C, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 21, 1921. i ii inker Stone MANY by Car lysle R Hoicomb CREATURE S Wh.m Mr. Moon shone fully upon the fellow who was trying: to turn Chief Porky over. Tinker Bob saw for the first time someone who was not familiar to him. He was long of body, with very short legs. lie had a long tail, and "his fur was as long as that of "Willie Beaver. He thought it would be brownish-black in color if the sun could shine on it. He acted like the wonderful Mr. Wtasel, the Great. "That's just the fellow I was telling vou about. O King." said Major Pole bat. "If you will lot me out of here I will soon fix him." That is the very thing that Major would have done had he beon given the cnance. i ms iei low would have gone to the river in a hurrv and been glad to stay there as Silky was when he thought he was catching Jack, the "Rabbit. In the shadows where the Moon rould not shine there were other crea tures waiting to see who would be vic torious. There could be seen now and then some creature dart ins across a light spot on the ground. Also a twig cracked every little while indicating that there were some larger creatures watching tlio fight from the darkened thicket. Tinker Bob was anxious to see just what his Chief of the Forest would do if the enemy was successful in turning him over. 'That was the reason the I'ihcr .-features of the forest were gath ered there. They too were interested in the Chief for "they know hint to be h follow that allowed everyone to go their way unmolested. I can tell you truthfully that Chief Porky had many friends amongst the forest creatures, for in his work for the King he had vjlutil many of them out of just such Lroiiil a this.

The trouble was that he was not always seen and when he came into sight he was so close that no one was abie to get out of his path. He was a fast runner, and had at different times molested the.

Beat all up well and bake in slow oven 40 min ites. Makes one loaf. Boston Brown Bread Two cups corn meal, two cups graham flour, two cups buttermilk or sour milk (buttermilk is better), one-half cup good cocking mo lasses, one-half cup sugar, one tea spoon salt, two teaspoons soda. Put this mixture into a greased dish, cover closely to keep out water and steam three hours. Do not remove the cover. Graham Bread One-half cup of white flour sifted with two teaspoons of baking powder, .three-fourths of a teaspoon of soda, and a teaspoon of ealt: "wo cups of graham flour, one third cup of sugar or molasses dis solved and beaten with one and a half cups of sour milk: one-fourth cup of shortening. To lighten the graham, sift it partly, then pour what is in the SUGGESTIONS. Laundry Hints White cotton or lin en clothes may be soaked to advan tage .ill day or over night. It is a mistake to think that woolens cannot be soaked at all. Soak them in a weak solution of ammonia in barely warm water for half an hour. This will not injure the woolen and will make it easier to wash. All clothes should be turned inside out in washing. A good idea is to wash the outside first, then turn the clothes, wash on the inside, and leave turned this way for drying. If you use a washing machine, a good plan is to soap the clothes right side out IN MYERS PARK $9856-49600 Two splendid new homes on Queens Road, ready for po?.. offered for sale at very low prices.
