Mr. Crow always yawned a good deal when he chatted with Turkey Froudfoot, and he wasn't always as careful as he might have been about covering up his vawns. Somehow Mr. Crow found 'Turkey Proudfoot dull company, Turkey I'roudfct had never been off the farm. On the other hand, old Mr. Crow wa a great traveler. In his younger days he used to spend every winter in the south. And though he felt that the long -journey had become too hard tor him now, he thought nothing of flying around Blue moun tain and up and down Pleasant val ley. As a resqlt of his wanderings Mr. Crow had learned many things. And as a result of his staying at homi, Turkey Froudfoot had learned little or nothing. Often Turkey Proud foot complained to Mr. Crow that he couldn't even understand what Mr. Crow was talking about. But on this occasion Mr. Crow men tioned something that made him shudder. "Ho, h uin!" Mr. Crow yawned again. My appetite isn t what it used to be. I believe I need to eat something tart. So I think I'll go over to the cranberry boz and nick a few cranberries. Why don't you come along with me?" UrIi!" Turtcev Proudfoot ex claimed. "Cranberries! I can't stand even the mention of them." Hal Mr. Crow murmured to himself. "I've waked him un at kst. I thought that would fetch him." And to Turkey Proudfoot Ut said, "Do you mean to tell me thi t you don't like cranberries? Why, I've always heard Turkey and cran berry sauce mentioned together." u "Ah I" said Turkey Proudfoot. "I've no doubt you've heard them spoken of only too often. But that's no reason why I should be fond of cranberry sauce. To tell the truth, all my life I've- schemed n keep away from it." "Then you . don't care for the sharp taste of cranberries," said Mr. Crow. , "I've never eaten any," Turkey Proudfoot told him. "I'm sure I couldn't cat any if I wanted to. I believe the sight of them would take my appetite away." Old Mr. Crow shook his head. And he leaned over to pick up a stray kernel of corn. "Don't take that!" Turkey Proud foot warned him. . "I've. had. my eye on that kernel. I was going tr cat it as soon as yon went .away." Old Mr. Crow bolted the kernel of corn in a twinkling. "You forget that you're not in tlv farmyard," he said boldly. "You can't treat me as if I were a hen." And he chuckled in a croaking sort of fashion. . Turkey Proudfoot glared at him. He knew that it was useless to rush at Mr. Crow. The old gentlemn,) would only rise into the air and sail way with a loud haw-haw. ' Now, Mr. Crow was a famous tease. He dearly loved to annoy others. And he gave Turkey Proud foot a sly glance. "Ouch!" he exclaimed. "I have a twinge of rheumatism." . v "Where is your pain?" asked Tux key Proudfoot. "In one of my drumsticks," said old Mr. Crow promptly with a splut tering cough, to keep from laugh ing. Turkey Proudfoot was furious. "Cranberry sauce and drumsticks!" he exclaimed. "You do choose the most painful things to talk about " "I was only trying to be polite," Mr. Crow told him, "You're always complaining that I don't talk about matters you can understand." w "I understand these only too well " Turkey Proudfoot said, "espec ially at this season of the vear!"

Go up and get your heavier clothes on, for Harry is bringing a model car out this eve ning to Show it to us!" "Oh," and Jill was startled in deed. "Why didn't you tell mc sooner?" There was a jingling of the tele phone bell, and Jack answered. "Yes, yes. Harry. Up two more blocks, and one to the right, and then the third house on the left side of the street. Sorry vou lost .your way We'll be ready!" Jill started for the stairs', as Jack explained that his friend had driven all the way out from the city. It s a wonderful moonlight, honey, and we'll have a beautiful ride in this new car. Hurry, now." The car was outside before Jill was half dressed, and as Jack's friend Harry honked the horn. Jack urged for haste and more haste. Jill raced down stairs at last ahd they locked up the house. Jack s inend was a very charming chap and Jill's heart melted toward the new car as the three of them started out for a spin along the pleasant ' rural -roadways of the suburban district. They had ridden for perhaps more than an hour when Harry suddenly drew the car to a stop. "I'm afraid I'm lost," he said. "I thought I knew every road in this part of the country." He got out at a farm house, and learned his location. They were sev eral miles away from the nearest big thoroughfare or town. , As he started the engine again, something went bang! i "It's nothing," Harry told them. But more than an hour's work failed to fix the nothing. At last he gave up. "I know now it has broken a certain part that is especially patent ed for this car it's tough luck that you are strandard out here. I can't budge the car until I get a part from the office in town to replace this. I guess we'll have to roll her into this farm yard and try to find a railroad station."

Fundamentally THRIFTY5 B ENJAMIN FRANKLIN, from a poor and lowly printer's apprentice, became a wealthy man and powerful influence, upon America s future. a (3 Natioml Thrift Week . Jan. 17-2b Through his publication, "Poor Richard's Almanac," he constantly preached thrift and conservation. From the first savage who learned the wisdom of saving some of his firewood against the need of a rainy day, to the modern economy projects of the Conference of Limitation of Armaments, is a far cry, yet a striking illustration of the trend of progress toward greater .thrift. You, as an individual, can practice thrift to a greater extent than can any group of men or nations. Your income may not be large, yet you can increase it by saving a portion oi your earnings, and let these savings in turn work for you. Since our organization, more than thirty years ago, there has been regularly paid January 1 and July 1 of each year liberal dividends to our ever-increasing number of satisfied savings members. Your savings in any amount from $1.00 to $5,000.00 may be placed with us and will be protected by highly secured first mortgages upon improved or productive real estate, carefully appraised and conservatively valued, and will have the added protection of our Reserve Fund of $700,000.00. A thoughtful resolution to be regular in your saving will put you on the high road to success. You gain nothing by "waiting until you have a little money" to invest. Hundreds of our accounts, now of a substantial amount, were started with only a dollar and a determination to save. N Start today to save money.
