Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON W. BURGESS,
Too much for one. too much for two.

Sammy Jay,

nD you ever wonder how it might
seem to have no friends, not q
single one7 Butcher the Shrike, who
bad como down from the North, wa
alone, wholly alone. He hadn't q
single friend IN the Old Orchard or
the Green Forest. He had no one to
talk with o. to. He Just sat around
By himself and appeared not to be
lonesome or to care that instead Of
being friendly toward him all the
other feathered folk hated him. He
asked no favors and he received none.
His presence had upset all the
feathered folk Of the Old Orchard.
Before his arrival all those who ate
at tho feeding shelf at Farmer
Browns house, Just beyond the edge
Of the Old Orchard, had done 30
happily and without fear. Now many
no longer came to the feeding shelf,
and those who did made only hurried
visits. They were afraid, and not
without reason. Butcher had made
more than one attempt to catch 4
visitor at that shelf. Even Sammy
Jay. who was Just about the size Of
Butcher. was afraid. He pretended
that hs wasn't, but It was noticed
that he was careful never to come
near Butcher.
Sammy had . lot to say. He was
Ike many people, brave in propor-
ton to the distance he was from
danger. He talked loudest and most
bravely when he was on the other
ode Of the Old Orchard from where
Butcher happened to be. Presently
the other feathered folk began to tvit
Sammy about his brave talk and lack
Of action.
II I were a. big Is you wouldn't
be afraid Of that fellow" taunted
little Tommy Tit, his black eyes snap
ping.
who says I'm afraid2" clustered
Sammy Jay.
II do," retorted Tommy Tit. "You
Ike 70 bully those smaller than your
.7elf. but when 1t Is some one your
own size you do all your fighting with
yow tongue" Tommy Tit was very
scoFnful.
Despite his good points, and he has
h1s good points Just Is most people
have. Sammy never has been popular
with his neighbors. Chicoree the
6oldhnch, Linnet the Purple Finch,
Dotty the Tree Sparrow, Slatey the
Junco. Yank Yank the Nuthatch,
Downy the Woodpecker, even Bully
the English Sparrow, called him Z
"fraidy" whenever they say. him. He
knew they thought him . coward,
but he wasn't. No, sir, Sammy Jay
wasn't really . coward. He knew
what his tormentors didn't know,
which was that Butcher the Shrike
was more than . match for him. So
b was afraid, but he wasn't a coward.
'That fellow should be driven out
of the Old Orchard and away from
The Green Forest, and driven 30 that
hs won't come back. Yes, sir, that
u what should be DONE" muttered
Sammy, not intending to be over
heard. But he was overheard.
why don't you do It, then? Dee,

DON'T NEGLECT
FURNITURE.

Furniture cannot stand forgotten
after the pores of the wood have been
filled and the surface polished. The
wood needs to be fed with oil oc-
casionally to keep it from drying out,
and certain amount of moisture in
the air is necessary also If the air
of room becomes too dry in heated
house in winter, the moisture in the
wood of furniture dries out, the parts
become loose, the wood shrinks and
cracks, and veneering may loosen.
Daily and occasional care of fine
furniture will help to keep the wood
in good condition. The formula for an
Oil finish to use in restoring old furni-
ture, is also good for a polish to use at
least once or twice a year on vanished
and oiled furniture. 1t is simply mix
ture of two parts of boiled linseed oil
and one part turpentine. The oil feeds
the wood. This polish removes the
dull foggy appearance often noticed on
furniture in daily use and, if the sur
face has fine checks on it, they will
show less after polishing. Apply the
mixture with soft cloth. Wipe off
all excess polish with a clean cloth and
then briskly rub with the grain of the
wood until the fingers leave no mark
and the surface is thoroughly dry and
shining.

A CHALLENGE.

