they seek their home for rest and

Knowing well the value Of sunshine
they may often be seen enjoying a

It Is believed that owls mate for life,
at least they live together for many
years, as has been proven on many
occasions. What is the cause for sep
aration or divorce, remains a mystery.
Whenever it is possible, the same
home is used during the lifetime of
the couple. 1t may at one time have
been the home of an industrious wood
pecker. The owls not being fastidious,
the home Is rarely given a thorough
cleaning once day. and often when
the same home is being used as a
nursery, 1t is far from sanitary.
There are four, sometimes five white
eggs, laid on a mattress of leaves, grass
and sticks. They can easily be seen
at the bottom of the dark cavity.
The babies look like their parents.
Sometimes the parents are Of different
color phases. and some of the children
will resemble mother, others father
1t is little confusing to beginners, if

blazing eyes, splitting defiance.

was Bobby's own tail that that Dog

that the Dog had kept right on fol-

That exclamation was caused by his
finding the trail of the other Coon
where it had joined his own. Pres
emily he came to big tree, a very
tall and very big tree. The double
trail ended right there. Beyond was
only Bobby's own trail, with that Of
the Dog following it. Bobby turned
back to the big tree and paused at
the foot of it. Then he chcled it. A
Coon had gone up that tree. but none
had come down. Bobby grinned. He
guessed that that other Coon was up
in the tree right then. Bobby started

That Dog was coming fast. The
trail was hot. That Is, the scent wEs
strong in his wonderful nose. He
yelped with almost every breath. He
reached the foot Of the great tree that
the other Coon had climbed. He
shifted at the trunk. Bobbys scent

tree was strong. The Dog no longer
sought for the scent on the ground
He knew that . Coon had gone up

there now. The Dog began to dance
about at the foot OF the tree and the
sound Of his bark changed. It was
no longer a yelp but q steady bark.
He was telling his master that he had
freed that Coon.
There were the shouts of men, and
presently several were gathered at the

their voices and could see the light OF

bid two no-trump, and now it was up
to his partner. North had . very
sound opening bid Of his own. In ad.
dition, his partner had opened the
bidding and then rebid to two no
trump-hence, slam did not appear
remote. Therefore North made the
bid of four no-trump, a mild slam
invitation.
South, of course, promptly passed,
and against that contract West opened
the jack Of hearts. When the queen
failed to hold, South refused the first
two leads. and after winning the
third, ducked a club in dummy, in
the hope that East held no more
hearts. Unfortunately, East cashed
the remaining heart, which set the
contract.
While the partnership had tossed
away game. the entire fault was
South's. Had he held the slight addi-
tional values which his two no-trump
bid showed, he would easily have made
his contract and, in fact, quite possibly
a slam. For instance, had South held
the queen of clubs, four no-trump
could not have been defeated, and the
addition of the jack of hearts would
have enabled him to make a slam. In
other words, the addition of q queen
(of either hearts or clubs) made all
the difference between q sound and an
unSound bid.

Postmaster Predicts l036 Business Will Equal
 1929 Record Mark

A steady increase in postal receipts which If 1t continues is expected to reach figures for the peak year of 1920 was reported today by Pcst- master Charles A. Babin. A recog- nixed business barometer, the re- ceipts for the past month have ex- ceeded by l5.8 per cent receipts for a similar period of last year, and lend support to recent statements from business leaders to the effect that this year for the first time since the beginning the depression, there will be no summer slump"
 Approaching Record
 Receipts for July amounted to $44,376,8l, an increase over July. 1885, of $6O7l.l9. Receipts for the first seven months of this year, ac- cording to the postmaster'S report. were $294,596.S7. A continued in- crease at this rate, according to Mir. Babin, will mean that the 1929 peak year figure of $S67,000, will be equal- led.
 The postmaster also reported that the sale of United States Savings bonds during July reached new high leeVel of $l6.000, which is dou- ble the amount sold In March, sec- ond best month on record at tho post office during the current year,
