ital ships, Great Britain with 22, and Japanplfi,
which represents a tonnage of 500,650, 604,450
and 299,700 tOns respectively.

Tonnage in cruisers, flotilla leaders and de-
stroyers would be limited to the following: United
States, 450,000; Great Britain, 450,000; Japan,
"270,000 tons. '

Total tonnage of submarines allowed each
power would be as folloWs: U. 8., 90,000;_ Great
Britain, 90,000 and Japan, 54,000.

Total tonnage of airplane carriers was pro-
posed as follows: U. S., 80,000 tons; Great Brit-
ain, 80,000 tons; Japan, 48,000 tons. 

If carried out this program would mean an . ‘_
immediate» saving of $200,000,000 to the Amer- 
’i-can people alone in money being expended on“

‘ new battleships and the maintenance of a score-
or more obsolete warships. sk

Each of the po ers party to. the agreement
would bind itself to inform all the other parties
of the ‘names and number of ships to be replaced,

. dates of laying the heels, tonnage, date of com-
pletion and also proof and date of scrapping of
ships to be replaced.

France and Italy are for the time being ex-
empted from the American proposals. The naval
status of these nations will be discussed at later _
sessions of the conference. 

Sen. Borah, whom many think should have m
been a member of-the disarmament committee
because of the fact that he was the author
of the resolution which resulted in the Presi-
dent’s calling'the conference, admits that the
Hughes program is “a step”, but says the confer-
ence should not stop there. If he had his way
about its Borah would scrap every naval vessel
afloat andevery submarine. The only way to
actually stop war, he says is to take away from .
nations every weapon which they possess for the . "
making of war. — '

until finally his guide
took him over a rural

In many farming communities in Michigan
where buildings are new and good, Where the
most modern farm machinery is in use,
where the housewife has many conveniences
at hand and where the mode‘of transportation.
is a modern motor car, we. still find the one—
room school, the sole remaining product of an
age long since past. We love to rhapsodize
aboutth'e “l7ttle red schoolhouse” and the
wonderfulmen it. produced. These same “men
were produced by log cabins with dirt fibers
and it womhl be entirely logical to insist that
we ought to preserve that type of home if We
are going to use that argument with reference
to the old time rural school.

had been in club work, while over 3,300 mem- ._

ple-on the farms in this state today that

‘would have turned to the city if it were not

for the clubs that have shown them the bet-

community profits as well. While Secretary

It has been proven that during the past 10
years the production of several of the various
crops has been increased and the quality im—

he's01d 500 bushels of seed. In Michigan in
1919 club members secured an average of 95 :

entire state was only 39 bushels. .
.The live stock projects have been the mean
of introducing pure—bred live stock into many
communities Where nothing but scrubs had
been kept. And in many cases it has been
shown that the work ‘of the clubs resulted in _
the farmers taking a greater interest in their
stock and , pure-breds. Records show that
during the year 1920 over 5,000 farmers were
led to replace their scrub pigs with pure-breds
as a result of the pig-club work. This figure
is undoubtedly a fair index of the influence
exerted in other lines of live stock. During
last year there were 33,000 club members en-
gaged in this work in the northern and the
western states. Nearly one thousand of these

were located in Michigan.

Poultry clubs have also done much to
sound the death knell of the scrub. Thcsc
clubs and the liVe stock clubs perhaps do more
than any of the others to keep the young peo-
ple on the farm because they work with and
feed the stock and poultry and become at—
tached to them. You fathers remember the
first calf you owned and you mothers remem-
ber when you had some little chickens. Well
that it the way with. the boys and girls nowa-
days. And in the club work they earn the
money and pay for their stock or poultry.
Last year there were~3,000 poultry—club mem—
bers in the northern and western states and
they introduced 38,000 pure—bred fowls on
their home farms, culled out 1,200 flocks and
raised 155,000 chickens. .

