THE PLACE TO BE.
Europe is tied in a bow-knot. Debt and deficit are
written across the face of things.
Nowhere does the bright sunshine of Opportunity glow
with such a welcome warmth as in America.
Half the nations of Europe would have to declare a
state of bankruptcy if they had to cash in today. They
couldn’t survive the shock. They haven’t got the goods.
America is about the only nation of importance in the
world today that rates as a going concern.
So. entirely apart from the matter of love of homeland,
America is the place to be.
Not only is America the place to be for the big men of
financial power. It is the place to be for the average man
—the mechanic, the shipping clerk, the farmer.
Take a look at the map of Europe.
Italy—short of coal, short of raw materials, short of
food, short of employment.
France om sixth in ruins, the balance short of raw
materials, short of coal, short of employment, short of food.
England Depending on imports for food, short of
raw materials, everything unsettled, readjustment of ma
chinery proceeding slowly much unemployment.
Belgium— Brussels, a ‘‘show window” where food may
be had at exorbitant prices; most of the balance of the
country painfully desolate.
Holland—Short of coal, short of food, death and dis
ease rates higher than ever, unemployment general, raw
material supply almost zero.
Russia A massive interrogation point where a bale of
money will buy a loaf of bread if there is any bread to be
bought.
Germany- -Defeated, beset by all manner of wolves
within and about to be loaded with an indemnity charge that
will keep every German humping for the next three decades.
Austria- Gone where the woodbine twineth.
Poland, Czecho-Slovakia, .lugo-Slavia New nations
that must he built from the ground up with supplies largely
furnished from without.
Rulgaria Submerged and torn by revolution following
defeat.
Greece —In fair condition, compared to the rest of Eu
rope, but in great need of imports.
There you are. Europe is a blue and gloomy picture.
Tliis is no reflection on any of our allies. They can’t help
it. They got that way because they did the right and brave
thing, il is the after-suffering from the great pain of war.
But it is there.
America is the solidest, brightest, homiest, happiest
place on earth.
America owes Europe u duty. It must provide the
things they need in the vast desolation ‘‘over there.”
But in plain words, that means the busiest kind of an
America —and th V American people love a busy place.
There is no opportunity of any kind, material, spiritual,
concrete or abstract, that offers in Europe that cannot be
doubled upon and trebled in America.
Of all places to be, America is THE place. Opportu
nity to work is brightest in America. Opportunity to do the
big, kindly, helpful human healing of the world—that is
America’s. Opportunity to do what the Yankee calls “get
up and get” it is writ large on the fertile soil of the United
States of Uncle Sam.
It isn’t a goose that lays the golden egg between the
Atlantic and the Pacific. It’s a wise bird—and it is just
now facing its busy season.

If the brand of weather we’ve been
having lately doesn’t please you blame it
on tho sunspots.
Scientists at the University of Virginia
have announced the result of sun studies.
With an astronomical yardstick they
found the measurements of the great sun
spot which has recently made its appear
ance.
The whole area of disturbance is
roughly a circle of 45,000 miles In diame
ter, while the central, or largest, spot Is
now about 28,000 miles long and 5,000
miles broad at its widest portion.
This huge sun spot can be seen Just
below the center of the sun with the nak
ed eye, if a dense photographic plate or
heavily smoked glasses are used to cut
down the sun’s brightness
l/ |f / 1 1 \S^
With the telescope 16 smaller spots are
Seen In the same area, and scattered over
the sun's surface- are live other groups
with 42 more spots.
This means that the solar surface is in
a very disturbed condition, looking and
feeling much like a human does when he
has the smallpox.
We would like the gas company to
know It's all a myth about the. supply of
gas being small.
For—
Just the other day Prof. E B. Frost of
the Yerkes Observatory. Williams Bay,
w »»-. discovered gas on the sun.
The professor watched an Immense gas
cloud separate Itself from the sun and
float off into space. The top of this gaa
cloud reached a height of nearly 600,000
miles, or more than half the diameter of
the sun. When Inst seen the base of the
gas cloud was 200.000 Unties from the
sun's surface.
If this gas cloud is headed earthward,
and lands here, it'll furnish enough gas
to keep every meter clicking day and
night for the next half million years.
There's only one thing which will keep
the local gas company from grabbing it
and hiding it in some reservoir. That is:
Half a second after gas cloud strikes our
atmosphere—if It does come-—not even a
grease spot will be left of what once was
the earth.
Speaking of the weather, nobody knows
why it Always rains when one wants to
go to a picnic, or—
Why It rained ducks, catbirds and
woodpeckers at Baton Rouge. La , in

