As the result of recent observations in

There are two important political

Net Cost to U. S. Cut Down

Total expenditures of the United
states committee on public informa-
ton which functioned during the
war under direction of George Creel
were SS,245.2i according TO a report
just filed with the United States Sen
ate by the Council of National De-

lotment to it from President Wilson
of $3.50. 600 from funds placed in
his hands for use for national secur-

that the report of the National De-

Just about the time the Merry Little

Peter Rabbit the morning after his
unsuccessful effort TO find him, the
lost little son of Peter started out
to get his breakfast. He felt very
much better able to take care of
himself now. In fact. he felt that he
had learned so much that there really
was little more to be learned. He
wasn't afraid. He was sure that as
long as he never once forgot to keep

him.
So he ventured out to the nearest
patch of sweet clover, and there he
ate his breakfast in great content
Just as he was nearly through he
espied a patch of sweet clover a little
farther on the Green Meadows. 1t
looked SO tempting that he decided
he must have a bite or two from it.
First he sat up ami carefully looked

he hadn't forgotten Black Pussy and

Everything seemed safe and the lit

as good as he thought it would. and
he ate until he could eat no more

with the Hungarian government for the

Both Austria and Hungary are natur-

nine-tenths royalist. Admiral Horthy' $
administration is only temporary.

while there apparently has been no

VI. Benes in asserting that Slovakia

As Italy fears an Austrian reSur-

posing the Danube confederation in
every possible way. the chances for
its realization for the present appear
exceedingly slender. Such. however,

We are willing to work twelve or

loafs must answer to the factory

Employers have warned business
men not to sell materials to the oc-

arrange for financing the enterprise.
All this is evidence of a new develop

from the socialists. The occupation of

bigger than Reddy Fox or Old Mar
Coyote. and it was making the strange
sound that had awakened him. This
stranger would put his nose to the
ground and sniff, and it was this
shifting that made the queer noise.
Suddenly the stranger lifted his
head. opened his great mouth and
roared. At least that dreadful sound
was like a roar to the little Rabbit.
Then the stranger put his nose to the
ground again and started toward the
old stone wall at the very place
where the little Rabbit was sitting.
Every two or three steps the dread
full stranger lifted his head and roar
ed. He began to run. still keeping
his nose to the ground. and he was
running straight toward the little
Rabbit.
That little Rabbit almost turned a
back somersault in his haste to get
down to his hiding place under the
old wall He heard the stranger
scramble up on the stones of the old
wall and then sniff and sniff at the
opening between the stones through
which he had so hastily scrambled
to safety Then that awful stranger
began to try to pull away the stones.
He was excited. He wasNterribly ex-

roar but a bark. a very excited bark.
He barked and barked as fast as he
could make his tongue go. stopping
only to sniff once in a while.

any one but that innocent little Rab-
bit would have known that. But he
