Bedtime Stories

Great was the rejoicing al
through the Green Forest and all
over the Old Pasture and the Green
Meadows when 1t was discovered
that Mr.. Goshawk, the Gray Ter
ror, had been driven away by
Farmer Browns Boy. Even Gran
ny and Reddy Fox and Old Man
Coyote rejoiced. Why did they II
they were not afraid Of Mr..
qoshawk7 Because he made it Just
50 much harder for them to get q
living. He created such terror
among the smaller folks In fur and
feathers that they kept 80 closely
hidden that the hunting was hard
and uncertain.
But none rejoiced more than
Mrs. Grouse and Peter Rabbit.
Mrs. Grouse because she could
once more visit her favorite feed
ing grounds In the Green Forest
and Peter Rabbit because he could
once more leave the dear Old Briar
Patch In safety or at least In COM
parative safety. You know Peter
never does feel absolutely safe, be-
cause 20 many are always On the
watch for him. One Of the first
places 70 BE-. visited BY Peter was
the Old Orchard Tonmy Tit the

weeks ago and wished him q safe
journey to the Sunny Southland,
where Welcome was In the habit
Of spending his winters. Never, so
far as Peter knew, had Welcome
been known to return until it was
certain that sweet Mistress Spring
was well on her way and hight be
expected almost any day. Here it
was the very middle Of winter.
and Peter knew better than to
think that Mistress Spring was to
be expected yet. Then, too, usually
he was one Of the very first to see
Welcome Robin when he did ar
rive, and he had seen no one who

even at distance might be mis-
taken for Welcome Robin. Nor had
he heard Welcomes voice.
What could Tommy Tit and
Drummer have meant? They had
spoken Just as If they had seen
Welcome recently, yet how could
they have seen him II he was way
down In the warm, sunny South
land? It was too much for Peter.
He headed for the Green Forest,
lipperty -hpperty-lip, to try to find
Tommy Tit and Drummer. Peter
had . few questions on the tip Of
his tongue Just trying to push each
other o6.

Monks Use U. S. Flour

Monks Of Mount Athos, Greece,
are now using American flour ex-
clusively in their celebarted mon
astery, exercising one Of the priyi-
leges which have made them q law
unto themselves for centuries. Being
exempt from import duties, they
find it cheaper to buy from the
United States the 800 tons Of flour
they consume annually rather than
purchase their supply in the home
market. The flour is imported by
means of special permits while the
necessary foreign exchange Is pro-
vided by the Bank Of Greece in
Athens.

not far of, and Tommy Tits voice
carries far. Peter was right in the
middle of a Jump. The instant his
feet touched the ground he sat up
like q jack -the-box Such look
Of establishment as there was on
Peters face! His eyes fairly popped
out. His long cars were stretched
as far as he could stretch them.
His mouth was half open as If he
were trying to swallow what he had
heard.
II thought 80, too, the last time
I saw him." replied Drummer.
when did you see him last?"
Peter strained his ears for Tom.

my Tits reply, but just then Tom
my and Drummer started for the
Green Forest, and Peter couldn't
hear what Tommy said. For some
time Peter sat right where he was
and stared over toward the Green
Forest in which Tommy Tit and
Drummer had disappeared. Peter
blinked his eyes. He scratched hts
long left ear with his long right
hindfoot. He pulled his whiskers.
It was very plain that Peter was
upset.
Is It to be wondered at that he
was7 I leave It to you. He had
hidden Welcome Robin farewell

which were 80 very,. very good In
their own stomachs now.

Gwynne Vanderbilt.
Profiled by Irving Drutman in the
September issue of Cosmopolitan,
Levant appears as a wise-cracking,
talented modern. Typical Of his
smart-aleck attitude is the remark
he made when being introduced to
Greta Garbo. pardon me-" he is
quoted as saying, 81 didn't catch the
name" He is celebrity's celebrity,
or as Alexander Woollcott puts it,
"a wits wit"
From Pittsburgh at the innocent
age of Is, Levant came to study as
a concert pianist, but his ambition
has only lately been fulfilled. His
life leading up to his solo appear
ance with the New York Philhar-
monic Orchestra had been varied.
The most important phase, Drut-
man says, is the six-year period he
spent absorbing the genius of
George Gershwin. Success in mar
riage has also found Levant only

RAIN BENEFITS,
HURTS CROPS
Late Corn, Soy Beans and
Pasture Lands Helped;
Lima Beans Damaged
WATERMELONS HURT

Mixed benefits and damages to
crops resulted from a heavy rain
fall on the Delmarva Peninsula
Sunday night and Monday morn
ing, according to a report given by
V. ]. Carmine, secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture. Late
corn, soy beans and pastures fun
doubtedly'' received benefits, he
said, but crops of little lima beans
in the lowlands are believed to
have suffered some damages. At
Laurel, it was reported that many
farmers whose land had been too
dry to plow, preventing them from
sowing clover seed, were enabled
to begin plowing. The weeks cool
spell hurt the watermelon market,
it was reported there. although a
record total of 1877 ,176 melons were
sold at the Farmers Auction Block
during the week With Is, ,14S car
riers of cantaloupes being sold, the
block listed sales of 33, ,267 for a
six-day period. Farmers in the
southern part Of the state report
ed picking cantaloupes over a five
weeks period, and a seven weeks
harvest of cucumbers.

The Promotion of ThOs. Lamb

The promotion of Thomas
Lamb from Private to Serge
ant on the Delaware State Po-
lice force is an honor which
he well deserves. Having
served for thirteen years with
faithfulness and integrity, he
has won a singular popularity
among his fellow workers, and
respectful admiration from
his friends in this town. In
charge of the Dover Station,
Sergeant Lamb will have
greater opportunities to show
his ability as an honest and
capable protector Of our high
ways, our towns, our homes
and our persons. Sergeant
Lamb is a credit to Smyrna.

cation of permanent pastures. For
those dairymen who do not have
enough hay each year for their
livestock, now is the time to SOW
alfalfa, but care should be taken
to plant this crop on well-drained
land which is also well supplied
with lime and organic matter.
Farmers are cautioned against the
use of foreign alfalfa seed which is
not adaptable to this section, and
should use only the Kansas-Ne-
braska or northwestern grown
seed. Within the past several
months there has been consider
able interest among dairy farmers
in Delaware regarding the use of
grass and legume silage which
serves to carry dairy cattle over
that period in late summer when
pasture crops frequently are short
and inadequate for all practical
purposes. In view of this interest
in this new kind of silage the ag-
ricultural extension service of the
University of Delaware has pre-
pared brief circular outlining the
advantages and disadvantages of
this silage and the method Of fill
