A LONELY WORLD.

It's getting so l want to see
The green returning to the tree,
l want to hear the robins song
The birds have been away so long
That I've begun to wonder when
They'll come to build their nests again,
AS when the youngsters so away
And all alone at home | stay,
The world has lonely grown to me,
For everywhere l turn to see
Some spot deserted and in gloom
Where friendly blossoms ought to bloom.
The corner where the children play
Looks up at me, as IL to say
when shall hear the shouts of glee
Which are the breath of life to me?"
And from limb the creaking swing
Seems waiting TO behold the spring.
l know they're tired of walls and flaors.
The youngsters should be out-of -doUrs,
And street and lawn need merry feet
To make their loneliness complete.
I'm hungry now once more to see
The world arrayed as it should be.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.


Chicago, April 7.--Wheat aver
aged higher today owing more or
less to buying based ON correct an
tlclpations that the government
crop report would suggest small
er yield than had been figured
upon in recent private estimates.
The market closed unsettled, at the
same as yesterdays finish to / "a G
advance with May $1.36 to $1.36A
and July $t.13 to $1.13A. Corn
gained Nc to Is and oats &C to
nc to 9sc. In provisions the out
come was 25c to 75c decline.
According to the government re-
port a yield of 21,00O.000 bushels
may be looked for, whereas until
today majority of traders were
expecting 630.000,000 to SAC, 000,-
600 bushels. Under such circum-
stances undoing of spreads consti-
tuted much of the current dealings,
May being sold and July bought, a
circumstance which helped to eX-
plain the relative strength of the
new crop month. July. Prevailing
low temperatures in some sections
of the west tended further to hard
en- prices. but no damage was re-
ported The chief handicap to the
bulls was the economic outlook,
especially the breakdown of ef-
forts to bring about settlement of
the British coal strike.
Corn and oats were firmer with
wheat and as a result Of the
of receipts, together
with wet weather delay to seeding
of oats. Downturns in hogs weak
ened provisions.

outline MIR. DE BEKKER.

Another witness who dared oppose Intervention
and who appeared before the senate subcommittee
Leander j. De Becker. paid member of the
Mexican committee of the League of Free Nations
association, Mr. De Becker testified that he had
been chiefly responsible for the activities of the
committee in it's attempt to reply to the prop
Uganda favoring intervention in Mexico.
At the outset, the Journal wishes to say that it
holds no brief for or against Mr.. Dc Becker, or
for any other propaga1disb whether pro-inter'
ventonist or anti interventiohist "..
We are merely inquring into the strange "co.
Incidence that caused Mr. Fan to adopt an in
quisitorial attitude toward a number Of witnesses
who were opposed to fnterventon--an attitude
that we have been unable to find displayed toward
witnesses whose testimony was unfsvorablo to
Mexico. = ..
In the course Of his examination Of Mr. De
Rekker Mr.. Fall said -

atrocities and by the SANDER Of the whole

Mr., De Becker, of course, realized that he was

Now any law student will tell that, unless
q witness qualities expert, he is not to be
asked his opinion his conclusion from state
of facts, but to testify to the facts themselves.
For instance. witness should not be asked
whether he thinks the defendant guilty, but
should be required merely to rece the facts that
have, come under his observation tending to prove
or to dsprove the defendants guilt Mr.. Fall
is an experienced lawyer, and knows this well
as any one else.
Throughout his examination of witnesses hold

catechizing attitude. But citing only the
cases where the chairmans hostile frame of mind

one day, as the bunny gentleman
was about to hop out for his adj
venture hunt.
What is it," asked Mr. Long
ears.
Fire tongs," answered Nurse
Jane. you know those things
like long legged pincers that you
pick up burning logs with, to make
them burn better in the fireplace
We have andirons, which the logs
rest on as they burn; we have a
fire shovel, little broom and a
poker, as well as a fender. But we
have no tongs."
We certainly ought to have

