ENGLAND AND AMERICA.

by the graves Of our hero dead,
BY the sight Of our flags entwined;
Through the tears and blood
OF the wars red flood
We have found what was good to find.
We looked deep in each others eyes,
When we gave all we had to give;
And it make US friends
For our common ends
That the best in both should live.
War has killed many age-old lies
Fed with hatred and purpose dire.
Even truths we know
Are but halfway true
In the blaze or our friendships fire.
May 1t burn with white hot flame
To destroy what would come between
All the false things said
And the truths long dead
Keep the trust In us strong and clean!
If we stand as we stood in war.
Through the strain of the coming years
Then the threatened blows
OF a world Of foes
Cannot touch us nor wake our fears
AS the blood in our veins Is drawn
From one ancient and honored source,
We should i've always
AS in wars red days
Friends and comrades through Lies
We must watch-for the venomed tongues
Speak again with the poisoned word
They would break the ties
With their vicious lies
Or their half truths we long have heard
We must strike each lies ugly head
As it rears in its foul red way
For the love bear
To our boys "out there"
Who, with theirs, sleep till Gods great

Getting to Work Again

Before the war Belgium was noted for
density Of population and the high standard
81 comfort among its inhabitants, all enjoying
peaceful conditions, and looking forward. to
their general continuance. 1t was industrial
efficiency and calm, hopeful spirit that made
Belgium so populous, thrifty and legitimately
ambitious in business. No country was ever
more inoffensive. Live we'll and contentedly,
and let others live likewise, was the evident
motto Of Belgium But autocracy had secretly
mapped it to be suddenly overrun and crushed
when the most powerful army in history swept
forward to conquer the world. Belgium met
the first impact and looks it today. 1t was
indomitable through four years of calamity. and
captivity. But it has been saved. 1t is clear
ing away the wreckage. There will be greater
Belgium, one tried by the fire Of millions Of
hostile soldiers and thousands Of cannon. 1t
IS might, not right, that is suppliant for terms
What Belgium represented in economics be-
fore the war is an instructive example tor the
rest of the world. If Missouri had as many in
habitants to the square mile as Belgium the
population of this state would be over 3S,OOO,-
boo instead of an eigth of that number. The
fact is an index to the future of Missouri
whose natural resources are more extensive
IL and varied. Do the legislatures and other Of
6cial representatives of the state ever think
5 OF what is ahead: They are building for
something inconeeivably great to narrow minds
and small politicians.
Belgium's old prosperity will return to it.
and more abundantly.-St Louis Globe

biggest owl in the world. or
the smallest, or the latest. you'd
be a freak"
Are those freaks you're playing
WITH" asked the judge, cycling the
pig and the elephant.
mo, they are just rubber bal
looms" explained Peggy.
IF l blew up like that would I
be freak?" demanded the judge,
after thinking the matter over for
a minute"
you surely would be-a very
funny freak" laughed Billy.
Then blow me up ordered the
Judge. And with that he swallowed
the melon balloon, all except the
squawker end.
This surprised Peggy and Billy
greatly, but it seemed clever idea,
so Billy blew and blew and Judge
Owl swelled and swelled. He was
we'll on the way toward becoming
a freak, when. suddenly, he began
to wiggle and then to jiggle, and
finally he jerked the squawker out
of Billy's mouth.
"Waak- awk- awk!" walled the
squawker and the wall seemed to
tell how Judge Owl was feeling in
side
Here, come back. You're not
freak yet" cried Billy.
IF that's being a freak, 1 don't
want to be one" gasped Judge Owl,
tearing the balloon out Of his
throat. Il nearly burst"
'Tweet! Tweet! You look fun
ny!" laughed Mrs. Robin, who had
been watching them from the lawn.
What are you trying to do?'
Judge Owl wants to be the big
gest owl in the world so he can join
the circus" said Peggy.
"Tweet! That's easy. Plant him
in Gardener Phil's dollhouse
Everything grows big in there"
"A good idea" cried Peggy and
Billy, and away they raced to Gar
dener Phirs dollhouse with Judge
Owl.
I'VE will plant you in this sunny
corner" said Billy, leading the way
to a spot where tall tomato vines
grew to the roof.
Just plant my feet hooted
Judge Owl, when they dug hole |
big enough to hold all of him. And |
so they set him in the ground like |
young tree, and Peggy sprinkled |
him with the sprinkling can.
Hoo! Hoo It's hot in here"
hooted Judge Owl. Peggy and Billy
thought so, too, and so they ran out
for a breath of fresh air. Hoo! |
Hoo! It's hot! Let me OUT"
screeched Judge Owl, but Peggy

Speculative Dealings Endanger Industry.