In this state there are clubs formed in po—v
[late-raising, bean-raising, rabbit culture, han—
dicraft and gardening, all of which are of in- »
‘tercst to the boys. Of these the garden clubs
seem to attract the greatest amount 'of inter; '
est, the reason being that the work appeals to ,.
both boys and girls of all ages. In 1919 Mich-5'
igan potato—club members had an average yield
of 92 bushels per acre, while the state’s av—
erage was 88 bushels. Tn bean-raising the
averages were (Continued on page 20)

“poured into the shell a little at a time until a

only a. few cans are required, which keeps the

, SOMETIMES wonder what would happen
. if the other lines of industry of our coun-
trywere conducted along the same line of
Miness management that is used by the ag-
)'cultural interests. Of comse I know that
more farmers every year are learning that

  

as in business, but by far too many farmers
are still running their business “by guess”
and at the end of the year know 1itt1e~or noth—
ing, about whether their farm has paidathem
anything or not, and if it has, what lines
; have paid best.
‘  order to know whether farming pays or
not it is necessary to keep an itemized expense
‘ cunt of every line of business that is con-
ducted. I have heard many arguments ad-
}fvanced that are supposed to show the imprac-
‘ticability of farm accounting, and not one of
these arguments are sufficiently strong to be
‘ worth any consideration. The one most fre-
: q'uentl'y advanced is that the average farmer
is not well enough educated to attempt book-
keeping, They are. All the education need-
” ed for ordinary purposes is the ablty to read,
" write and make a few figures. Another com-
:L‘mm: objection is that farmers do not ihave
time to spare for this work. I know as well
as anyone else that farmers are busy people,
 but if anyone is so busy that he cannot find
"time to know whether his business is paying
. "or not, he had better discard one or two lines
' of work, and take care of the rest systematic-
' ally.
b When speaking of the. necessity of farm ac-
' muting I want to point out that an item-
 ized and systemized account of all business-
 conducted on the farm should be kept, and
that each line of work should be listed'separ—

.tell what line is paying, and what line is not.
I 'To make this point. a, little more p1a‘n, we
 will assume that the farmer owns and oper-
g~altes~ a tractor. In his books he should have

days the machine is in use, atwhat kind of
worlf, and the probable cost of operation per
acre ‘or per hour. At the end of the year the
user can soon figure out whether he can farm
as cheaply with tractor power as with horse
power. This method eliminates the guess-
work from agriculture, and places it on the
level with other business. .

H- Petit, of the MC A. 0., who told our read:
as how to detect the presence of that dreaded
plant disease. The prevalence of the common
corn ear worm added, dific’ulty to the situa-
tion, and many fanners became unnecesmrily
alarmed by the presence of that worm which
is comparatively harmless. A

Despite every precaution the corn borer suc-\
ceeded in getting across the Ohio line into
Monroe county,and despite the quarantine,
fears are expressed that it may spread to ad-
jpining counties. Farmers in the infested
districts:- of Monroe county should observe the
strict letter of the quarantine and farmers in '
adgoining counties should be constantly on‘
the alert for the "appearance of the disease. A
stitch in'time saves nine and the control of this’
disease now may save‘millions of dollars to '
Michigan farmers another. year.

Dynamite

FOR speed, simplicity and economy, ditching with
dynamite by the “propagated” method is in a
class by itself. All that is needed is the dynamite,
caps and fuse and a crowbar. The detonation of
one cartridge sets off the whole line of dynamite.

Up to the present time this method could be
used only during the 'warmer months, as the old
“Straight” dynamite was not wholly effective at
temperatures below 50 degrees F.

I was. the NEW Low Freezing

NITROGLYCERIN DYNAMITE

“propagated” ditching can be successfully carried
on in wet soil in any temperature. It is practically
freeze-proof. Ditches have been shot perfectly
with this new explosive at 14 degrees below zero.
Drainage projects can; now be planned and com-
pleted regardhss of .weather conditions.

See your local hardware or general Store mer-
chant. Write for lOO-page “Farmers’ Handbook of
Explosives” for complete instructions for ditching,

' land-clearing and tree-planting with explosives.

' Recipe Now. 2 '
I believe the morg satisfactory

, method of preserving meat is to su-

gar cure it, a recipe for which is as‘
follows: For each 100, pounds .of.

