Poindexter Urges
Great Lakes Get
Atlantic Outlet

Detroit, Mich, July 24.-Building OF
direct route to the sea from the
Great Lakes was urged as a necessity
to move the products of the west in a
telegram from Senator Miles Poindex-
ter of Washington, read Friday before
the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tide
water congress. The senator was un-
able to attend.
THE increase in prosperity and
/, population that would result through
provision of such a waterway con-
nectlon fail to be of benefit to all of
the United Statesa nd Canada" Sem
ator PoindeXter said. Increased
transportation facilities is one of the
greatest needs of the west Both dur
ing and since the war the inability to
move its products expeditiously has
worked as handicap to western
states. Production on the farms has
been lessened, Pacific coast lumber
mills have been shut down and cattle
have died on western ranges because
cars could not be obtained to ship
them to market or bring food to them.
Continuation of these conditions
will have a profound effect upon our
social, economic and political life. We
cannot affordto overlook any oppor-
tunity to better our national condition.
Relief lies at hand if we care to take
of it,"

twins, and looking just alike they al
ways tried to do and say the same
things.
Johnnie Green did not tell them
their mistake. With an odd smile ht
slid aside one of the glass doors OF
the Carpenters prison and picking the
frightened captive up with his fingers
"Oh' cried the two guests. Won't
he sting you?"
"Naw' said Johnny Green scornful-
ly. HE won't sting me. He knows me
For a few moments the two o.,
boys--for that is what they were
for few moments they watched John
ME Green eXpectantly. They seemed
to be waiting for something. And they
were. They were waiting for Johnnie
Green to be stung.
But nothing of the sort happened.
And soon one of them said:
Il wish had a Bumblebee."
80 do I!' said the other.
do you?" asked Johnnie Green.
"Well,--I'll tell you what I'll do-I'll
give you each a honey box. And may
be you can catch some bumbebees, if
you want to-"
OF course, the twins were delighted
And Johnnie Green appeared pleased
too. Perhaps he should have told them
that his pet was not bumblebee at
all-but a carpenter bee-and that
carpenter bees never sting people.
But Johnnie Green did not always
do just exactly as he ought to have
done.

The Prisoner.

him. And then the poor fellow came
and stood on the other side OF the
glass barrier, as near Buster as he
could get.
"why don't you come on out?" Bus
ter asked.
"How can y said the Carpenter
Don't you see that I'm prisoner
Eyes. Bpt why don't you cut your
way out?" Buster asked him.
'Well, I've tried" said the Carpen-
ter confessed. But this glass is so
hard that / can't even dent it,
But you're a Northumberland a
glass worker!" exclaimed Buster Bum
blebee. "And if you're as skillful as
people say you are, you ought to be
able to bore a hole through one of the
wooden ends of your prison.
At that suggestion the Carpenter
looked decidedly happier.
"Thats sol" he exclaimed. Il wish
had thought of that before"
OF course it was Buster that thought
of the plan, then; but he didn't say so
to the Carpenter. Instead, Buster
shouted through the glass:
Get to work at once! And I'll wait
for you"
SO the Carpenter began to cut away
at an end of the honey box. But un-
luckily for him, he had hardly begun
his task when Johnny Green came
dancing out upon the porch, followed
by two strange boys.
Here he isl" cried Johnnie, kneel-
ing beside the Carpenters prison. See
him. Do you know what he is?"
The strange boys did not wear ov-
erals, like Johnny Green. But they did
not seem to mind that. They knelt
right down beside him in their spick
and-span velvet suits and stared cur
ously at the Carpenter.
Hes a bumblebeen' one of them
exclaimed. And the other echoed i'm
Hes a bumblebee!" Being
