We've had his picture tifken a dozen'times or more; We've sot him as a baby, in the dresses -that he wore. We've .lot him with his mother, and we've pictured him with me, But the' camera's only seen him in the. way .he oug-ht I'd like to have his photo as he really is today, With-the upon him that he's gathered an his play. We've had his picture taken, when his garments all trim, And his face was fixed" and solemn, but they don t re- semble him, For they do not show the twinkle in those roguish eyes of his. And they don't portray the rascal, as he mostly always He is 'sick 'and solemn sometimes in his -white and starchy shirt, But his natural condition is to grin through grimo ana. dirt. I wish I were a painter, I-would canvas him today In those soited'and tattered garments which he wears when he's at play; I would paint him in the knickers which have sagged unto his shins, And the shirt waist clinging to them by the grace of safety pins, try to catch.the glory of that smile from ear to ear, When the cHrt is thick upon him and his face is just a smear. His mother says we mustn't, but I still insist and! say That we ought to have 'him pictured as he really, is today, For I know no -sight that's finer for a man to look upon Than a happy g-rin-ning youngster when his two 'front teeth are gone; And when I come home at evening and he answers to my call, I just grab him up and kiss him, for I love with thousands of islands, wild.' stony bits of nature rising out.. the -water with scarcely any soil on them, yet covered with birch and spruce which grow out of 'the crevices in the rock.' These islands in size are from a. few hundred feet across to several acres and shelter many mooso and deer. A. herd of 12 moose was seen recently on ono of them. After three days in camp the newspaper men were taken 50 miles up Rainy lake to 'a Chippewa Indian pow-wow to which the members of the tribe make a pilgrimage each year and which lasts some two or three weeks. To one who had' never seen the pesky redskin in his natural haunt, the display of paint, feathers and tinsel and sauaws reminded one of the wild west shows; the regulation dance accompanied by the beating of a big drum-like torn torn, located in 'the middle of a thirty-foot shack, perfectly round, constructed for the occasion, was interesting.. Some fifty Indians -were on hand and they continued to come from all quarters m their canoes, the buck paddling in the stern while the squaw wielded a paddle at the bow, the little Indians and camp stuff in the usually the squaw smoked a big, black and no good Indian -.is without a bevy of mongrel- dogs. Four or five Indians beat the torn torn during the dance which runs 'for about three minutes, then a breathing space of a couple of minutes, then the dance starts again, each buck using the same step, but some of them going into a different body action. The dance keeps up night and day, presumably with fresh dancers, until the pow wow ends. The squaws and children sit on the ground around the ecli'o oC the shack while tho- braves are seated be- tween dances on benches in comfort, a little papoose with laughing, big. black was set. up against the wall in his basket. Most of the Chlppewas were Pressed in regulation citizens' clothing. Their canoes of birch were home-made, mostly, though some were the real bought-at-the-store sort and one was rigged with a. row- boat motor. Most of the Indians refused to be photo- graphed. They believe there is an evil spirit connected .-with photography. The old chief and two or .three braves did, however, consent to be exposed to camera. On the return trip to camp the remains of a gold mining camp were seen, where a fortune was spent and a meager amount of returns secured. This was many years ago. x A rare treat to the travelers was' the display of northern lights Aurora b.orealis which occurred on one of tho evenings during, the sojourn at the camp. The northern light displays we' are accustomed to at home are liko a candle as compared with the wonderful illumination which lit up the., sky in the northland. If you could imagine a great deep ribbon on edge flutter- -ins ac'rosl the whole sky changing constantly in color and formation with a great pyrotechnic-Uke' display of lights and colorings in the north, you can get an idea of what we were favored in seeing. The autumn colorings in the trees had not fully de- vclopecl; however, the shore settings were beautiful at that and the return of .400 miles to Minneapolis was made wichi the thought that the hosts were sure enough entertainer's. children and -widows are continually being turned away from .the overcrowded charitable institutions and food stations to die in the streets of Poland and nearby countries. The only hope that the. gre_at mass of Jewry will survive the coming- winter depends upon America. ,The fortnight between Rosh Hashonah and' Yom Kippur is observed as a period of 'repentance, during which, the Divine Judge weighs t the earthly deeds against each 'individual before entering his final" fate in the bpbk of judgment. This year it is a period of deep sorrow as well for many American Jews. The records of Jewish relief agencies in New York show that.sev- eral hundred thousands have tried without avail to trace their dear ones abroad who have been swallowed up in the chaos war when communications were These people are at a loss whether to hope that their loved ones are dead or.that it is their fate to face a. new year of. terrible suffering and sorrow.' Another sad phase of this year's Yom Kippur will be the memorial service for the dead, when almost every Jewish family in the stricken countries, together with many in America, will mourn the loss of one or more the an' ail by Edgar A.

From their-home in Palestine, from the shores of the Baltic and the BTack seas, from Poland and the frozen wastes'oE every foreign land into which Jewish relief workers have penetrated, the sad New Tear 'message that comes to this country is ever tho Jewry is perishing." America is the only land in which the new month of TIshri, the Hebraic January, brings any joy to the Jewish populatign. The year of 66SO, reckoning from the Day of Abraham on the Jewish calendar, dawned on September 25, the Feast Day of RoSh Hashonah. It was not a feast day for some six million starving Jews of Europe because every day for the past four years has been, a fast day for most of them.. So today's Tom Kip7 pur fast will bo all too easy for these millions to ob- serve.

Before the war we sold about two billion dollars worth of goods abroad every year and bought'a million'and a half. Out of the half billion to our credit we paid the, transportation charge to foreign ships. Then we paid interest on American securities that we're held abroad. Finally we added to this the money that. Amer- ican tourists each year spent in Eur- -ope. These items brought the out- lay up to the income.

Then the war came on'.- It resulted in Europe buying.much more heavily from the-United States than form- erly, and selling, less to us.- Itr cut off .such American money from. Eur- ope'as that derived from the tourist trade Europe did all the buying-and we did all the selling. The balance became always stronger and stronger in-our favor. Our stupendous loans in Europe brought about temporary readjustmcnt of balances, but accen- tuated them in the long run, because interesfhas got to be paid on those loans.

Last .year Canada bought twice as much' in the United .'States: as: .bought of manufacture and sale. Payment must be'made for goods that arc sold abroad. Payment must be 'the a year that is due us 'in interest. How are the nations going to pay. Well, there are just two ways in which payments, can be One is by 'shipping gold to us. This "is made difficult by the fact that the world produces but "a year in gold, outside the United States, and .if we got it all it v-ould not pay the annual interest c' 4P us. Certainly there te no chance 01 get- ting paid for our goods'in cash; The second way in which we can be paid for our goods is-in the goods of other countries. We can sell them those products -which circumstances .make it possible for us to- produce .most advantageously and economi- cally, and them the things which-they, differently, situated, can bring to market more cheaply than can. This is the method which would establish interchange that could, continue indefinitely and with mutual benefit. "This is th'e normal way in which we can adjust exchange and' establish permanent trade.