Oh, yes. scientists said it was the wind

Again a Sudden Meeting With Bob Brings
Back the Old Light to His Eyes!
Hamilton Certeis must have heard who
wr*re his new neighbors. Of course Chrys
would have informed him of the Lorimer
plans for the summer. And he couldn’t
make us a neighborly call! Nor could
the shabby coast fisherman appear in
our midst as an ardent lover! In fact, he
was about a« free as a prisoner shackled
with a ball and chain.
Bolshevik hunters would nah him,
without doubt, were he to venture in
land fiom that shack on the dune. And
what awaited him if he ventured out to
sea? 1 shuddered as I thought of his
friends of long ago, the shrouded dead
who guarded the treasure in the ocean
depths. Would they not beckon to him,
clutch at him, make him their own?
It was a terrible vision. I shut up the
doors of my imagination and returned
'-P things practical. Probably Certeis
aidn t connect the Lorimers with an at
tack upon the gems. That was highly
Important to me. Chrys was pledged not
to mention me to Certeis. I had insisted
that as long as Bob thought me dead,
I preferred to remain lost to all but the
family. And Certeis had some excellent
reasons of his own for not naming me to
Chrys!
Twice he had failed to recognize me in
the messenger girl’s disguise. I resglved
to put it on whenever I should venture
out of doors. 1 thought with cheer that
the little complications of my life were
smoothing themselves out —all except the
big one which concerned my husband.
1 watched the three men at work on tho
motorboat while they finished the Job.
They hauled the craft into the water,
found the engine hitting satisfactorily,
and then turned the nose of the
boat out to sea. They steered her straight
to the position of the L T -boat, and circled
up and down, back and forth above the
hidden treasure!
I snatched up the binoculars and fol
lowed their weaving movements. Evi

UNCLE WIGGILY AND
THE STRAWBERRIES
(Copyright, 1919. by McClure Newspaper
Syndicate.)
BY HOWARD GARIS.
“Do you like strawberry shortcake,
I’ncle Wiggily?” asked Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wussy, the muskrat lady housekeeper of
the, bunny rabbit gentleman, one morn
ing.
*‘J am very, very fond of strawberry
shortcake,” answered Mr. Longears. "In
fact, I could eat a slice right now. Please
bring it in, Nurse Jane.”
"On, I haven’t any now,” laughed the
muskrat lady. ”1 was going to say that,
if you wanted some, and would go off in
the woods in your auto and bring me
back some strawberries. I’d make the
cake.”
I’ll do it!” cried Uncle Wiggily. “I
was very lucky in finding blackberries,
red raspberries, and, with the help of
Johnnie and Billie Bushytail, I found # the
huckleberries. Now I’ll try to find some
strawberries. I’ll go look for them!”
No sooner said than done. Sprinkling
a little pepper on the bolonga sausage
tires of his auto and taking hold of thfc
turnip steering wheel. Uncle Wiggily
started off. Over the fields and through
the woods he rode, looking on all sides
for some strawberries so Nurse Jane could
make a shortcake.
“And I hope she doesn’t make it so
short that there will be none left for
breakfast,” Uncle Wiggily thought to
himself. •
But, look as he did. there Heemed to be
no strawberries growing in the woods,
and the rabbit gentleman was feeling
quite badly, when, all of a sudden, he saw
a little ladvbug flying along.
‘ Dear ladybug.” spoke Uncle Wiggily,
with a low and polite bow of his tall silk
hat, “could you tell me where the straw
berries grow?”
"Yes.” answered the red-spotted bug.
•I can. If you will ride until you get
out of the woods, and come to a field,
there you will see many strawberries
growing. They belong to Uncle Butter,
the goat gentleman, and I herad that
they were Just ripe for picking now, In
fact, many of the animal children are
helping Uncle Butter pick the strawber
ries. You may get some there.”
“Oh. I'm sure 1 will, thank you very
much." said Uncle Wiggily to the lady
bug. “Uncle Butter, the goat, is a friend
of mine. He’ll give me some straw
berries,” he added.
Then Uncle Wiggily started off in his
auto once more as the lady bug flew
away. Just as the rabbit gentleman was
coming to the end of the woods and saw
ahead of him a big field, where the straw
berries grew, something happened And
what happened was that out fr i behind
a tree popped the bad old Boozup. Now
the Boozup was worse than the Boozip
and the Boozap put together. The 800-
SUCCESS
He has achieved success who
has lived well, laughed often and
loved much; who has gained the
reepect of intelligent men and the
love of little children; who has
filled his niche and accomplished
his t«sk —who has left the world
better than he found It, whether
by an improved poppy, a perfect
poem, or a rescued soul; who has
never lacked appreciation of
earth's beauty or failed to express
it; who has always looked for the
best in others and given the best
he had; whose life was an inspira
tion; whose memory a benedic
tion.

