Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Spratt,
those famous connoisseurs of the
fat and the lean, have their own
individual tastes in cheese too.
So far as American cheese
tastes are concerned, both Mr..
and Mrs. Spratt prefer American
cheese to all other types, but Jack
likes more of it than his wife. He
eats more mild-fiavored, and more
sharp-favored American than
Mrs. Spratt. But they eat the
same amounts of Northumberland

Swiss cheese is the second
most popular cheese in America.

TED GAYNOR paused as he was

long ride to his home, to arrange
for moving his mother and sister
to their new quarters.
He glanced down toward Kay's
log cabin. On impulse he left his
horse and went dnwn to it. He
knocked and received no response.
Finding the door locked, he made
for the bunk house on the run. As
he sprang up the steps, he nearly
collided with Seth.

Something's got me worried, "
Ted explained. Il tried to find
Kay, but she's off somewhere.

clared. "As far as can see, that's

and we ought TO make sure there's

Just the same, I'd be lot easier

Because il we can scrape up $25,