. meat use: 8 pounds of salt, 2 1-2

pounds of sugar or shop, 2 ounces of
saltpetre; 4 gallons of water. In
warm weather 9' or 10' pounds of salt
are preferable. Allow four days’
cure for each pound in- a ham ~or
shoulder .and three days for bacon
and small pieces. For example, a
15—poqu ham.will take 60 days; a
' piece of bacon weighing 10 pounds
'30 days. ,  '

The brine should be made the day ,
before, itvis used, so that it‘will be,

cool. All the ingredients are poured

into the water and boiled until thor- .. ‘

Noozak, are starting on a journey to their feeding grounds.

One evening

after his mother is asleep Neewa. wanders through the woods by himself. He
has an exciting adventure with an old h‘e-bear and his mother appears just in

Inthe meantime, Challoner, a lludson’ Buy Co. factor,

discovers the tracks of the bears- He has a pup. .MiWhlm, Awhich'he is
taking to his sister, and he decides he would like to secure the cub to give to

her also.

pain and terror that he had lost all
sense of judgment or understanding,
Miki believed that the sharp dig of
Neewa’s razor-like claws was a deep-
er thrust than usual of the buzzing
horrors that overwhelmed him and
with a final shriek he proceeded to
throw a fit. -

It was the fit that saved them.
In his maniacal contortions he swung
around. to‘Neewa’s side of the sap-

, ling, when, with their haltep once

more free from impediment, Neewa
bolted for safety. Miki followed,
yelping at every jump. No longer
did Neewa feel a horror of the rive-r.
The- instinct of his kind told him
that he Wanted water, and wanted it
badly. As straight as Challoner
might have set his course by a com—
pass he headed for the stream, but
he had proceeded only a few hundred
feet when they came upon a tiny
creek’ across which either of them
could have jumped. Neewa jumped
into the water, which was four or
five inches deep, and for the first
time in his life Miki voluntarily took
‘a plunge. For a long time they lay
in the cooling rill. ‘

The light of day was dim and hazy
before Miki’s eyes, and he was begin-
ning to swell from the tip of his nose
to the end of his bony tail. Neewa,
being so much fat, suffered less. He
,could still: see, and, as the painful
hourspassed, a number of things
were adjusting themselves in his
brain. All this had begun with the
man—beast. It was the man-beast
who had taken his mother from him.
It was the man-beast who had
chucked him into the dark sack, and
it was the man-beast who had fast-
ened the rope around his neck.
Slowly the fact was beginning to
impinge itself upon him that the
rope was toblame for everything.

After a long time they dragged
themselves out of the rivulet and
found a soft, dry hollow at the foot
of a big tree. Even to Neewa who
had the use of his eyes, it was grow-
.ing dark in the deep forest. The
sun was far in the’west. And the
air was growing chilly. Flat on his

, ,“belly, with his swollen, head between,
his fore paws, Miki whined plaint—g

ively.

himself still closer to the pup, Nee-
wa drew the .rope between his fore
paws. With a litgle snarl he set his
teeth in it. And’then, steadily, he.
began to chew. Now and the-n he
growled, and in‘the growl there was
a peculiarly communicative note, as
if he wished to say to Miki:

“Don’t you see?——I’m chewing this
thing in two. I’ll have it done by
morning. Cheer up! There’s sure-

‘ 1y a better day coming."

CHAPTER SEVEN

HE MORNING after their painful
Texperience with ~thewasp’s nest,
‘ Neewa and Miki rose 0n four
pairs of stiff and swollen legs to
greet a new day in the deep and
mysterious forest into which the ac-
cident of the previous day had
thrown them. The spiritxof irre-
pressible youth was upon them, and.
though Miki was so swollen from the
. stings of‘the wasps that his lank, body
and‘overgrown legs were more gro-
tes‘quelthan ever, he was in no way
,daunted from the quest of
adventure. ‘

The pup’s face was as found as a
moon, and his head'was puffed up
until Neewa might reasonably have
a suspicion that‘ it was on the point
of exploding. But Miki’s .eyes———as
much as could be seen of them—-
were as bright as ever, and his one
good ear and his one half ear stood
up hopefully as he waited for the
cub to give some sign of what they
were going to do. The poison in his
system no longer gave him discom~
fort. He felt several sizes too large
—but, otherwise, quite well.

