Cubby Bear loves ants. All Bears when they can find lot of ants to lick up. So, when Cubby found big anthill over on the edge of the Green Forest. he forgot everything else. He just used those sharp claws of his and those stout little paws of his 10 dig open the anthill
 Now you know what happens when the homes of ants are disturb cd. You know that the first thing the ants do is 10 try to save their babies. In this respect they are just like other folk. So, when Cubby dug open this anthill, there was a great rushing on the part of the ants to get the babies and carry them to safety; and presently there were ants sWarming in all directions. Cub by just laid right down and licked them up. If any of them bit his tongue, he did not mind if. Those ants were good and he smacked his lips. They quite made up for his failure 10 catch Shadow the Weasel.
 Now. there are other folk who are very fond Of ants, very fond. indeed. One Of these is Yellow Wing the Flicker. It happened that Yellow Wing caMe along and his sharp eyes soon discovered the ants hurryinG this way and that way in their en- deavor 10 escape. So. keeping one eye on Cubby. Yellow Wing flew down and began to catch ants. Now. Yellow Wing. you know, IS a mcm- her Of the Woodpecker family and he has a Woodperker tongue. II is q long tongue, and now 1t darted in and out. and each time it dartod out II touched an ant and each time an ant disappeared. Yellow Wing was having q feast. Noreo, er. he was not afraid You sec. he know that Cubhy could not fly while he himself could. So he took care not 10 get near enough to Cubby for Cubby 10 touch him. and he picked up the ants just as fast as he could dart his tongue out.
 Now it happened that old Mr. Toad had been singing his spring song all spring down in the Smiling Pool. But now the time had come for him 10 20 back and he had start ri up through the swamp above the Smiling Pool, and was working along he edge of the Green For est. In time he would get back 10 Farmer Browns garden but II would take time. Old MT. Toad is d slow traveller Moreover. he does most Of his traNelnC al night.

Students Who
 Are Often III
Those With Financial Struggles Not So We'll.
BY DIR. MORRIS FlSHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of lily.

EultOf JOufuAl or the American
 Medical Association and of lily.
 geia, the Health Magazine
 In every college today there is . small percentage of students who earn their way through school by working in the college dining halls. in offices. and in homes surround ing the institution.
 Some of these students excel as we'll in other activities beyond work and scholarship. As their time is greatly limited. particular ly for recreational activities, they are likely to suffer more with fatigue than are students who are not driven to support themselves while gaining an education.
 Dr. k. w. Bradshaw of Oberlin College has recently reported the results of investigations of the health of self-supporting students as contrasted with those who were independent and did not need to do outside work while in school.
 He pointed out. as have others who have made special studies of infections concerning students that the commonest type of illness is the common cold, sore throat, or influenza.
 The group of students who sup ported themselves suffered from a 36 per cent higher incidence of such infections during the year than did the on-self-supporting group. The students who were working their way spent 1869 days per thousand in the hospital, while the number of non -sef-sup porting groups spent 947 days per thousand in the hospital.
 These figures are also supported by investigations made by the United States Public Health Ser vice in various places. It is sig nificant that the financially handi- capped student who works his way through college has a higher percentage of illness than does the naturally independent group, Un- occasionally the strain of such work and the increased fatigue have some bearing on this fact.

Marion Morton Exhibits Her Secret 'Fortune' to Madgc, Exacting .
 Pledge.

From my early childhood the idea of secret ompartment in box, or a hidden sliding panel in a wall has intrigued me. l know that I am not alone in this, that thousands of peo- pie with romantic imaglnations, share my liking, even though they feel constrained as do. to hide their feelings from their harder headed relatives and friends.
 But there was no need to conceal my interest from Marion as she pressed the hidden spring which threw open the bottom of her dead grandmother's old sandalwood box ment beneath. Her fingers were trembling, her face aslow, and l realized that her excitement was far greater than mine.
 ] tried to call my common sense 70 my aid and 10 tell myself that the long envelopes crowded into the bot tom of the box held only the finan- cially worthless letters and keep sakes of an old woman long dead. But 1 could not banish the eerie impression which Marion's recital of her grandmother injunction had just made upon me. It was the most fantastic idea possible, that Tom Morton, who had died practically a bankrupt should have entrusted any fortune" to his aged. almost senile mother, 10 be kept until the girl was IS, yet my imagination kept dallying with it as Marion lifted the envelopes from the bottom of the box and laid them in my lap.
 T want yoll 10 look at these, Auntie Madge." she said with an at tempt at being business-!ike which Mas pre1tily amusing. Then We can check up on them when we open the box again. or you can. if any thing should happen to me"
 Wit hthe consciousness that my excitement was as childish as Ma irons I picked up the envelopes and scanned them carefully. They were three in number. strong, and sealed in several places with spraWling biobs of red wax. On each was writ ten in the tremulous chirography of an old and ailing person:
 For Marion Morton when she shall have reached the age of IS years. Not 10 be opened until then. or in the event of her decease, by her nearest heir"
 I had q sudden vision of the heartbroken old woman who had scraWled those words for the grand child she idolized Tom Morton had caused his old mother much sor- row, and his death had left her penniless. Lillian had cared fD" her tenderly until her death, and l

 "All common textile fibers stop most of the ultra violet rays" says Miss O'Brien. 50 it is best to choose loosely woven fabrics for the sun suits. so that the rays can reach the body through the large spaces between the yarns.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING

CHICAGO August 2l.--The farmer
with diversity of crops to market this
Fall can look confidently for a larger
income than he received a year ago
But the one-Crop grain iWmer-~rtla-
lively few in number noVadays--is up
against the prospect St decreased

An analysis of recent Government
reports on grain dairy products. cot
ton and live stock reveals the outlook
for more favorable farm year than
in 1927. Present action of the markets
furnishes cue to this situation.
Hogs at the moment are selling at
the highest prices in two years and are
expected To go higher, cattle are at the
tWo-year peak, lambs ON the other
hand are cheap, wheat Ii selling at the
lowest IN four years, cora at the lowest
in two years, oats at ii tWo-year low,
cotton Is declining; dairy products are
bringing excellent returns,
Combining these factors. on the basis
of most recent Government reports, the
Continental National Bank az Trust
Co. of Chicago finds that they signify
an increase of from 500 600 900 TO
$3.50 900 600 In gross income for farm
ers over 1927.

Typical Case Cited.
Typical of conditions was the rise of

key ALL per cent convertibleS. Since
the end of last week they have ad-
Nanced 10 points. They followed the

touching 1875 which compared with the
high of l2524 earlier in the year, the
bonus reacted 3 points and then became

Other speculative issues TO show the
effect of a higher stock list were Andes

horo Rapid Transit SIS and United States

ment regarding stocks. which oyerbal-
anced the obvious handicap to bond

rates.
United States Government issues were
lower. 1t is not expected that the
terms or size Of the September issue
viii be announced until after the first
Of the month or until the total OF Third
Liberties purchased IN the open market
is known.
Foreign Bonds.
South and Central American issues
we're in best demand among foreign
bonds. There was also some improve
ment in German municipal and cor
poration descriptions. The new Ger
man loans have about struck bottom
which is far down from the initial point.
United Kingdom As which were intro
ouced in the market some months ago
above 90. are now around IS. AT that
price they compare favorably with nu-
Inerous American railroad bonds OF the
non-legal type. as well as with some OF

There have been no offerings this
