The Old Scythe Tree.

Some of you perhaps, have heard of the "Old Scythe Tree" which stands on a farm in New York state between the cities of Syracuse and Geneva, and which people sometimes motor miles out of their way to see.
 Years ago when our civil war first broke out, boy was moving under this tree, and when he heard news of the war, he flung his scythe across a branch of the old tree and ran to the house to tell his mother he was going to fight for his country, and bid her goodbye.
 q left my scythe in the old button wood," he cried as he hurried away. Leave it there till come back, for I'll be back all right" he added cheerful ly, and was gone.
 But he didn't come back, although his mother waited and hoped and wait ed. The years passed, the family nov ed away, and the old tree, growing quite large, grew around the blade of the scythe, whose handle had decayed and dropped off long ago.
 But the people who moved on the farm had heard the mothers wish that that tree would always stand in mem ory of her son, and so they left it, and there today you see part of the blade showing, and above it flies an Ameri- can flag that the owners keep waving there in honor of the boy who gave his life for his country so long ago.
 All the children of the countryside know the story, and if you ever travel that way you can find many who will like to tell you the story, as perhaps their mothers or grandmothers told it to them, but we know it is true one, and the entl of the scythe's blade gleaming dully in the shade of the old buttonwood is ample proof of it.

Shanghai. July 3.-Possihility Of
a combination of German and Rus
sian interests is a factor that has
created genuine alarm in the Far
East in the last few weeks. The
newspaper reports of developments
in Soviet Russia and Siberia and the
indications that the German people
have not come TO a realization that
they were defeated in the world war
are the seat of a slight. though per-
ceptible. uneasiness in foreign quar-
ters and official circles in the Orient.
Russian refugees are fiocking into
Shanghai from Siberia by the hum
dreds. Soup kitchens have been
opened and funds for transportation
to other ports have been subscribed.
But the situation looks decidedly
cloudy from near view. the reports
brought by the refugees being de-
cidedly disquieting.
Recently a small party of Siberian
refugees. educated men and women
who formerly had wealth and social
position in the North. arrived in
Shanghai and told a tale of want
and suffering as a result of the re-
fusal of the producers to resume
their pre-war tasks and declared
that the situation was being taken
advantage of by German agitators
who have come into the country
recently and are attempting to
create a bond of sympathy. Their
story was that the Germans COM
planned of the terms Of the peace
treaty as being too harsh, urged
cooperation on the ground that
Germany is now a republic and, they
said, a defensive and offensive alli-
ance seemed to be the object of the

Harry. 1T is by means of this

was transacted by what was known
as barter That is, people traded
one kind of goods for another kind.
For example, there was shoemak-

in those days, in every village and
small town. The cobbler made
shoes and traded those shoes for
articles of food and for wearing
apparel and household articles. He
traded with people who made these
other things. But today, the world
is so large and conditions have so
changed that business is carried on
by another system known as the
credit system.

Sudden recognition of the power

paper money in the world added to-

than a fraction of the total values
of all kinds of goods made and
