 "Babbsie's afwaid of de bee = afwaid of it's stinc - Babbsie's afwaid de sticker will stick her.
 And I would stand shaking in terror I couldn't explain The furry
 coat, the little beady eyes, the hor- rible possibilities of the sting = they were not all. The bee filled
 my soul with shrinking fear of all the unknowable, cruel things of
 life.
 Then FatheR Andrew Hyland, who
 had married my little mother when
 I was only a wee thing, and who
 had adopted me as his own, would take me gravely by the hand and say:
 '"The bee won't touch you Bajbb- sic. It's probably gone now, but I shall walk to school with my little
 girl.''
 How many mornings he did that;
 How many mornings I stifled my fears because I wanted to show my faith in dear Father Andrew. But would shudder until we were well past the gate and the rose arbor that sheltered so many malicious enemiesl That terror had never left me. It grew I grew to womanhood. But now with the commonplace prick of reality the ugly fears I had conjured up for myself vanished.
 Does it hurt, dear? I can't bear to have you sufferI'' whispered Jim. 'Iaddie, dear, what hurts isn't the pain - it's the way I've always been SO afraid" -
 I was ashamed to tell my story to my war hero. But I stumbled through it, and Jim - didn't laugh.
 Instead he gathered me tenderly into his arms and said: Anne, every one of us has a bee in our 1ives-sorne terror, some fear. Many persons have ugly 1 dreads that spoil their lives. Your
 fear is gone now. My poor little frightened sweetheart! Shan't ] take you to a doctor? I don't want
 the finger to hurt You l aren't frightened now, are you 1 dear? I'll throw out the flowers - unless you want to hold them and conquer the old dread forever" This was exactly what did want - and no doctor! I glorded in
 the ache of my finger There
 might be another bee on the flow CTS, but what of it? I was free ot
 my fear. And Jim hadn't laughed at me-he understood!

 Judge Wear of Mena made politi- cal talk to the people here last Satur- day. He represents the peoples party of Polk county and he made plain that we need good men to fill the various offices Of our county and state. He doesn't pretend to be progressive and says it takes brains to be progressive but anyone can be a knocker Judge wants men to think and be active. Election will soon be here and at the ballot box is the place to right all wrong in the running of our county and state. He urges every man who wants a change in the running of our government, making our laws and en- forcing our laws, to be at the prima- ries and see that we get the best men to fill these places, nominate a good man then elect him. This is a free country and the best country in the world, but is going through a crisis since the war closed, some mistakes have been made and there is dissatis- faction. The labor question needs at tention. High cost of living must be adjusted and 1t is going to take men with brains to do this, men who have ability and can lead the people in the right.

WORLD SHORTAGE OF WHEAT.
And increased Demand Is Indicated
 For This Year.

Washington, April 20.-Indication oi a worldwide shortage of wheat this year and a worldwide increase in demand was reported today by the American agricultural trade commis- sioner at London, who said bread was selling in England at what was gener- ally considered the highest price the workingman would tolerate without grave disorders. With Russia still in a chaotic state, there is little to be ex- pected from that country in the way of wheat exports and Europe naturally turns to the United States, Canada, Australia, India and Argentina
 Some Europen countries will be compelled to import much larger quan- titles of wheat than in pre-war times, provided they are able to arrange sat isfactory credits, the report said. Con flicting reports in London from Rus sia place wheat available for export at 35 million to 40 million bushels, but railroad equipment is not sufficient to move any large quantity. England and other European countries will have to depend on the United States, Canada ands other wheat exporting nations.

day should be charged to American
headquarters" Brig. Gen. Fox Conner,
member of General Pershing's staff

General Sherburne's idea of the war ap-
peared to coincide with that held by
many other persons. namely, that "the
war ended before it ended"
marshal Foch had issued orders
that all attacks already begun should
be pressed on that day. The allies
could not afford to take any chances
We were placing our armies in the
best possible position in the event
Germany failed to sign.
''As for the attack in which Gem
eral Sherburne and the Ninety-second
division, to which he was attached,
participated. the attack was launched
at 5 a. m, November IL, just one houy
before American general headquar-

Plans for this work, Mr. Foster adj
ded, have already been formed and
include meetings in steel towns, publ
cation of a bulletin with circulation
of l50, 600 weekly, and personal can

said it had its inception at st. Paul in

organize the steel trades All prelim-
mary work was completed ana the

states were affected and $4,000 men

Companies Not Surprised.
steel company executives said they
were not surprised that the strike had
been called off. as the strikers had
been drifting back to work for several
months. Many mills, it was added,
had long ago been able to operate fun
time with fun forces, the principal
trouble being the lack of common Ia
Tor, which formed the backbone OF
the strike.

his resignation as secretary-treasurer
of the strike committee and said he
would be succeeded by j, c. Brown OF
