snapped Jenny rather Grossly.
I'm sorry, my dear" replied Mr..
Wren. "I'll go to work on the other
house"
SO Mr.. Wren began to carry sticks
and other things into the other house,
and once more he was happy while he
was working. He sang before he picked
up a stick and he sang as soon as he
had carried it into that second little
house. Between singing and working he
was very happy, indeed. Jenny Wren
joined him finally and helped carry
stuff into that little house. She Is very
much like Mr.. Wren, In that she must
be busy to be happy. When she was

shook. Tt seemed as If his little throat
might burst.

right then and there Jenny suddenly
lost interest in 1t.
Don't you think it is time to begin
building the nest?" ventured Mr.. Wren
mildly.
"No, DON'T" retorted Jenny when
I think 1t Is time to begin it I'll begin
it. Anyway, we are not going to use
this house"
What" cried Mr.. Wren In astoniSh-
ment.
IT said we are not going TO use this
house." replied Jenny.
But what was the idea in having me
do all this work for nothing?" de-
manded Mr.. Wren.

torted Jenny.

house we must use the other" pro-

There isn't any must about it," de-
clared Jenny. st don't think we'll use
either of these houses. have my eye
on another place."
It was then that Mr.. Wren lost his
patience. Haven't you any mind Of
| your own, Jenny Wren?" he demanded.
Here I've filled up two houses and now
you say you are not going to use either
one. They are lovely houses, too.

Farmer Browns Boy had put UP, until
ut last that little house was full. There
wasn't even room to make the comfort

eggs.
Then it was that he once more hunt

Come over and see it."
Jenny did fly over there. you've got
too much stuff in here" said she. Be-

"You didn't tell me too," replied Mr..
Wren meekly.

COTTON PRICES
CAUSE TIFF

Carl Williams, cotton member"
Of the Federal Farm Board, today
precipitated a violent controversy
in the Senate Agriculture Commit
tee by saying that the present price
of cotton is within l of Ike of a
fair price.
Senators Smith (D.) of South Caro-
lima and Caraway D) of Arkansas,
both ridiculed Williams statement
as well as the boards plans to aid
cotton farmers.
My opinion of the present price
OF cotton is that, on the basis of
a cent to a cent and a quarter less
in prices than it should be" said
Williams.
10 years the price of cotton in New
Orleans has averaged 22.57 cents
and now you say that fair price
today is 20 to 20h cents.
you say this in the face of the
fact that during the last 10 years
the condition of the cotton farmer
has become so desperate that the
President has called special ses-
SION TO relieve it's condition"
Il said what | thought cotton was
worth: I'm for the farmer getting
all he cam" said Williams.
Pressed by Senator Smith to favor
some definite action to quickly raise
the price of cotton. Williams de-
clared that Congress should give
the board ten to twenty million dol
lars a year if it wants the price of
cotton pegged above IAN economic
price"
Why" said Smith. 1.-The value of
the whole crop is only little over
billion and half dollars"
Smith asserted that the board
could draw out and take enough
cotton off the market to raise the
price of cotton in 30 days.
