IAl he thought about was getting
home. He had such fright that
home seemed the very best place
in the world, and he wanted to get
there. When Reddy discovered that
he no longer needed to run, he lay
down to rest and get his breath.
After a while he started for home,
and as he trotted along he began
to think what he should tell Granny
Fox. He knew that Granny would
know that he had been hunted by
Bowser the Hound. She couldn't
help but have heard Bowser's voice,
and that would have been enough.
Reddy knew that the first thing she
would ask him would be how Bowser
had happened to chase him. He
didn't want to tell her. He knew
that she would scold him for hav-
ing yielded to the temptation to try
to catch one of Farmer Brown s
hens. But he knew that it would
be no use to tell her anything but
the truth. Old Granny Fox is very
smart. She would know that that
chase had started very near Farmer
Browns and that 1t wouldn't have
started If Reddy hadn't been there.
So Reddy made up his mind to tell
her the truth.
Now Reddy Fox doesn't mind
what other people think or say, but
he does mind what old Granny Fox
says. Her tongue is as sharp as her
wits. So as he trotted along Reddy
tried to think Of something to tell
Granny that would make Granny
forget to scold. He would tell her
how all the old tricks had failed.
That would interest her, for it was
she who had taught him these very
tricks. Perhaps when she found out
that those tricks were no longer good
for anything so far as Bowser the
Hound was concerned, she would
try to think of new ones and for
get to scold.
Right then Reddy stopped and
stared at nothing foolishly. 1t had

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS.

When Reddy Fox had crawled In
under the tangle Of fallen trees deep
IN the Green Forest he had not had
the least idea that he would find
any one there. His one and only
thought had been to reach the hol-
low log that he remembered was
there, for once in that he would be
safe from Bowser the Hound. If
Reddy had known that Buster Bear
had made his bed there nothing
under the sun would have induced
him to 60 there, not even the fear
that he could not fool Bowser the
Hound. While Reddy does not dare
face Bowser and fight him he Is a
hundred times more afraid Of Buster
Bear.
So when he suddenly discovered
that he had run to the wrong place,
actually had crept into Busters
bedroom, and that Buster was there,
he got such a fright that he forgot
all about being tired and out Of
breath withfrunning. He had just
one thought and that was to get
away from there In the quickest
possible time And he did. Yes,
stree, he did it! He got out Of
there just as If he was trying to
show some one how fast he could
run. At the same time Bowser the
Hound was trying to do the same
thing. You see, Bowser is quite as
much afraid of Buster as is Reddy.
Bowser's tail was between his legs
and he was yelping for all he was
worth. Crying before he was hurt,
you know. No wonder Buster Bear
laughed. He just couldn't help it.
OF course it didn't take Reddy Fox
long to find out that Buster Bear
was not chasing him. And it didn't
take him long to find out that
Bowser the Hound wasn't chasing
him either. The truth is Bowser
had lost all desire to chase any one.

diateiy. But he found that by
trumping his good ace of hearts he
postponed the guess.
A spade was led and West took the
ace. West shifted to the diamond
jack, dummy ducked and East's
queen was played, South taking the
king. Now, without even risking a
play for a club break, South could
set up an extra trick in diamonds
by leading the nine through West
and get discard for his losing club

We must say that North's re-

When his partner had come in with
an overcall at four spades, North
certainly could not have been crit

as 1t happens, could not have been
made.
In fact, the sensational trump

win this with the ace. But South
realized that East probably had
started with eight hearts and might
hold three cards in either clubs or
diamonds but surely not in both. To
make the contract South would
have to find a 3-3 break in one of
the minor suits, and establish that
suit for discard of a loser in the
other minor. If a discard was taken
on the opening heart lead South
would have to guess his suit imme-

