Or both; else it would come.
Not ignorant of eveything,
"Of course not that is meant,"'
But of the good the News would bring.
If one would .have it sent
But few, if any, are so poor
They can not pay the price
To have the News come to the door.
When little will suffice.
Three cents or less per weeV is paid;
That is a sum quite small; .
That News thy at the gate is laid.
And may be read by all.
Some parents surely do not know
They ought to take the News;
Thus giving all the folks a show.
And broadening their views.

food.
Just as the bodies do;
And parents that are wise and good
Will get itto them, too.
The News tells what is going on
In places far arid near;
Its columns children read and con.
The News they like to hear.
Some parents know, but will not do;
They for the stingy class;
A penny they will not let go
To learn what comes to pass.
The neighbor may not mind to lend
The News to one to read;
Yet it is bothersome to send
For it in times of need.
The News for. wrapping may-be jised
When it Is stale and cold;
For kindling it will be refused
Until it gets quite old.

Why Europe
Hates Us.
By William Willard Howard
IiCt us set aside for a moment the
ghastly plight of the Russian re
t in t -1 v
ingccs in uasiern liurope- Let us
consider, briefly, the plight of Eu
rope itself.
On my return home from Europe
recently the daily press published
an interview in which I said, in
part:
"Europe is a dreary expanse of
hunger, hatred and suspicion. Each
country hates some other country
usually its next-door neighbor.
All hate the United States. The
hatred felt toward us is the hatred
of the debtor for the creditor.
"During the war and immediate
ly afierward Uncle Sam was un
believably lavish in his financial as
sistance to lmproverished Eurone
Naturally, he was looked upon as
a credulous and open-handed re
lative who could be expected to
shovel out money in carload lots
indefinitely., He was a ncvce-fail-
ing source of easy income.
"When Uncle Sam stopped shov.
elin?r and suggested some arrange
ment lookinir toward renavment
Europe was shocked to discover
that Uncle Sam was a hard-hearted
callous, selfish, mercenary money
lender, who actually believed that
he should have his money back. So
Europe hates us with "a
hstre.1. w- - -:
debtors
in ?'''.
Europe aoes not want us in
ner conferences: uoci not want us
t
to give advise; does not want us to
help or direct in. any way. All
that Europe wants is, : our money
My own belief is that we should
Keep out ot a place wnere we are
not wanted and keep our money
out, If we take a hand in Europe s
mess we shall regret the action
with mudi bitterness of spirit,
"Men in Europe told ne that
they blame Woodrow Wilson for
the present condition' of the conti
nent. Wilson' promised Europe
fourteen kinds of milennium, and
then failed to produce even the
'semblance of a milennium when
put to the test.
