And more reminders seldom neea.
JOHNNY CHUCK.

~ ERHAPS Johnny was not always
ready to take hint. It Is
one of those things most often
i learned through experience.
Johnny and Polly Chuck had,
as you know, dug for themselves
new home under the old stone wall
on the edge of the Old Orchard and
it was everything that q good home
for Woodchucks should be. Johnny
was wholly satisfied with it and Polly
no less so. It was Polly. you remem-
Der, who had chosen the location.
With the work of digging done
there was nothing to do but eat, sleep
and take life easy. At least that was
the way Johnny looked at it. Grass.

fought q war to hold Norway in the
union. Instead. she agreed to let
Norway do as Norway chose.
The history of Norway Is . long
one, and we shall take up only .
few points today. The people belong
to the old race Of Norsemen. or
Vikings, Of which the Danes and
Swedes are also members. Harold the
Fair Haired was the first monarch
and became King more than . thou
sand years ago. Later Haakon the Old
ruled the land, and he is famous In
Norwegian history.
There was 0 period when Norway,
Sweden and Denmark were united.

clover and other plants were growing
fast now. and he no longer had to
travel far in order to get enough to
eat. With that fine, comfortable new
home to share with Polly Chuck. he
had every reason to be satisfied and
contented. and he was. He had no

Then, like bolt of lightning from

no mistaking 1t. 1t was from Polly

The king Of spades was opened.
South took with the ace, discarded .
spade on the king of hearts after
cashing the ace and got rid of dunn
mys last spade by giving East the
queen Of hearts. He proceeded to
crossrun the hand from that point on,
winding up In his own hand with .
high heart and two high trumpe. Un-
fortunately, East held three trumps.
Result-Down one.
Vests spade overcan. knowing
West as I do, marks him for at least
five spades. Therefore the rest of his
hand Is probably unbalanced. More
over, percentages teach us that .
three-one split in . suit Is more COM
mon than . two-two division.
In view of all this, I would attempt
to set up the dummy rather than the
South hand. It is simple enough to
run out three diamonds from the
board, dropping the ace and leaving
this situation:

CHICAGO, Aug. 81 GN.S).
Bullish crop reports lifted wheat
prices nearly a cent q bushel aft

before September and May oats
and rye declined fractionally to
new lows for the season.

in the wheat crop of approximate
ly 50,O00,00O bushels during
August induced a fair volume Of
buying and short covering.
December wheat was bid up to
891ac to show gain of 7sc. Corn
recovered to above yesterdays
closing levels after declining
fractionally.
Near mid-seSsion wheat was "a
to Bc higher, corn unchanged to
Zee off and rye q to 5sc up.
Winnipeg wheat was unchanged
to H4c higher at mid-session while
Liverpool closed "a to "a pence
off.
The Miller-Bennett report placed
the total wheat crop in the U. S.
at 559,000,00O bushels compared
with 100000 bushels forecast
