THE EAGLE, Housekeeping Big Chore on The Hill Picnic at Park Attracts Group Everything is quiet up on the Hill of many troubles at the present time; too quiet, ominous ly so. The Old Man is ap prehensive that it is just the lull before the storm and something is liable to break loose at any time. Of course there are the minor problems that are always present, but his scientific friend came and got his frogs and that was one trouble off his mind. But a pesky rat had been raid ing his baby bantam chicks and had carried off two of them before his depredations were dis covered. The Old Man removed the banty hen and her chicks to a place of safety and the old 'Muscovie mama duck promptly moved into ths vacated coop with her brood of ducklings. Mr. rat evidently decided that a gos- lin would make as good a meal as a baby chick, but he failed to take into consideration the old Muscovie drake, The old drake is as. big as a ;oose and has a ?eak like a steel rap. He is very proud of his amily and is always on guard. There was a commo tion in The Old Man the barnyard; On Ths Hill the hens cackl ing, the guineas chattering like a machine gun and the banties whooping it up, but no sound from the Muscovie ducks, as they are quackless and can only make a wheezing or whistling sound. What transpired the Old Man oRker knew, but when he went to investigate he found the old Muscovie drake proudly wad- dling up and down before his admiring family, a big rat, very dead, dangling from his beak. A few days ago Ma missed her footing and got a fall and sprain ed her ankle. It was nothing serious but she had to stay in bed for a couple of days and the Old Man was cast for the roll of cook, nurse, housekeeper and general factotum. Until one has tried it he never knows how much there is to just keeping house. As the Old Man puts it “that proverbial cat on tin roof is a .sluggard when compared to my activities th- last few days. “Not only is there the house work to do, but there are the ducks and chickens to care for besides the garden work, and whtn the day is done and I have locked up the henhouse and put Bingo to bed, when weary and exhausted I tumble into bed, I would be prodded out at inter vals to give medicine, git a glass of water or rub linament on ach ing joints. “I sure hope Ma gets well soon and I am doing my best to speed that welcome day. I have become very proficient in arranging a TvERNONIA CLEANERS will be closed July 4, 5, 6 and 7 for repairs and will reopen July 9. ^Thought for today... “For what avail the people or soil or land or life if freedom fails.” —Emerson For moderate refreshment...

I tried putting a shot of O. B. Joyful in her tea and it perked her up amazingly. At first she was a bit suspicious of the taste, but I told her that Sam’s Grocery was all out of OOlong tea and I had to get TOOlong tea which accounted for the flavor. “She said she believed she liked it better than the kind we had been using. If she finds out, I am liable to be in the doghouse for a long time for she is a deaconess, or something, in the church and a strong pro hibitionist, but I had to do some thing to pep her up.
