Louisville, Ky.-American manu-

play American goods in foreign ports
The idea has been proposed to the
American business men by H. G. Nc

Mclean has suggested that shipping
board vessels be fitted out as exhibit

competition of the British and Japa-

Mr.. Mclean has called the atten-

in her race for the worlds trade and
that japanese ships will be sent
around the world carrying exhibits of
Japanese manufactured goods. These
vessels will be operated by cooper

There's no sense in waiting any lon

AT that the mob crowded round Rus
ty Wren's door. And the pert GENTLE
man who had just spoken thrust his
head through the opening.
That however was as far as he was
able TO go. His shoulders were altogeth
er too broad for the small, round pass
age. And though his relations attemps.
ed to push him through into the house
they soon saw that they would never
succeed in their undertaking.
Let me tryl" another of Chippy's
cousins cried, But he had no better
luck than the first.
Then each of the fourteen remain
ing eousins-and then Mr.. Chippy
himself-had his turn at the door. But
every one of them found that he was
too big to squeeze through it,
Rusty Wren. Watching them from in
side his house, couldn't help laughing
although .it really was no joke
Though he was usually very mild,
Mr.. Chippy grew terribly angry the
moment he heard Rusty's laughter.
His sixteen cousins began to scold, too.
Again they tried to crowd through the
door. And they made such an uproar
that when Johnnie Green stepped out
of the farmhouse before breakfast he
couldn't help noticing it.
''What's going on here?" he cried
| And he hurried to his wren house.,
as he called Rusty's house, and drove
away the noisy visitors.
Then he shinnied up the old cherry
tree, to peep inside it. And as soon as
he reached the tin can which was
Rusty's home Johnnie Green thought
he heard an unusual cry within it,
THAT doesn't seem like a wren!"
he exclaimed. 1T sounds exactly like
a chipping sparrow!" Then as he
looked, he saw Chippy Jr's, head
with its bright bay cap, peer through
the mouth of the syrup can.
There's chippy inside my wren
huose!" Johnnie Green shouted to his
father, who had come to window to
