Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Can you imagine how Peter Rabbit
felt when he discovered that Hooty
the Owl and Mrs. Hooty had taken
the nest of Redtail the Hawk for
new home, and that it wouldn't be
possible for him to slip out from
under that brush pile without being
in plain sight of them? Peter knew
more about Hooty than some folks
do. He knew that Hooty is far from
being blind in daytime. He knew
that, as a matter of fact, Eooty can
see very well in the daytime In
that part of the Green Forest it
would not be very bright even on
the sunniest day, because the trees
grew very close together and he
suspected that Hooty or Mrs. Hooty,
one or the other, would always be
on watch.
Peters courage sank way, way
down to his toes. He felt that every
thing was against him. For a little
while he just gave up to despair
He couldn't see any way out of his
troubles. To try to run away from
that brush pile would be just the
same as offering himself as dinner
for Hooty and Mrs Hooty. He
wouldn't have chance in the world
as long as either one of them sat
there on watch. To stay under that
pile Of brush with Buster Bear there
only few feet away-well, it seemed
to Peter to be just as hopeless. He
didn't dare go and he didn't dare
stay, and that was all there was to
it. What should or could a poor
timid little rabbit do in such fix?
''This certainly is the end of me-"
sobbed Peter under his breath. ct
never, never will be able to get out
of this trouble I might just as well
give myself up to either Hooty or
Buster Bear, because one or the
other of them is going to get me
anyway. I wonder what Mrs. Peter
will do without me. I wonder if any
of my friends will ever know what
becomes of me? Oh, dear; oh, dear,
this is dreadful"
1t is a funny thing, but despair
never lasts very long 1t is dreadful
while it does last, but after a very
little while it has to give way to
hope. 1t is a good thing that this
is so. Peter knows all about it. Ger
tainly no one was ever in greater
despair than was he as he sat there
just inside the great pile of brush
with Buster Bear behind him and
Hooty the Owl watching out in front
of him. Yet after a while, as moth
ing happened, teeny, weeny bit of
hope crept into Peters heart. AS
the teeny, weeny bit of hope grew it
drove out the black despair, for hope
and despair cannot be together. You
see, it came over Peter finally that
he hadn't heard a sound from Buster
Bear and so probably Buster didn't
know anything about his being under
that pile of brush. Perhaps, if he
continued to sit perfectly still, Buster
wouldn't find him.

Another Californian
Takes Net Headlines

oRYE, N. Y, Aug 5-P9-
As though California, which
practically has a monopoly on
tennis honors these days, wasn't
dong well enough in the ne:
game this season, the state
where it never rains turned up
today with q hitherto unexpect-
ed threat in the Eastern Grass
Court Championships.
He's only a youngster, is TO-
year old Earl Cochell, a Los
Angeles red-head. and his chief
previous claim to fame was the
fact he almost won the Inter
collegiates q year ago. When
the Eastern started last Satur
day, he was rated about as much
chance as lasting long as q
near-sighted ball boy.
Yet, as the tournament set
tied down to tougher competi-
ton today, now that all frs:
round and some second round
matches have been completed
in both mems and women 8
singles, Earl definitely was the
dark horse.
The daily monitor. (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1940-1942, 1941-08-05

of all livestock on farms has
risen sharply.
PRICES ABOVE PARITY
Prices of all principal live
stock and livestock products are
now above parity and we'll above
the minimums the government
sought to maintain when it be-
gan its lend-lease and domestic
relief buying program in April.
In fact, at mid-July butterfat,
chickens, beef cattle. veal calves,
lambs and wool were above Ito
per cent of parity, the minimum
ceiling provided under price con-
troll legislation now pending.
STEEP RISE
This steep rise in output and
prices is expected to contribute
much more than half of agricul-
lures 194l income, which some
market experts believe may top
that of 1929. The rise reflects
farmers early response to gov
eminent pleas for more hogs,
dairy products, chickens and
eggs, after passage of the lend
lease bill. Huge government
purchases of livestock products,
totaling almost 100000, 600
pounds of pork, lard, milk prod
ucts and eggs since the begin
ming of the program, have help
ed to raise prices, thus direct
ly squirting production. Rising
domestic consumer purchasing
power also has. been a potent
factor.
In addition to increased price
yields from livestock products,
livestock have been enhanced
hansomely in value. Stock yards
experts estimated the market
value of the nations population
of hogs, around 100000 head
at the start of the year, has been
increased more than half q bill
lion dollars since January l.
Hog producers responded inn
mediately to the call for more
production with a spring pig
crop larger than last years,
Prospects are that the fall crop
will be the largest on record.
Cattle prices, although more
than q dollar higher than year
ago, show the smallest gain OF
any major livestock item, but
the value of the nations cattle
population was estimated tc
have increased possibly almost
q billion dollars over year
ago. Sheep and lamb valuation
ID believed to have increased
about $50, 100000.
