BEDTIME STORIES
FOR LITTLE
FOLKS
Bennie Dog ard the Fox.

One morning Bennie Dogs mother
told him she wanted him TO take
basket OF eggs to market and get
some bones for soup.
"You be careful not to scratch those
new Shoes" warned his mother, and
be careful, too, of the basket. Remem-
ber that you are carrying eggs, not
stones, and don't you chase the squir-
|rels or rabbits. If you do you may
see old Black Fox, and he is as fond
of young dogs as he is of young
lambs"
When he was about hal- way
through the woods Bennie saw some
thing move. under the leaves close be-
side the path; he stopped and stood
very still watching the leaves.
Then all of sudden squirrel
darted from under them and ran
! across the path.
Away went Bennie Dog after it, the
eggs flying in all directions, for he
carried the basket along with him,
hitting it on the bushes and trees as
he ran.
| Up tree went the squirrel and
Bennie Dog stood barking at him as
he peeked down on Bennie from his
place of safety.
How long Bennie Dog would have
stood there barking will never be
known if a rabbit who was inquisitive
had not run upon rock to see what
was going on.
In second the squirrel was forgot
ten and off went Bennie Dog after the
rabbit
4 On and on they went, for the rab-
bit could not climb tree, and his
hole was far away, and when sud
denly he did dart from sight Bonnie
Dog found he was lost in the deep
woods far away from home.
He sat down on stone and looked
at his shoes; they were all scratched
and rough-looking from the stones
and briars; and he had lost his hat and
his jacket was torn, and then he
thought for the first time of the
basket of eggs.
He had lost the basket, and alto

LOYALTY

! n AITH, Hope and Charity
TT are Justly known as the
three graceS. A fourth
/ is Loyalty-and there are times
when it comes in for the high
est appreciation of all.
If you have in your heart a
large measure of loyalty, it will
cover and atone for a multitude
of sins and shortcomings. With
out loyalty you cannot be a
good husband, a good friend, a
good employe or a good citi-
zen. Smoke that doctrine of
loyalty in your pipe and govern
yourself accordingly if you care
anything about being true to
yourself, well'thought of while
you live and loved after you
have journeyed on.
The Stacker, who is more
loyal to the hands of the clock
than he is to his Job, will never
rise. above the mediocre line,
and when to disloyalty to his
lob he adds disloyalty to his
boss he becomes an ulcer in
the office and deserves the
shoe-leather boost.
Loyalty is the cement of
frie n d S hip-it fills up,
Smoothes over and heals the
cracks in character-it takes a
man for what he is, not for
what you would have him be
it helps you to give of your love
and to receive the love of those
to whom you stand true in spite
of their faults.
Loyalty is the reinforced
concrete base on which indi-
vidual patriotism is built. 10y
atty gave birth to and baptized
in blood the Stars and Stripes
under which you live and work
and play and sleep secure at
night. Loyalty. of countless
lives bravely sacrificed before
you were born hold forth today
equal liberty, opportunity and
protection alike to the son of
the soil and to the alien. If
you were born under the sweep
of the eagles wings, be loyal
to your country, or find another
that suits you better.

ALASKA'S IMPORTS TO
u. S. TOTAL $5O,OOO,0OO
Sum is Double the Annual Av-
erage Since 1912-Copper
is Largest.

Alaskas sales to the United States
in the fiscal year 1916 aggregated
nearly $50 100000, a sum double the
annual average since 1872 and only
exceeded by those of ten countries
when measured by their sales to us in
the last year prior to the great war
In addition, Alaska shipped to us
in 1856 gold valued at $l6,000,00
and silver to the value Of $3.50, 900,
both from its own mines.
The predominant feature of the
years trade, according to an analysis
made by the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce, Department Of
Commerce, was the rise Of copper to
first place among Alaska's expert
staples, thereby supplanting salmon
and gold as the leading items. Re-
ceipts of copper in ore, matte, and
regulus from Alaska aggregated III
million pounds valued at 26l mil
lion dollars This is four times the
average for the preceding three years
and exceeds the combined imports Of
that class from Chile, Cuba, Canada
and Mexico the leading foreign sourc.

u Justice Hughes said some
- very good things-ex-

good Americans readily accept.

