lean spirit to accept tho consequences
In good humor, and To proceed forth

as expressed by the majority. That is
what the people did when Mr., Wilson's
election was determined by IA few
thousand votes In California. As soon
as the will OF the majority was ascer-
tanned IL was cheerfully oheyed. This
is the spirit which ought to be OBJ
served by the senator's who fought 80
stubburnly for ratification without res
ervation. The president should. now
accept the reservations made by the
majority and ask hs supporters To vote
for them upon resubmisslon OF the
question to the senate, or he should
throw the treaty overooard and make
his decision known to the country and
to Europe without delay. Nothing is
to be gained by beginning another
struggle TO secure ratlnratlol OF the

to be lost by such procedure.--

Tinker Bob had tried many times
10 teach Jerry the Jhy that Il was not
a wise plan TO 70 about telling every
body everything. But there are even
some forest children that seem very
slow to learn. When some folks arc
punished they will be good for . long
time, but punishment seems to have
no good effect on some othors, and
Jerry the Jay belonged TO this class.
So the king had to straighten out
things that Jerry upset.
Now Mr.. and Mrs. Tree Mouse lived
in large pine tree. Here they had
raised large and obedient family.
The thing that always seemed strange
TO Tinker Bob was that Mr.. and Mrs.
Mouse always lived In the top OF the
tree. Usually n mouse has his house
on the ground and Is very much afraid
10 20 high up IN q tree. But Mr., and
Mrs. Tree Mouse ran up and down the
tallest limbs as children run back and
forth on the sidewalks.
Tinker told Mr.. Mouse that Jerry
the Jay was apt to tell things that
were not always true and that these
among the forest dwellers. When Mr..
Mouse understood Just how the kins
felt about the matter he was much
pleased.
But tell me-" said Tinker Bob,
why DO you live so high up IN the
tree when SO many Of your relatives
live on the ground?"
"Oh. there Is a very good reason"

KEEP YOUR IOWA LAND.

tCeGar Rapids kepuolicdh-l
Tie price Of loya land does not seem
TO be going down with the price OF
hogs. The recent sales indicate
fairly steady high price. But the sem
sational sales, 1t may be noted, are not
being made. The spectators nave
been retired largely. II is well TO keep
them out OF the business. for they will
ruin a state that is as stable as Iowa
when they get in control OF the land
situation. Those who buy land to
farm IL are the only buyers who ought
! TO be considered-and the most un-
wise man in every such transaction IL
the man who sells, for he Is letting go
of something that Is safe and sound,
and lasting and that at time when
many other values are more or less
problematical. A man who at TINS
time sells his land to get money anu
stocks and even bonds Is the man who
is treading on dangerous ground. We
would hesitate TO make such con-
version. and the man who does not
hesitate ought to take renewed counsel
with his common sense. What is there
that Is safer than Iowa land and what
is there that Is half as sure OF being
worth more than it is now?