it was some time before I was at ease.
When I was about to put the glasses
away, the face of the third man came
sharply into focus.
'Tiny Goff:” 1 said out loud. Tiny had
. j i_:.. J 1 Ar
finished his training as a diver. Mary
Thomas had said so.
Our rivals were all ready for the raid—
and we were not!
Mary couldn't stay down at the shore;
Jim was absent at a distant aviation
field; Tommy had left New York for a
vacation trip up the Saguenay; and now
that Bob was coming home, I hadn’t much
mind to give to any affairs but my own.
I felt like throwing up the adventure,
altogether, only Certeis was assuredly a
leader of the Bolshevik element in this
country. 1 couldn’t let him win. Some
how his capture, and the revelation of
his character, and the salvation of Chrys
seemed to be linked up with the hunt
for those pearls.
The boat touched the beach—the men
Ptepped ashore. I turned to put the
glasses away—l turned and faced—my
husband!
The binoculars dropped to the floor
with a clatter.
Bob’s stride brought him close to me in
a second.
"I think we have met before?” he
drawled in his soft monotone.
“Yes—yes, sir. We—we have!” I stam
mered and retreated, pushing a chair
against a table with a bang and making
a muddle of my corner of the room.
Bob retrieved the glasses and held them
out to me.
“Such a shame to drop fine binoculars
like these!” I was glad I could frame
some kind of a spe.rh. I took the glasses
gingerly afraid that my fingers might
touch his.
Bob’s eyes fixed on mine, and I—
the proud and self-confident—suddenly
became confused. In my embarrassment
I made him that queer little curtesy
which he used to delight in.
And the tired look went out of his sad
eyes for an instant.
(To be continued.)
zip ate shof* buttons. The Boozap ate
buttons and buttonholes, but the Boozup
ate shoe buttons, the buttonholes and
the shoes, too, leaving you to go home
barefoot.
“Oh, ho! This is my lucky day!” cried
the Boozup, as he saw Uncle Wiggily!
”At last I have caught you, Mr. Long
ears! Now I am going to eat vour shoe
buttons, buttonholes, shoes and all, and
for dessert I’ll take some souse off your
ears!”
“Are you going to do all that?” sadly
asked the rabbit gentleman.
“Yes, I am!” boasted the Boozup.
“Well, first you have to catch me!”
bravely cried the bunny. Then he
sprinkled a lot of pepper on his bolonga
sausage auto tires, and away he went as
fast as the wind. But the Boozup ran
along after him, almost as fast, chasing
Uncle Wiggily.
“Oh, if I can only get to the straw
berry field I may be safe!” thought Ahe
bunny. He steered his auto that way,
and, just as the lady bug had said, many
of the animal children were in the fieild
helping pick Uncle Butter’s berries.
“Oh, Uncle Butter!” cried the bunny
as he rode into the strawberry patch,
with the Boozup chasing after him,
though now some distance behind. “What
shall I do? Where shall I hide?”
“Jump out of your machine and hop
up to that shed,” said the goat gentle
man. “In the shed is a big pile of straw
berries on the floor, ready to he put into
boxes. You hide down under the red
strawberries, cover yourself up with them
and leave just the tip of your nose stick
ing out so you may breathe.”
“I’ll do it!” cried Uncle Wiggily. and
he had hardly hidden under a pile of
berries before the Boozup came to the
shed.
“Where’s Uncle Wiggily!” cried the
had Boozup, as he popped into the shed.
“I saw him come in here, but I don’t
see him now. All I see is a pile of
strawberries. Where’s Uncle Wiggily?”
“I don't see him myself.” spoke Uncle
Butter, sly like and unpretentious.
The Boozup looked sharply at the pile
of strawberries, but he couldn’t see
Uncle Wiggily. ’Cause why? ’Cause only
the tip of the rabbit gentleman's nose
was sticking out, and the nose was so
near the color of a strawberry that the
Boozup never noticed it.
Of course Uncle Wiggily’s nose twink
led the least little bit, but the Boozup
never suspected that.
“Well, that rabbit fooled me this time,”
growled the Boozup as he hopped away,
“but I’ll get him next week!”
Then Uncle Wiggily crawled out from
under the strawberries, and Uncle Butter
gave him a pail full to take home to Nurse

