of commerce, spread himself as the old

Mr.. Roper had the figures to prove 1t,
too. Factory employment has gone up by
such and such a percentage, factory pay
rolls 0y some other percentage, retail sales
by still third percentage, and so on.
Add it all up and you do seem, as Mr..
Roper insists, to get total which reflects
a rising tide of wealth.
But before we get calluseS on our Shout
der blades from patting ourselves on the
back over all this, it might be sound for us
to sit down and figure out just what we are
going to do with all this money-f, as, and
when we get it.

Questions like these grow tiresome, Oh

You are something that is more than

Peter became very personal, indeed.

big as one of Farmer Browns horses,

Peters eyes were not playing him
tricks, and after day or two he be-
came accustomed to seeing this big
neighbor and curiosity prompted him
to ask questions. Il suppose" he ven
tured at last, that you Travelled a

II suppose I did" replied Flathorns.
If hadn't wouldn't be here"
did you come down from the Great

"I came from the Vast Wilderness
beyond the Great Mountain" replied
Flathorns, and far-away look came
into his eyes as he stood staring
across the pond of Paddy the Beaver
as if seeing that distant home in the
Vast Wilderness.
Wnat is Cne vast WlQerneSS!
asked Peter.
Flathorns was so slow in answering
that Peter was just ready to ask the
question again. THE Vast Wilder
ness Is like the Green Forest, only
many, many. many times larger. 1t
is so big that it contains big lakes
and many ponds. Big rivers flow
through it and there are little streams
like the Laughing Brook without

homes there, but come only to cut
the trees or to hunt and fish and trap.
If it were not for these the Vast Will
derness would be what it once was

Peter thought this over for few
minutes. Then he remarked sagely:
