But are you Koinjr to sift ashen tfcl
morning, and pick out cltnkari to
scratch the hack of a Bnltcher?"
"I think not. ' answered Uncle Wi
giiy. as he rraclousry pardoned Nurse
Jane. " think I fhall r look for uu
adventure "
"Ha' That Is as it should be!" ex
claimed Miss Puuy Wuiay. "And. while
you are on your way adventuring
would you mind going to the store for
me, and Retting: me three pounds of
sugar" We must still he saving of it,
even though the war is over, for there
are many poor starving ones who
haven't any sugar hi all. Hut I need a
little to help grt read) the good things
to eat for Christmas, So bring ma
ugar from the store."
"I will," promised Uncle Wiggily. and
away he started tn have an adventure
On and on he went, over the fields audi
thmugh the woods, nut no adventure
could he find, and soon he was at the
store, where the grocery cat wrapped
up the hag of sugar for him.
"I'll put plenty of string on.' said
the grocery cat, "na It has been snow
ing and Is slippery And if you should
fall down. I nc!e Wlgglly. and your
sugar should bounce, out of your paws.
It won't KpHI all nvw IP it has plenty of
string around It."
"Very well, and thank you," said the
bunny
Then, with his bag of sugar under
his paw once more, the bunn v uncle
rabbit started off.
"I do hope have an adventure," he
said to himself "Even mooting the
Bnltcher again, and scratching his hack
with a soft boiled egg. wouldn't be so
bad "
And then, nil of a sudden, as Uncle
Wlgglly went along through the woods,
all of a sudden, in about as long as II
takes for the baby to pull her pink lor,
all at once, the bunny rabbit gentle
man heard some one say:
"Oh. dear' "
"Ha That sounds like old times'"
t exclaimed Uncle Wlgglly "That sounds
iust like trouble, uttd its long as It isn't
the ikl I lery-sealery alligator, with the
double jointed nibs oil his tail, I'll help
hofver It Is "
So he looked around through the
oodl. and he called ;
the mat
' Who are vnu. and what's
ter and how ran 1 help you?'
"Oh. I'm Jumping Jack." was the
answer, "and I'm lying In the snow
under this bush As for what's the
matter. I'm afraid my jumping days
are over Alga, and alack-a-day
"Oh, sav not so"' cried Uncle Wig
glly. "What happened, and why
you no longer jump, you Who say your
name is Jack?
"I can't Jump been use my siring Is
broken." went on the voice "Listen to
my sad story' Listen!"
"I will listen." spoke the bunny uncle
just like a nice telephone girl.
"This Is bow it happened." went on
the poor creature, and then Uncle Wig"
gllv saw on the snow, under ft bush, a
red, blue, green, yellow and pink
pa Inted jumping Jack "You see Santa
Claus was toting me along in his pack
and"
"You don't mean to sav Santa ClftUS
has been here, do you?" cried Uncle
Wlgglly, looking around the woods
"Of course he has,' said Jumping
Jack, his real name being Jack Jump
ing, but, as he stood backward on hl
head so much he was called Jumping
Jack. "Of course. Santa ClaUa has been
here," he went on, "Why. it's only a
week to Christmas, Well. I was among
the toys In his pack, but the wax doll
tried to take a fly In the submarine
airship anil she crowded me out I fell
from the bag to the ground, and the
String which must be pulled to make
me Jump Is broken That Is why I say
"alas and "a lack -a-duy ! ' My jumping
days are over I shall make no tittle
boy or girl happy ibis Christmas."
"Oh, ves, von will'" cried Un-!e Wlg
glly. "Yes you will If It Is only a
Mring you need 1 have it here, The
grocery cat put some extra cord on
Nurse Jane's sugar. I'll soon mend you
as good as ever."
Then Uncle Wlgglly, taking some of
the sugar cord, fled a new string on
.lumping Jack, or Jack Jumping, ac
cording to how you looked at him.
Jack cried ' Murray'" and away he ran
(hrugh (be woods to bop back In the
pack of Hants Claus. Everything was
all lght again, von nee, and Uncle
Wlgglly had had his adventure.
So this teaches us that It Is a good
thing to have Christmas come once a
year, anyhow; and if the circus ele
phant at the toy store doesn't pul the
camel's hump In his trunk and try to
take off on a picnic I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wlgglly and the wagon.

