Buster Bear Loses Half His Feast

Buster Bear Loses Half His Feast To do a thing that must be done
 There's usually more ways than one, TlHIS means, of course, that if one
 way fails you shouldn't give up
 and think the thing cannot be done. You should try to find some other way. Often it will be most unexpect- cd way, a way that you discover by accident. There was the case of Busy Bee and her fellow workers when Bus ter Bear found their storehouse anl began to rob it of their honey. They had done their best to drive him away. They had used the sharp little lances in their tails for all they were worth. If it had been any one but Buster Bear they would have succeeded in driving the robber away. But though they fought as hard as they could, and stung with all their might, they couldn't drive Buster away from that honey. To Bus ter's way thinking that honey was worth all the pain of the stings. And then, quite by accident, they discovered a way of getting rid of him. Some of them flying about found Farmer Browns boy watching what was going on, and in the blindness of their anger mistook him for another enemy, and treated him as they had treat ed Buster Bear.
 Now Farmer Browns boy has no such thick skin as has Buster Bear. At the first sting, which felt as if red hot needle had been thrust into him, he jumped from his hiding place. Before you sould say Jack Robinson half a dozen bees had stung him and a cloud

President Coolidge, it is confidently predict

One lesson the election seems to emphasize
particularly. The turmoil and discomfort which
followed upon the conclusion of peace, due in
large part to the upsetting of the economic
structure and the deiation of agriculture and
other industries, have subsided to a great ex-
tent The effort to capitalize that dis
content, made by the Independent Progressive
ticket. did not produce all the results expected.
In Great Britain, where the postwar suffer-

far, and where the Labor party was placed in
power a short year ago, the Conservatives
were brought back into power only a few days
before the election hero in the United States
by a sweep almost decisive the Republi-
victory chalked up Tuesday.
The failure of the Labor party in England
had a dampening effect the Progressives
in the conclusion of the campaign here. Now
that the campaign is over. the leaders of
American organized labor must decide wheth-

Does organized labor in America want to

question which confronts American labor when

of the most clear thinking of the men in the

meant by "liberalizing" the Republican party.
He replied somewhat as follows:
In the first place, the Government, under
the President must be placed in the hands of
men who are not reactonary, who have liberal
views. There is plenty of room for changes
along this line in Washington today. The peo-
pie will not be satisfied unless they have a

OF course, there other men prominent

Continuing, this Republican leader said that
while there were parts of the existing tariff
law which needed amendment, which imposed
too high rates, there would be no attempt
made at this time, perhaps in the next cou-
pie of years, for a general revision of the

To back up his theory Gov. Sweet

he had faced Immediately after his
election to Office. During the post
war industrial unrest, which caused
strikes and lockouts in Colorado as
it did in most States, the mines and
surrounding property were under the
protection of group of armed men
called rangers" Since the State haG
not the funds for their support, they
were paid chiefly by private interests
and consequently were the tools OF
the operators rather than the serv-
ants of the State. According to Gov
Sweet, they were gathered, with a
few exceptions. from the riff-raff OF
the street and augmented their in

"The first thing I did after assum-

to cut off the rangers.
Immediately there went up q hue
and cry from some of the mine own
ers who feared reprisals from their
men. But the men have been so re-
lieved at the removal of that reign
of terror that we have had practically
no strikes, and 1 claim our men are
as sane and law abiding as any in the
country.
