outrageous advance which has been
experienced cannot be accounted for on
that ground alone. If it is true that
the big packing concerns have been ae-

sent out spies, who were overawed by

know we don't have to pay anything
for buying them"
II suppose not" said Mrs. William.
"Thats the nice part Of being a
weasel. We don't have TO pay our

Only If we're caught" said Mrs.
Ward. Then goodness only knows
what they might do to us. We'd have
to pay for the things we've killed.
MANY people like us because we de.

The Reformer commented recently on
the Fact that the Kaiser Of Germany
pretended to be on speaking terms with
God, but that he never spoke of the
teachings which the humble Nazareue
brought TO the earth to brighten and
beautify the lives of men. Since then
our attention has been called to the
Kaiser : remarks some years ago when
he was tod that a certain speaker had
predicted the second coming of Christ
in 1915. The emperor replied: ,'Oh
no. that sill never do at all; il would
interfere with my plans.
