were on their way to the fly paper
store. They walked slowly in the
shade, for the sun was very hot.
81 want three double sheets Of
your very stickiest fly paper" said
Uncle Wiggily to the little mousic
girl clerk in the store.
She gave them to the rabbit gen
tleman, and Uncle Wiggily was
about to put them in his pocket
when Floppy said:
"Oh, let me carry one!'
And Curly said:
con, let me take one in my
pocket" "
"Well," remarked Uncle. Wig
gily with smile, "as there are
three double sheets there viii be
one for each Of US. But be care
full not to pull the sheets apart or
you II be all stuck up"
." We II be careful, PROMISED
the piggie boys. So Uncle Wiggily
put double sheet Of sticky fly
paper in his pocket, and Curly put
a double sheet of sticky fly paper
IN his pocket, and Floppy put n
double sheet Of sticky fly paper in
his pocket.
Then they started off through
the warm sunshine for home. About
quarter way home Floppy put

LESS WHEAT

"The farmer should realize that the real solution
of his difficulties lies in raising less wheat In most
localities also be raised to advantage since
it now carries price almost as high in time.
His difficulties will not be solved however,
through the legislative efforts of radical agitators
John J. Mitchell president of a big Chicago bank,
issues this statement and goes to attack the Capper
Tincher bill having played large part in forcing
cereal prices down by eliminating speculation Many
people will quarrel with his opinions in that matter,
but very few of the farmers hardest hit by the
fall in wheat prices will deny that his plea for
diversified farming is altogether sound.
The recent price declinew hich has carried wheat
far below the dollar mark has seriously affected the
farmers buying power when wheat is his money
CROP but it cannot be questioned that other farm pro-
ducts at the present fairly satisfactory market, will
serve in many cases to prevent disaster.
Whatever the merits of the Capper-Tincher bill,
its faults, the fact remains that although this
country must continue to contribute largely to the
worlds wheat supply, our farmers can never again
hope for high prices when bumper crops the rule
in competing lands and commodity prices show gen.
eral downward tendency.
Diversified farming whatever its disadvantages,
gives the farmer more than one basket for his eggs

BUSINESS IN GOVERNMENT

Stanley Baldwin, Prime Minister of England has
a way of speaking his thoughts which appeals to his
American audience. The other day, in London, at
dinner given by the Lord Mayor, the governor of the
Bank of England the Secretary of the United States
Treasury and Mr.. Baldwin all guests. In the
Prime Minister'S speech he said:
"No business arrangement could have been carried
out fairly, more honorably and more pleasantly
in its details than the settlement of debt to
America which negotiated in Washington last JAN
uary.
Il believe that great deal of credit, if credit
there was, for the rapidty with which that great
question solved, from the fact that neither
the governor of the Bank of England nor | nor Mr..
Mellon had ever at any stage of our lives been men,
bers of the legal profession and that all three
of individually and collectively far business
men even than were politicians statesmen.
81 have often felt that had it been possible to
leave the settlement of Europe in the hands of bus
mess might have arrived at some settlement
long before this time.
Mr.. Baldwin did not mean this as an indictment
of the ability honesty of lawyers, politicians or
statesmen He simply pointed out what he believed to
be fact that business men, approaching such prob
lens with little awe for red tape, tradition or fixed
diplomatic procedure, might bring to bear them
more prompt and efficient understanding. 1t is
point of view that stimulates thought.

BONUS SPENDING

The American Legion has been checking up the
to which World War veterans in Illinois put
ting the bonus granted them by the state The money
is being spent about follows:
Saving deposits received 25 per cent; stocks and
bonds bought with 1873 per cent; debts paid
with Is per cent clothing for self and family took 1916
per cent; furniture got per cent home payments,
per cent; doctor and hospital bills take per cent;
lodge dues take per cent, and living expenses take
per cent.
If these figures seem bit queer in certain in
stances it must be remembered that the veterans
ular income is supposed to be taking of many Of
these things and that the bonus is additional, helping
out where most needed.
1t is because bonus represents little quite
outside of normal income that persons antcipat
ed it would be blown in fooshy. Sucn pessimists in
any community forgetting the good of the
veterans.

he had the fly paper safe. Well,
his paw went. in his pocket easily
enough, but 1t didn't come out. For
his paw went in between the two
sticky sides of the fly paper, and
there his paw was caught fast.
Floppy said nothing, but he had
4 funny look on his face as he
walked along, with one paw in his
pocket. Then, about half way home,
Curly put his paw in his pocket to
see if he had his piece Of sticky
fly paper safe. And the same thing.
happened to him. He put in his
paw, but he couldn't pull out his
paw because it was caught fast in
between the two sheets of fly
paper that had come apart because
the day was 50 warm.
Then, about three-quarters Of the
way home, Uncle Wiggily put his
paw in his pocket to see if his
fly paper was safe-and-lO! and
bchold-his paw was caught fast.
"Oh, my goodnessl cried the
rabbit gentleman. "I'm struck"
$50 am Il" cried Floppr.
$50 am T." squealed Curly
And just then up came the Bob
Cat. But when the Bob Cat saw
Uncle Wiggily and Gully and
Floppv, each one with paw in his
pocket, the Bob Cat howled:
"Ha! ! know what You are 90,
ing to do! You have stones in
your pockets and you are going TO
throw them at me! No you don II
You cant fool me that way!"
And away ran the Bob Cat, though
the bunny and piggie boys had no
stones at all to throw.
CHA! Hal" laughed Uncle Wig
gily. Even if we are stuck we
fooled the Bob Cat. /" Nurse Jane
laughed when she saw tie three
each with a paw stuck in his pocket.
But she helped them get rid Of the
sticky fly paper by greasing their
paws with butter. And then the
muskrat lady caught "a lot of flies.

HORSEPOWER

The rest of the world likes automobiles. Ex-
ports for the past II months gained 50 per cent in
quantity and 81 per cent in value the preceding
period while sales of parts tires engines and
les kept pace Ten per cent of all exports in
the form of motor vehicles.
But Europe our best customer in this line, does
not buy automobiles nowadays in quite the same spirit
as does America. considerable proportion of our
domestic buyers interested in horsepower
major element, and the motor makers bear this in
mind when they advertise. Overseas the high price
of gasoline together with the high tax rates lead every
manufacturer to minimize this factor and to figure out
the lowest possible rating for his engine.
There the papers full of four, eight and IL
horsepower cars advertised with what would seem
utter shamelessness to the American accustomed to
claim twice or three times the actual Development and
explain il the ground that horsepower can be fig
ured in several ways. And, as a result, the Depart
ment of Commerce is advising American makers to say
as little of power and much of economy as they
can when they invade the overseas markets
They must indeed practise unusual self-restrant,
but that will be worth any advertising mans while
