Shocking Discovery.

4 a stranger. the one no one knows
anything about, Is the first TO
be suspected Of being the cause. The
fact that he has attended strictly TO
his own affair and offended no one ap-
parently Is accepted by his neighbors
as grounds for suspicion, or so 1t seems.
There was a stranger In the Old
Orchard. Who he was or where he had
come from no one knew. He minded
his own business and kept by himself.
He was about the size Of Sammy Jay,
was modestly dressed in gray. black and
white. and altogether was a harmless
looking fellow. He appeared not to want
friends, and when they found this out
the other feathered folk ceased to take
any notice OF him. Tommy Tit the
Ch1ckadee alone was suspicious of him.
Why he was suspicious Tommy him
self didn't know. He just was, that
was all Perhaps It was because being
Of such a friendly disposition himself
he resented lack Of friendliness in an
other. But as the days passed even
Tommy Tit ceased to think Of the
stranger.
Then one morning Yank Yank the
Nuthatch made a shocking discovery
He was exploring a tree on the edge Of
the Green Forest beyond the Old Or
chard in his usual thorough fashion. in
quest OF insect eggs and grubs that
might be on or under the bark when
he came upon something that quite up
set him. 1t was one of the relatives Of

tract was four hearts by South-gen-
orally reached by the following bids:
one no trump, two hearts. three hearts.
four hearts, which I consider the right
bidding The differences came in the
play of the hand, chiefly dependent on
East'S defense. When North was a
known Sims player, East did not double
fearing that the contract might be
taken back to four no trumps and that
North might then squeeze him un-
mercifully by means of n concealed
long minor suit. In other cases East
generally doubled. feeling that Norths
raise in hearts showed hOnors in that

three heart tricks and probably the

that they could not go back to four

Those Who Looked Ahead.

When East concentrated his Thoughts
on the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth
tricks, rather than the Immediate
spade probabilities. he was able to
beat the hand by playing small spade
and not the king West has won a
trick; so that if East can avoid being
end-played at trick eleven. he can be
sure of taking three trump tricks and
setting the contract The end play
can be avoided only if the North hand
lacks sufficient re-entries to permit
declarer to ruff all the spade losers
and the losing diamond. and then after
playing the two high clubs, lead losing
club which West will win with the
queen but which East must trump, hav-
ing only three trumps left for his last
three cards. Those that fOresaW these
plays did not mind if South did have
the ten of spades and won with it. as
they had preserved themselves from
the end play in trumps.
When East played small spade
South triumphed and led trump.
When West failed to follow, the ace
went up, a spade was ruffed: but with
two losers left in dummy, declarer could
only get in once more with the club
ace Thus dummy was left with a
loser in a suit of which East held the
top card as his "out" card, and de-
cIarer could not get to dummy again
to ruff that card. Consequently he had
to take-and 1ose-tfle club fnesse as
a last desperate resource, Down one.

East Was Short Sighted.

The East players who thought they
had the hand down at least one, count
ing three sure trump tricks, and were
greedy to get a second trick if possible,
played the king on the second spade
lead. This made the jack good; SO
dummy had one less loser to ruff, and
at the tenth trick declarer leads los
ing club. West wins with the queen;
dummy. having @ in hearts and a
club, follows suit; and East with * ]
10 of hearts is compelled to trump and
then lead away from king up to the
queen. -Four hearts we're then made,
in some cases doubled
Moral-Looil far ahead and do not
be greedy. No partner has the right
to blame you for making a safety play
in defense which insures the defeat of
the contract. even if it Surrenders the
chance of setting it two tricks instead
of only one.

Number of Meat Animals
Expected to Be Smallest
in IS Years.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, October 24-Bartlett
Frazier Co. have issued a survey of
the relation during the coming year
between grain animal-feeds and num-
bers of farm animals. The survey,
prepared by Bernard w. Snow. says:
The number of meat animals at the
end of the present year will be smaller
than at any time in the last IS years
with also a material loss in number of
work animals.
I'm spite of this sudden shrinkage
of meat animals on farms. amounting
to approximately 100000 head of
cattle, and with hog supplies for the
year apparently 40 per cent below
recent years, there is still a very serious
deficiency in the feed grains-corn,
oats and barley.
I'm comparison with the average
Of the ore-war period, 190e-13. the
volume of feed grains available for
farm animal use this year is only So
per cent. Against this available sup
ply, the normal requirement for farm
animal use would be 76 per cent even
after allowing for admitted tremen-
douS shortage in numbers due to gov
ernmental policy and to drought losses.
Last year the average meat con-
sumption of American people in a
year of bitter economic experience was
143 pounds, consumption practically
the same as in the pre-war period,
1909-13, which we are asked to re-
gard as the halcyon period for agri-
culture We now face a year when
the problem is to provide bare susie
nance for farm animals, a condition
which will lower our standard of liv-
ing by lowering both the quality and
quantity of cur meat supply"
