the reciprocity pactc What is offer
ed by the cou%ntervailing clause in re-
gard to these products: If desired.
how would Canada accept the coun-
tcrvailing offer! These and other
subjects which have arisen since the
adoption of the Underwood tariff i'll
many cases do not appear to have
been clearly grasped by many Cana
dams. \ comparison Of the tariffs,
reciprocity pact, and the tariff under
the courtcrvailing clause will remove
much of the confusion regarding these
subjects.
Under the Fayne tariff the duties
werc-Whcat. - cents per buslc,:
s%eunolina aud wheat flour. % per
II and on bran, 20 per ccnt.
The reciprocity agreement made
wheat free. inc retained Il duty OF so
cents per barrel on flour and SEM
DINA, and on bran and other animal
feeds IL IL cents per hundred.
The Underwood tariff retains a
duty Of 10 cents per busllcl on wheat.
while the duty on -four and semolina
is Is cents per barrel. and. on other
products of wheat 10 per cent.
~"Accepting the countervailing
clauses in the Underwood tariff would
make entry of Canadian wheat. wheat
flour and wheat products into the Uni
ted States free.
MANY believe that under the coun-
tervailing clause Canada could make
wheat free, and secure free entrance
into the United States Of Canadian
wheat. while retaining a duty against
American four and ~by-products of
wheat coming into Canada. This is
entirely wrong. Canada has to make
free wheat, wheat flour and semolina
to obtain free entry into the United
States of Canadian wheat, wheat -four
and products of wheat. The group
must he made free: the countervail-
ing clause not applying to II of
these products. put to the combina-
ton.
Another common error is the
method by which Canada could ac-
cept of this offer. The general. opin-
ion is that this could he done by or
der-in-council. but it can only be done
by an act of parliament. This wrong
idea probably arose from the old Of
fer of a reciprocal arrangement.

GRANDFATHER FROG STARTS
OUT To SEE THE GREAT
WORLD.
BY Thornton w. Burgess.

BY Thornton w. Burgess. ,.
Copyright. 1918, by j. G. Lloyd.) =
Grandfather Frog looked very
solemn as he sat on his big green lily
pad in the Smiling Pool. He looked
very much as if he had something OH
his mind. a foolish green fly actual
ly brushed grandfather Frogs nose,
and he didn't even notice it. The fact
is he did have something on his mind.
1t had been there eve since his cou-
sin. old Mr.. Toad, had called the day
ual over the question of whether it
was best never to leave home or to go
out into the Great World. Old Mr..
Toad had gone out into the Great
World when he was very young. while
Grandfather Frog had spent ms
whole life in the Smiling Pool. and
each was sure that his way was best.
Right in the midst of their quarrel
along had come Farmer Browns boy.
Now Grandfather Frog is afraid OF
Farmer Browns boy. He always has
been afraid Of him, n ever SINCE he
was big enough to jump he has divcd
heaifrst into the Smiling, Poo. as 500
as Farmer Browns boy has come
near. Perhaps that is one reason why
Farmer Browns boy has liked to
throw stones and sticks al him.
Thoughtless people often. seem to find
pleasure in frightening others. you
know. So when Farmer Browns boy
appeared this time Grandfather Frog
stopped arguing with old Mr.. Toad
and with a great splash dived into the
Smiling Pool and under a lily-pad.
There he stayed and watched his cou-
sin, old Mr.. Toad. grinning in the most
provoking way. for he wasn't afraid of
Farmer Browns boy. In fact he had
boosted that they were friends.
Grandfather Frog had thought that
he saw Farmer Browns boy tickle old
Mr.. Toad under his chin with a straw,
while Mr.. Toad sat perfectly still, and
seemed to enjoy 1t. he knew that 1t
was true.
Grandfather Frog had not come out
Of his hiding place until after old Mr..
Toad had gone back across the Green
Meadows and Farmer Browns boy
had gone home for his supper. Then
Grandfather Frog had climbed back
on his big green lily-pad and had sat,
there half the night without once
leading the chorus of the Smiling Pool
with his great deep bass voice as he
usually did. He was thinking very
hard. And now this bright sunshiny
morning he was still thinking.
The fact is Grand father Frog was
beginning to wonder If perhaps after
all Mr.. Toad was right. II the Great
World had taught him how to make
friends with Farmer Browns boy
there really must be some things
worth learning there. Not for the
