I |{K

see her new babies Mr.. Fox told has||
the same thing.
Mrs. Porcupine and Mrs.. Badges
also received q call from Mr.. Fox, and
were told that no children In The
woods could compare with their nsW
babies. 10 that each mother thought
her children the prsttisst babies. ia
not one told to the other the nioe
things Mr.. rsx had aid.
All would have gone well with M.
Fox II Mrs. Squirrel had not been ant.
ious that every one shnnld know that
her babies were considered the pref
test and proposed that they should
hold baby show and have Mr.. Fox fof
the Judge. . '
To this, Of course, all the mothers
agreed, for each one was sure her
babies would get the prize.
Mrs. Squirrel frisked over to Mr..
Fox's house to tell him the hews.
"Of course" she said, ut will DO .
great disappointment to the others
when you tell them that my children
are the prettiest, but 1t cannot be
helped. Some one must have the pref
tiest babies, and any one with half an
eye can see that mine are far ahead
Of all the other wood children"
Mr.. Fox smiled slckly smile when
he heard this and said. of course. he
would be proud and pleased to be the
Judge, but as soon as 1t was dark that
night he took his valise-he did not
stop for trunk or his household
goods-and out of the woods he went,
far away over the hills, and never did
he show himself there again.
Well he knew what would happen
to him If he went to that baby show
and picked out the prettiest babies,
and he did not intend to take any
such risk,
When Mr.. Fox did not show up, Mr..
Owl was called upon to Judge, but
being very wise bird he told the
mothers that he could not see well
enough in the daytime to give an
honest opinion, and so the mothers
went home each sure that her chill
dren were the prettiest babies in the
world. (Copyrisht)

WHY MIR. FOX MOVED

Mr.. FOX had a great many neigh.
AVA bors and he was anxious to be
friendly with them all. He was sly
and clever. like all his family but this
time he overdid the matter, az you will
see. ---..--.
Mrs. Squirrel had a new family Of
little squirrels and as soon as Mr.. Fox
heard this. over he went to call on her.
"Oh, what handsome babiesI l" ex-
claimed Mr.. Fox when he saw the new
squirrels. "Your children are the
handsomest In the woods, Mrs. SOUR
rel. You may be sure Of that" he told
her.
Now. 1t happened that on his way
home he was called in to Mrs. Rabbits
house to see her new babies, and Mr..
Fox told her that her children were by
far the prettiest he ever had seen, "the
very prettlest in the woods, Mrs. Rab-
bitl" he told her.
The next day Mr.. Fox heard that
some new little possums had been
brought to Mrs. Postum by the stork,

NEW SCHOOL BUILDING
Is WELL STARTED

The concrete foundation for the new
school building for District No. has
been poured, and Mr.. Groves, the su-
pervising architect, was in Glenwood
last Wednesday and he expressed HIM
self as highly pleased with the job, and
also with the expression of the voters
on the day previous.
The contractor says he fears the
work may be delayed because Of diff
Guilty to get certain sizes Of lumber,
which will soon be badly needed. How
ever, the work will be pushed just ss
rapidly as possible, and next year
when school opens it will be in one Of
the best buildings Of which any school
district in Colorado can boast. Tho
foundations are down to solid forma-
ton and are Of the very best, and this
degree of solidarity and permansncs
will be maintained throughout tAs
structure.

