ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
Rv Olive Barton Roberts

The twins turned in surprise
when they heard voice urging them
not to follow the gnomes. The gnomes,
you know, had gone in body to hunt
for Kip, the Brownie. But the chill
dren were still more surprised when
they discovered that the voice be-
longed to "a small dwarf entirely
different from the gnomes. This
small person had mischievous twink
ling eyes and snubby nose and
lumpy legs like PIN PIN of the
Brownies. 49,
"Who are you?" asked Nick.
"Sh!" exclaimed the little fellow,
putting his finger over his lips. I'm

"Kip!' cried both twins, too as

his arms. ''If you don't keep quiet

INDISPENSABLE

Everything depends on the farmer and his
prosperity. Cities, at their best are excess bag
gage. Without farms, they'd perish in matter
of days. So, then, watch agriculture. 4
Farm extension work has passed through def
mite eras. First was the county fair, with its
prizes for best yields. Then came farmers insti-
tutes lecturers spreading knowledge. Third was
the movable agricultural school, with experts
travelling like gypsies. Now we are in the era Of
county agents, home demonstration III agents and
boys and girls clubs. 81
A fifth era is starting says C. W. Pugsley,
assistant secretary of agriculture. It will con-
centrate on well-balanced production of crops,
more direct distribution to-, consumers and en-
larged social life for those on the farm. Excel

MELANCHOLY" DAYS
(Florence Borner.)

Why call them melancholy" days?
These days which are with gladness filed,
Whose hours fit past on golden wings,
And leave the hopes Of Spring fulfilled.
Why call them "melancholy days?
The crimson apples, Juicy ripe,
The golden ears of ripened corn,
All these are Natures prototype.
Why call them melancholy" days?
The wild goose jcirclng in the sky,
The crickets, chirping in the fields,
Proclaim that winter time is nigh.
Why call them "melancholy" days?
The gorgeous colors Of The leaves,
The skies of crimson, yellow, gold,
Proclaim that none but mankind Grieves.
Why call them "melanchoy" days?
This resting after toll is DER,
This reaping of the things we've sown,
This gathering of Natures store?
Why call them melancholy" days?
These glorious days of Autumn time,
When Nature takes well-earned rest,
And grazes on her works sublime?

YOU. HE AND SHE

The shifting Of American women, from the
hcme into business, hasSreached the point where
there is one woman to every four men earning
their own living
This is shown by an analysis Of the latest re-
ports covering the census taken in 1920.
With total poulation of 105, ,708,771 men, wo-
men and children the United States has 41,609,-
1872 "gainfully Employed" Of these, 8,469,207
are women
Housewives-the hardest workers of al ARE
not included among those "gainfully employed" :"
Probably this is because most of them work with
out gain, for love.
One of these days, housewives will be on sal
aries, with laws compelling husbands to give their
wives proper percentage of their earnings.
Early settlers of America made their living with
ak, spade, hoe and gun. Time and complex civil
ization have turned human economics into such an
intricate machine that the majority of us have no
clear conception Of our relation to the whole
works.
The cog knows that it must click so many times
g day. 1t doesn't see all the wheels The face of
the watch, with it's moving hands, is the combined
result Of all the wheels. None Of us get good
idea of what the hands are registering. 1t takes
the perspective Of centuries to determine just how
much the watch is deviating from correct time.
Our system of economics is intricate, yet simple.
Think of it in terms of 1O6 people instead of nearly
1O6,O00,O00, and it works like this, in rough
figures:
Thirteen working in manufacturing industries.
Heven growing food and forests.
Four acting as salesmen

MONEY:

Have you $47O in the bank for each member of
your family? If not, you are behind the process
sion. The 30,815 banks in the United States have
combined resources of $49688, ,839, ,000-which is
about $470 for every man, woman and child.
Not much of nest egg, for rich nation.
The total is $3,390, ,269, 900 less than year ago.
That reflects shrinkage in wealth due to price

Ii HUNG CHANG

Did you ever have to grit your teeth, in polite
circles to keep from telling someone exactly what
you thought of him?
Did you ever stop to think what commotion
there would be if everybody spoke their real
thoughts instead Of salving each other?
Civilization turns US into turtles. We live in
hard shells, solitary, keeping most of our real
thought to ourselves. When the turtle head
energies from the shell, it usually engages in arti-
fetal, masked conversation.
If you are too plain about saying what you
Think you apt to be jailed, fired ostracized.
Observing which, most of us are wary, conform
ing to social code based on deception and secrecy.
The most remarkable visitor that ever came to
America was Ii Hung Chang, Chinese diplomat.
When he toured our country in 1896, he was 73
years old, mysterious and inscrutable What espe-
cially delighted and dumbfounded Americans was
that Ii Hung Chang "made no bones" in talking.
He said exactly what he thought.
introduced to woman of prominence, he asked:
"How old are you? Do you quarrel with your hus-
band? Is your bad temper to blame? What
makes those wrinkles in your face? .... . .
To rich man he was apt to say: "How much
money are you worth? Did you get it by working
for it, or did some one else earn it for you?"
This bluntness, and an uncertainty as to whether
or not he was kidding US, made Ii Hung Chang a
sensation when he toured America Is years ago.
He asked his bland questions with child-like sim
plcity that made them inoffensive.
You would think that man of Ii Hung Chang's
bluntness would not get very far in life without
being forcibly side-tracked.
Not So He was financial success personally,
combining diplomatic genius with Rockefeller busi-
ness sagacity.
AS public character, he was still greater sue
cess. He had the cairvoyant gift of looking far
into the future. So did John Hay then our secre-
tary of state. Together they originated, in Sep
tember, 1885, "the open door" policy for China.
You are hearing lot about that policy now, and
troubles that have arisen because it was not lived
up to.
The Chinese at the arms Limitation conference
are having hard shedding. That's because they
lack great leader like Ii Hung Chang. Too bad,
too, that Ii Hung Chang is not living to tell the
conference what the rest of us are only thinking.

BIG RUM PLOT Barred
SCHOONER'S SEIZURE
Seizure Of Boat Outside Three.
mile Limit Justified, Of
ficials Say.

New York. Aug. 3.--Following the
seizure OF Atlantic City N the Henry
l.. Marshall. liquor laden schooner
flying the British flag, she was towed
into this port yesterday and Federal
officials who questioned members OF
the crew announced that they had
evidence OF a gigantic rum-running
plot involving many persons in cities
along the Atlantic coast. Although
declining to reveal the nature of their
evidence, which they characterized as
startling" the Federal agents indicat-
ed that they were in position TO OBJ
tain valuable data regarding vessels
which have been landing liquor.
The Marshall was captured four miles
off the New Jersey resort by the Coast
Guard cutter Seneca, who recently
had been detailed to watch for VIOLA
tions of the Volstead act in this sec
ton. Although the vessel was outside
the three-mile limit the Federal au-
thorities justified their action by say
ing that they had evidence OF con-
spiracy.
Discussing the legal features of the
seizure. which 1t was admitted had no
precedent. Assistant United States
District Attorney Clark said.
"It is our position that we have a
right to seize a vessel outside of the
three mile limit if there is evidence of
a conspiracy to violate our customs
laws and the Voistead act. While the
actual sale of liquor outside of the
three-mile limit is not in itself illegal,
yet if it can be shown that persons
from this country go out there to buy
contraband. then conspiracy has been
established"
No specific complaint has been
lodged against the schooner. which
with her cargo OF 500 cases Of liquor
is being detained by the United States
marshal with armed guards aboard
cook and three seamen are being
held as material witnesses pending
further investigation.
