man who came to -Hcndersonville
last week to explain the impor-

this states seed bill was estimat-

This sum prorated among 100
counties would mean Importation
of seeds ut cost of 100000.
Due to our trucking activities |

vegetable and garden seeds than
the average county.

ETER RABBIT had heard .
u song that had seemed to drop
down to him from out Of the
L sky. He had heard 1t when he
was over in the alder thicket, where
the Laughing Brook enters the Smil-
ing Pool. As If q song In the sky
wasn't mysterious enough, It had been
In the dusk Of early evening, when
quite too dark for Peter to see who the
singer was. Who could 1t have been?
Who would 60 up In the sky to sing?
And who would sing after dark?
These were questions to which Peter
couldn't find the answers and they
bothered him. They bothered him a
great deal. He was mystifled, and he
didn't like being mystifled.
Probably that singer, whoever 1t
was, wasn't up in the sky at AL. Prob
ably he was in the top Of tall tree.
You wouldn't know the difference" ,"
said little Mrs. Peter testify, for she
knew that until Peter forgot about this
mysterious singer or found out who
he was there would be no keeping
him at home in the dear Old Briar-
patch.
There are no tall trees there"
replied Peter.
Then it must have been some one

Peter shook his head. "No, it
couldn't have been,' said he.
Why couldn't it have been?" de-
manded Mrs. Peter.
1t was Peters turn to ask a ques-
ton. Did you ever hear one OF the
feathered folk sing, really sing, when
flying over at night?" he asked mildly.
Mrs. Peter had to admit that she
never had. But I've heard them
call" she added.
"Oh, that! OF course, you have.
So have I, dozens Of times. But call
ing to one another isn't singing" re-
piled Peter scornfully. Il tell you
what I heard was a song, real
song. Whoever the singer was, he
can sing, really sing"

he had that mysterious singer on his

He visited the Old Pasture. He Wis
tied the Green Forest. He visited
the Smiling Pool Wherever he hap
pened to be, he kept listening for
that mysterious song. Not even a
suggestion Of It did he hear anywhere
until, in the dusk Of y quiet evening,
he once more sat in the alder thicket
rear the Ssriling Pool, and the
chorus Of the singing Hylas had been
stopped by some alarm Then once
more he heard those whistling notes,

melody Of that mysterious song SEEM

triumphantly.
"Bubbling Bob the Bobolink sings
in the air" asserted Mrs. Peter.
He isn't here yet. Besides, he
doesn't sing at night" retorted Peter.
All this argument served to in
crease Peters curiosity. He asked all
his feathered friends who chanced
to visit the dear old Briar-patch If
they knew who the mysterious singer
was. None knew. 1t seemed that
most, If not all, OF them retired for
the night when the Black Shadows

WRIGLEY TALKS
WITH LAzzERI

CHICAGO, Oct. % GNS).
Amid all the build-up of suspense
that is usually kept for the dick
ering on a heavyweight prizefight,
Tony Lazzeri and Own,r Phil K.
Wrigley of the Cubs will get to-
gether at last today.
The exact reason for their con-
fab, however, still remained as
much a mystery as the day when
Lazzeri was given his release
from the Yankees and Wrigley
admitted he wanted to talk to the
veteran star.
Much speculation in the hoS-
stove league evolved seVeral
theories, some not so plausible
and some even less SO. One is
that Wrigley intended to inaugu-
rate a farm" program for his
National Leaguers and Lazzeri
was slated to take charge.
Another possibility was that
Tony would see duty this year as
a coach and utility infielder as
grooming for the managerial post
a year hence of Charlie Grimm,
who would be upped into a vice
presidential post in the club.
Whatever the outcome, it was
likely that Lazzeri already had a
definite idea of the offer, salary
included, to make him take the
long trip here from his home on
the West Coast.