Neewa, because of his fat, exhibit-
ed fewer effects of ‘his battle with .the
wasps. His one outstandingdefect
was an entirely closed eye. -‘With the
other, wide open and. alert, he look—
ed about him. In, spite of his one
bad eye and his stiff le s he wasin—
spired With. the optimis n of one who
at last sees fortune turning his way.
He was rid of the man-beast, who
had killed his mother; .the forests

were before him again, open and in-,

viting, and the rope with which
Challoner had ‘-tied him and Miki
together he had successfully gnawed
in two during the night. Having
dispossessed himself of at least two
evils it would not have surprised .him
much if he had seen Noozak, his
mother, coming up from out of the
shadows of the trees. Thought of
her made him whine. And Miki, fac-
ing the vast loneliness of his’new

world, and. thinking of his masterp

whined in reply. ‘_ » ,
Both were hungry. The amazing
, swiftness with which their misfort-
unes has descended upon them had

given them no time in which to eat.-

To Miki the change was more than
astonishing; it ,Was

They proceeded. For two heart-

increasing as the swelling ‘in his
body diminished:
becoming a torture. - Yet .nOt':a white

’ things, half a dozen green and black

It was not until then,that Miki ob-
served Iskwasis, the young female
porcupine, who ' had poked herself

—4 slyly. out from under'rra bush near
Kawpok. ‘In- spite of his years the
red thrill of romance was not yet
gone from the old fellow's bones, and
he immediately stared to give an ex-
hibition of his good breeding and ele-
‘gance. He began with his ludicrous

love-making dance-shopping from one

, foot to the other until his fat stom-
ach shook, and chuckling
_ than ever. The cha‘rms of Iskwasis
were indeed sufficient to turn the
head of'an older beau than Kawook.
She was a distinctive blonde; in
other words, one of those unusual
creatures of her kind, an albino.
Her nose was pink. the palms of her
. little feet Were pink and each of her
pretty pink eyesywas set in an iris
of sky-blue. It was evident that she
did not regard old Kawo-ok’s passion-
;dance nwith favor and sensing this
fact Kawook changed his tactics and
falling on all four feet began , to
chase his‘ spiky tail as if he had sud~
denly‘gone mad. When he stopped,

fend looked to see what effect he had
made he was clearly knocked out
by the fact that Iskwasis had disap—
peared.

. For another minute he sat stupid-
ly, without making a sound. Then
to Miki’s consternation he started
"straight forthe tree in which Neewa
’was sleeping. As a matter of fact, it
was Kawook’s dinner—tree, and he
began climbing it, talking to himself
all the time. Miki’s hair began to
stand on end. He did not know that
Kawook, like all his kind, was the
best-natured fellow in the world, and
had never harmed anything in his
life unless assaulted, first. - Lacking
this knowledge he setup a sudden

" frenZy of barking to warn Neewa.

w Neewa roused himself slowly, and
when he opened his eyes he was look—
ing into a spiky face that sent him
-into a convulsion of alarm. With a
suddenness that came within an ace
‘of toppling him from his crotch he
swung over and scurried higher up
the tree. Kawook was not at all ex—
cited. Now that Iskwasis was gone
he was entirely absorbed in the an—
ticipation of his dinner. He con?
.tinued to clamber slowly upward,
and at this the horrified Neewa
backed himself out on “a lamb in or—
der thateKawook might have an un—
obstructed trail up the tree.

Unfortunately for Neewa it was on

fit-h-is 'limb that Kawook had eaten his
lastmeal, and "he began ,workin’g

, himself outon it, still apparently ob-
livious of the fact that the 'cub was
on the same branch. At this Miki

 

sent up such a series of shrieking-

yelps from below that Kawook‘seem-
ed at last to realize that something
unusual was 'going on. He peered
down at Miki who was making vain
. efforts to jump up the trunk of the
tree; then he, turned' and, for the
first time,j contemplated Neewa with
some sign of interest. Neewa was

,hugging the limb with both fore-
arms and both ,hind legs. To’re-
treat another foot on the branch

that was already bendingdangerous-
ly under his weigh-t seemed impos—
sible. v
It was at this point that Kawook
began to scold fiercely. Witha fin—
al” frantic yelp Miki sat back on his
haunches~ and watched the thrilling
dram-a above him. A little at a time
Kawook advanced, and inch by inch

