A. Lillycrop Wtitirn Nwipper Union.) Chapter Two A SURPRISE On the morning of her Birthday Party Betty awake before day. "Oh Mother;" said she, awakening her mother, "I'm so excited I can hardly wait!" When time for the party finally ar rived, mother said: "You go now and meet the boys and girls at the door." And such fun Betty had doing it! Soon Marie and Virginia and Richard came. Then Phyllic and Joe and Sam mie. i' And it was simply gorgeous telling ach of them "Howdy do" herself as mother always did her friends. But gradually, when the others had all arrived, Betty began to feel dread fully disappointed. Scarlet Bunny lightedly "Woldn't it be great if we could all take a ride in it!" "So you can, so you can!" blurted out Scarlet Bunny. "This plane will lift up every one of you." "Why how can a thing so tiny do that?" asked Betty. "Just go outside," replied Scarlet Bunny, "Then all of you smile at each other and appreciate it; and it will be large enough to lift up all of you. Most people have things in their lives that would life them up, but they must appreciate them to use them." Quickly they all followed Scarlet Bunny out into the yard. They plac ed the tiny plane in the midst of their circle. Then as they smiled at each other and appreciated the little plane sure enough, before their very eyes News Will Publish Stories For Children had said that he was coming and that ! it grew large enough to lift up ev he was going to bring her a surprise and he had not come at all, , About this time, however, mother started some games and Betty had to help her friends have a good time at her party even though she was dis appointed. So she entered as heartily as she could into playing with them, "Farmers in-the-dell." But at the end of it, when all the children crowded together to sing: "The Knife Stands Alone!" and to clap their hands over the head of Joe, who was the "Knife," she was thinking so hard: "Where can Scar let Bunny be?" that she clapped her hands by mistake over the head of (Brother Bill. And he nearly scared her out of her wits by yelling out: "Hey, Sleeping Beauty, wake up!" Next, mother started them playing the game of "Pinning the tail on the donkey," And, before she knew it, Be'ty was again thinking so hard a bout Scarlet Bunny that when it was her turn she missed even the place where the donkey was, and to the great delight of all the boys and girls she almost pinned the donkey's tail on Father who had slipped in for a moment to see how the party was going. She just could not stop won dering: "What had become of Scar let Bunny?" Finally, however, mother led them into the dining room for refresh ments and there even Scarlet Bunny was forgotten for the moment. The Birthday cake, with its light ed candles, was lovely. And it was such fun to blow out the candles with all the boys and girls taking turns at trying it. Also, the ice cream was so good that each bite made your mouth water for the next spoon ful. You could not think of anything else while this lasted. But as they were finishing the re .freshments and everyone had settled down to the still quiet of enjoying the last bites of their cake and cream suddenly the front door slammed. And everyone heard a hurried step j coming Hippity-hop,, Hippytyhop, j Hippity-hop towards the dining room. Quickly, all loked up and to their amazement they saw a red rabbit, with a large bow of white ribbon a round his neck, coming into the din ing room bringing a bundle. "Oh look!" said one of the boys for the others were too surprised to speak, all except Betty, whose face lighted up as she cried out joyously: "It's Scarlet Bunny! he has come to my party after all!" "Yes," chimed in Scarlet Bunny, "I wouldn't have been late except for this silly fashion beys and girls have of uncomfortably dressing up to go to their parties. I didn't have any other clothes but this red suit which I al ways wear; and to be lika the rest of you, I had to go up town before I came and bujf this ribbon." Bettye never remembered quite how it happened but she found Scar let Bunny's package in her hands and all the boys and girls excitedly crowd ed around her to watch her open it. Betty's fingers seemed all thumbs but she finally managed to untip th blue string and to unwrap the blue paper in which the package was wrapped. And what do vou sunnnse she found? When she removed the blue paper, she found that her pack age had another wrapping around it of orange colored paper tied with an orange string. Quickly, Betty untied this second wrapping and she could hardly believe her eyes. The package was wrapped in still another wrap ping this time of red paper, tied with a red string. Some of the boys and girls gig gled. Betty stopped and looking at Scarlet Bunny asked: "Is this truly a curprise or are you only fooling me?" - "Oh yes,'N answered Scarlet .Bun ny, "You have a valuable surprise in your package but you are acting like some grown people who have valuable things in their lives but won't both er to unwrap them." Betty unwrapped the package once more and then she gave a gasp of de light. For what do you suppose was inside? , There was a little red air-plane. It was not a toy. But it was a real lit tle air-plane with an engine and ev erything, only it was no bigger than your hand.

