to do. So you'll make me stop! Well,
come on and do it. You see, don't
feel like stopping just this minute.
Come on and make me-"
Jimmy ambled on without so much
as another look at Reddy. AS for the
latter, he was fairly boiling with anger.
At the same time he was beginning to
feel rather foolish. The worst of it
was he was likely to feel more foolish
before he was through, and he knew it.
He had made sad mistake when he
had said that he would make Jimmy
Skunk stop That was an unfortunate
slip of the tongue. There was no doubt
about that.
Il can kill you if want TO-" growled
Reddy.
But you don't want to-" ~retorted
Jimmy. That is, you would like to
have me killed. but ycu don't want to
kill me yourself"
who says I dont?" snarled Reddy,
growing more angry every minute.
Il do" replied Jimmy Skunk You
know it would be so unpleasant after
ward"
Reddy did know. He had no desire
to have Jimmy use that little scent
gun of his on him. 1t was true that
he was bigger and stronger than Jimmy
and in fight with teeth and claws
only could kill Jimmy. Also it was true
that he didn't dare face that scent gun
Of Jimmy's, and he knew that Jimmy
knew it. So his boasting had been
| idle Boosting and he was feeling more
foolish with every passing minute.
Suddenly. with no warning at all,
Jimmy Skunk turned to face Reddy
and his broad tail was raised high
in his danger signal. Reddy almost fell
over backward in his haste to put a
greater distance between them. Jimmy
grinned. lcwered his tail and went on
about his business. Reddy didn't grin.
If there was joke, he couldn't see it.

Writing is enc of the most important
things in the world. What We read to-
day will do much to make US what we
shall be in later life That is why we
should try to read worthwhile things;
and that IS why writer's should aim to
write what will help those who read.
The members of the Young Writer'S

longs to the sensitive plant

This little habit was first
noticed in 1910 by Parkinson, who
wrote each leaf foulding itself double

Vespasian Robin. for whom the
genus Is named, introduced the Guilt
walton Of locusts in Europe. About a
century ago, a plan was formed to
grow locust trees and supply England
with the timbers for shipbuilding pur-
poses. This venture was not success
full. There are today more locust trees
in Europe than in America, and the
leaves are used as forage for cattle:

pest, has been responsible for the loss
of millions of dollars to the lumber in

His dad is sure that he'll succeed

Before he's very old,
Will shine upon the roll OF fame
In letters writ in gold,
And grateful multitudes will flock

RULE OF RUIN

Today (September 25), we re-
ceived a special delivery package
from the Daily Worker containing
46 letters and 4 postal cards adj
dressed to this column. Our pri-
vate mail contained II letters from
Daily Worker readers. Everyone
of these 81 communications found
something praiseworthy in this de-
partment and some of them are SO
lavish in the expression of their
gratitude and admiration that we
could easily become conceited, if
we were younger and inclined that
away.
But such is the "perversion" of
our mind that instead of quoting
these laudatory missives, we pick
out the 62nd communication adj
dressed to the Daily Worker by A.
S. Anderson, of San Bernardino,
California.
1t is short and to the point: He
notifies the Daily Worker to cancel
his subscription because "Your con-
tinued support of medical super
stition is indefensible and even sus-
picious."
Lest the younger comrades in the
subscription department be per-
turbed by the loss of subscriber,
we hasten to assure them that
of the kind will happen.
From long experience, we know
that this type of subscriber-bour-
geois or proletarian--who tried to
coerce the paper into adopting GER
tain policies by threatening to with
draw his financial support, is not
worth retaining. Psychologically,
they suffer from the "rule or ruin"
complex. If they cannot have
things their own way, they'd rather
try to ruin the organization, the
undertaking or the paper which dis
