"l»o the Bears go to sleep in tht '* inter ?" asked Nancy. "They re awake in the Zoo,” said Niok. “Te«. I know." said Nancy, “but 1 !u.nn the ones who live off—off—well, wherever they live!” ""The Bears live in rocks and caves,” said Daddy. “And they do go to sleep in tlie winter. But every little while they come out so they are unlike the kinds of Animals that sleep straight through the whole winter and who dc not get up until spring is here. “One day Billy Bear and his broth er Brownie Bear went off on a hunt ing excursion. They had a great deal of luck and came back to their cave with all sorts of good things to eat. "But the things they had found that they lik*-l best, and which they had only taken off a short distance in the woods where they had had a feast, were the things they had found in au old Farmyard. “They had seen the most delicious of things there! For on a ;>orch of 1 e Farmhouse they had found an old garbage pail. And this they dragged off into the woods. There were old tins which hud once held jam. there were old Jars to be licked out. and there were many delicacies which tin Beers don’t always get. •“They scattered the old tins, aftei tnej had left them quite shiny and clean, through the wofeis adjoining the Farmyard, and they didn’t bother to pick up anything! "And then they heard the Farmer come out into his Farmyard. “ ‘I do believe that those Bears who live off in the Caves of the Woods have l»een here. They know just how to get at tins with their claws—and they love Jam and sweet things.’ "Then he heard a rustle through the woods. "They’re there now,’ he ex claimed. ’Maybe I could get a shot at one of them.’ “And he went for his gun. After all. the Bears had only taken his gar bage tins, and garbage wasn’t such a tremendous thing to steal but the Farmer was feeling angry and cross. “Off went his gun, and Billie and Brownie Bear rushed back to their Cave for all they were worth. “ ‘How selfish of him.’ they growled, ’when we were cleaning up his place for him." “But before they reached the Cave they had picked up some more good things. “They knew that the Farmer wouldn’t chase them into the deep WEiods for there were more Bears where they lived, and he was afraid of more than one or two. “ ‘He Just thought he could get us," said Billy Bear, ‘because there were There Were Many Delicacies. onJy two of us! He isn't brave—no he Isn't.' “'Well,' said Brownie Bear, ‘there was only one of him!’ “‘Nonsense,’ said Billy Bear. ‘He had a gun and that is worth quite a good many of us if it gets near enough.’ " 'True, true.’ said Brownie Bear. ‘You are very wise.’ “ 'And we have narrow escapes, but we always come out of them quite safely. don’t we?’ said Billy Bear. “ ‘Indeed we do,’ agreed Brownie Boar. ‘But now that I've eaten all that I run. I ni growing very sleepy. “’So am I.’ sjtid Billy Bear. ‘Let’s go Into our rave and have a good long nap. I could almost sleep until spring.' “ ‘Well, w might shake ourselves and peep out to see what is going on once or twice before then,’ said Brownie Bear. “ ‘Don't let's talk about it now though. I'm too sleepy,’ said Billie Bear. “So both the Bears joined the other ping Bears in the Cave and there they went fast, fust asleep, dreaming of jam and garbage puils, but not of guns or men. For these would have given them nightmares! “And the Farmer’s care to keep bis garbage pail from the Bears during \ the next few weeks was quite useless for the Bears were too happy dream- | mg!” - “ - Enjoying a Novelty. “You seem to have a fondness for sardines.

One of the developments of the one piece dress, which makes of it a good model for the promenade, is sho\yn In the accompanying photograph. It looks like a plaited skirt of silk jer sey, with a plain coat suggestive of a sweater, but its looks are mislead ing. It is a one-piece garment, and it might be made in serge, gaberdine, or any pliable woolen goods. Like so many others, it boars the imprint of sports styles in the straight Hues of the body, in the long girdle which is wrapped easily about the waist, and in the patch pockets. This is one of those designs which are adapted to almost any color. It has a number of novel finishing touches that give it a distinction which will match up with the peculiar shades of green and the beautiful blues that have captivated everybody. But what ever color is chosen must be used throughout. The ties at the throat, of brocaded ribbons, furnish all the contrast needed. It is noticeable that the sleeves are 1 of the same material as the dress and i surely turn round to look It over and to wonder sit the cleverness of its de signer. Because of its pockets and buttons sind its odd belt. “Spring. 1917.” is written boldly on the suit pictured. And because of her suit and hat and her swagger stick the judgment of their wearer is above question; she , knows smart style and chooses it for her own. It does not take long to tell the [ story of the pretty suit, since its skirt i is plain and all its points of interest ' ' centered in the coat, w hich is short, j Although women are reluctant about giving up short skirts, this model I reaches an inch or so below the shoe top, and shows the insistence of de- , , signers in their attempt to bring long er skirts into favor. This skirt model The coat hangs straight at the from, j and would at the back if it were not held in a little by the belt. There is an odd management of this feature. The belt of the material slips through slashes In each side of the front of the coat and buttons in the hack. The “SPRING, 1917,” PROCLAIMS THIS SUIT. that a deep cuff is set into the band that finishes them. Those who re gret the disappearance of the erei>e i sleeves may have these cuffs made of crepe, which is so soft and so becom ing to the hands. The pockets are put on with dose-set rows of buttons, covered with the same material as the dress. Smaller buttons, made the same way, fasten the bodice above the waistline. Ail the lines are long and Straight in this model: even the collar is carefully managed so that they are unbroken. The first fugitive fine day that the year vouchsafes to drop in the frozen north, we are likely to meet this pretty substitute for the street suit. We will pockets are large and lined with a ; contrasting color. They are slashed i and turned back, the points fastened down with buttons. The cuffs are fin- j ished in the same way; their lining is I the same as that in the coat. Buttons covered with the material of the suit fasten the coat down the ! 