Nov when Mrs. Quack told Peter

ter Bear, and he himself knew the
secret OF where Mr.. and Mrs. ouAch
had gone. she was mistaken. Some
one else knew. and that some one
was the very last person In the
word that Mrs. Quack thought oil
a being smart enough to ind out
And II Mrs. ousck had known
that he knew she would have been
quite upset It was Farmer Browns
Boy. Yes. sir. II was Farmer
Browns Boy.
II had come about In this way
Farmer Browns Boy had paid a
iaily visit to the Smiling Pool ever
since the morning he had hidden
among the alder bushes and seen
Mr.. and Mrs. Quack. Sometimes he
had gone in the morning. and some
times In the afternoon. but not an
other glimpse had he had OF either
Mr.. or Mrs. Quack. He had even
tramped down the Laughing Brook
clear to the Big River without see-
ing q sign Of either of them. Had
II not been for that hurt wing OF
Mr.. Quack's he would have felt sure
that they had gone on their way to
their usua. home in the far North
land. but remembering that wing,
he knew they couldn't have done
this. Then he made up his mind
that they had gone down to the Big
River. ard IL they had escaped the
hunters there were probably hiding
in some lonely place along the
banks of the Big River.
But every day he brought with
him . pocketful Of yellow corn and
scattered It amcng the bulrushes in
the Smiling Pool III they should
happen to come back. or IL any
other ducks should hapen to drop
in here they'll ind something to
eat. anyway" said he out of the
goodness of his heart Then one
morning he happened to think that
II was foolish to waste his corn. He
would see how much there was out
there among the bulrushes before
he threw any more there. Slipping
on his shoes and stockings he wad-
ed out and looked and looked. Not
q single yellow kernel could he fnd.
Back on the bank he sat down to
think.
THAT corn has disappeared. so
some one has taken it, thought he.
Now who Ia there among those
who live in the Smiling Pool OF
visit II who would pick all that
corn out Of the mud At the bottom
OF the Smiling Pool," He looked
over at Jerry sMuskrat suspiciously.
Then Ne shook his head. II don't
believe ne would bother with it,"
said he. ''Theic isn't any one else

the corn among the bulrushes and
then tramped OF home. Quite early

American Ideals and weakness.

Opinions may differ materially as
to what is the leading motive In the
life Of the average American and
what is the leading ideal. We have
been charged with being a nation OF
materialists, bent on getting money,
getting money and all we can Of it
not to save particularly, but to spend.
Our aim is not TO save more, but TO
earn more. II We can not have what
we want, we do not do without it, but
work harder for it. We believe in
gauging our pleasures by the cost and
not the satisfaction we get out OF
them. When we make up our minds
that we have been foolish and ritter
Ell away our possessions, we try to
recoup, not only by spending less, but
by earning more.
1t must be admitted that we can,
as a people, make money. We can
save only small part in comparison
with other nations, but we do have
| the knack of getting 1t. The salaries

ness men would make some European
princes envious, and the wages OF
American workmen have attracted
boards of European laborers to our
shores.
No one denies that we make
money, but is that the leading mo-
! tive in American life? The ques-
lions: What In your opinion are
the leading ideals of the men with
whom you associate ?" and What do
you consider to be the chief points of
weakness In American life?" were
put to about one hundred leading
men, lawyers, bankers, editors, busi-
ness men, farmers. scientists and
others, and the replies show that
forty-six consider service to ones fell
lows to be the leading ideal, while
twenty-eight think the making of
money for selfish enjoyment or per-
sonal power Is the leading motive.
A Wall street financier and vice
president of large trust company,
said:
a think that the leading ideals with
the men with whom l associate are
in general the ethics Of Wall street.

