I do wish the people who make geographies would make Sll the maps of countries on the same scale. These maps give me a wrong idea of the size of some of the countries." It was Ruth talking, and, in jsply, Jack exclaimed: "The figures prove that I was right, whatever the maps look like." "What's the discussion abput?" inquired Uncle Tbd, looking up from the paper he was reading as hpt sat deep, Jn the cushions of a big easy chair. "Teacher was telling my class today about s<yhe of the changes in the geography because of the war," responded Jack, "and I was pust now telling Ruth about the big colonies SinEgland got in Africa. She wouldn't feelievc me when I told her that one of these colonies alone is as' big as all our Southern states East of the Mississipi pi River, and sometime will be juse about as valuable. I proved it to her |>y the figures in the encyclopedia. "That's fine, Jack, I'm glad you have learned how to use the encyclopedia. You can't carry all kinds ofl information in your head, but you can find nearly everything in a good encyclopedia, and it's a good thing to form the habit of looking things. up when a question arises like thai you and Ruth have been discussing. You won't forget the facts you have learned in this way." "Then too," continued Uncle Ted, "I'm glad this discussion came up, for it will make you interested in' some futherfacts concerning the treaty of peace and the relations between the United States and the countries that went to war with Germany. If you think you'd be interested, I'll tell you a few things that are just now receiv-" lag a good deal of attention from thej big men of this country." "Go ahead, Uncle Ted," exclaimed Ruth. "I don't like to have Jack beat me out in a dispute, but I'm glad he told me some, 'things I don't know What is it the big men of the countrj are talking abftut?" "Well, jf's like this," answered Uncle Ted. . "Ypu know the war was originally a European war growing out of the commercial rivalries of European nations. In the beginning we bad no, direct interest in it, but it- became our business to get into the war when it was apparent that Germany* Intended to sink our ships in violation of international law. After we entered the war it became apparent that the Allies were out of money and supplies,. so we lofffied-the various nations different sums amounting in all to about $10,000,000,000. Nearly half of this vast sum we loaned to Great Britain, and she made loans to some of the other countries. The United States did not have the money in its treasury to loan to the Allies, so it borrowed money from its own people by selling them bonds. The people of the United States supplied the money and they must eventually pay the bonds through taxation, except to . the extent that the Allies repay the money we loaned them. > "Now, just to give you a general Idea of the situation and without dealing in exact figures, but figures that are approximately correct, the United States raised for war purposes about $35,000,000,000 of which about $10,000,000,000 .was raised by taxes and $25,000,000,000 by sale of bonds and other evidences of debt. We are still indeWt more than $24,000,000,000, but the Allies owe us about $10, 000,000, 000. Some time ago Great Britain made a suggestion to the United States that we cancel the debt of $10,000,000,000 the Allies owe us. Of course, if *we canceled the debt, that would mean that the people of the United States who pay taxes would have to pay the $10,000,000,000,

for the United States- has its bonds out for that amount which we raised ! to loan to the Allies. The additional j burden would fall upon all the people 1 of the countrj-, for, although lots of people do not pay. any income tax, or I any other kind of a tax, directly, yet ■ they pay the tax Indirectly when they ' buy gcods, for of course taxes are figured in as part of the cost of doing the Allies pay their $ 10,0"0,006,000 people in the United States, so you can easily "figure out that if we 'cancel the debt of the Allies, it willmean, on an average, placing an additional debt of $90 on .every man, woman and child in the country, or $450 for every head of a family." "I don't think that would be right or fair" interrupted Jack. "Even il the All'®s pay their 010,000,000,00< loan, this country will still have t ldebt of about $14,000,000,000 to pay won't it?" > "Yes, that's right, Jack. The wai will cost us about $25,000,000,000 without counting the interest, even ii the Allies pay their debt. The interest : will probably amount to more than the pripcipal, by the time it is paid." "That's interesting," Ruth intervened. "But what's all those big fig- , ures got to do with this map Jack was , showing me?" , "Just this, Ruth; You see, when the [ war was over, the Allies made a ' treaty of peace with Germany and took a lot of territory away from her. , Jack's teacher was telling his class about it today, and Jack was telling 5 you. France "was given a big chunk ' off to one side of what used to be . Germany, and Is.to get a lot of money , as reparation, or what we would call , damages, in ordinary Bbsipess. I think France up entitled to a loY mor>: than she wilr get. Then Great Britain gets , the German colonies in Africa, that [ Jack has been telling you abput. He , is right about the size nnipvalue of . , Ahe ' colonies. German .East Africa 5 is about the size Of the Southeastern p corner of the United States, East of 'i the Mississippi River and -from the ' Potomac River to the Gulf. And in p richness of resources it is no less . valuable. German Southwest Africa is about the size of Texas ana Okls- , homa combined, and probably about as . rich in ultimate resources'. By means ' of'her control of railroads and ports, , Great Britain will control practically . all the industry and commerce of Af- , rica, the Richest undeveloped region in , the world. '* , "Now what 1 wanted to impress i upon your minds was that after get- . ting al Ithis rich territory in Africa, Great Britain ought not to expect the people of the United Sates to cancel P the debt Great Britain owes them. 'We . have not asked for anything from F Germany and we are willing to give > the Allies plentjspf time to pay their t debt to us, but we won't consent to i cancel the debt entirely."i <iWe certainly shouldn't," said Ruth. "Papa complains every year about the » taxes he has to pay, and I suppose it , is as j*ou say, he pays more taxes in 1 "the high prices he pays for things he £ has to buy. I hope they don't ini crease the taxes any oy giving anything to Great Britain." I "Not much danger, responded Uncle Ted. "After March 4 we are go-' - ing to have officers in chai-ge of this j government who will look- after our • own interests pretty closely." ?

