It was the first day of a new year, and Old Mother Nature was doing her best to make a beautiful one. She believes that that which has a right start is likely to continue right. So now she was doing her best. Jumper the Hare was one of the first to be out and about. There was an ex- cellent reason for this. Jumper's big, hair-covered feet were like snowshoes ‘The great storm was over. - It had been one of the worst Winter storms for years. The snow lay deep, very deep, all through the Green Forest and all over the Green Meadows, which now ‘were white instead of green.

In fact, all the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows were thinking of their stomachs, for few of them had been able to get anything to eat during the storm, and some of them were very hungry indeed. Even now some of them would have to wait for the snow to settle before they could move much. And for some the finding of food was going to be hard work because of the snow. However, it was not so far Jumper the Hare. The deep snow brought within easy reach a new sup- ply of food. You see, there were and young trees from which he had nipped off the buds and cut the tender twigs and gnawed the bark asfar up as he could reach before the coming of the snow. Now he could reach a new sup- ply from the top of the snow. So Jumper the Hare was in a hnpgy mood as he started out to get his break- THURSDAY, JANUARY ‘1, 1931 ered ones, of the time, run as onl ened. Un second roar.