BRIDGE COMPLETED
IN RECORD Time

An unusual record in the con-
struction Of a vital bridge was
praised yesterday by Thomas H.
Macdonald U. s. Commissioner OF
Public Roads, in connection with
the Peace River Bridge built by
John A. Roebling's Sons Company,
Trenton, New Jersey.
Surprising their 100 year record
as bridge builders, Roebling has
done a magnificent job at Peace
River" stated the Commissioner.
CONSTRUCTION is completed .
seven and one-half months after
the contracts signing eighteen
weeks after the setting of the first
piece of steel cutting in half
the best previous construction time.
The bridge of the suspension type,
spans the 2,000-foot wide valley of
the Peace River in British Column
bia, 40 mics above the railhead at
Dawson Greek. Trucks carried 100
freight car loads of steel through
bitter winter to the site. Housing
difficulties, disease and intense cold
stalked the construction cap at all
times.
Despite these difficulties, the rec
ord construction time was rolled up
for this bridge in the wilderness as
0anpared to an almost identical
es1iing bridge in the heart of the
E.adle West, which, in normal
times, required almost twice as long
- build.

Almost 1885, 900 steel industry en-
ployees have left their jobs to enter
the armed services through enlist
ment or induction - the equivalent
of ten full army divisions, recent
survey by the American Iron and
Steel Institute has revealed.
Included in that total are man
agement and operating executives,
metallurgists and engineers, as well
as highly skilled and experienced
mill workers. Replacement of such
large number of valuable en-
ployes has presented serious prob
lens, and has been an obstacle In
the way of increasing the total ton
mage of the industry's steel produc-
ton.
The total number of steelworkers
now in the services represents one
out of eevery four employees at work
in the industry in the autumn Of
1910 when the Selective Service
Law became effective.
At first, the number OF steel
workers leaving their jobs for the
service increased relatively slowly,
amounting to only about 1000 from
the entire industry by the end OF
1941. Six months later, in mid-year
1912, the total had risen to $1,000.

Heavy Precipitation
Sets High Record
On Reservation

ture.
From October l until the fore
part of this month snowfall &C.

this was the precipitation of the
same period of 1888 81, which
was CT inches. However, March

sent month already three inches
have fallen.
In terms of water, according

Despite the closing of the cam.

which was Monday, people of the
Reservation are still making con-

Well over 200 volumes have
been received by him, he said.
Up to this week he had received
no word as to when or where he
should ship them, though it is
possible that they may be deli
vered to the airbase at Cut Bank.
Books will continue to be well
coined, he said, as the close of

their need, in the light of the ex-
panding facilities for serv C e

New Oil, Gas
Lease Method
Will Be Used

A new method OF handling oil
and gas leases on the Blackfeet
Reservation is to be employed,
according to Leo M. Kennerly.
Tribal Council secretary.
Heretofore Indian leases have
have been sold at public sale. At
t h last sale, however, sealed
bids were called for and where.
as leases had Heretofore sold for
as high as 5000 an acre. the cash
bonus was replaced by a plan of
overriding royalties. A bid SUBJ
mitted by one operator proposed
not only an overriding royalty
but participation by the tribal
cour.cil in the net profits of the
operation. This idea has led to
the new plan.
Under the expected announce
meat, operators will be given OPP
portunity to take oil lands for
development without payment of
a bonus other than nominal con-
sideratlon, to bind a contract.
The leases will carry S24 per
cent of the oil. the tribe retain
ing l74 per cent landowners
royalty. The operator will be al
lowed to recover the cost of each
we'll drilled from the gross pro.
ceeds OF 1921 per cent of the oil.
together with a fixed overhead
and operating charge, and there
after will divide the net proceeds
of the leasehold operation on a
basis of Is per cent to the oper-
ator and IS per cent to the tribe.
This will give the "shoestring
boys" chance, according to one
observer. T hey would never
have a ch ance bidding cash
against the big companies. If
they drill dry hole. they can
drill a second we'll and even a
third we'll and the cost of the
dry holes can be recovered from
any production subsequently,
found. This means greater de-
! velopment for the Blackfeet Tribe
on lands where one dry hole
might otherwise condemn tract
Also, it is commended, this plan
, is better than sliding scale roy
alties. because the little operator
can get by" on small wells but
in case of big wells, the tribe will
participate in the profits.