candidate for office, not as a
big American. He repeated

own party leaders who showed
| the white feather" The
question at that time was
whether American rights under
international law were to be
insisted upon. President VIA
son had taken a firm and de-
cisive stand to this effect and
had informed Germany in plain
terms of the purposes of this
/ government. There was moth
ing weak or vacillating about
his course. Germany under
stood and complied with the
Wilson demand.
But before Germany had
done so there was a faction in
congress with weak kneed ten
denotes. Those people wished
to avoid any chance Of trouble
by keeping Americans off
armed liners. They would have
humiliated our government by
forcing our citizens to give up
plain rights under international
law. 1t was a peace at any

canism. 1t was the SHOW

course was taken by the ad-
ministration and the democrat
ic majority. The minority
leader in the house, Mr.. Mann,
led the opposition. The votes
in the house and senate caSt>in
favor of the "Scuttle" resolu-
ton were almost entirely re-
publican votes,
In view of that momentuous
vote when congress was put to
the test neither Justice Hughes
or any other man has a right to
charge the presidents forces
with weakness or inconsistency,
or lack of thorOughgoing Am
ericanism.
Justice Hughes to have been
consistent himself should have
pointed out that his own party
failed to toe the mark at the
crucial hour.
1t is the cold truth thakquite
q few of the Hughes criticisms
aimed at President Wilson are
more applicable to the republi-
can congressional leaders than
to the president.
Mr.. Hughes in his acceptance
speech said some splendid
things but he also made some
unworthy criticisms of Presl-
dent Wilson. Those criticisms
will hurt Hughes more than
Wilson.

that the law must be amended so that

Americans in foreign countries, thus
circumventing the antitrust laws, al

Profits In Raising Sheep

That Pennsylvania can become a
leader in the sheep industry of the
nation, and that barren lands and even
productive farms can be made more
profitable was the message oy W. r.
Mohave, professor of animal hus-
bandry at State College.
Philipsburg learned that it could
rise to an important place in the
inaugurated by the rural bureau of
the Chamber of Commerce. Within a
radius of six miles thousands of acres
are available for sheep and goats.
At the conclusion of the meeting
farmers and land owners committed
themselves to take up the industry
and many will take advantage of the
offer made by the State Department
of Agriculture to obtain a foundation
stock of 10 standard breed ewes that
will be brought from the West.
In his address Professor Mohave
said:
"The demand for wool from other
countries and the embargo on wool
from England and her c) onies has cut
off the regular supply for our manu-
facturers in addition to the amount
produced in the United States, result
ing in an advance in price so that it
is now selling as high as at any time
in the history of this country, with the
possible exception of the Civil War.

of the leading sheep producing States

A New Kind OF Monopoly

The sisal inquiry by the Senate
committee on agriculture has reveal
ed an astonishing state of affairs, IN
which the American farmer is the
victim of an international monopoly
and First Chief Carranza one of the
benefciaries.
4ucatan produces -tenths of the
worlds sisal crop, and this sisal COM
poses nine-tenths of the binder Irvine
used by American farmers in harvest
ing their grain crops. The testimony
brought out by the Senate committee
was that American fnanciers COM
bined with an organization of Yucatan
planters to monopolize the sisal crop
under the sanction of military force
exercised by Carranza, who receives
share of the profits. The sisal mon
opoly, it appears, furnishes a large
proportion of the revenue of the de
facto government of Mexico.
After having perfected the mono
poly the combination began to raise
prices. and it has been shown that
American farmers will be compelled
to pay S5,000,000 more than last year
for Irvine. The trend is still upward.
1t was for the purpose of ascertaining
why binder Irvine was increasing IN
price that the inquiry was started. 1t
was at first thought that the Inter
national Harvester Company control
led the Irvine market, but the evidence
shows that the Harvester company is
merely buyer of sisal fro mthe mon
opoly. and is not interested in growing
or marketing sisal. The financial in
terests backing the monopoly have
skillfully sought to place the blame
upon the Harvester company, but the
committee has finally got at the truth.
The question now is. can the mono
poly be prosecuted under the anti

grazing lands in connection with gen
eral farming. Sheep provide a profit
able source of income. due to the fact
that two crops can be secured from
each flock in one year when properly
managed. The first of these is the
lamb crop, and the second the wool
crop. The returns from wool and
lamb are received at two different per-
iods of the year, which is a decided ad-
vantage in the annual income of the
farmer. There is no class of live
stock that will grow into money
quicker than flock of sheep.
"Sheep are also regarded as natural
scavangers on the farm. They will
consume and utilize nearly all kinds of
weeds which grow on the average
farm and in most cases are refused by
other classes of live stock. AS weed
destroyers they have no equal"