He wants to assure the plain people that, notwlth- ' standing his gray* whiskers and strln : ■ halted legs, he's a four-horse team 1 with, a dog under the wagon, when ; It comes to athletic skill. "I was In the livery barn the other . evening when young Fretslnger be- . gan explaining that he had been tafe- , Ing boxing lessons from one of the old masters. He had learped all the • tricks of the game, and was Just suf1 ferlng agonies because there was no- ' body present who would stand up and- ; exchange scientific swats with him. . ' "In my younger days, if I do soy it ■ myself. I Was a star performer in ' the ordinary knock-down-ond-drag-o'ui 1 form of combat, but I never was worth | shucks at -boxing. Nobody knows that better than I do, Why. then, did I : Inform Fretslnger that I would be glad i to spar 'o few rounds with him? It , sureiy was vanity and nothing else. I had on Idea that, while he might 1 have plenty of the fancy stuff on hand. I might land one of ray old-time 1 haymakers: In which case I felt Bure - the town would soon be ringing with , the story of an old man's prowess. "So I took off my long Jlmswlnger coat and my .vest, and stood up for battle. If anybody tells you, my 1 friends, that Fretslnger doesn't knowhow to wield his hands, you may re1 gard the story as a roorback. 1 never ■ saw fists so numerous as on that oeca- , slon. I couldn't see anything else for . a while, and they landed on me In j many unexpected places, and I don't remember a time when I was so em- ? barrassed. 1 "Fretslnger explained afterward s that he merely tapped me gently be- • cause I was a venerable man, old , enough to be his grandfather. In that case I never want to heeome Involved In ah argument with him when he Is ' Jn earnest. I had a black eye for a - week after this recital, and my nose t has never sntlsfled me since. Every i time I came downtown, I had to ex- > plain to a thousand people that I blackened my eye while splitting kindling, or that I dropped a sad-iron on lt.

"But no sboner had my eye recovered than I was in trouble ngaln. I saw some young men wrestling, and paused to point out thnt they didn't know the rudiments of the game. I assured them that in my younger days j I was a holy terror, and I didn't think , that my hand had lost • Its cunning. ~ It would afforjl me genuine happiness, I said, to show them how wrestling was done "In the palmy days of Mul- ' doon and Whistler. "So I removed my coat and vest and - went Into executive session with a i husky young man who bad no respect for gray hairs. I am not sure about what followed, .but I think he , mnst , have thrown me over his head.

OPERATING THE INCUBATOR I i The incubator should be placed in a room or building which will keep it f I free from jarring or shocks as possi- i i ble. where theer will be an even temI perature as practical, plenty of ven- ( ' tilation and abundance of moisture. { /-A well built cella/ is an ideal place. j Jhere are two general types of incubators, the distinction is based on j- the manner in which the heat is supr plied the eggs. This is supplied in : two ways, directly by hot air from a i kerosene lamp and -ffy air heated by ■ coming m contact with a hot-water > tank over a kerosene lamp. For the | amateur, the incubator heated by the ( j first method is the better. A few days before putting in the { I eggs, the machine should be started, ( r to test its accuracy, see that it is prop-* y ' erly adjusted, that lamp and wick are | ' in good condition and to dry out the - t moisture. ] Care of the Lamp — Trim and , fill j r the lamp once each day. Don't fill the , - lamp too full. Leave a little air space ( i and scrape off the charred portion of j 1 the wick with a small piece of. woJxl j j or match each time itfsrfilled. Trim , wick With scissors ever three or four j > days. Each time after lighting the : t -lamp, watch it for a few minutes to » be sure that it is burning with a' steady flame. The temperature should be 1°S de- | grees Fahrenheit. This' should be ' maintained as. uniformly as possible? 'I . until last few days .of the hatch, . when it may be increased to 103.5 de- • grees, but not bveri#04 degrees. • Turining the eggs— On the evening ' of the third day begin turning the ' eggs, continue this each 'day, night |. and morning, until the evening of the '18th or 19th day, 'after which close ! the machine and do not open it until _ i the hatch is completed. 1 . The cooling of the eggs will take J place during the turning, during the I later part of the hatch, they may _be I cooled for several minutes, if room is I t not too cold. Eggs should be tested twice during ] 1 the h&tch, preferably on the seventh | and fourteenth days. Remove at each ( , testing eggs which denote dead, or , weak germs. ] Hatching— All chicks which are to ' hatch will probably be out at the beJ TEMPUS FUGITS ' Mrs. Stout: "How long did your last f cook stay?" { MVs.
