UTOU remember In the last story
that the Fairy Of the Rain
bow left the pot of gold with
little Puss Junior. Well. the hrst
thing he did was to MI his pockets
with the bright gold pieces, be-
cause the pot was a big brass ore,
you know. and too hs=vy to carry,
and then he started OF again on
his journey OF adventure. and by
and by. after awhile. he came to .
great forest where lived the Little
Men OF the Wood.
Now. you remember. u long time
ago. Puss had met a little dwarf
who had charge OF a castle. and
tina. this little dwarf had carried
of the queens child because he
thought It was one Of his own
PEOPLE. Now. this child had grown
up to be a big boy and the Little
Men OF the Wood had made him
their king and had called Rim
king Blue Eyes. But AZ he grew
taller they became afraid Of him.
and one night a. he lay ATleep they

And when little Blue EyAH AWokS

tie boy to the forest felt dreadfuIiy
sorry for him. but he didn't dare de
anything for fear Of the other little
men.
Then some OF the dwarfs came
nearer and some OF them stood upon
the boys chest. while others
walked along his legs and arms.
And BY and By they said TO him
that II he would promise to lsavS
the forest and return to his oWn
country, they would release him.
So he swore a solemn oath that he
would never harm them. aud after
that they cut the cords and set him
free. But he vas very unhappy to
think that he must leave them.

was very sad TO think that King

The public ledger. [volume] (Maysville, Ky.) 1913-1968, 1918-01-07

The most shameful aspect Of the
whole nasty business Is the way in
which the president of Argentina has
betrayed his country by his plant CO.
operation with Luxburg. II the peo-
pie do not rise up now and kick out
both of those precious plotters, they
are not of the stuff we believe them
to be.
1t would be perfectly natural II the
present wave Of resentment sweeping
over Argentina should drive that
country into war with Germany, de-
spite all Of President Irigoyen's paci-
fist efforts. There is cause enough,
for the published correspondence
shows clearly that the German gov
eminent is responsible for all Of Lux
burgs offenses. But it i'll becames
North Americans to advise self-re-
specting sister republic, the natural
leader of her continent as we are of
ours, what she ought to do in such
a contingency.

LESSON IN GOOD CITIZENSHIP

Some time az one merchant in a
nearby town regarded his competitor
as his enemy. He feared to work for
the betterment of his own town in
fear that his competitor would profit
from his efforts. He suffered. His
competitor suffered and the whole
town stood still.
The condition changed. The mer-
chant began to see that when he stood
still and his competitor stood still, the
town failed to move. He approached
the competitor in a friendly way. The
Ratchet was buried and both put their
shoulders to the municipal Wheel The
town started to move and gathered
momentum as it went. Mr.. Merchants
sales grew and the strangest thing of
all, his competitors grew also, and
both were satisfied.
The Chameber of Commerce is pro-
gressive in that its members are pro-
gressive. To stranger, the town is
judged by the degree of interest shown
in the Chamber of Commerce.
Are you helping to make the i'm
preston Of Maysville a good one? The
Chamber of Commerce offers you the
opportunity. The Chamber Of Com
merce is waiting for you.

$4,000 sLAcKERs
Evading Service, CrOwder Thinks
Provost Marshal General EST.
mates Ten In Each Dis
District of Country.

Washington, January Fifty thou
sand real slackers in the United
States Is Provost Marshal Gen. Crowd
er's estimate in his report to Secre-
tary Baker. That calculation sup
poses that ten men in each registra-
ton district have escaped service
without being caught,
While a few more than 100000 of
the more than 100000 registered
men failed to appear when called for
examination. Gen. Crowder estimates
that $4,000 have gone into military
service without notifying local boards.
This leaves more than 100000 to
be accounted for" says the Provost
Marshal General. Were they all
slackers?"
Gen. Crowder answers his own ques-
ton y-estimating that they probably
are not real slackers, because 100000
probably are aliens. This, he esti.
mates, leaves about $4,000 real slack
ers to be accounted for. Only a few
more than $4,000 have been identified
and few more than 1000 have been
prosecuted.
The report shows that 9ss Germans
of draft age have been accepted for
service in the National Army. A to-
tai of 14.161 enemy aliens were &C.
cepted, the remainder being Austrians
or Hungarians. The enemy alien reg.
istration was 279,431, of whom 104,6Il
were called to produce the 14,161 ac'
cepted. All aliens accepted make @
total of 76,545.
