The next letter that Nick read
was from Scramble Squirrel. Here's
what he said;
Dear Mr. Sprinklc-BIow: Please
don't send any gain for while Sa-
mantha and ! have used up the store
Of nuts and acorns that we put away
m our tree pantry for the winter and
now we are using the ones we stored
away underground. As it will likely
be some time before nuts and acorns
are ripe again (for dear knows the
leaves on the trees where they grow
aren't even out YETI Would you mind
keeping the weather good and dry
so they won't spoil? If they are kept
in dry place they keep finely, but
there's nothing spiols EN- Quicker
than damp sogEy weather.
"Nother thing! We've Just come
home from Scrub-Up Land where we
got spring cleaned and we're clean
as new grass. We don't like mud
and we get dreadfully musscd up dig
ging in our ground pantry after a
damp spell So if you'll lust kindly
send dry weather, we'll feel greatly
obliged
Yours in hopes.

DR.. BARTON'S
DAILY LETTER
DEFEAT AND VICTORY
By DR.. William E. barron

Bunker Hill still stands with her
granite monument, lust where Dan
lei Webster left it when he delivered
the great Grafton WIicn he had COM
mItted to memory while fishing at
Marshfieid.
Bunker Hill is one of the glorious
lost causes. Whoever fortified that
hlIl instead ci the one nearer Charles
town Neck, committed d notable mil
itary blundel, and gave to his new
country something new to glory
about.
Bunker Hill reminds US not Of the
wisdom Of military leaders, but of
the stalwart courage Of the men who
en- June II, ITS, stood behind their
hastily erected rcdoubt with Putnam,
or behind the rail fence with Stark,
and proved themselves soldiers.
WAC Won?
The fighting was mostly at the
fence The hay had been cut and
was lying in windows, and the men
gathered it and stuffed it between
the fence rails. Raw troops do not
object TO risking their heads if their
legs are covered. hay is not an in
vulnerable protection against bullets,
but it helps the minds Of the men
who are sheltered by it.
The battle Of Bunker Hill is re
corded as a British victory; but it did
more to discourage the yictors and
more to put heart into the men who
were defeated than any contempor-
airy historian could have imagined.
May Mean Success.
It is not the only time in human
history that defeats have been turned
into victories.
All the time old Peter the Great
was being whipped he contemplated
his defeats with pleasure, because
lee knew he was learning how whip

ping was accomplished. 1t was no
long till he learned, and then Rus
STA began to be nation.
There are lessons enough in daily
life, if one cares for them The mora
value of defeat in business or ambi
tion depends upon the stuff that i;
in the man defeated.
Most successful men have monu.
ments erected in grateful memory
of the Bunker Hills where they were
defeated, and learned how to sue
coed.
That is the principle value of de
fcats; they have in them the seeds
Of subsequent victories.

WANT HARDING
 TO TAKE HAND
 IN TARIFF JAW
President Urged to Inform Congress What to Do at
 Its Regular Session

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30 - Presi- dent Harding has been urged to take strong stand in his address to con gress next week in behalf of pending tariff legislation. Confidence was evidenced among many congressional leaders today that the power of the executive would be put behind the bill now in the senate finance com mittee.
 The suggestion was said to have been made to Harding that he recon mend in the interest of speedy dis position of the measure, elimination of the American valuation plan from the house bill and the writing of a tariff law on the basis of the old meth od of invoice prices. He was under stood to have been urged to ask con- gress then to include ppyision em- towering the executive to apply the American valuation basis of assessing duties where, after surveys. it IS shown. added protection is needed.
 Another suggestion reported to have been given to Harding was that the house bill provisions regarding anti-dumping be stricken out and a law. described as "having teeth be enacted supplementary to the tariff.
 Some Republican members of the senate finance committee declared to- day that even with a call by the pres ident for more speed, there could hardly be a tariff law before March One declared it would be May before the bill became a law.

Agriculture Bloc
 Opposes Sale Tax
 For Soldier Bonus
Willing to Support Measure But in Favor of Some Other
 Levy For Raising Funds

WASHINGTON. Nov. 30. Repre- sentative Dickinson. Republican of Iowa, issued warning tonight that the house agricultural bloc was pre- pared to kill any plan for adoption of a sales tax as means of raising rev enue to pay the soldiers bonus. The bloc, he said, would place nothing in the way of the bonus measure itself, but would content itself with defeat ing efforts to raise the money by the sales tax. He declared sufficient votes were on hand to eliminate the tax if it were attached to the bonus bill.
 The bloc leaders have half dozen forms of taxes which they will offer as means of raising the needed funds for bonus. according to Dickinson He mentioned among these taxes on gifts, liquor inheritance and commun ity property.
 His warning aroused comment among house members, some holding it was step toward ending house ac tion by special rule which has limit ed debate and it has been charged permitted few and sometimes nc changes in measures as brought in.

WORKING RULES

 The principle of the open shop es- tablished by the new ru;es," a stace- ment by board members said, will in fact, be more theoretical than practi- cal at the present time, since large majority of the railroad shops are unionized and the existing unions are recognized by the baord and Dy the transportation act as representative of the majority.
 Most of the older working rules, sanctioned by the experience of years, are preserved in full effect. Many of the more rigid rules, however were considerably relaxed in favor of the reads, although the recognized rights ot the men are fully protected and the principle of collective bargaining and union recognition is retained, as contemplated: by the transpor5asion act.'
 Controversy Is Old

After several months of testimony, the rules were referred back to tie InuIvlduai reads with instructions to ncsUIiaJe such new ruIes as they could with their employees to replace the federal government rules.
 Numerous rules were thus agreed , upon lnulvluual roaQS, ut on no road vas it possible to draft an entire new set. The rules disagreeu upon we.
