Ali gathered close 70 the sivsr bank
to watch Mr.. Musk Fsat enter the
water. He entered the water very
quietly and was soon out Of sight. A
moment or two passed and he did not
return.
'Tll bet he tried to play smart and
was drowned" said o. Postum.
They watched eagerly for his re-
turn. And when they were abont to
give up all hope. he cams up quietly
from behind and said: Here am"

cried. When Mr.. Musk Rat saw what
had happened he knew he had been

The forest jewellers were afraid
that you came into tho forest to do
them harm last night. said Tinker
Bob to Mr.. Musk Rat.
That's very funny. replied Mr..
Musk Rat, who ever heard of Musk
Rat harming any one that lived in the
forest"
All OF those who came with Tinker
Bob to the edge of the river were glad
TO hear remarks from the strange
creature One by one they stepped for
ward TO greet this stranger. In doing
this each one walked around Mr.. Musk
Rat once. Even Lady Duck welcomed
the new conner, and she was the first
to speak to him.
"Quack, Queck!" said she" You look
very much like my husband, whose
name is Mr.. o. Postum.
We are glad to know you are not

The Major Pole Cat ventured to ask:
Where do You live, Mr.. Musk Rat?'
II live right under where you are

Chief Perky. He could not understand

CHARITY USE WITH COMMON srRst.

! Waterloo has Just exposed a solicl-
tor who was meeting with great sue
cess in his begging for funds for
| stricken Armenians. The fellow Is en-
| Armenian or Syrian and It IL expected
tnat ne will DO dcported. Inside his
undershirt he had a roll Of 500 bills
that would have given him in his own
country the standing Of = muit!-mil-
| honaire in America
1t is o very profitable graft while 1t
lasts and the Isolated instances where
| the grafter ia nailed indicate that It
! lasts pretty well. While II Is the part
Of wisdom to call up the commercial
club and ask what IL knows about the
outside solicitor this fellow had GER
t!ficates from commercial clubs and
| recommendations from al manner OF
persons who had vsritably believed
him 10 be all that he appeared. He
! seems to have been smooth beyond the
| average.
There are ways and means Of get
ting contributions to suffering Armenia
and placing aid to any worthy OBJECT
without taking too much stock IN the
.tinerant solicitor for funds. There
are plenty Of organizations which are
beyond question as to purpose and IN
tcgrity thru which contributions TO for
eign needs may be sent with the as
surance that II Will get there and do
the work the giveg means II to do.
II all the money grated from the
charitable and careless were gathered
together In one sum the amount would
relieve the suffering & the world for
an indefinite period. Charity. to De
effective. must Use ordinary good senes
and precaution. The money careless
y handed to unknown persons with
moving story Of need In a fsr country
or another state may soothe the soul
Of the giver and warm him with the
thought that he has done a gracious
act: but that isn't the true object Of
charity. The object Is to aid the need
and the common sense Of charity is to
assure Itself that the gift win reach
its objective
The war taught u somewhat Of the
imperative need Of organizing our &C
tivtties IN a charitable way. We knew
when we gave the Red Cross and 9TH
er accredited organization that our
work and our money were effective.
We learned to cease overlapping our
efforts. We tried to make a dollar do
. dollars worth Of work and to con-
serve energy. That lesson should not
be forgotten in peace. The dollar
should go where 1t can be most effec-
tive and the least effective dollar is
the one given In utter carelessness to
the itfnerant solicitor. Even when he
Is sincere and honest It 10 q poor way
Of getting and giving. 1t costs too
great a part of the dollar. There may
| be circumstances and conditions that
| demand such house to house solicita-
| ton but at best it Is the costly way.
The dollar ought to get where 1T be-
| longs with Is little abrasion as pos
sible.
| The Waterloo case Is warning to
those who give on impulse and in care
lecsness. Sympathy and charity are
at their best when they are mixed with
Common acnse and ordinary business

FAKE LAND SALES.

Much Of the recent advance in land
values has bean entirely legitimate, pot
there are reports In some localities OF
the rankest kind Of manipulation. FAKE
sales are made, and finally the land Is
sold a. a top price 70 real farmer.
From eastern Iowa comes the report
of a real estate dealer soliciting farm
ers to list their farms with him on a
contract basis Of 21s per cent copmis-
sion. These farmers had no desire 10
sell. and they listed their farms at
figure which they considered h!en
enough so that there would be no
chance of selling. But the real estate
man succeeded in selling several OF
the farms at cutlandish figures, but
with q payment Of only $1,000 down.
This 81 1000 in most cases was more
than eaten up by the commission, ana
In one case the farmer had to pay
over 81, 900 in excess Of the $1,000 which
he received, in order to St9e the real
estate man his 21s per cent commits
sion. These farmers DO not know
whether or not they have really sold
their farms. They have exercised poor
business judgment, and, so far as they
can see, the only man who is certain
| to gain is the real estate man. .l
There are many farmers who are
inst as shrewd dealers in land as any
one, and they need no word OF caution
about the necessity Of carefully exam
lining contracts. 1t is not enough to
set a high figure on the farm, but 1t
Is also wise to take into consideration
the commission which O real estate
man may exact in relation to the cash
payment.
Above all, any man who intends to
! STAY By .k.s farming game should think
very seriously before he sells his farm.
The chances are that he will lose
money In the process Of selling his own
farm and buying another. The thing
for actual farmers to do in this land
boom IL to sit tight" refusing to sell
their firms unless they have some very
dsflnits plans about going elsewhere.

has never been heard away from its