Behind all other causes contributing to the
sky-rocketing of commodity prices is the ee-
ment of speculation. This is not confined to
single line, but permeates all, and is being in
dulged to such an extent as to threaten the
country with financial disaster. High prices
are the inevitable accompaniment of condi-
ton of unusual demand and great expansion of
currency. But all the trouble can not be
ascribed primarily to the diminished purchas-
ing power of the dollar. The real cause lies
deeper.
Out of the conduct of the war came mon
ster in the form of enormously expanded public
credits. 1t is not only desirable but imperative
that the great bond issues be supported, and
they can be maintained in proximity to par only
by such operations as necessarily involve SINH
lar treatment of private credits This induces
initiation and that in turn encourages specula-
ton, and the present riot of gambling in stocks
and commodities in general follows as naturally
as night comes after day
The deplorable fact is that this gambling
mania interferes with legitimate industrial oper-
atoms. Investors are not content to wait for
the slow process of moderate earnings, but seek
inordinate gains by the shortest route. Those
who lose, for there must be a loser wherever
there is winner in game of any kind, en-
deavor to recoup themselves by further pung-
ing. and business stability is further disturbed
thereby.
How to apply the brakes to the whirring
wheels of the stock market and the grain and
provision pit without jolting legitimate enter
prise is the big question. Same way must be
found, for present tendency is in the direction
of disaster. Prices can not go up forever.
Europe is as deeply concerned as America and
its statesmen, as we'll as ours. are looking for
way out. Public credit rests on solid foun-
dation, and is not supported by balloons or
bubbles. These are present however and un-
less carefully Debated may bring calamity.

lures?
read the recent article in "Peo-
pie You Ask About" relating to the
Prince Of Wales right to marry an
American woman, Is there any pre-
cedent for such a marriage? My
daughters picture was among those
which appeared in The Bee as exam
pies of what the prince would see
were he to visit Omaha, but do not
anticipate that he will, or that If
he should, we would see more of him
than the paper headlines, so there
is nothing personal in my question
only matter of general interest
on which I would appreciate being
informed. READER.
Thus far the only woman Of
American birth ever called upon to
share European throne has been
the former Alice Heine, born in New
Orleans, daughter of Michel Heine,
well known banker Of the Crescent
City. After the death of the late Due
de Richelieu, she became the con-
sort of the ruler Of Monaco, and as
such was received with full sovereign
honors at the court of St. James
and some, though by no means all,
of the monarchial' capitals of the
continent. She has, however, for
feited her place on the throne and
her sovereign status as the conse-
quence of the dissolution Of her
marriage by divorce.

Biggest Bird in the World.
IN HE circus was in town. Peggy
L had watched the parade In the
morning and was now resting COM
fortably in her hammock at home.
She was resting because her busy
father was going to take her to the
performance that night and had in
sisted that she have an afternoon
snooze so that she would not be too
tired.
AS she rested, Peggy amused her
self blowing up two rubber squaker
balloons her mother had bought for
here while waiting for the morning
parade. One Of the bits Of rubber
when blown up became a bullying
green watermelon and the other be-
came an elephant.
Down the street walled another
squawker and along came Billy Bel
GUM with a balloon in the shape of
a pig.
Lets see who can blow the big
gest balloon" suggested Billy. And
so they blew and blew until the
elephant and the pig swelled up
until they could swell no more.
Hoo! Hoo! Too. Too! Is that part
Of the circus?"
They looked up at this question
and there stood Judge Owl perched
on a tree branch above them. He
was looking at them through dark
goggles. OF course, it was queer for
a bird to wear dark goggles but
Judge Owl, being a night bird, could
not see well in the day time, so
Peggy had long before given him
that pair of glasses.
Hello, Judge Owl, What are
you doing so far from Birdland?"
cried Peggy and Billy.
1--WE come to join the circus"
answered the Judge. Its a bit
dull in the woods just now, and /
long for excitement"
But how can you Join the cir
cus?" asked Billy. "Circuses like
freaks and you're not a freak"
Whats q freak?" demanded the
JUICE.
"Why. something different from
others Of it's kind If you were the

and Billy only laughed "Hoo! Hoo!
for me here" hooted the Judge.
I'm growing so fast there isn't room
Again Peggy and Billy laughed.
Hoo! Hoo!" screamed a terrific
voice, III you don't let me out quick
I'll smash the whole dollhouse.
Alarmed at the loudness Of the
voice, Peggy and Billy looked in
side. Where they had left Judge
Owl was a mass of feathers-the
biggest bird Peggy or Billy had ever
seeen. 1t was Judge Owl, but Judge
Owl grown until he was larger than
an elephant

while only a few years ago he was
a mechanic in a tiny shop making
motor boat machinery. His success
he attributes to his foresight and
his readiness to adapt himself to
the changing conditions Of the times.
With a comparatively small amount
of capital he had made out of his
little shop he bought up old London
motor buses which wartime condi-
lions had put out of business. His
purchases he shipped to remote
parts of the world, at profits which
laid the foundation for his present
vast fortune.
