Jumper Is Disturbed.
There are no tribes, you will find:
The mighty atom keep in mind.
old Mother Nature

"HINGS may appear to be mere
trifles, but In the long run they
are quite likely to bring about
i results Of great importance. So
only the foolish, the needless
and the ignorant regard little things as
unimportant.
Jumper the Hare, like his small
cousin, Peter Rabbit. Is often regarded
as having little wit; as happy-go-
lucky fellow, needless and careless and
lucky to live as long as he has. Now
the supreme fact is that both Peter and
Jumper have managed to keep out Of
the clutches Of more hungry enemies
than have any others save members Of
the Mouse family, and as no one Is
always lucky. it must be that some
thing more than luck is to account for
it. Well, if you would know the truth.
it is that Peter and Jumper are
smarter than they are given credit for
being.
Patch and the Old Pasture. Jumper
prefers the Green Forest, and there
feels most at home. Having long legs

Jumper Is more of traveller than Peter,
but as a rule he confines his wandering
to a comparatively small range. That
Is to say he doesn't 80 on long jour-
neys. Even when he Is pursued by an
enemy, and this happens often, he
sticks to his home range. He knows
that there he has a better chance of
escape.
His reason for doing this he ex-
planned to Peter. you see, Cousin

Jumper. Il don't have to guess at
things; I know. There I am not going
to dodge into a place that looks safe
but may prove TO be quite otherwise;
am going to know that it is safe
Now it happened that along in the
latter part Of the Winter Jumper began
to notice little things that disturbed
him. They seemed like mere trifles,
but Jumper learned long ago that there
are no such things as mere trifles.
Knowing his home range as he did he
took note of little things. He noticed
some young twigs cut by teeth like his
own, but he knew that he hadn't cut
them. He found footprints in patches
of snow. They were like his own but
they were not his. He was positive OF

contribute four tricks. At other times
your suit will play q negative but none

leads for the declarer away from his

out the ace and the remaining dia-

next lead made against you. There is
also the chance that the adverse hold

In June or July they seek their mates.
The nursery will have fresh clean lin
ing of grass. The babies. four to six
of them, are fully clothed in fur as soft
as fluff and their large eyes are wide
open. In a few days you will see the
downy little balls, as light as balloons,
playing about their front door. Even
at this early time of their life, they are
alert, clever at hiding, and can make
respectable leap-for a baby. This
famous leap is not only to give them a
start, but also view Of the surround
ings. At this age they are amusing lit
tie zigzaggers and to catch one Of them
IS extremely difficult.
OF course. the hare has many ene-
mics besides man. The wolves Wild
cats, eagles, coyotes and other animals
lie in wait for him. They use stealth

outwits the hare. he has used every

My ant Fanny sent me a book on
account of thinking it would do me
good to read it. Making me feel like
reading something elts instead, and last
mite after supper, I said to ma 6, ma
gosh, do haff to finish this darn
book?
It's no darn book, it's intristing and
it's educational and it will improve
you to read it, ma said. and said,
Well G, ma, I don't feel like being
improved. I feel all rite.
What books all this? pop said, and
ma said, It's the Life of James B.
Kunkle and tells all about how he rose
from being the lowly son of a poor
farmer to the president of the famous
Kunkle Can Company, it's a very in
spirational thing for a boy to read.
Well aw G, pop, was rite at the
most intristing part Of Paul Poppy
Among the Bush Rangers, cant I stop
this till finish Paul Poppy? said.
Absolutely not, pop said. There's no
future among the bush rangers for any
body except perhaps young Mr.. Poppy,
while on the other hand a careful study
of the career of CRATE self made man
like James B. Kunkle may change your
entire outlook on life. James b. Kun
kle himself was no doubt Spurred on
in his boyhood by reeding of the deeds
Of other CRATE men and there's no rea-
son why you cant be so inspired by

you some day, wich in tern will instill

Well G, maybe that's rite, pop, I
think it's beginning to inspire me al
ready, I said. It says here that he
never did anything but stick to bizz-
ness, and even when he was a boy my
age he helped his father pay the NOR
gage by raising rabbits. So gosh. pop,
maybe I can help you that way. If
you leave me get a few rabbits up at

A Little Saturday Talk.

