ooh, compass, will you show us
the way out?" cried Billy eagerly,
picking 1t up from the earth.
II can tell you nothing" tinkled
the compass disgustedly. This queer
creature has got me so confused and
tangled up with it's senseless turn
ings and twistings. that ] don't know
whether I'm coming or going"
True enough, when Billy came to
examine the compass. he found that
it didn't know a thing. Apparently
some dirt had got into its workings
and put It out OF killer.
You're a funny guide" grunted
the mole. "A blind mole knows the
way better than you do"
Please, wise Mr. Mole. show us
the way out" pleaded Peggy.

dark woods. Good night" With
that the mole drew back into the
hole and was gone.
IT wish ! had grabbed and eaten
him." hooted Judge Owl.
Suddenly the saucy rabbit Jumped
out of the woods.
Say, if you don't want the dark
to catch you, you'd better hurry out
OF here" he squeaked, at once dart
ing back into the woods
Bunny was certainly getting his
revenge and rubbing IL in.
IF someone could just give me a
good crack with club, / could fly
out of this woods into the region of
found things" suggested Silver King,
the golf ball.
That's a good idea" cried Billy
Belgium, "I'll do It. Then maybe you
can show us the way out"
Billy set up Silver King on a little
heap of dirt, then swung one of the
golf clubs as he had seen men do.
"Hee! Hee! What foolishness!"
chuckled Gloomy hooks.
Wham! Silver King had drawn in
his head, arms and legs and when
the head of the club hit him he went
tipping through the air-zipping
straight for Gloomy hooks nose.
Vow! Murder" howled Gloomy
Nooks.
"That was a good punch" cried
Silver King. "Set me up higher this
time and try again"
Wham! went the club again and
Silver King again smashed into
Gloomy Nooks. But this time he
only touched the top Of the images
head, bounced off and went soaring
up through the trees.
"Hurrah" came Silver Kings
voice, floating back, II can see the
open links. I'm on my way to free

Drive us out, too" cried all the
other golf balls to Billy Belgium.
That's the way to escape"
Murder! Oh, my poor eye!"

LIKE ELECTRIC
BUTTON ON TOES
Tells why a corn is so painful
and says cutting makes
them grow.

Press an electric button and you
form a contact with a live wire
which rings the bell. When your
shoes press against your corn it
pushes its sharp roots down upon a
sensitive nerve and you get a shock
of pain.
Instead of trimming your corns,
which merely makes them grow,
Just step into any drug store and
ask for a quarter of an ounce of
freezone. This will cost very little
but is sufficient to remove every
hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. A few drops applied de
rectly upon a tender, aching corn
stops the soreness instantly, and
soon the corn shrivels up so it lifts
right out, root and all, without pain.
This drug is harmless and never in
flames or even irritates the sur
rounding tissue or skin.-Adv.

RIGHT TO THE POINT.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat: Every
traveller finds European telephone
service far inferior to ours, but Mr..
Burleson, whose rule seems to be in
efficiency first, has taken it as a
model.

ONE PROBLEM on PEACE.

Prominence is given to statement by Mr.
Arthur ]. Bafour that no large force Of soldiers
will be sent to Russia to restore order. This
is, of course, important; and coming from such
high source will have much weight with the
public In the course of the interview, how
ever Mr.. Balfour made statement that is far
more likely to affect the course of the peace
council than any consideration of the Russian
problem. Asked as to the possible effect of the
League of Nations on existing alliances, he an
swered:
The constitution OF the League of Nations
will involve no modification of treaties of al
lance previously concluded.
How will this be Interpreted The treaty
of alliance between France, England and Russia
still exists so far as the surviving partners are
concerned That between the three named and
Italy still has similar life, and so on through
the list.
Mr. Bafour scarcely would have said what
he did had he not been sure of his ground. 1t is
therefore difficult to avoid the conclusion that
the Paris peace council is not going to entirely
recast international relations. America went
there expecting to get nothing, and will get it.
The others all have demands to be satisfied, and
these will be met in proportion to the ability
of each claimant to impress the delegates.
The war to end war" now bids fair to leave
us just about where we were at the beginning
secure only to the point where we are able to
entirely protect ourselves.

Employment Offices.

Omaha, Feb. 4.-To the Editor of
The Bee: noticed an article in one
of the local papers by one George
Kleffner, who states he was inform
ed that private employment agencies
were sending out help to parties, that
the men would work a short while
and then the boss would fire them
and get more help from the agent,
so the agent would get additional
fees, and wants the Welfare Board
to investigate these agencies. Well
this investigation is welcomed by
all private agencies in Omaha. We
will tell Mr.. Kleffner there will be
some more investigation done by this
board, as we have been informed
that his great free employment Of
flee has sent out and money col
lected from the men that were sent

II LOVE you"

I've heard a lot OF music
As a connoisseur Of tone

And the moaning saxophone
I've listened to the jazzers
When they did their raggy worst
But for harmony that's scrumptious
I know / heard 1t first
When Yvonne. la plus jolle
Said as she looked at me,
"Je vous aime!'
The ginks who play on glasses
And ring the shiny chimes
Or the organ at the movies
I've heard them lots Of times
And the wops who play the either,
And accordion TO Hoyle,
Have left my ears a-tingle,
But they never touched the soil
Like Marie. qui est belle,
When she whispered, an, so we'll,
'Je vous adorew
I've heard John Phillip, sousa
Play all his famous stuff.
And the art Of the ukulels
Has lured me Oft enough:
But though give them credit
In their amateurish way,
When It comes to downright music
I heard II first that day,
When Odette, ma cherle
Murmured tenderly,
'Je taimep'

Approaching that many readers of
The Bee on different and various
occasions have the need of legal
advice, and also realizing that very
often this advice is not procured
because of the expense and trouble
involved, The Bee has made ar
rangements with an able and re-
sponsible lawyer to answer all such
questions that may be propounded
without charge or cost.
Our attention has been repeatedly
called to impositions and frauds
perpetrated by scheming and sharp
practices that could never have been
accomplished had the victim sought
and taken the advice OF a reliable
lawyer.
The law, like everything else, is
constantly changing. New laws are
being made to meet existing condi-
tions and decisions are being now
handed down that are like guide
posts that tell the right direction to
take. If we can by this con-
templated service, assist any Of our
readers threatened with trouble or
help them determine their legal
rights and obligations we will have
served our purpose.
We request you in sending ques-
tions to make them as terse and as
brief as possible; to write legibly
and only on one side of the paper;
to give correct name and address so
we may know the advice is sought
in good faith. These questions will
be answered in this column by your
initials but not your name, and COM
will be considered con-
fidential as to their source. Just

Mr.. Vail said that the changes were ain

that work; w. S. Clifford, who has been
controller of the company, has been
made vice-president in charge of ac-

of the above changes Mr.. Wallis state

Preparatory to the end of the period

great development which has taken
place in the art of transmission of in

OF the great development of multiplex

been in charge of the Federal operating
board, was invited to rejoin the organ
