THE SONG OF THE GARDENS

''i feel 50 happy this morning, said
Dolly. ~ am sure something very uieC
is going to happen
She had hardly gotten the words out
cf her mouth when she saw the Queen
of the Dewdrop Fairies-for by this
time she was quite sure that this must
be her name-standing on the vine
leaf waiting for her,
- | am glad you are happy, Dolly, "
said the Fairy. "Ard | am glad that
the garden makes you happy-it does
doesn't itan
"Oh, yes! | never was so happy as
have been since ] have been seeing the
pictures in the dewdrcps and hearing
about all the things that grow in cur
garden. l hope the fairies viii 90 on
showing me all these things"
~ think they will, Should YOU like
to hear a Song of Gardens2n
" Yes, indeed, | would-piease let
me hear it, cried Dolly, very much
pleased because she loved to sing.
a" Well, this time instead Of locking
into my dewdrop, inst put your car
down and listen.
Dolly leaned over and listened with
all her might. And this is what she
heard. sung by a chorus of the sweet
est little voices you can think Of.
oh, sing a song Of e rdens.
OF ground so warm and sweet,
Where grow the pretty flowers,
And things for MS to eat.
The rosy, round tomatoes,
The cabbage and the beans,
The good Irish potatoes,
And spinach, too, for greens.
The earth is the kind of mother
Who nurses baby seeds;
She gives us many blessings.
And all the world she feeds.
She makes the grass and clover
For all the cows to eat.
And then they give Us butter,
And milk, so rish and sweet.
The sun is the good father,
Who sends his golden rays
To help his growing children
Through the spriug and summer days
And, sometimes rough, but friendly
Is good old uncle rain;
He brightens up the flowers,
And freshens all the grain.
SO sing a song Of gardens,
Places Of health and joys; /
The happiost places an the world
For little girls and boys |
"oh, " cried Dolly, clapping he,
hands, 81 never heard anything so
lovely. 1t is bee-oo.tee-ful. Couldn't | |
learn that song!"
perhaps, some time,o said the
Fairy. IF you stpdysyour music Won
might be able to sing it and get your
music teacher to write il for YOU so
all the little girls ard boys could sing
il.
That's just what I will do, " said
Dolly.

CABLE. COMPANIES
 LOSE FIRST ROUND.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-The injunc- tion suit brought by the Commercial Cable company and the Commercial Pacific Cable company to restrain Postmaster General Burleson from taking over for the government their respective cable lines and merging them with lines controlled by the Western Union Telegraph company Leonard Hand. Counsel for the com panies announced that an appeal would be taken.
 Judge Hand decided the case on it's merits. passing without decision the jurisdictiOnal questions raised by the United States district attorney who conended that the suit could not be maintained on the ground that it was directed against the United States and in effect against the president
 Taking up the claims Of plaintiffs that the seizure of the cable lines on November 16, five days after the sign ing of the armistice was not justified b ythe joint resolution of July Is, 1918. authorizing the president to seize cables when he deemed it necessary for the national security and defense, '' and that the resolution itself was not sufficient warrant for the seizure, Judge Hand decided both claims ad- versey.
 Commenting on the contention of counsel for the cable companies that the necessity" for seizure within the meaning of the joint resolution had terminated with the signing of the ar mistice, Judge Hand said:
 The resolution expressly extends the powers until peace has been de- clared. Had they (congressl intended that a suspension of hostilities should terminate the right they would not have said precisely the contrary
 The right of congress to authorize such seizure by the president was justified by Judge Hand on the ground that as commander in chief of the armed forces of the nation. the presi- dent was permitted by the constitution to hold either money or property tC be used for the national defense

AIR CHIEF TELLS
 0F AVIATION FEATS

NEW YORK. Jan. 1O.-Marvels of aviation development in the United States during the war. more like a fairy tale than the statement of hard facts, which it is in reality" were de- scribed here tonight by Major General George o. Squier, chief signal officer of the United States army, in an address before the American institute of elec- trical engineers.
 The radio telephone, an invention which enabled American air squadron commanders to direct and control by voice the movement of individual units, who in turn helped allied artil- lerymen to silence enemy guns. was eXtolled as one of the greatest devices of the war The production of 14,000 liberty motors up to November II, with an equivalent of 5,700,000 horse power, was cited as another remarkable achievement. and the motor itself as an accomplishment in constructive imagination tnd far-sightedness which will ever be a cause of pride to the American people,
 General Squier. in the course of his address. which was delivered by direc- tion of the secretary of war, told of in teresting experiments conducted by the signal corps in aerology to aid the American eXpeditionary forces. It was ascertained from these, he said that above the level of 10000 feet, 95 percent Of the winds are from west 10 east, and often attain Velocities of 100 miles an hour. On November ., 1918. al Chatta nooga, Tenn, he said. a velocity of l54 miles an hour was observed at a heioht of 2S, 900 feet. Knowledge of these con- ditions, he added, would be of the ut most importance in the future of av-
 ation
 Another scientific accomplishment of the air servte, the speaker said. was the production of helium, 8 non in flammabel g s. in quantities sufficient for balloon use Predicting that with it's use safe transcontinental and trans Atlantic travel in dirigibles would be come commonplace, the general cred ited the navy department and the bu- reau of mines with cooperation which brought about it's development to q "@'," ctical degree before the close of the war

