"One Of the outstanding features
Of the week was the issuance by
union labor leaders Of triumphant
claims that the so-called deflation OF
labor costs had collapsed, set over
against which were the views ex.
pressed by some trade experts that
both foreign and domestic trade
would be checked and the progress
toward stability in trade halted by
the restoration of the old 1920 costs
Of production. The passage Of the
tariff bill with the marked increase
In duties consequent thereupon. and
the introduction Of the bonus bill in
the Senate, were coincident with an
increase Of interest in the possible
political results to flow from the fall
elections, now only about two months
away. Bearing on the advances In
steel mill workers wages and the re-
storation of former wages announced
by some new England textile mills. 1t
is to be borne In mind that the great
war and the restrictions on immigra-
ton since then are conceded to have
lessened the old time stream Of new
labor supply from Europe, effects Of
which are now perhaps becoming
visible.
Expect Higher Prices.
Optimistic expressions as to the
future, 1t may be noted, stress ex'
pected or predicted higher prices as
in themselves offering a basis for
more activity in trade and industry,
and this only two years after the
collapse Of values at that time at
tributed to costs having reached un-
bearable heights. The stock market
has continued to register confidence
in present or higher prices for
securities. ease of money here being
powerful factor, while the good
outlook for most crops is also ad-
duced as a stimulating factor, al
though the relatively low level OF
agricultural produce is conceded to
be a brake on buying by the import
| ant farming interest.
THE same aspect Of trregularity
noted in the larger movements Of
the week seems to be visible in the
reports from individual cities. Some
large Eastern centers note that spe-
cial efforts to attract buyers in re.
cent weeks have been productive OF a
good volume Of buying by jobbers,
but this is tempered by reports that
scarcity Of fuel Is lessening indus
trial output, iron and steel lines es-
pecially reporting that increases in
fuel supplies are as yet negligible,
and that production is slowing down.
Complaints of retarded receipts Of
raw materials for manufacture come
from some cities, as we'll as claims
that shipments of finished products
and OF building material are being in
terfered with. Good reports as to
fruit crop conditions in some States
are balanced by claims that there is
scarcity of refrigerator cars to
haul same to market"

trouble at all to catch one of them if

rooster whose voice led me into all
my trouble. What a vain. boastful
fellow he Is. Yet he hasn't any
more sense than those stupid hens.
My, how l would like one Of them
for dinner"
1t was then that he noticed that
some of those hens were coming
nearer. and a sudden thought popped
into his head. Perhaps II he kept
out of sight one Of them might come
near enough so that he could spring
out and catch her Once more eager
ness took possession of him and he
made ready to spring out should
there be the least chance.
But the hens didn't come near
enough They came almost within
reach. but not quite. and the young
Fox was wise enough not to take
the chance Of frightening them. He
remained motionless. but never for
an instant did he take his eyes from
those big. stupid-looking birds.
Watching them SO closely. he soon
discovered that they were looking for
food. He saw Mrs. Brown come out
and put a painful OF scraps on the
ground. He saw those hens rush to
meet her and then greedily crowd
around that pan. He looked over at
his own empty plate. and an idea
came to him. Perhaps II there was
food in that plate those hens would
come to get 1t.

Farmer Browns Boy Lets
His Hens Out.
This truth experience will teach:
Want not the thing beyond your reach.
fntl, Nj,


Old Mother Nature.
Farmer Browns Boy was in the
habit of once in while opening the
henyard gate and letting his hens
out to run about the barnyard. 1t
gave them exercise which they need
ed. He did this one morning shortly
after he and the young Fox had be-
come friends. 1t was the first time
the young Fox had seen those hens
since he had been a prisoner. You
know, 1t was those very hens who
had caused him all the trouble he
had been in. Had it not been for
them he would not now be a pris-
oner.
He knew now what a hen tasted
like, for you remember that Mother
Fox had brought him one in the
night shortly after he was made a
prisoner SO now he was even more
interested in those big birds than he
! Farmer Browns Boy had brought
him many dainties to eat, but fresh
iy killed hen had not been among
them. So as he watched those hens
running about the barnyard there
was the same eagerness in his eyes
'iiht IiiCi Il uscu u be " iltI lc was
hunting for his own food.
For the time being he forgot that
he was a prisoner. Crouching close
!! to the ground, he slowly crept toward
the nearest hen. Very. very care
fully he moved. If the hen looked
up he remained motionless His eyes
burned with eagerness. Little thrills
of excitement ran all over him. His
mouth watered. Then he felt a gen
tie tug at his neck as he reached the
end of the chain and remembered.
Such a bitter. bitter disappoint-
ment! He got to his feet and. with
head and tail hanging low, trotted
back to his little house and disap-
peared inside He was ashamed Yes.
sir. he was ashamed. and he looked
it. He wasn't ashamed of having
tried to catch one of those hens. Oh,
my. no. He was ashamed of being a
prisoner. He couldn't bear to have
those hens see him prisoner So he
crept inside his house. where he
couldn't be seen, and tried to forget
those hens.
But forgetting wasn't easy. In
fact. 1t was impossible. You see. he
could hear them clucking and scratch
ing. and so long as he heard them
he simply couldn't forget them After
while he changed his position so
that he could look out of his door,
way without himself being seen.
