little red squirrel lives in a tree
near our home and we are getting to
be quite good friends.
When first saw him. he was on a
limb of tree just over my head, and
what a noise he did make. think he
was trying to tell me to go away. I
put two or three nuts on the ground
near the tree, and he soon came and
picked them up. You ought to have
seen how funny he looked with two
large nuts in his mouth.

A FOOLISH POSTAL BILL

The congressional postal committees have prepared bill to set the postal department to editing all the newspa. pers, magazines and weekly periodicals in the country.
 That this is not an extreme statement of the purpose of the measure let the words of the accompanying committee report be cited:
 Another consequence of the expan- sive power of fiction is found in the confusion of the newspaper and maga- zine type and the unhealthy exaggera- ton of the modern newspaper, as shown especially in its Sunday edition.
 "The newspaper is rapidly being ex- tended into the magazine field at the sacrifice both of the postal revenue and the true mission of the newspaper. The miscellaneous matter contained in the Sunday issue of newspaper must of necessity lack the quality to make it socially and edueationally valuable." "
 The committees are properly charged with recommending postal rates on mail matter; no publisher objects to their doing so. But when their members try to distinguish between the "magazine type of printed matter and the "news.' paper type and to determine just what the magazine field" is, they do what no editor has ever yet been wise enough to accomplish and what no giv. ernment official should be permitted to attempt.
 Almost incredible are the means pro posed to check the "unhealthy exag. geration" of the newspaper. Thus:
 No newspaper or pavt or section of newspaper or other periodical must consist wholly or substantially of fie tiOn.'
 This provision would bar "fetion supplements from the Sunday newspa. pers, It would kill severa excellent magazines devoted entirely to fiction.

THE MAN WITH THE SHOVEL


 (Apologies) With burdened look upon his mug he
 dons His mitts. And then with shovel firmly
 grasped, He makes grim onslaught on the snowy

 he is He straightway chesty gets, for then he
 knows They think he s all the cream. And
 soft he says: '"oh, m the noble husband, every
 time'' The porch cleaned off, he pipes the snow

 his ear, But he must finish or endure piker s

 change He also sometimes shovels of and off. At last, when all is done, and muscles

THE SAFEST WAY

Speak gently to your peevish boss;
 Have nothing mean to say. Hand back no talk when he is cross,
 Lest he cut of your pay. Speak gently to the surly "gents'
 Who come into the store. Their ire is apt to wax intense
 In ease you make them sore. Speak gently to the women folk;
 They are a eaptious crew, And you will find it is no joke,
 If they get after you. Speak to these people all
 Throughout the daily strife; And then go home and vent your gall
 Upon your helpless wife.

Under It's provisions Mir. Glider of the Century or Mir. Alden of Harper's Mag azine would be unable to issue "mid- summer fiction number" and send it through the mails.
 Again, it is provided that
 "No newspaper or part or section of a newspaper must have advertising to a greater extent than 50 per cent of its superficial area. "
 This would not only prevent the ar engagement of advertisements into sec tions, which are so convenient for those seeking employment oi employees, but it would exclude from the mails any edi- tion of newspaper in which late rush of advertising happened to exceed 30 per cent of the total space.
 Again:
 Each part or section of a newspaper must be of the same size, form and weight of paper
 What conceivable purpose this pro- vision has, except to prevent supplement illu strations f,om being printed upon better paper than the hurried main sheer, Mir. Penose can perhaps explain.
 Federal regulation of the arts and in' dustries is just now fashionable, but it has its danger liihits. If the postofiice department may edit fiction out of the newspapers and magazines, prescribe their size and shape and determine the percentage of advertising, how long will it be before the blue pencils of Wash ington censors may be turned upon the editorial criticism of public measures which is essential to free republief
