Cockle-doodle-doo! Cockle-doodle- doo!" crowed the rooster, and then very proudly walked back to where the hens were for them to admire his brayery. Never had the young chuck heard a rooster crow before, excepting in the distance, and it made him shiver. The big rooster seemed a very terri- ble_fellow, to the young Chuck, and he had no desire to see more of him.” “I'll.stay here until those big birds &0 away,” said'the voung Chuck to himself. “I guess It was a mistake coming up herq I guess that funny old Mr. Toad Was right. However, this seems like a very good hiding lace, so I'll just stay here until there s a chance to get back to the Green Meadows.” For a while the young GChuck squatted right close to the hale through which he had entered. But he grew tired of sitting still. He detided to look around under Farmer Brown's barn. For some time he crept about, examining everything he found. He was beginning to feel quite at'home. He had seen and heard nothing to be afraid of. Suddenly, in the darkest corner, he came face to face with a stranger. It was so sudden and unexpected that the young Chuck was badly fright~ ened. Not knowing what else to do, he drew back his lips 5o as to show bis teeth and growled down in his “NEVER AR YOU! D WHO I _AM; WHO GROWLED THE | to develop its subtleties. ADYS HALL. Maurice aling present since wo are in directors, says that the generation will never see really great motion pictures and that the difference in_ fllm entertainment a hundred years from now will be as great .as that between the present airplane and the ox-cart mode of transportation of the past. Think. though, of comparing Gloria Swanson and Rudy Valentino to an ox team! Mr. Tourneur's work, as indi “The Isle of Lost Ships.” ass Bottle” and other successes, has distinctive in the attempts to do new things for screen entertain- ment. Despite this, he feels that the present-day motion picture industry is too close to the pioneering stage At leaut, didn’t ‘say that it is “in its infancy for which we are grateful. He does s Tourneur, di “We of this generation have been clearing away the brush, felling trees, blasting out stumps and cart- ing away boulders. We are prepar- ing the soil. With the next genera- tion will come the cultivation of the really fine things on the screen. “The most distinctive evolution in motion pictures will be in the ‘lan- guage' of the pictures, or their meth- od of telling a story. The picture of the future will suggest rather than depict. An indication of this is had already. A man leaves his home and Zoes to his office. We show him to- day with his arms_about his wife at the door; then in his office dictating to a stenographer. When pictures were new we would have shown him running down to the curb, stepping ir.to his automobile, riding, with trees, fappers, telegraph poles and baby carrfages flashing by, then alighting from his car, getting into an elevator, Langing his hat on the rack, opening the door lettered with his name, call- ing his stenographer, and then the dictation scene to which we merely jump now. - “Pictures ultimately will jump with the abruptness of cartoons. For in- stance, there is Jiggs contradicting Maggie. In the next drawing JIgss is on the sidewalk with a black eye and a halo of stars. You don’'t see him hit, but you know what happens. “Just' as the ploneers of this coun- tryswere, in the main, occupied with the building of their homes and de- veloping their soil for the present generation, which has in turn de- veloped the finer inventions now common, so are we of the motion pictures merely preparing the way for the real things to be portrayed on the screen by the génerations to come.” (Al rights reserved.)

Who are you?" growled the young Chuck. “I'm Robber the Rat. And I don't allow anybody in here” replied the stranger, trying to appear very bold and fierce. “Well, what are you going to do about it?" growled the young Chuck, for by this time he had. discovered that this stranger with the fierce- looking eves wis no bigger than him- self. In fact, if anything, he was a wee bit smaller. o the young Chuck put on u- bold face and stood his ground. “Nothing just now.” replied Robber the Rat in his squeaky voice. for he was a clever fellow, and of no mind to fight if a fight could be avoided “Tell me how you happe to be here,” he added in a mild tone. “I am. not used to having visitars, so you must excuse me if I. seeméd .-a’ bit im- polite.” Now, though he didn’t know"it, the voung Chuck had begun to feel lone- ome, and he was only too glad ,to have some one to talk. to. He téld Robber the Rat who he was'and how he had started out to see the great world. He told him of the terrible big bird that had chased him under the barn. At this Robber grinned. You see, he ‘guessed right away that that rooster had mistaken the young Chuck_for himself. .

The Canning Season. The June bride of 1922 was getting settled into her stride in her fascir | nating new job of housekeeping. Af- ter her six weeks' honeymoon in the deep woodsiness of a mountain re- sort, she had returned to the pretty suburban cottage awalting her, and rolled up . her sleeves it they had'nt already cnded just below the shoulder. She could pro- duce dainty breakfasfs and appetiz ing dinners that sent the June bride- groom into-ecstasties. She could en- | tertain guests with the grace and poise of a woman twice her age, and preside at the table in a way to make her husband thrill with pride. Then the canning season approach- ed. She would can things—tomatoes | and peaches and pears and plums How wonderful it would be to have shelves filled with shining jars full of the frults and vegetables she had put up. But it was a little early yet, for the berrles were gone and the fruits not yet plentiful enough. So she wait- ed. When finally great baskets of fruit appeared at attractive prices, she went forth to buy jars and rubber rings and wax, and found that the stock of these necessarfes had been exhausted in the little local store; and she took a day off to go to ¥ to buy them, a basket of was spoiled past re- the overripe fruit demption.

Instead of glass| jars for jelly, get jars of heavy waxed | paper. They are lighter to handle and keep the jelly just as well. Get new aluminum kettles to cook the stuff in. Don’t can too much this first year: Wait until you are more experienced. You will probably not eat it all, just you two, and the long Sessions of canning will make you hot and tired. Do just a little at first—a few jars of each kind. Then you will find which you like best and can make more or less next year.
