WOULD PREVENT
DUTY ON LUMBER

st. Paul. Jan. 2S.-Resolutions re-
ouesting that members in congress
representing Minnesota do all in their
power to prevent the imposing of a
duty or tariff on Jumper n lumber
products shipped into the United
States were offered by the Minnesota
Farm Bureau Federation today.
Imposing a tariff on lumber i'm
ports from, Canada is contrary to tho
best interests of American farmers
and home makers. L. E. Potter, presi-
dent of the Minnesota federation.
said. With prices of building material
almost prohfbitivelt,, the small home
builder. the federation is opposed to
any move that would ten to incfeast
the costs of lumber.
BY combining to American sources
the purchasers of lumber for Ameri-
can consumption, imposition of a
tariff on Canadian lunoer also would
tend to more rapid destruction of for

Potter said.

PREDICTS RETURN TO
NORMAL CONDITIONS
EARLY THIS SPRING

Boston. Mass, Jan. ga return
to normal business conditions by April
or May was predicted hv Prof. Chas.
j. Bullock, chairman of the committee
on economic research at Harvard
university in an address to tho Asso-
ciated Savings Trust companies Of
Massachusetts last night.
I'VE would have suffered the worst
panic in history" he said, but for
two factors. for the first time Europe
was our debtor to the extent of fifteen
or twenty billions; and we had our
federal reserve system. Wholesale
prices never fell so fast nor so far
in SO brief a period as now We
now appear to be in the last phase;
liquidation of retail prices and labor.

WHY BATS ARE T.

Every one of the Bats thought it
very strange that they could not get
in touch with Mr.. Beetle.
"This must be a very wonderful!
King" said Reddy the Bat. That
Beetle is there but no n can touch
him. I think he must be a spirit or
something for no one seems to do
him any harm. He just clings to
the King and is as peaceful as though
there was not an enemy about. 1
can't understand it, l can't"
Well, none of the Bats could I'M
derstand it. OF our they could
not understand how Old Man Expert
ence had given the King Of the For
est the power to do SO many things.
But Tinker Bob understood all about
it and, what is more, he wasn't go
ing to tell anyone else about it.
Tinker was interested in these Bats
for he had never seen any other crea-
ture hat looked just like them. Said
he to Reddy: Come here till l talk
to, you a bit" Now Reddy was just
wanted to get close to where that
Beetle was seated on the Kings
shoulder. "Tell me, what makes your
headEso red Have o been paint
ing it with something or is it just
n%atural?" asked Tinker.
81 don't know what Red is, but j
know that no one has been painting
around here" Now that was funny
to think that he didn't know what
Red was. But that is the way with
t, the Forest Creatures, you never car
tell,
RED Is a color and it is the colo,
of your head, but what I want , tc
know is how did. 1t get to be red, OF
was 1t always red !"
Reddy didn't know so he called the
leader OF. the tribe and the Kinf
found out. II will tell you" said he
"It happened this way. You see,
once upon a time there lived a Ba'
as big as a barn and he lived in thi'

Americanization was the most

year. Everybody was reading about
