was crisp, for Jack Frost was abroad.
It was just such q night as a Coon
delights In to roam about. Bobby was
no exception. He wasn't especially
hungry, for he was fat with the good
living he had enjoyed all through the
Fall. He would eat anything especially
good he might find, but 1t really was
the fun Of. wandering about that was
leading him so far. He was that night
possessed Of the wandering foot.
So Bobby wandered this way and
that way, wherever fancy led him. He
played along the edge Of the Laugh
ing Pool. He thrust an arm into hol-
low logs and felt about for what he
might find there. He raked away
brown and yellow leaves in quest OF
q few sweet beechnuts that might have
been overlooked by other hungry folk.
And all the time he was getting far
ther and farther from the familiar
parts of the Green Forest that were
on Farmer Browns land.
He found signs that others OF his
own kind had been about and gave
the matter no further thought, for
he knew that on such q night as this
all Coons would be abroad. There
would not be many such nights. II
would not be long now to the COM
ing Of snow and ice and the time for
the long, dreamless sleep that is called
Information.
Once he met his big cousin, Bus
ter Bear. Buster waS also wandering
about somewhat aimlessly, but rather
more intent on finding something To
eat than was Bobby Coon. He still
needed more fat under his skin before
the ground should freeze solid. You
see, he, too, would sleep through the
Winter. Bobby was very polite to
Buster and took care to keep out OF
the latter's way.
1t was just a little later that Bobby
met another Coon. big stranger. He
| was friendly, and for q time they
travelled together. Then they wan
dered apart and Bobby saw no more
Of his chance acquaintance. That Is
he saw no more of him for a while.
1t was a lovely night. Bobby Coon
felt at peace with all the Great World.
And then rudely he was awakened.
Somewhere far behind him Dog be-
gan barking. 1t was then that Bobby
awoke to the fact that he was no
longer where he was safe from hunt

stories about the most widely known
weeds. You will be surprised to learn
what . part they play in the cost OF
living.
Weeds, it is said, are plants that
Insist on growing where they are not
wanted. And they are plants for which
no economic use has been discovered
They also have been called the gypsies
OF the plant world, making themselves
happy and contented wherever the
wind drops them.
The presence of certain weeds on
land lowers its value. An alert farmer
who knows his weeds, is fully aware
Of what vital part they play in the
profit he Is to enjoy from his invest
ment in money and time.
Weed seeds, mingled with those
Of harvested crops, cause losses to the
States as much as $50,000,000 annu-
ally. For example, weeds cost the
rice farmers Of Louisiana over $l56, ,000
Q year.
Iowa's losses are slightly over $50
100000 due to weeds, and Minnesota
loses around 100000 through the
presence of weed seeds in small grain
grown in that State.
We, who are interested in conser-
vation and the cost Of living, must
check up on some of Natures chill
dren. Once you know the truth about
any subject, you, at least, have q
firm foundation on which to build
It Is said there Is no royal road to
weed control. You have three ways
20 handle the invaders-first, by pre-
venting them from going to seed on
the ground you are cultivating, at
least; see that they are not brought
In, and prevent the perennials from
making top growth.
Weeds among your plants use up
the food In the soil, crowd the roots,
and often deprive the valuable plant Of
its full amount Of sunshine. Many
weeds are poisonous to cattle and
the seeds found in cerials cause great
Losses. Besides, they harbor . vast
army Of insect pests and fungi.
In order to succeed, you must be
resourceful. This fact has been de-
veioped to Q fine point by the weed
tribe For they have perfected modes
of travel for their children that are
amazing. They have hooks, barbs,
parachutes, floats, teeth and sticky
substance, to aid them In hitch
hiking. They use man, animal, bird.

Rutz, who has been student there for q year. Mia Rutz appeared in the 1884 production of the Passion Play as King Solomons Bride" in 0 tableau.
 Their performance was witnessed by President Hamilton Holt of Rol- lins in the summer of 1884 and, at the time, Dr. Holt invited both girls to come to Rollins. Amy was un- able to complete arrangements until this year, but Mia came last year. Both are popular with their fellow students.
 An ancestor of the Rutz sisters, Jakob Rutz, portrayed Christ in the first production of the Passion Play 300 years ago, in 1884. The music for the play, which has been used ever since 1911, was composed by Roghus Dealer, a great-great-unclc of the sisters. Both girls received good educations in Europe and both speak good English. Miss Amy Rutz is studying music and drama at Rollins.
 Miss Rutz' story of the Passion Play" and it's leading actors is told with dramatic quality and is full of those intimate details which take the audience "behind the scenes" !" She illustrates her lecture with lan- tern slides. She appears in her na- tive Bavarian costume.

 Father Parsons claims that the federal theater has many communi- ties in It's midst and that some of It's plays are open propaganda. He planes the situation on Mrs. Hallie Flanagan, director of the federal theater for the WPA.
 Father Parsons charged that the Federal Theater, "in order to &C., uuire responsibility" had listed the Rev. Francis x. Talbot, 8. J., It. erary editor of America, among the advisory committee for Chalk Duot," play concerning large schools as seen through the eyes of liberal instructors.

 "The advisory committee for this project" he said, has some interest," ing names: most of the Columbia university Left-Wing group, headed by John Dewey and George s. Counts, along with Roger Baldwin and Harry Elmer Barnes--and Father Francis x. Talbot. Father Talbot assures me with indignition that this use of his name was en- tirely unauthorized and that 1t was obviously done with some ulterior motive"
 Father Parsons could recall only two Federal Theater plays: Every man" and Murder in the Cathe- dral" that were free of "the class struggle taint".
 Responsibility
 "The Federal Theater contains more hilarious comedy than any, thing 1t can ever hope to put on the stage" he said. Free speech, art, the Moscow Theater, riots, meetings hundreds of them, bewildered pro- fessional actors tossed on an un- comprehending sea of revolution, projects started, rehearsed and aban- doned, empty theaters running up huge bills, all come tumbling out of it--Hollywood at its widest never saw anything like it..
 "The responsibility for this situa- ton lies squarely at the door of the Federal Administrator, Mrs. Hallie Flanagan, of Vassar College, who seems to have brought back from her visit to Russia something more than a passion for "stylized" acting and the Moscow Theater."
