Now let me see. In the last story
we left Little Jack Rabbit and the
lovely princess in boat on the big
river that was rushing down to the
great blue ocean near which stood
the castle of the princess father and
they had both fallen asleep for 1t was
night time you remember.
Well, by and b. :, RS. Moon, seeing
them from her window, eent
down a shooting s,ar to ask the FISH
in the river to keep the boat from
hitting a rock or running on the
shore.
So all night long big kind fish
held on to the stern of the boat and
steered it carefully along and another
big fish swan in front and kept a
sharp lookout for hidden rocks and
shoals, and on each side Of the boat
six or maybe seven fishes swami in n
line so that nothing could hit the
sides Of the boat.
And when Mr.. Merry Sun began to
shake off the purple mist on the east
.ern hills, Little Jack Rabbit opened
hts eyes and yawned and then, all Of

didn't know that Mrs. Moon had sent
the star down to tell them what 10 do.
And Just as he was going to ask them

leaned over the side Of the boat to
battle her hands and then, OF course,
she, too saw the fish with their shin
ing silver scales and sweeping fins
and gliding. waving tails.
"How very kind Of you, she said,
II wish I could reward you.
,"You cam, replied the great fish

finger. would give 1t to my wife who
is very fond Of jewelry".
At once the lovely princess slipped
off the ring and handed 1t to the fish
who took 1t carefully In his mouth
and hung 1t over one of his big long
teeth.
II wish I had another ring, said
the princess, for the big fish at tho
bow Of the boat looked very mourn
full.
"Give me a lock Of your golden
hair. he answered after a little
while and his voice didn't sound like

strange? So the little princess cut
off a golden curl and gave 1t to the
fish who placed it carefully in a

between his teeth to keep it from

CANADA IS cANNY

The Canadian senate Is considering
the act passed by the Canadian
House recently, which would en-
power the governor by order in
council to embargo the expectation of
pulp wood from any part Of the
Dominion. This If passed will be a
far-reaching measure designed to
develop pulp and paper manufacture
within the Dominion of Canada and
which would tend to compel the users
Of pulp to seek Canada.
Some comprehension may be had
respecting tho effect on the users of
pulp, pulp wood and paper in this
country when it is learned that many
Of the manufacturers this side of the
line own extensive woodlands in
Canada, that this country imports
nearly a million cords of pulp wood
every year for the use of paper max
ing, that we haven't wood of our own
sufficient to our needs.
The Canadians say this step is
necessary Tor the conservation OF
their resources, though no one doubts
if it becomes law nearly an equal
amount of pulp wood will be cut,
though manufactured in mills now
and to be established in Canada.
This would seem to be sufficient
cause for the embargo without at
tributing it to a desire on the part of
Canada to retaliate for the American
tariff on certain Canadian products.
This purpose doesn't appear to have
been even suggested in the course of
the legislative debate on the meas
ure. Indeed Canada has sold to the
United States forty per cent more
under the present than under the
previous tariff. 1t Is said. Resorting
to trade embargoes to promote home
industry is taking drastic measures,
which over a period of years may not
prove as advantageous as the
Canadians evidently now think it will
prove.

The secretary Of the Kansas Board
OF Agriculture ventures to suggest
that farmers raise less wheat, that
they got in the habit Of growing
great quantities when the war de-
mand made a market for it, a habit
Of which they should scnow break
themselves. This Kansan really dis
tinguishes himself but he is out of
step with the procession headed to-
ward Washington for the purpose Of
having the Government buy all the
wheat they wish to raise. While for
the moment he will not receive po-
ntical favor he has rendered as great
service as a previous Kansan did
when he advised neighbors to raise
more corn and less hell.

HOW KEEP UP WITH THE GRIM.
INAI

The criminal often is .enterprising
in a way; not slow to make use of
modern methods. Consider the read
mess and success with which he
adapted the automobile to his pur-
poses. Hardly day passes without
printed account of criminal exploits
aided by the gas car. With the COM
ing Of the aerial flivver this condition
will be an even greater menace to law
and order.
The guardians Of society seem to be
somewhat behind the criminal in
turning these facilities to the appre-
hension Of him. Especially is this so
in the smaller communities and as
the methods employed by the police
In the great centers of population i'm
prove the criminal will be driven far
ther af1eld, where these are not en-
ployed. 1t already is possible for him
to do this, commit the crime and be
out of the State by dawn, following
his crime.
Recent exploits in this and neigh
boring states within the past few
days call attention to the plight Of
the small community and its help
lessness under present conditions to
cope with the automobile bandit, who
sets out to loot it's stores or places,
where a haul Of money or goods may
be expected.
This probably will serve to arouse
renewed interest in the question Of
having a State constabulary, though
one might easily find room for doubt
whether this would greatly improve
the situation. Nothing can be more
certain than the fact, so we'll demon
strated, that the outlying places need
protection. the State as well as the
community is interested in maintain
ing law and order. In short, if crime
is to be no more than kept up with by
enterprise on the part Of the officers
of the law the INTERPOLATION between
the obligations resting on the COM
munity, the state and the great cities,
where the criminals converge and
through the channels of which they
disposed of their loot becomes more
pronounced with the increase in the
facilities for intercourse.
1t is time for the people Of the out
lying communities to ask themselves,
as they doubtless are doing, what
may be done for protection. The
struggle with the lawless must be
kept up. The best methods must be
sought; we might as we'll, first as
last, arrive at the conclusion that
anything equal to the demand will
necessitate effort and expenditure.
but what, just what is needed? 1t
would seem that beginning might
be made by establishing facilities for
concerted action. AS soon as the
crime is discovered there should be
made systematic effort covering
this and neighboring states, the
thoroughfares in the state and au-
thorities in position to cooperate, so
that in an hours time a thousand
eyes would be looking for traces Of
the criminal, where there are now
but few. This would be but a begin
ming and certain to grow in size and
expense, we may be assured, whether
or not it might wax correspondingly
great in usefulness. But the begin
ming Of some effort already appears
in Maine to be overdue.
