to lose a fortune two minutes after
he found It,
I'm the fairy of the rainbow" re-
piled the voice and, all of sudden,
the prettiest little person you ever
saw slid down to the ground and
waved her lovely gauzy wings, pink
as a cloud at sunset or new blown
rose.
ooh. dearest me-" sighed the
anxious little bunny, NOW / suppose
I'll have to give up my fortune" and
he looked at the little fairy, with
tear in each eye.
"If l let you keep the pot of gold,
will you do me a favor:" asked the
fairy. -,
"What is it you wish me to do?"
said Little Jack Rabbit, unwilling
to promise something he might not
be able to do And let me tell YOU
right here. many people promise TO
do things without waiting TO ma
out what they are. A very danger
Gus thing to do for II often gets one
into lots and lots OF trouble, so
please remember to be as wise as
Little Jack Rabbit.
Promise me you'll never do ,
Things which are not good ana
true.
Strive to help a weary friend
Forward to the journeys end.
See this rainbow, bright and fair,
Is a promise, sweet and rare
That the storm will pass away
And the sunshine fill the day"
sang the little fairy, and when she
mad finished her song she added:
Promise me to tell every one you
meet that the rainbow of hope will
shine for them in the cloudy skies of
disappointment"
Il WILL" answered the little bunny
and then the fairy disappeared in the
rainbow, leaving the pot of gold in
the little rabbits keeping, and, in
the next story YOU shall hear what
happened after that.

Their combined purchasing power is
greater than that of the farm work.
crS
The purchasing power of the dol
lar of both farmer and city worker
is now increasing slightly. Prob
ably the rate of gain is greater for
the city dollar than for the farm
dollar. Wage scales in the cities in
many instances are close to the
scales of the war period. At the
same time, prices of necessities are
fiuCtuating less violently than form
erly. And this last is largely due to
the farmer whose food is being sold
in the cities at prices closer to the
1913 prices than any other necessity.
Farmers complain that their food
must now he poured out in unrea-
so1able quantities to obtain the
products of the cities.

Ornamentation and usefulness
We're hardly ever known to inter-
mingle with any degree of salts
faction. The presence of one gen.
orally forbids the use of the other.
Consider the fish net for example.
Nobody by any flight of fancy
could call one ornamental. But it's
usefulness in catching fish is I'M
questioned. But now, Dame Fashion,
always on the alert, has apparently
linked both the useful and orna-
mental by devising these new colored
hair nets which are fast appearing
about the permanent waves of our
fluffy haired fappers. Which may
lead to the remark that fish hooking
is not entirely accomplished by fish
nets.

FREE TRADE ON MANU-
EACTURES

Free trade on manufactures Is
practically what Senator Mcclellan,
Democrat, advocates when he says
that the tariff duties on every article
that the farmer uses should be taken
off entirely, so that he may produce
crops more cheaply. The farmer of
today uses about everything that is
used by any other citizen. Another
senator of the radical group. who is
not a farmer, finds that there is a
farmers demand for tariff rates on
common necessities which. do not
contribute to the high cost Of living
and which do not stand between us
and a sound economic adjustment"
Senator Mcclellan Is careful to
avoid any statement in favor of
lowering the tariff on farm products.
The second senator mentioned was
member of the farm bloc whose
tariff program as adopted increased
the duties on farm products to double
those under the Republican law of
1909, with the exception of wool. A
third senator, who is a radical ram
pant, wants the importation Of food
stuffs prohibited, but will not count
enance protection of manufactured
goods.
Now, the attitude of these three
senators is that the tariff is added
to the selling price of the articles
used by the farmer, which Is not
true, but assuming for the purpose
of argument that it is, would not
such an addition to selling prices
apply with equal certainty to food
stuffs? The chairman of the Demo-
the high cost of foodstuffs to the
tariff. Are we to understand that
these three senators-and there are
others purveying the same line of
talk-favor the addition Of the tariff
to the price of the foodstuffs which
those not engaged in food production
must buy, while they oppose any
tariff on manufactured goods which
the farmer must buy? 1t looks that
way.
During the last fiscal year 60 per
cent. of our food imports, crude and
prepared, and 81 per cent. of our
manufactured goods paid duty. The
food imports included such nom
competitive products as coffee. tea,
mir boy I'D nfriy
nuts and their products, which made
up 81 per cent. of the total food i'm
ports and practically accounted for
the total free food imports. Thirty
three per cent of the manufactured
imports were duty free. Now, since
the duties on food imports were
admittedly high and the average
ad valorem rate of duty on all i'm
ports was the lowest in the history
Of the protective policy-less than
Is per cent.-it follows Of necessity
that the decreases must have ap-
piled chiefly to manufactured goods,
because the great bulk of crude
products are on the free list. To
cut the duties on manufactured
goods still lower would be to invite
industrial disaster which would
bring agricultural disaster in its
wake. since of the $4,000 0O0,0
worth of foodstuffs raised annually,
at least s14,OOO,O0O, 900 must find a
market at home. These senators
would not only put the farmer in a
worse hole. but they would make the
depression general and permanent.

at Auto Knitting would be an unusually
good record, requiring Overtime, rather
than ''spare-time" work. But even in two
or three hours day, worthwhile dollars
can be made, and our Work Contract
guarantees you a market for every
standard sock you knit. The Auto Knitter

Last April, when this camp
closed down, many Of our neigh
bors came in to see us before they
went away, and when / told them
that we were going to stay here
and knit socks for the Auto Knit
ter Hosiery Company, they would
say, you are surely lucky that
you don't have to leave"
But my husband did not look
at it that way. He told them
that it was not a case of luck with
us, but instead it was only using
good judgment to take advantage
of a good proposition when it was
offered to us.
