pittsburgh linguistic catcher
He has played base ball ever since he
got out OF dresses and likes to swing at
them about shoulder high. When he
meets THAI kind. the ball Is stung, or
"strang," as Smithy puts it.
Bush Watching New Waner.
DOME Bush. boss of the Pirates crew.
Is looking the third Waner over. When
a manager takes time to look a ball
player over. there Is something to the
player. DOME has flirted with him on
the infield and also in the outfield.
One OF these days he will make up his
mind what the youngster can do best
and then he will set him at 1t. When
they come up TO him right, Travea
drives them. All these Oklahoma play
ers seem to have driving power.
There Is another player here from
rangy chap. built for an ideal first base
man. May be he never has played first
before, but he is being acclimated now.
He is left handler. batting. throwing
and ALL He can't let the ball go away
without putting a curve on 1t, so he
