both escaped from the Sileslan
question was Enthusiastically
clever.
LLOYD George had to insist on
Germany's right to her ancient ter
ritory. BRAND had to oppose Ger
many's just claim or be overthrow
by the militarists at home. Both
made the necessary speeches out OF
! the window for home consumption.
Then they referred the matter to
the Council of the League of Ma
tons.
The Council of the League of
Nations will sustain Germany by
the votes of England, japan and
Italy against France. That is
certainty.
Lloyd George gets what he wants.
BRAND stays in pawn, Germany OBJ
tains justice, and we can all be
quite certain that well-rehearsed
program, agreed upon privately,
was put through with CELEBRITY and
without hitch. Such is diplomacy.
The Presidents decision to be
represented by the Secretary OF
State and to have the Senate repre-
sented at the conference in Wash
ington shows the good sense and
modesty which are his striking
characteristics.
1t is tragedy that Woodrow
Wilson did not and could not exer-
else equal modesty and good sense
when the Peace Conference was in
preparation. Had he stayed at home
he would have achieved most of his
objects and saved the world from
most of the Affections that have
befallen it during the past three
years.
The course followed by President
Harding will be applauded all over
the country.
The decision of Lenin to abandon
communism for modified State So
cialism is a momentous event in
history.
By this bold stroke Lenin puts
an end to the hopes Of the Czarist
reactionaries, wins the peasants
support and makes the Soviet Gov
eminent stable. The net result will
be the final establishment of repub-
lican institutions in Russia and the
rapid growth of that great people
in prosperity and power.
The Russian Revolution, so far,
has faithfully paralleled the French,
Revolution, and there is no reason
to doubt that it will continue to re-
peat the course Of that other great
and beneficent revolt against despo-
tism and the alliances which de-
posed despotism was then able to
make with England, Austria, Prus-
STA and Russia.
Yet a few years and Russia, re-
generated and made free by the
leadership of Nikolai Lenin, will be
the greatest single Power in Europe
and the friendly rival of our own
greatness in the world.
If Russia is treated with good
sense and humanity, and France
and Poland behave themselves in a
reasonable manner, this will be a
very prosperous year for our farm
ers. And nobody ever saw, or ever
will see, any country prosper until
its farmers prospered.
Man does not live by bread alone,
but it is the most essential necessity
of his sojourn here on earth.

to finance and promote agricultural
exports, is fine legislation and

'T guess Bubby Bully likes them,
too" chuckled Judge Sense.
At that Judge Sense began 10 stretch
toward the apples. And he stretched
and stretched 50 hard that his arm be-
gan TO grow. And it grew and grew
so fast that It became long enough TO
reach into the tree and pick the three
red apples.
But Judge Sense didn't give the ap-
pies to Jack and Janet. He ran on
until he came to the wall Of the Myste-
rious Garden. Against this wall he
placed q ladder. He climbed to the top
Of the wall and tied the stems Of the
three apples to maple tree branch
that overhung the street outside. This
done, he fastened long string to the
branch and, after letting down the lad
der on the street side Of the wall, he hid
himself In another tree near BY.
Bobby Bouncer showed Jack and Ja.
which they could see without being seen.
As they looked through It they saw
Bubby Bully coming along the street.
In one hand he carried Isabelle Marie,
the doll, holding her by her leg. In the
other hand he carried Captain Brave,
the toy soldier. It was plain that he
was teasing the poor little girl and poor
little boy who owned the doll and SOL
dier BY running away with them.
Bubby Bully saw the three apples
hanging in the tree.
Ripe red apples! ~ cried Bubby
Bully, and he threw Isabelle Marie into
the tree trying to knock the apples
down. Isabelle Marie few over the
garden wall and came down ker -plunk
on Bobby Bouncer. That saved lea
belle Marie from being hurt, but It
knocked the breath out OF Bobby
Bouncer.
Bubby Bully now saw the ladder
against the wall. Bubby Bully laughed
when he saw the ladder, and up he went
TO the top OF the wall. But when he
got to the top Of the wall he found that
the apples, instead Of hanging over the
wall on the outside, were just beyond
bis reach inside the garden. This was
because. Judge Sense slyly had pulled
IN the branch by the string tied to 1t.
Bubby stretched far to reach the ap-
ples--so far. indeed, that his foot
slipped. He grasped at a branch, but
It broke In his hand, and down he
plunged into the Mysterious Garden.
"Ho Ho! My apple -baited trap
worked ~ laughed Judge Sense. my
wits have won because Bubby Bully
didn't use his wits. II he had, they
would have told him ripe red apples do
not grow on maple trees"
(After the toys get Bubby Bully into
the Mysterious Garden, they find he is
as hard for them to handle as q giant
would be, as will be told tomorrow.)

Babby Bully hurts and harms the
toys BY treating them roughly and
breaking them. Jack and Janet 90

Garden, there to ask Judge Sense to

says he tciH trap Bubbv Bully.
CHAPTER III
Trapping Bubby Bully
TUDGE SENSE had said he was
q going to trap Bubby Bully 30 he could
judge the bad boy for his mean acts
against the toys. AS Judge Sense was
no larger than the toys themselves and
as Bubby Bully was q big lad dozens
Of times larger than the toys, Jack and
Janet wondered how the Judge" would
catch him.
"A boy has wits enough not to get
into a trap" argued Jack. "It may be
easy to trap birds, or mice, or rabbits,
but don't see how you are going to
tray Bubby Bully"
Judge Sense smiled Mt Jack. Then
he pointed at three ripe red apples that
hung in a tree above them.
do you like appies?" he asked, as
If changing the subject.
, Eyes, like apples, and so does ia
net" answered Jack. for the sight of
the three apples made him hungry.
