POOH MR. OWL
AIT R. OWL is a very wise bird, all
DO. the wood folks knew, but when
»e managed to rid the big tree where
he lived of Mr. and Mrs. Woodpecker
he was looked upon as being wiser
than ever.
Mr. Owl had been kept awake all
day and nearly all night and the next
day, by hammering of the Woodpeck-
ers, who had choBen to make their
home iu the tree where he lived and
he was sleepy and cross—Mr. Owl
was, I mean.
“Don't you people stop that noise
for awhile and let a fellow sleep?’’
he asked. "1 have to be out at nlglit
to make my living and here you folks
hammer away all day and last night
l was so sleepy I could not go out,
though a body could not sleep for
your noise.”
"We are going to finish our house,"
retorted Mrs. Woodpecker. "We build
m
M.
"Can’t You Stop That Noise?”
our own home. We re not like some
folks I know, take the leavings of
others.”
For a minute Mr. Owl did not reply
to this hard thrust of truth, for it was
a well-known fact in Woodland that
Mr. owl often took the nest of Mr.
Crow or oven that of Mr. Squirrel,
so he blinked a minute and then said:
“Are you going to stop that hammer-
ing tonight or not?”
Mr. Woodpecker let bis wife do all
ttie talking and site replied that if
they finished their work they would
stop, otherwise she would go on ham-
mering until the plaee was as deep
as she wanted it.
Mr. Owl could not see very well,
hut it seemed to him there was much
more hammering to be done before

THE RIGHT THING
at the
RIGHT TIME
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
N«ver find your delight in another’s
misfortune.—Publiue Syrue.
VOIR CALLS
rp HERE are some women who really
■L seem to delight in making their
calls on other women just when those
calls will cause the most emburruas-
nient. Mrs. Jones, who lias three or
lour servants and no household re-
sponsibilities, save the supervisee., of
tier servants, seems to enjoy dropping
in on Mrs. Smith, who has three chil-
dren and no servants, at about nine in
the morning, finding the Smith house
in considerable disorder, Mrs. Smith
In an ill-fitting morning dress, and the
youngest of the Smith children in his
trtost peevish mood. Mrs. Jones ex-
plains that she had important com-
mittee work to discuss with Mrs.
Smith ; hut site could just as well have
telephoned her errand or ut least huve
telephoned to warn Mrs. Smith of
he* arrival.
Then there are the people who al-
ways call when they know you have
house guests. They drop In Sunday
afternoon possibly when you have
planned to take a stroll over to the
Country club or to go motoring or
rambling through the country.
There are some people whom you
like very well and whose presence Is
a pleasure when you meet them after
working hours whom you would very
much rather not have come to see you
at yottr office or place of business.
The day they select to drop In is sure
to be your busiest day. “Don'tlet me
disturb you at all,” they say, as they
tuck themselves Into a chair In yottr
office. “I haven’t anything else to do
so I’ll just sit here with a book or a
magazine until yon are ready to go
out for luncheon.” Or possibly if yon
have no office of your own they seDd
Id for you to come to see them In the
outer office of the establishment where
you work, or sit on r stool In front of
the counter where you work as sales-
person, little realizing that they are
jeopardizing your position, possibly,
by being seen there during business
hours.
There are times when the short call
Is required by courtesy, but to moke
that call Jong is extremely inconsid-
erate. So when there is illness in a
friend's household you should call to
Inquire for those who are ill and also
to ask whether you can be of any serv-
nce, but your call. If you wish to make
yourself a welcome caller, should not
he extended over more than five or
ten minutes. Likewise a call of con-
dolence should be extremely short,
unless, of course, It ts perfectly patent
that IB making It longer yon are of
actual assistance or comfort

