In the current Issue of Farm and Fireside, the national farm paper pub lished at Hprlngfleld, Ohio. Herbert Quick, editor of that publication, writ ing about the apple market, nays that people who are seeking to economize In war times should have their atten tion directed to the apple as a cheap and wholesome substitute for things which have gone up in price. Ho continues: "The organized apple growers should made an advertising campaign in the city papers. Tench the people the value of apples us a food. '• 'An apple a day keeps the doctor away,' It Is said, and there Is no doubt that this king of all fruits has great dietary value. "Co-operative buying clubs should be encouraged to buy and store apples while they are cheap." OF GREAT MERIT. We reach the conclusion that Ger many Is satisfied that such help ns is coming from America will not reach those of the ltelgians who are still re sisting her; that, practically, Amer ican citizens are relieving the conquer ors of the task of caring properly for those they hate vanquished, but cer tainly, this should deter no one In this country from trying to give com fort and relief to those who need It. Neutrality msy be strictly construed, but we do not Imagine that the "march of civilisation" has gone quite so far an to cut out kindness and brotherly love Americans want to help the Bel gians because they are suffering and need it. The call of human suffering and human love must be answered. If we construe these errands of merry as aid for or against Germany and ohould withhold further help on the ground of violating neutrality, we would be sutlty of violating a much higher and more Imperative law than the law of neutrality. THE NEUTRALITY PROBLEM. The New York World thinks there Is a derided problem In neutrality growing out of the efforts leans to extend relief to the starving and homeless inhabitants of that once happy and prosperous little land. "If we feed and clothe the Belgians us patriots, we prolong their defense and strengthen the allies. If we feed and clothe the Redglans as German cap tives. we relieve their conquerors of s mighty teak properly chargeable lo them by all the laws of war. What Is neutrality?" says The World. Count von Bernstorff has Informed the state department that the German government will not Interfere with the transportation to and distribution of relief supplies In Belgium, hut the question arises that Germany might have a well-founded reason for ob jecting If the efforts of Americans to give relief to the Belgiums could en sile them to make their last stands against the hostile army more pro longed. The World inks these ques tion*: When a great nation sets out to ex tinguish a small nation, are not those who attempt l>y the kindly ministra tions of charity to rescue the smalt nation acting In violation of neutral ity? Great Bn mm and France have gone to the support of Belgium with arms tn their hands. Is the United States, which appears with money, food, cloth ing and inedtea! supplies for a people fiercely hoattle to Germany, any the leaa an ally? AN INVESTIGATOR. Tha young man In tha bureau of In formation laid the railroad guide down and looked reproachfully at the woman who had turned In a volley of ques tions "Madam." he said, "you can't pos sibly taka all those trains you are ask ing about.” “I know It." ah* replied, serenely; "but as long as I dldn t have anything else to do I thought I'd Just see for myself how much you rMtlroad men really know about your business."

When |he did. he came up to Frnnk's desk ; and talked familiarly ns if nothing had happened. I "You have me all wrong, Frank; 1 wouldn’t try to harm Helen, Gome, now, let’s forget the whole thing. There's a new place Just opened around the corner where they make a dandy ’fizz"; let’s go get one." "All right. Paul," said Frank. "I'm willing to forget It. and as for the fizz', you're on, for 1 sure need a 'bracer' this morning." The next day being Sunday, Van Buran had Invited several persons > from the office to go out on his yacht to spend the day. Frank and Helen had been Included in the Invitation, \ but Frank didn't wish her to go. I When he asked her ts she was going Helen told him, "indeed l atu; 1 Just love boats, and we'll have a fine time.” ”1 would much rather you wouldn't go, Helen," said Frank, “but If you like the trip so much, i'll go along, 100. Just to keep you from being eaten I up by a shark." It was a lovely, warm day, with Just (enough breeze to make the big seven- Ity-foot yawl of Van Buren'a glide el- S lently through the water. In the af ternoon they anchored in a beautiful I little cove, put up the awnings, and Van Buren's Chines* stewards served ] lunch. Helen Just sipped a little AN UP TO-DATE PRAYER.

Frand did not drink at all, saying In a Joking way, "no, thanks. I'm on the wagon for a couple of days. Just for a rest." Van Buren looked at him musingly and told the boy to bring more cham pagne, which he was drinking in end less quantities. All through which he kept looking at Frank as If he were studying him It was getting on toward dusk, but Van Buren seemed In no hurry to start home and when Frank reminded him that the breeze usually died out toward night, he said. "Oh, well get back nil right." As they finally started and were lazing along In the moonlight. Frank, who had been standing out by the bow sprit, looking at the lights of the big city tn the distance, went back to see how Helen was getting on. As he came around the cabin. In the shadow of the mainsail, he saw two figures standing by the rati. As he was pass ing he heard Helen's voice say. "No, no: why do you spoil the whole day now. when you have been so nice all along?" This was accompanied with a little sob. Frank's hand shot out, grabbed the other figure by the collar and whirled him to the deck. Frank saw It was Van Buren and heard him say. "You'll pay for this. —.

