Nature’s Children Pecan Tree (Hicoria pecan). BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. T THIS time of the year, when the display of pecan nuts is so tempting, all we are aware of is the fruit of the tree, and we have little or no interest of the actual story behind the delicious food. Pecans are members of the inter- esting and important hickory family. They have a Southern distribution and may be found in Southern Iowa, Ulinois, Indiana and the Southern States that border the Mississippi River as far as Central Alabama. ‘They love rich soil, and they are happiest close to streams. They are now being planted on a large scale in orchards, and each becomes more and more popular. Even with the planting of pecans, the largest percentage of the fruit seen is harvested from trees growing in the woods and on private property. The fine, large paper shells, of course, are cultivated. In their native haunts many handsome trees may be found elong the roadside or in yards. The Indians gave to this tree its mame. They were well aware of the rich, tasty meat. Evangeline and her homesick year the fruit| pecans would supply them with needed nourishment during mlr dark days. may grow to a height of 170 feet. The wood is light, compact and hard. This has been fortunate for us. The fact that the wood is brittle has kept it from the lumberman’s ax. ‘The nuts yield a yearly harvest and the tree lives to & very old age. It is a far more valuable tree standing than in boards that eventually will be made into ax handles or wagon tongues. In order to have new trees, cions and buds must be depended on. Plant- ing fine seeds does not always pro- duce the same type as those planted. Each year new and valuable results are recorded for the propagation of new trees. The leaves are from 12 to 20 inches long and composed of 9 to 17 leaflets. They are & bright yellow-green above and paler below. The male flowers are in catkins and there are many of them, while the female flowers are in terminal spikes and of a greenish hue. The fruit is in a four-angled, thin husk and the color of the nut's coat is reddish, the texture smooth. The meat, as you know, has a sweet- ness and flavor of its own, The pecan grower has many things to bother him, for the tree has foes. There is what is known as the scab, | & most destructive disease: a fungus, leaf blotch, and even a crown gall. There is continual war between the tree, its owner and the pests, but sci- ence eventually will win, and what a Joy to have a handsome pecan tree of friends, who cried out longingly for their beloved Acadia, found that the your own.

ETER RABBIT stared at Jumper the Hare. Jumper stared at Peter Rabbit. They were startled. were those two cousins. Yes, sir, they were star- tled, not to say frightened. A Merry Little Breeze had tickled their noses with the smell of Bear—Buster Bear. It was strong. Buster must be very near. They peered this way. They peered that way. They saw nothing that looked in the least like Buster Bear. The floor of the Green Forest was white with snow. The logs and the stumps were white. Buster Bear wears a black coat, a very black coat. How could he be near enough for them to smell him yet be unseen against all that white? Before them was a fallen tree, a big tree. A great wind had torn it up by the roots, and these, with the earth they had brought up with them, made a sort of wall. Could Buster Bear be hiding behind that? They didn't dare peep around it to see. No sir, they didn't dare do it. In- stead, they took to their heels and away they went, lipperty-lipperty-lip. They had just one thought then and that was to get away from that place 8s quickly as they could. Jumper's legs being much longer than Peter's, he could make much longer leaps and so could run much faster than could Peter. “Wait for me, Cousin Jumper!” panted Peter. Jumper merely ran a little faster and soon was out of sight. Peter ran until he began to be out of breath. Then he came to a big bramble-tangle and crept into this. Fearfully he looked back. No one was coming. There was no sign of Buster Bear. Now when Jumper and Peter had started to run some one whom they had not seen at all was coming their way through the Green Forest. He didn’t see them until they ran. It was Reddy Fox. He didn't start after them. He simply stood still and watched them, “Now what has frightened those fellows?” muttered Reddy wonderingly. “I didn't scare them. They didn't see me and they certainly didn't smell me, for they are up wind from me.” Reddy began to look carefully for #ome enemy who might have so scared Jumper and Peter. He looked every- ‘where, up in the trees as well as on the #now-covered ground, even up in the e e e Brain Twizzlers BY PROF. J. D. FLINT. MANY are the gags about college boys writing home for money. One in particular stands out as being unique. Percy Sylvester-Stuyvesant was going to school at a very fashion- able college. After one notable week end in the nearby metropolis he wired ;u father, “Send more money,” signed S. Now, Percy may have been a Percy, but his father was a rugged business man of no mean ability. He was a little tired of Percy's ways and was anxious to teach the boy a thing or three. As a result the answer came back to Percy, “If you can arrange words in your wire as shown here SEND MORE MONEY and substitute figures for the letters so that a correct addition problem re- sults, I'll send you money. Different letters equal different numbers, but, of z\:;u, some letters equal some num- If you had been Percy, would you have gotten the money? Yesterday’s Answer.

He could see no one, and Reddy’s eyes are very, very good. “It might have been Whitey the Snow Owl, and because he has a white coat I failed to see him, but I doubt it,” said Reddy. “I think I'll go over there. Those fellows were running from something. Anyway they thought they were.” So Reddy moved slowly and cau- tiously toward the fallen tree from near which Jumper and Peter had run. He made no sound. His sharp eyes ears were set for every faintest sound.

