receipts during the height Of the
season, which started about ten days
late. Production of southern onions
is greater than average this season.
Supplies of northern onions are be-
coming light, but few cars daily
are still being shipped from Michi-
gan. New York. and. Oregon. Prices
of these onions have dropped mod
erately from the. tops quoted last
month, but good lots still bring 81

onions a little too late had to take
prices considerably below the sea-

Strawberry receipts from LOuisi-

April, and quality showed improve
ment over early receipts. Some
we're still rather light in color. but

she espied the heavy wire door mat
by our back steps and with a glee-
full cry, ran and picked it up. Glane-
ing back at us triumphantly, she
called out, "I'se going to take ii
home" and started trotting down
the driveway. Hearing no threat or
admonition called after her, she
paused at the front walk and looked
back again.
To her surprise, my sister ex-
claimed: "My, what a big strong
girl Dolly is!"
"Yes," 1 answered, "she can lift
that heavy mat and carry 1t down
the walk. / wonder If she can carry
It all the way back and put it right
by the steps exactly where it was
before!"
She listened, considered a NOM
ent and then graVely marched back
and replaced the mat where it be-
lOnged. We praised her and she
scampered off, without having been
scolded for doing something" And
it's this matter of doing something"
which requires ingenuity and patti
ence on the part Of mothers.
But how much better to spend a
few minutes each day, planning lit
tie tasks or pleasing occupations,
than to spend them furnishing
lively yOungster for inventing tasks
of which you disapprOve. Most little
"DOllys" are happy when they are
busy, and when they are busy in a
worthwhile way, they are good.
There is a pamphlet published by

Activities for the Young Child in the

Energetic boys and girls are

Only the seed that on earth we

These shall pass onward when we

When the bright crowns of rejoic-

Carlot movement of produce has

to output has been stimulated this
month by higher prices. but the
shipping movement fell back con-
siderably after the middle OF the

caused shippers to hold back sup
plies. Other northern vegetables are
in light receipt as usual near the

fects of unfavorable weather and
shipments have been lighter than
usual, but tending to Increase the

aWHATs DOLLY DOING NOWr
Theodore Brownheid

An energetic little girl Of four
lives next door to us. From morning
until night Dolly is running, skip
ping or hopping about, brimming
over with the vitality Of perfect
health. AS her mother expresses 1t:
"She's always into things!"
But alas! the penalty for this
natural exuberance Of physical en-
ergy is a series Of spanklngs, scOld-
ings and threats. So now this child
is already showing defiance and a
battling spirit as her defense. II
not used against her mother, It Is
shown towards others.
When her mother spanks her and
sends her Out-of-doors to 'be good,
now," she goes to her little pup, and
If he doesn't do her bidding at once,
slaps his ears. Or, fresh from
battle with her mother, she may APP
pear ON the front sidewalk to strike
with stick or her jump rope at
some passer-by.
At a strangers exclamation, she
laughs in glee, and as the saying
goes, "gets a kick out Of IT," All OF
her most valuable energy is being
wasted. Even now, to the suggestion
that she is a good girl, she defiant
ly explains she is a bad girl and
proceeds to demonstrate the truth
of her words.
Her reaction is no different from
that Of hundreds Of other human
beings who, without sufficient cause,
get a "bad name" and afterwards
live up to the reputation given them.
At first, it is only a matter Of mis-
directed energy. Fortunately, as far
as little children are concerned.
there's remedy. Wise mothers will
keep boys and girls busy at useful,
harmless stasks.
