BRAYDEN, By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright. 1024. DUBLIN, June 23.—The government will introduce in the Dail on Wed- nesday a long-delayed measure for dealing with profiteers. Prices in the ¥ree State have been higher since he war than anywhere else. This is mainly due to rings of retailers who sell food at enormous advances on ces paid the producers. The government was urged to adopt food control and fix prices. but thinks the war experience proved this to be a defective method. Under its plan loans will be given by banks fo associations of consumers and pro- lucers on condition that they sell balow the usual retail prices and the state will guarantee principal and in- terest.

There's this ahout an appetite: It may mistake a wrong for right. —Bobby Coon. Having slept through the greater part of the winter, Bobby Coon was making up for lost time, now that spring had come. He wandered about through the Green Forest a great deal. He was curious to know what had happened during the weeks he had been asleep. He was still more curious to know what was going on then, for in the spring there is a sreat deal going on in the Green Forest. But more than all he was concerned with his stomach. For a short time after he had first come out there had been little to eat, and he had grown thin. Of course. he had grown very, very hungry, and it seemed to him that he had been hungry ever since. So as Bobby wandcred about he was always look- ing_for something to eat Now it happened that late one afternoon, just before shadow-time, | Bobby chanced to be passing a cer- tain big trec. He stopped very ab- ruptly. He pricked up his ears and | listened with all his might. He heard nothing, vet he was sure that a moment before ho had heard some- | thing. i “By the rings on my tail, 1 am sure T heard a baby crying,” muttered Bob- by. “I don't know whose baby it was, but it certainly was a baby of | some kind that I heard. I wish the scamp would cry again. A little fresh meat would taste good for a| change. Yes, sir, a little fresh meat | would Just _thinking | about s hungrier than ever. Ha! What's that?" That was a _faint, whining cry There was no doubt that it was the | ery of a baby of some kind. Bobby looked this way and looked that way. | He couldn't tell where that voice came from. His eyes snapped with | eagerness. He kept perfectly still. In a moment he heard that cry again. Then another cry mingled with it “Two!” exclaimed Bobby. “Now where under the sun can those babies Do The complaining little cries ceased Bobby sat down and waited. He could afford to wait. He felt sure that sooner or later they would cry again. Sure enough, in a few mo- ments he heard those same whinning, complaining little cries. He turned his head suddenly and stared very taste good it 24, 1924. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS Those cries seemed to be coming from inside that tree. Yes, sir, they seemed to be coming from inside that tree. Very sofetly Bobby crept close to that tree and listened. Again he heard those faint cries. There was no doubt about it, they came from in- side the trunk of that tree. Then Bobby remembered something. He remembered that ther% was a big hollow in the trunk bf that tree. He had been in it more than once. The entrance was quite a way up “BY THE RINGS ON MY TAIL, 1 AM SURE 1 RD A BABY CRY- ING,” MUTTERED BOBBY. and on the other side. Bobby hur- ried around and looked up. Then | very carefully he used that nose of his trying to find the scent of any one who might have been climbing up or down that tree. But his nose told him nothing. He stared up at that hole and blinked. “I wonder. conder. babies are in there, Somebody's but whose they can be T haven't the least idea. don’t know that it matters much, as long as their mother isn't at home. I'm curfous. Yes, sir. I'm curious. I would like to have a look at those bables,” muttered Bobby. He looked hastily in all directions. Then he scrambled up that tree to the entrance.