"Oh mother, please let Scarlet Bunny take us up for a ride, won't you?" asked Betty. And mother, as excited as the rest of them, nodded her head, "Yes," Only," she said , '"Just go up a lit tle way this time and when I wave my hand,, come right back down a gain." With a shout they all piled into the back seat of the plane. That is, all except Betty. Scarlet Bunny had her sit up in the front seat with him so he could teach her tc manage the control stick. With a put-a-putt, putt the plane gracefully soared right up over the top of Betty's house and headed over the College campus. They were all too happy for words. Looking down, they saw that all the houses and the College buildings i looked like doll houses. And Betty's j mother standing in tho yard, looked exactly like a doll. As they looked at her, they notic-l ed Betty's mother was already waving j her hand to them to come back. So I quickly Scarlet Bunny started thej plane back down again. But just be-1 fore he did, he whispered to Betty. ; "Look over at those woods on the ! Campus." As Betty looked, he added in a whisper: "That's where some Fairies live. Some day I'll take you over there." j There was not time for more. In a moment the plane gently landed. And as the children piled ; out, there were their mothers and nurses waiting for them because it 'vas time for them to go home. Then, while Betty was busy tell ing her friends good bye, Scarlet Bunny slipped away. When all the oters had gone, Betty stood looking at the plane wondering: "Is all of this really true or have JOIN THE BETTY AND SCARLET BUNNY CLUB 1. Do a deed of Kindness For Somebody. 2.

On low flat country, where water has a tendency to rise in the trench, this form of silo is not practical. A write-up of the death and fun eral of Mrs. Mason was printed in the News last week, but as a portion of this was inadvertently left out in makng up the paper, the foregoing is printed this week.

In building a sweet potato curing and storage house should I i use bins or crates? What is the best size for storage? ! Ans. Crates have been found to be more satisfactory than bins. There is less handling by using crates which prevents much bruising and skinning of the sweets. A crate holding one bushel and measuring , twelve inches wide, 15 inches long, and twelve inches deep is the one j most commonly used and is the most economical. This size crate is eas-1 ily handled and also gives a conven-1 ient method of measure. ! : FALL j ' SUITS See our new j T FALL j LINE i II i MRS.

Slaughter and A. P. Stevens for . After removing the males from the breeding pens how long will it ' be before I can be sure of getting in fertile eggs? Ans, There is some variance in j reports on this question but experi mental studies show that two weeks is the least time recommended be- j tween fertility and infertility after: the males are removed. It is best, however, t' allow for a variation in , breeds and birds and to wait three I weeks before guaranteeing as infer-! tile the eggs from the layers. Q. Can trench silos be used for large as well as small herds? Ans. Yes but it is not so eco-! nomical. A herd of from six to fif-j jteen mature cows is best adapted for,' using the trench silo due to the cost ; of building the vertical silo. As a usual thing the income from the larg ' I er herds will be sufficient to take care of this overhead expense. Silage ,can also be removed from the ver tical type much easier than from the , trench and where there is a large herd to feed this added labor will make some difference. There is no ; difference in the silos as far as pre-1 ::tailor made;: suits at prices ranging from $17.50 TO $36.00 Come in, look, and ask questions JOHNSON Saunders Dry Cleaning Co.

Compare the way the two cars have stood up. Compare the gas and oil mileage each is getting. YouH be surprised at what a differ ence there is in favor of Chevrolet. Chevrolet's wood-and-steel Fisher body remains tight, staunch and trouble-free. Chevrolet's chassis stays rigid and solidshows none of the ill effects of age or wear. Chcv- ' rofct's six-cylinder engine contxaoes to pair along smoothly, quietly and dependably. And it cortfiraics to ' , . give the same aU-aroond economy as . ' it did when new. 'C - The reason for this difference after 10,000 miles can be summed up in three major facts: First, Chevrolet is such a wonderfully well-built car. Second, Chevrolet has adequate weight, unusual ruggedness and' strength to withstand the effects of long, hard usage. Third, the Chevro let engine has SIX CYLINDERS. And SIX is the fewest number of cylinders you can have in a car, and avoid destructive vibration. Play safe, in choosing that low priced car of yours. Put your good money in a sure thing.