GA. HANS AND THE OLD WITCH. Hans was a poor little shepherd and lived with his mother in a very little house on the side of a mountain. One morning his mother said to him: "Hans, my son, we are poorer than usual this year I will watch the flock Rnd you must go to the town and get work to do that you may earn money to take us through the winter.” So Hans kissed his mother good-hy and started out with a small bundle on his back which contained all the clothes he owned. It was a long way to the town and when night came on Hans was only half way through the forest, so he made a pillow of his bundle and lay down under a tree to sleep. But just as he was dozing he heard a Round like some one in pain. He sat up and listened. Yes, there it was* again. The night was so dark that Hans could see very little, hut he made his way In the direction from which the sound came, and soon he heard it right beside him, and looking in the bushes Hans saw an old woman. "What is the matter, grandmother?" asked Hans; "are you hurt?" “Yes," answered the old woman; “I have broken my leg, T fear, and how I shall ever get home to my poor black cat I do not know.” “I’ll help you," said Hans “Can you stand up? You can lean on me and perhaps you can walk home. Do you live far from here?" "Yes," answered the old woman. “I live in a cave at the other end of the forest, and I could never walk there. If only I had my kettle and Iron spoon T could make something that would cure me. but I am afraid I shall never see them again, and my poor black cat will starve," and the old woman swayed back and forth, moaning. "Do not worry, grandmother,” said Hans "Tell me where you live and I will fetch your kettle and iron spoon, and I will feed your black cat and bring It along, too.” "But I am a witch, my son." said the old woman, "and no one wants to help a witch, although they always ex pect help Irom her." "I want to help you,” Raid Hans, "and If you will tell me how to get to your house 1 will bring the things to you, and the black cat, too." So the witch told him and Hans Rtarted off It was morning when he found the home of the witch, and the black cat was sitting In the doorway of the hut, crying. Hank platted her and found something for her to eat. und then he swung the kettle over his shoulder and took the spoon In one hand and the cal under one arm and started hack to the witch. He had gone only a short distance when he met a man. "Come with me‘," said the man, "and I will show you where you can find gold. You can become a rich man and need never work again, hut you must come at once." "I cannot go now," said Hans. “Much as I need gold, I must go first to a poor old woman who has broken her leg and Is lying in the forest waiting for me." “Very well," said the man. "If you do not throw away that kettle, let that cat go and come with me now you will never find the gold." But Hans would not go: he kept on through the forest toward the spot where the witch was waiting When the cat saw her It Jumped out I of Hans' arm and ran to the witch, who took her in her arms and smoothed her black fur. while the cat purred I her happiness at seeing her mistress again. Hans then put the kettle over s fire which he built and gathered the herbs as the witch told him, and when the herbs were cooked the old witch drank the mixture from a piece of tree bark which Hans brought to her. and no sooner had she drunk It than she be gan to dance, and the cat stood oh its legs and began to dance, and the first thing Hans knew he was dancing, too But suddenly Hana-remembered why he had started on his Journey to town and he stopped dancing and picked up hls bundle. By Tad "Whither away, son?”B asked the Svitch. Hans told her where he was going, and why. "And I must not stop here any longer,” he said, "now that you are able to walk.” “You shall be rewarded for helping an old woman,’’ said the witch. "Go home, and tonight when the -moon is T-VyeoaSA' ,f //$ £s 7- s-fnvsJjlJj » j shining go to the big tree at the back of your home and strike it three times, saying as you do so: " 'open your bark, magic tree, Show the hidden gold to me.’ " llans thanked the witch and ran all the way home to tell hls mother the good news, and as soon as the moon was shining on the mountainside Hans went to the tree and did as the old witch had directed, and, sure enough, the tree opened and inside the moun tain there was gold in plenty, so that Hans and his mother lived in comfort all the rest of their days.

Tomorrow's story “Mr. Fox and the Greedy Dog.” an Ingenious swindle In the current issue of Farm and Preside, the national farm paper pub lished at Springfield, Ohio, Judeon C. Welliver, Washington correspondent of that publication, writes an article show ing how in the state of Illinois a swin dle hae been perpetrated by which tu berculous cattle have been bought and ahtpped throughout the United States. Lax laws in Illinois enabled these swind lers to buy and sell such cattle, but the elate of Illinois got Into bad repute b> reason of the extensive sale of these tattle and other plates refused to buy from them. The way the swindlers got around this difficulty Is explained in the following passage taken from Mr. Wel llver's article: "But noie now the devlish ingenuity with which the conspirators managed to render these regulations worthless. They picked out a farm north of Elgin as a base of operations. Part of tide farm lies In Illinois, part of It across the state line, in Wisconsin. Diseased cattle could be shipped in nnd unloaded on the Illinois side of the line; the untl-lnspec tioh law of the state made this perfectly safe. Then they would he driven over to the Wisconsin end of the farm. They could thus be shipped as Wisconsin cat tle. right Into any of the stites that had stvictly quarantined against Illinois stock!
