~ EDDY is quite right about the
- importance of little things.
IN Very early in life he learned 70
4 y take note of trifles. and he
soon discovered that quite often what
at the time seemed a trif1e gave him
information that led to something
most important. Many times had this
habit of taking notice of little things
saved his life. You will agree that
this was important. most important to
him, anyway. And not few times
had little things led him to the md
ing Of a good meal.
Reddy was among those on whom
the ice storm had been most severe.
Getting a living in Winter isn't too
easy for Reddy at best, and he works
and works hard for all he gets. Mice
furnish him with very large share Of
his food. He hunts them on the
Green Meadows, in the Old Pasture
and in the Green Forest. But when
there Is snow, covered with an icy
crust over everything, there are no
Mice to catch. They are down
beneath that crust, very comfortable
and very safe. Then. too. that crust
is slippery, which makes getting about
swiftly rather difficult. And creeping
noiselessly through thickets where
every twig is incased in ice is i'm
possible. So an ice storm always
means a hard time, the hardest kind
OF hard time for Reddy and Mrs.
Reddy and all other Foxes.
Reddy was out hunting and trying
not to think of how very, very empty
was his stomach. 1T probably isn't
q bit of use to hunt until this ice
has melted, but there is always the
possibility of an unexpected chance
to catch dinner" said he to Mrs.
Reddy as they prepared to start out
In different directions.
Mrs Reddy nodded. TRUE" said
she. TITS slim chance, but there is
q chance. That is something we
haven't here. No dinner will come to
us If we stay at home. Good luck to
you, and if you catch good dinner,
save some for me-"
THE same for you," replied Reddy.
as they separated to 60 in opposite
directions.
Reddy went straight to the Green
Forest and began hunting along the
edge of it. BY and by he noticed
something moving on the crust. It
was a very small, dark something.
Had you or I been there in Reddy's
place, I doubt if either of us would
have noticed it. If we had, We would
have given it no attention.
Reddy's eyes are sharp. His wits
are Just as sharp. Whatever that was,

Natures Children
Tarpon (Tarpon atlanticus)
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

7 ANUARY is q hectic month for
many tarpon in Florida. The
angler with a few weeks va
~ cation and the one with the
whole Winter before him. spend every
waking moment trying to catch the
famous leaper.
Tarpon are rather nervous and
easily thrown into panic. At night
they love to take high jumps in the
air and a resounding whack assures
you the playful fish has struck the
water.
Along the Atlantic coast from Long
Island to Brazil and especially on
the coasts of Florida tarpon leap and
sport to their hearts content. 1t Is
. very common fish in Peurto Rico,
where it is said the younger genera
ton get their start in life
Reaching a length of two to six
feet, and weight of 80 to more than
800 pounds Is enough to interest any
angler. To many. the tarpon is the
Silver King. What a name to live
up to! As a game fish he reigns su-
prene.
Each year finds group of ardent
fishermen fortunate enough to spend
their Winters in the South, trying to
pass the last tarpon record. Each as
pirant for the prize dreams Of the
tarpon he will hook Hours spent try
ing to land the "whopper," strained
muscles, backaches and going with
out supper, are mere trif1es. when the
battle between man and fish is rag
ing.
Built along streamlines, the Silver
King goes through the water or air
with speed and accuracy. Strong
rods sharpened hooks to which new
6-foot wire leaders and swivels have
been attached and the bait consist
ing Of large croakers, is a grand be-
ginning. Naturally you will select the
spot where tarpon are supposed fairly
to swarm" and believe it or not, they
seem to be very friendly among them
selves and you will find numbers of
them together. At your approach
they scatter After short time. when
your boat is being gently rocked back
and forth by the water, the tarpon
become intensely interested in the
tempting tidbit you have thrown into
the water.
When caught, the fish leaps into
the air like streak of silver He
shakes his head as If greatly an
gered at your insult. His tail beats
the air angrily. as the Silver King
tries his best to rid himself of the
cruel hook.
From now on the battle continues

q few seconds watched it.
Its a feather" said he to himself
Some one of the feathered folk must
have been along this way and dropped
a feather. I wonder who Is was. I
haven't seen any one this morning.
I'll just have a look at that feather"
He trotted over to that tiny moving
thing. 1t was a feather. It was a
brown feather. The instant Reddy
was near enough for good look at
that feather his whole attitude
changed. He stopped to look keenly
this way. that way, every way. Then
he went on until he stood right over

He wasted no time with that little
feather, but began to move forward
slowly, but carefully his sharp eyes
searching the surface of the snow.
Presently he spied another feather.

