ADVENTURE OF

Doctor Bill had some very queer

Twins were very busy helping him to
make splints for broken legs and

birds came together.

kind little bird doctor. Are you on
sightseeing trip, or did you come
to see a sick friend?"

up one little bird. Were hurt"
Hurt" exclaimed Doctor Bill in
surprise. ''All of you? Hurt! What

bird simply.

Whose roof? Where do you live?'
"Our roof" answered the little
bird. 81 know it sounds funny. but
we all live under one roof, about two

WHEAT PROTEIN

Basng the value of Wheat upon its protein test may
upset the system of grading in vogue Much heard
about the federal system of grading wheat. Some
states able to control to certain extent the grain bust
but generally speaking there great discomfort
the farmers because of the vast spread between what he
actually gets for his product and what is finally paid for
by the ultimate consumer
That day probably far distant when the farmer
through simple testing apparatus through labora
tories at county seats ascertain the protein content of
his wheat and insist upon selling on that basis.
California has made great progress in the study of the
protein test for wheat Some interesting literature has been
from that state in the grain trade

1T CAN'T BE FORCED
(St Paul Dispatch)

tSt. Paul Dispatch)
The dream of the more sparsely
settled regions of the Northwest
has been for years summarized in
the slogan: "A settler on every
quarter section" 1t is revived
again by NJ. f. Murphy, a we'll
known pioneer of Grand Forks,
himself owner Of 28O quarter sec
items of land. He sees the North
west supporting much greater
population than it now sustains,
by the introduction Of diversified
and intensive farming, which by
its nature shall not cause OVer-pro-
duCtiOn of wheat, but will on the
other hand create a greater number
of consumers Of both agricultural
and industrial products.
TO this end, he would have the
Northwestern states go into the
work Of securing immigration by
an advertising policy similar to
that adopted by the Canadian
provinces. This, he thinks, would
draw more foreign farmers here.
The state governments Of most
of the Northwestern states have
maintained, at no little cost, de-
partments of immigration by
which facts relative to the fertil-
ity Of the soil, cost of land, prod
ucts to be raised, climatic con-
dtions and character of settle
ments have been broadcast. The
result has been too slow in re-
turns to suit men justly enthusi-
astic over the possibilities OF
the region, such as Mr.. Murphy.
He wants more striking and
spectacular invitations used.
But population growth is not
subject to dollhouse treatment.
The infiltration of settlers is like
the growth of good tree, mat
ter of time. The vacant spaces
filled up according t. pressure
from Cver-populons centeis. Hur-
ny probably would do more harm
than good.

we live in Africa" said the little
bird. We live differently from most
birds. We make nests for each Of
our families just like robins or spar
rows do, but a lot of US build in the
same tree.
Then over the top of the tree we
build a great matched roof of grass.
We all work together and it takes a
long time, but when We get it fin
ished, it looks grand. Just exactly
like cottage where people live! We
slope it down the sides and leave it
high in the middle, so that it keeps
off both sun and rain. Indeed, it
looks like a great umbrella"
"Well, declared" said Doctor Bill.
"And is that the roof you are talking
about 2"
Yes, that's it," nodded the little
bird. "Or it was, should say. You
see, this year when we went back to
our nests, there were some more
weaver-birds with US. So by the time
they got their nests finished the roof
was not quite big enough to cover
everybody.
$50 we all got to work and made
the roof bigger. 1t looked simply
fine-the biggest roof in the whole
neighborhood. After working so hard
we all went to bed to get good
| nights rest, when crash! bang! We
thought the sky had fallen and
| brought the stars and moon with it.
1T was our lovely roof" went on
the weaver bird sadly. 1T got too
heavy and took tumble. 1t also
took all our nests with it. All our
eggs got broken and some of oul
wings and legs. Indeed l think that
it is a miracle we didn't break oul
necks. Can you fix US up, Doctor
Bill?
"Certainly," said Doctor Bill kind.

get the big jar of salve. And bring
out some drinking water and big
dish of bird seed"
This looks like the right plac &c, ,

Thank you'll" chirped all the littl.
weaver birds happily.

by the familiar process Of paying it
| ourselves.
Europe Can Pay When We Pay For
Something Else
Once more comes widely pub
lished "refutation" of the argument
that these foreign debts can be paid
only in goods. We sell more to Eu-
rope than Europe sells to US. And
yet Europe, with no exchangeable
money to do it with, somehow pays.
The explanation is that, besides
importing goods, we export money.
Some of it we loan, to be invested
abroad; some Of it we give, in immi-
grants remittances to relatives; but
most of it we spend, in freights in
foreign ships, and in the expendi-
lures of American tourists abroad.
So we may be paid back, still in
our own money, but not all in mon
ey that we paid for imported goods.
This proves only that goods"
must be taken to include services,
and to coser goods and services to
Americans abroad, as we'll as to
those at home. There are "invisible"
as we'll as visible exports and i'm.
ports. 1t refutes only too narrow
use Of the word.
But the conclusion still remains.
Europe can pay US only in our own
money, which we have first paid Eu-
rope for something, or sent as gift.
Including the invisible with the visi-
BILE exchanges. Europe can pay US
only in kind, by selling US, in goods
or services, delivered to our people,
for our money, in America or in Eu-
rope, more than we sell to Europe.
international debts can be paid in
money only to the, extent that they
are first paid in something else To
whatever extent we are unwilling to
be paid in this way, we are forbid
ding ourselves to be paid at all.

Half Of Half Still Leaves Us at Zero
The same day come reports that
France considers turning over half
its Dawes plan receipts to its credit
ors, and that there may be no such
receipts. Half Of zero is zero, and
our half of that is zero, so we would
continue to get exactly what we
have been receiving.
OF course, it may not turn out to
be so bad. At least a considerable
part of the Dawes plan payments
will be turned in to the allied col
lector, in Berlin. The difficulty is
in francs, pounds or dollars, for
France or it's creditors.
That can be done only to the ex-
tent Of the export trade balance of
Germany, which is, so far, unsatis-
factory. Doubtless, in due time, that
balance will improve. Germany will
export more goods to America than
it buys Of US, buy francs with the
dollars it receives for the difference,
and pay France.

lars. SO we shall be paid, in part,