"But as the struggles between our
political parties became more intense,
our consular and diplomatic service be-
came the victim Of the spoils systsms,
which means that the offices were
gwen to men who had performed some
political service for the party in pow
er, and who were thus rewarded. They
were Of little account Is foreign rep
rssentatives, but, ~ was said in the
days Of Andrew Jackson, q Demovratic
president, TO the victor belongs the
spoils.' This got 30 bad that in 1905
the Republican party determined to
put stop to it, and our consular sys-
tenn was recognized and put on a
merit basis. A man was appointed A.
Ter ne had shown he could do the work
well, and he was kept in As long a.
he did it well. When Mr.. Wilson y
party came in it proceeded to undo
much that had been done by the Re.
publicans. The Democrats had been
out for long time, and thousands of
them wanted jobs. Our diplomatic
posts, ambassadors, ministers, and the
like, were practically sold to the lar
gest contributors to the Democratic
campaign fund, and one ambassador
made a perfect fool Of himself by hav-
ing his experiences in Germany writ
ten into movie picture with himself
as the hero and the Kaiser the deep
dyed villain. These spoilsmen knew
nothing of diplomacy, or of history, or
OF anything concerning the countries
to which they were sent, and for that
reason they were unable to keep this
country informed of what was going
on and what the chances were of our
getting into the war. Mr.. Wilson dis
trusted his own appointees 80 much
that he sent personal representative
to Europe to keep him advised Of what
was going on. He acted just like the
old kings of Europe, but, unfortunate
ly, he paid no attention to the advice
of his representative, but caused us to
go into the war unprepared.
"The Republican party will un-
doubtedly reorganize the diplomatic
and consular service and make It bet
ter than it ever was before, and I
should advise you, Jack, to think over
the idea Of going into it some day, for
you will be going to college in n few
years, and if you show the inclination
and ability to make good consular
officer you may be able to get a gov
eminent scholarship in that course and
be appointed after you have completed
it. Another thing the Republicans
may do is to give foreign service Off
GERS retired pay after they have ser
we'd for 30 years, so that that they will
not be down and out after such long
service for their government. Every
other country that amounts to any
thing does this, because consuls can
not engage in business and they have
no way to provide for old age. To be
proud Of our service we must make 1t
attractive to the best class of young
men, and to do that we must treat
them like human, beings
elbow many ambassadors and min
listers have we now, Uncle Ted!'
asked Ruth. "Twelve ambassadors
and 81 ministers are listed" replied
Uncle Ted, "but it looks as If the
majority Of them were called back to
plead for Mr.. Cox during the pre-.
election campaign"

ESSENTIAL
TO THE FARMER
Ranchcrs Urged to Work Along Busi-
ness Lines in an Effort to Stabilize
Prices

Lincoln, Neb.. Nov. 1l.-W. H. Nc
Greeyey, secretary treasurer of the
National Wheat Growers Association,
who arranged for the Nebraska meet.
ing at Hastings last week, has replied
to the address of Julius H. Barnes,
former head of the grain corporation.
Secretary McGreevy takes exception to
what he says was the statement OF
Mr.. Barnes that were it not for the
cushion" afforded in future trading,
the price of wheat would be much low
er than il is now.
"The only cushion that will protect
and stabilize the price OF wheat as
well as the price of other farm pro-
ducts,r said Mr.. McGreevy, "is to keep
cost sheets and do business according
to business methods.
Mr.. McGreevy said that the Wheat
Growers Association does not pro-
pose to secure a monopoly on wheat
prices, but to merely proceed along
fines that will give the grower voice
in fixing prices. 1t proposes to mar
ket grain as the legitimate demands
of the trade require it, the price to be
determined by a price-fxing commit
tee on which the public is properly
represented.
The selling price so fixed, he saiQ,
would be based on the cost Of produc-
ton, plus fair profit and would be at
all times subject to change and cor
rection by q national committee for
such purpose.
Mr.. McGreevy said that il it hadn't
been for the organization Of the farm.
ers in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and
Nebraska and the constant appeal q
the association to hold their wheat
until they can get fair return, the
price would have reached much low
er level than now prevails.

DOES 1T PAY TO FERTILIZE
WHEAT IN COLORADO

Bulletin State Agricultural College:
This question has been asked so often
that the Editor decided to interview
the Agronomy department Department
Of the Experiment Station. According
to that department the use of mineral
fertilizers has never been found to pay
in Colorado.
This is due to the fact that most Col
orado wheat soils are already rich in
the mineral constituents of fertility.
It does pay, however. to see that most
Of the land is supplied with organic
matter or humas, either by putting on
barnyard or other manure in proper
quantities or by plowing under a crop
Of alfalfa in the rotation. Colorado
soils need organic matter and water.
They are already rich in mineral mat
ter. Experiments covering nearly 16
years gave just as good results on
untreated plats as on the treated plats
where mineral fertilizers were used
without orgnic matter.
