WHY Not Be Friends2

Why should we not be friends with
the people of the United States? Despite
the great tide of immigration in recent
years from alien lands, they are still our
speaking our tongue, thinking our
thoughts, striving toward our ideals. If
we trace back the genealogy of Wash
ingtOn, or Hamilton, or Lincoln, or
Grant, or Mckinley, or Taft-of the men
who have made and are making the his
tory Of the United States-we find that
the search leads us to the fen country
around old Boston in Lincolnshire, or to
a whitewashed cottage clinging to the
rocks above the sea at Larne, or to
some remote Highland glen. Even
Roosevelt, typical descendant of the old
Dutch stock though he is, owes much
to the Scottish blood that came to him
from his mother.
Why should we dislike our kinsmen
to the south of the line? They have
become reconciled to the growth Of a
second great nation on this continent,
ly. In that far future that opens be-
fore US, while we wonder what the
Anglo-Saxon race will be in the CEN
turtles to come and what it will do for
the upIift of humanity. it may yet be
possible to apply to the descendants of
the men who founded the United States
as we'll as to the sons of Greater Britain
the words of Kipling.
The Globe has no apology to make
for its expression of friendship for the
United States. The Dominion and the
must live side by side while
time lasts or until they are merged in
that great Anglo-Saxon world federation
of which most of US dream. Let us have
peace, good will, and freer trade, If that
be possible without injuring any real
business interest of either country

the cause. What else was to have
been expected? Here was a calf that

his eyes in the capital of the nation, a

No Goods Delivered.

In Buffalo there lives a boy, now
some years old, who is the proud owner
of q bulldog designated as Mike" and
much priced pony. Recently a Wis
itor, endeavoring to test the child s
knowledge of the value Of money, said :
Willie. I'll give you 10 cents for
either like or the pony. Which will
you sell?''
Willie pondered for moment.
Gimme the dime. You can go get
the pony" he said.
The visitor handed over the coin, and
then strolled out as though to go to
the barn.
why, Willie! Would you rather he
should have your pony than Mike-and
do you think 10 cents is enough for
pony?" his mother protested.
Willie paused at the door and
grinned.
You know, Mike is out at the barn,
an if any one can take that pony out
while he's there he's welcome to him.

IF DR.. Sheldon is correct In his guess
that 40 barrels of liquor IL consumed
IN Topeka every day. a question which
has been troubling this department is
solved. It is improl,abls that a barrel
of whisky mas been shipped int this
town during the past year; the barrel
shipments are beer, and q barrel con-
tains " quart bottles. Forty barrels
tie to every ten adults In the city. No
wonder we haven't been getting our
share.
Foolish question by Old Ed Howe:
why don't the ten-cent stores sell
turkeys?" The answer seems to be that
the ten-cent size of turkey IS too old to
scramble, and too young to roast.

READ THE LABELS.

The law requires correct labelling
of all food stuffs, but how many pur-
chasers take the trouble to read the
labels? If they were to do SO, they
would not only protect themselves and
their families from the use of adulter-
ated products, but they would help
greatly in raising the general standard
of food.
The legislators have done their
share. Thav have given US pure food
laws, not perfect, but a great advance
on previous conditions, and furnishing
a large degree of protection to those
who will avail themselves of it. The
manufacturer for his part obeys the
letter of the law at least, and as rule
labels his products truthfully. The
third party in the transaction is the
consumer, generally the woman who
does the buying for the family. She
is failing to do her share if she orders
her goods without looking at the label.
