Amount TO Removal
THE establishments are sub
stantially the equivalent OF the re-
moval OF the .differential and in
some instances amount to more"
the railroad official declared.
These re-adjustmerts will be
accomplished by changing the clas-
sifications OF various vegetables and
a lessening OF the amount Of the
added charge" said Mr.. Saunders
avoiding the use Of the word "dif-
ferential".
Cabbage. cause Of most of the
controversy with the railroads con-
corning the ~differential, will cost
only five cents a pound or q dol
lar a ton more to ship from the
Valley than from Corpus Christi,
under the proposed REIMBURSEMENT.
It now costs from $3.50 to $500 a
ton more to ship this commodity
from the Valley to certain points
than from the competing area. This
will do much to equalize the two
sections and eliminate the beating
down Of prices due to a large diff
ference in rates. Il was stated.
Not only will the rates on veget-
ables be materially reduced but

rate on beets. carrots and turnips

turnips will take the same rates
and minimum weights with tops
as without. Railroads and shippers
have been in controversy for years
concerning the proper definition Of
clipped tops. The carriers have
claimed that shippers often merely
clipped ends Of tops in order TO get
the rate on vegetables without
tops. The new classification will
eliminate the controversy and neces-
Sity for policing, Saunders stated.
The rates on beetS, carrots and
turnips will be only six cents a
hundred pounds higher than from
the Corpus Christi obstown area.
Under the existing rate structure It
costs about Is cents a hundred
pounds more on these commodi-
ties. A saving Of sos per car is in
dicated.
The minimum weight per car
would be raised from 10000 pounds
TO $4,000 but this Is entirely favor
able to shippers who say that they
can load the larger amount without
trouble. the railroad man said.
Minimums are the weights on which
freight must be paid whether load
ed or not.
Broccoli. anise, tomatoes, green
beans, peas and some other COM
modities, will be changed from a
higher to a lower classification re-
sulting in a difference over Corpus
Christi Of only eight cents a hun
dred pounds where there is now a
difference Of as much as 20 cents.
The minimum weight in this clas-
sification would be increased from
Il $500 pounds TO $4,000 pouINs.

neat little hole into the shell of his
victims and drinks its body juices,
leaving only the indigestible portions
in the shell.
In the Spring and Summer. and on
Long Island as late as September,
search the sands for the strange and
fascinating ribbons" of egg capsules.
Sometimes the string of yellowish,
dishlike cases will be a yard long
The eggs are sometimes washed up
on the beach and you may find they
are occupied. Some of the cases may
contain as many as two dozen eggs or
wee whelks. Look for the thin place
about the center of the capsule along
the edge. This is the spot from which
the youngster will tumble, and he at
once races eagerly about the business
OF making his living.
A fine string of empty disks would
be an excellent trophy to add to your
handsome whelk shell collection.

and collector of shells, you may now
be called by the high-sounding name
Of conchologist!

sure it was a very warm and COM
Portable nest down there.
OF course, Whitefoot doesn't sleep
as Buster Bear does. He sleeps like
other people. when he feels sleepy, and
never for very long at a time. II
makes no difference to him whether
it be daytime or night when he Is
awake. So Whitefoot came and went
when and as he pleased, and every
time he went in or out he passed close
to Buster Bear. There they were, two
neighbors. as unlike as you can well
imagine.
Buster Bear, next to Flathorns the
Moose, is the biggest of all the people
living in the Green Forest. Whitefoot
the Wood Mouse is one of the smallest
OF all the furred folk living in the
Green Forest. So there they we're, big
and little neighbors, under the great
windfall in the Green Forest, and very
close neighbors.
1t really had been very smart OF
Whitefoot to think of making mis-
home there. He knew that there was
little chance that any one would find
him. Shadow the Weasel really was
the only one who would be likely to
dare to hunt around under that wind
fall, knowing that Buster Bear was
there.
But there was no place where
Whitefoot would be absolutely safe
from Shadow, for wherever Whitefoot
would CO. Shadow could follow. You
know how very slender, trim and slim
Shadow is.
Thus it was that Whitefoot settled
himself to enjoy Winter in comfort.

