"Oh, moi" answered the musk
rat lady housekeeper. But Mrs.
Wibblewobble, Aunt Lettie and I
and some other animal ladies are
looking after some poor mice fam
lilies in these woods, but we have
no money left"

Canadian wheat. Tho fact was
noted that cash premiums showed
an advance at the Gulf of Mexico
and at Minneapolis and Winnipeg
as well. Besides. mills We're cred
tied with having bought futures
here.
Assertions that foreigners were
successful in acquiring 1900, 000
bushels in Argentine today at 31ac
to &c under the quotations current
in America failed to make much
impression as a bear factor. Mean
while, continued references to
green bugs in the southwest served
to pit more or less attention to pos
,slbilities of crop scare.
Corn and oats sympathized with
the wheat advance. Receipts We're
relatively small. Provisions were
weakened by asbreak in hog values.

BLAMED If THEY DO AND BLAMED II THEY
DON'T

According to an article copyrighted by the Public
Ledger company, and published in recent issue of
the Ell Paso Herald American business who are
contemplating tour of Mexico have been warned
against Mexican hospitality which. it is charged, is
merely camouflage to give foreigners unduly
favorable impression of the southern republic.
The warning has been issued by the newly
formed American Association of Mexico of which W.
F. Buckley is chairman The article says that Buck
ley has the warm support of Albert Bacon Fall,
retary of the interior
During the Carranza administration, interven-
tionists constantly complained that Americans were
inhospitably treated in Mexico.
Now that the regime is giving nationals
a cordial reception, Americans are being warned"
We imagine that a Mexican who wants to act
decently toward American must feel very much as
the persons accused of witchcraft have felt in
the oden days: If the accused foated when thrown
into a pool of water, he was declared guilty and
burned at the stake; if he drowned, however, he
was adjudged innocent, and given a decent
bural-provided his body recovered!
Even though the Mexcans belong to a different
race from ours. let us give them fighting chance
to make good. Let us not be too quick to put an
evil Interpretation everything they do, unless the
facts justify it.
In other words, let us practice some of that fair
play for which we are admired all over the civilized
world. We do not have to love the Mexcans to be
just to them.

clearly designed to chill relations with a neigh

to accompany me. l wanted no
witness to any humiliating scenes.
All went very we'll until | reach
ed the butcher. My excuses had
been very plausible, and I was be-
ginning to feel that matters were
not so bad after all. But the butch
er proved obdurate. The salmon
and the SQUAD had made his bill
very large, and he needed the
money, At least he claimed that he'
did.
'I'll give you until the fifth Mrs.
Randall" he told me, but l must
have the entire bill then. l hope
you understand that l do not want
to be harsh; but your bill has not
been cleaned up for months, and
| must refuse to let you have any
thing more until it has been"
Here was another complication.
l had used all the money | had
except the little I planned to give
the butcher. Now that he refused
to let me have any meat until 1
paid him; why l should have to
use that little and pay cash.
Close Figuring
At first l was angry, and thought
I'd go somewhere else for my meat
for dinner. Then came the thought:
Perhaps if l buy of him it may
make him easier on me if / can't
get him all his money. So l bought
and paid for small steak.
THANK you Mrs. Randall" he
said, as l gave him the money and
the rather hard look he had had in
his eyes when he talked to me, l

But how in the world was / to

CHAPTER LXXN-

CHAPTER LXXV.
The morning Of the first of De-
cember l hurried down stairs so
that | could get the mail before
Tom saw it. OF course l left few
envelopes lying beside my plate;
but the majority of them l hid.
He happened to be in a hurry
that morning; so didn't even men
ton bills or anything else hardly.
But as soon as l had finished my
breakfast l took the formidable pile
and went into my room with them.
If | had been worried before, |
was absolutely frightened now. My
dinner had cost me nearly double
what / thought it would; and that
without counting the butter and
condiments used in cooking. Tom
expected me to set the table and
pay Norah on fifteen dollars a
week. He paid the rent. Then he
gave me ten dollars a week for the
lights, gas, and my clothes. That
left him about forty which he used
for carfare, his lunches, his cloth
es and our amusements. 1t can
easily be seen that only by the
closet economy could we keen out
OF debt while paying so heavy a
rent for our apartment.
/ figured everything and found
that aside from my clothes and the
florists bill, l owed about one
hundred and five dollars, more
than my allowance. That may not

Your money is ready for Won.

And it's natural to love the thing
we fight for and into which we
put our best effort. The pioneer
found a lot more joy in his rude
fireside than the millionaire of to-
day finds in his ready made COM
forts.
In other words, while the dollar
has been shrinking in these past
few years, the housekeeper has
been developing. She has cast
away her boudoir cap and donned
a sweeping cap. She has come to
the realization that she must fight
for her home-fight with the wea-
pons of economy and an honest
days work.
And she has found the fighting
fun. She has learned the thrill of
being able to put few dollars in
the savings bank instead of giving
1t to n cook who demanded a high
er wage when the one she was
receiving was already generously
high.
ITS funny how ones viewpoint
changes" wrote a friend of mine
not long ago---a woman who up to
a year ago had never been without
a maid--"I used to consider myself
blest because | had such a treas
ure' as my maid Annie; now that
Annie has left me, and l have be-
gun to take an interest in cooking
and marketing and working out
financial shortcuts and economies,
l consider myself blest because
have the health to do my own
work! | feel so sorry for women
who haven't the strength to roll up
their sleeves and do their own
housework; they must feel like a
sailor who has his hands bound and
who sees his ship sinking and yet
can do nothing to save it."
This is the spirit of our ances-
tors. 1t is the spirit of them that
broke ground and dreamed big
dreams of the future. The old say
ing that Trouble either makes or
breaks" is not one that will make
the housewife of today hang her
head; for the trial-the high cost
of everything made" her.
She has had the courage to face it
and dominate it.
And, in thus conquering her
problem, she has found the deepest
kind of satisfaction. One can't de-
posit without drawing. And Mrs.
Housekeeper of today is drawing
steadily.