810 CELEBRATION
IN PARIS FOR THE
FOURTH OF JULY
Paris —A gala performance of “Faust”
at the opera, with Marshal Foch ana
General Pershing as the specially honorea
guests, concluded the notable joint
French and American celebration of the
Fourth of July. The day opened w'ith an
early morning review commemorating
France’s participation in the American
revolution and the celebration afforded
varied entertainment for the thousands
of American soldiers.
There was even a real wild west pa
rade down the Champs Elysees ana
through the Place de La Concorde, cow
girls and Indians, riding gaily through
the Place de La Concorde to the music
of a wild west band. Droved a rar
greater attraction to the French than the
brilliant military spectacle.
Pop corn, peanuts, lemonade and ice
cream were offered in abundance by the
various service canteens and flag sell
ers were, displaying badges or the Amer
ican colors everywhere.
The tremendous ovation given Marshal
Foch at the American chamber of com

sistent demands for a speech was one
of the most pleasant features of the
celebration.

Pershing at the luncheon.
The marshal spoke of the hearty co
operation of the French and American
troops and the common ideals of the two
people and proposed a toast “to the vic

drank after touching glasses with Gen
eral Pershing. The applause continued
for many minutes.
Later in the afternoon there was a
scene Of great Franco-American frater
nizing at the Paris city hall, in honor of
General Pershing.
The day appropriately was wound up

The Northwest! What a Land of Adventure!
Its trails —on land and sea—blazed by Lewis
and Clark, by Astor, by Bering, by Vancouver.
A land of glaciers and rose festivals —of blue
lakes in the bowls of ancient craters—-of snow
capped peaks—of sheltered seas—of mighty rivers
and the lure of golden sapds. A land, too, of
thriving cities and modem motor highways.
A vast, cool summer playground where one
may enjoy outdoor life in the mountains and
by the sea, and where one may visit great
National Parks.
Go this summer. En route see some of the other Na
tional Parks of the Far West, return
ing (if desired) through California.

and whether bureau forecasters said tile
day was one of the hottest Fourtn oi
Julys on record.
The warm wave extending over the
East chiefly was remarkable for tne size
of the area covered, taking in everything
from the Mississippi valley east to tne
Atlantic coast. At Chicago the official
record was 96. Predictions were ror a
fall in temperature by Saturday night*
and very general thunder showers.
At 'Toledo the official temperature was
94 degrees, but the weather bureau said
that stories of much higher temperatures
in the ring where the Willard-Dempsey
championship fight was staged were to
be believed, because arena conditions
made for building up unusual heat con
ditions.
Last night the weather bureau renewed
its warnings to the British dirigible R-f 4
enroute to New York to be prepared tor
thunderstorms and similar disturbances
beginning Saturday afternoon. The
messages were relayed through the naval
radio stations to the vessel.
Booze lost caste because it interfered
