Of the Green Meadows. Right in
the midst of the maddest chase
after that little short tail q shadow
passed over him. A sudden chill of
fear clutched his heart. He looked
up. There was a great bird sailing
overhead. He didn't know who it
was, but he guessed. He had
heard Danny Meadow Mouse tell
about fierce Redtail the Hawk and
something told him that the great
bird with the keen eyes was Redtail.
Now, If Little Mite had been under
something he probably would have
sat perfectly still, which would have
been the right thing to do. But he
was right out in the open and at
the sight OF those hungry-looking
eyes q great terror took possession
Of him and he Just couldn't keep

result he ached and smarted all
over. You see, he had been caught
by Little Friend the Song Spar
row right in Little Friends nest.
Next time he would be more clever
when he stole eggs.
So Little Mite wandered on, look
ing for place to live in peace and
comfort, and at last he came to the
edge of Farmer Browns cornfeld.
OF course he didn't know 1t was a
cornfleld. He thought the young
corn was simply another kind of
grass. He ran out into the field
and actually hoped and skipped,
for it was so good to have room
enough. You see he had been so
long struggling through thick grass,
or running IN narrow little paths,
that 70 have room enough 10 Jump

in was enough to make him forget
all his troubles. Had he been older
and wiser he would have known
that it was very dangerous thing
for Meadow Mouse to venture out
in such an open space in broad
daylight, and he would have ven-
tured there only at night. But Lit
tie Mite still had much to learn.
The warm beams Of jolly. round,
bright Mr.. Sun poured down be-
tween the rows of corn and Little
Mite just forgot everything but
play. He dug q little In the soft
earth. He ran and danced and
jumped. He tried to catch his
funny little short tail and chased it
round and round.
So little by little he got farther
and farther out in the cornfield
and away from the safe. thick cover

When he thought that he might
never see them again, for he had
tried and tried to find his way
back and couldn't, his eyes filled
with tears.
But he didn't have a great deal
OF time for this kind of thing. He
was too busy getting enough to eat
and trying to keep out of trouble.
He was learning how to take care
of himself. but the lessons were very
painful sometimes. and he realized
how much better it would have
been to have been content to stay
at home and have been taught
these things by his father, Danny
Meadow Mouse. He had just learned
that the eggs Of birds are very de-

We have statistical proof that the
Plymouth Rock is one of the favorite
breeds of chickens in the United
States. Why? The birds are of

In the American Class, the Plym-

Barred, White, Buff, Silver-penciled,
Partridge, Columbian and Blue. The
poultry industry of the United States
is interested in raising chickens
for the production of food, and
this may take the form of pro-
ducing either meat or eggs or both

breeds in the exclusive American
Glass will be subjected to a "test'

Farmers will raise from to 10
per cent more chickens and turkeys
this year and commercial raisers
will increase their output. The
farmer will find he can increase the
number Of chickens on his farm
this coming year because Of the
favorable relationship between egg
and feed prices during the last

BEDTIME STORIES

The days and nights were very
long to Little Mite, the runaway
baby of Danny Meadow Mouse, and
he wished and he wished and he
wished that he never had thought
Of trying to see the Great World
Now that he was out in the Great
World it seemed to him a dread
fully cruel place, and he didn't feel
safe minute-not a single minute
1t seemed to him that no sooner
had he escaped one danger than he
walked straight into another, yet
all the time he was trying his best
to keep out OF danger. He thought
Of that dear safe home under the
pile Of old cornstalks a great many
times, and wished with all his heart
that he was back there with his
brothers and sisters. He wondered

The Barred Plymouth Rock has
a grayish white plumage, each
feather crossed by clearly defined
dark bars which should be even in
width and straight, and should ex-
tend down to the skin. The males
should have dark and light bars on
their feathers that are OF approx
mately the same width. The sons
will be carefully checked to see if
their raiment is Identical, along
with the other qualifications, such
as yellow shanks free of feathers,
horn-colored beaks, red earlobes and
large. intelligent eyes. They must
have the ability to lead their mates
and offspring to good hunting
grounds, where the vegetation is
green and tender and insects are
abundant, and to be on the alert to
sound the alarm when danger is
eminent.
The plumage of the female Is
darker than that of the male, the
black bars wider and the light ones
about half the width of the dark.
Each feather should end with a
narrow dark tip which, with the
alternate light and dark bars, gives

