BILLY MINK HUNTS IN VAIN

IN VAIN Billy Mink searched for
1 rats in the big barn. The smell
Of them was everywhere, but the
rats themselves had disappeared
completely. Time after time, fol-
lowing a trail, Billy was led to the
opening out Of doors under the barn.
It was clear that all the rats had
left the big barn and that all had
gone out the same way.
They've moved off somewhere, I"
thought Billy. 81 frightened them
so that they didn't dare stay here
any longer. All have gone, young,
old, big little, and middle-sized.
There is no fun left for me here in

worse than that. They have so
many babies at a time and have
them so often that there is danger
that they will drive their honest
neighbors off the earth. Yes, I think
I'll follow them"
Billy cautiously Loked his head
through the opening that led out
of doors. Then he blinked with
surprise. Outside everything was
spotlessly white. It was showing. It
had been showing for some time.
Not a footprint Of a single rat was
to be seen. Moreover, there was no
scent for Billy to follow by means
Of his wonderful nose. The snow

DO THE LINES IN OUR FACES
REVEAL THE EMOTIONS
THAT DOMINATE US?

OUR emotions are registered
~ quite accurately on our faces.
Actors practice certain facial ex-
pressions in order to portray GER
tain characteristics, and paint lines
on their faces to suggest the emo
tions desired. The same sets Of
muscles are used in expressing both
happiness and sorrow, hate or joy
but they are used in a different way.
People who are usually cheerful,
eventually develop lines in the face
that suggest this, and as old age
with all its wrinkles comes on them,
they have still q pleasant face.
People who are constant grouches,
always worrying, and never happy
develop lines that suggest these
emotions. The face is the mirror
of our characteristic emotional life.

unlike all other weapons. its blade

He kept his discovery secret

Nothing more was heard about the

World war broke out. Then the
Allies learned to their sorrow all

straighter and farther than those of

A Monument to a Beetle

A Monument to q Beetle
IT'S hard to believe, but tn e
l citizens of Enterprise, Alabama.
have erected a fine-looking monu-
ment in their town to a beetle.
The beetle is the boil weevil, about
the most destructive insect there is.
On the monument is engraved
these words: I'm profound appreci-
alton of the. boil weevil and what
it has done as the herald of pros
perity." What happened in Enter
prise was the boil weevils got so
they ate up so much of the local
cotton crop the farmers in despair
finally began to grow other crops
the weevil didn't eat. Much to their
surprise, their total income from
crop sales soon jumped to triple
the amounts they had received in
the best cotton years. So the boil
weevil had done them left-handed
good favor.
The boil weevil was imported into
the United States from Central
America. It was first noted near
Brownsville, Texas. about 1892. Be-
cause it is immune to most ordinary
insecticides, it has run rampant
throughout the cotton fields Of the
South, eating up millions
of dollars worth Of crops every year.
Literally thousands of small farm
ers have been ruined through its
ravages.
In addition to the boil weevil, the
price of cotton has been SO low
in recent years as to render its
growing Improbable for many
farmers. Thus they have bee
forced to diversity their crops.

The first inn definitely recognized
as a modern first-class hotel was
the fremont house in Boston. Mass,
opened in October, 1929. It con-
tanned ITO rooms, and its rate was
81 day, including four meals.
Travelling men considered it a
rare privilege to be permitted to
rent single room instead Of doub-
ling up with strangers. Some OF
the innovations made by the Ire
mont house were an individual key
for each room, a wash bowl and a
pitcher filled with fresh water daily.
Z Gas lights were another attrac-
ton. A mild sensation was created
when they offered to give free
cake of soap to each and every
guest. And the biggest sensation Of
all was "a fine supply Of running
water in the eight bathing rooms in

The Trail of Truth
BY DOUGLAS MALLoCH

Mankind moves onward day by
day, aa
But some men grow impatient. They
Are like the lad who runs ahead
And scorns the path his elders
tread,
Deserts the trail the woods TO try,
Though there's road 10 travel by.
Yet he shall presently return,
Young error yet old truth shall
learn. ........ -
The marks Of other men remain, :
Their cairns erected on the plain.
Here high the shafts of honor LIFT.
Erected on the rock of thrift.
Impatient hands would change the
earth,
When it is men who must have
worth;
And you may pass a thousand laws,
Yea, even in righteous cause,
Yet statutes will not make state
While men still covet, men still hate.
We need not change the law, we
need
Not alter anything, indeed,
Except mems hearts = and even
they
Need not the dawn Of some new
day,
Need not new trails that men may
miss,
But men who better follow this.
