Among Birds.

In n great white-oak tree slowly
dying of age and neglect and OF
fering its decaying limbs as a refuge
for the little flock OF the forest there
lived a woofpecker and an owl. The
owl had night Job and was a very
quiet neighbor
The woodpecker worked during
the day, drilling a dead limb for
bugs and worms He was very par
ticular about his appearance and
even while working wore white
waistcoat ard a brilliant red cap.
He was not n shirker, however. His
tools were kept in perfect order and
he was a remarkably fast and ef-
ficiont workman, fully deserving the
good fortune that fell 10 his lot.
One morning a wandering jay
came 10 the white oak and asked
for job.
Can you drill holes? asked the
woodpecker.
II have never tried" replied the
jay; but ! could learn"
"Ill try YOU" the woodpecker
said. This is my limb You may
begin work at once, and your pay
will lie one half Of all the bugs and
worms you dig out
The Jay set TO work and mahe
good His bill was not made for
drilling. but the wood was soft and
the work llght.
The woodpecker sat on another
limb and watched the Jays labors.
and his neck muscles gerw soft as
his waistline expanded, Idieness

The woodpecker was dumfounded

he demanded, Here 60 is time for

place. Look az that fat bug crawl

a soul TO fetch It to me- This
country is going 10 the dogs"
Thus he Erumhled until evening
when hunger got the better of piquo
and impelled him to set about get
ting his own supper. He drilled with
his old.time vigor and soon ap-
peased his appetite but the unac-
customed labor tired his neck and
magnified his grievance.

OF my quality having this sort OF
work 10 do. | can do It as well as
another in case of emergency-but.
great guns. how it strains my neck"
The owl had emerged from his
bedroom and was stretching his
wings to generate a little energy be-
fore going to his work. He heard
the woodpecker's plant and
chuckled
My dear young friend" ne said,
"straining your neck is good for
your soul. Before you became a
victim OF foolish notions and that
important feeling your neck was
tougher than a steel spring Loafmg

element is the determination of busi-
ness interests to carry into effect
new policy of conducting their affairs
on sane and conservative lines, looking
toward stability and continuance in
busiess rather than to the policy which
until recently prevailed of doing as
much business as possible at high
prices on a basis Of excited public
buying with resulting abnormal prfits.
Wholesale Commodity Market.
With few exceptions, the wholesale
markets. are now in a condition OF
inactivity not paralleled since the pc
riod of uncertainty which followed the
armistice. Normally, this is the dull
est season of the year and the condi-
ton of stagnation is partially to be
ascribed to that fact. To a far greater
extent, however, it is the result of
Widespread realization which has at
last become general throughout the
business community, that the present
downward price movement is not a
temporary tendency bu decline to-
ward new level applicable to post
war conditions, a level which can be
found only by cautious experimental
tion in the markct 1t is possible that
in some commodities this new level
has already been reached.
Railroad Rates.
The necessity for an advance in rail-
road rates had long been beyond argu-
ment, but even among those who re-
garded this advance as necessary there
had been considerable doubt as to
the effect upon prices Of products
which move on tonnage basis Tenn
porarily the effect of these rate adj
vances will be reflected in prices of
bulky articles, although there should
be little or no reflection in prices of
articles the value Of which is relative
ly high in relation to weight. Certain
offsetting circumstances are not to be
ignored. however. AS long ps the rail-
rods we're unable adequately to ex-
pand their facilities to handle the
freight offered to them, business in all
lines suffered under a most serious
handicap because Of hampered trans
portation. In some cases this has been
reflected violently in prices. If the
rate advances enable the railroads to
build up their plant and equipment
sufficiently to handle freight, expan-
sion Of production in all lines will be-
come possible, and the friction involv-
ed | nthe present process of distribu-
tion will be eliminated. 1t will take a
considerable time to reach this result,
but when 1t is attained the final eff
feet of increased rates will be to lower
prices.
