Blacky was starting out to look for his
breakfast. Chatterer stopped and chung
to the under side of branch as Blacky
passed over the tree. He knew that if
Blacky should see him 1t would be just
like him to tell everybody within hear
ing about it.
As soon as Blacky had passed on Chat
terer hurried to make up for lost time.
When he reached the edge of the Old
Orchard he left the tree for the old
stone wall. He is very fond OF that old
stone wall, is Chatterer. Not even in
his beloved tree does he feel safer than
he does there. He can always pop into
a hole between the stones If danger ap-
pears suddenly. And these same holes
are such wonderful places to peep out
from and watch what Is going on, while
keeping well hidden from watchful eyes.
Thief! Thief" Chatterer chuckled.
THAT was Sammy JAY" said he to him

Happy Jack, he Is calling thief. Any
one who has anything that Sammy
wants is a thief. according to him. I
must keep out of his sight or he will be

voice that am q thief"
He was more cautious than ever as
he made his way along the old wall,
every few steps stopping to look and
listen. He was almost to the end of
the wall nearest Farmer Browns door,
yard when at last he saw Sammy Jay.
Sammy was flying about a certain tree
in the last row nearest the dooryard
and he was doing a lot of screaming
Then Chatterer saw something gray.
There was no one with q coat just that

WHO ARE YOU?
The Romance of Your Name
BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS.

Herbert Of Cherbury. and this claim
is supported by the arms and crest en-
graved on the tombstone.
This is a very ancient personal name.
The noble house of Herberts descended
from the Count of Vermandois, who
came to England with william the Con-
queror. The first to assume the name
as a surname was Henry Fitz-Herbert,
or "son Of Herbert" who was chamber
lain to King Henry I.
The name Is taken from the Saxon
word here" meaning soldier, and
"beorhi," word signifying valiant. cour-
ageous. In this way brave soldier"
typifles a Herbert.
The name of Herbert was also promi-
nent among the Pilgrims in New Eng
land. Henry was living in Charlestown.
Mass, in 1858. John Herbert came from
Northampton, England, in 1887, and was
granted land in Salem. Mass. Another
John Herbert was merchant in Brain
tree Mass, and another captain OF
militia in Reading. Mass, in 1880. Syl-
vester Herbert was a citizen Of Boston
in 1852.
The Herberts are now plentiful in
America and are esteemed for their
splendid qualities. and personal worth
wherever they are known.

Playing with a partner who was not

forcing with this hand if they were
not absolutely sure of their partners

the implied rebid material inferred by
an opening bid as dealer. However.
out-ano-out Sims players Will inevitably
get to seven hearts on this hand If they
do not force on the first round They
may even, If they do force-but ex-

Verify it would be fine to view the
landscape DER and see on every
hand the advance of the pure, the
true and the beautiful, but is that
what we see? If we do, maybe it is
because we observe in only small
patch. Perhaps most of us will say
that Christianity (even as the term
is used) is something far better
than heathenism. All right. But
wo-thirds of mankind have heard
nothing whatever of God. They are
heather, and someone has said that
births among them increase hun
dred times as fast as re-births, or
conversions!
We read in book notable for
withstanding the ravages of time,
of evil men and of evil circum-
stances, that certain favored people
"Did that which was evil in the,
sight of Jehovah, and forgot Je-
hovah their God and served the
Baalim and the Ashcroft. There
fore the anger of Jehovah was
kindled against Israel,v and he sold
them into the hands of enemies who
made it so hard on them that they
"cried unto Jehovah" and Jehovah
raised up a deliverer unto them.
But ''The children of Israel again
did that which was evil in the sight
of Jehovah" and again tasted the
bitter fruits of their own doings.
Shall we not be turning this "de-
preston" to good account il we
think on our evil doings, acknowl-
edge our sins and turn whole
heartedly unto our great, gracious,
loving, heavenly Father? Which
way are we going, and how long?

