old Mtoher Nature.

Reddy Fox is not given to careless
ness. If he were, he wouldn't have
lived as long as he has. Little people
of the Green Forest and the Green
Meadows who are often careless seldom
live long. One Of the very first things
they learn when they are little Is that
careiessness is costly.
But there are times when even the
most careful forget or become absent
minded, and SO are careless. It Is so
with Reddy Fox Even Old Granny
Fox, with all her wisdom, is careless
once in great while. I doubt if there
is any one who, at some time or other,
is not careless.

Forest and the Green Meadows who
were not sleeping the Winter away were
out looking for something to eat. They
must eat or they cannot live. So 1t Is
that there is always a great deal OF &C

storms last the little people can't eat.
Therefore, just as soon as storm stops,
they are out hunting for food.
Reddy Fox was hungrier than usual.

TALK MAPPED
FOR INAUGURAL
Hoover Expected to Discuss
Prohibition, Farm Relief,
Tariff, immigration

WASHINGTON. Feb. a7.-R-
President-eiect Hoover in his in
augural address next Monday Is ex-
pected to discuss the principal IS
sues In the campaign In which he
won an entrance to the White
House.
Among these was law enforce
raerit. involving the prohibition and
other statutes, the subject upon
which he touched In a number of
his speeches His opinion as thus
expressed was that the purpose Of
the eighteenth amendment was To
protect the American homes: that
he wished IL 20 succeed and that q
sacred obligation was imposed upon
the president to secure its honest
enforcement and to leiminate the
abuses which have grown around IL.
Farm relief was another of the
outstanding issues. and the presi-
dent-elect Is expected 10 go into
this at some length. but to give q
more expanded exposition OF his
views In his message to the spa
cial session Of the new congress
which he plans now to call for mid
April.
The tariff vas a subject upon
which Mr.. Hoover laid much stress
and which also is TO be considered
during the spring and summer ses-
sion Of congress.
On the subject of immigration,
the views CT the presidert-elec. rs
stated during the campaign Is that
limitation Is q fundamental part OF
the protective system because It
prevents a flood Of labor from
abroad which would break down
American wage levels.

The evening message was taken
from the fifth chapter Of Genesis
from the words spoken of Enoch,
"Enoch walked with God"
The speaker stated that walking
with God meant living the nohlest,

application was brought fcrcefully