."T’SS A. GOOD idea for farm folks along
about this time of the year to reflect a
little and ask themselves whether they have
anything to be thankful for. Lives there a
' man who can look back over the events of, the
. ‘ past, and say honestly to himself, “no, I haye
‘ nothing to be thankful for”? We doubt 1t.
Of course, the individual who believes that
~. . the world owes him something for havmg'
 favored it with his presence may find scant
tonsils: in thoughts of how he has fared, but
the  man who believes that he .lives 
t "the grace oié  and is thankful. for the, gum-
“filegsy. will look back upOn a pathway strewn
i with blessings.

chosen few whom He favors with special dlS-

of life according to each one’s deserts and
God’s mysterious scheme. A family favored
in one respect may be curst in another. One
may be rich and another poor, but the rich
 may sorrow while the poor. rejoice. Every

As representative of the Business
Farmer I perhaps talk with more
farmers in Michigan this fall than
most people do. What do I find in
the‘minds of the majority of farmers
concerning the county agent and the

'Farm Bureau? Most of them think
the county agent a joke and the
Farm Bureau a bunch of fellow farm-
ers who turned to be grafters, look—
ing out for number» one, instead of
:his neighbors as well.

I .know some‘ of the farmers of
Michigan are having a'difficult time
to meet their taxes, etce-but—did
they ever invite the county agent out

overnight and try to make up some
better plan to make more money off
their farms? Are they 'so narrow
that they think they know. it all?
Even though the county agents are
college boys, they are generally farm
bred and place common sense ahead
or books.

I’m from Ohio! I’m mighty proud
of the county agents down there too.
I was raised on a farm and I’m’ go-_
log back to one, too, when I get a
little more insight as to how the
most progressive farmers “get
along."

The county agents down in the
Buckeye‘State go out and try to
form_c1ubs among the farm boys and
girls. These are corn, potato, calf
and pig clubs. They also go out and
visit the farmers in their homes;
they eat and sleep with them;
farmers troubles are theirs. The
number of working hours are thr-
gotten. Working for their fellow—
men is their pleasure. They talk
over soil conditions, crop rotations,
marketing problems and such things
as farmers institutes.

These kind of agents may be here
in Michigan but I’ve got to see them
yet. Farmers themselves are partly
to blame for not having better coun—
ty' agents. They should invite him
out and show him that they are in-,
terested in their own welfare in
seeking expert advice. He should
be the farmers chief counsellor con-
cerning all farm and community
problems. If a farmer cannot take
a county agent into his Confidence as
a physician should be taken, he c-au-,

v not e ct to have his financial dif-

ficulties doct‘bred with the greatest
results.
“Farmers won’t stick together,”

many a farmer has told me. Why;

don't they? Because they haven’t
faith in .“friend neighbor" or the
county agent. County Agent, show
your colors! Farmers, fall in! If
you do Michigan can boast of such
progressive farmers as “Beautiful
Ohio” does—V. N. B., Arenac Coun—
ty, Michigan.

Here. here, quit your knocking our
farmers and county agents. I‘ll wager
we’ve got just as live county agents and
just as progressive farmers in/MichiQ‘an
as you'll find anywhere.
some of our agents hope the wrong' cons
coption of their duties. and perhaps they
aren‘t as “neighborly” as they might be,
but some of them‘ I know are held in high"

WHAT SHALL WE EAT?

ITH THE Thanksgiving turkey,

gobbling outside of the win—

dow, the farmer’s wife begins
to count the noses of her prospective
Thanksgiving guests and to ponder
that greatest of questions: “What
shall we eat?”
necessary to load the table with so
much food that half of it is left over.
A well balanced Thanksgiving meal
is better for the digestion of the
guest and for the good temper of the
cook. Instead of making the guests
feel stufied as the turkey himself,
the sensible cook will prepare a few
well chosen things and serve them
carefully.

The turkey would be insulted with-
out some preparation of cranberries,
as would the chicken, duck or what-
ever fowl happens to be in line for
the big day. Here are some hints
for fixing up cranberries.

Cranberry Sauce

Pick over and wash three cups of
cranberries. Put into a stew pan,
add one and one-fourth cups of su—
gar (granulated) one cup boiling
water. Boil ten minutes with the
{pan closely covered. Remove the
scum and cool.

