You see, he had found a way of getting into Farmer Brown's corncrib where, was stored so much beautiful yellow porn that it seemed to him that there was enough for all the squirrels in the world. All he had to -do was to go up to Farmer Brown's dooryard very early in the morning, before Farmer Brown's Boy was up, climb the tree with the branch hanging low over the corncrib, drop down on the roof and slip through the hole he had found close under one edge of the roof.. Now the more some people have the more they want. It is the very WQrfct kind of Selfishness and i? called greediness. Chatterer, had found a way'fto get all the cotn tie warned without working for it, and there was enough to feed him a< long as he lived, though fie. shoulc live, to be a hundred v^ars old. TV be sure, it wasn't his. it was Farmer. Brown's. But Chatterer looked, on Farmer Brown and Fa rnver Brown's Boy as his enemies, arte, he could see nothing wrong in tafc ing things from his enemies. Per haps he didn't want to see anything wrong. After Chatterer had made a fev successful trips to the corncrib, -tic began to look upon it as his own.

But tnere was nothing he could do about it, so he would go back to the Old Orchard and scold for an houiT* But what made him still angrier was to see Sammy Jay help himself to a few grains of corn from between the cracks in the walls of the corncrib. He forgot how Sammy had first told him about the corncrib, and how Sammy had warned him about Shadow the Weasel. That is the trouble with greedit forgets everything but the desire to have and to keep others from having. Chatterer didn't say anything to Sammy Jay, because he knew it would be of no use. Be- J sides, if he did, Sammy might find him over in the corncrib some day , and .make such a fuss that Farmer j Brbwn's Boy viould find him. { ° Finally, Chatterer thought, of: a | .plan and chuckled Wickedly. The next morning he was over in the ' corncrib blight and early. This ! time he stayed there until it was 1 time for Sammy Jay to arrive. Peep- j ing out of the hole by which he came , and went, he saw Sammy come flying from the Old Oreha«l. Sammy made no noise, for, you See, Sammy meant to steal, too. Presently Sammy found a crack against which an ear of corn lay' very close. He began to peck at it and pick out the grains. Chatterer stole over to it, taking the greatest care not to make a sound. Presently Sammy's black bill came poking through the crack. Chatterer seized it and held on. Poor Sammy Jay! He was terribly frightened. He thought that it was some kind of a trap. He beat his wings and tried to scream, but couldn't because he couldn't open his mouth. Then Chatterer let go "so suddenly that Sammy almost fell to the ground before he could catch his balance. He didn't wait to see what had caught him. He started for the Green Forest as fast as his wings could take him, and as he went he screamed with fright and anger. Chatterer chuCWcd and his chuckle was a very wicked-sounding chuckle, "I guess," said Chatterer, "that Sammy Jay will leave my corn alone after this." By L. L.

" Hot Stuff: A gentleman--let's call him Jones--who lives in Jersey, has effected a considerable tire and gasoline saving by using his hunting horse to draw a cart. The animal has to be watched closely, however, to keep it from wrapping the cart around a tree. So, a flaw in the thrift program. Thy other afternoon. as Jones was taking a drive, a lighted cigarette dropped into his vest. Since he could use only one hand to extricate it, he was, as might be said, handicapped. However, he retrieved it, but a few minutes later, found himsHf afire. . He might have been hurt seriously but a friend happened along. The friend held the horse while Jones put out the fire--but not until an expensive 'waistcoat had been ruined utterly, a snappy tweed coat burned extensively and the end of a high-priced necktie consumed.

Um it Wimty Origin of Soil * The origin of a soil is the most important cause of either a natural deficiency of phosphorus or of a plentiful supply. Thus a soil derived from materials low in phosphorus will also be low in this element. There are soils that have a high total phosphorus content but because of a high lime content, the phospho- "rus is unavailable or insoluble. The ability of the soil to release its phosphorus is a measure of its fertility, and not the total amount in a soil. Dog Ordinances Dog ordinances fall, in general. Into two main categories--dogs arc licensed but may run at large, or dogs are licensed but must be kept on leash or in the charge of an adult. Under ordinances of the first typs, according to the survey, dogs may run at large during some seasons, but must be kept in their own yards or on leash during other seasons. This type of regulation if enforcedl makes it easier to keep dogs away from Victory gardens in summertime, the association said.
