Bob White and Mrs. Bob had kept
toge ther. They had not flown great
distance, because they felt perfectly
safe. They had dropped down into
the grass. IT do hope" said Mrs.
Bob, that all the children remem-
bered not to fly over the fence"

Mrs. Bob nodded. eyes" said she,
"I heard it, and ever since I have
been fearful that something dreadful
has happened. We can find out by
giving the rally call to bring the chill
dren in. OF course, it is perfectly safe
to do that, because that hunter and
his Dog won't come over here"
Just then Bob White turned his
head to listen better and in his eyes
was a look of wonder and puzzlement.
He stretched to his full height the
better to look, and then suddenly
crouched close to the earth. Instinc-
lively Mrs. Bob crouched, too. I'VE
won't give that rally call now" whis-
pered Bob White. BE ready to take
to your wings. That Dog is looking
for U.S."
A moment later that Dog discov-
cred Bob and Mrs. Bob and came to a
point. Bob didn't wait. He took to
his stout wings, Mrs. Bob following
him. AS they whirred up into the
air they saw that hunter, with his
terrible gun, coming in their direc-
ton. It was then that they knew
that Farmer Browns farm was no
longer safe place. They didn't un-
derstand it at all, but there was the
hunter and there was his Dog. Sud-
denly Bob remembered the dear Old
Briar Patch. He headed for it. There
would be the safest place on all the
Green Meadows. You see, in the dear
Old Briar Patch were bramble tangles,
making wonderful hiding places SO
protected by thorny brambles that
not even a man with terrible gun
would care to try to make his way
through them.

- OMETHING was wrong. Some
thing was very wrong. BOD
White and Mrs. Bob didn't
- know what to think. Farmer
Browns farm was posted. This means
that there were signs warning peo-
pie that no hunters were allowed
on that farm. Therefore, Bob and
Mrs. Bob felt perfectly safe so long as
they remained on that farm. You see,
they had learned by experience that
they were not hunted there. They
had learned by experience in past
years that on one side of the fence
was safety and on the other side was
great danger. They had warned their
big family for this was the children's
first hunting season.
But now something was very, very
wrong. A hunter had climbed the
fence, and he, with his Dog ahead Of
him, was coming across the Green
Meadows. His Dog ran first this way,
then that wag, zigzagging, and run
ming with his nose lifted so as to
catch any scent of the Bob Whites
that a Merry Little Breeze might
bring along. 1t was the opening day
of the hunting season for Bob Whites
and that man was taking chance.
To go on anothers land where there
are notices forbidding this is to tres
pass. This hunter was treSpassing.
You see, he happened to know that
Farmer Brown and Farmer Browns
Boy had gone to the village and he
was taking the chance that he could
hunt over the farm before they re-
turned and that no one would be the
wiser.
The Bob Whites had been hiding,
huddled together in a brush-grown
corner, and, it was there that the
hunters Dog had found them, and
: the hunter had thrown a stone into
their midst to make them fly. Three
had forgotten the warning their
father had given them and had flown
over the fence. One had been killed
and one had been wounded and had
run for his life. He had managed to
hide where that Dog could not find
him. All the rest Of the family had
flown over onto the Green Meadows,
scattering as they few. 1t was the
sight Of so many of those plump,

Reopening the Bidding.
TN EXPERT games, when ones left
hand opponent opens the bidding
and the next two players pass, 1t
L is generally good policy to reopen
on a fairly weak hand for two reasons:
First, it Is quite possible that your
partner holds a good hand and Is
Trapping; secondly since the OPEN
ing bidders partner will always make
every effort to keep the bidding open.
the fact that he cannot do SO shows
that his hand must be practically
valueless.
Once in a while this practice Of re-
opening will prove disastrous, due to
the fact that the opening bidder holds
a rock-crusher and your partners
hand does not come up to expecta-
tions. But in the long run we believe
1t pays. The following hand, in which
Howard Schenken reopened, is a case
in point.
West, dealer.
Neither side vulnerable.