For those who prefer a
sweeter sauce, this recipe is delici-
ous. Use equal measure of berries
and sugar. Wash, drain, and put
the berries in a porcelain kettle with
{of water just enough to show when
the berries are pressed down in the
pan. When they boil~add a quarter
of the sugar. Sprinkle over the her-
ries without stirring. Let it boil a
minute, add another quarter, etc.,
until all the sugar is used. Boil up
once" more and turn out. Boil slow-
ly and do not stir.

Cranberry Jelly

Pick over and wash four cups of
berries. Boil twenty minutes with
two cups of boiling water. Rub
through a sieve, add two cups granu—
lated sugar and cook five minutes.
Turn into molds or glasses.

Candied Cranberry

' Make a sirup of two—thirds cup
water, and one and three—fourths
cup sugar, by boiling them together
for five minutes. Then add onepint
cranberries and let them stand for
a few hours. Cook them gently un-
til clear, drain, put on a large pan
dusted with granulated. sugar,
sprinkle‘a little more sugar over
them and dry very slowly in a medi-
um oven. _
4 Suggested Centerpieces

Forgthe Thanksgiving ‘table cent-
erpiece hollow out a large pumpkin
and fill it with fruit,-pine cones or
evergreens. A woodSy’touch can be
' added by placing any kind of leaves
around the base of the pumpkin. The
pumpkin may be shaped into a has—
ket by leaving space for the handle
.and hollowing out the rests-May

she is capable of more varied work
than man, that her home work is
big and broad.

“How can it be a large career to
tell other people’s children about the
Rule of Three and a narrow career
to tell one’s own children about the
universe?”

Hepresupposes a knowledge of
the universe. Is it broad to be the
same thing to everyone, (for in-
stance a private secretary or book-
keeper?) and narrow to be every—
thing to some one or to a whole fam-
ily?

No, a woman’s function is labor-
ious because it is gigantic, not be-
cause it is minute. I will pity Mrs.
Jones for the largeness of her task,
never for its smallness.

Is this a new Viewpoint dear read-
er? To me it seems to largely depend
upon what is in Mrs. Jones? mind
whether her life is big and broad or
narrow and it depends somewhat
upon her associates and what lies
upon her reading table,

FLOORS- . ‘

TAINS ARE used on floors-to
bring out the grain of the wood,

or to make them harmonize in
color with other woodwork or. with

furnishings or to give certain‘s'oft- ,

woods tones similar to hardwoods.

Oil‘and w'ater stains, so calledbe-
cause of the solvent used, are the
common kinds. Oil stains. are easy

to apply evenly and do not raise the

grain of the wood, but they do not
penetrate very deeply and are like-
ly to give a ,muddy effect. Water
stains, on"the other hand,- soak in
readily, give a. clear color and are
cheaper than oil stains, but raisethe
grain;of the wood so that sandpa-

sary. ~Water stains may be used on.
either hardwoods or- softwoods, but
as a rule oil stains are not so suc-
cessful on hardwoods.

Bothr water and oil stains may be
bOught ready mixed, or some of the
simple ones can 'be made at home.
In any case before'_using, the stain
should be tested.on an inconspicuous

part of the floor or on afsam‘ple of ..

‘the same kind of wood: It thercolqr

luted with‘the kindrof solvent with
which it is.mixed or other suitable

may be diluted with turpentine, and
a water stain with water.

tested by the Bureau of Chemistry of

Indian braves lived in the forest

IN THE long ago time before the

and hunted and fished for, their
food, the Manitou or “spirits of the
woods" made their homes among
the trees and there raised their fam—
ilies. .

0n the bank of the shining Bi
Sea Water lived avery good Manitou
and his wife and his son and daugh-
ter. Every daywhen the sun shone
warmly the son and dau'ghter'piay»
ed by the side of the Big Sea Water;
played with boats of bark and with
the gaily colored stones which they

tossed into the water and, with the 7

flowers that‘grew along the bank.
And everyday when the dark clouds
piled up and the rain came down,
they played together in the Wigwam;
played with stones and mosses and
sticks, which the brother was skillful
at carving. ’_ '

And always/as they played, they
talked of the day when ‘they should
be big enough to help in the. work
of the would. For above all things
else, the Manitou children long to
help their fathers and “mothers do
the work that is theirs.

