truth.
Higgins Wentworth was hoeing
one April morning when three rough
looking men climbed the fence and
crossed the field to him. They had
just been shlpwrecked, they said, on
the brig Maria. They had lost even
their clothes. Would Higgins help
them?
Higgins Wentworth looked closely
into the sailors faces. for he knew
the ways Of men. Then he said:
"'You, the bow-legged one. go
stand twenty yards to the right, and
I'll get ye to help me INMATES with
the seedin'. You. BADLY there, you

Higgins Wentworth said quietly to
the man who remained.

the reply.

he asked.

field to the third man.

Higgins Wentworth leaned on his
hoe and gathered the three men about
him.

FEED THE CHILDREN

Let active, healthy children
have a simple midmorning or
nidafternoon lunch II they
crave it. The chances are that
this extra food is absolutely re-
quired by the growing bodies.
Be careful, however, not to add
sweets or rich foods to these
lunches. Plain bread and butter,
a glass of milk, banana livery
ripe) or some other simple food
will be ample.
Be very careful not to let
the children get into the habit
Of being hasty at meal time. A
quiet relaxed period at table
followed by a reasonable time
Of rest will go far toward help
ing them to get the fullest pos
sible good from the food eaten.

knowledge, education, informa-

is the most valuable.
It must be acquired while the

Knowledge and hunlea power,
Bacon wrote, lin Norvum Organ

Emerson, who opined, There is no
knowledge that is not power.
knowledge comes of learning

Wise Disraeli, who rose from

It is practically impossible to re-
move the burned spots in linen,
provided the heat has thoroughly
blackencd the fabric so that it is

Associate Justice Reynolds of the
United States supreme court pre-
faces with a story. Occasionally
the justice tells a story with a
point so subtle that only those with
keenly pitched sense Of humor
can "get" it. One night at dinner
he offered something that created
not the slightest ripple of laugh

length of time, and then observed:

it."
Still nobody laughed. maybe it

An Englishman was seated next
to the justice. His curiosity
aroused, he asked:

say come by freight ?"

sldered. In general. We failed to find
much value in economic arguments
based upon what ought to be instead
of what is--based, in other words.
upon a constantly changing status
quo.
Capacity for Payment.
"As the economic processes Of Ger
many under stable currency and
with a balanced budget are revived.
there will be demonstrated the ca
pacity Of Germany to pay. The basic
and controlling facts Will then ap-
pear. Any common sense individual
can estimate the distance we'll man
can run. Fifty medical experts gath
ered around the bedside of dying
patient will give fifty estimates Of
how far he can run II he gets we'll.
The reparation commission and the
world upon the question OF Germany'S
capacity to pay, have been listening
thus far to the medical experts. Let
us first help Germany to get we'll.
Now that we are members of a
Committee having a definite and au-
thoritatively defined object in view
we are less concerned for the moment
with the present capacity of Germany
TO pay than with the present capac-
ity and courage of this committee to
act. What Is the use OF deferring
plain statement or for this committee
to waste time In formalities and
meaningless courtesies and conven-
ttonalities?
Let me make thus early one prac-
tical suggestion. Under President
Harding / established q system Of
executive control set up by executtr n
order under which the first budget
Of the United States was prepared
in accordance with our recent budget
legislation. I hesitate to call myself
an expert on budget matters. lest I
put my reputation for common sense
undor suspicion, but how could any
one. expert or non-expert. suggest
anything worth while about the Ger
man budget II the money collected
through taxes and dispersed under
the budget would not buy or pay for
anything?
Tho first step which We should
take. 1t seems to me. Is to devise a
system of stabilizing Germany's cur
rency so we can get some water to
run through the budget mill. Let
US build the mill after We find the
stream to turn its wheels"

If we take the gineral average

they're voluble on some things,

plus of brains.
I wouldn't do injestice to the

While logging is going on in the northern
woods, the same work is under way in the great
pine forests of the south. Only here conditions
are different. Sometimes lumber crews must
labor deep in mire and mud-fighting off ma
laria and mosquitoes as best they can-to lay
low the giant pines for market.

tiers having to do with the hazardous job Of
transporting logs to the mill by the water route.
1t is thrilling story in which daring men hold
the center of interest
Wherever lumber camps are located-in
the north, south or west in mountains or among
the swamps-their mission is the same: to pro-
vide the sinews for the building of American

A Job for Real Mer,

Work in lumber camp requires skill as
we'll as strength and endurance. There is moth
ing of child's play about tackling forest giant
and making the cut so accurately that it will
fall along the exact line intended. When
tree is ready to topple, the call of timber is
heard and then the monarch crashes to earth,
retaining its majesty even in the fall
Then comes the task of cutting the tree
into logs and hauling the logs to the mill, river
bank or railroad track, as the case may be. In
recent years mechanical ingenuity has come to
play an important part in handling the heavy
logs for their journey to the mill. You see the
odd spectacle of train laying its own track
ahead as it moves and caterpillar trucks and
tractors plugging ahead, disdainful of topo-
graphical hindrances.
