for food when you remember that
tiny objects may often get past some
OF the most Watchful eyes. And also
you have to compete with an insect
whose adult age is great among in
sects, that Is, from six months to
three years, and the female is
capable of laying from 100 to 200
eggs among the grain, or even going
so far as to tuck them carefully out
of sight under grain that has been
left along for short time.
The small, slender white eggs
hatch in three to five days. The
youngster emerges from his shell
and goes crawling over the grain,
helping himself to all he wishes,
making wee holes here and there as
he samples. In two weeks during
the summer weather, this life is
completed and cocoonlike protec-
ton is woven by joining together
with soft white silk small grains or
fragments of foodstuffs, held fast by
a strong, sticky substance manufac-
tured by the builder.
Within this sheltered and incon-
spicuous tent the larva changes into
the pupal stage. Two weeks in cool
weather and one in warmer are all
that are necessary. In fact, the
time consumed from egg to adult in
the summer is only from three to
four weeks. The adult beetle is
about one-tenth of an inch long and
has six toothlike projections on each
side of the thorax. You can see how
efficient these saw teeth are for the
purpose for which they were de-
signed.

After the woods people had heard
they gathered in circle and whis-

to Eric. "Leezen sounds like a real

her through any difficulty, so we will

By LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Looking at this little pest you
would hardly think it could do much
damage, yet it belongs to a quartet
of four species of grain destroyers
which live their entire youthful life
within the kernel, where unseen and
undiSturbed and even unsuspected
they manage to destroy hundreds of
thousands and even into the millions
OF dollars worth of good food.
Time was when grain that was
sold sheltered these small and de-
termined thieves. They were ground
up fine along with the grain and
eaten. Then came the establishment
OF the Federal standards for grain
under the provisions of the Grain
Standards Act. This act called for
the employment of specially trained
men who would inspect all grain be-
fore it could be made into flour,
meal and so forth for the markets
and, further. these licensed grain
inspectors and supervisors must
know the small beasts by name and
learn the secrets of how they get

XH-Through the Mountain.

Through the night, hour after
hour, the white fox ran smoothly
over the snowy hills with Eric, son
of Lightning, and Elsa on his back.
They had reached a chain of high
mountains when day broke.
Suddenly the white fox stopped.
He was tired. "Por fellow" said
Eric
Now we can go no further" said
the fox. These are the mountains
that only get higher as you go up.
No one has ever climbed them"
What" said Eric. why, I can
do anything. shall climb them" "
Wait, wait" said the fox. Many
people have died on those peaks. "
Don't leave me, Eric" said Elsa
quietly.
4 forgot, Elsa" said Eric. well,
let's see what this does" He blew
on his flute. He rollicked through
dances. He played fierce marches.
His flute screamed and then whis-
pered. And as he played queer little
woodstock began to peak out from
behind trees and rocks. Soon they
were surrounded by a silent group
OF little old men and women.
Then Eric put down his flute and
said to them: I'VE must be over
those mountains by noon. Is there
anyone here can help?"
"A Real Friend"
Il don't think So" said the oldest
man. There is only one errand
that can take a traveller through
them. There is a gate that opens
behind those rocks and straight
tunnel runs through the mountain
for him who has a real friend on
the other side"
But l do shouted Eric, pleased.
How can We know that before
we open the gate?' asked the old
est man.
by u.s. said Eric, his eyes fash

find Leezen."
