was the first one. That light thump
had been made by the landing on the
trunk of that tree of Mrs. Timmy the
Flying Squirrel. She had leaped from
high up in an adjoining tree. from
which she had been watching the dis
aster which had befallen her home.

little mother. I can imagine just how

wouldn't have disturbed that nest for
the world had suspected it was occu-
pied"
Meanwhile, Mrs Timmy was cling
ing to the trunk of the tree 1attened
out, as only Flying Squirrel can
f1atteu out. In her great, dark, soft
eyes were fear. anxiety and pleading
Farmer Browns Boy always has said
that she talked with her eyes. You
see she couldn't talk with him in any
other way, but she didn't need to.
Evening star., 1936-05-30

Farmer Browns Boy understood that
pleading. She was begging him not
to harm them, but to give them back
to her. Under her dainty, smooth coat
her heart was beating heavily with
fright. Farmer Browns Boy could see
the motion of it and he understood 1t.
Don't be so frightened, my dear"
said he in soothing tone Il won't
hurt your babies. You shall have
them back unharmed. don't know
just how I'm going to get that nest
back into that house, and when I do
I guess you'll have to make it all over
again, but you may be sure I'm going
TO put 1t back and your babies with it."
Suddenly Mrs. Timmy jumped to
the ground, seized a mouthful of that
material, ran to the top Of tree, set
sail from there, and glided down to
the foot of another tree perhaps so
feet away. She climbed down to near
;he foot of another tree so feet beyond >
Up this she climbed and disappeared
in an old Woodpecker hole half way
up the tree. In a moment she reap
peared, climbed to the top and in two
more glides was back to where Farmer
Browns Boy stood watching In open
mouthed surprise and wonder. Again
she made the trip with another
mouthful Of nesting material.
Well" said Farmer Browns Bow,
Il don't know as I'll put this nest
back after all. 1t looks to me as IL
Mrs. Timmy has made up her mind to
move. I'll just put the rest Of the
nest on the ground and see what she
will do with the babies. I wonder if
she expects to move her little family
up in that tree. She's a brave little
mother, anyway"
Once more Mrs. Timmy was back
on the trunk of that tree close beside
Farmer Browns Boy, and once more
those dark. soft eyes were searching
his face pleadingly. 1t came to him
suddenly that she was begging for her
babies. You see. he was still holding
them in his hands.

SAVING INSURANCE
FEE TO Be BOOSTED
1000 Associations Are Mott
fled Present Rate Applies
Until June 27.

Some 1000 savings, building and
loan associations throughout the
country are being notified that #
they desire to apply for shareholders s
and depositors' insurance, they must
file application with the Federal Saw
ings & Loan Insurance Corp, by June
27, or pay an admission fee greater
than the present charge Notices to
this effect were issued by the IL Fed
eral Home Loan Banks to institutions
of the thrift and home financing type
located in their regions.
To assure equitable treatment to
insured associations the law creating
the insurance corporation, approved
June 81, 1884, requires that it charge
an admission fee to applicant insti-
tutions commensurate with the re-
serves of the corporation accumulated
from the premiums paid by insured as
Sociations in previous years. The pres
ent fee is 1-50 of l per cent of the
aggregate amount of all share liabili-
ties and creditor obligations of the
applying institution.
The rapid growth of the reserves
of the insurance corporation, since
the first associations were insured late
in 1884, accounts for the prospective
increase in the admission charge.
Up to May Is, more than 1900 saw
ings, building and loan associations
both Federal and State chartered, rep
resenting assets of Sl195 .OOO. 600 and
some 100000 investors, had applied
for the added protection of insurance
of shares. Institutions to the number
of 1924 in approximately A States

HOOSIER DENIES
SOLDIERS SHOT
FUGITIVE BOOTH
Edinburg Resident Asserts
LinCoIn's Killer Lived in
His Home.

The old argument as to whether
Federal soldiers killed John Wilkes
Booth. Abraham Lincoln's assassin,
was revived here today on the
Great Emancipator's birthday. by
John O. Clarke of Edinburg, who
claims to have entertained Booth in
his home several years after the
shooting.
Booth escaped to Indianapolis fol-
lowing the assassination, according
to Mr.. Clarke. and remained in hid
ing here several months. Then. UNI
der the name OF J. F. Armstrong, he
went to Columbus. was baptized by
the late Rev. J. T. Sweeney and
preached several sermons.
MIR. Clarke boarded the stranger
in his home for two weeks when he
came to Edinburg to preach, he said.
This man, Mr.. Clarke said, also
visited Charlottesville, and because
of his personal charm and forensic
ability became a great favorite
there.
Picture Identified Him
Curious of the identity of this
man, Mr.. Clarke became convinced
he was Booth when he saw a pic
ture of the plotter in Gen. Lew
Wallaces home in Charlottesville.
MY wife and I knew when we
saw that faded painting that Booth
and Armtrong we're the same man, -
Mr.. Clarke said. I spent several
years tracing this strangers wan
behring's and found he had gone 70
Mexico
Later he committed suicide in
Oklahoma. and left note admitting
his identity"
50-Year Argument
This was Mr. Clarke's contention
In the argument that has been
waeed among Older persons for so
years.
Indianapolis today observed Lin
coins birthday with programs in
schools and at club meetings.
Banks and county and municipal
offices were closed, and all WPA
laborers were granted a holiday.