1 front and are used in decorative rows : on each side. A little needlework ' must, of course, appear on every well regulated garment for spring, and it Is seen in the lines that are placed be- 1 side the buttons, bringing them into greater prominence. || FARM LOAN ACT. I. The Co-Operative Banking 2 System Established Under It. 2 (By Frank R Wilson, federal loan bu reau. Washington. D. C.) The federal farm loan act, adopted in June. 1916, and signed by President Woodrow Wilson shortly after, creates a confprehensive. co-operative banking system to lend money to farmers and prospective farmers for purposes of land purchase, farm development, and the refunding of indebtedness. The system consists of two main di visions ; a money-assembling agency, through which the accumulation and savings of the country are gathered in, and a money-lending agency, through which this money is distributed for agricultural uses. The farm loan act, in brief, pools the farm mortgages of the nation; issues a collateral trust security against these pooled mortgages, and sells these se curities in the open market. The establishment of this c<copera tive banking system was made neces sary by reason of the fact that banks In most parts of the United States have not possessed the facilities to properly take care of farm loans be cause these loans required too long a time to run: because interest rates to farmers have been too high, ranging from 5 per cent per annum to 5 per ■ent per month; and because private money-lending agencies had not real ized the reflex advantages to them selves of a long time, amortized loan to the farmers. Machinery for Its Application. The machinery provided in the ap plication of the farm loan act has three main divisions: First—The federal farm loan board tn Washington. D. C.. composed of the secretary of the treasury, William G. McAdoo. chairman ex officio; George W. Norris, farm loan commissioner; Herbert Quick. Capt. W. S. A. Smith and < 'buries E. Lobdell. Second—The 12 federal loan banks throughout the United States. Third—The national farm loan asso ciations, each composed of ten or more farmer-borrowers, which associations secure loans for their members from the federal land banks. Tlie federal farm loan board is in charge of the entire system. Its first imj>ortant duty was to divide the coun try into 12 bank districts and locate me federal hind bank in each. This board also provides the banks with temporary governing boards during the process of growth. Later a system if co-operative self-government will be naugurnted under which the associa tions of farmers will direct these big Bnancial institutions, under the super vision of the federal farm loan board. Each of the 12 federal land banks starts business with a paid-up capital of J7.10.000. subscribed by the govern ment. If private Investors do not sub scribe it within 30 days after the books Rre opened. These banks have the right to lend to national farm loan as sociations up to 20 times the capital stock of the banks. The lendiug ca parity of these banks is automatically increased by requiring the farm loan associations to reinvest in the capital stock of the banks one-twentieth of the amount their members borrow. Thus the capital stock of the banks in creases in the same ratio as their loans. The banks acquire additional money for lending by selling their own ooufis to investors. Without Profit to Individuals. When a hank lends money and takes first mortgages on farms in exchange, It issues bonds against these mortgages and sells the bonds to produce more money to lend. The bonds issued by one bank are secured by the assets of ail the banks operating under this system, and the rate of interest ou the bonds is adjust ed by supply and demand. The rate of interest charged to members of farm loan associations for money which they borrow from the banks, cannot exceed by more than 1 per cent the rate of interest paid on the bonds. This mar gin is provided to pay the cost of operating the banka So, If the bonds sell at 4 per cent and the cost of operating is 1 per cent, the interest rate to the farmer-borrowers will be 5 per cent. If the cost is held down to one-half of one per cent, the inter ?st rate to the farmers would be 4V4 oer cent. So, briefly, the members of the as sociations of farmers borrow from the hanks; the banks issue bonds against the farm mortgages and borrow money from investors; the farmers invest an amount equal to one-twentieth of the amount they borrow, in order to pro vide an increasing capital for the hanks, and the whole process is done ander governmental supervision and without profit to any individual.

They didn't accomplish any- j thing worthy of art at his organ re cital.” “Oh, yes, they did. They took up a sollection." Why? Why does the sound of a bell cease when you touch it? Because sound is due to waves in the air which strike the drum of the ear. When a bell or gong is struck it vibrates and produces waves in the air that reach the ear. When you touch the bell the vibration ! Is stopped and there are no more sound waves. Duty That Comes to All.
