'TPllAT wasn't a very nice thing 1 for Sammy Jay to be saying, but it was true, and down In his heart Peter knew that it was true. So, as he couldn't say a word in reply, he just kept right on working, which shows that there is some wisdom in Peter's foolish little head after all. He was cutting his way out of the bramble-tanglon the edge of the Green Forest into the middle of which he had been driven by Reddy Fox. Of course he could have got e Most Virulent. In the western Montana area-m- ost virulent in the world, accord-in- g to Dr. Parker of those who contracted the disease between 1925 and 1939, three of the 37 who had been vaccinated died, while 42 of the 51 persons who had not been protected succumbed. Dr. Parker's statistics showed deaths from spotted fever in the Pacific Northwest since 1935 have decreased almost in direct proportion to liters of vaccine used. Cost of the serum for one person once was $20. Today it is $1. Before May 10, 1924, when Dr. R. R. Spencer, who pioneered tick vaccine, injected a mixture of ground-u- p ticks and weak carbolic acid into his arm, almost everyone who contracted the disease died. Fatalities were so high that natives of the Bitterroot valley dared not venture into the mountain canyons where infected ticks lurked on every tree and bush. People who lived in the infected areas abandoned their homes to the deadly bugs. Success at Last. Then in 1921, Dr. Spencer, Dr. Parker, an entomologist, and their assistants, Henry Cowan, Bill and Elmer Greenup, established a laboratory in an old school-hous- e near Hamilton. They began searching for an antidote for the deadly bite. The ticks killed Cowan and They died, shivering, with temperatures above 103, their skins covered with black spots. But Spencer discovered the immunizing magic of a soupy concoction of ground-u- p ticks and weak carbolic acid. Today the laboratory has a staff of 125 and produces spotted fever vaccine for most of the United States, Canada and Brazil. The mixture of squashed ticks and carbolic acid has been supplanted by a new vaccine reared in a chicken egg.

He didn't want any more, so he wisely decided to cut a path out. He heard Sammy Jay's taunt. Of course he did. Sammy meant that he should. The funny thing is that though it didn't se.em a very nice thing for Sammy to be saying, it really was being done for Peter's own good. It was a part of a plan of some of Peter's friends to teach him how much better it is to work than to shirk. To shirk, you know, is to pretend to do a thing yet not do it Peter had pretended to be working very hard cutting paths so through the old bramble-tangl- e as to have a safe retreat in time of danger, but he had spent most of his time dreaming how fine it would be when all the paths were finished, instead of going ahead and cutting the paths. So Bobby Coon and Sammy Jay and Uric" Billy Possum and a few more of Peter's friends had put their heads together and decided that Peter needed a lesson for his own good; that he should be made to work. So Sammy Jay had told Reddy Fox how he could surprise Peter on the edge of the bramble-ta- and then had warned Petime for Peter to wriggle in among the brambles out of Red-dy'- s reach. But Peter didn't know this. He didn't know that Bobby Coon and Unc" Billy Possum had been watching from the same tree on the edge of the Green Forest and had seen all that had happened. If, when he started to work, he could have seen them nudge each other and chuckle, it is doubtful if he would have guessed even then what they were laughing about. But Peter didn't see them, and he didn't stop to say anything to Sammy Jay. He was too busy. He was busy cutting away those vines and brambles as hard as ever he could so as to make a path, and at the same time he was doing a lot of thinking. "If I only had had those paths all cut I wouldn't have torn my clothes and got all scratched to pieces," "Of course I'm thought Peter. mighty thankful that I could get in here in spite of torn clothes, because if I couldn't have, Reddy Fox would have caught poor little me." Snip, snap, snip snap! Peter's sharp front teeth were cutting off the stems of the vines and the brambles and the bushes close to the ground and the little path, which very very much like a little tunnel, was through the bramble-tangle- , growing longer and longer. And still Peter kept at work. He didn't even stop long enough to nibble at some of the tender young bark, and when Peter forgets to eat he Is very much in earnest In the first place, Peter was anxious to get home to the dear Old Brier Patch just as soon as it was safe to go, and to do that he must first cut his way out of the bramble-tangle- or else tear his clotHcs and scratch himself some more. So he kept right at it, snip, snap, snip, snap. At last he was almost to the end. He could see between the stems to the open Green Meadow s and he was glad. A few minutes more and he would be on his way to the dear Old Brier Patch. And right then Peter saw something that made him stop short. ngle, ter just in (Aractiited Newsp.iper-WN- Plans are now completed for the program for wives of the firemen and other visitors to the firemen's convention in Murray on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
