Chipmunk Has Troubles;
He's Carefree and Cheerful
The eastern, striped chip
munk is a true philosopher.
Although his troubles are
many and his enemies numer
ous, he remains carefree and
cheerful. He never allows his
misfortunes to rumple his
alert gaiety. He displays a
friendly good humor toward
friend and foe and endears
himself to all who care to
meet him on equal terms.
If any animal could be said
to be vivacious, then this
pocket - sized edition of the
squirrel family, who frequents
tree - roots, stone piles and
stumps throughout the entire
section of the U.S., is surely
it. He is about one-third the
size of his tree-climbing rela
tives. Along his agile body he
wears five black and two
white stripes.
Seldom does he climb a tree,
but scurries rapidly over roots
and stones at the edge of the
woodlots where he can dash
out into the sun at frequent
intervals. Show him the least
sign of friendship and he will
willingly eat out of your hand.
Frighten him and he scampers
with nervous haste and
twitching tail into the mouth
of his burrow.
Enjoys Life
His enthusiasm and spon
taneous exuberance for living

every golden minute will not
allow him to remain long un
derground. In no time at all
his prominent little ears and
bright, beady eyes peak out
to see that everything is again
normal. He quickly scampers
from his rock crevice, twitch
es his tail with nervous jerks
and begins his prowling. He
is too good natured to hold a
grudge even if you shoot at
him. He is ever ready to for
give and forget.
Probably of all his many
enemies, and there are more
of them than he can shake his
tail at, the worst of them is
the man with the gun. The
next enemy he has to watch
out for is the weasel, an ani
mal that hunts the chipmunk
in its own burrow. These bur
rows often run for many
yards, dipping every few feet.
Along the tunnel-side, rooms
are dug out where food is
stored.
No Mound
The chipmunk never throws
up a tell-tale mound of earth
at the tunnel entrance. He
doesn't believe in placing the
equivalent of a red lantern
beside the hole; it would be
too easy for enemies to locate
him.
A group of chipmunks of
ten "get together" for a gen
eral "talk-fest" or "commun
ity sing" when they all chat
ter in a shrill voice. Just what
they accomplish at these civic
meetings has never been ex
plained. I think the chipmunk can
be excused if in the joyful
abandon of living he eats a
bird's egg or two. He's so

In the same way that sterling on silver signifies
a standard of known value, so is the A.B.C. em
blem a symbol of integrity for the circulation of
newspapers and periodicals. It means that circu
lation so identified is measured according to the
rules and standards of the Audit Bureau of
Circulations
The A.B.C. is a cooperative and non-profit
association of 3,450 publishers, advertisers and
advertising agencies. Organized in 1914, these
buyers and sellers of advertising brought order
out of advertising chaos by setting
up standards for paid circulation
and establishing rules and methods
for measuring, auditing and report
ing circulations.
Therefore, the work of the A.B.C.,
kof which this newspaper is proud to
mm
be a member, provides you with a direct and
valuable service. You can buy advertising as you
would make any other sound business investment
on the basis of well known standards, known
values.
At regular intervals one of the Bureau's large
staff of experienced circulation auditors makes a
thorough audit of our circulation records. The
results of this exacting audit show: How much
circulation we have; where our circulation goes;
how it was obtained; and many other facts that
you need in order to know just what
you get for your advertising dollars.
This audited information is pub
lished by the Bureau in easy-to-read
A.B.C. reports which are available
to our advertisers on request. Ask