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Yesterday we spoke of Cugnot, the
Frenchman who invented a three
wheeled steam truck 173 years ago
It was looked upon as failure. If
others had not taken up the idea,
the world would not have the mod
ern motor car.
An Englishman named Richard
Trevithick Is another inventor who
should be honored. He was born in
the year It'll.
AS boy, Richard showed great
promise In school. A story has come
down to us that he could work six
problems in arithmetic while his
teacher was working one.
At the age of Is, Trevithick built
toy machine which ran across a
table with the help of steam power.
That toy was steam locomotive.
Five years later Trevithick in
vented a steam carriage with three
wheels. The driver had seat where

he could turn the single wheel in
front. Behind him was the steam
engine, also two big wheels and
carriage to hold passengers.
A man named Stephen Williams
made q record of test trip made
by Trevithick. He spoke of Cap
tain Dick" meaning Richard Trevi-
thick. Here is part of what Will
liams wrote:
"On Christmas Eve, coming on
evening, Captain Dick got up steam
on the high road. When we saw
that he was going to turn on steam,
we jumped. :. It was a stiff hill, but
she was of like a bird"
In the years 1903 and 1904, Trevi-
thick made other public tests of
steam motor cars Once he trav-
eled distance of 80 miles, from
one city to another. He made a
speed as high as 10 miles an hour.
One of Trevithick's machines was
strong enough to haul load of 10
tons. While doing so, it ran from
five to seven miles per hour.
Instead of going on with automo-
bile work, this great inventor turned
to the steam railway He was a
pioneer in railway progress, as well
as In the field of the automobile.
While Trevithick was making tests
In 1904, a Philadelphia man pro-
duced an odd invention. His name
was Oliver Evans and he built a
motor car which would run on
land and through water. It ran a
mile and half through Phila-
delphia, then went into the Della
ware River and was pushed forward
by . paddle-wheel. Evans machine
was an ancestor of the "water-trav-
cling jeep" of which we have been
hearing lately.

London 0INS).-The mana cement
committee OF the International Trans
port Workers Federation. meeting in
extraordinary session in London, re-
viewed recent developments in France
and the Mediterranean which have
resulted from the successful Allied Of
fensive in North Africa.
Deploring the recognition given Adj
miral Darlan in Connection with these
operations, the resolution asserted
that this policy has created consider
able unrest among the anti-NaZi and
working elements of France. In addi-
ton, the resolution demanded imme-
diate restoration of political and eco
nOmic rights in North Africa which
had been previously curtailed by the
Vichy regime. as well as the liberation
of all political prisoners in North At
rica held by Vichy orders.
German Offers Rejected
This step of the highest executive
body Of the transport workers fedora
tion denouncing the recognition Of
Darlan is based, it is explained, upon
authentic reports received from France
just prior to the German move into the
hitherto unoccupied zone. According to
these reports, opposition Of the French
workers TO accept work in Germany
| has remained steadfast, notwithstand-
| ing the tempting financial and other
material advantages dangled before
the workers eyes by the German
authorities.
Indeed resistance has become 50
widespread that the French officials
| have ordered that workers who refuse
to sign labor contracts for Germany,
be dismissed from their jobs and de
prived of unemployment benefits and
their food and other ration books
Labor exchange offices throughout
France have been authorized To sign
| such labor contracts in the name of
'non-cooperative workers. thus com
pelling them to either 20 10 Germany
or to accept the consequences.
Anti-Nazi Feeling Stiffens
The reports further say that anti
German public opinion has stffened 10
an unheard-of degree and the under
ground movement is firmly entrenched
in all industrial and commercial un-
dertakings throughout the country.
The backbone Of the movement are the
railway workers who are also its lead
ers and willingly carry all the risks
and dangers associated with leader
