Climate

For ba1my airs I've always
wished, and now I have my
hearts desire; the finest climate
ever dished surrounds me as |
crank my Tyre. The summer
brings no sizzling heat, but from
the sea cool breezes blow; the
winter has no snow or sleet to
fill rheumatic legs with woe.
But when | lay me down to
sleep | dream of Kansas every
night; of Kansas, where wild
billiards sweep, and summer
heat is just fright. Some
day, no doubt, will depart for
Eden, where all things are fine.
where scalding teardrops never
start, and grief and woe take in
their sign. There with the
saints | hope to roam along the
crystal rivers shore, exulting in
that final home where sorrow
SOakS us neVermOre. But still
my thoughts will wander thence
at times. when choruses are
stilled: | lean against the
jasper fence. and with strange
longings III be filled. Strange
longings for the old elm trees
beneath whose boughs | used to
stray; strange longings for the
Kansas breeze. that blew our
county seat away. New splen-
dors rise at every turn. new
glories every hour | find: yet
my old heart must ever yearn
for those dear scenes | left be-

BETTER SERVICE ASKED.
Grocers Seek Improved Freight
Conditions.

Better service in handling less than
carload lots of freight in the south
has been asked by the Southern
Wholesale Grocers' Association of
Jacksonville. Fla, in a plea sent today
to the railroads serving the south.
Service rendered in handling. less car
load freight is in rut. the associa-
tion claims. =
The assertion is made that whiie- the
method of handling carload ship
ments has advanced, less than car
load shipments have suffered great
ly.r AS the great bulk of their busi-
ness constitutes shipments to small
retail grocers. the association be-
lieyes more attention should be. given
to the development of this short haul
less than carload business. A few
months ago the association by reso-
luton indorsed the motor truck as
being paramount for handling busi-
ness of this character.
Plans are now being laid to intro
duce the cooperative idea of motor
truck transportation in western New
York.

start will assure even better results

there is prospect of splendid crop.

obtained The outlook is for labor
scarcity, with the further probability
that higher wages will be demanded.
The growers return Is considered a
problem even by the experts in the
business. A good price was obtained
last year. but some of the crop is still
on hand. The greatest retarding fac
tor was the amazing decrease in con
sumption. America had worked up to
a per capita average Of eight pounds,
but the average was cut in half last
year. Many merchnts nticipted
drop in prices and refrained from
stocking up; there were all sorts or
transportation embargoes and fall-
ures, and the distribution was con-
tracted In other ways, so that the con-
suming public could not get the rice

be fully revived in time and that this

Whatever may be the merit of
the argument for or against the

apparent it has five or six clubs

American clubs ore not so fortu-
