Jf you could relish e'en a bite
Of cow or pig or ovon hen
You had to butcher In a pon?

' Or chops to fry or veal to bake,
Recall to mind tho nngulshod cry
Of helpless boast called forth to die;
Before you satlHi'y your grcd

Go watch tho fnlthfuL patient beast
In lino of death, before you feast.

If yon could hoar Its dying bloat;
If you could see its frightened eyes
: . 1 don't bollovo its moat you'd prlzo.
And why mote out a murderer's duo
To cows and hens who work for you?
Vou owo thorn moro than any boast
And yot you pay this debt tho lonst.

SIGNBOARDS.
I LOVE the ocean, it's a sight that stirs the jailed spirit; I fain
would watch it through the night, ami spend the daytime
lieur it; but. all along tho misty shore aro '.painted signboards
reading, "Use Dandruff Tills they will restore the whiskers
l)ow receding." I cannot seo the sworilfish play, or watch tho
walrus gambol, because of blatant signs .that say, "Use" Smith
Shoes When You Humble." The mountains are sublime and
grand, and often snow caps crown them'; in solemn majesty they
Stand, with signboards, up and down them.,. The great Creator
built these hills but 'twas not lie defaced them with signs that
say, "Try Piebald l'ills," 'twas man who .thus disgraced .them,
"When to the forest I repair,' to hear the lull pines sighing, a mas
sive signboard greets me there, "Use Axle Crease for Frying."
I have a book with pale blue lines, in which, with ink of crimson,
1 make a note of all such signs that I may east my glims on. And
wjien on shopping trips I wend, I shun the pill and potion whose
signboards, utieking upon end, defaced the hills and ocean. ' I say
to merchant princes, "Cease! You hit me where I'm sorest 1 I
will not liny the axle grease that's blazoned in the forest." I say
to druggists, in their stores, "Sell me some Volstead toddy, whoso
nume's not on our mounts or shore's in letters lurge and gaudy!"
, WASHINGTON, . Jan. 8. Great
Britain wunts a fair business settle
ment of her five billion dollar war
uout to the United Slates on such
term us will produce tho least pos
sible disturbance In tho trade rcla
nuns i or tho two countries, Stunley
Baldwin, tho British chancellor of the
exchequer declared today in an ad
dress before tho Joint meeting of the
NciHul. .wl A ... - ...
ullu siiui'i-ieiin ueui iunaing
commissions.
"We lire not here to ask favors, or
lo impose on generosity." said Mr.
uamwin. "Wo want a fair business
settlement, a squaro deal, a settle
ment that will securo for America tho
repayment to tho last cent of those
credits which tho United Htatcs gov
ernment established in America for
us, their associates in tho war."
Mr. Baldwin's address was in re
ply to one of welcome by Secretary
.Mellon, chairman of the American
commission, who expressed particu
lar appreciation of tho courtesy of the
British government in having desig
nated as its delCKatcs men so dis
tinguished. He called attention that
this was tho first tinio a chancellor- of
the exchequer had come to this
country to participate in a mission of
this character.
The treasury secretary assured the
British representatives that the Amer
ican commissioners woro no less sen
sible than themselves to the virtual
necessity of effecting a definite settle
ment upon a basis entirely just' to
ootn. He added that tho prompt pay
ment by Great Britain of one hundred
million dollars of interest during the
past 'three months, pending a final
arrangement, was to his mind conclu
sive proof of the right spirit of finan
cial integrity which he was proud to
say had always animated both of the
two great English speaking nations.
- The British chancellor In his reply
approached tho problem in a broad
general way, declaring the settlement
would determine the material welfare
of the great mass of wage earners in
Great Britain and the United States.
Ho submitted extensive statistics as to
financial conditions in Great Britain
and a study of these figures was begun
immediately by the American commis
sion. The text of Mi Baldwin's address
In part follows: i
"On behalf of the British delegation
I take this opportunity of expressing
to the American government and
poople our heartfelt appreciation ofj
the warmth nnd courtesy of your re
ception, a reception so characteristic
of th- generous :;hospitaUty - of; this !
great mitlon.- HH'
we nave come with the express
intention of repaying our debt and It is
owing to tho practical difficulties of
making international payments that
wo aro about to consult with you in
ordor to accomplish tho e,nd which wc
both havo in viow,
"We meet today under extraordinary
circumstances. We meet tcrsettle tho
largest single financial transaction, 1
believe, botwoen two friendly nations,
