Brave Old Buster Bear Laugh
At Strange Headless Creature
By THORNTON BURGESS,

down the hill, then at Old Man Coy
ote running as hard as ever he
could, and his shrewd, little eyes
began to twinkle. Then he began to
laugh.
"Ha, ha, hal Ho, no, no! Ha, ha,
no! see you are up to your old
tricks, Prickly Porky!" he shouted
as the strange creature rolled past
almost over his toes and brought up
against little tree at the foot of the
hill.
Old Man Coyote heard him and
stopped short and turned to see what
it meant. Very slowly the strange
creature unrolled and turned over.
There was a head now and tail
and four legs. 1t was none other
than Prickly Perky himself! There
was no doubt about it, though he
still looked very strange, for he was
covered with dead leaves, which

grinned.

replied Buster Bear, still chuckling.
"You might have scared somebody
to death down here where they don't
know you"
Then everybody came out of their
hiding places laughing and talking
all at once as they told Buster Bear
of the joke they had played on Old
Man Coyote, and how it had all
grown out of the fright Peter Rabbit
had received when he just happened
along as Prickly Perky was rolling
down hill just for fun. AS for Old
Man Coyote, he sneaked away,
grinding his teeth angrily. Like a
great many other people, he couldn't
take a joke on himself.

course, and had also thought OF giring a
tea for her. Would this be the correct
thing to do? Thank you.
MRS. Sc
Answer-If you've ever gone to
live in strange town, you know the
utterly desolate feeling one has until
new acquaintance and associations
are made. So tea would be a
very thoughtful and gracious way
to welcome the newcomer. There's
something so friendly about meeting
over teacups and small cakes. And
what a chance to let go. Because
your guest will be vitality interested
in the best places in town for good
food; dependable laundry; where
to buy smart hats and dresses, and
all the other questions about
churches, schools and amusements.

"You shouldn't have given me
away, Buster Bear"
keep from shouting right out. Old
Granny Fox and Reddy Fox, watch
ing from safe distance, did laugh.
You know, they have not been
friendly with Old Man Coyote since
he came to live on the Green Mead
ows, and as they had themselves
had a terrible fright when they first
saw the strange creature they re-
joiced in seeing him frightened.
But Old Man Coyote didn't stop
for a little thing like a tumble. Oh,
my, no! He just rolled over on to
his feet and was off again harder
than before. Now, there are very
few people who can see behind them
without turning their heads as Pc
ter Rabbit can, and Old Man Coyote
is not one of them. Trying to watch
behind him, he didn't see where he
was going and the first thing he
knew he ran bump into-guess who?
Why Buster Bear, to be sure! Where
Buster had come from nobody knew,
but there he was as big as life.
When Old Man Coyote ran into him
Buster growled a deep, provoked
growl and whirled around with one
big paw raised to cuff whoever had
so nearly upset him. Old Man Coy
ote, more frightened than ever,
yelped and ran harder than before,
so that by the time Buster Bear saw
who it was who had run into him
he was safely out of reach and still
running.
Then it was that Buster Bear first
saw the strange creature rolling
down the hill which had SO fright
ened Old Man Coyote. Unc' Billy
Postum, Jimmy Skunk, Sammy Jay,
Peter Rabbit and Mrs. Peter, watch
ing from safe hiding places, Won
dered if Buster would run, too. If
he did it would be almost too good
to be true. But he didn't. He looked
first at the strange creature rolling
Glacier County chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1931-1940, 1940-01-26

1T WAS very plain to see that Old
l Man Coyote had quite lost his ap-
petite. 1t was very clear that he
wasn't thinking about his stomach
just then, but about his legs and
how fast they could go. He had
been half way up the hill when he
first saw the terrible creature with
out head, tail, or legs rolling down
straight at him. He stopped only
long enough for one good look and
then he started for the bottom of
the hill as fast as he could make
his legs go. Now, it is very bad
plan to run down hill. Yes, sir, it
is a very bad plan. You see, once
you are started it is not the easiest
thing in the world to stop. And then
again you are quite likely to stub
your toes.
This is what Old Man Coyote did.
He studded his toes and turned a
complete somersault. He looked so
funny that the little scamps watch
ing him had all they could do to

Excess Rainfall Hurts
Farmers in Mississippi

NEW ALBANY, MISS.-Mississip-
pts agricultural and live stock belt
faces its darkest period in more
than half century. Farmers and
their tenants in the northeastern
section of the state are victims of
excessive rainfall during the plant
ing season and later a long drouth
which has ruined their cotton and
corn crops.
Ransom Aldrich of Michigan City,
president of the Farm Bureau fed
Grafton, estimates the crop losses at
S1O,OOO,0OO. His figures are borne
out by reports of other agencies,
which show the corn yield to be
about 81 per cent of normal and
cotton 43 per cent.

War
sAmericanizes'
Wonen's Wear
Style Expert Predicts Trou.
sers for Almost Every
Occasion.

NEW YORK.-The European war
will help to "Americanize" women's
styles in this country. believes Miss
Ruth Hutton Of the Cooper Union
art faculty.
Women, she predicts, may be
wearing trousers for almost every
occasion before the war ends.
Eccentric hats and other frivol-
tiles of women's dress will be out,
Miss Hutton said.
"a parallel influence to an en-
phasis on Americanism in women's
Styles" she explained, twill be utili-
tarianism or functionalism. In no
way can we escape altogether the
direct result of the war on world
fashions. There will be in America
reverberations of the unitarian
mode born of necessity in Europe.
Silly hats, sable jackets, prominent
displays of jewelry and all types of
frivolity in dress, for instance, vir-
tually will disappear"
The war not only will bring about
changes in the type of clothes wom-
en- will wear, but will result in a
wider use in styles of American de-
Glacier County chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1931-1940, 1940-01-26

the struggle will be an important
factor in influencing the degree to
which styles in this country will go
American. It would not be surpris-
ing, however, to see women wear
ing trousers when the war is over,
not only for sports, as is done today.
but for almost every occasion.
Clothes are an expression of the
times in which we live and are func-
tional to the extent of the necessity
involved. Just as in periods past,
extremely feminine clothes, frills
and furbelows, for some strange
reason, have been the expression of
unsettled times and have presaged
wars of one kind or another. so war
itself and the aftermath bring about
a return to utilitarianism.
Trend Toward Simplicity.
1--WE can see in Europe today this
very change taking place, and OBJ
viously the influence of this change
will be felt in this country. When
serious work is done, femininity in
clothes is discarded and is replaced
by an emphasis on functionalism
which insists that clothes must be
suitable and wearable for a given
occasion. Hence the inevitable
trend toward tailored and other
such practical garb, and wider
use of trousers, if the war should
continue any length of time"
With Americanism and function
alism to the fore in women's styles
here, Miss Hutton plans for her STU
dents in fashion design an intensive
program of research in American
source material for inspirations in
design. This study will supplement
the usual research in modes of an
tiquity up to modern times. Amer
lean Indian designs, mems ordinary
work clothes, and cowboy outfits are
adaptable for feminine styles today.
