"Humph"' said Andrew in disgust. This sort of thing makes me sick! These modern authors are enough to make china dog bite a rubber plant"
 Too bad. said Gmogene. '1 will wager that it will be different when you write your book

Peter Rabbit had eyes for just one thing. the tail of Paddy the Beaver. He couldn't keep them off it. You know Peter has such a funny little tail of his own that he never has been ouite sure whether to be ashamed or proud of it. So he always is comparing it with the tails of his friends. Old Mother Nature noticed how Peter was staring Well what have you on your mind now, Peter?.' she asked
 "That tail" replied Peter I've seen a lot of queer tails, but that one IS the oueerest. ever. I should think il would be heayy and dreadfully in the way
 Old Mother Nature laughed. IT you ask him, Paddy will tell you that that is the handiest tail in all the Green Forest" said she. Isn't that SO Paddy?'
 Paddy nodded. Tt certainly is,' said he. q couldn't get along without Il.
 There isn't another like it in all the Great World" continued Olo Mother Nature, "an diff you'll be pa tient you will see just how handy IL IS
 It was a queer looking tail. There was no denying that. It was broad and thick and flat oval in shape ano covered with scales instead of hair Somehow Peter couldn't make it seem like a tail at all. Just then Jumpei the Hare made a discovery. Why. he exclaimed why! Paddy has feet like Honker the Goosep'
 "Onlv my hind feet" said Paddy. They have webs between the toes just as Honker's have. I suppose that is what you mean. That is fH swimming But there are no webs between my fin gers" He held up a hand for all to see. Sure enough, there were no webs between the fingers. They were entirs- ly free.
 Now that everybody has had gooG look at you, Paddy suppose you swim over to where you have been cutting trees We will join you there and thSr vou can show us what kind of lum- herman you are." said Old Mothe' Nature
 Paddy slipped into the water. Thei : for a minute or two he floated with sust his head above the surface. Then without warning he lifted his broad, heavy tail and brought it down on the surface of the water with a slap that sounded like the crack of terrible gun. It was so loud and unexpected that every one but Old Mother Nature and Prickly Porky jumped with fright Peter Rabbit happened to be sitting right 0 nthe edge of the dam dacine

tbe nond. He didn't stop to think He inst jumped. Of course there was nowhere for him to jump but In the pond, and that is just what he did He landed in the water with great snlash. Now, Peter doesn't like the water. as you know, and you may De snre he scrambled out just as fast as a,,er he could. How the others did laugh! Peter indignantly.
 "To show you one use he has for that Iandv tail,'' replied Old Mother Ma t,,re. That is the way he gives wafn' ing to his friends whenever he covers danger Did you notice how he uses his tail when swimming? He turns it on edge and uses it for a rud' der and sometimes when he is in a hurry he souls with it a little. These big webbed hind feet are the paddles which drive him through the water. He can stay under water as much as five minutes. See. he has just come up now.
 Sure enough. Paddy, who had dived when he hit the water with his tail had just appeared way across the pond almost on the other side, and was TOW swimming on the surface.
 we'll go around there,' said Old Mother Nature. You can dry off on the way, Peter" She at once led the way.

A RADICAL DIFFERENCE

Secretary OF the Treasury Houston is
right In his contention that there
should be no unnecessary drain on the
national funds at this time. The treas
ury Is facinS big deficit and the people
are insisting upon some kind OF relief
from ourdensome taxation. Necessary
appropriations reach an enormous total
and 70 provide for them alone. without
increased taxation. is a financial prob
lem as yet unsolved.
Nevertheless, emergency measures
wisely designed 10 Increase tho general
prosperity OF tho country are justified.
even though they may seem to conflict
10 some extent with the taxation prob
lem. Most of Secretary Houston's Rrgu-
ments have been marked by soundncss
and sanity. but his attempt TO link
measures FOR tho relief OF the farmer
with soldier bonus legislation sounds
foolish.
The revival oc the war finance corpo-
ration and the emergency tarifr act are
the so-called farmers relief measures.
They are intended 70 provide a market
for the surplus OF farm products and 20
improve business in general by improv-
Ing the purchasing power OF the farmer,
which has been reduced $1,000. oo0,0Q0 b.
the drop in prices. Tho war finance
corporation has $3.50 OOo. 900 TO tia credit
on tho books Of tho treasury. This sum,
properly handled. would be sufficient 10
accomplish n great deal in extending
credit TO solvent foreign buyers with
good collateral. II would be much bot
ter for private capital 10 handle this.
