I FOUND him ragged and alone,
hero's medal on his breast:
He rested on a messy stone,
And patiently he needed rest;
He lacked an arm. his face was white.
And he was thin and hollow-eyed:
asked about his doIeful plight,
And, smiling sadly, he replied:
GIVE hunted long and Travelled far.
For there are men wish to find;
II you can tell me where they are
You will relieve my troubled mind.
And there are women I'd be glad
To meet again before die;
I've hunted, but the huntings bad;
I wish that you could tell me why.
seTHE people whom wish to see
= Are those who filled me once with
cheer;
The promises they made to me
Were wonderful and very clear.
They told me. and their words were plain,
That all l asked for should be mine;
I've tried to find them but in vain,
They've gone, and left no trace or sign.
HHoW clearly recall the days
When their affection seemed SO deep;
They brought me cakes and gave me praise
Well, such things, l suppose, were
cheap!
They told me that il I returned
My losses would be well repaid;
1t seemed that they were much concerned:
By feelings that were noble, swayed.
GIVE hunted up and down the land,
= But they, alas, have disappeared;
find it hard to understand,
I'm frowned at where I once was
cheered
Men call me names because I've dared
To ask for something on account;
wonder where they are who cared
So much when fear was paramount?"

Ambassador Harvey

is propaganda in the interests of the International Bank
whom Mr. Harvey served when publisher and Whom Mr.
Harvey served at the Republican nominating convention in
Chicago and whom he is apparently still serving Ambassa
dor to England.
In fact may truly be said of Mr. Harvey that he is not
much to England of the United States OF Amer
lea as he is Ambassador to England of the International
Bankers.
All Americans who have abroad of ate and most of
those who have know that conditions in Europe not
bad they during the anything like it, know
that conditions in England very rapidly improving and
that matter of fact England rather alarmng regain
ing it's financial Dominance that France is prosperous and
that the French Government would have little any, deficit
in its annual budget this Government of France would
fran from maintaining such military establish
ments.
These Americans know that France has vigorously declined
the propositions of the United States looking toward dis
armament partial disarmament and that France insists
upon maintaining mperialistic policy which not only
responsible for her deficit but very likely plunge Europe
at any time into another disastrous war;
The situation Middle Europe distressing but part
of this distress must be paid penalty for the mperastc
policies of Germany which plunged Germany and the other
imperalstc nations into the late great war.
Beyond this there need be depression and distress
Central Europe except it is forced by the excessive
on of the Allies and the determination of France keep
III prOSCraCe Impoverished cOnQlClOn
This is folly the part of France because Europe
whole France included, would profit all of Europe
prosperous and impoverished and restricted both
in its producing and purchasing power
However, is the habit of imperialism to see anything
but its policies of greed and aggression.
The plain truth that Europe recovering from the
effects of the rapidly be expected any rate
rapidly the mitarsc policies of France will permit
to further and quicker recovery desired this
should be obtained by the abandonment of huge military
establishments and military adventures by the mperialistic
nations of Europe and not by involving the United States
America in the complications of Europe.
Ambassador Harvey is not intelligent enough see this
and not patriotic enough to speak this truth plainly for the
advantage of his country he is intelligent enough or
patriotic enough to remain Ambassador of the United
States to England.
Mr. Harvey has made nothing but mistakes since he has
been sent abroaduttered nothing but absurds Probably
Mr. Harvey is not capable of doing anything BETTER but at
least he could make his mistakes less conspicuous place
and voice his uerances where they would be so obec
tonable and humilating to good Americans.

N some hospital or asylum in
! every city in the land there
are children, crippled for life,
confined to their bed and their
chair, entirely helpless.
How would it be. If we tried
to install a radio set in all
these places? All day long
they could listen to music or
to people talking. The painful
tedium Of their life would be
relieved.
Think. too. of the grown
people who lie in hospitals all
day long and of the blind and
Of little orphans who must
live on charity. What a won
derful source Of pleasure this
new science would open to
them!
You have only to think
about It for a minute to see
the whole panorama.
With all the suffering and
poverty In the world It is true
that there are probably more
pressing needs to be relieved.
Nevertheless, it seems to me
that, with the approach of the
holiday season, the hearts of
generous people would quickly
respond to this particular
appeal.

