Unc' Billy could help. He hoped
that Unc' was at home, and he
wasted no time In finding out. Unc'
Billy was at home. and when he
heard that his old friend Prickly
Porky was In trouble he hurried up
the hill as fast as ever he could.
He saw right away what the trouble
was.
"Yo' keep still just q minute. Br'er
Porky!" he commanded. for he did
not dare go very near while Prickly
Porky was rolling and kicking
around so for fear that he would
get against some of the thousand
little spears Prickly Porky carries
hidden in his coat. Indeed. he Was
so weak from his long struggle that

spent from Texas and South Caro-
lima through the West Indies and
Central America to Patagonia. The
breeding grounds range from the
Arctic coast of North America south
to the mouth of the Yukon and tc
Southern Ungava. Migration Is
mainly east of the Rocky Mountains
With such q wide distribution it Is
not strange that this bird has been
given several names Some are
sand-peep, black-legged peep, sand
ox-eye and peep, mainly because Of
the continuous peeping note used
by the birds.
Sandpipers are friendly little
birds, usually too wrapped up in
their own affairs to pay much at
tention to intruders. When really
disturbed they take wing with de-
cided resentment voiced In their tu-
weets, tu-weets!
When the waves are too boisterous
or the winds too strong. these birds
seek . large clump Of marsh grass
where the wind cannot reach them
and settle down comfortably. There

and that it was he who was making
the queer noise. Prickly Porky was
on the ground at the foot Of . tree.
and he was rolling over and kicking
and clawing at his mouth. from
which . little piece Of bark was
hanging. It was such strange per-
Torrance that Redeye simply stared
for . minute. Then in q flash 1t
came to him what it meant. Prickly
Porky was choking. and If some
thing wasn't done to help him
he might choke to death!
Now there was nothing that Red
eye himself could do to help, for
he was too small. He must get help
somewhere else. and he must do
it quickly. Anxiously he looked this
way and that way. but there was no
one In sight. Then he remembered

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON W. BURGESS.

Hardly was Jimmy Skunk beyond
sight and hearing after having made
his call on Prickly the Porcupine
than Redeye the vireo. whose home
is In q tree just at the foot Of the
hill where Prickly Porky lives, heard
a very strange noise. He was very
busy. was Redeye. telling al who
would listen how happy he was, and
what . beautiful world this Is. Red
eye seems to think that this Is his
special mission IN life, that he was
put In the Green Forest for this one
special purpose to sing all day long,
even In the hottest weather. when
other birds forget to sing, his little
song Of gladness and happiness. It
never seems to enter his head that
he Is making other people happy
just by being happy himself and
saying so.
At first he hardly noticed the
strange noise, but when he stopped
singing for . bit of rest he heard
1t very plainly. and 1t sounded 50
very queer that he few up the hill
toward the place from which It
seemed to come, and there his bright
eyes soon discovered Prickly Porky.
Right away he saw that Prickly
Porky was In some kind Of trouble,

II thought Of something funny
right In the middle of my meal. and
laughed just as I started to swal-
low. and the piece Of bark went down
the wrong way" explained Prickly
Porky, and then as If the mere
thought of the thing that had made
him laugh before was too much for
him, he began to laugh again. He
laughed and laughed and laughed,
until finally Unc' Billy quite lost
patience.
"Yo' cert My have lost your man
ners. Br'er PorkyI" he snapped.
Prickly Porky wiped the tears
from his eyes. Come closer 20 that
I can whisper, Unc' Billy" said he.
A little bit suspiciously. Unc' Billy
came near enough for Prickly
Porky to whisper. and when he had

he braced himself and pulled with all
his might. For q minute the piece
Of bark held. Then it gave way 50
suddenly that Unc' Billy fell over
fiat on his back. Unc' Billy
scrambled to his feet and looked re-
provingly at Prickly Porky, who lay
painting for breath and with big
tears rolling down his face.
"Ah cert'nly am surprised. Br'er
Porky, All cert My am surprised that
yo' should be so greedy that yo'
choke y'self," said Unc' Billy. shak-
ing his head.
Prickly Porky grinned weakly and
rather foolishly. 1T wasn't greed,
Unc' Billy. It wasn't greed at al" /"
he replied.

Uncle Rays Corner
By RAMON COFFMAN.

Maybe you saw the article we
had last Saturday. 1t was about a
question from girl who was
puzzled as to how Mercury can ro-
tate and still have night all the
time on one side and day all the
time on the other.
The answer is found in the fact
that Mercury rotates only once while
making complete trip around the
sun. The same side always faces
the sun.
Fairly close to US Gas distances go
in the sky we have a case of the
same kind. The moon which circles
the earth makes just one rotation
while revolving a single time.
The moon always keeps the same
face toward the earth. When we
see the moon, we always see the
same side, or part Of the same side
No one has ever seen the other side
of the moon.
Thanks to the fact that the moon
"wobbles," we can see and study
little more than half of it. Yet the
wobbling is not very great, and al
most half the moon is complete
mystery to people on earth.
If the earth we're a sun, and if no
other sun shone ON the moon, the
moon would have everlasting" day
on one side and night on the other
AS it is, the moon gets its sunlight
from the sun at the center of our
solar system. Since the moon ro-
tates once in about four weeks. the
length of it's day is half that time,
or about two weeks.
Think of living in place with
night lasting two weeks and daylight
two weeks! People no doubt would
be very tired by the end of each day.
Perhaps they would be ready to sleep
most of the two weeks of night, but
I should think they would grow hun
cry while sleeping
At night there would be no light
except what might come from the
stars and from the earth.
Yes, the earth would give some
light to people on one side Of the
moon, if there were such people. 1t
would reflect light from the sun, and
would look like a moon Of gigantic
size, several times as large as the
moon looks to us.
There is clear proof that earth
light" shines on the moon. This is
found when we see "the new moon

Few Anglers Take Advantage Of Lost Day
Of Trout Season, Weather Being Too Hot

spot Yet, Mr.. Bass will hit these
contraptions with driving smash
and throw them without trouble If
given a little slack line.
How does he accomplish the trick?
You tell us and we'll have the an
swer why the black bass is rated
the No. game fish of Amreica.
With but few exceptions the
States have set aside the bass as a
game fish. One of the exceptions is
Maryland, so blessed by nature that
a minimum size limit of II inches
is set for striped bass. Limits on
other species are so small it IS
ridiculous.
Is it any wonder commercial men
are allowed to seine black bass also
The area up around the head of the
Bay-Northeast and the Susque-
hanna River Is the scene of such op-
erations. The reason for the laxity
in protecting both bass lies In the
number of votes these market fish
ermen are known to control. Year
after year sportsmen have carried
the fight against such practice and
been licked. So the angler Is al.
lowed 10 black bass q day, which
cost him, it is estimated, about
bucks a pound, while others are al
lowed to seine them by the ton, fol
which they receive a few cents a
pound.
