The Dismal Spring

1t was cold and dreary spring
the little birds refused to sing
the winds were signing night and
day, the clouds would never go
away; the earth had widowed,
twas so moist, and only ducks and
frogs rejoiced. 1t was the weather
made US sad, and not the news
from Petrograd or tidings of a
French reverse, a German vic
tory, or worse. Our country
marching into war-that's not
what we've been weeping for
Give us bright days and sunny
skies and pessimism promptly
dies. Well face the direst, grim
NEST news and pass along our
cheer-up views; we'll hear of
pillage, death and wreck and
smilingly we'll be on deck, insist
ing that tomorrow dawn will see
the cloud of trouble gone. But
when the skies are gray and bleak
and rain keeps falling by the week
and weary winds of wailing tones
chill all the marrow in our bones,
fits hard to spring the sunny smile.
the efforts hardly worth our
while. If you would see a joyful
clan, why. then. convert the
weather man. Convince him that
his punk old clouds are most de-
pressing to the crowds. Persuade
him that his tinhorn rain gives
every man a convex pain.

Says Shippers Are Careless.

THE price Of perishable foodstuffs is
kept up and the available supply re-
duced by carelessness on the part of
shippers and transportation agents,
Some such foods are not prepared prop
erly for shipment or else not properly
cared for while on the road
Ten barrels Of fish and three barrels
Of crabs had to be condemned recently
on their arrival because they had not
been properly iced. Large quantities of
green vegetables. too, arrived in the
city in an unstable condition because
of poor packing or delayed transporta-
ton. A campaign of education among
shippers and transportation agents, or
in the present emergency even a law
compelling the proper preparation of
foodstuffs that are to be shipped, would
seem to be called for. since the ship
ment of such materials under Improve r
conditions not only tends to reduce the
food supply. but tends unnecessarily TO
congest traffic"

broadway, n. y:
Here is an important question
which I would like answered through
your paper: Why is it a stOrekeeper
must pay more for your paper than
the newsstand and why can the lat
ter return leftovers and not the for
mer?
"Fhe trust papers do not make eX-
ceptiOns; their prices are the same
to all, no matter to whom and no
matter how many you purchase. Why
then should your paper, a Socialist
paper make any exceptions?
You might give me the argument
that the newsstand makes a living
from the papers only, while the store
keeper does not, but you know the
latter has a greater expense for rent,
light, etc. A speedy reply would be
appreciated
Although a stamped return enve-
IOpe was enclosed in my letter, nO.re-
ply was received. l should like very
much to- hear other peoples views
