AMERICAN SHIPS
1t was one of those warm, early
summer evenings. The sun had been
beating down all the day through, as
II it wanted to make up for lost time
during the long winter. months. There
mad been no rain for over a week and
the grass, flowers and nice green
things in the garden were ve.y thirsty.
Jack was out in front of the house
having the time of his life with the
hose. He had watered everything
about four times more than necessary
and Uncle Ted was calling him from
the rear of the house.
Jack Oh, Jack!" he called.
Hurry up and bring that hose back
here so 1 can water the garden"
After much effort and struggle with
the pipe connection, Jack finally man
aged to get the hose around the house.
That's the boy" said Uncle Ted,
go "".h maui the cOnnectlOn and
turned on the water. tn be dark
In about two shakes and then you kid.
dies will have to trot along to bed.
If you III call Ruth back here I'll tell
you story while I finish giving the
garden a drink
The three chums were soon seated
ON the back step, while Uncle Ted
held the hose in one hand and sprayed
the water back and forth over the
garden.
Jack, heard you telling Freddie
today what he should do, and you
wero very positive and to the point,
too. Now I'm not scolding you, but
want to make point of what hap
pcned so that I can better make YOU
understand the relation of business tn
government. What you said to Fred.
die may have been true enough, but
remember, you must be right yourself
You must 'set your own house in order'
before you have any right to tell
Freddie what to do. It is Just as
President Harding said to great
crowd of American business men gath
cred in the national capital recently
L know you are interested in world
restoration. So is your government.
But I beg to remind you we must al
ways be right at home before we can
be very helpful abroad. T do not
know of anything that would help
more than to give to the world an
example of commercial nation with
an abiding conscience
President Harding is right from
more than one standpoint. If our
business men are not honest in all
their dealings and if thev do not set
the right example to the rest of the
world, we cannot be in a position to
tell the rest of the world what and
how they should do. That is one
phase of the question. The other is
that we are n big, busy, wealthy
country. We have enough and more
to do to keep this country going right
President Harding-congress- cab.
lnet-the state governors-mayors and
one or two private citizens here and
there cannot make things move in the
right direction unless everybody makes
up his mind to PUSH and HELP THE
OTHER FELLOW, CONSCIENTIOUS.
LY AND HONESTLY. If we do that
we are doing more for the rest of the
world than by joining all the world
clubs and Genoa parties you can think
Of. The world is divided into two
parts these days. The United States
of America and Europe. At least they
are the most of the two parts in mr.
opinion. Europe has her problems.
We have ours. We should attend to
ours and she should attend to hers
And if we attend to ours in the right
way we will be of more genuine help
to Europe than in any other way. This
is plain enough to me. Trade is the
real bond between countries and il we
are honest in our trade then we really
will be helping the whole world
"Presdent Harding said several
other things to those business men.
well worth repeating. You know he
has always been strong for less gov
ernment in business and more business
in government. His comment to these
