THOSE gentlemen in charge of R publican _campaign speakers are busy now asking themselves how it hap- pened that they overlcoked Dolly Gann as a spellbinder back in 1928. For the sister and official hostess of Vice President Curtis has developed into one of their prize orators on the stump. She is re- garded as a big gun of the Repub- lican artillery, and a strong drawing card. And probably no one is more sur- prised than Mrs. Gann herself at her success. At first she con- fined her speeche: to more or less ob- scure gatherings of women here and there more for the fun of it than any- thing else.

He is authority for the state- ment that he gets more requests for her than he can fill. Her succe perhaps, lies in an un- canny ability to size up an audience.

It is in this way that he learns much about his neighbors ond their affairs. It would surprise some of them to learn how much Reddy does know about them ‘ It was early in June that late one | afternoon Reddy left the Old Pasture | and entered the Green Forest. He had nothing special on his mind. He was not headed for any place in particular. He was simply out for what he might find where he might happen to roam. As the Black Shadows began to creep | through the Green Forest Reddy found others astir. He met Unc’ Billy Pos- | sum, who grinned at him from the top of a stump. Over on the bank of the Laughing ok he came face to face with Bobby Coon. They were most polite to each other.

Slowly Reddy put that foot down. He had no special interest in Mrs Lightfoot. She was far too big to have any cause for fear of him. He really didn't care whether she saw him or not. Still, out of force of habit, he remained hidden, watching to see what she would do. Down to the water's edge came Mrs. Lightfoot. For a moment or two she | still, looking. listening and smelling. Then she lowered her head and drank. It was a beautitul picture, but one that Reddy had seen vefore many times.

With a real chocolate taste, it supplies in a pleasant organic combination three of the most necessarynourishing and body-building ingredients known : blood-enviching irom, bone-building calcium, and bealth-promoting phosphates.