A cold is really a fever, not always
causedby the weather but often dueto
disordercd blood or lack of important
food-elements. In changing seasons
fat-foods are essential because they
distribute heat by enriching the blood
and SO render the system better

Pride In power and in the own
ership Of things. Too great reliance
on the fnality Of material.
"The lust for spending and having

A religious director Of 5000 uni

zone weakness Is that of indul-
gence. Our life Is crammed these
days with opportunities for relaxing;
the picture show, the ball game, the
theater the novel, and the canoe

A bank examiner gave this list:
"Materialistlc tendencies.
Striving for effect at the expense
of any or all ideals.
Lack of simplicity.
Lack of serious application to
present or future problems.
"Ioss OF early ideals through the

life insurance companies answered:
"In business

than mere money; 1t means the

II Messrs. Wilson and McAdoo sue
coed in imposing any more stamp
taxes upon this country they will do
so only after they have overcome the
opposition Of Speaker Champ Clark,
who threatens to take the floor to
make Alright against any such pro-
gram. In the light OF history this is
not a fearsome threat-for in the last
Congress Mr.. Clark took the floor to
oppose the president in the matter Of
the canal tolls and was unsuccessful.
To be sure, the Democratic majority
in this Congress is much smaller than
It was then and there are more con-
stituents to be affected by the stamp
taxes.

What the World is Saving.

'fDo you wish to have all the world
say that the flag Of the United States
can be stained with impunity%
President Wilson put this question
to his audience at Des Molnes and the
crowd roared back the answer, no"
with great emphasis.
Yet this Is exactly what the world
is saying and what the world has been
saying for months-to be accurate, the
world has been saying this since the
day, Immediately following the sink
ing Of the Lusitania, when Mr.. Wilson
went to Philadelphia and made his
famous "too-proud-to-fght' speech.
One would think, from the presi-
dents language at Des Moines, that
he believes the people to be respon-
sible for whatever insults the flag OF
the United States has received in the
last nine months. But there never
has been a day when the people were
not restless and uneasy and Inundated
by the thought that their country had
fallen to such position in the worlds
esteem.
The entire fault has been President
Wilson's. He now asks II the people
are content TO have their president do
nothing but write notes. Yet it is not
so long ago that he believed that his
notes were the acme of national de-
tense, and that his rickety old type
writer was. a more efficient armament
than either battleships or forts. The
president has gift Of good language
and most plausible method of gloss
ing over an undesirable sltuation-but
the people know the facts. They most
emphatically do not wish to have all
the world say that the flag of the Uni
ted States can be stained with i'm
punity." And because that is not their
wish they intend to terminate Wood
row Wilson's term in the White
House.

Eighty independent Republicans Of

prediction. Men whose personal
jrecollections Of 1893 are still clear,
need no evidence on that subject.
Facts regarding experience under
the Underwood act Of 1913 are OF a
similar nature. During the last ten
months Of the Republican tariff law,
the balance OF trade In favor Of the
United States was more than 100000
1000, while during the corresponding
period under the Democratic tarin
law and before the outbreak OF the
war, the balance Of trade was about
S345. 100000, or q reduction Of $780,
100000. This represents not merely
o loss Of that sum to the Industries
Of the United States but Of many times
that sum, for each dollar expended in
productive enterprise Is rcspent
dozen times year, which means that
In a ten months period we suffered an
Industrial loss Of not less than $2,600,-
100000.
Advocates Of free trade are appar-
emily unable to understand that q pro-
tective tariff establishes the only real
and permanent competition--competi-
ton not with foreign producers but
competition among the producers OF
our own country.
At the same time that protective
tariff shuts out goods Of foreign pro-
duction, 1t encourages foreign cap
ltal to come to this country for invest
ment in productive enterprise. When
the foreign manufacturer finds that
his market in America is shut off and
his investment rendered correspond
lngly Improbable, he necessarily
searches for new opportunities for in
yestment and finds in the protected
nation the opportunity he desires. In
stead Of letting his capital remain
idle, he naturally sends it to the coun-
try from which hts products have been
cut off. and invests 1t in factory such
as he has been accustomed to operate.
Under low tariff or free trade in
pocket knives, for example, we pur-
chase those articles made In Ger
