getting neare.. and nearer home
spurred him on. He flew steadily,
merely stopping to hunt for necessary
food. When the Black Shadows came
creeping out that first evening Blacky
settled himself in pine tree, tired but
happy.
So day by day he made his way
homeward until at last he reached the
end of the Green Meadows and could
see the Old Pasture, and the Green
Forest way out. Then it was that
Blacky became very, very cautious.
Was Terror the Goshawk still living in
the Green Forest? He wished he
knew 1t wasn't that Terror would
spend any time hunting for him. He
knew that Terror would pay no atten-
tion to him at all if Terror had had
enough to eat. His great fear was that
Terror might be half starved, in which
case a Crow would be better than
nothing.
Blacky beat his way over toward
the Old Pasture. 1t was still snow
covered and very Wintry looking.
Presently he saw spot of red.
"Ha! There's Reddy Fox" said Blacky
to himself. Then he opened his mouth
and called. "Caw-caw-caw" cried
Blacky. Reddy stopped abruptly. He
waited. well. well, well, see who's
here!" he exclaimed as Blacky alighted
in tree just above him. "Wherve
you been all those weeks?"
Blacky explained. Then he asked
eagerly. whats the news around
here?"
There isn't any news" replied
Reddy with grin. I'VE are still hav-
ing hard times and most of us are
hungry, but this has been the case so
long that it is no longer news"
II can tell you some news" said
Blacky. Whitley the Snowy Owl isn't
up here any longer"
THAT isn't news either" replied
Reddy. Hes been gone for some
time. certainly didn't feel bad when
he left. Having him around made 1t
just so much harder for Mrs. Reddy
and myself. It certainly was q relief
to find that he had left. Then when
Terror the Goshawk left"

REALTY MARKET RISE
INDICATIONS ARE GIVEN

Another convincing indication of
the improvement in the real estate
market is seen in the action of the
Prudential Insurance Co., which has
notified agents handling its real
estate holdings that the price of every
property will be higher after March
l. The increase will range from 10
to 20 per cent.
The mark-up is attributed to the
rising demand for real estate, particu-
larly in the residential field. The prop
erty offered is that which the COM
pany has been forced to take over in
the last few years to protect its mort
gage investments.

he had decided that he would go back

able to find enough to eat as he went
along. It certainly did seem good to
be headed toward home. Were you

Then you know what that home
going feeling is and just how Blacky
felt.
Blacky remembered the places where
he had spent nights on his way to the

have to worry about that. When he
had come down he had had COM

STANDARDS SET
Chicago Industry Provides
Public With Data to
Give Protection.

In order to protect the public
against Misrepresentation in the sale
of air-conditioning equipment as well
as to establish fair competitive con-
ditions, representatives of nine tech
nical societies and associations have
drawn up the Chicago Air Condition
ing Standards, according to the
Plumbing 81 Heating Industries Bu-
reau
The definition of air conditioning
as set forth in the standards reads as
follows: For the purpose of these
standards, air conditioning Is defined
as the process by which the tempera-
ture, moisture content, movement and
cleanliness of the air In inclosed oc-
cupied spaces intended for human &C.
cupancy are maintained within def
mite required limits"
John Howatt, president of the Amer
lean Society of Heating and Ventilat-
ing Engineers. is chairman of the con-
vention.
Mr. Howatt has issued the follow
ing statement in explanation of the
significance of the standards to the
public and to the industry:
Every new, live, and rapidly grow
ing industry attracts to it firms and
individuals that do more harm than
good to the industry. The air-condi-
tioning field is no exception. A great
amount of publicity given to it and
the misconception of profits that lie in
it have attracted to this field firms
and individuals VINO are not qualified
by training or experience and who do
not have the proper viewpoint and
who will do the industry irreparable
harm unless steps are taken to correct
the condition that now exists.
"Th1 public Is not aware Of the
limitations of air conditioning; it is
not aware that air conditioning can be
purchased in part or in whole and
furnished in different degrees of ex-
cellence
"Only through adoption of defini-
tions and minimum standards of air
conditioning that can be popularized
and that can be enforced will there be
provided that protection that the
industry now needs.
"A Detter puDuc UNDERSTANDING OF
these things will stop misleading
advertising on the part of manu-
facturers of equipment and will stop
agents and owners of buildings ad-
vertising homes or Offices as air con-
ditionet unless qualified by stating
the degree of air conditioning offered.
THE Chicago Air Conditioning
Standards were drawn up in an at
tempt to correct the evil in this
community. These standards mean a
square deal for the public and for
the all conditioning industry.
THE standards drawn up by the
committee not only clarity Technology
in so far as the public is concerned.
but tend to create conditions under
which competition may be fair. The
standards offer protection to the en-
gineer, architect and manufacturer
in tina they put all bidders on the
same basis"
The standards formulated by the
committee have been published in an
elght-page pamphlet, copies of which
may be obtained free of charge from

Persecution Spreads Christianity,
Acts 7:59-8:4; Peter 4:12-19, for
Sunday, July &c:
Stephen was charged with BIAS
phemy for saying that the temple
would be destroyed and the customs
of Moses changed. At his trial
Stephen finally rebuked the Sanhed-
rim for resisting the Holy Spirit and
for failure to keep their own law.
This made them furious. Then,
when told of his vision of Christ,
they were frenzied with rage and
cast him out Of the city and stoned
him.

calling upon God, and saying, Lord,

having called on God in the past

V. CO. "And he kneeled down,
and cried with loud voice, Lord
lay not this sin to their charge. And
when he said this, he fell asleep. !"
Being a true follower of the Lord he
prayed like Him when dying. The

Great Grange Victory For The
Rural Welfare

One of the greatest victories the
grange has ever won in behal1 OF
the rural welfare was brought about
in the closing days of the last ses-
sion of congress, in the passage OF
the bill which continues approprla-
tions for vocational education, be-
sides enlarging the scope of this
work and thus bringing to boys ana
girls in the country dlstrlcts ol
America privileges or training ior
head and hand that would otherwise
have been denied them. Such en-
larged appropriations were frowned
upon by the budget director ana
other financial powers and there
seemed no possibility of getting the
money for continuing this worthy
educational work. Whereupon the
grange-always the sponsor of TINS
sort Of education-got into the ngh.
with all it's energy and hundreds OF
subordinate oranges, great numDe
of Pomona organizations, and prac-
tically all the 35 state oranges pc
gan to lombard senator's ana con-
gressmen with letters and kilograms,
urging the passage OF the george
Deem bill, which provides Tor sucn
appropriations in the years aheaa.
The result of this agitation was I'M
mediately felt and in spite of all the
opposition thereto legislative VIC
tory was achieved. Pressure was
put upon the president to sign the
bill, which he very shortly did, even
against the urging of his hnancial
advisers.
This is the third big fight the
grange has put up to save and ex-
tend vocational education, having
been through it in the adminlstra-
tions of Coolidge, Hoover and Roose-
welt, and every time it has won out
handsomely. In consequence hun
dreds of letters and kilograms nave
come to the office of National Mas
ter Louis J. Taber, commencing the
work of the grange and it's officers
in defending vocational education
in it's hour of need. Boys and girls
everywhere in the rural areas of the
United States-more than a million
of them now enrolled in vocational
education classes-owe mighty
debt to the grange for it's vital in