CONTINUE FEDERAL PACKING CONTROL
 HEARING IN |. |. |.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1o.-Hearings were continued by senate and house in terstate commerce committees today on pending bills providing for government control of the meat packing industry Walter l.. Fisher counsel for the mar. keting committee of the American Ma tiOnal Livestock Association and for mer secretary of the interior, appeared before the house committee.
 MT. Fisher said the food administra- tlon had not carried out it's program of making public every ten weeks trial balances of the business done by the five big meat packing houses.
 Before the food administration put into effect it's licensing system he said, it was supposed to make thor ough investigation of the packers books. An investigation was conducted. he said. but by dollar year men fur nished by the packers themselves. Only one trial balance was ever made public. and that showed losses in nearly every branch of the business. Mr. Fisher said he did not know whether other trial balances had been obtained by the food administration or not
 Mr. Fisher also said the food admin istration had promised to allow the Livestock producers association to eX- anime the books of the packers to as certain now much profit they were making, but that this permission never was given. He suggested that the com mlttee secure from the food admins tration all records concerning the pack CTS and closely examine them
 Edward l.. Burke, of Omaha. rep resentins the marketing committee ol the American National Livestock Asso- citation. testified that livestock commits sion men usually are dependent on the packers for office quarters. banking facilities and other favors. and conse- quently do not defend the interests of producers adequately. He said comnis sIon men should be regulated by the government. Benjamin C Marsh. sec retarY of the farmers national con- mlttee on packing plants. said an ovei whelmlng majority of farmers in the united States approve the proposec leglsiauon to promQte government con trol ot stock wards and packing plants and expect enactment before the ad lournment of this session of congress March ,.
 Senator Pomerene. of Ohio. said he thought 1t had been demonstrated tha, both producers and consumers had cause to complain of the meat situation put that congress. in providing for Ii. cense ot packers and stock ward inter. ests. should prescribe strictly the limit, or authority of the government licens.

RUBLE PROB|T|ON
 FINDERS RUSSIAN
 TRADE WITH WORLD

PARIS. Jan. 9.-So far the entente powers and the United States have taken no steps to prevent exchange transactions in Russian rubles, al though individually they are in control by censorship of doubtful transactions, thus preventing the bolsheviki from ac- cumulating propaganda funds in var ious countries
 Scandinavian countries have defi- nitely forbidden dealings in ruble eX- change since the withdrawal of then legations from Petrograd. This action was taken because of the disorders caused in neutral countries by M. Lit vinoff, the ambassador in London. and sheVik premier-
 AS result of regulations now in force, extensive commercial activitie, between the Russian soviet government and outside powers have been made impossible
 Surprising development in the Rus sian currency situation is the an nouncement from Moscow that the cen. tral soviet has entirely suppressed the circulation Of money and has substi- tuted work coupons for il. Even by the issuance of unlimited paper rubles, without any guarantee behind them, the bolsheviki have been unable to pro- vide sufficient money for their country. Fearing to bank their money the peU- pie have hoarded it and the printing presses have been unable to meet the demands to finance ordinary purchases.
 BolsheVik leaders have argued in sistently that money Is unnecessary and that the world would eventually turn back to barter based upon labor Experienced international financial ex- perts, believe, however, that foreign pressure in limiting ruble exchange has hastened the suppression of ruble cir culatiCn by the bolsheviki.

SPAIN WILL ENTER
 UNION IF NATIONS

MADRID, Jan. 10.-(By the Asso- ciated Press)-Concerning the entry of Spain into league of nations. King Alfonso, in the course of long in terview with the editor of the Madrid Review. said today:
 Spain is q progressive nation and is disposed to live within the con- cert of nations. She must. by her commercial relations and her treaties, maintain close union with her neigh bors.
 "The trip to Paris by Count Roman ones. our premier, was of enormous importance. It resulted in a demon stration of the fact that Spain is in a position to be useful and that in d situation such as this that we can be considered seriously. Count Roman ones is one Spainsh statesman who has shown the greatest courage dur ing the war by his convictions and the manner of setting them forth. His loyalty has been proved and the pa triotism he has rendered has been of enormous service to Spain"

NOTED BOER FAVORs
 LEAGUE OF NATIONS

LONDON, Jan. 10.-1n a pamphlet published today entitled "A League of Nations, Q Program for the Peace Con- ference" General Jans Christian Shuts, former member of the British war cabinet, says it is necessary to view league of nations not only as a possible means to prevent future wars, but as a great organ for the orderly and peaceful life of civilization and as the foundation of new international system.
 The war, he declares, has wrought a fundamental change in the political map of Europe. The Russian, Austrian and Turkish empires already have disappeared, while Germany, even if she survives the storms of the com ing days. will lose her subject races of non German blood
 General Smuts proposes that all new states shall conform to the new order of ideas and should agree to raise no military forces and collect no arma ments beyond what the league declares to he reasonable.