He found several more feathers q

of liquor or drugs; (2) homicide
arising out of operation of motor
vehicle; CD reckless driving-result-
ing IN personal injuries or proper
ty damage, until he shall furnish
evidence of ability to respond there
after IN damages within specified
limits.
Montana's new law does not call
for compulsory insurance, nor does
1t affect the careful driver so long
as he is not involved in an ac-
cident.
The law specifies that proof of
ability to respond in damages may
be furnished IN one of several ways.
First-Deposit with the registrar
of motor vehicles cash or nego-
table securities of at least 81 $4,000.
Second-Give corporate surety
bond, if one can be secured And
II Is usually necessary to deposit
collateral equal to the face value
Of the bond with the surety COM
pany.
Third-Furnish two personal sure
ties, but the personal sureties must
own real estate in Montana. This
real estate must be scheduled in
the bond, and the bond, when filed,
constitutes first lien upon the
real estate for the benefit of any
udgment-creditor whose judgment
IS the result of an accident caused
by the car owner for whom the proof
was filed.
Fourth-File the certificate of an
insurance company authorized to
do business in the state and which
agrees to pay claims arising out of
one accident up to $4,000 to one
person injured, or 100000 to more
than one person injured, and $3.50. 90
to property damaged.
To Improve Public Safety
The purpose of this law is to
improve public safety. Insurance
companies will not insure reckless
drivers. and the reckless one is,
therefore, forced to put up the cash
and securities himself, or find two
friends each worth at least S1,250.00
who are willing to give a first lein
on their property for his benefit
Failing in this, he must cease driv-
ing or join the criminal class.
Of course there will be some law
evasion, but the penalties for this
crime are exceedingly heavy the
minimum fine being $4,000, the
maximum $25000, or up to six
months imprisonment, or both. Such
a risk is too great for the average
individual to attempt an evasion.

 The committee, consisting of James s. Truitt Frank A. Boyle and William A. Hesse, recommended that a Public Welfare Commits sion be established to take care Of all funds expended by the Terri tory for relief. It pointed out the need of an audit of all Territorial institutions and municipalities as a protection for those institutions and municipalities. It recommended that the responsibility for caring for all property of the Territory rest with either some officer of the Terri tory or, preferably, the Board of Administration, and urged repeal of the 1885 law which requires that the Board of Administration give its approval before an officer or employee of the Territory can travel

DEVELOPMENT FIRST

Rising cost of government has been the subject of much study and more discussion, over the years We heard much of it during the last campaign for obvious reasons and recently we heard something more concrete on it when the President recommended a reorganization of the administrative setup to Con- gress From the latter it is anticipated that adjust ments to meet the situation will be forthcoming
 But too often the cry against rising cost of gov- ernment is raised without sufficient thought to one major factor That is the simple fact that the nation is growing in population and demands of that in creasing population must be met. It may be argued that it costs to legisate and administer for ten persons than it does for ten million. But 1t isn
 fact as the records of the years reveal The larger and more complex our civilization the greater the cost of government It is also an obvious fact that are sometimes led to extremes in governmental setup with the result that we get off balance in another

lway Many believe that such situation prevails at the present time It is for the purpose of making such adjustments may be necessary that the pres ent recommenda tions before Congress.
 But it cannot be overlooked that increased popula- ton forces additional governmental expense Alaska is finding it true as we gradually add to number of residents That is one of the why the Ter rtory must push forward toward greater development As the forces of increased population demand ad- ditional governmental expense will have to look to new sources of revenue as the present ones can not be taxed out of existence. Development there fore must come first if to grow along natural lines.
