Old Man Coyote also discovered
where Danny hGd moved to, and
every night he would come around
shifting and shifting about the

me twice;

This worried Nanny a great deal,
but Danny only laughed Never
in all his life had he felt so safe.
No one could get him in that corn
shock and he didn't need to leave
it at all. because. you know, there
was plenty to eat right there. So
Danny rather enjoyed watching
Reddy and Granny Fox and Old
Man Coyote hanging around and
trying all sorts of plans to catch
him.
But one day as Danny was sit
ting where he could peep out and
see what was going on he discovered
something strange and very terrible.
Down at the farther end of the
cornfield were two tremendous four

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse
had been tablished-which means
settled-in their new home in Far
mer Browns cornield for some
time before any of their hungry
enemies discovered them. You
know. they had made a Meadow
Mouse castle out of a shock of
corn. their house right in the heart
of it. But they couldn't remain
undiscovered forever. No one
could. They might have remained
undiscovered longer than they did
had Danny been content to stay
right in that shock where they
had made their home. But he
wasn't. He just had to visit other
shocks to see If they were as good
as his own.
1t was because Of this that Reddv
Fox found out where Danny and
Nanny had moved to. He had
missed them over on the Green
Meadows and it had puzzled him
great deal. For several days he
had hunted them there without
ever getting single smell of them.
and this was something he never
had known to happen before. But
when very early one morning on
his way through Farmer Browns S
cornfield he smelled Danny's tracks
and followed them to one of the
shocks Of corn he guessed right
away what Danny and Nanny had
done and he grinned. He would
waste no more time hunting for
them in the Green Meadows.
1t took Reddy some time to find
out in which shock Danny and
Nanny were living. You see. Dam
ny's tracks led to several shocks.
But at last Reddy found out and
after that he and Granny were
forever bobbing up at all hours

Words to Watch.

There is tendency to pronounce
the word NONCHALANT as NON

as "RESS' -tuh-RAWNT." These
mispronunciations are apparently
the result of trying to make the
words sound French True, they are
French, but the French pronuncia-
tions are quite unlike those noted
above. American dictionary prepon-
derance places the accent on the
first syllable only and obscures the
"a" of the third syllable, thus:

KINDERGARTEN is not KIN
dee-GAHR- DIN. Notice the "r" and

A COCCUS is a sphere shaped
bacteria. The word is used as suf-
fix, as in st;eptococcus singular :,

A man who spent a great deal OF
his time during the past year in

the most frequent mistakes made
were:
Sowing Seeds Too Thickly.
This is an inexcusable waste of
seed. and furthermore, such prac-
tice increases your work, because of
the necessity Of thinning as young
plants begin to grow larger.
Sowing Seeds Too Deep.

will not germinate properly and the

Many Victory gardeners were dis

ufacturers and dealers are laying
plans and taking every precaution
so that every Victory gardener will
find Victory garden fertilizer avail
able at his garden supply headquar-
ters for use on his 1914 Victory
garden.
But your cooperation is needed,
too. Labor and Transportation IA
cilities are big factors in delivery of
goods. If the purchasing of plant
food is spread over several months
rather than packed into a few short
weeks, a minimum of labor can
move tremendous quantity of
plant food, and if you will store the
plant food in dry place in your
home or garage until it is needed
next spring. you will be relieving the
dealers storage facilities. It's pull
ing together like this that solves our
problems and that kind of co-opera-
ton is going to bring victory nearer.
So get the plant food order in to
your garden supply dealer and get
the plant food delivered and stored
safely in your attic, garage or other
dry storage place, all ready for ap-
plication when those first spring
garden-making days come along.
When you purchase your own
plant food, how about taking care
of some of your Christmas shopping
by purchasing a package of plant
food for the Victory gardeners on
your list? 1t is a. gift always well
coined by gardeners, but particu-
larly appropriate under present

Fall planting is highly recommended
