Nature’s Children October BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. CTOBER comes from Latin word meaning “eight,’ though it happens to be our tenth month on the calendar. There are more exquisite colors now to admire and rejoice over than in Spring. The lovely gentians are in bloom this month. There are late goldenrods and Joe-pye flowers, asters, marigolds and scarlet sage. The flow- er of the month is the hop blossom. ‘The maples begin to turn to golds, the sumacs red, orange, scarlet, brown and crimson; the oaks are in digni- fled rich greens, golds, scarlets, deep reds. The gum trees sometimes glow 80 they seem to set the hills ablaze Wwith their colors. The birds for weeks have been drifting down from the Northland on their way to the sunny South. The tree sparrow, the chickadee, the pine- finch, prairie horned-lark, snow bunt- ing, nuthatch and woodpeckers will remain with us through the Winter. Of course, it depends upon what part of the country you live in as to just what Winter you. What you do want very vour feeding boxes in to do is to ge good shape, and gather some weed ruc¥ ,»7,;%‘ e *"y much seeds and fruits for them as you go on your tramps these glorious October days. Just remember, birds in most cases can get along, as far as cold weather is concerned. It is lack of food and water they suffer from dur- ing snowy days. ‘The happy little goldfinches have thed their gay Spring apparel for dull olive-yellow suits. festive when the leaves have dropped away and the branches are bare. Make up your mind to see how many birds you can identify with ease this Winter. You will have all you can do to recognize and greet those that begin to arrive in late February and early March of next year. Now is the time to look about for eocoons. You can still see a few cat- erpillars making themselves comfort- sble for the long rest. Keep your co- coons in the cold in a good tight box. It is wise to remember that the co- €00 found under ground must be supplied with a covering of earth. Th weed stem or board have layers of silk protecting them. But keep them out- side, so that you can enjoy the miracle ©f their resurrection ni Spring. Of course, you will want to look for some of the homes of the seven famous sleepers as you go about in the cool October days. Try to see the beaver and muskrat put their last touches on their Winter residences and watch for bird nests where leaves have left them exposed to view. There are bittersweets to gather and their seeds to plant. The milkweed children are dancing on the breezs. Pick a bouquet of decorative grasses | for your home or school room. Gather | some of the hardy evergreen vines and plant them in a bit of soil; they make birds will remain with | Yet they still look | se exposed to view from leaf, fence, | | of the enemy | shrieked and beat | riedly the room so attractive and remind you constantly of the: outdoors. The pine cones the squirrels have stripped of their seeds make wonderful additions to your early open fires. Perhaps you will see the chipmonks and the squirrels as they race back and forth laying in Winter supplies, There are fine pumpkins in the flelds, apples blushing their brightest rose in the orchards and there are nut trees for you to discover.

LD Mr. Toad sat in Farmer Brown's garden with a sleeve of his old suit hanging from a corner of his big mouth. He had swallowed all the rest of his old suit but this, and pretty soon he would swallow this. He looked very nice in his new suit. That is, he looked nice for him. Nothing could possibly make such a hump-backed, bow-legged, pop-eyed fellow anything but homely, unless you looked at his eyes and saw noth- ing else, Those eyes are truly beau- tiful. Tommy, Sue and Sammy left him there while they started on through the garden on their way to visit the home of Reddy Fox, where they hoped to see some of the little Foxes. As they walked Tommy told his cousin more about Old Mr. Toad and what & good friend he was to have in the garden. “I don't know of any one, not even among the birds, who is of greater help than Old Mr. Toad,” said Tom- my. “The way I figure it is that the more Toads I have in my garden the better garden I'll have. They live on all sorts of garden pests and do no harm at all themselves. Hark! What was that?” The three stood still, listening. Then they heard a scream. It came from back where they had so recently watched Old Mr. Toad change his suit. It wasn't a loud scream, but un- mistakably it was a scream of fright, of a small person in great fear. Farmer Brown's Boy started back on the run, and his cousins followed. “What is it, Tommy?” asked Sam- my as they ran. “I don't know, but I think it is Old Mr. Toad,” replied Tommy. ‘“Some- thing must have happened to him since we left.” “We haven'. been gone more than two minutes. How could anything have happened to him in so short a time?” cried Sue. Just then they saw Old Mr. Toad. He was vainly struggling in the grip he fears most. Sue & hasty retreat. Sammy backed away almost as hur- and began to look for a stick “Sweeten it with Domino Refmed ARE YOU TRAINING YOUR BABY TO BE A or & stone. Only Tommy kept om. Bluffer the Adder, the Hog-nosed Bnake, held Old Mr. Toad fast by one leg, which he already had well down his throat. Just as Old Mr. Toad had swallowed his old suit, a little at & time, so Bluffer the Adder had begun to swallow Old Mr. Toad & little at a time. But he didn't have a chance to do any more swallowing. Tommy put & foot on Bluffer’s neck, and the latter promptly released Old Mr. Toad. Poor Old Mr. Toad. He was more pop-eyed than ever. Those eyes were as golden Give him the right start by feeding him Stokely’s = the better tasting baby foods Forcing your baby to eat food he doesn’t like may influence his health the rest of his life. A mother runs no such risk when she feeds her baby Stoke- 1y’s Baby Foods. Open a can of | ’thesc better prepared foods and taste the garden-fresh flavor. Note the appetizing color. Then feed them to your baby and watch how he loves them. Stckely’s Baby Foods are prepared by a special com- minuting process which uti- lizes all the edible portionsofthe vegetable, preserves natural flavor ‘and color, retains val- uable vitamins and mineral salts. It also reduces each prod- uct to a smooth, uniform tex- ture, easily assimilated and digested. Because of this comminuting process Stokely’s Baby Foods taste fresh and delicious. That’s why babies take them so eagerly. Mothers who feed Stokely's experience little diffi- culty in getting babies to eat second year foods...because Stokely’s natural flavor is similar to that of regular family foods. Ask your doctor about Stokely’s. VALUABLE BOOK FR EE ! FOR MOTHERS Contains foreword writ- ten by Angelo Patri, famous educator and child psychologist.

He left in a hurry, with such long hops as would have been a credit to his cousin of the Smiling Pool, Grand- father Frog. Sammy came running with a stick, which he held out to Farmer Brown's Boy, taking care to come no nearer than necessary. “Here,” he panted. “What's that for?” asked Tommy. cflmnn- " 4 6)- colors umrne zherf "' ‘mah. with " you'll “dyes "“ma‘l’ A REVOLUTIONARY DEVELOPMENT « « » this thing Swift is doing with veal. Bet- ter for us dealers and for you, our customers. Up to now, veal shipped with the hide on to help retain its freshness. When shipped with the hide off, the meat has been practically unprotected. Now Swift has devised a truly sanitary method that effectively protects the veal— “To kill that ol' Snake with,” re- plied SBammy. “I don’t want to kill him,” said Tommy. “Why not?” demanded SBammy and Sue together. “Why should I?” asked Tommy in his turn. “Because he's a Snake, Snakes should be killed,” Sammy. “That shows how much you know about Snakes,” retorted Tommy. “Most Snakes do more good than harm. This fellow is one of the most harmless of the lot.” “He's poisonous,” insisted Sammy. “Any one would know that, just to look at him.” Tommy grinned. “There isn't & drop of poison in him,” said he. “Do you remember what I said a little while ago about not believing ,every- thing you see, or think you see? This fellow may look dangerous, but he isn’'t to any one but Old Mr. Toad and others like him. He's a bluffer, and all declared nothing worse, ang I'll prove it to you.” (Copyright, 1987.) has commonly been Calais’ Plight Sad.
