life. Now you know little maps like
that give very little rest. And it is
dreadful to close your eyes wonder.
ing if you will ever open them again.
1t was no wonder that Jumper grew
thin.
1t would not have been so bad il
Reddy had been content to hunt
him in the day time only. But he
wasn't. You know Reddy can see
in the night. And so he hunted by
day or night, whenever he felt like
it, and so of course poor Jumper
never knew when he might safely
sleep. He kept to the deepest part
of the Green Forest, hoping that
Reddy would not hunt for him there.
You know Reddy is more fond of
the edge of the Green Forest than he
is Of the deep, dark lonesome parts.
But he had made up his mind to
catch Jumper, and so now he fol-
lowed Jumper to his most lonely
hiding places.
It really was quite dreadful for
Jumper, and yet it would have been
worse for some others had they
been in his place. You see, bad as
it was, it wasn't quite as bad as
things had been in the Great Woods,
where Reddy had lived before
coming down to the Green Forest.
There he had had to watch out ev-
cry minute for Tufty the Lynx and
Howler the Wolf and Mr.. Fisher
and Mr.. Wolverine, which was, Of
course, much worse than having
just Reddy Fox to watch out for.
So he had grown used to being al
ways in danger. But since he had
come to live in the Green Forest
he had felt so much safer and life
had been so much easier that now
it came very hard to go back to the
old way of living.
So Jumper the Hare lost his appe-
tite and couldn't sleep and grew
thinner and thinner in the beautiful
springtime. And so it was that
the fun that his friends and neigh
bors were having in teasing and
making fun of Reddy Fox was
really the cause of all the trouble
that had come to Jumper the Hare,
and he was too polite to tell them
how it was.

JUMPER THE HARE
CANNOT SLEEP

JUMPER THE HARE was grow.
- ing thin. Yes, sir, he was grow.
ing thin. He never had been very
fat, but now he was thinner than
ever and getting more so every day.
What was making him? Why, just
worry. That is adjust worry.
Here it was the beautiful spring
time and plenty to eat, yet Jumper
was growing thin. Very few people
have a good appetite when they are
worried. It was that way with
Jumper. He just couldn't eat much,
and what was almost as bad, he
couldn't sleep much. Now eating
and sleeping are what make people
fat, and whoever cannot eat and
cannot sleep is bound to grow thin.
And so Jumper grew thinner and
thinner, while almost everybody
else grew fat.
It was all because Of Reddy Fox.
Reddy had made up his mind that
he was going to catch Jumper the
Hare and Jumper knew it. Now
Jumper can outrun Reddy Fox, and
when it comes to a race he isn't
the least bit afraid. But Reddy is
sly, very sly. He knew better than
to try to catch Jumper by chasing
him. He knew that he would have
to catch him by. surprising him
when he was asleep, or by hiding
close to some place where Jumper
was in the habit Of eating.
Jumper knew that, too. Of course
he did. He knew just as well as
Reddy did that Reddy couldn't
catch him in a race. He felt per-
fectly safe as long as he could see
Reddy or knew exactly where he
was. But at all other times he
worried. You see, he didn't know
but Reddy might jump out from be-
hind any bush or tree, and so he
had to be on watch every minute he
was awake. That was bad enough,
but what was worse was the fact
that he didn't dare sleep. Of course,
ne had to sleep some, but it was in
little maps from which the merest
:ustle of a leaf would waken him
all ready to jump and run for his

Advertising Reduced Cost

A third of a century ago the
price of the cheapest automobile
was about $4,000. Today a much
better car can be bought for
around $500. Advertising created
demand, demand created mass
production, with many times the
number of jobs, and mass pro-