Since East could not respond to
his partners opening spade bid, Mr..
Schenken felt that his partner must
hold a goodly share of the missing
cards, and hence did not hesitate to
$ reopen with two clubs. Then, in
spite of his partners obvious lack
of strength, West felt that his hand
was worth another bid and called two
diamonds, over which North raised to
three clubs. After East passed, Mr..
Schenken made the daring bid Of
three no trump, reasoning that If his
partner held a spade stopper and
good club support, that contract could
be made. (After the hand was over,
Mr.. Schenken asked his partner what
he would have done had West doubled
three no trump, and North replied
Sfhat he would have redoubled. Mr..
Schenken then said, THE redouble
would be good bid, because other
wise I would have run out to four
clubs.")
In spite Of Vests strong hand,
three no trump could not be defeated.
A spade opening was won by Mr..
Schenken's 10 and, refusing the
finesse, he led a diamond to dummy's

Realistically, Ma. me and my

everything's okay!" With that salu-

mother, 18-year-old Lloyd Wood &C.
counted for his mysterious disappear
ance and absence Of five long days and
five long nights away from his downy
cot and family dinner table at the home
of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Wood, Huntington, West Virginia. The
"trusty steed" to which young Wood
made reference was his bicycle which he
pedaled 400 miles of the 900-mile trip
to Rochester, where he sought medical
aid Whenever the going by bicycle be-
came little rough. Wood hailed truck
drivers who helped him several hundred
miles along the way. Upon his arrival
he notified his distracted mother, who
had planned to notify police of her
sons disappearance. Young Wood re-
lated that year ago the varicose veins
in his right leg caused an infection and

How New Deal Imports
Hit Minnesota Farmers

In 1885 the United States i'm
ported the staggering total
of $1,106, 100000 in agricultural
products from foreign farmers to
replace American farm produce
kept out of the local market by
government order.
There are 203,302 farms in
Minnesota. If the farmers of
Minnesota had been allowed by
the New Deal government to pro-
duce this material, it would have
meant SIS, 440 additional income
for every farm in the state for
1885.
In the II chief agricultural
states of the nation there are
2,276, 991 farms. This foreign food
cheated every one of these farms
out of an additional income of
$486 during 1895 for crops they
could easily have produced if the
scarcity program had not been in
force.
The figures are from the U. S.
Department of Agriculture.

STATE SNOW
PLOWS READY
$50 Machines Prepared to Keep
State Highways Open to
Winter Traffic.

Approximately $50 snow plows are
ready for the annual task of keeping
Minnesota trunk highways open to
winter traffic, according to N. w. Els
berg state highway commissioner.
The plows are distributed among the
Is state highway maintenance districts.
The equipment consists of ia power
graders used in Slush and light snow;
95 one-way plowS which throw snow to
one side of the road only; 245 big Wee
type plowS which throw snow to both
sides and can cope with heavy SHOWS
and drifts; II truck mounted rotary
blower plows for extremely deep drifts.
The big v plows weigh more than a
ton each, and are attached to three to
such trucks work coupled together in
tandem while bucking drifts. Two five
ton trucks with a one-ton pillow in
front are capable of exerting terrific
force when launched into a drift.
During the past year a number of
three-ton trucks which had worn out
were replaced by four and five-ton
units to provide greater power for
battling snow on the 1880 miles of
trunk highways, Mr.. Elsberg said.
AS a preventative of blocked roads,
the highway department has erected
more than 1000 miles of snow fence
at locations where drifting occurs every
winter. The snow fence causes the
snow to form a drift away from the
highway, leaving the roadway clear.
To combat the dangers of ice coated
roads, the highway department has
placed 10000 cubic yards of gravel
and 100 tons of calcium chloride in
stockpiles at strategic locations through
out the state. From these piles high
way trucks spread the gravel over
slippery curves and hills to provide
traction for skidding tires. The chemi-
cal keeps the piled gravel loose and
disable and also helps it stick to the
roadway after spreading.
Last winter snow storms cost the
highway department more than $780,
900 in maintenance expense.