In tho history of tho world. We are
horo to arrange the terms of the pay
ment of the British debt to the United
States. That debt was contracted in a
common cause.
"It was the first contribution made
by the United States to save civiliza
tion lYoni being ongult'ed und free
peoplo being .brought under tho de
structive rule of a military autocracy;
It was followed by tho contribution of
the man power of tho United States
whose soldiers fought so gallantly
with Ours nnd those of our allies for
tho same pur)ose.
, ".Then we were enlltted in a com
mon cause; we still havo common eco
nomic interests. Tho payment of our
debt Ip you involves much more than I
the transfer of hugrj Bums from 'London"
to Washington. It must ul'I'cct the fu-
turo well-being of both countries, and
fits; the United States treasury the
taxation iniimsed on those profits.
"We havo now seen that ,imniedinte
repayment by gold is Impossible a'l
that an equivalent ; transaction' in rer
payment by goods is full of difficulties
so wo shall have to explore what re
maining method of international pay
ments aro presented by the markets
of the world.
"Hero attention will have to be paid
to several considerations. We lent
largo sums to and established large
credits for our European allies so that
whllo wo are dealing with oyr liabilit
leles we find a largo proportion of our
assets temporarily frozen. To balance
our annual accounts in times of un
examplod difficulty we havo made
great sacrifices, we are affected by an
economic situation in Europe and are
passing through tho worst period of
unemployment in our history. . s
I have already referred to the weight
of our taxation which 'with the pro
longed unemployment Is already bear
ing cruelly on our women and children.
So far from the war having loft us
richer by the acquisition of new terri
tory, tho acceptance of mandates in
some of the most dtsturbed parts of
the world has involved us in vast un
productive efforts in policing and pa
trolling territories in which we have
no economic rights which are not open
equally to other nations.
Having regard to all these circum
stances the British government has to
consider very carefully the terms ot
tho liquidation of the debt lest an
international obligation be assumed
which it might be imKssJble to meet
in years of bad trade and falling rev
enue. "In common with the rest of the
world, we have watched with admira
tion the open handed charity of Amer-)
ica to tho stricken countries of Europe i
to tho peoples of Belgium, of France,'
and of Russia. The generosity of
America is proverbial but we are not ,
here to ask for favors or to impose on I
generosity. Wo want only such terms j
as will produce the least possible dis-
tin-banco in tho trade relations f tho '
two countries, a fair business settle
ment a squaro deal, a settlement that
will secure for America the repayment
to the last cent of those credits which
tho United States -government estab
lished for us, their associates in the
war." " I
"Our wish is to approach tho (lis-1
cussion as business men seeking a
business solution of what is funda
mentally a business problem. May 1,
put it this way? 'We intend 'to pay, :
but "How best can international credit
be made liquid when the creditor no-;
tion is unwilling to permit liquida-;
tion through the direct delivery ofj
goods and is also unwilling to scoi
the current sale ot her products to
tho debtor nation interrupted nnd
when the debtor nation Is unwilling
to be put in the position of being un
able to buy the products ot tho cred
llor nation?
"Tho cordial and prompt agree
ment of tho greatest democracies of
tho world on a question of this in
tricacy and magnitude will be an
example to tho nations and a long
slop forward in effecting a solution
of tho economic troubles of Europe.
Let ns never forget that until these
troubles are solved tbero enn bo no
general revival of " international
trade.
"For myself I look forward to the
meeting of the commission with hope
and confidence. I believe that I
shall not bo disappointed."

THE KERRY CANARY
In Kerry there dwelt a canary,
His love story here we relate,
Thla Kerry canary named Jerry
. And Mary Canary, his wife.
Now, Jerry wooed Mary Canary,
By rowing where pond lilies
gleam,
He built a canoe for a ferry
To ferry her over the stream.
"This wee Kerry ferry," said Jerry
Is only to carry U9 two,
Carry Jerry, the Kerry canary,
And his Mary Canary that's .
you.
"But bow to keep other canaries
Away from our little canoe?"
Asked Jerry. The nsor was
Mary's,
Who thus told him what ha
should go:
"Put the boat where the water
pads grow.
Keep it hid from the other birds'
view,
So nary canary can know ,
Of the Kerry canary canoe."