Finally the day came when the
father stood his son. up by the side

,of the Wigwam and measured him

and tested his strength and decided
that».at last the son was old enough
to help in the work all good Mani-
And that same day the,
mother gave her daughter a test of
'skill and strength and measured her
hair and found that ‘it was long‘and
beautiful and announced that; the
daughter was now ready to do the'
work of a woman Manitou.
So. the. father and mother
their children and presented them to
the— King of the Manitqu that .he

 might assign to them their work. .

 The brother and sister ‘ Manitou

were very‘happy till they happened
to think that their duties were so far
apart—as far apart as the earth and
the sky—and that probably they
would never again play.together.
They walkedgslopvly back to their
home by the Big Sea Water and there
they sat down and talked over all
the good times they’had ever had.
And the more they talked, the sadder
and sadder they becameat the that
of‘parting; till the sister saw. that,

they must talk of something else.
“0h. m brother," she said with

N THE long ago time before the

Indian braves lived in the forest

and hunted and fished for, their
food, the Manitoumr “spirits of the
woods” made their homes among
the trees and there raised their fam-
ilies. .

On the bank of the shining Bi
Sea Water lived a-very good Manitou
and his wife and his son and daugh-
ter. Every daywhen the sun shone
warmly the spn and daughter-play-
ed by the side of the Big Sea Water;
played with boats of bark and with
the gaily colored stones which they

tossed into the water and, with the ‘
flowers that‘grew along the bank. .

And every day when the dark clouds
piled up and the rain came down,
they played together in the Wigwam;
played with stones and mosses and
sticks, which the brother was skillful
at carving. _ ”

And‘ alwaysas they played, they
talked of the day when they should
be big enough to help in the. work
of the would. For above all things
else, the Manitou children long to
help their fathers and mothers do
the work that is theirs.

Finally the day came when the
father stood his son. up by the side
of the Wigwam and measured him
and tested his strength and decided
that.at last the son was old enough

. to help in the work all good Mani-

' tou’s‘ do.

 

I And that same day the
mother gave her daughter a test of
‘skill and strength and measured her
hair and found that it was long and
beautiful and announced that, the
daughter was now-ready to "do the‘
work of a woman Manitou. ,
So,_th,e father and 'mother took
their children and presented them to
the" King of the Manitqu that he
might assign to them their work. .
.«w‘e‘I "will give to your children?" he
announced- quickly, :‘fthe very best

' work“ that a Sand/gManitall may do.

, The brother and sister ' Manitou

. were very happy till they happened
to think that their duties were so far
apart—as far apart as the earth and
the sky—and that probably they,
would never again playrtoge'ther.

They walkedsloyvly back to their
home by the Big Sea Water and there
they sat down and talked overall
the good times they.“ had ever had.
And the more they talked, the sadder
and sadder they becameat the thot
of‘parting; till the sister saw. that,

if they were to part-in: happiness;

they must talk of, Something else. ‘
“0h, m brother,” she said with
a quick s ileu“think of the'honor

“That I am," replied the brother,
“but alas! I know that just because
you will live in such a beautiful
cloud, you will soon forget me—

-« -“I-Iow can you say that!” exclaim‘
ed the Sister. “You know I shall al—'

[GRADE AN!) MARKET REVIEW
 - 11‘]! THE advent of colder
- ' weather has come a decided 1m-
‘ “ p'rovement in retail buying,
; throughout the northern states; ow-
~ 4 mg to a recent sharp decline in' the
selling price of cotton, the ,south is
not yet sharing in the increase in the
retail movement. There is another

important reason for the marked in- '

crease in the buying, \movement,
namely, the marked reduction in
prices which, until recently, had re-
- mained firm at war-time quotations.
The Mail dealer has, at last, de-
. pirl‘ed to meet his competition and
' .sclal hiSLgomis at cost plus a fair com-
? Inisslon and the result is that would-
‘. be buyers are often surprised. these
“ 4 days, at the comparatively low pric-
. es asked for goods for'whic‘h they
had expected to be obliged to pay
' very much more; all the above facts
I. . are gradually Mug noised about and
' buyers are taking time by the fore-

