Mr.. Graham skunk into the shed as
Rose ran into the house to her mother.
In a few moments he heard a low,
heart-searing wall. He knew that his
wife had told Rose of the sale OF Lad
die. When he came in, however, she
greeted him with her usual loving kiss
and sunny smile, but he noted her deep
pallor, her mental anguish. Brave lit
tie spirit! all through the evening she
never allowed look or word TO De-
token her sufferings.
John Graham could not sleep that
night. He wandered about the house
listlessly. He crept close to the door
of Roses room He could hear her low
sobbings Then, as he sat in the dark
ness in the front room of the house,
there was a captious patter OF two

putting CT gong down town. Then,
as he caught the echo of muffled cry
from Rose. his lips grew cruelty stern
and decided.
"Laddie must come back" he NUT
tered. Hunger, homelessness. rags
we can bear them all better than our
poor darling's suffering"
He clutched the little roll of bank
bills in his pocket with forceful deter

home was located and he started in its
direction. Half the distance accom-
| plished, he was met by Mr.. Doane and
his chauffeur in the automobile. He
hailed him to stop. Then he noticed
Laddie in the machine.

money" said Mr. Graham at once

Clouds of Distress Breaking \

should become involved in war with
any of the foreign countries at this
time. We have no inclination, nor
have we the ability, to engage in
war. We can prepare, and we should
prepare as rapidly as possible, so
that if obliged to defend ourselves
we cannot be overcome. Some of
the belligerent nations are now suf-
fering because their soldiers are not
furnished with adequate equipment
or supplies. They were not prepared
at the beginning of hostilities, per-
haps because war was not expected;
but even so, they probably did not

pear. We may learn by their mis-
fortunes. But war should be the
last resort. When the present COM
bat shall have ceased We must be
on a friendly footing with all the
nations. If our financial and bust
ness conditions are such as we claim
they may and ought to be, we may
be profitable customers of each of
the foreign nations, in supplying
our necessities and comforts, and
they in turn will patronize us.
There will be, no doubt vigorous
competition and the foreign nations
will do their utmost to secure and
retain the trade of agricultural

manufactured products. iHowevert
it is not active competition we fear
provided we are properly protected
by our Government. All we need

foreign countries the hand of bust

friendship in return. And we asl

tween the leading political forces o
the United States and ourselves tt

In the last analysis, the conclus
ions will be reached by the vast ma
jorities that the best interests o
the peoples of all nations will b.
promoted if the present internationa

The Business Outlook

| will add a few words in regard
to present business conditions AS
you know, during the last three
wears | have not been especially en-
couraged as to the immediate future,
but as to the long future / have
been a consistent optimist, for rea-
sons which have been given from
time to time. Assuredly we may
build our hopes and expectations on
the opportunities which this coun-
try offers. 1t seems to me at the
moment the outlook for Improvement
in our lines of activity are better
than they have been for more than
a year. This is undoubtedly in part
the result of increased expectations
at fair prices, due to the European
wars but in my opinion also because
of a change in sentiment toward
business, which now seems apparent.
The captain of Industry will again
become popular in the United States,
and this sentiment has been brought
| about by the efforts of business men
to satisfy the public in regard to
their reasonable demands. The in
dividual, or aggregation OF indlvld-
uals, or the nation, whose standard
of conduct conforms to the golden
rule will on the average secure the
largest pecuniary success.
The clouds of distress, suspicion
and hostility are breaking. In the
rift we may see the sunlight of bet
ter things and better conditions.
In closing ! quote from the speech
of Mr.. Robinson at Chicago in pre-
senting for your consideration a de-
sign, afterward adopted by you az
the seal of this Institute the senti'
ments Of which influence all of oul
deliberations:
'Tn it's detail this seal shows YOU

by the alchemy of wisdom into the
plowshire and the pruning hook.

cord, Enmity and Strife into the ray