"Ha! | know a good way!" cried
Uncle Wiggily. Have a rummage
sale!"
Whats a rummage sale?" asked
Nurse Jane.
"Oh, you get all your friends to
rummage around in their cellars
and attics and gather up all the
old rubbish and cast-off things
they don't need--old hats, old
books. old gas fixtures, old lamps,
tables. chairs-anything is good for
a rummage sale,
"Then you pile all these things
in some Vacant store and you sell
them to the animal folk who will
come. Almost everybody is glad to
buy something at a rummage sale,
whether they want it or not. In
that way you'll get money for the
poor mice" ..
"Oh, how perfectly splendid!"
cried Nurse Jane. ''Pll get up a
rummage sale at once"
"And I'll give you a lot of my
old things, such as tall silk hats,
to sell" promised Mr.. Longears.
A few days later Nurse Jane and
her animal lady friends got up a
rummage sale in an old store I'm
Gle Wiggily gave them old tall silk
hats, a red, white and blue striped
rheumatism crutch that had q
crack in it, and other things he
didn't need. Grandpa Goosey Gam
der brought an old tin pan he used
to mix his corn meal cakes in, and
some of the animal children
brought few of their old toys.
ooh, We'll make a lot of money
for the poor mice" said Nurse
Jane, as Uncle Wiggily helped her
pile on the counters the different
things to be sold.
Then the animal people began
coming in. Mr.. Whitewash, the
Polar Bear gentleman, bought for
three cents one of Uncle Wiggily's
old silk hats.
1t will do to keep snowballs in, "
said the Bear.
So 1t went on. Things the givers
thought were of no use brought in
little money for the poor mice.
Everything was going on lovely,
and in came Mrs. Wagtail, the goat
lady. She was going to buy some
thing to help at the rummage sale,
and she saw, on the counter, a
reddish fur piece.
"Oh, what lovely bit of fur for
my neck" said the goat lady, look
ing at it. ut is almost new. | don't
see how any one could give that
away for a rummage sale"
Let me look" said Uncle Wig
gily. Maybe it belongs to one of
the helping ladies who laid it
down. 1t would never do to sell
someone's fur neckpiece as rum
mage"
He looked at the big, fluffy piece
OF fur and then, suddenly catching
hold of the end of it Uncle Wig
gily gave a hard yank and cried:
Out you go! You can't fool us
that way!"
And would you ever believe it if
/ didn't tell you? That piece, of fur
was the big, fluffy tail of the sly
old Fox. And the Fox himself was
fast to his tail, and went flying out
of the window when Uncle Wiggily
threw him.
Don't try any more of your
tricks-sneaking in our rummage
sale and pretending your tail is a
fur neckpiece!" said the bunny.
You We're going to bite some one
when you got a chance! Skip
alongw
And the Fox, feeling very foolish
that he had been found out,
skipped along, taking his tail with
him. But the rummage sale was a
great success and the poor mice
mad enough to eat for a year. SO
II the stripes on the peppermint
candy don't get all twisted, and try
to climb up backward, I'll tell you
next about Uncle Wiggily and the

New York, March 16.-For the
first time since early this month the
STOCK market today displayed con-
slstent strength and breadth MANY
popular issues registering gross
gains of one to four points.
Passing of the federal income tax
payment period without disturb
ance to the money market and q
clearer perspective of conditions
bearing on the Industrial situation
accounted chiefly for the more
confident feeling. /
Call money opened at Z per cent
on the exchange but eased to 6 in
the last half of the session, that
rate being shaded by per cent, ac-
ccording to reports, in many private
loans.
Another factor in the recovery
was the small supply of certain
speculative favorites recently under
severe depression.
Bonds participated in the gen
erai advance of stocks, although
much of the moderate activity was
limited to Liberty issues, all Of
which were higher.

RETURNING SPRING.

1t won't be long before we'll hear
The robins calling loud and clear,
And hear the blackbirds on the fence
With all their feathered consequence.
Chattering and sputtcrng over things
And getting mad and locking wings
And bills and feet, the way men act
At times about some simple fact,
Disputing one another there
AS though the Lord on high will care
Which one of them was fed the best
Or which one had the finest nest.
1t won't be long before we'll see
The green returning to the tree,
An over all our lives anew
Win stretch kindly sky of blue;
The tulips will come springing up
To catch the sunbeams in a cup
And everyone of them will say,
"We were not dead, but just away.
We've had our sleep, and now we rise
Fresh messengers from heavenly Skies
To carry beauty down below
For everyone of you to know.
1t won't be long before the streams
Will wake from all their winter dreams,
And start to laugh and race again
Down hillsides and the level plain.
Making their journey to the sea
Most human-like it seems to me;
For we are headed seaward, too
Each morning here we wake anew
To toss and race and move along
Towards that great unnumbered throng
Which went before, and at the end
Our lives with greater lives to blend.
II won't be long before the Spring
Should strengthen faith that's faltering
