that successful men accumulate
before they know what it's all

lost beside big, busy Fred. Does
he even notice she's there?
Probably not, he's so taken
with many outside interests,
outside friends.
Yet he'd probably grieve over
her If she went. Or, at least,
he'd grieve over the memory of
what they had once. Someone
who knew them when they
were young, tells me that Fred
was crazy over Emily when
they were first married. He
w4.s just starting his practice
then-they were very poor, but
wonderfully happy. He'd bring
her a cheap, little bunch of
flowers every Saturday night or
a box Of chocolates. She'd have
surprises for him. Strawberry

a necktie, made from an old
silk gown. He'd make a great
fuss over the surprises-and
her foolish, fond LITTLE face

Can Render q Service
BY Explaining Its Plan
The alleged plan calls for the
expenditure of a vast sum of
money, raised by taxing great
wealth to the extent of half it's
income, on school and road con-
Struction. It has been urged
that as much as five billions
be raised on a prosperity loan
to be spent largely in this very
way.
We have understood that
great wealth is opposed to this
loan; but with General Buffers
group this, evidently, is not
true. However, the plan pro-
videS for subsidies out of the
money raised for infant indus
tries"
What infant industries?"
We have heard the Steel Trust,
the Aluminium Company, and
similar highly protected indus
tries described as infant" ur-
til we are all a bit skittish about
the word.
IF this group really exists,
and Of course it does unless the
general has been miSunde derstood.

dent or congressional leaders
who will have to take cog
nizance of the economic crisis

From his retirement, Gen.

ists'' for dealing with the eco.
nomic situation.
He claims to have been in
vited into a conference with
these men, il Of whom control
more than five billions Of dol
lars. The purpose of the confer
ence was to discuss means of
ending the unemployment crisis.
and to equalize the distribution
of wealth.
And these men are reported
to have said that they are ready
to give up so per cent Of their
incomes If necessary, but only
if the administration Of the re-
lief fund thus set UP would be
placed in the hands Of an extra
governmental agency"
IF they are willing to give up
half their incomes to create a
relief fund, it would not be nee.
essary for Government to have
anything to do with it at all.
They could create an enor-
nous private fund and could
choose their own administrator
without reference to Govern
ment.
If il men who control five bill
lion dollars are willing to give
up, not half their incomes, but
a generous part. to the purpose
of relieving the unemployment
situation, there would be no
reason why any one should
starve this winter: starve or die
slowly from lack of adequate
and proper food. "

Filter Goes to Sleep.
Each lives his own peculiar way.
And which Is better who shall say7
old Mother Nature.

You should have seen the expression
on Mother Browns face when Farmer
Browns Boy lifted Filter the Bat out
Of big can up in the attic. She had
opened her mouth to say that he
couldn't possibly have made the noises
which she had been so sure we're made
by mice when Filter began to do some
talking on his own accord. He had a
lot to say, and said it. but, of course,
no one but another bat could have
understood him. It was certain, how
ever, that he was much upset and was
scolding about it. But his squeaky
chittering was the very sound that
Mother Brown had first heard. Then
Farmer Browns Boy put him back IN
the big can, and at once there was the
sound of tiny claws scratching. There
was a piece of paper on the bottom of
the can, and when Filter crawled
across it and tried to climb up the in
side of the can, which, of course, he
couldn't do, those little claws of his
made that scratching sound
well, I never!" exclaimed Mother
Brown.
IT didn't think it was MICE" said
Farmer Browns Boy.
well, 1 don't know but would as
soon have mice as bats" declared
Mother Brown. How under the sun
did he get in that can? Here 1t is Mid
winter and who would expect to find a
bat in Midwinter? Where under the
sun has he been all this time and what
has he lived on?"
Farmer Browns Boy chuckled. HE
got into this attic last Fall" said he,
"and probably hung himself up to one
Of the rafters to sleep all Winter. On
one of those warm days he awoke.
Probably he was only half awake and
let go his hold on the rafter and
dropped into that can. Then he
couldn't get out, for he couldn't climb
the sides and he couldn't use his wings.
Every warm day he would awake and
scold and try to get out. It Is all very
simple when you know the facts. He
hasn't lived on anything but air, but
suspect that If he was to stay awake
very long he would need food. He
doesn't need any when he Is hibernat-
ing"
Information is big word, but has a
very simple meaning. It means sleep,
the long, strange sleep In which certain
little people Of the Green Forest and
the Green Meadows pass the long, cold
months. There are several who do this,
you know. Johnny Chuck is one.
Farmer Browns Boy once more picked
up Filter.
"See those little teeth" said he, for
Filter had his mouth open. "They are
so small that doubt If he could bite
through the skin Of my finger If he
tried
well, I don't like him, so put him
outdoors, and we'll set this attic to
rights" said Mother Brown.
"You don't mean that" replied
Farmer Browns Boy FILTER can't live
outdoors this weather."

Mother Brown. THAT would be cruel.
But what will you do with him?

"You won't have to. I'll take him
