AUSTRIA AND BERVIA r n»c pressure of the Slav from the east working westward upon the Ten ton striving to bar his path to the sea hgn nt last resulted In »i declaration of war the end of which Is In the ahtouricri hands of the gods. The thrill of fear which grips the heart of *hc civilized world as the armies of the Dual Monarchy prepare to cross the frontier and fall upon the already wfH wearied Serh, Is Justified For no on • knows whether the rncial sympathy who’ll Russia feels for the Rlavto na thins fiver which she assumes to lie the protector will drive her Into the field. In th»« event of such action no one knows whether the ties which hind <3#rmatiy and Italy to Austria Into the Triple Alliance are strong enough to arouse their armies to action. Judging from thw figure ftarvtn 1* doomed Her fighting strong!h on pa p«» lx a uami.v of .126,000 mxn. The army of the Auitro* Hungarian Empire number* 2,000,000. Hut ther«* hto qual ifying factor* which would aeein to atrongthcn Hrrvlti and weaken Aus tria. In the first place the lietero genaoua character of the Austro-Hun garian population must he taken into roniddoratlon. There ta a large Slavic population along the border, and Bos nia and Herzegovina, aei/.ed by Aus tria only recently, are themselves Ser vian states gutTisoned by a conquer ing army and held by the armed hand. What proportion of the Asutrtal nnny is Slavic and what part of this por tion ran be depended upon to fight their brothers? , THE PARCEL POST While the parcel post lias been made \»*e of In many lines, the government Is manifestly disappointed that the farmers have not mors generally uti lised H in marketing their products. The "Farmers* Bulletin." Just issued by the department of agriculture, seems disposed to put the blame on the farmers for the failure of the par cel post to aid actively in doing away with the middleman and bringing pro ducer and consumer together to the advantage of both. The department of has co-operated with the poatoffiee department in Investigating the dlsap|Mdntingly small expansion which has taken place in the parcel post eervlce us far as taking produce from the farm to the town or city Is concerned The '‘Farmers' Bulletin" aa>s that the farmers ask prices "higher" even than those exacted by th fancy retail stores in the cities It warns the farmers that, "as a method of marketing, the parcel post will suc ceed only in such measure as it a.- eoinplishes more efficiently and eco nomically the functions performed by the numerous middle interests of the present system." According to the Bulletin, the farmers have not grasped their opportunity, and It hints that city customers are often dissatisfied with the produce sent bv the fanners which ihey have no chance to examine and Tcje» t whn ft comes by post Quite likely this Is true in som* cases, for there are customers whom the market men find exceedingly hard to suit, and who habitually complain of price and quality, while making free to express suspicions as to quan tlty. In the matter of complaints it Is fair to assume that the farmer who attempts to plesse a city customer by parcel post only gets for bis trouble what every market man Is mote or less hardened to. and the department of agriculture ia going far out of its way to insult the farmers of the country «p Its effort to help the poatoffiee depart ment explain why there has not been a rush to do the marketing of farm products through the medium of the parcel post The truth of the matter is that the development of su* h a busi ness is slow There must be a growth «*f confident «* on both sides which can cglv come through Individual expert ence When a farmer comes to know what a customer wants, and the cus tomer learns by experience that be can depend upon the farmer, the two will do I usiness together when ft Is to their advantage to do so And that Is all ther |g to ll of the "Farmers* Bulletin" notwlth standing. DRUBILLA'B TRIP (Continu'd) That night when the house was oulet DriJMllia called very softly to Hobby Jon**, and he did not need a second invitation to hear the rest ol I>rußiila's story. He popped out f hi* hog with h bound that nearly tip* ped It over. * I never hefor# realised how much that nurse dialll ■ d me. but she found out that she could not get my little mother to go anywhere without me, and what do von suppose she did?" asked Drtjsilla. Hobby shook his head "Khe took »my little mother to a place where they hmke dolls," an nounced Drusllla. "We went In a train a long way from where we had that first break when the rest of the family went on a trip that nurse said. 'I will take you where thty make dolls and I guess you will want to leave that old creat ure when you see all the beautiful dods we shall ae.' “And she tried to make my little hu&ged Tight 4® mother leave me at home, but she wouldn’t, and I went along. Bobby Jones, I never knew there were so many dolls as big us my little mother and as small ns u* -as you, yes, smaller." "Mercy!" exclaimed Bobby, "didn't you feel little beside the big one" "Of course L didn't," said Drusllla "I was In my 111 tie mother's arms and that made me look down on all-of them. Hut some of them had Just beautiful hair and eyes that opened and shut with real eyelashes Hnd some of them could walk, too. “And some of them said 'Pape and Mamma' and then one doll sang a song. She was very handsome, and sh.i walked about while she was singing." "My." said Bobby Jones, "I should have thought your little mother would have wanted one of those wonderful creatures." “Well, that is just the part I was THE WAYS OF THRIFT (Copyright, 1914. American Society for Thrift.) Two of the Straus prizes awarded by the American Society for Thrift for theMiest stories illustrating gardening thrift went to the Jefferson School m Fond tlu Lao, Wis. The competition Was open to public school children hi •he 6th to Bth gradea. inclusive There wfto fifteen opportunities to he prize winners, all to receive memberships. The first prize was S2O; tHe four rated second best were each $5 and the ten rated third best were each sl, or in each case the equivalent in books on gardening, agriculture or thrift. The first and second prizes were won by Mildred Smith and Eleanor Smith, respectively The following ex tract from letter of Miss Elizabeth Nugent, prln ipal of the Jefferson school, to President S. VV. Straus of the American Society for Thrift throws some light In the second sentence on the rather peculiar circumstances that two prizes went to tills school In com petition with the chilifron all over the country. "Perhaps you would he interested in knowing the manner in which 1 conducted the exercises of the writ ing of the stories. The two Smith girls (not relatives) wore members of my seventh grade grammar and Eng lish class. Thrift is something in which we are very much interested In our school building, consequently when we heard of the contest we were very much interested. After discussing thrift in its vari ous aspects; especially ’Thrift shown in Gardening.’ we took one class period to write on the subject. I was very glad of the opportunity of hav ing such an Interesting topic on which to write, for children do much better work and with much less effort when Interested When the two girls received their letters asking whether they wanted the money prises or books* 1 had all the pupils in the class answer letters to you as if each one had recalved the prise. Then later when the money came. I had eath one write a thank you letter. You aee what a good op portunity you afforded me for th*' teaching of letter writing, real letter writing. • Mildred Smith ta the daughter of the superintendent of schools In th* city, a very, very bright girl in every* study. Eleanor Rmtth Is a very sen sitive child. The five dollars will b.* a great help to W*r. When she read her letter saving she received one of the prises, she cried for Joy. "We have a Thrift Society at our school and l will tell you a little about It The amount of paper that ts wast ed by pupils in the public schools Is enormous. 1 saw the waste and de termined to do something to atop It. Instead of crumpling up the paper and throwing It into the waste basket. 1 have the pupils, when t*oth aides of the paper Is uaed. lay it in the basket in piles I sometimes look It over, to aee If every particle of space is uaed for scratch work in Arithmetic. When the basket is full, the pile of paper Is tied up and put away for sale. We get *oc a 100 Iha for it from our local Junk dealer Ktttcs I have tried thl* plan we use only about a quarter of the paper w e previously did. Another coming to," said Drusillg, “That nurse said to her. Don't you want one of these dolls to take home with you? and she put one of the big dolls close to my little mother, who took it In her arms. Then the nurse took me a** though she was going to hold me Whi. * my little mother held the big doll, and Just itn soon n.