UNCLE TED'S
BEDTIME STORIES.

That's about the liveliest jazz I've
heard in long time. What's going
on?" asked Uncle Ted, as he sat down
for a chat with Ruth and Jack after
supper.
"Oh, that's another party across the
wa" said Jack. 'There sure are
enough of them around here these
days.
Yes" said Ruth, the same crowd
goes from one house to the other every
night and every night the noise is
worse"
"All of which reminds me of some
other parties, larger but on the same
order" said Uncle Ted. Il was think
ing of the p arties in Europe. Every
one they have is livelier, noiser and
accomplishes less than the one before
and as if the meeting places weren't
already jammed to OVERLOOKING they
want the United States to join the
crowd and furnish all the amusement
not to mention the money"
What parties do you mean?" asked
Jack.
1--WE told you, Jack, of the confer
ence at Genoa and what time they
had there. We kept out of it, thanks
to our President, and we can be
mighty glad we did for the party end
ed without results and with everybody
feeling out of sorts with the other fell
low. Russia and Germany double
crossed the other boys at the party |
and although Lloyd George tried his
best to entertain the crowd and keep
them feeling good the results were the
equal of nothing. The foreign coun-
.ries meeting at Genoa met there to
~ and settle a lot of serious problems
Europe. They were not.
Is I have told you before, problems
affecting the United States. If we had
AIKEN part We would have been so far :
involved in the whole mess by this |
ime that our President would have
,een kept busy trying to help work I
nut the other fellows troubles while '
'ur own troubles would have gone I'M I
olved. As it is now, We are ready and a
Wiling, as always, to help the more
but We must remember I
he teachings of George Washington t
nd those great men who followed 4
i'm, that our domestic problems must
70 solved first and that We must keep t
rom entangling ourselves with Eu- C
ope. No greater disaster could have c
efollen this country than to have r
oined the world club. The men who r
ad our country's welfare at heart r

ends to steer the ship of state not e
My away from he world club but r
way from any party that has moth r
1g to do with the United States and C

lese parties and Uncle Sam is taking r
, chances. The Genoa party was C,
