ference y that there Isn't any present

ference ~ that there isn't any present
occasion for demonstrating It. But II
you were in danger or II you were afar
engaged in a great task you'd find that
all the folks were there behind your
back waving encouragement and let
ting you know they are behind you.
why boy. they do that at football
game. They don't rush out and cheer
you coming home from school any
more than you gather at the home
threshold to meet father and formally
thank him for having earned the food
and coal and comfort that YOU enjoy
every day. But the folks and the
friends are there with the goods any
time you really need it. The interest
is there The will to get behind and
stand by is always there. Maybe 1t
isn't displayed and demonstrated voci-
rerously but don't worry; it's there.
Stick right along. Make good in
school. Lay plans to go out on the
farms somewhere in vacation and take
the place of some one who has gone in
harvest. That's real service. The fell
low who went on ahead needs that as
much as he needs a gun. The country
needs It. Don't worry about getting in
to the war. That's getting in and II
it goes on long enough you'll have your
chance with gun big or little. Don't
imagine for minute that you are not
in it. We are all in it. those of US who
are too old and those of us who are
too young. But you young ones have
the advantage You'll get the big
chance If it lasts long enough. And I'M
til then Go what you can.
You're not out of it schoolboy. You
are in it. In it at home, in it at school,
in it in the neighborhood. You are
merely waiting and the rest Of us are
waiting on you and depending on you.
We know you'll be there when the
time comes for YOU to march away
Just as the other boys were who were
schoolboys last year and the year be-
fore and the year before that. Don't
imagine that any lack Of interest in you
exists. It's just the contrary You
wait and while you walt serve as you
may. Fate has been generous to you.
She gives you youth and youth means
the big chance. the long opportunity.
Be grateful for it. There are a million
men who would find a mighty happi-
ness If they knew that next year or
the next or the next the big chance
that has passed would come to them
again.

Billy Bunny and His Friends

Robber Hawk poked his head inside,
and then he squeezed through and then
he flew over and sat on the foot Of the
little rabbits bed. Oh, dear me! I feel
so sorry for Billy Bunny when he wakes
up. Won't he be frightened? Well,
just guess he will. And so would you
and so would and so would the kali
ser, especially If 1t were the American
Eagle instead of Robber Hawk!
But tho little rabbit didn't wake up
Just then, and Robber Hawk didn't
move. He Just smiled and smiled and
every once in a while he'd raise his
wings gently and then fold them
around himself, and then open his
beak and shut ono eye and wink the
other. And after that he lifted up ono
Of his feet and sharpened q claw with
a little file he carried in his waistcoat
pocket.
Now while he was doing all this tho
little Black Cricket, who lived IN the
fireplace down stairs in tho best par
lor and sang with tho Victrola some
times, happened to walk upstairs, and
when she looked into Billy Bunnys
room. Of course the flrst thing she saw
was that wicked Robber Hawk. But
she didn't scream or faint as some
Lady Crlckets might have, and most
likely would have done. No. Stree

Russia
He was right-from his point OF
view. Our point of view is different.
For the allies the American secret serV-
ice is better than that OF RuSsla-the
"Ochrana," beloved by sensational nov
elists-ever was. 1t is far more ener-
get!c 1t is more Intelligent. And II
can not be bribed.
The head of it-Mr. Bielaski, a Pole
by origin-was asked one day how II
had discovered so much about German
plotting both before and after the
United States was at war. Not week
passes without some fresh revelation.
Mr.. Bielaski said dryly, I'VE WORK
without a brass band
This secret service really is secret
Its agents are everywhere. Not
pleasant feeling, even If you have noth-
ing to conceal, that eyes may De
watching you, that your goings out and
comings in may all be noted down. For
those who are plotting and spying
very uncomfortable feeling, indeed!
Here is an example Of the method OF
working without a brass band. A
pacifst was arrested. He had been
talking in a train. When he got out
man followed him and took him into
custody. But why?' the pacihst IN
qured, putting a bold face on 1t. You
have just been making speech IN the
car" the secret service man replied
quietly.
We'll. what Of IT." his prey biust-
cred.
You have been making that speech
a number Of times. You made It IN the
train from B. to NJ last Thurs
day: you made 1t again the next day
between p and Fl. Twice THIS
week I have heard It before today"
But I don't remember your race
the paclhst faltered. unable to deny.
Il didn't want you to. ThAte why
/ hid It behind a Newspaper" was the
secret service mans answer.
The local detectives usually have
their calling stamped all over chem.
The federal force Is never noticeable
I know men belonging TO It who pass IN
all companies without remark Their
clothes are well cut, their manners well
bred. AS soon as detective becomes
known, thru carelessness or Boosting,
Blelaski has no further use for him.
That Is why the American secret
service has found out so Hnuch.-Lon-

Home Sweet Home, that's the place
for me,
Safe in the Old Brier Patch,
This is my home, no more will roam
For I've buttoned the door with the
latch
This is the song the victrola SANG
when Billy Bunny and Uncle Lucky
reached the Old Brier Patch, as told
you in the story before this.
And I guess that victrola knew what
it was talking about, for Mr.. Bunny
got up and shut the latch on the front
door and Mrs. Bunny put the latch on
the back door, and If there had been
any more doors Billy Bunny would
have seen to them.
Well after a while 1t was time to
go to bed, so all the little rabbits went
upstairs and pretty soon Uucle Lucky
was snoring away like a steam radiator
out Of order. And then something hap
pened. Isn't it q shame that something
Is always happening to those dear. nice
little Dummies? But, you see, there were
two or three very disagreeable people
in the Friendly Forest and OLD Man
Weasel was one, and Daddy Fox was
another, and Mr.. Wicked Wolf was a
third. and Robber Hawk was Just as
bad. So there you are.
Yes, sir. Something happened, as I
started to tell you before Old Man
Weasel and the other enemies Of Billy
Bunny got their names printed IN the
paper.
All Of a sudden the window in Billy
Bunny's room was lifted up Just little
bit, and then a little bit farther, and
then a little bit more. and after that

Topics of the Times

The question Of what a worker can
pay for necessities Is quite as 1mpor-
tant as what the producers prof1t shall
be. And then also, comes in the ques-
ton Of Just what necessities are. Some
Of our present necessities were yester-
days luxur!es.

Perhaps with other strong Americans
the Democrat would include Roosevelt.
Nearly everyone would.

kaiser's prebliscite that Rastus stands

When certain interests fall out hon.
esty gets its chance. Thus the Wiling
ness OF the brewers to save their bacon
at the expense Of the red liquor men
brings the Wine and Spirit Bulletin to
confess:
The brewers are fooling no one. not

fe.sional prohIbitsonists. That part OF

CANNON BALLS AND BILLIARD BALLS.

that he would be doing a servl:e in

Smith Was a Good and Useful Mar,
CBy Senator A. B. runk.1

The death Of James A. Smith closes
a career Of marked influence and use
fulness. A loan of few hundred dol
lars from a devoted mother was the
basis of a large fortune built by rare
business genius along legitimate lines.
or this fortune he contributed largely
and wisely and out of very busy life
he gave talent which made him an i'm
portant factor IN moral movements, in
educational circles, in politics and in
public affairs.
The legislative record Of Senator
Smith is significant of his character
and ideals. He was patriotic and un-
afraid as he stood erect in conscience,
strength and sterling manhood allied
with big business. He gave no sign
Of self serving. He earnestly supported
measures levying heavy tribute upon
his class and upon himself. Votes
cheerfully recorded denied to himself