« mv little mother w• - interested in the big doll that nursa ►aid to the man who owned Crte a:.up Here, you take this doll and put it out of Might. We have been trying to get her to have a new doll for a long time, but she will not give up thiH old thing.' "I whk pretty wcil frightened, I cfvi tell you, Bobby Jones, when that man took me and put me on a shelf back of a pile of legs and arms, and I wondered If he was going to cut off min* and put them with those I saw. "That nurse kept talking to my lit tie mother, and they made the nev: doll Hay 'papa' and ‘mamma,’ and thai nurse »ald, *W> will go to the ahopa and get her a hat and shoes and stock • Ings.’ She never once said a thing a boil t a dress, am! that doll only had on a thin white slip; but that is Just like the nurse; she never once thought of that poor doll crossing the ocean and being cold; all seh thought of was something that would be pretty. Well, she got my little mother out of the store, and there I lay. trembling with fear, I had given up all hope, when the door was opened and in came that nurse, leading my little mother by the hand. "Bhe was crying and screaming I want my doll; where is my poor Dru sllla, I want her. I don’t want that great bll doll; I cant hold her in my arms and love her.’ "That nurse was trying to make her stop, but she cried all the louder, and at last the man had to take me out from behind the legs and arms. "You should have seen my littl* mother’s face w’hen she saw me; she stopped crying and ran toward the man smiling through her tears and saying, ’You darling, nrusilb* you was most scared to death, wasn’t you?’ Then she hugged me so tight In her arms that I was afraid 1 should burst. But I can tell you, Bobby Jones. I was Just as glad to see her as she was glad to see me, only I did not sa.V anything before that nurse. I would not let her know I cared a bit.’ Bohbv Jones waited a minute, but Drusllla was nodding, and he kne* the story was ended. "You certainly did have a narrow escape.” he remarked, “but that you had an adventure and a little fright does not matter, does it?" “Of course not," answered Drusllla, “T Just could not live without having an adventure once in a while. Good night, Bobby Jones." (Copyright. 1914, by the McClure News paper Syndicate.) Tomorrow’s story—" The Little Gold K'y” thing I would like to toll you Is that 62 per cent of my pupils this current year have savings accounts in the banks, some others have money out on mortgages. &LEEMM Stales TINY.. (By Virginia Vale.) Once upon a time Tiny, the littlb field tnouae ran away and would have been lost if his father had not happen ed along just then and fotlnd him. Tiny thought then he would never go away from his home again but it was not long before he began to wish he could see something besides his home. He thought. I will go for a little walk and this time I will be very care ful and see Just how to get back. He lay down and soon was fast asleep. Now Tiny didn't know that he had been talking out loud and that his mother had heard all his plans for going out to see the w'orld. While he was sleeping she very carefully tied a strong thread around his neck and kept the end in her hand. W hen Tiny woke he was rested and felt Just like starting out on his trip that he had planned so carefully. His mother smiled as he started out am! as he went she unwound the thread. Tiny walked along nibbling at the corn and young leaves as he went. A fat squirrel was sitting on a tree eat ing an acorn. Tiny said very politely: "Good morning. 1 am out to see the world Fan you tell me what to see." "Ye*," said the squirrel. "There is lots to set* but you better take my ad vice. Go home and wait until you are older." "I am quite old enough now." said Tiny, "and I think l will go right on." He walked along until he came to the edge of a pond. A frog was sitting on a big log sunning himself. When he saw Tiny he said: "Hello, are you coming in the water.”’ Of course Tiny didn’t know that the frog could swim und he couldn’t, so he answered: "1 guess so" The frog gave a leap and in he went. Silly* Tiny was going to follow when h# felt a tug at his neck. "My what waq that ?" He atarted to go on but he couldn’t. He had to back up. Of course he did not know that his mother thought he had been gone long enough and she was pulling the thread and as he walk ed was winding it up in a little bail. All Tiny knew was that he had to keep walking backwards, for u he stopped something pulled and hurt his neck When he did reach his home there sat his mother with the little hall of thread in her hand and she pulled him up into her lap and said "Tiny when are you going to be good and not run away ?** "f never will run away again," said Tiny.