AS we go busily about our tasks, do
We think only of our work, forgetting
the real goal toward which we are
striving? Are we developing something
beside the work side of life? The word
culture" has so often been thought
of as dealing with impractical and in
tangfbleS. Do We not heed to question
ourselves to find if we are thinking
right about our development? Do you
recall a sentence from a speech of
Abraham Lincoln's in 1859, mo other
occupation opens so wide field for
profitable and agreeable combination
of labor with cultivated thought, as
agriculture" Doesn't combination of
labor with cultivated thought" chal-
lenge you?
Later, it was said about another
great man who rose from not only
hardships, but also slavery-Booker T.
Washington, "He lifted the veil of
ignorance from his people and pointed
the way to progress through culture
and industry"

State American Legion and
Auxiliary to Make War on
Drug Producing Weed.

Just as they fought wartime enemy
in France in 1913, the $1,000 American
Legion members of this state are again
in the midst OF big drive-this time
to eradicate the innocent looking but
drug producing weed, Marijuana; an
enemy which lies in wait; not in
trenches and on battlefields, but dis
guised in the bright green cloak of
Mother Nature topped by mocking
tuft of flowers.
From the Marijuana leaves and
flowers, when dried, may be extracted
a dangerous and habit forming drug
which causes its users to commit violent
crimes and claims as its victims young
and DID, men and women, boys and girls
seeking the thrill of a "Marijuana jag"
thus causing mental stupifcation and
the breaking down of moral barriers.
Supporting Department Commander
M. B. Hurley of Pine City and the
27,O00 members of the states 473 local
Legion posts in this marijuana drive are
the $1,000 American Legion Auxiliary
members of Minnesota organized in 427
Units with Mrs. VIM P Robertson of
Litchfield as department president. Co
operating are the fun-making Legion
naireS known as 40-8-erS, now in deadly
earnest, led by their state chief, DR..
George Snyder of st. Paul.
1.-THE immediate concern of our posts
and units is for each to map a system
ATTIC campaign whereby as in wartime
our members shall patrol every inch of
territory in search of marijuana, every
weed to be destroyed so that it may
have no opportunity to become a po-
tential drug producer" Commander
Hurley stated
Now being enlisted in support of the
American Legion in this campaign are
all other organizations in each COM
munity, it was pointed out this week in
the Minnesota Legionnaire, official
state publication, the current issue of
which contains picture of the weed
and vital facts concerning it, together
with letter from John Edgar Hoover,
director of the Federal Bureau Of In
vestigation, United States Department
of Justice, who says in part:
II feel that The American Legion in
Minnesota is to be commended for its
patriotic spirit in opening campaign
on Marijuana and crime. 1t will be
only through the united action of
such people as these constituting the
American Legion that the crime prob
lem will ever be completely solved"
1t was pointed out by state Legion
leaders that the initial combing of the
countryside with view to destroying
the marijuana weed would be followed
by weekly patrols covering a three
month period, reports to be made regu-
larly to department headquarters, State
Historical Building, st. Paul, as to the
quantity of weed destroyed and terri
tory covered.
Confidential bulletins are being is
sued to all Our posts and units describ-
ing the weed and outlining steps to
destroy it; and they will be kept in
formed of the progress Of the drive"
it was announced by C. A. zwiener, Le-
gion department adjutant, and Miss
Blanche w. Scallon, Auxiliary state sec
Rotary. They added that each post and
unit would submit a review of its work
to the state convention in August.

uraly turn to the use of more eggs in
spring and we certainly get splendid
health values from them Besides the
many ways of preparing eggs alone,
there are all the varities of omelets
and custards, and delicious combina-
lions of eggs with vegetables, fruits,
meats and pastries.
While we make use of eggs in cakes,
pies and cookies, we use them less
often in our light breads and as re-
suit deprive ourselves of many of the
delicious breads used in European
countries. They make many more
kinds of bread delicious and nutritious
by adding eggs, sugar and spices. The
Brioche of France and Scandinavian
pastries, and especially the Danish
pastries, make delicious additions to the
lunch or breakfast.
