the Honorable Harold L. Ickes. This
argument is definitely and deliber-

Gated by an example OF the effect
on the Cost-of-Living Index of the
application of such price increase.
Since the start of the war in

petroleum prices have remained

equivalent of the 35c per barrel,

the index figure would be increased

as compared to the present level of
124S, and as / understand from
good authority that the published
index moves up and down in tenths,
the O.046 figure would not even

Right away he felt so much better
in his mind that he had good run
along the old stone wall and then
turned in for a good nights sleep.
The next day Sammy Jay appeared
in the middle of the forenoon and
demanded more corn. Chatterer
pr~tended that he didn't dare 60 for
it, but when Sammy insisted that
he must he suddenly, suddenly
started for-where do you think?
Why, for that storehouse of his in
the hollow rail on the edge Of the
cornfeld. 1t was long way to 60,
but that was better than running the
risk of being seen by Farmer
Browns Boy. It took him some
time, but at last he was back with
his cheeks pulled with corn. Sammy
Jay pretended to be cross because
he had been kept waiting so long
and grumbled all the time he was
eating He pretended to think that
the corn was not as good as that
lIO1Il DlOWIl dllO
mumbled something about telling
Shadow the Weasel if Chatterer
didn't get him some corn from the
crib the next day.
"You can't!" cried Chatterer in
triumph. "You promised not to tell
Shadow if / kept my promise and
got you corn whenever you asked
for it, but didn't say where l
would get it, and he chuckled to
think that he had been smarter than
Sammy Jay.
Sammy ate every grain and then
went off, but as he went Chatterer
thought he heard something very
like a chuckle. 1t made him
thoughtful and a little uneasy, but
he couldn't think of any way Sammy
could get the best of him now, so he
soon forgot it; and all the rest of the
day he thought of how lucky it was
that he had remembered that store
house in the hollow rail.

take all JOY and pleasantness out
of everything And then Chatterer
was mortified. He was both angry
and mortified because Sammy Jay
had proved to have smarter wits
than he had. So, as soon as he could
do SO without being seen, he slipped
into his new home in the old house
of Drummer the Woodpecker, in an
apple tree in the Old Orchard, and
there he sulked for the rest of the
day. You see, Sammy Jay had
made him go over to Farmer
Browns corncrib and get him some
corn right in broad daylight, and he
had very narrowly escaped being
seen by Farmer Browns Boy. He
had to do it because Sammy had
said that if he didn't he would tell
Shadow the Weasel where Chatterer
was living, and Chatterer was afraid
of nothing and nobody else quite so
much as of Shadow the Weasel.
eff only l hadn't promised to get
him corn whenever he asked me
tot" he said over and over to
himself as he sulked in his home in
the apple tree. IF only / hadn't!
And yet I couldn't help myself
just had to. Now, whenever he feels
like it. he'll make me do as he did
today, and perhaps I won't be so
lucky always. Oh, dear, oh, dear,
I've got myself into dreadful mess,
and I've just got to think of some
way out of it,
Then suddenly a great idea came
to him.
Stupid, stupid, stupid" he NUT
tered, meaning himself. why didn't
I remember it before? You won't
see me going over to that corncrib
again, Mr.. Jay!"