"We can not hold Ihe Dardanelles

This meant, of course, that unless

the war, In a comparatively brief per

the same result. It Is thus perhaps
not too much to sa tout. In Seplem-

LIVE STOCK NEED.
In an appeal recently addressed
to the farmers and agricultural
forces of the United States, Secre
tary of Agriculture D. F. Houston
says :
"For a considerable period the
world will hnve need particularly of
a larger supply than normal of live
stock, and especially of fats. We
should not fail, therefore, to adopt
every feasible means of economical
ly increasing our live stock prod
ucts. As a part of our program we
should give due thought to the se
curing of an adequate supply of
feedstuffs and to the eradication
and control of alLfornis of animal
disease "
A County Agent Holding a Meeting in A Hoq Feeding Lot, Telling How to
St.. Produce More Pork.
When It becaSne essential to organ
ize the agricultural forces of the United
States on a war basis and to Instruct
both city and country people how best
to Increase, utilise ana conserve the
limited food supply. It was Immediately
recognised thai (he co-operative ex
tension .system, Willi its combination of
federal and sta(e aetmlnlstratlve offl
i era and specialists with county agents,
farm bureaus and other local organiza
tions, provided a very effective means
for nation-wide dissemination of the
needed facts, a,s well as for practical
demonstrations of the measures re
quired to Increase agricultural produc
tion and to secure the most economical
Utilisation of the products of the farms.
The war found American agriculture
prepared with an extension organiza
tion well begun, and Immediate steps
were taken to put the extension ser
vice on a war basis, on April L 1917,
Ihe extension workers in the United
Stales numbered 2,14s, of which 1,411
were county agents. f4f, home demon
stration agents, and 14.1 club workers.
On July 1, 191S, the lo(al number had
Increased tn 0,21(1, Including 3,001 In
county agent work. 2,031 in home dem
onstration work, and LtSl boys' and
girls' club workers.
An important partvor the food pro
duction campaign was to increase live
stock production. In this, aa In the
other work of the campaign, all of the
divisions of the extension service have
taken a prominent part. During the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1918, county
agents In the 15 Southern states con
ducted feeding demonstrations with
18,598 beef cattle, Througn their efforts
r,K,007 beef cattle were brought Into the
territory for breeding purposes. They
conducted 30,041 demonstrations In the
feeding and management of swine,' as
sisted In building I.'-Tifi dipping vats
which were needed In the eradication
of the cattle fever tick and which played
an Important part in making this year
a record In mumping out the parasite
In Southern states. Through thfi ef
forts of Ihe county agents in (he South
,".517 silos were built, "hey Instructed
titi.uni farmers in the better rare of
farm manure, thus preventing a waste
of a valuable source of soil fertility. By
oo-onernlltig with county agents In
the drought-stricken areas of Texas the
Southern county agents assisted in
transporting 800,000 head of cattle from
sections where teen was scarce to sec
tions In the Southeastern states .where
Bed and pasture were plentiful.
Tile boys' club workers In the South
ern stales organized Z.ltflH calf clubs,
ItJH Pig clubs, and 11,533 poultry-
clubs. Through these nuns Ihe future
farmers of the South are being taught
the best methods of a woll-balanccd
system of farming.
I The county agents In the 33 North
ftrences, at meetings, and through cir
cular letters and newspaper articles to
raise more live stock, resuitftig In more
than 40,0011 additional head of cattle,
more than 100,000 additional hogs, and
148,211 sheep being raised or placed
on farms. In some states a special ef
fort was made to save oalves from be
ing slaughtered for veal, resulting In
10.499 additional calves being raised.
This work was carried on most exten
sively in Wisconsin, ;rom which 2.4y
head of calves from high-grade or reg
istered stock were shipped for breed
ing stock to Missouri, Wyoming, and
other Western arid Southern states, due
to this campaign.
The control of live stock diseases was
considered fully as Important as grow
ing more live stock, and theagents in
the Northern and Western States were
Instrumental In having 3H.392 animals,
principally cows, tested ror tuberculosis;
197 50S animals were vaccinated for
blackleg, and 235, S66 hogs were vaeoi- 1
nated for cholera by farmers or veteri
narians at the. suggestion of agents, or
by agents, for the purpose of demon-
stratiug methods. ;
There ure MM counties In the is
Northern and Western States, and of
ih.se t HP! nnintiaa. or M per rent of
the entire number, had regularly or
ganized club work during the year.
There were 4,376 members of poultry
clubs, who managed 29,541 fowls,
hatched 100.35S chicks, and produced
35,370 dozen eggs. The pig clubs had
a membership of 7,312 hoys and girls,
who managed 10.5S3 animals, producing
1,797.196 pounds of pork.

em and Western states supervised
demonstrations with 14!I,S20 head of live
stock. Realizing the Importance of con
serving succulent feed, especially for
dslry rows, tho county agents in sev
eral states carried on definite cam
paigns to encourage rarmers to build
silos, which resulted In 7,246 silos be
ing erected. HUo building campaigns
were carried on most intensively by the
county agents in Indiana, Wisconsin,
Iowa and Pennsylvania. .Reports re
ceived from county agents indicated
that nearly a third of a million acres
of silage corn was grown last year at
their suggestion In the Northern and
Western states.
The production of more and better
live stock with less expensive feed and
greater profit to the producers has re
ceived considerable attention In nearly
all counties. During 1917 the agents in
Ihe Northern and Western states as
sisted In the organization of ISO live
stock breeders' associations' to encour
age the use of better sires, and 1S2
cow -testing associations to eliminate
unprofitable cows and bring about more
economical feeding! Through these as
sociations and those organized with the
assistance of agents in previous years,
127.836 cows were under test, resulting
In al least 8,724 cows being discarded
as unprofitable. Primarily through
these organizations 10,!i8O rarmeir' were
Induced to adopt balanced rations for
their herds, and the ronowmg number
of head of registered stock were se
cured at suggestion of agents; Bulls,
3.2sr; cows, 4,836; rams, 1,469; boars,

The Only $1,000 Phonograph Ever Shown in Memphis
PUBLIC CONCERTS DAILY
SRE EXTEND a most cordial invitation to everyone to attend these daily con-
certs, arranged during the exhibition of the Sonora Supreme Phonograph. This
is the only $1,000 Phonograph ever brought to Memphis. It is the highest develop
ment in phonographic art. It records the human touch with all its essential qualities.
In tht' thousand-dollar Sonora Supreme, the crowning idea
of Stradivari, the master craftsman who won world recog
nition m producing violins, has been applied. The devices
for rounding and amplifying sound arc scientifically con
structed of carefully selected woods.
Tho Sonora Supreme is a triumph of architecture. The straight
severe lines of other phonographs have been artfully molded Into
designs of delightful beauty. Soft eurves take the place of harsh
vertical! and horizontals. The sides of the cabinet: are fashioned
into delicate bulges, harmonious waves which have never before
appeared in phonograph construction.
