WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE
Small Boy Satified That the Bill for
His Three Days Fun Was Not
Exorbtant.

At last little Freddy was allowed to
visit grandpa all alone. They were
great friends, and had long waited for
the great day.
Freddy had the time of his life.
Grandpa saw that he wanted for
nothing. The small boy ate more
cream buns in those three days than
he would otherwise have done in three
years. while his pockets bulged all the
time with candies.
But there comes an end to every
thing, and Freddy went home again,
pale yellow of complexion, and languid
and feverish. Mother promptly sent
for the doctor, who ordered him to
bed, and sent him some very unpleas-
ant but doubtless healing medicine.
Grandpa came next day and was
permitted to creep upstairs to see how
the sufferer was faring. He found the
small boy lying wan and pale on his
inflow. but received a watery smile as
q welcome.
"Oh, grandpa" said the weak little
voice. "rve been awfully bad-but 1T

Tit has not reached a point of desti- tuition that warrants refusal to buy happiness and cheerfulness for this mass of children"
 Today even the most destitute of our children in America are rich in comparison with millions of children of the poverty stricken nations of Eu- rope. General Pershing stated, who appeal to us for help. It seems to me that if there ever was a time in the his- tory of the world when human sym pathies should be/stirred to activity, it is during this after-war- period'
 General Pershing, continuing, spoke in favor of world disarmament.
 The world doesn't seem to learn from experience'' he said. It would appear that the lessons of the past six years should be enough to convince everybody of the danger of nations strding up and down the earth armed to the teeth. But no one nation can reduce armaments unless all do. Isn't it time for an awakening among en- frightened peoples to the end that the tional agreement which would not only relieve the world of this terrible if nancial load, but which in itself would be a long step toward the prevention of wars?
 Unless some such move be made we may well ask ourselves whether civil ization does really reach point where it begins to destroy itself-and whether we are thus doomed to go headlong down through destructive war to dark ness and barbarism"

 Behind the bafflng incident is believed to lie q story of lawlessness and perhaps violence which if revealed would make a thrilling story.

Falkenberg stated that the advertisement inserted in the Monroe Journal by Mr. Helton, advising owne~s of the money to come forward and estab- fish their claim, has never received an answer, and it is believed that the owners will not be found
