do you like these?"
And with that the bunny took off
his hat and threw right in the bears
face all the sharp, stickery chestnut
burrs! Right on the soft and tender
nose of the bear the burrs landed!
"Oh! Wow! Woe is mel" howled
the bear "Oh, my nose! My nose!

to nibble you today"

gily, smiling as the bear rushed away
through the woods. Then Uncle Wig

she asked.
Yes, indeed" answered the bunny,
and he winked one eye at the three
animal boys.
SO that's how the trick was not

how Uncle Wiggily with the stickery

One Ticket Is Enough.

We can conceive Of no public
necessity requiring our good friends
Ernest Bell and c. f. (Red) Mccall
man to provide a legislative ticket
TO make the race In November
against the regular Democratic nom
inees. Bell and McCalman have
served more than one term in the
legislature. Their records are IA
miliar to tho citizens. Each has had
part in the passage OF local and
general legislation. They have WELD
ed more influence with other mem
bers Of the legislature than many
OF their colleagues. It may be said
for them that they were always on
the Job
Mr.. Bell and Mr.. McCalman have
been elected TO the legislature with
out opposition and over opposition.
They made their races as Demo-
Gratis and with the Democratic nom
nation. They carried the party label
and there Is no mark against their
Democracy.
We believe they will mako a mis-
take in getting out ticket this year
against the Democratic nominees, who
have the same claim upon the voters
in Shelby county that Mr., Bell and
Mr. McCalmRn had in precious cam
psgns in which they were elected.
These gentlemen will find their
ticket running in opposition 70 the
regularly nominated Democratic
ticket. They will find themselves af-
filiated with a political element that
has distinguished Itself ln tho rast

chiefly because of lta defeats. Mir.

PUTTING SOUL
IN BUSINESS
BY DR.. WILLIAM A. M'KEEvER
professor in the University of Kan
sas and an Authority on
Child Training.)

In Oklahoma City | have found Il
business college where commercial
training and religion are wrought
into the course intended to train
young people for Il career. The one
hundred students present were still
in the impressionahle age. So the
days work was begun with Scrip
ture reading and prayer.
1t is the proprietors idea that re-
liEiOus training is necessary to sta
billie the business career of the
Young people and that it is the best
way quickly and inoffensively to give
them a sober view of their life work.
There is u real soul in business, and
II you will seek 1t early you will find
II, he thinks
Now, ! wish earnestly to commend
this idea wherever young people are
being trained for employment in the
commercial world. Since it is con-
stantly my pleasure to meet with
many of the business mems clubs Of
the cities. | find men everywhere
reaching out for something higher
than mere loss-aud gain commercial
transactions
They are searching earnestly for
the soul of business and we must all
Join them in an effort to find 1t. The
organization Of mon in the form OF
noon lunch clubs like the Rotarians,
Kiwanians, Lions has perhaps ac-
CenWated the very noticeable trend
Of commercial enterprise toward Il
more human and more spiritual
definition.
But the best way to make progress
In taking the alleged selfishness and
the sharp. inhuman practices out of
our standard business transactions Is
10 train the onCominE generation Of
youth to prepare to enter the COM
merCial world AS a possible place of
clean. human relationships and Of
positive spiritual significance. The
ancient patriarch titled tho soil, tend
cd his nocks and transacted all nee
essary business as conscious ser
want Of the Lord. Committed as he
was devotedly ~ his calling as a
sacred trust, he was the more as
sured of success.
Now, | see everywhere this ten-
dency of business e. find more rev.
erent Justification for it's practices,
and | look forward with firm conf
dcncc to its slow but certain upward
transformation. But urge again
that 1t is altogether practicable to
train young people to g. reverently
to their carefully chosen places in
the commercial world and 50 learn
how TO add force and honest appn-
cation to their Individual perform
nnccs there and 10 enjoy sense OF
being called OF the Lord"
Not merely preaching the gospel
but also every other honest business
may be made sacred calling" IL

accept the attentions Of a man even
If she has no intention Of marrying
him. A friendship between young
man and young woman Is a splendid
thing and enriches the life of both.
Sometimes one cares too much and 10
hurt when the friendship ceases, but
rarely permanently. I do not believe
a girl should go with a boy or man
just for the sake of going, but If she
likes him as a friend it is all right.
She should not assume that his atten-
tons are serious unless he says some
thing that gives her reason to know
definitely. Then she should be per-
fectly frank and tell him that she does
not and can not love him. She Should
offer to be his friend and say that he
must not think Of her in any other
way.

Olive oil would be apt to cause a

JUST LIKE KANSAS
ArmenianS Have Just as Few
Reds Among Them.
But British Took Ammunition
So They Are Helpless.

New York. May 22.-There are
about as many Bolshevists in Armenia
as there are in Kansas, according to
Capt. Paxton Hibben, Field Artillery
Reserve Corps, who has just returned
from Transcaucasia, where he was on
duty with the American military mis-
sion.
Ninety per cent of the population
of the Republic of Armenia are small
farmers" Capt. Hibben declared.
They have been defending them
selves without assistance from any
body for the past two years, first
against the Turks, then against the
Georgians, then against the Tartars
of Azerbaidjan. Now the Red Army
has invaded Transeaucasia in force
and the Armenian Republic has made
peace with it, precisely as Finland and
Esthonia have made peace with
Soviet Russia. But it does not mean
Bolsheviki' or anything like it.
THE Armenians- have an army of
10000 men, armed with old Russian
LebeI rifles. But they have no ammu-
milton with which to fight, as the
British during their occupation of
Transcaucasia seized all the ammuni-
ton stored in the Armenian fortress
of Kars and the great military store
house of AleXandropol, and shipped it
to Russia for the use of the Denikin
army.
ut is now in the hands of the Boil
shevists, and the Armenians have no
ammunition with which to defend
themselves. Naturally, they have been
forced to make peace on the best
terms they could GET
