as he saw Buster Bear walk up TO that
blueberry bush and begin to strip off
the berries. He had had all he could
do to keep from laughing right out
when Buster had felt the first sting
and slapped the smarting ear. Then
things had happened SO fast, just as
Reddy had hoped that they would
happen, that he rolled on the ground
for JOY. Yes, sir, he had done just
that.
When at last Buster Bear had taken
to his heels TO get away from those
angry WaspS, Reddy had come out
from his hiding place with a broad
grin on his SLY face. Il guess that
from now on Buster Bear will keep
away from the Old Pasture thought
Reddy happily. That was a clever
trick of mine. Yes, sir. that was a
clever trick of mine. My. but those
waSpS were mad,
He stood still with one paw raised
to listen to the sound of crashing
brush growing fainter and fainter as
Buster got farther and farther away.
He was still grinning. Suddenly he
jumped right up in the air and yelped.
1t seemed as if a red hot needle had
been thrust into one of his black ears.
Before he fully realized what had
happened he felt another sharp, sting
ing pain and another and another
Those stings were in his face and
head. First with one black paw and
then with the other he rubbed his
face. Then his paws seemed to be
full of red hot needles.
That was no place for Reddy Fox.
With a bound he took to his heels
You should have seen him go. Per-
haps he could have run faster. but
doubt it. All the time he was whim-
pering and yeiping, and every now
and then he felt new pain to make
him yelp a little louder.
Now what had happened was this:
Most of those Wasps had taken after
Buster Bear, but not all of them.
Some of them had been flying about,

BY JEAN NEWTON.

To "botch things up is to spoil. to

derivation. ...
'Botch" was originally noun and

Retribution.

Every one nho mischief makes.
-OLD MOTHER NATURE.

Do not be afraid of that big word
-retribution. 1t means simply that
those who do wrong or get into mis-
chief have to pay for it. Sooner or
later they have to pay for it. Per-
haps you will understand better just
what it means when you read about
what happened to Reddy Fox.
You remember how Reddy wanted
to drive Buster Bear out of the Old
Pasture. and how cleyerly he planned
to get Buster into trouble with the
wasns. who had their great, gray,
paper castle in certain blueberry
bush. Everything had worked out
as he had hoped it would. BY chas-
ing his tail he had aroused Buster
Bears curiosity and gradually led
him over to the bush in which was
the castle of the wasps. Then he had
hidden close by to watch what would
happen.

BIG MEN IN SMALL TOWNS

Newton, Iowa, is typical
small town. II is like some
eight or ten thousand other COM
munities. Most people would
have to look it up in a railroad
guide to learn its location.
But almost everyone has heard
of +. l.. Maytag-the man who
put the Maytag Washer on the
market. He is a living proof of
the fact that you do not have to
20 to the big city to find success.
He began his career on a farm
home in Iowa. Later he clerked
in a hardware store. engaged in
a threshing enterprise. and ex.
hibited activity in many other
lines of business.
Then. as a side line, he went
in business, manufacturing a bant

cutter and feeder for threshers.
This brought trouble. Success
did not reward the promoters at
the time. and a crop failure,
years ago. caused shutting off
Of credit which nearly ruined the
enterprise.
But Maytag-like all men Of
purpose and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ed his ability best in the face of
adversely. By sheer pluck, de-
termination and faith in the bust
ness he raised enough money to
tide the enterprise over this
period. II grew finally slowly,
but surely.
Then came new difficulties.
The device would not take care
of the unusually heavy straw in
the Northwest. Changes had to
be made. Then competition APP
peared, and there was nothing to
do but buy out the competitor at
a tremendous price.
This marked the beginning of
Maytag's career. 1t came at a
time when most men would have
given up all new ideas and have
turned back to a straight, sure
bread and butter job.
Electro washers we're going on
to the market. Maytag looked
out over the country and saw
that this would create a demand
for power washers where no
electric current was available.
So he conceived the idea of de-
veloping a washer run by a small,
two cycle gasoline engine. But
no such small motor had been
successful before, and it was gen.
orally predicted that he would
ruin the nice little business he
had built up.
But these prophets were
wrong. His vision was clear.
Only few years from that time
the washer became the import
ant product of his factory.
II is the old story of success in
a little different way. He saw
a great need and set about to full
fill it. Today he is known from
coast to coast.
Thus the small town did not
stand in the way of his success.
Quite to the contrary it probably
made it possible. For had he
lived all his life in the city, it is
not probable that he would have
discovered the need for a power
washer in the farm homes.

ABOUT PRIMARIES

The question has been raised
why a person should not be al
lowed to vote for candidates on
any party ticket at the primaries.
The primary election simply
takes the place of the old con-
vention and is nothing more than
placing candidates in nomination.
For instance in by-gone days
when the Democrats had their
conventions il could hardly be
expected that they should allow
Republicans to assist them in
choosing candidates and likewise
when the Republicans had their
conventions il was only natural
that Republicans did the choos-
ing of candidates to head their
tickets. And so it is today, when
the Farmer-Labor party tries TO
select the best men for each of
the Offices where there are con-
tests it is only natural that those
in sympathy with Farmer-Labor
principals help do the selecting.
Likewise with Republicans and
Democrats.
Assuming that the best men
have been picked from each par
ty at the primaries then the final
tilt comes in the fall when the
names of candidates from the
various parties are all placed on
one ballot and the ballot can be
marked as the voter sees At, Sc
Letting men from any of the par
ties.
Some have said that a man
must show color" at the pri-
maries when he calls for certain
ballot. True. But did man
not show much more color when
he attended a convention in the
pastY As long as we have party
politics, do not see how that |
can be prevented. Further, a
person should not vote in a way
that he would like to cover up
entirely.
The difference between the
convention system of nomination
and the primaries is that the lat
ter comes closer to the people
but color" will have to be shown
in either case. There are argu-
ments both for and against the
primaries but one thing is sure
and that is that they are not so
apt to be boSs-ruled and il gives
a better chance for the candidate
who is not in with the convention
gang,
