stopped at three of Jerry's favorite
eating places and studied them.
Jerry knew just what that meant.
That's that dreadful trapper,"
thought Jerry. "He's trying to find

so that he may set traps there. It's
clear to me that from now on I
shall have to watch my step every

smelled a carrot, and Jerry is very
fond of carrot. At another place
he smelled apple, and if there is any
one thing that Jerry Muskrat likes
it is apple. He was greatly tempted,
was Jerry Muskrat. 1t seemed to
him that he must 60 ashore and
get those good things to eat. But
he didn't. He just plunged his
head under water so that he could
no longer smell those things and
then swan over to his house to
think things over.

sure the trapper, who had just be-
gun to make trouble along the
Laughing Brook, would be so dis
couraged that he would take up his
traps.
When Jerry had said good-by to
Billy Mink and Joe Otter there had
been something of usefulness in
his squeaky voice. The fact is,
Jerry would have loved to 60 visit

Billy Mink told about were set for
him, but I know trappers well
enough to know that sooner or later
there will be some traps set espe-
cially for me-"
Jerry was quite right. Early the
next morning as he was making his
breakfast on lily root he caught
sight of some one coming down the
Laughing Brook. It wasn't Farmer
Browns Boy. It was a stranger.

Noun. A South American herb widely
cultivated for its fruit.
Should we say "toe-MAY- toe" or
"tOe-MAH-toe"?
A recognized authority on social
decorum recently published this die
tum in her syndicated column:
According to best social usage, the
word is pronounced 'toe-MAH-toe.' ,"
An enthusiasm for accuracy must,
I fear, impel this column to take
gentle issue with the distinguished
arbiter. The facts are these: Toe
MAH-toe' is preferred only by a
dWindling minority in a few scat
tered localities, principally in parts
of Virginia and the East. Else
where it is generally looked upon as
a rather ponderouS affectation.
Let us be consistent. If we must
say "toe-MAH-toe," why not also
poe TAH-toe' and "ba- NAH-na"
(The latter is preferred in England)
Linguistically these words are alike:
They come to us from the Spanish,
who purloined them from the In
dians, together with everything else
the simple creatures possessed.
TOE MAY toe is the first choice
of Webster's, Winston's and Mac
Millan's dictionaries and the Eng
fish Oxford gives 1t as the correct
United States pronunciation.
Correct pronunciation:
First choice, toe-MAY-
Second choice, toe MAH-toe.

Brock requested an increase OF
$4,000 in addition to a $955,577
raise allowed by the governor,
which would bring his departments
budget to nearly $9,500000.
Brock explained that the heavy
increase over the previous bien-

ditures made necessary by special
appropriation bills passed by the
preceding legislature. However,
most of the measures, he said, car
ried special sources of revenue. The
director declared the proposed o.
son budget more nearly stated the
exact expenditures under jurisdic-
ton of the agriculture department
than any previous such document
The board of equalization was
slated for a S1,972,3 $50 increase by
Olson, and no further boost was
asked by board officials. Executive
Secretary Dixwell Pierce explained
the increase included $4,000 for
new division of research and sta
tistics, $4,000 for a new division
of assessment standards, $l14,00t
for 25 additional auditors and $l02,-
600 for 25 additional liquor en-
