for the first robin and the first pussy
willow, so he could scare them away.
If he once let the robins and the
willow-buds get chance, he knew
he couldn't stay around much longer.
And he didn't want to go!
That's what Jack Frost was doing
when Nancy and Nick came along in
their Green Shoes, on their way to
the Fairy Queens palace. He was
pinching the fairies with the willow
buds!

Why be Fat?

Have you heard about the very best
system for weight reduction? 1t is so
easy to follow, SO different from the
Objectionable ways-and perfectly safe.
You may eat and drink all you need.
There is no tedious exercising. Use
a little oil of korein at convenient
times; also follow the simple,
clear directions. A loss of weight, ten
to sixty pounds (whatever you need to
lose), may be expected by this safe and
pleasant system of fat reduction. At
the druggists get a small box of oil
of &orein, and start at once. Be
of normal size, with good figure and
attractive appearance, agile, quick
witted, healthier and more efficient. By
reducing weight now you are likely to
avoid one or more diseases, heart weak
ness, sunstroke, apoplexy, etc, and to
add many years to your life. Remem.

and stay so. Brochure mailed FREE.

AMERICA AND TURKEY

1t is understood upon good au-
thority, that the Republic of Mexico
is to seek admission TO the league
of nations.
One by one, beyond recall, even as
the yearly roses bud and bloom, the
nations of the earth are coming into
the leagve.
Soon it may be written that they
are all a part and parcel OF that
great aggregation of interworld
strength, with the exception of the
United States and the home of the
unspeakable Turk.
Even Germany the land which
lost millions of its most brilliant
manhood. through the madness of the
arch-fiend, wants to enter the league,
wants to come into the fold wants
to become a member of the great
union of powers which are now
banded together in an effort 10 bring
about a lasting peace.
4 And, appreciating the fact that all
thinking men and women, that all
men and women who believe in the
holiness of peace on earth, good Will
toward men, will demand admission
to this league of peace-loving world
powers, the Republican presidential
candidate, knowing that he must
bow 10 the will of the majority, in
the end, after having fought the
adoption Of the covenant of the league
with a powerful but losing fight, now
states that it is q foregone conclu-
sion that We must have some sort
of an association" OF nations, if We
would not see the world again
plunged into the fatal vortex Of
bloody strife.
With the election only n day off,
why, we ask, should the voters hesi-
tate and demur over whom TO cast
their ballots for ? Why should they
not vote for the party which has
come out boldly and made the cam
paign upon q platform which endorses
the league, with necessary reserva-
tions, in place Of voting for the
man who Is the standard bearer of
the party which lodged the issue

CREDIT SITUATION

The downward revision of prices
continues to be the factor dominating
the general business outlook. The
movement is a natural and inevitable
corrective of the unstable condition
created in the previous period Of
rising prices, reckless public buy
ing and widespread speculation. Fall
ing prices are not a recent develop
ment. Before the close of 1919 the
prices Of number of important
commodities had begun to decline.
BY spring of 1920 a definite down
ward trend had been established.
Since then the movement has been
accelerated, until within recent weeks
it has forced general recognition
that the period of excessive buying
at rising prices has definitely ended.
Business must now go forward on
lower price level. This readjust-
ment cannot be effected without en-
barrassment in individual cases. 1t
will be effected. however without
serious general results by reason Of
the inherent strength Of the credit
situation and the assured cooper
alton of the banks with business.
The banks are amply prepared &c
finance business while it is working
out a more normal basis of operation
and a stable level of prices. This
process will require the employment
of a large volume of credit Inven-
tories cannot be disposed of abruptly.
/ In many lines, owing to general indis
| position to buy their liquidation

Meanwhile, they must be financed.
The long run effect of the downward
price movement, however, will be
to ease the credit situation. The
freedom from disturbance with which
the readjustment is effected depends

ness to recognize the changed condi-
tions.
