Based upon two severe bye-elec- tion reverses for the government, Dritish political -gharps are again predicting an early general election. Premier Lloyd George and his ad- visers will no doubt embark upon that sea at the moment they believe to be the most auspices. In the in- terim the Labor Party will make the most out of the two victories to its credit. First was the carrying of the Clayton division of Man- chester, the Laborite polling a big majority over his Unionist opponent. A Unionist Carried the seat in the last election. The same was true of the North Camberwell (London) contest, a Unionist seat being trans- ferred to Labor. The return of Field Marshal Henry Wilson, form- er Chief of Staff of the British Army for North Down, without oppasi- tion, does not offset the other two seats, was held by a Unionist when losses. The scat, one of the Ulster the bye-eléction was necessitatea There are other significant bye-elec- tions to come in some of the British industrial districts. Labor elated by the victories above recorded is con- fident of further successes. A feai- ure that is regarded as having =a close bearing on the general election campatgn, when iL does begin, is that the Independent Liberals--tha is the Liberals who follow-.Asquilia and Grey--did not attempt to pm a candidate in the field. Nor wil they do so in Wolverhampton whers a contest is also in progress. Labor men will reciprocate by keeping of cial candidates out of the contest in several ridings which are regarded as Libera) in tendency. It is denied by both Liberal and Labor that there - is amy formal pact to avoid three corneréd contests which it is con- tended were fatal to these two pargles in many instances in the 1918 general elections. But is evidently local cooperation of a very close kind. At this distance ft would appear as though the govern- ment will have troublous times in many strong labor ridings when an election is decided upon, or if bye- elections are found necessary. Un- employment, the staggering burdens of debt that Britain is carrying, an tmpossibility of finding money to meet all the demands of labor for the relief of the people, will fell against Lloyd George 'and his coi- leagues, as they would against any other party in power. But it is a long step yet between the present government and one in which the Labor Party predominates. There are not wanting those who predict, however, that a Liberal-Labor com- bination will form the next British government. As Mr. Asquith used to say "Wait and See." » » » Following upon George's declaration that Britain would not under any conditions, abandon her trust in India, General Lord Henry Rawlinson, commander of the British forces in that country, has given some reasons for his de- mand for an increase in military strength there. Tribesmen who have been causing digturbances, he says. conld if they combined, put into the field some 130,000 splendidly vigor ons fighters, excellently armed. As against thes numbers the British and native Indian forces in the Brit- ish control, had been greatly re- duced. They wene also scattered at a number of points, had much to guard: in the way of lines of com- munication and the like, During January eight battalions 'had been assisting the police in various areas, and during February the military Premier Lloyd OM Have a Big Store LG FA "Use the Bell to Sell" in a Small Town Long Distance Will Help You , bressing the agitators with its ear FMMVHERE are such stores, that hold the trade for miles around, some of them built up without largely increasing capital. The merchant buys small standardized stocks 'of the very best sellers, the same styles that are being shown in the big cities. He is particular to get the styles that are advertised, that his customers will look for. If it is wearing apparel, he probably does not carry the very small or very large sizes, preferring those for which there will be most demand. When well displayed, an advertisement in the local paper starts them selling. The merchant looks upon the manufacturer or jobber as his warehouse, Once a week, or. oftener, he checks up what new stock or odd sizes he needs, and orders them by Long Distance. - Shipment is often made the same day 1 express, parcel post, delivery becomes possible. or freight.

"What, Is it?" agked the bunny rabbit gentleman, "If you want the, to wash the dishes ufter meals I'll do it." "There is something the muskrat lady "Please don't forget rubber plant." , "Hum!" said the bunny. vy shouldn't think it would do much good to water a rubber plant. It can't get wet." "The ground in which it grows can be wet," sald Nurge Jane. "And, Wiggy, I want you to promise not to forget." "I'll water your rubber [plant every day!" promised Mr. Longears, twinkling his pink nose barkwards to show that he was in earnest, "But where are you going, Nurse Jame?" "To spend a few days with Aunt Lettie, the goat lady," was the an- swer. "I have cooked up a lot of good things for you to eat. You'll find them in the ice box and pantry."

That's the way it was with the bunny gentleman, He went Off adventuring so often that thé'rnbBér plant sort of slipped his mind. He would think of it after he had eaten his supper all alodedn his hol- low stump bungalow and had gone to bed. ; "I'll surely water than plant in the morning" Uncle Wiggily would say to himself, not wanting to, get np. But when morning came the bun- ny rabbit gentleman would be in such 'a hurry to get his breakfast of carrot oatmeal, and hurry out te look for an adventure that he would forget all about the rubber plant needing water, One day, when Nurse Jane had been away about a week, and the bunny. gentleman was getting lone- some for her, Uncle Wiggily hurried back to his hollow stump bungalow, "I simply must water that rab- ber plant," he sald to hfthself.
