U. S. OCCUPATION BILL.

Under the terms Of the armistce, Americas
treaty with Germany, and even the discredited
treaty of Versailles the Of this counrys army
Of occupation in the Rhneland. like the cost of the
French, British and Belgian forces of occupation,
was first claim on Germany, taking precedence
over all PREPARATIONS Payment of the others has
been arranged but when the United States sent in
its bill for s241 900 it seems to have made the
finance ministers of the late allies sputter.
Forgetting that the American army has been
kept on the Rhine solely in response to the appeal
of the allies the reparations commissioners pre-
tend to have thought that since America did not
ratify the Versailles treaty the cost of Rhineand
forces was a matter for this country alone; that,
anyway, Washington had made a separate treaty
with Germany, and they never imagined that Amer
lea wanted it to collect its bill along with the bills
for their own armies of occupation.
This attitude is characterized in Washington dis
patches as Uncomfortable surely utterly made
quate description. Germany acknowledged this debt
in the treaty. It was plainly Incorporated in the
armistice. The allied reference to collecting it for
this country overooks the fact that American Rhine
army helped them to collect the cost of their oCcu-
patton.
1t is an unpleasant snarl but it has been re-
ferred to the allied governments by the reparaton
commission which has acknowledged the formal
presentation Of the American claim The amount
is small compared with what the allies owe this
country but the principle is ind sputable.

THE SANTA FEE GRAND JURY.

The Santa Fe grand Jury has considered the
capitol building. Grapevine rumors say that to
consider it all that they did. 1t is said that
no indictments are to be returned against any state
officials.
No one will gasp from establishment. Most
people will say "Of course what else did you ex-

wise political move to repress any indictments the

THE MARKETS


New York, March 17.-For the
third consecutive session trading on
the stock exchange today ran well
beyond the million share mark,
dealings again encompassing an
unusual variety of issues.
The money market was the pri-
mary factor in the further promo
ton of bullish sentiment. On the
exchange call loans fell from 81

in private offerings such accom-
modations were obtainable 1T 2k

Among the more prominent is
sues in today's active operations
were numerous low priced shares
of the railway, industrial and I'M

seemingly based on speculative
possibilities, was attributed to pro-
fessional interests.
The trend for the most part was
decidedly upward but profit taking

duced some of the more substan-
tial gain at the end. Representa-
tive stocks in the railway division

Crucible Steel was only tempo
rarily affected by the omission of
the common dividend. finishing at
a slight gain. but Tidewater Oil
broke sharply on the suspension OF
its dividend and several specialties
were under pressure in anticipation
of such action.
Outstanding features embraced
United States Steel and the inde-
pendent steels. notably Vanadium,
as well as Chandler Motor. Ana

Columbia Gas and allied chemical,

points. Sales amounted - 1.225,-

For Little Ones
UNCLE WIGGILY PLAYS STORE.
BY Howard s. Carts

Once upon a time when Uncle
Wiggily was hopping past the
house where Sammie and Susie
Littietail, the rabbit children.
lived, the bunny gentleman heard
voice calling to him:
Where are you going?" the
voice asked.
"Why. I'm gong to the store for
Nurse Jane" answered Uncle Wig
gily, and then, almost as soon as
he had spoken, he wished he had
not done SO. For that may be the
Woozie Wolf or the Fuzzy Fox try
ing to find out where I'm going, so
he may follow me and nibble my
ears thought the rabbit uncle.
However. 1t was too late, now. and
next the voice said;
"Oh, If you are going to the
store come in here. Uncle Wiggi-
ly; We have everything Nurse Jane
could possibly want"
'Ho! 1o!" whispered Uncle
Wiggily to himself. First they ask
me where I'm going, then they in
vite me in! This must be a trick"
He looked to see which way
would be best to run, and then he
caught sight of Sammie and Susie
on the front step of their house.
waving to him to come in.
ooh, It's Sammie and Susie!
spoke the bunny gentleman with
jolly laugh. Now I'm all right.
No need to worry now. But what
do you mean by saying | needn't
asked.
Because we are playing store
here" said Susie, land you can
come in and make believe buy
things from us. We didn't have to
go to school, on account of 1t being
Saturday. SO mother let us Play
store"
well, I'll come in, for a little
WHILE" said Uncle Wiggily, giving
his pink nose sideways twinkle.
I'll see what you have in your
store, and then I'll have to go to
the real store and get some molas-
ses for Nurse Jane. You don't sell
molasses in your store, do you,
Sammie?' he asked.
"No, not 'zactly molasses," Sam.
mic answered. "But we can make
believe some empty spools of
thread are that"
I'm afraid spool molasses
wouldn't do for Nurse Jane to put
in a cakei" laughed the bunny.
However, I'll come in and see
what you have"
Sammie and Susie had placed a
board across two chairs as a coun-
ter for their play store. On this
board were some pieces of bark,
some pebbles, lot of empty spools,
some buttons for money and a pile
of sand.
"The sand is for sugar." sammie
explained to Uncle Wiggily.
"It's all right IL you don't have
to eat TT" said the bunny.
Now you must come to our
store and buy something" beg
ged Susie.
So Uncle Wiggily pretended he
was customer, as Sammie and
his sister stood behind the count

Uncle Wiggily.

"Oh, but they're extra fresh"
said Susie.
''Then that's all right" chuckled
the bunny gentleman. Now, have
you any spark plugs for my au-
tomobile?"
Here you are" said Sammie,
and he wrapped up some of the
empty spools.
Here's your money" said
Uncle Wiggily, and he paid over
some real pennies to the rabbit
children.
ooh, this Is great!' cried Sam