WHERE ARE WE GOING?
tBy Don Carlos James,

| Wy DOA SdIlOS JduGs)
Upon what do we feed when we
look into the present day world and
solemnly answer Eyes, the world is
| growing better?" Maybe we have
just had joyful trip. in modern
car over wonderful road through
a section which God filled with love-
illness. Certainly transportation ia
cilities are growing better, but
doesn't it take some of the joy out
of the thought to know the toll of
life Zone every 16 miDutes) this
same auto is annually taking, or to
have to crawl out of the ditch into
which some hit-and-run driver has
forced us? The auto, for an illus
tration, helps lot OF people go to
the place of worship. Who does not
know that it is a powerful agency in
getting multitude elsewhere?
If we speak of moral goodness,
are people better before God be-
cause they ride in airplanes, than
those were who rode in ox-carts or
prairie schooners? Naturally we do
not wish to exchange present day
transportation for that antiquated
equipment of our grandfathers, but
do we need to think we are holier
than they by the mere use of mod
ern inventions?
Is the world getting better in a
business way? The farmer is a |
factor in the affairs of |
our country. Our national farm in
come in 1929 was given at $4,000
900, 200, and for 1892 it is set at
about 00,000,000, and that can
not be reckoned as an Improvement.
Illinois is reported as having 47%
of her farms mortgaged, and the
great agricultural state of Iowa is
said to have $50 of her farms un-
Ter mortgages. Over 100000

Governor Whites Economy Program
Widely Approyed

Governor Whites Economy Program
Widely Approved
Widespread editorial approval has
followed Governor George Whites
announced intention to require re-
ductions In state expenditures e1-
| ceeding those he effected during hie
| first term. That curtailment re-
! fiected in the governors proposed
budget for the 1933-34 biennium
will meet resistance, because cher
ished services or institutions OF
some tax spenders will suffer, but
that the people generally will ap-
plaud, is the comment of newspaper
observers.
This view is summed up by the
Alliance Review "a an editorial
which pointed out:
1.-THE budget presented has not
met with the hearty approval of
some certain individuals because it
means the curtailing Of lavish ex-
penditures on their part Of the peo-
ple's money. But Governor White
has the right idea. He means to
save many millions of dollars, a
much needed saving in time of de-
preston such as we are passing
through"
That citizens should help to enlist
support for the governors economy
methods by writing to their state
senators and representatives and
urging them to approve the ex-
ecutive recommendations is suggest
ed by the editor of the Review.
In a similar vein the Marion Star
remarks:
"A surprised minority here and
there will have to grin and bear the
hurt of seeing a pet project go beg
ging; either they will grin and bear
it, or betray by their protests that
they are for economy as long as
they are not affected by it.
IF the general assembly accepts
the governors recommendations, or
If it is moved by some miracle to
decide that 1t is good sense to press
an economy policy even further
than Governor White has pressed it
Ohio will discover what it means to
save mnoey by overnight revisions
in government spending"
Noting the governors admonition
that there must be most drastic
curtailment in expenditures In or
der that the state shall live within
it's income," the Lima News says
"These things are encouraging. We
are glad to see that there is fellow
in the governors chair in Columbus
who is anxious to cut down govern
ment COSTS
The editor of the Troy News ap-
plauds the fact that "the governors
figures show reduction of some
thing like s22,00O,O00 from the
amount appropriated two years
ago" He continues:
1--WE certainly admire White for
taking such stand. In these days
folks are for the man who has the
nerve to put into effect what he
talks about in prediction cam
paigns."
The editor of the Fremont Mes
senger similarly approves the full
fillment of pledges and comments:
Governor, White again kept his
promise to the voters of Ohio when
he cut the budget. 1t is doubtless
the most drastic cut in Ohio's his
tory
And the editor of the Washington
c.. H., Herald, adds:
Particularly have the people of
Ohio cause to be thankful because
Governor White is at the helm of
the ship of state. He is a man Of
broad business experience, comes
from the ranks of the people who
are compelled to work their way
through the world, is in touch with
and has the mental poise
and ability to deal with crises, un-
afraid
