THE FROST ELVES

When YOU and have gone to bed
Safe in the land of drowsyhead,
The tiny frost elves venture out
And work ami frolic all about.
They ride down on the passing breeze
And snip the dead leaves from the trees
And flowers by the garden wall
Just feel their breath and down they
fail
They seek the stream, and in 4 trice.
Have quilt y bridge of crystal ice,
And leave il there for our delight
When Day brings back the morning
light.
And sometimes they get very bold
And come and fill the house with cold
Through cracks in doors and windows
creep
And nip our noses where we sleep.
And sometimes. with a bush of air,
They fill the panes with etchings rare
And all the time they move around
SO quiet you can't hear a sound

We would not for the world, say a word that

of that job would work injury to the people at

public job unnecessarily large number OF
persons hold such jobs there is injury to the

We have in mind the practice of legislatures il
the past creating large numbers of positions for
clerks many of whom could not clerk typewriters
who had never touched the keys of a machine and
stenographers who had heard of Gregg or
Pitman. That is not be the case this year 1t
the professed intention the legislature and we
believe the legislature means it, to employ more
clerks than are needed and to employ only those
who can best facilitate its work; only those whose

to serious consideration is that of the
Financial Chronicle usually publish
ed in the early part of June. The es-
innate of this trade paper has in the
past been fairly accurate and it is
probable that this year its figures will
be accepted as an approximately cor
rect indication of the cultivated area.
One favorable factor in the situation
is the continued heavy exports, but
well known authorities in the trade
contend that this represents past bust
ness, and that in view of the heavy
European stocks, which are record
breakers, a most decided falling off
in the outgo will be noticed from now
on. Not only are European stocks
pointed out. the worlds visible supply
is over 100000 bales which exceeds
any previous figures at this season of
the year by almost two million bales
Considering the price of the staple
these statistics harly justify a bullish
position unless ii develops later that
consumption increases beyond present
expectations or the next crop is well
below normal. As yet we have moth
ing on which to base an accurate es-
innate of supply and demand condi-
tions covering the next six months.
Until crop prospects, then, are more
clearly defined, it would appear wise
to defer purchases except on weak
spots and then only for quick turns.