TINE last time I was in Stratford-
on-Avon. England, I invited a
group Of boys and girls to go
i with me on picnic. We visited
a pleasant park. and had much
fun playing cricket and eating the ice
cream and other refreshments.
For every child, prize" was pro-
vided-at least, that was my plan. fAs
it turned out, there were more at the
picnic than we had expected. What
could I do?
Among the children was a dark-eyed
12-year-old girl named Dorothie Smith,
and she knew that she was to receive q
pretty japanese parasol as a gift; but
she whispered to me, Uncle Ray, please
give the parasol to someone. else"
! smiled and said "All right" but
back in my mind was the thought that
present to take the place of what she
was so thoughtfully giving up.
The months passed, and then more
months. At last I mailed her a letter
containing 50 and asking her to buy
something for herself to take the place
of the picnic prize.
On the very morning of the day I
am writing their Saturday Talk I re-
ceived q letter from Dorothie containing
this paragraph:
II received the dollars very gratefully.
I spent the money on giving my friends,
some of whom you know, river picnic
Mother made dear little jellies with
almonds in and a great many other nov
elites. The sun was shining, and the
afternoon and evening were truly en-
joyable."
The letter also tells other things about
the Winter which is just passing In
England. It appears that many days
have been mild and pleasant, but other
days have been "the coldest in years. I"
That Is interesting; but most Of all
like what this young English girl tells

didn't care to follow him. Time and
again Jumper hid and waited for the
stranger but somehow the latter al
ways seemed to know it and never
came near. Later Jumper would find
that he had been quietly feeding in
another part CT the range.
So Jumper became more and more
disturbed. He had no peace. for he
could not keep that strange Hare out
of his mind. The stranger was big,
young and handsome ana it was quite
clear that he had very good opinion
of himself, much better option than
Jumper had Of him. As time went on
he grew bolder and Jumper began to
have the uneasy feeling that one of
these days that stranger would be
claiming that home range as his own
and try to drive Jumper out. And this
thought was more disturbing than any
that had gone before.

Of the absolutely minimum holdings
on which you will respond to this in

called to bid with just queen and a

thing more in your hand, and in that
event the declarer will not have much
difficulty. The gamble will be present
only when you have very weak hand,
and have tried to show you the justi-

made under these, the least favorable,

You will have no difficulty with the
large group of average responding
hands on which you make the mini
mum response of raising the two no
trumps to three, or bidding three in a
suit. The openers rebid is automatic
in the latter case. and nearly all these
hands will be played in three no
trumps. The exceptions are when the
opener has a powerful concealed major
suit, bids it over a suit take-out by
you, and you bid four in the major
suit for him in preference to three no
trumps.

Highway Patrol In
A Motorcycle ROdeO

Sixty members of the State Highway
Patrol will stage motorcycle rodeo"
in front of the grandstand at the Min
nesota State Fair and Northwest Live
stock Show on September 8, it was an
nounced by Raymond A Lee, secretary.
While their appearance at the Fair
is called rodeo, the Patrol members
really will give a mass demonstration
of the regular duties they perform on
the state highways individually.
Chief John P. Arnoldy of the Patrol
promises some spectacular formation
riding by the so motorcycle officers.
Members of the Patrol will be shown in
action at the scene of a head-on auto
mobile collision, administering first aid
to the injured. Another bit of realism
will be burning automobile with a
patrolman coming to the rescue to ex-
tinguiSh the flames.
Appearance of the Patrol at the Fair
will be possible, says Chief Arnoldy,
because the semi-annual meeting of the
organization is scheduled for Friday
morning, September 8, at the State
Highway building.
