Bobby Coon found out long time ago that a great deal is to be learned by watching his neighbors. It isn't supposed to be a very po- Ete thing to do. No sir, watching ones neighbors is not supposed to be polite thing. But, as a rule, politeness has very little to do with the lives of the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Mead ows. Life very often depends on knowing what ones neighbors may De doing. So, some of these little people keep q very sharp watch of their neighbors.
 Bobby Coon had had very good fall so far. He was fat, for he had Tad good eating. The hunters with terrible guns had not found him. He had had plenty of corn while it was iE the milk and, altogether. he was pretty we'll satisfied. Now he was beginning to think a little bit or winter, He was fat, but he wanted more fat.
 "The fatter I am s,!id he, "thc more comfortable I'll be and the better off in the spring. 1 can't get too fat
 "Huh!" said Peter Rabbit, who happened to overhear him. If q. dog should get after you one of these nights while you are on the ground. you will wish you hadn'. any fat"
 This didn't worry Bobby. He had very good opinion of himself. No dog had found him so far this fall and he didn't intend that any dog should find him. Peter" said he, you don't know how to take life easy. Whats the good of running around and worrying all winter as to where you are going to get enough to eat. Of course, don't know anything about it. but my guess is that you go hungry q good many times in the winter. This is the fat season. Why don't you get yourself fat, the way my big cousin. Buster Bear, and l get fat, And then sleep away the hard times - the lean times. That's the way to live"
 And miss all that is going on." exclaimed Peter. Say, Bobby Coon. l wouldn't miss being out and around every day for anything in the world. What fun is there in sleeping
 Now. Bobby Coon had met Jim my Skunk two CT three times and time it had seemed to Bobby that Jimmy was a little fatter than the time before. It was quite clear that Jimmy was having good eating and plenty of it. It didn't seem to Bob :. by that Jimmy was spending much time looking for food either.
 That fellow will bear watching" thought Bobby. "Ill keep an eye on hlm and sec where he goes ami what he does. If he has found plcn- it to eat. I'll hint to him that he'd better share it with me, or else ll! walk right in and take it away from him. On second thought, I guess I'll he polite. I don't want any trouble not any real trouble-with Jimmy skunk"
 So, for several evenings Bobby Coon watched for Jimmy Skunk: and each t'me Jimmy was on his way home. That meant that Jimmy

HIS PR|CE--EAN

Herewith another Of over q
score Of letters sent to The Wash

ALLOW me to state that am
pulling strong for the Goose, not
so much individually, as am for
the right Of any ball player to
go out and get another Job If he
doesn't want to work for one club
because of salary or sentiment
or Just because.
Griffith is saying, 'Consarn We,
I'll laFn ye where We can play base
ball, ye ingrate!' But Griffith
needs players and especially he
needs the Goose
"All right, If he needs him badly
enough-and everybody seems to
know that better than Griffith
himself-let him pay enough to
get him.
In any other business a man
has to pay enough to get what he
must have. No halo is thrown
around him to force the issue in
his favor.
Many baseball enthusiasts are
getting sick Of a situation where
so much sentiment has been bu
up under the guise Of sport tina.

How far would the Babe have

But who haS-in Chicago or out

Of the reasons, is that the EN-.

Of money owing to the fact that
their pay was held UP for many
weeks.
The stock market hit q lot
Of the once wealthy patrons Of
boxing and many went broke.
Chicago became, for a while, a
place where there just wasn't
much loose money. But things
are picking up nicely and, with

built up there.
The job, Of building was harder
than figured because, Just about
as soon as I was ready to open
up, the prospective patrons lost
millions in the collapse Of the
market.
Just a little hard luck all
around. But that's all over. I'll
begin to get the breaks. But no
