~ LILY MINK Is a rover. He is
= not one of those persons who
like to stay put in one place.
- No, sir. none of that for Billy
Mink. He wants to be travelling. The
result is you may meet him in the
Green Forest, you may meet him along
the Big River. you may meet him
anywhere along the Laughing Brook.
You may even meet him up in Farmer
Browns dooryard, around the barn or
the hen house There is no knowing
where or when Billy Mink will bob up.
1t was a long time since Billy Mink
had been up the Laughing Brook far
enough to reach the ponds of Paddy
the Beaver, deep in the Green For
est. He had been down the Laughing
Brook to the Big River, and up and
down the Big River for some distance
each way. He had made many side
trips. Getting a living was an easy
matter In the water there were al
ways fish or frogs. Sometimes he
hunted Meadow Mice out there. At
this season Of the year Billy Mink
lived easily and he lived high.
Billy sat on the Big Rock in the
Smiling Pool. He often sits on the
Big Rock. He had just had good
breakfast of a fine trout he had
caught. He was trying to make up his
mind where to 60 next. Jerry Musk
rat came swimming along. Hello
Jerry" said Billy. whats the news?'
There is none that know of, un-
less it is news that yesterday I saw
your big cousin, Little Joe Otter. or
his way to the Big River. He sat or
the Big Rock, just as you are doing
now"
THAT settles it," said Billy.

Jerry.

- HIS wise looking "sawback" Is
the only species OF keeled or
plated lizard that has a wide
l. distribution north Of Mexico.
He Is to be found throughout the Pa
cific Coast region, from British Co.
lumbia southwark to lower California,
inclusive. He also ranges eastward
into Texas and from there into Mex
leo and Central America.
BY his alert expression and tilted
head you naturally infer this fellow
is no dullard Speeding Is his usual
rate of travel, though even he is left
behind by the swiftS and sinks, his
relatives once removed.
His life story Is very similar to that
of his cousins, who are to be found
over our country at large. They oc-
cupy such places as forests, Helts OF
chapparal, rocky situations. and
even in elevations 1000 to 5000 .eet
above sea level.
In order to escape undue attention
the color scheme blends perfectly with
the scenery about him. The olive
brown back, with many dark, wavy
cross bands bordered in white, the
greenish white abdomen. and the soft
folds of skin on the sides with their
rounded patches Of white. carry out
the idea to perfection. The scales OF
the upper surfaces and the tapering
tail are strongly keeled. Those on the
abdomen are oblong, highly polished
and arranged In the same ringlikt
form, typical OF this family.
Without doubt, the outstanding
point of interest in these creatures
is their universal practice Of tossint
away their tails! Just picture 1t

one does not come up to the specifi-

pretty good imitation at that.
AS you perhaps know. many lizards
part with their tails upon the least
provocation. Yet most of them hold
on to their "tailpieces" until foes
seize them there. But the keeled liz
ards, when danger threatens, non
chalantly toss theirs TO their pursuers
and make a quick, though tailless exit.

Lightweight per cent of all farms
are still without electric service from

utilities realize that farm electri-
fication is one of their best fields for
service. But their efforts in this direc-
ton have been hampered by their
inability to raise money for rural line
extensions. Increasing taxes, govern
ment competition, and forced rate re-
auctions so injure the credit of utili-
ties that investors hesitate to put
money into this industry.

gomery County where a free cost ex-
tension is limited to 100 feet, fact
of no Importance in rural territory.
Incidentally the above advertisement
is part of an organized propaganda
campaign, intended to defeat the util-
ity regulation bill now before Con-
gress and to discredit the Presidents
rural electriication projects.
One, however, is invited to believe
that were itAnot for President Roose-

his sincere and conscientious efforts
in behalf of rural Identification that
every farmer would have power and

Of course this is absurd and for

sense of humor that will permit them
to see the hole in the doughnut
Every rural resident whose build
ings are further than 100 feet from a
main line extension knows the most
unreasonable charges demanded fer
both public and private extensions.
Most know the fees were so great
that they could not justify or afford
the expenditure. Others have become

the utility companies and consequent

some cases, and for nominal sums in
others, All know, or have felt, the
power companies were extracting
from them an extortionate fee for an

Of the five billion dollar public
works bill one hundred million is ear
marked for extension of electricity to
farms.
All farmers or rural residents de-
string light and power connections but
unable to finance extension should
furnish their name and location of
farm to this column together with
such information as to uses you would
make of the power, distance from
nearest power line, size of farm,
number of buildings to be lighted etc.
This information will be compiled and
placed in the hands of a competent
authority of the Federal Power Com
mission Immediately.
A most prominent retired New
York business man, who has devoted
his entire life to the study of COM
modities has just made statement to
the effect that should the devastating
drought in the west and the freezing
and inclement weather of the east
continue, together with further prom
iscous slaughter of cattle and hogs
and additional crop curtailments, the
people of this country will be on food
rations before the summer Of 1856.
This statement is seemingly far
fetched and far cry from the creak-
ing SURPRISES of year or two ago,
yet just such situation has been
known to occur before.
The farmers of this state received
thru Feb. 20, 1885, $554,774.12 as
rental and benefit payments in con-
nection with their wheat acreage re-
duction contracts. This total is less
than 10 of the 500, 555, 04O.05 expend-
ed by the government throughout the
nation.
Maryland farmers received the in
consequential sum of $414,543.70 for
corn-hog reduction benefits compared
with 1928, 453, O54.35 for the entire
country.
Those least affected were Maine
whose farmers received only 100000
and Rhode Island $2,864.29. Both Of
these states participated only in the
corn hog benefit plan.
