Bed Time ales
Jack Frost and the Dezo Drops
By Clara Ingram Judson.

THERE was morning when the
dew drops didn't dry up hrst
thin9-nor did they slide of onto the
ground and vanish as they do some
tines-and his IS why they didn't:
For some days Jack Frost had been
shopping around the gardens TO see If
there wasn't anything for him to do.
One evening he arrived with his
brother, White Frost. They found the
garden looking very dainty and sweet
In the moonlight
This is just the place for u.s."
shouted Jack, how we can eat these
things all up and have a beautiful
time"
But IN the meantime word has gone
around IN fairy land that Jack Frost
was loose, and the fairies sent 4 mes
sage TO the southwest wind.
Come at once" II said, eve need
you quickly, for Jack Frost is here and
he IS going TO spoil our gardens"
So the south wind came flying north
ward. blowing as he came.
All night long the wind blew soft
and warm through the garden
Now Jack Frost can't eat up dainty
flowers when the warm soft wind Is
blowing; he tried to, but the wind blew
ard blew till his wings began 20 melt
and he had TO fee for his life to the
north.
When they saw him vanish north
ward all the fairies breathed a sigh of
relief and settled again TO their play.
But their safety didn't last long.
For q few nights later the south
wind went on a visit 10 his home
country.
And when he was gone so far, far
south that the fairies couldn't find
him. Jack Frost came again, shopping,
shopping round the garden.
And the flowers shivered and shook
as he passed.
All night he brooded over the garden
His icy wings spread over the leaves
and flowers.
And the moon shone clear and cold
and the south wind was far, far away
On a journey.
In the morning such sorry sight

north again because he wanted to see
about something he had forgotten to
do.
So that night Jack Frost stayed away
and the flowers slept warm and peace
ful under the shehering wing of the
south wind.
In the morning, when the dew drop
fairies began TO look around they saw
that each nasturtium leaf had q stiff
curled-up edge-left by Jack Frost.
So the drop of dew stayed safe on
the leaf-surrounded by the curled up
edge and didn't slide off all day.
And people VINO went out TO the gar
den at noon time saw in the center of
each curled up leaf a drop of silver
that was really dew.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Kitchen utensils made of wood may
be kept clean and white by rubbing
with soap and lukewarm water to which
is added a little common soda or house
hold ammonia.
When the clothes line needs washing
wind it around board and scrub with
a stiff brush.
To remove ink from linen, dip the
spots in melted tallow. Wash as usual.
Cabbage should never be boiled
longer than so minutes. for when the
time is heightened the leaves lose
their tender crispness and become soft
and dark-colored.

AnL SAINT
Banking System Is Weak.
The cotton crisis in the south eill
| demonstrate the weakness Of
our national banking system. The
regional banks will be able to meet
only stringency conditions. They
will not benefit very much the actual
producers. nor will they solve the
question Of cheaper money" Charles
W. Holman. editor of the University
of Wisconsin press bureau. makes
this criticism after a trip into the cot
ton states investigating the land ques-
ton for the United States commits
sion on industrial relations.
Everywhere In the south Is this
cry for cheap money. In Oklahoma
there is a pitable battle going on
against the usury sharks.
The whole Industrial fabric of the
south is woven from a bale of cot
ton. The crop totals annually about
a billion dollars. For generations
cotton has been grown upon a ten
month credit basis. Most of the mon
ey that is usually realized on the sale
of the crop is already over due to
banks, merchants and private money
lenders. They are protected BY
chattle mortgages on crops and all
available implements and work stock
the tenant farmers may possess.
But this ear there is no marke;
for the huge cotton crop. The Eng
lish and German mills cannot pur-
chase in sufficient quantities to re-
lieve southern distress.
1T becomes necessary. therefore.
for the farmers 10 carry that cotton
until there is a market. To do this.
the farmers must have money cheap
er than the 10 per cen so common
as a minimum charge. II Is not sur
prising, therefore. that the southern
people want the government to do
something more fundamental than
placing in the hands of the banking
interests additional funds to END at
the legal rate of interest.
Distress of whole sections necessi-
tates limiting the rate of interest.
and fixing the amount of money that
can be lent on a commodity so un-
prishable and 30 standardized in the
worlds cotton"
