LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME

Somehow it seemed to Farmer
Browns boy that he must be dream
ing. He never, never had seen any
thing like this before, not even in
the very driest weather Of the hot
test part Of the summer. He looked
this way and looked that way. The
Green Meadows looked just as usual.
The Green Forest looked just as
usual. The Laughing Brook-ha!
What was the matter with the
Laughing Brook? He couldn't hear
1t and that, you know, was very
unusual. He dropped his rod and
ran over to the Laughing Brook.
There wasn't any brook! No, sir,
there wasn't any brook-just pools
of water with the tiniest of streams
trickling between. Big stones over
which he had always seen the
water running in the prettiest Of
little white falls were bare and dry.
In the little pools frightened min
nows were darling about.
Farmer Browns boy scratched his
head in puzzled way. Il don't
understand It," said he. II don't
understand 1t at al. Something
must have gone wrong with the
springs that supply the water for
the Laughing Brook. They must
have failed. Yes. sir, that IS just
what must have happened. But !
never heard Of such thing hap
pening before and ! really don't
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1942-11-16

Now, it happened that the very
day before Paddy the Beaver de-
cided that his pond was big enough
and so allowed the water to run
in the Laughing Brook once more,
Farmer Browns boy took it into
his head to go fishing in the Smiling
Pool. Just as usual he went whis-
Ting down across the Green
Meadows. Somehow when he goes
fishing he always feels like whis-
Ting. Grandfather Frog heard him
coming and dived into the little
bit of water remaining in the Smil-
ing Pool and stirred up the mud
at the bottom so that Farmer
Browns boy shouldn't see him.
Nearer and nearer drew the whis-
tie. Suddenly 1t stopped right short.
Farmer Browns boy had come in
sight of the Smiling Pool, or rather,
what used to be the Smiling Pool.
Now, there wasn't any Smiling Pool,
for the very little pool left was too
small and sickly looking to smile.
There were great banks Of mud out
Of which grew the bulrushes. The
lily pads were forlornly stretched
out toward the tiny pool Of water
remaining Where the banks were
steep and high the holes that Jerry
Muskrat and Billy Mink knew so
well were plain to see. Over at one
side stood Jerry Muskrat's house
wholly cut ok water.

These dis6guring spots affecting tho

result from . temporary, minor dis

You can relieve the itchy, burning

In economic importance, the pecan
ranks first among our native nut
trees because of the quantity and
value of the wild crop as well as its
cultural promise. Ninety-fve per
cent Of the pecan crop is harvested
from wild trees.
The species is native to river bot
toms and lowlands of the Mississippi
River and its tributaries as far
north as Davenport, Iowa, Coving-
ton, KY, Terre Haute, Ind, and the
vicinity Of Kansas City, Mo. It is
also found throughout most OF the
river valleys of Texas and the adj
jacent parts of Mexico. In the re-
gions of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisi-
ana, Mississippi, Alabama, Missouri,
Kansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, In
diana and Illinois and limited area
in Southeastern Nebraska and
Southeastern Iowa, 1t has occurred
wild in large areas.
Earliest efforts at commercial
planting were made in Louisiana,
Mississippi and Texas. Greatest &C
tivity that has been made recently
to establish the pecan outside of its
natural habitat, is in Georgia,
Florida, North and South Carolina,
Virginia, Maryland, California and
Oregon.
Pecan trees are monoecious; that
is, the male and female flowers are
separate but on the same trees.
The male flowers are in slender
dropping catkins furnishing the pol
len for the small erect clusters of
the female flowers. Later, the nut
clusters will be found here. Leaves
IL to 20 inches long, composed of
8 to II leaflets Of bright yellow
green, cover the tree all summer,
turning to bright yellow in autumn.
The fruit, 3 to IL in . cluster and
four-angled, opens at the winged
sutures when 1t reaches maturity.
The nut is reddish and smooth, with
. thin she'll and . sweet kernel.
Pecan trees have thick trunk
with broad top. They reach a
height Of from 100 to ITO feet. The
dark reddish bark Is broken into
small scaly plates: the wood Is light
brown, compact, heavy, but not
strong.
The nut meat contains over 20
per cent Of fat and ID : good source
Of iron and Of vitamins A and B.

A Continuing Squeeze

The first trick gave South a rude

enough to ind all the key cards
in one hand.

Both sides vulnerable.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1942-11-16

South cannot be blamed for risk
ing the small-slam bid, even though
the North-South cards normally
should not produce IL tricks. If
North had happened to hold four
to the queen in either red suit, there
would be play for IL tricks even
If the dummy were otherwise COM
pletely worthless.
West led the queen of clubs and
South looked disappointedly at the
dummy. Apparently he was going
to lose a trick in each red suit. His
disappointment changed to some
thing resembling despair when East
ruffed!
South had played low from the
dummy and had the presence of
mind to drop the ace of clubs on
EaSt's triumph This gave him an
entry to dummy If he should happen
to need it after he had drawn
trumps.
East returned the deuce of dia-
monds and South resisted the
temptation to fnesse the ten. East
would have returned a trump, South
reflected, If there had been any
doubt about the safety of his re-
turn.
Then South ran his five trumps,
saving all of dummy's clubs. West
discarded two clubs on the third
and fourth trumps, but the last
trump squeezed him. A club discard
obviously would establish dummy's
entire suit; so West discarded the
jack of diamonds. South then
dropped the queen Of diamonds by
playing his king and cashed the ten
Of diamonds to squeeze West once
more. If West discarded a club,
dummy would win an extra club
trick; if West discarded a heart,
South would win trick with the
ten of hearts.

CHANG KAI-SHEK. Though I
