to give you some cherries"
But how can you when they are

Perhaps I can squeeze you out a
few more late ones" said the kind
tree. Then it shivered and shook
and squeezed itself, and. surely
enough. out came some nice. red
cherries.
Then all OF a sudden, just as the
bunny was going to hop home, along
came the bad old Pipsisewah.
"Oh. no! This time I have caught
you, Uncle Wiggily!" cried the un-
pleasant chap.

gily! I'll fix this Pipsisewah!"
And then, suddenly. the branches
and twigs of the cherry tree began
lashing about. like whips, and they
whipped the Pipsisewah so hard that
they whipped him off.

are you?" asked the bunny.

THIS PLAN CARRIES CURE.

The American Federation of Labor
of New York urges labor to cease
strikes for six months and give Pres
ident Wilson chance to make good
with his plans for reducing the high
cost Of living The suggestion is more
than good 1t not only carries with
it spirit of fairness, but in itself is
the greatest probably of all the ways
available to the country to bring de-
sired end. When strikes cease and
production is again maintained at nor
NAL, the prices viii come down, and If,
with this, the people will practice
some economy in buying, it will be no
great time until the matter of living
viii be on more normal basis. By
all means, let's try it.
The Mena weekly star., 1919-09-04
WASTING OUR MEANS.

During these days of stress and
complaint over high costs, there is nc
doubt but vast sums of the peoples
saoney and the peoples gilt-edge Sc
curities, like Liberty Bonds and War
Savings Stamps. are being garnered
by sharp peddlers Of various kinds of
stocks, most generally oil stocks.
This sort of enterprise has been car
ried on for some time in Polk county,
and probably will continue. Beyond
doubt there are some good and legiti-
mate concerns with stock to sell, but
it is equally safe to say there are
others.
Listening to the average peddler of
oil stocks, it is easy to see floods Of
thick black oil gushing from Mother
Earth, and fat dividends for the small
sums to be invested But when you
get down to cold fact, there is no GER
tainty about oil wells or oil compa-
MES with stock to sell, except that
Buying such stock is a gambling propo-
sition, pure and simple.
If a person has money that he or
she can spare--can lose without seri-
ous inconvenience, there is, If fair
Judgment is used, chance to get re-
turns from some of these deals. But
when it is case of putting up money
needed for everyday life, or in carry
ing on a legitimate business, or the
surrendering of hard-earned savings
intended as "nest-egg" to meet flu
txre needs, buying oil or mining stock
is very poor move and the less of it
done in Polk county the less hard
ship and regret and heartaches there
will be left.
In short, if you have money you do
not need, and want to gamble with it,
all wen and good--buy oil stocks and
take what comes, good or bad. If you
can't afford to give up the money,
don't fall for the neatly worded bats
all too frequently being placed before
you.