A Merry Little Breeze stole out from back of the up- turned roots of the great fallen tree and tickled Reddy's nose. Reddy | looked startled, just as had Jumper and | Peter.

Now his fine, tall body was a little stooped, his light hair faded to the color of aclay mud lane and his keen blue eyes had a pa- tient look. And Lila? Her live complexion was a bit leathery, her crisp brown ringlets turned an iron gray and her fine, dark eyes had a faraway, wonder- ing expression as she waited—wait- ed through the years for her love dreams to come true. She was stanch and loyal. Once her promise was given to Joe she resolutely turned all other admirers away and cheerfully managed her little antique and gift shop. It seemed things would never get better for Joe. His mother held him to her with an iron will. Since the death of his father in Joe's early childhood she had tried to absorb and control her son's very thoughts and make him feel that they were indis- pensable to each other in the man- agement of their little model farm. And how she feared and hated Lila! * ok x % SEBING Lila had been exciting, even daring, for he always came home to his mother’s scolding admonitions. But he persisted. It was the only real happiness he had, even if he had learned to answer not at all. Just after Lila’s 38th birthday an- niversary things suddenly changed. Old Mrs. Marston became very ill. A distant cousin was called to the home to nurse her and keep house until she died. Lila simply could not feel sad, even at the funeral. But she was amazed at Joe's all-consuming grief. He would neither look in her direction nor speak to her. He did not call the Sunday after the funeral ., Anxious about his health, she telephoned his home, only to have the cousin answer, “He ain’t here.” When he did not call the next Thursday she resolutely drove out to the farm. Although she was sure she heard him walking out the back door—how well she knew his step!—the cousin again said, “He ain’t nowhere around here.” “But what's the matter with him? Is he sick?” Lila asked anxiously. “No, he ain’t sick and there’s no use your comin’ around here worryin’. He'’s promised to me, and when a de- cent time for mournin’ is over we'll gl‘ tmn'n“ ied. Hope you understand “Promised to you! Why, we've, been engaged 18 years! ‘You don't think I'll give him up as easy as that?” Lila's voice was angry and contemptuous. “Oh, you won't? Well, his ma fixed all that before she died. She made DAILY SHORT STOR' INTERRUPTED By M. Gertrude Slaughter. “Hope you understand that” FOE two days she kept her shop closed, not caring for food, not caring for any- thing. She must think this thing out. Did she still | love Joe after this, | s she wondered. Not | with the breath- taking ardor of her girlhood, but he had become a dear habit. And she knew she would never love any one else. But this was a Dbigger thing than just physical love. Her pride and dignity had been outraged. She would not try to see Joe again. If he proved so weak he was not worth fighting for. But she was also sure that she could not hold up her head and look at any one else in this community after being jilted at her age. Finally a plan formed. She would leave for California at once. Judge Lon Michaels would attend to the dis- position of her shop and send her the money. She had enough saved for a lengthy holiday. Later she would begin over out there. No one should witness her humiliation! When Judge Michaels heard her story he looked at her fondly, with the eyes of a friend tried and true. “Now, look here, Lila! Don’t be hasty and run away. As soon as Joe is over his first grief he’ll be back. Once his mother’s presence recedes into the background and he gets a good look at Maggie, nothing will stop him from coming to you.” “But Maggie is spreading the news that they're engaged,” she sighed. He took her hands in his. “Lila, dear, I've been mighty lone- you to marry me.” L SHE looked at him in amazement. “You and I?” she gasped. “We— we—but we don’t love each other!” “We’ll have mutual kindness and re- spect—comfortable companionship— and that's more than many married people have.” “Lon—I just can't decide—" “Let me decide for you. Youll never be sorry.” The very ney day the paper an- nounced the engagement of Judge Lon Michaels and Lila Gaulhert, followed in @ few days by wedding invitations to their close friends. To this rushing courtship Lila submitted as though in a trance. Then came the wedding day. Lila stood beside Judge Michaels in her ashes of rose dress, looking terri- bly frightened. Judge Macauley, & friend from a neighboring town, began to intone: “If any one here present——" but got no further, for from the door called the choked, hurt voice of Joe: “Lila, you can’t! You can’t do this!” Elbowing his way through the crowd, he reached her side and literally jerk- ed her into his arms. She clung to him trembling—a smile that made her look y‘:;n( and beautiful, illuminating her Strangely, there was also & smile on Judge Lon Michaels’ face. *Thought made out for you we'll proceed with 1 was deter- —to some since Millie died—I'm asking| _ perhaps I could jolt you to your senses, | beautiful Joe.

Reddy grinned again. “So that is where he is spending the Winter!” said he. “I've been wonder- ing where he could be. It's a queer place to choose, but there is no ac- counting for other people’s taste.” (Copyright, 1936,) — ey HELP _MEI AUTOMOBILE MECHANIC gt akes And JRmHoR: to0d salary. CAddress Box 190-X.