Hangs were as Mrs. Wood peckc,
wanted.
Now Mr. Owl had heard Mrs. Wren
and ber husband chattering un a limb
of the tree that morning about finding
a place to live because two very rude
sparrows had taken the place the\
had the year before and though the>
had scolded and threatened they wer.
not able to make the sparrows move
out.
“I will tell them about this place.'
thought Mr. Owl. '"The hole the)
have now will he plenty big enough
for the Wrens and they won’t hammei
tuy head off as these noisy creature-
are doing.
It was not easy for Mr. Owl to gel
about hi daytime but he managed to
find Mr. and Mrs. Wren and told them
about I lie fine place they could have
if they could drive away the Wood
peckers. “I am sure you can do this
when one of them Hies away for din
ner," said Mr. Owl. "You know they
never stop that hammering, for one
stays on duty while the other Is away."
Mrs. Wren was so excited slie could
not keep quiet and as soon as Mrs.
Woodpecker Hew away over went the
Wrens, flying straight into the eyes
of astonished Mr. Woodpecker, chat-
tering ami flapping tiieir wings until
lie was glad to leave the tree.
It did not take Mrs Wren a second
to inspect tlie house while tier husband
stood guard outside. "We will take it,’
she said, poking out tier head, arid
I bough it wus a noisy battle they had
when Mrs. Woodpecker returned with
her husband the Wrens kept ttie house.
"Now I will huve a little peuee."
said Mr. Owl solemnly, and all the
birds around who had been watching
said, “O wise Mr. Owl, how very wise
you are Indeed.”
But alas and alack for Mr. Owl’s
well-laid plans for pence, in a few
days lie was holding his ears to stiut
out tlie scolding chatter of Mrs. Wren,
for he did not know that she was a
had scold.
Mr. Owl knew better than to try to
get Mrs. Wren to move, lie disliked
n quarrel anyway and well he knew
lie would get the worst of it if he com-
plained of Iter noisy chattering.
So one night lie took his belongings
under ids wing and silently went away
to find another home far from ham-
mering woodpeckers and scolding Mrs.
Wrens.

A BUSINESS PERSON’S HAND
XRFOl’LD you succeed in business?
*V Study your bund carefully, and
note whet1 "r the palm, the fingers, ttie
mounts, tin* lines, etc., bear the indi-
l
cations which have been found,
through study, to mark the hand of
the successful man or woman of busi-
ness.
In Ilie first place, the hand should
lie of good size, and inclined toward
squareness, as indicating practicality of
mind. Next, the consistency of the
hand should he firm, as allowing en
ergy.
The top phalanx or division of the
thumb should be large and well-
shaped, for this Indicates good will-
power, which is so necessary if one is
to win success in the world of affairs.
Reason and logic, also necessary qual-
ities in business, show themselves In a
well-shaped second plmlunx of the
thumb. Then turn to the finger of
Apollo, the third or ring finger, and
note whether the middle phalanx is
long and well-shaped. If so, It Indi-
cates a love of work, which leads, of
course, to success.

Many students of advertising say
that the country newspaper is the
best advertising medium in the
world. This is so because such
publications are very thoroughly
read.
Even a small notice can't be
buried out of sight of the eagle eyes
which are gleaming everything that
the home paper contains. The folks
are more interested in the announce-
ments of their home town merchants,
than in any piece of news in the pa-
per, local or general.
This gives the country town busi-,
ness man a wonderful chance to
communicate with the people at a j
lew cost, and get their support for|
enterprising moves that he may de-
sire to make. If he has an opportuni-.
ty to buy a large lot of goods at
a specially low price, he can feel con- j
fident that he can promptly turn them!
into money, because through the1
country paper he can inform the
i whole neighborhood ^that he has
placed such a lot on sale at low prices,
j The merchants in West who have
not thoroughly tried out the results
j of advertising special values in The
News are missing splendid opportuni-
ties to draw in new trade and enlarge

Certain species of hawks have a

130 miles an hour, says the biological

a suitable rate for a racing airplane.
The cnnvasback duck can fly from 130
