O. The First Little
OTOTV Trailing Arbutus
Of the Season.

"%M%HE little trailing arbutus was. oh, so very eleepy, but still he must
get up" began daddy 10 Jack and Evelyn settled down for a story.
. Really he had slept long enough. end he must wake up his family
for hadn't they the reputation Of being the very first arbutus Of the
season. It had been their pride to have the little children come to them hnt
with their baskets and never % be disappointed.
Nov, the little arbutus knew that this had BEEN the reputation OF his
family, and he most certainly must keep It up So he yawned a Ntde. ne
had had a good sleep. But he must get up. He really really must. And so
he stretched a little bit just a wee scrap. but enough to see out into the world.
There were all bis little sisters and brothers fast asleep around him, and then
he saw a lot Of other arbutus buds. But none Of them were at all thinking Of
getting up
1.-THE woods looked vey pretty, ne thought the trees we're 80 dark and
big. They almost frightened him at first when he looked up. for be was N
very near the ground and they were so very nar the ay. But then he looked
his warmr rays down on the little arbutus 10 he couldn't get chilled, and the
little arbutus decided that moment that the sun ws the best thing in the
world because he did 10 much good in helping the little flowers to come out
and to keep them warm.
THE little arbutus thought the world looked most attractive He was
glad that at last he had awakened and now 1t was his duty to awaken his
family. So he waited for the big trees to help him. he seemed to know that
the big trees would help him. The big trees at last moved. The little arbutuS
didn't know that 1t was the wind that made the big trees move. Anyway
they made him temble enough TO nudge his little brothers and sisters

last ten year by $40, 900, 900 in round
figures, or 10 per cent. But accord
ing to the figures of the board of trade,
British foreign has increaS-
ed in the last eight years by q per
cent; during the same period the gross
income subject to tax has increased
by 16 per cent, steam shipping by 81
per cent and railway gross receipts by
II per cent.
Thus it would appear, on the face Of
the returns at least, that the naval ex-
perditure of Great Britain has not in
creased more rapidly thar has its ma
tional wealth and is proportionately no
greater than 1t was ten years ago. So
the advocates of a strong navy hold
that If taxation has increased during
the last few years., 1t is not owing to
the money spent on ornaments, but
solely to the increased expenditure of
$500, 900. 900 pei annum on various
semi-socialistic experiments for which
Lloyd George is chiefly responsible.
The Chancellor may easily retort that
Gus in the demands for naval and mill
tary purposes keeping pace with the
growth of national wealth and tending
to stunt that growth SO as to render
condition of the people impossible:
There has, Of course, to be considered
the somewhat uneasy equilibrium OF
the balance Of power in Continental
Europe. The fact is sometimes lost
sight Of that the states of the triple
alliance are very densely populated. In
Germany there are 81 people to the
square mile; in Austria, 24S:7; in Hun
per square mile, while in France,
which Is generally supposed to be
dense1y populated, there are only 1912
people per square mile. AS the popu-
lation of Germany. Austria-Hungary
and Italy is rapidly increasing, the
problem how to dispose of the surplus
population Is becoming an urgent one,
for no great nation desires it's citizens
to migrate to foreign countries, where
they will become denationaliZed. Ger
many has so far been able to find room
for her rapidly. increasing population
within her own borders, and in the last
ten years the annual emigration from
Germany has been less than $4,000,
while that from Austria-FIungary has
averaged 100000 and from Italy 612.-
900. There Is thus an enormous loss in
national power and national wealth
suffered through emigration both by
Austria Hungary and italy n a con-
sequent desire, which may easily be in
terpreted as a. necessity, to secure
oversee possessions available to pro-
vide new homes for their children. F.

THE NATION AND THE CHILD.

