Investigation showed that a Mr..

a regiment of turkeys, 900 strong,

Once gentle. perfumed breezes

vealcd that the thief was an army
Of rats, invading from the Simpson
farm.
The Prince then learned that any
kind Of poultry attracts rats, which
eat food the birds overlook and then
spend the rest OF the night scouting
the ncighborhood.
The rats not only harvested the
avocado crop but gave up their pie
beian quarters and took up perma-
nent residence there.

The prince withdrew but brought

a phalanx of turkey farmers swore

before the counter attack came.
The Simpsons were sorry about the dust

Match Scarcity New Worry
To Those Getting Cigarettes

Pretty soon it won't make much
difference whether you can get Gig
arettes. You probably won't get
any matches to light them with
anyway.
There still are enough matches to
go around, but tobacco dealers and
representatives of match companies
say it's only matter of weeks or
even days before matches will be as
hard to get as cigarettes.
The situation already is spotty,
and it's not going to improve-at
least for about six months. A quota
system already has been put into
effect by the manufacturers, and
the pinch on retailers and consum-
ers will be felt soon.
One big tobacco distributor said
that for the next few months, he
win have about 10 per cent Of the
