THURSDAY, MAY? THE WATNESTILLE MOUNTAINEER Blackie Bear DONALD DUCK .. t : - ,, 11 III ,l HOWLER VISITS HIS OLD FRIENDS " Story 96 Jay Bird is just about the best helper that anybody ever heard of. And he is an early riser. Many a morning he had been all over the woods, eating berries and other things for breakfast, and was back at Blackie's house before Blackie was out of bed. That's just the way it was on this morning that we are talking about, only on this morning ne nad been further away. He had been over to Mr. Man's house, and he had learned some thing that he knew would please Blackie. But there , wasn't any hurry about it, and so he sat down on the doorstep and waited for uiacKie to nnish nis sleep, After awhile, when he heard Blackie stirring inside, he pecked on the aoor. ciacKie knew that knock mighty well, so he opened the door, and told Jay Bird to come in and nave some of his breakfast. "It seems to me that you haven't had a good goose in a long time," jay bird said, "and maybe you would like to know where some are getting good and fat. There are two of them and their feet are hailed down to the floor of their pen to keep them from walk ing about and eettinsr the fat. off. They have been in there for about a week, and if you had seen what they have been eating you would think tney are about fat enough to eat. Anyway, that's what Mr. Man thinks about it, and I know he expects to kill one of these geese tomorrow and the other one for Sunday dinner. I heard Mrs. Man say so this morning. This must be what you were dreaming about last night when you let your pipe go out two or three times. Mr. Man and his wife are both going to town today, and if you know what to do with Rover Dog you might eat a nice goose." . Blackie was gnawing a ham bone right then, but he laid it down on his plate and laughed. "If I know what to do with Rover Dog! I reckon if J don't know what to do with him, Howler does. Wouldn't it be just fun for Howler to come back and spend the day with his old neighbor that he hasn't seen since that day when Uncle Joe hit him so hard? And couldn't Howler just tell Rover that he had been living away up in the mountains, where he had been running deer, and that he had learned to run so fast that he would bet just any thing that he could outrun Rover and catch a rabbit first ?, And then couldn't they run off in the woods j and lool about just as long as we want them to 7 Here comes Howler for his breakfast, and I will ask him whut he thinks." Howler did not see a thing the matter with the plans, and he said he really would like to see Rover Dog. "I am afraid the other goose would be lonesome if we should leave her there by herself, and ro you had better go and ask Jocko to come over here, Jay Bird Blackie said. You never saw plans work out any better. Rover was just as glad as he could be to see Howler, and he listened, with his t hanging out, to Howler's stories about his mountain hunts. But Rover just wouldn't believe that Howler could outrun him, and they were right off after rabbits. And just that soon a big bear and monkey were putting two i geese in bags. (To be Continued.)

The way people are planting gardens around this cbunty, indi cates that they are heart and soul in sympathy of the program to plant a garden and can the rur- ' plus. The people of Haywood have al ways been more or less self-sustaining, and a thrifty group of nara woricers. They believe in liv ing at home, and the program as now launched on a nation-wide basis is meeting with much favor in Haywood. , Down at Burgin's the general theme of live and let live has pre vailed throughout the years, and that is why so many people know that they can get more for their money plus the service which means so much.
