MR.. JAMES T. CAsTLEMAN! This
AVA name was on card which between
the thumb and forefinger of his secre-
tary pursued Jerry to the vault.
Mr.. Castleman was one of that big
three who were now financing the Real
Republican organization. Naturally Jer-
~ was delighted to see him.
"Just came in from Atlantic City," ex-
planned Mr.. Castleman. II heard rumor
downtown that Buckingham is playing
the old army game on you, and came
right out to see about It."
Something like it." admitted Jerry.
with smile.
mot being in active business, the in
formation got to me rather late. How
much do you need?'
This was Jerry's turn to break out in
laughter of pure joy.
We'll. if that isn't like you :" he ex-
claimed. "Of all friends in the world,
Mr.. Castleman, commend me TO the one

Mr.. Castleman also laughed modestly.

could get them on the long distance, and
! guess between us, we could sort of
stave things off for the present, at
least"
Mr.. Castleman," said Jerry, and
there was a still grateful gurgle in his
tones. that's just what / might have
expected. but the fact is l forbade either
with ather ro or paui ynm to try to get in touch

mad any business relations, nor much
acquaintance outside Of"
But we all know what the Archer
name stands for in business" insisted
Mr.. Castleman.
Yes; but I've only met you through
the Real Republican organization-
and I couldn't let the fact Of @ our il: 'sS, ssso
citation for patriotic purposes be made
the occasion for coming to you on
selfish mission"
BUTTS politics got you into this
trouble. II IL wasn't for us, and the
work we'se doing together, do you think
Buckingham would be tightening up the
screws on youe"
That sounds fine coming from you"
admitted Jerry. "and noble, and I sup
pose It's true. but you could not ex-
pect me to say It."
Now it's been said once more How
much do you. need?' Mr.. Castleman
was a practical man.
THE fact is, I don't think we're going
TO need anything. explained Jerry. Il
think we've just found better way to
take care of ourselves, and that is by
putting the situation up to the people
Of Philadelphia, where it belongs"
Then he explained in some detail the
plan evolved.
Mr.. Castleman listened interestedly,
with a quizzical smile upon his face,
and a growing light of admiration in
his fine gray eyes. IT'S novel enough -
was his flrsA comment As Jerry talked
on II becai.ee apparent that his approval
Of the project was quite heartily won.
You're right Jerry" H.. he e;liu declared;

could be better than to let them know
what that fight is costing you and who

be an indication that they are not worth
fighting for"
But they are" declared Jerry stoutly.

dreds of other employees were reading the
advertisement over their luncheon and
pondering it as they read and munched.
Discussions were also arising, some de-

to rob the workingrnen or to get them

them helpless in the event Of labor
troubles, while others-usually quieter.

Just before 1 o'clock the Offices were
besieged by small army of two or

Balky Sam winked at the audience,

"Ah1l kick de eberlastin' daylight

foot. John Bull growled menacingly
and Sambo jerked back. Billy Goat
reared up behind him, gave powerful
bounce forward and butted Sambo
with a whack that was heard all over
the theatre. Sambo rose into the air,
arms and legs sprawllng, and flew like
an awkward bird until he came plump
down upon Balky Sans back.
That was just what Balky Sam was
waiting for. He bucked gently and
Sambo grabbed hold for dear life, his
arms around Balky Sans neck and his
long legs around Balky Sans body.

Give-a- Bushei.

The following paragraphs concerning

from a letter recently written by GoN

In my opinion this - one Of the
most democratic and helpful movements
that has been launched in connection
with our present struggle for liberty
and democracy 1t reaches every
farmer and farm home in our State.
1t typifies the spirit of sacrifice and of
giving on the part of all the people
From a psychological standpoint 1t
interests people in the success of our
cause who have not heretofore been
reached Every farmer ard every
producer can easily give bushel of
mis- most abundant crop for the care of
the dependent families of our killed
and manned soldiers and sailors No
other movement or voluntary under
taking has been inaugurated for this
purpose.
The Give a Bushel movement has the
endorsement of President Wilson, Vice
President Marshall, and our leading
national authorities. It Is an Arkansas
project, begun by you and your good
wife in Cleveland County during our
recent Red Cross campaign, and netting
IN that county over S.. 600 Its success
in our state will be an everlasting
monument to the patriotism ofArkansas
and the most substantial advertisement
our state could possibly obtain It Is
proposed to carry this movement into
our neighboring states. thence to every
state in the American Union. and final
ly into our allied countries. 1t is safe
to say, from the reports from practi
cally every county in the state, that
