some months to come in spite of the
difficulties incurred thru readjust-
ment.
Both the west and south are exceed
ingly prosperous as a result of high
prices. the consequences of which will
be a large increase in acreage of all
farm products; something that would
have been impossible had the govern
ment attempted to keep prices down
as some cure-all reformers would like
to have done. AS for export trade,
what is lost in one direction will be
largely made up by reopening old
markets, and the gains from exploiting
new fields of enterprise

Speaker Champ Clark advises those
who complain of the high cost of liv-
ing to "eat more corn" Why not?
says Leslies. Corn is one of the
healthiest and cheapest foods in the
form of mush, fritters, Johnny cake,
mullins, corn starch, corn oil and corn
syrup. 1t will astonish the public to
know that the principal corn products
concern in the United States grinds
100, 900 bushels of corn day in four
big plants and has created a market
for products of corn all over the world
by advertising. Ten years ago, accord
ing to the recent statement to its
stockholders. of Mr.. E. T. Bedford,
president of the Corn Products Re-
filming company. he spent $4,000 for
one years advertising. 1t paid so we'll
that his company now spends for ad-
vertising nearly three-quarters of a
million dollars annually. and the bust
ness has grown by leaps and bounds
The credit is given ungrudgingly to the
generous use of advertising space on a
broad and liberal basis.

BED TIME TALES
BUsHY FAILS TO GET ADVICE.
BY CLARA INGRAM JUDSON

AS Bushy swan down toward the
marsh bird who was calling, sudden
thought popped into his mind. Sup
pose the marsh bird really could tell
him here Rednead was? Then his
quest would be over almost as soon
as it was begun and that wouldn't be
fun a Bit" But, altho Bushy liked
the idea of being big and going on a
quest all by himself, he also was a
really, truly friend of Redhead. And
he wouldn't be sorry to find out that
Redhead was well and happy, no. sir.
So he hurried over to the marsh bird.
who kept calling, Come over here!
Come over here! Come over here!"
When he got quite close, he stuck
his head well out of the water and
said, "Welli Here 1 am What have
you to say?"
"Better go home. Better go home!
Better go home: said the marsh bird.

quite as decidedly. What would 1
want to go home for, silly bird :?
Haven't l just started? Can't you
tell me where Redhead is?'
But the marsh bird only said. Bet

you quite blame him? When a per-

they think is big and important do
they like to be told, first thing, to go
back home? You know they don't
Neither did Bushy And he didn't
go home, no sir. He just stuck his
little nose back under the water and

He hadn't gone very far before he
spied Mrs. Wildduck swimming on
ahead of him

THE THIRD GIFT.

The East was gray with the dawn of day,
And the Three had journeyed far,
And, a blazing gem DER Bethlehem,
Was the white and wondrous Star,
And the weary Wise Men found Him
there,
with his head on Marys yellow hair,
Twas gold they brought for the Prince
they sought
Red gold from the opal East
And incense meet. for the holy feet
OF Judah's promised priest.
And, last of gifts to the Christ and King,
Was the myrrh which meaneth suffer
ingi
So the Hindu bent, all reverent,
With the riches royal brave,
And the stately Greek bowed low and
meek
Ger the frankincense he gave
But the dark Egyptian turned and wept
By the manger where the Saviour slept! !
Astrologer, with the gift of myrrh,
As the stars had prophesied.
He knew that he, alone Of the Three,
Would walk with the Crucifiedl
And the Christ Child, clasped to Mary's
breast,
But sighed and stirred from a dream of
rest!
