THE STARS SECRET.

One night, when the sun had set,
the sky shone with a rosy gold and
little white clouds drifted here and
there.
High up in the heavens little star
winked and blinked and rubbed his
eyes. - r
ooh, dear" he exclaimed, lis it time
for me to go to work ?''
A kind little cloud near by an
swered back. Eyes. it's time for you
to get to work and shine for the sun
has gone away and the darkness is
coming. The people on earth are al
ready looking up to see if you are
shining
"Oh, DEAR grumbled the star, and
I'm so sleepy, couldn't 1 just skip to-
night and shine some other night? %
The very idea, no indeed" exclaim-
ed the moon, who hung like slim
golden crescent in the sky, every star
must shine every night or else the
earth people would be in darkness
I'll tell you a good plan," said the
kind little cloud. anxious to help if
possible, I'll stay right in front of
YOU for a few minutes and you can
finish your nap before you begin shin
ing for the night
So the cloud gathered up her frills
and stood squarely in front of the
Star-StOOQ just as Slill as Sne could!
Down on the earth-on the steps of
a big porch. two little children sat
watching for stars
81 think it's time for them now"
said the oldest, the sun has been
gone some time"
Il thought 1 saw one right up there
minute ago." added the younger,
but it was dim and sleepy and now a
cloud has covered it up
Lets watch, maybe the cloud will
go away"
So together they watched and wait
ed.
Up in the sky, the little cloud said,
Time to. wake up now must co.
Yes, I'm waking up said the star
sleepily, I'll be ready in a second
So he brushed the sleepiness from
his eyes and began to shine very
brightly
And the cloud began to move away.
Remember" exclaimed the moon,
don't tell our secret tonight"
''Oh, no, won't" answered the star,
TN just wink and blink and laugh

Alleged Go-Between for TumuIty
Breaks Down.

investigating committee today w. A.
Price, a correspondent, whom Mrs.
Visconti told Lawson acted as a go
between for Tumulty, was recalled TO
the stand.
Prices breakdown came when At
torney Whipple, IN thunderouS tones,
demanded where he got $1,000 which
Price deposited at a local bank last
month.
II got it honestly Price sobbed
brokenly. I'VE live very cheaply at
home, and [ have saved from my sal

Price said he was always careful to
separate his news work fro mhis side
jobs of supplying tips" to Chicago
brokerage houses. He admitted re-
ceiving from several of these firms
S25 a month and said one had sent
him a christmas present" of $25.
Price admitted Mrs. Visconti got
what information she had from mem
bers of Prices family.
1t was agreed to hold hearings in
New York again next week. This was
regarded as a victory for Republican
members who opposed a Democratic
plan looking to an early closing of the

EARN CREDITS.

Prof. George E. Putnam of the de-
partment of economics and commerce
at the University of Kansas has pub
lished a monograph on 1.-The Land
Credits Problem
The problem of reforming our credit
machinery, says Professor Putnam, so
that farmers will be able to borrow
advantageously on the security of their
land is, perhaps. the most difficult
economic problem that has confront
ca the American people in recent
years. Some have insisted that the
proper remedy lies in direct govern
ment loans at low rate of interest;
others have urged that the problem
should be left entirely to private mi
tiative; while still others have advo-
Gated cooperative organization among
farmers as the proper remedial
agency. The resulting confusion has
been greatly aggravated by the fact
that each group of reformers have
been able to cite the counterpart of
their proposal in operation in some
European country.
Professor Putnam has attempted to
thoroly scientific manner. He holds
that there are two problems of land
credit, entirely distinct from one an
other. and that the failure to recog-
ilize this distinction has resulted in I'M
sound legislation. both state and fed
eral; that a material reduction in the
current rate of interest to all farmers
- which is the avowed goal of most
Of the legislation thus far enacted
will only raise the value of land and
make it more difficult than ever for
the younger generation of farmers to
acquire farm houses; that direct gov
eminent aid should be extended only
to those who do not possess land, but
who aspire to land ownership; and
that the problem of supplying present
landowners with better land credit IA
cilities should be left entirely to pri-
vste enterprise.

MILLION TONS MONTH
U-Boats Hit Up Predicted Average to
Starve England.

Washington, Feb. S.-Lloyds' re-
port for the third day of Germany's
new subma rine campaign shows that
the undersea boats are maintaining
the average of destruction set by the
Berlin naval experts as necessary to
success. The third days reported
ceding two days totaled $4,000. At
such a rate, the destruction of 1,O00,-
900 tons a month, which is the Ger
man aim, would seem about to be ac-
cCmplished.
German naval experts contend that
such an average would cut England
off from the world and end the war by
her starvation. 1t is realized here,
however, that the British government
is not lacking in measures to keep the
sea lanes open and that these will be-
come apparent as the campaign pro-
crosses,

HOLLAND REFUSES
Washington Officially Informed
of Butch Decision.
Bolivia Minister Declares Ma
ton to Break With Germany.

Washington, Feb. S.-The Neither
lands government, thru the American
legation at The Hague has formally
declined to accept President Wilson's
suggestion that it follow the course
of the United States and break off
diplomatic relations with Germany.
Information to this effect reached
here today in confidential dispatches
from Holland.
1t also was said in the dispatch that
the Netherlands government had
made a protest against unrestricted
submarine warfare and that at the
same time negotiations had been
duction of its mine field. The Dutch
government plans to have the British
field and the German danger zone
which lapses there SO contracted as

Spain, it is understood, protests Wig

ing taken over American interests in
Germany and being the best equipped
automatically of the remaining neu-
trail nations, Spain is anxious to keep
open communication with Berlin as
the best channel for negotiations be-
tween the central empires and the
entente.
Spain made an arrangement some
time ago with Germany for the safe
passage of enough of her merchant
vessels to prevent a commercial panic
within the country, but Germany has
withdrawn that arrangement.
