This was tho funniest dance Tinker

the flames grew big and lsaped into

what was going on. Jerry tho Jay had
gone to call Mrs. Wren from her nest.
Little Willie Chip Munk had climbed
log nearby to see tho fun. Every
body was having such a good time.
Then Tinker brought Lady Duck to
the center Of the group and introduced
her as the new mother of Old Man
Fox's three orphan children
Lady Duck was somewhat afraid
when she saw o, Postum and Major
Pole Cat for she knew they were the
ones who wanted to kill her. But
when o. Postum saw her he bowed his
head to tho ground in shame to think
he ever had such a wicked thought In
his mind. And Major Pole Cat hid
his face because he too had planned to
have some fresh meat for his break
fast. But every one was glad to think
these children would have such q
beautiful mother to care for them.
Now for big parade before the
bonfire. Lady Duck and O. Possum
led out. Major FDle Cat was Jealous
Of o. Postum. hut he said nothing.
Chief Porky and DR.. Raccoon followed.
Then came Baby Owl and Major Pole
Cat. Then Jerry the Jay and Mrs.
Wren. Jimmy the Fox Squirrel

the Rabbit family marched with the

JIM ep0p's BUDGET BILL.

The bill introduced by Congressman
Good of this c hress!onal district for
a budget system for the federal gov
eminent is receiving approval from
leading journals in the east This
! ConEicsstuan is coming to be rcCog-
n!zcd as leader of hard working,
sensible and businesslille representa-
! ttvcs and his bill is commended as the
one best way out of crazy expend-
lures and pork harreling. Good has
warned Of the deficit certain to reach
billion and the necessity for re-
trcnchment. In this he is supported
by Secretary Glass who told the house
appropriations committee:
The processes employed in framing
and passing public buildings and river
and harLor bills lead to a great waste
Of money of the people. The con-
tinuance of the United states govern
ments activities where they are not
needed. whether these activities be
army posts, or sub treasures or hos
pitfalls, would have scant consi deration
in a real business BUDGET submitted by
a finance minister duly empowered by
law, and managed thru congress by 4
single committee under rules of 1fmt-
tation imposed oy the congress on it
self
Speaking of the budget system and
the Good bill the New York Times
says:
With a budget system in operation
congress would not venture TO add to
the appropriations total asked for by
the president, after consulting the de-
partments, a billion or two of dollars
for any purpose not approved by the
sober judgment OF the people. There
would be much less "logrolling' and
probably no raids upon the treasury
for political reasons. If the present
congress is in earnest about adopting a
budget system. no obstacles will be
put in the way of the passage of the
Good bill. now in committee, with any
amendments necessary to perfect 1t.
The subject has been discussed so
much that there will not De an excuse
for time-killng debate. The budget
can not become a factor in the national
economy too soon.

You people Of Marshalitown DO ho'
know how beautiful your own town Is
declared Des Moines man yesterday
II walked out today and saw part OF
the town In its setting OF autumn
leaves and sunshine. II IL a beautiful
city Of homes"
It's the truth. Marshalltown Is q
beautiful city of homes, The VISITOR
was driven all over the city after ne
had made that pleasing remark, He
noted that no part OF the city faiied
to show the honey look, that lawns
were well kept and improvements
making or made every where on every
street.
It's the truth. Few of us know the
real beauty and fine thrift OF our own
city. II is common. We pass 1t daily
unremarked, accept II as normal anu
I'm nowise extraordinary. But one WIS.,
itor after another assures that 1t Is re-
marliablc and extraordinary and dis
tinctive.
How much does the average Mar
shalltown citizen know Of his own
town? Passing from the residence TO
the Industrial districts II We were un-
der oath what factories and active in
dustrial plants could we reasonably
describe?

association met in the city some local
newspaper men undertook to show those
guests some OF our factories. In gen.
eral way they knew much Of Mar
shalltown industries but they confessed
themselves ignorant of the extent ana
immensely Of the two larger plants
visited. The visit was an actual rev.
elation to men whose trade and pro-
fession it is to know about Marshall
town.
We, you and and the rest OF US.
ought not to continue in ignorance or
the mighty strides our own city has
made and is making in business. trade,
and the industries. We Ought not to
miss or ignore the beauty of our city.
We ought to see and know and be
proud Of it all. We should realize that
whether the district or section is rich
or poor, practically every house in
Marshalltown is real home and that
it proclaims the fact individually to the
passerby, not only the houses in the
So called swell head section, but the
working mans home. There isn't a
slum in our city. It's d wonderful
thing when it is thoughtfully consid-
cred.
OF course it is custom to know
where the River Pc rises and where
it flows, to be able to bound Abysin-
MIA" and rattle off the list of products
of Arabia and Patagonia, but why not
know more about Marshaltown?
