Plans Municipal "kick Bureau"

rams WunICtpdI NICK BUREAU.
CLEVELAND, March 15-Cleve-
lands newest municipal innovation
threatens to be municipal telephone
complaint bureau.
The plan is before the city council
with the support Of City Service d.
rector Sidlo. If successful the "kick"
bureau will consist of a director and
assistants who will make it their
business to ascertain why Mrs.
Smith tried to get Mrs. Jones for two
hours when Mrs. Jones was at home
all the time;" why the line was busy
when it wasn't" why "the operator
wouldn't give Mr. Smiths nickel back
when he didn't get his party" and
the innumerable other why's that
occur every day. But the city will
not make it point to criticize the
telephone company all of the time.
The municipal directors will probe
MIR. and Mrs Subscriber" too, and
find out just who it is that was
wrong, and, If so, why.

OPEN coNFEssIoN.

A man who thinks himself quite wise
Said to me, You're a poet;
l looked at him in great surprise
And said, mot if know it."
When you were editor" said he,
sDo you recall the time
You could so very easily
Cast all your thoughts in rhyme?'
Then memories in me arose
OF how l used to curse,
OF how l used to plead for prose
And beg and plead for verse.
OF how ! wept and tore my hair
AnG' no one made sign,
In spite of me and my despair
They never wrote a line.
Until the final day of grace
Had come upon me then,
With gloom writ large upon my face
I'd wildly sieze my pen.
AID quarts of ink I'd madly sling,
And murmur, Now I'll show 'em;"
And perpetrate an awful thing,
And call that thing a poem.
So if you do not like this verse
And feel inclined to laugh,
Remember l have published worse
When was on the staff.

extended an invitation to the aged
man to visit the state. Mr.. Jaynes
said that if his health remained good
he would give the trip serious consid-

The logical choice
Before his appointments as secretary

Of tie state department. In that office
he was the principal legal adviser Of

CORN SET BACK; RYE HURT
Farmers Of North Dakota Are Taking
Stock of Frost Damage.

Farmers Of North Dakota are iii
clined TO believe that frost damage
was far less serious that at first es-
tinlated. Since the frost came there
have been severa! warm rains which
we're highly beneficial.
The corn crop has been set back
probably ten days, but aside from a
few Of the earliest fields, in which
the plant mad developed to q point
where it was jointing above ground,
the injury is not of a damaging char
acter. The percentage of the early
corn was small.
Winter rye, which was in bloom,
was hit hard. Just how great was the
damage may not be known until har-
vest. A part 0 fthe barley crop was
hurt, though the bulk of it appeared
not to have suffered any serious set
back. In a few places there are COM
plants Of damage to wheat. Early
potatoes and all kinds Of garden crops
suffered.
