Should this rate of gain hold good with associations not reporting, and continue through the first half of 1333. it will mean an all around in* crease of 11 per cent in resources, carrying the total for the state well over the one hundred million mark at the close of the fiscal year on June 30, next. "During the fiscal year the associa tion distributed among their 147,456 chare holders in cash or credits. $4, 557.750. Borrowing members number 56.833, about one-third of all. The reserve fund required by law totals $3,633,736, nr 3.3 per cent of the mort gage loans.

I The Great World rails en.li to hlr ptare 1 To prove hia worth in life'" great rare. —Old Mother Nature. All the conceit was gone from Boxer. Jimmy Skunk had taken the very last from him. He no longer felt boastful. In fact. Boxer wanted, above all things, to keep out of sight of everybody. You see, Jimmy Skunk had given Boxer a dose of that bad smelling scent which Jimmy carries with him all the time, but never uses excepting for his own protection. And Boxer couldn't get lid of it. Ho what he would, he couldn't get j rid of it. Every one kept out of Boxer's way. It wasn't because they were afraid of him. hut because of that dreadful odor he carried with him. He couldn't enjoy his food, lie couldn't enjoy anything. Oh. how he did wish that he had left Jim#iy Skunk alone! "I'll never bother him again. No, sir. I'll never bother him again. When I meet Jimmy Skunk ho can "Where are you EnhiE?” whined Boyer. have the path,” said Boxer over and over to himself. Even Woof Woof, Boxer's twin sis ter, would have nothing to do with him. She wouldn't let him come any where near her. She, told hint very plainly that he had been served just right, and that she hoped it would be a lesson to him. She told him that he had been altogether too conceited, and that she hoped that now he would [ remember some of the things Mother j Bear had told them when they were little. Then she said goodby. "Where are you going?" whined Boxer. "I don't know, hut I'm going some where where the air will he sweet and i pleasant," retorted Woof Woof and [shuffled off. j Boxer wanted to follow her, hut he | hadn't the courage to. You see, ha ; felt too much ashamed. He tried to I te)l himself that lie didn't r are, hut I lie knew this wasn’t true. “Anyway, mk II come back after a while, saiu Boxer. But Woof Woof didn't come back that day. She didn't come hack the ! next day. On the third day Boxer . tried to find her. He wandered about I this way and that way, all through I I he Green Forest, but never once did be get so much os a glimpse of Woof Woof. He found places where she had been. He found old logs she had i pulled over, and rotted old slumps she had torn apart. But that was all lie did find The fact ds, Woof Woof had left the Green Forest. She had gone up ] to the Big Woods on the Great Mountain. She had parted from Boxer for good and all. Probably \ this parting would have taken place \ soon even if Boxer hadn't had that trouble with Jinimy Skunk. You see. j It was time for them to separate and go out into the Great World. It Was the time whleh comes to all the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows. That was one reason why Mother Bear had driven Boxer and Woof Woof away, and told them ; never to come back. She had known that it was time for them to take | care of themselves. Perhaps Boxer wouldn't have minded-so much had it not been that ho couldn't get away from .Timmy Skunk's dreadful scent. Pay by day it grew less and less, but It was with him for a long time. Whenever there was a damp, wet day. It became worse. "If only T could run away from it.” Boxer kept saying over and over again. "If only 1 could run away from it.” But. of course, he couldn't. He carried it right along I with him. * (Copyright. 1t»23.) The next story: "Boxer Makes a Surprising Discovery.” Bait on IFaziii}: at Marquette.