Blacky the Crow thought it would
do this time. But it didn't. No, sir,
it didn't. Instead it filed the young
Fox with joy. You see, he knew
that Farmer Browns Boy was a
friend. He knew it probably would
mean that he would have to go back
as prisoner in Farmer Browns
barnyard, but that would be better,
thousand times better, than being
a prisoner in the Green Forest. So
the young Fox pricked up his ears
and listened eagerly.
Presently he heard footsteps. Then
he saw Farmer Browns Boy slowly
approaching and looking this way
and that way. The young Fox sat
up and whined. Yes, sir, he did just
that. Of course, Farmer Brown s
Boy heard him and hurried over to
him.
'You poor little rascal!' exclaimed
Farmer Browns Boy as he saw how
the young Fox was held a prisoner.
"You poor little rascal! wonder
how long you have been a prisoner
here"
Then he went to work to get the
chain free from the log, while Bow
ser the Hound looked on, wagging
his tail. When the chain was free
he picked the young Fox up in his
arms and started for home, while

people Of the Green Forest what had

A sadly frightened and very hun
cry young Fox lay beside a log in
the Green Forest. With all his might
he wished that he had not run away
from Farmer Browns barnyard,
where he had been a prisoner. Yes,
sir, he wished just that, strange as
it may seem. It had been better, far
better, to be d prisoner there than a
prisoner in the Green Forest, and
this is just what the young Fox was.
AS a prisoner in Farmer Browns
barnyard he had had plenty to eat
and the best of care. AS a prisoner
n the Green Forest he was likely to
starve to death.
All night he had struggled to free
himself, but in vain. That chain
which held him had wedged so tight
ly i1 crack in an old log that, do
what he would, he couldn't get it
free. So when morning came he was
in despair and completely tired out.
He was so tired out and discouraged
that he hardly noticed the racket
which Sammy Jay and Blaclly the
Crow and Chatterer the Red SPUR
rel were making. AS soon as it was
light enough all three had hurried
over to see if he was still there, and
when they had found that he was,
had started in to try to torment him
by shrieking at him and calling his
names and making fun Of him.

Browns Boy had eaten an early

Of so much head cheese in winter,

teaspoonful Of lemon extract, or

of sugar, half cup Of vinegar.
Soak the cleaned hogs head over

When done the meat leaves the

Is very fat don't use more than half
the fat. Mince the meat, or put
through a food chopper, take off a
lot of the grease in the pot, put in
the meat and fruit, flavorings and
other things, cook till the raisins are
tender, and if you have no currants
just use twice as many raisins. Put
while hot in sterilized jars, pack in
and pour some Of the liquor in to
fill it. Seal while hot. My recipe
said steri1ize half an hour, but mine
keeps, for I cook the meat and fruit

and started out again to look for
that young Fox. He headed straight
for the Green Forest, for the after
noon before he had searched all
through the Old Pasture. Now the
voices of Blacky the Crow and Sam
my Jay carried a long distance. Even
before he reached the edge Of the
Green Forest Farmer Browns Boy
heard them. He paused for a mo-
ment to listen. He knew by the
sound that those two scamps were
greatly excited over something. His
face frightened. perhaps those ras.
calls have found the young Fox"
said he to himself. IT can tell bv
the sound Of their voices that thew
have found something unusual. I'll
go over there and see what it is."
So with Bowser the Hound trot-
ting at his heels, Farmer Browns
Boy headed straight for the place
where those voices were coming
from. The nearer he got the louder
those voices became. Then he heard
the voice of Chatterer the Red SOUR
rel and it sounded as if he were as
excited as Blacky the Crow and Sam
my Jay. He hurried, and hope grew
in his heart
Blacky the Crow was the first one
to discover Farmer Browns Boy.
Cav, cav. cav" he shrieked louder
than ever. Cav, cav, cav! Here
comes Farmer Browns Boy"
Now, once such news would have
filed the heart of the young Fox
with fear. Probably that is what
