Bobby Coon. He had met Lightfoot the
Deer and Lightfoot had suddenly found

They are afraid of me-" chuckled
| Cubby. Everybody is afraid of me.
And I'm not afraid of anybody. No,
sir. there isn't anybody I'm afraid Of"
He had forgotten Mother Bear and
his father, Buster Bear. when he boasted
that way. And he had forgotten some
one else. He had forgotten those two
! legged creatures called men. So 1t was
| that one day as he went staggering
along through the Green Forest over

warning. he came face to face with

tie minute Cubby Bear stood stock still.
Then, with a whoof out of pure fright
he almost turned back somerSault in
his haste to get away. Of he went
crashing through the brush, and after
him rang the merry laugh OF Farmer
! Browns Boy.
II do believe that was Cubby Bear"
said Farmer Browns boy. My. how
he has grown! The little scamp didn't
used to be so afraid of me-"
| Then Farmer Browns Boy had to
| laugh as he thought of all the scrapes
Cubby Bear had gotten into. and the
sound of his laughter followed Cubby
Bear and made him feel most uncom-

able when Sammy Jay began to call
after him, Coward, coward, coward |!
Who feels important now? Coward,
coward, coward!"
The worst of 1t was, there wasn't a
thing that Cubby Bear could say. He
suspected that Sammy had overheard
his Dragging about how he wasn't afraid
Of anybody. 1t would be just like Sammy
to tell everybody else. He would go
back and show that two-legged creature
that he wasn't afraid. Co Cubby turned
around and started back as fast as he
had come. oh, my goodness, mol And
when he was half way back to where
| he had left Farmer Browns Boy, Cubby
suddenly remembered that there were
some particularly tender young roots
that some other Bear might get If he
didn't get them right away.

 twssbinrton Correspondent. N. B. Herald)
 Washington, D. C.. Feb. It. "Greenvay Farm" in Hartford coun- ty was an improbable venture TOT Anne w., Louise and Robert Cheney of South Manchester in 1928 and the commissioner of internal revenue failed to consider this in estimating their income taxes. the sisters ana brother claimed in an appeal today to the board of tax appeals.
 Income taxes totalling $1,9s6 are in controversy. The members of the wealthy Connecticut family claim this amount should have been de- ducted by the commissioner from their 1926 income taxes. Their ap- peal to the board asks reversal or the commissioners decision, which, if upheld, will force them to pay the disputed amount.
 In their statements to the board the Cheneys explained that Green- way Farm" was operated jointly by them In 1928. It consisted of 50 acres. Practically all Of this was cleared and under intensive culti- yation, The farm had eight employees working throughout the year and l5 head of cattle, four horses and 1000 chickens were maintained there.
 The Cheneys paid . rental of s1,- 400 for this farm in 1926 and em- ployed Burlingame. Hutchins & King, Inc, of New York city. a hrm engaged in farm management, tc manage 1t for them.
 The sisters and brother stated that the gross income of the farm in 1926 amounted to 3S.sos.37. Op- rating expenses were $1S,907.05 Therefore they computed their net loss as $l1,999.66. also claiming 8 depreciation on buildings of s1,soO.
 Computing their total loss on the tarm at $13,4e2S6 by adding their building depreciation estimate to the iet loss, each claimed one-third of | his loss. or s4,499.55.
 Miss Anne Cheney, who reported net income of s52,s3s.O5 for 1926. declared in her statement to the board that after the most careful compilation she was convinced that her 1928 income taxes were S53s.66 too high.
 Her sister. Louise, stating that her net income for the same year was $53,s1555, estimated that she was taxed $54659 too much.
 The brother, Robert. declared his net income for the year was $72.- 23114. In his estimation his income tax appeals will act on these objev-
 It is expected that the board of tax appeals will act on thes objec- tons soon.