Ilockxinadek‘mnzinedeflm'ttosecum‘

: the articles which they need, before
the advance in quoted prices which
‘ cannot be far away.
~ No change in general industrial
, conditions has been rem-(2H1 for pey-
r erai weeks past and nothing of im-
‘ portance is expected to happen until
' afler the holiday season is over. Un-
employment co aditioms continue to

 be acute, cspcma‘l‘ly, in eastern cities .

 where rent and the necessities of

lific are still \commanding high pric-
Wes. The situation. in connection with
. - the current steel marth is entirely
 satisfactory to the U. S. Steel Gor-
r poration which is reported to be
 'making money enough to assure 'a

dividend on the cornmeal stock. The
' independents in the manufacture of

steel are placed at a mat'~dis:1dvantn

’age because of higher operating 

ptmscs than those of U. S. Steel and
I, a lack of dependability in theifle‘
mods for their products. It~is:pre-
dicted that an early amalgamation {of

many of the leading independents, in .

steel manufacture, will take place;

. the best that can be done in this ,
~ 1 line will leave the 1*. S. Steel Gor-

,_ poration “ith the bulk of the desir-
. able business in its grasp.
One of the most. important and

significant developments, in connec- .

' tion with the demand for Ymanniiaotp-
urcd products and one which is tak-
en by many as a good omen for'rhe
future {is the demand ifrom “certain
radii-e _ for equipment, consisting

‘, " mainly of orders for locomotives and

3" freight can; this has already had a

’Imm effect upon the stock mar-

z; ke-t andl will eventually be noted in

’ connection with the demand for lum-

ber,inonamiei~cel WWWry

kct, as noted above, has been declin-

' ingflately because of the conviction '

' in, the  of the "trade that the
.crop will prove to 'be much larger
« than was originally aprmlicttcd.

'The opening of the Arm Confer-
ence at ll’ashington, last Saturday,

Easy Now to Rid
' Your Farm of Rats

Wonderful Discovery by Noted Scientist
Kills Every Bat Within a. Week’s
Time—Not 8. Poison

 

 

Rats cost farmers over two hundred
millions of dollars a year. through the
destruction of grain, poultry and build-
ings. Farmers need no longer sufler this
loss because they can now kill off all
the rats on their farm in less than a
week’s time. This is possible through
the remarkable discovery of E. R.
Alexander, 3. Kansas City chemist, who
has perfected a. virus, which kills rats,
mice and gophers as though by magic.
This product is not a poison—it can be
eaten by human beings or any animal on
the farm as safely as their regular food,
but means gulch, sure death to rats.

  

 

,. ., JIM"
This .wonderful' rat virus which is
known as Alexander Rat-Killer, .-is mere-
ly mixed with bread or meat scraps and
placed where rats, mice or gopher-s can
get to it .Within a. few hours after a rat
has eaten Alexander Rat-Killer he gets
a high feverde suffers a terrible thirst.
He leaves the barns and nesting holes
and goes to the open fields in search of
pure air and running water. Rats and
mice affected always die away from the
barns and houses, so there is no odor.

It is a scientific fact that one rat af-
fects others and soon the whole colony
leaves the buildings and dies, And
though this virus is absolutely deadly t0
rats—chickens, hogs, cattle or any farm
animal can eat it and not be affected at
all. '

So confidents is Mr. Alexander that
Alexander Rat—Killer will kill every rat
on your farm in loss than a week’s time
that he offers to send. as an introductory
Offer, a regular $2.00 tuba for only-$1.00.
Give 'it according l0 directions and if at
the end of a week‘s time you are able to
discover any rats, mice or _
your farm, your money will be refunded.
A big Kansas City bank guarantees that

— .55.

Mr, Alexander is reliszIc and will do as .

he says.

Send NO MONEY. Just write to E.
R. Alexander, Alexander Laboratories.
263 Gateway Station, Kansas City, Mo.,
and the tube will be mailed at once. When
it arrives pay the postman‘only one dol-
lar and postage on the guarantee, that if
not absolutely satisfactory your money

will be returned without question. Write
today—a pestcard will'do—and stop your

rat losses now. .