he made his way until he was actually
in Buster Bears bed room. There on
his bed of dry leaves lay Buster Bear
fast asleep. When Whitefoot discov-
cred how very sound asleep Buster
was he suddenly lost his fear. 1t was
right then that he decided to make
his home in there under that windfall.
First, Whitefoot explored that wind
fall thoroughly. He crept everywhere
underneath 1t. He climbed in and out
among the branches of the fallen trees.
He explored the trunks of the trees,
looking for possible holes in them.
BY the time he was through he knew
about all there was to know in regard
to that windfall. Then he decided
just where he was going to make his
home.
"The nearer it is to where Buster
Bear is sleeping. the safer for me it
will be-" said Whitefoot to himself.
From Buster I have nothing what
ever to fear until he awakens in the
Spring, and I doubt If even then there
will be anything to be really afraid Of.
Never in the world will he think Of
looking for me so near at hand"
Whitefoot found that under that
great pile of fallen trees was an old
stump. 1t was close to this old stump
that Buster Bear had made his bed.
Between two of the roots, part way
around the old stump. was a hole. It
was a small hole, just the right size
for Mouse. It led down in under
the old stump. whitefoot went to
work down there. He dug out a place
big enough to hold a nice nest. He
cleared out the passageway and he
made that nice nest. He took some
moss down in there, and lie took strips
of fine bark. He knew just what kind
of a nest he wanted, and you may be

A T ANY time of the year you will
~ find some Of your old ac-
~ quaintances on the beach
n Starflshes, seahorses, coweries,
sandbugs and hermit crabs, to mem
tion few. Upon seeing one of them
strolling along the sands, you feel like
saluting with, Hi, there, old-timer.'' =
It is a great feeling to realize that
you know their family history and
/ far more about their affairs than they
do themselves.
On any sandy beach from the Gulf
Of Mexico to Cape Cod you can find
one or more of the whelk clan, who
so often are seen In the company
with others you know. The largest
ones are usually found north of Cape
Hatteras. The greatest number seen
have been off the New Jersey coast
and in Long Island Sound.
Look carefully at the whorls, for by
them you identify your whelk. If
they turn toward the left, that is the
one we are talking about and which
is here pictured. The youthful men,
bers of the family may be told by
their bright purplish- brown zigzag
streaks and knobby shoulders. AS
old age creeps upon them their colors
fade until finally the shell Is white
and worn smooth by the friction Of
the sandy wash.
An adult whelk will be about 6
inches long. Some, of course, are
much larger. The whelk is black and
the entrance to his home at the
threshold is brown. When he wishes
to retire he draws in his sturdy foot.
which closes the entrance with
hornylike door.
If you do not see them plowing
along in the sand looking for food,

idea come to him, and he
had thought that idea over for a long
time before he acted on it. OF course,
that was the thing to do BY not act
ing hastily he was less likely to make
mistake. He was more sure that he
was not doing the wrong thing.
What was Whitefoot's idea? 1t was
to make his home for the Winter
under the great windfall beneath
which Buster Bear had made his VIM
ter home. The idea had come to
Whitefoot when he found that Peter
Rabbit had been in under that wind
fall clear to Buster Bears bed room.
Peter had reported Buster as fast
asleep. Then when he was sure that
no one was around to see him. White
foot ventured in under the great wind
fall.
He went in just the same way that
Peter had gone in. He took a few
hops. then sat still and listened while
his heart went pitter-pat, pitter-pat
Then he took few more steps and
did the same thing. So, little by little,

license. I have a similar inter- est in the general court, which. with a deputy-governor in the chair, granted another ancestor of mine a divorce from a wife . who preferred to live somewhere in England rather than in Hart ford or Saybrook. This divorce, said to be the first in the Con- necticut Colony, set vicious example for all time.
 At first the governor, who was elected for a single year, could not immediately succeed himself. There must be an interim or another year before he became eligible again for this office. though in the meantime he might hold the office of deputy governor. This restriction, how ever, was removed in favor or John Winthrop the younger. son of the first governor of Massa- chusetts. Young Winthrop, you may have observed, is now being honored by the American Chemi- cal Industries for his researches in chemistry at time when chemistry was hardly more than alchemy. Connecticut has never had a governor more able. more brilliant. Though Puritan, Winthrop obtained from Charles the Second, that archenemy or all Puritans, the famous charter granting to the Connecticut Col only all the land between Massa- chusetts and the Sound from Narragansett Bay across the continent to the South Sea, then supposed to be a waste of waters not far to the West over the mountains. In return the King of England and his heirs and successors were to receive fifth part of the gold and silver ore that might be taken out of those mountains. It was a shrewd trans action. It made Winthrop gov ernor for the rest of his life, al! told for eighteen years.
 Tradition Passes
 Thereafter it became the rule to keep a governor in office un. til his death or until he declined to serve longer, when the deputy governor took up the burden with the assurance of a term as governor so long as God might let him live. There were, of course, enough exceptions to prove the rule. The tradition gradually passed with the rise or political parties at the beginning of the nineteenth century, though there have been some exceptions in periods of emergencies. The old single oligarchy in our gov ernment was then split and transformed into political organ izations. Still, amid all the changes of three hundred years there yet remains the old Purl- tan fear of what a governor may do unless a close watch be kept round him.