Many states have adopted drastic
laws for the protection of children
who toll. Others have hardened the
conscience and listened to the cry of
the pocketbook. The national child
labor committee believes that the most
effective way to strike at the evil is
through the strong arm Of the central
government. The Owen-Palmer bill in
troduced in congress is the model
measure for which the committee is
striving. This act forbids the privi-
leges of interstate commerce to manu-
featuring establishments employing
children under IA; also to those which
work children under 16 more than
eight hours.
The child labor committee of Vir-
ginia-the hulwark of states rights
was the first to endorse the measure,
so that success is probable.
At present the state which prohibits
child labor has no power to restrict
child-made goods from over the bor-
der. BY its humanitarian act it ham
dicaps it's own people and helps the
manufacturers Of the adjoining state.
Child labor laws, like divorce laws,
should be the same in every communi-
ty. This a De brought about only
by national legislation. If the demo-
cratic party, which has long protected
states rights, is for the bill, who can

the climax of this throbbing hour,
while such gems as After the Bali

Since then much water has gone
over the dam. The comic had it's

AS a slight variation songs calling for

this irate Englishman, is such sturdy

quite as alarming in America. Yet the
trail of the throbbing heart is I'M

General Manager N. B. Black makes
an announcement regarding the change
in which he says in part:
AS announced In a recent issue,
The Evening Times today changes
it's name and will hereafter be
published under the title of Grand

tion). AS previously announced
this step is taken to facilitate the

ice to u readers. Separate edi-
G- torial forces Will continue in
charge of the morning and evening
editions, and new features will be
added to the news service that will
put the papers still further to the
front.
The two papers have been under the
same management for about two years
now and have proved to the people Of
Grand Forks that excellent results can
be obtained by this kind Of service.
The criticism is made that putting
both papers under the same name is
inviting a competitor in the evening
field. The Forum does not believe
such an outcome is probable however.
Three papers in a city the size of
Grand Forks is an unnecessary burden
on the merchants. 1t is the same
thing as supporting two local tele-
phone systems.
Grand Forks merchants would not
lend their support TO such a scheme.

When he got home again, Uncle Eli

so. Della had kindly explained every

It has been the idea Of many Am

The meagre reports that are coming
from Torreon must be something OF
an ~eye-opener to any American who
has such an idea. American war cor
respondents with the Villa army tell
Of fighting which is terrific. "Desper-
ate" Is a tame word to use in de-
scriblng the awful conflict that has
been raging for the past six days
about and in the city of Torreon.
These "greasers" fight. They are
displaying a bull dog tenacity and
fierce fighting ability which prove
that they have been greatly UNDER
rated in many quarters.

forces, if they are beaten back by the
federals. will be left practically with
out food or water in a desert land.
Under the circumstances, both sides
feel that they must conquer. If they
are capable OF such fighting as they
have shown in this battle, however.
they would also be capable of putting up
just as desperate a battle against an
American army, which they would
hate with the passionate hatred Of the
Latin for the Saxon. If America ever
sends an army into Mexico it should
do so without any false idea Of a few

Chinese President Explains Contin-
' uance of Practice.
Japanese-American Commercial
Weekly: The president declared that
as the republic of China was compos-
ed Of the five great races of Chinese,
Manchus, Mongols, Mohammedans and
Tlbetans, whose customs and religion
were at variance, it was possible to
"disappoint public feelings" by Great
ing a state religion. But annual sacri-
fees ito sages and good mem could
go on as they were not concerned with
religious problems and were not "in
conflict with the republican form OF
government" Gratitude to these men
should be shown, the president stated,
'by sweet incense offerings" but lest
this announcement should be taken as
the f~orerunner of the creation of Con-
fucianism as a state religion he was
careful to say that the people were to
be left free to choose their own re-
ligion and should cherish no mis-
understanding.
Although there is to be no state re-
ligion, there is, however, to be worship
of, heaven, Inc this was set out in a
separate mandate. The president de-
clared that mo ceremony is more i'm
portant than the offering of a sacri-
fee, and there is no greater sacrifice
thar that which is to be offered
heaven but to do away with the
possible belief among the populace
that by reviving this old custom Yuan
Shi kai personally aimed at the throne
he took precautions to modify the
ceremony by making it popular"
