Long before Farmer Brown's Boy and Cousin Tom had seen him Cloud King the Condor had seen the approaching airplane, He had been taking a sun-bath up on a cliff from which he could at the same time look off over what seemed like a large part of the Great World. At first, miles away, the plane had looked like a bird, like one of his own kind, but soon he knew it for what it was, one of those strange man- birds that more and more fre- quently shattered the peace of the solitude which Cloud King loved. For a few minutes he sat watching. His head and neck were bare, They had no feathers, for he is bald-headed like his cou- sin, OI' Mistah Buzzard. Both are Vultures. But whereas Ol' Mistah Buzzard has a red head and is called the Turkey Vulture, and there is another with a black head, Cloud King's head was nel- ther red nor black, but yellow. clumsy- But and there. He was awkward looking as he sat when at length he spread his his great wings and sailed out over the canyons and valleys he became magnificent, for his wings stretched more than ten feet from tip to tip. While he is call- ed the Californfa Condor his pro- per 'name is California Vulture. However, Condor he has long been called and Condor he prob- ably always will be called. He grumbled to himself as he flew to meet the airplane, "These man-birds are getting to be a dreadful nuisance. There {isn't any place left where one can get wholly away from them, seems like. Those two-legged creatures never would leave me and my family alone although we never have bothered them. It was bad enough before they learned to fly. They were always hunting for my home and taking the eggs, but sometimes we could fool them. Now that they can fly they follow us and can look down and see all below just as we can, so that we can no longer keep our secrets as we once could. I'll lead this one away from here. It is just as well that it shouldn't dis- cover Mrs. Conder and our only youngster. It is too bad it did- n't. The little fellow isn't so lit- tle now and he'll soon be trying his wings if only we can keep him safe, Thig man-bird may mean no harm, but I'll take no chances." So it was that by the time Far- mer Brown's Boy and Cousin Tom discoveped Cloud King he was far from the place where he had been taking his sun-bath and near which Mother Condor was resting and fondly watching over a young Condor, already almost as big as herself. Cloud King al- lowed the airplane to get quite near before the noise proved too much for his nerve, and he began to goar above it, Just for fun Cou- sin Tom began to climb, circling as he did so, and Cioud King dis- covered to his dismay that the man-bird could fly higher than he could. He swerved off and headed for a distant mountain- peak far from where his home was and sighed thankfully when LADY JELLICOE IN TORONTO THIS EVENING Lady, Jellicoe will arrive in Toronto at 9.45 this eve- ning when it is expected she will be met by a number of prominent women, including Mrs, G. Howard Ferguson, Mrs. W, R. Jackson, Mrs, Van Koughnet, Mrs. 8. Har. ris and others representing the Official Connections in which the Countess will visit the city and the Evhibition. While Lady Jellicoe was forc- ed to for a time in Montreal on account of Lady Guendolin Jellicoe's Hllnesy er ughter's im cofdition has made ni ble for Lady Jellicoe to plan to be in Toronto this evening. It was owing to Lady Gwendolyn's illness that nei ther was able to be in Osh- awa for the reception plan- .ned in connection with the Legion Convention. IWHY § 1D You . DESERT Me? the great man-bird went on its way. Later when they had wade a landing at their destination Cou- sin Tom told Farmer Brown's Boy something about Cloud King, "There never have been many of these birds," said he, "but now they are becoming so rare that to see one is an event. We were lucky to-day and 1 am glad you had the chance to see old Cloud King at close range. Thege birds have but two legs at most, and often only one, and the eggs are so rare that collectors make a business of searching for them to sell. That means that each year there are fewer birds of this spe- cies and it is only a matter of time when the gpecies will be- come extinct." "It is a shame," cried Farmer Brown's Boy. "It seems as if the more rare a thing is the more people try to put an end to it al- together, instead of trying to save it. I suppose that fellow lives on such dead matter as he can find." "Just like OI' Mistah Buz- zard," said he. "He is what is called a scavanger." (Copyright, 1931, by T. W. Burgess) The next story: 'Happy Jack's Ground Loving Cousin."

MAY BE SHORTAGE OF LAYING HENS I Rate of Marketing Con: tinues Will Be No Flocks Ottawa, -- A short- age of flocks of laying hens in Canada appears to be 'a probobili- ty should the marketing of hens continue during the balance of the season at the rate which has characteriezed this movement tince early this year, states a -.re- port issued by the Dominion de- partment of agriculture. "It is doubtful if ever before the movement of hens to market has been go steady throughout the year or so hedvy as is the case at present," the report con- tinues. "In many parts of Onta- rio it is almost impossible to se- cure and market hens among the farmers, the flocks having been combed over for months now by truck buyers. The areas of the west which are being affected by drought are marketing hens heavily and two car lots from the west have arrived in Montreal within the past week and a half. Montreal has recceived car lots of live poultry from the west be- fore but they have been so few a8 to warrant them being classed as unusual. "The remarkable featurc of the situation as respecting tne marketing of live hens is that in spite of the unprecedented vol- ume of the movement all the re- ceipts, seem to be moving gnite readily into consumptive chan- nels. "It is probable that price is having some bearing on the situ- ation as values of live poultry generally are now froin three to five cents below this time last year."

WIL INCREASE OUTPUT OF COAL Moscow.-- Energetic measures to increase the nation's output of coal were urged by the central executive committee of the Com- munist Party. The committee, the highest body in Soviet Russia, warned that the coal industry was dang- erously backward. "Like grain several years ago," the committee's communique said, "Coal at present has become our most important political and economic problem, Unless a solu- tion is forthcoming, the speedy tempo of the Socialist construc- tion program is impossible." At least 900,000,000 rubles (nominally about $450,000,000) will be invested to expand the country's coal production, the NOTICE The DeLuxe Beauty Parlour in the Bradley Block IS NOW OPEN and will resume business as usual under the supervision of Mrs. Arthur Bouckley, formerly Miss Elsie Lowes.

Small Sailing Schedule London.--Still more decreases in trans-Atlantic sailings were an- nounced to-day by the White Star and Cunard lines.

An actress on tour became tired of paying railway fares for her small dog, so she bought a basket with ventilation holes, The first time she attempted to use it, the ticket-collector at the station barrier asked what was in the basket. "Hats," replied the actress, and went on to the platform, Before she had proceeded far ghe wag recalled by the grinning ticket-collector, who, pointing to a stump of fuzzy tail which wag- ged from one of the ventilation holes, remarked: "You'll have to pay for that one with the fea thers!"
