"They are keyed constantly to ever changing trends of popular fancy. So accurate are they that circuses and tent shows study their reports religiously before scheduling their summer tours." Sachs said recent reports indicated that northern farmers "had money" and "pitchmen" said business was excellent at stands established near market houses. Conditions in towns were reported as better than in large cities.

Tho female of the species is such a plain bird that few persons would even suspect that they had any relationship to each other. This is the almost universal rule in nature. The males often are gaudy in coloration, whereas the females are very plain.

The peacock and peahen are excellent examples; so are the male and female guppies, in the aquarium. Dwarfing Horticultural Process Dwarfing is a horticultural process, requiring not only skill and knowledge of plants, but great patience. The tree selected in either a specimen dwarfed by nature or a tiny seedling. By. training, tying, pruning and grafting, the specimens are shaped and kept in miniature form.

Fine examples of the art, which the Japanese call "bon-sai," are not only curiosities. They are replicas of ancient trees on a tiny scale. Their wind-blown tops, projecting roots, and graceful spreading branches exactly reproduce the effect of forest giants. Maples, bamboos, cherries, pines, hollies, oaks, azaleas, junipers, and other evergreens are employed. They remain in the open air, most of the year.

In everything but size and hardiness, these tiny trees resemble a forest of century old specimens developed by nature, instead of by art. can 5C tail can- Strongheart Dog Cat Food Ann Page Tomato Juice ered plane, he returned to Harrisburg for a dinner of the "Quiet Bird-men," an aviator's organization to which he belongs.

So suit and rich looking is its pelt that it has been nicknamed the "American sable," says a writer in the Washington Post. Martens are shy, but, for their size, are among the most bloodthirsty of all animals. They live in trees, kill rabbits, squirrels and other small game.