WALL Street
lBy The AasocInted preas \

New York. April The stock
market today relinquished con-
siderable part of the general adj
vance registered earlier in the
week, developments favoring the
short interest.
London cables stressed an Access
sion of pessimism in financial cir
Giles, growing out of the more omi-
nous aspects of the British indus
trial situation and occasioned mod
crate liquidation here for foreign
account, including Holland.
Domestic industrial conditions
also became more complicated by
the decision of the railroad labor
board denying application of the
New York Central for immediate
provisional reduction of the UNI
skilled labor wage schedule.
Publication of the government
crop report, forecasting the fourth
largest winter wheat yield in his
tory, failed to stimulate Transport
tation shares, some of which. in
GLIDING S'rangers, were decidedly
heavy.
Market prices We're at lowest
averages in the last half hour when
free selling resulted from an UNI
expected advance in call money
from 5 " to 61a per cent due, ac-
cording to reports, to calling of
loans by interior banks.
Stocks most affected comprised
a number of industrials and spe-
cialties whose earnings and divi-
dend prospects are generally class
ed as doubtful. Chief among these
were the feathers and chemicals,
together with numerous allied is
sues. Sales, 100000 shares. %,
Exchange rates on London and
Paris eased only slightly, Dutch,
Italian and Scandinavian bills
hardening. Remittances to South
points reflected the
chaotic trade conditions there.
Liberty bonds were firm, as also
were some of the French munich
pals, but most other domestic and
foreign issues lacked definite trend.
Total sales, par value. were SILL
$4,000.

frames, with the gliding dulled, and
a narrow mat.
The average home of today has
| too many pictures on it's walls. A
flew good pictures simply framed,
gives evidence of an artistic taste.
Hang your pictures flat against the
wall-not fitting out at the top, as
our ancestors hung them. And do
hot hang them too high. They
should be on level with the eye.
The size. of a picture should be
adjusted to the wall space. A long
picture looks well in vertical
space, and a broad picture in a hor-
| izontal space. Sometimes a neat
grouping of small pictures will be
more effective than<a very large
picture in the same space - or
than it would be to scatter these
small pictures here and there
about the room. -
And now q word as to appropri-
ateness of certain pictures in GER
tain rooms. The day is past when
photographs in our living rooms
for all the world to gaze upon;
these properly hang in our bed
Irooms. OF course the living room
may contain those fine old por-
traits in oils of our ancestors which
are today considered in the nature
of antiques. 1t may also contain
nature views, wood engravings,
etchings or other prints of dignifiel
SUBJECTS; photographs of some
beautiful piece of architecture or
spot of landscape; and good oil
paintings, water colors, ct cetera.
Mrs. r. Answer.--Grass rugs are
cleaned by scrubbing them with
salty water. You need not remove
yours from the floor to do this
but open the windows and let the
rug dry well before allowing it to
be stepped upon again.

Grandpa Goosey took from his
window the tongs. They were, as
| have said, like pair of long
legged pincers. The ends were flat
like a big, old-fashioned penny,
and with the tongs it was easy to
pick up burning ember from the
hearth where 1t had fallen and
place it back on the fire.
"I1l take these said Uncle
Wiggily, and away he hoped with
them over the fields and through
the woods with the fire tongs. He

some place where nobody will object.
1t is not up to the tax payers to
shoulder this burden. It is as UNI
just as to make the tax payers in the
suburbs pay taxes for a sewer sys-
tenn that does not reach them nor
serve them and which may never be
extended to them.
This Is an irrigated country and
people must have water service in
bitches but citizens should not get
pin-headed and think that the city
government has to be father to
them and furnish them ditch and
ditch service. If that policy were
followed to its logical conclusions in
practice it would mean extravaganza
and waste, Unjust taxation would be
found on every hand and it would be
placing premium on owning as lit
tie as possible, making as much ex-
pense as possible and making the
larger property owners pay the bulk
OF 1t and adopting the slogan, "Who
cares for the prosperous folks!"
When that idea is carried to its ex-
tremes it amounts to confiscation.
Reduced to its simplest terms, con-
fiscation becomes banditry, human
life is no longer respected, anarchy
becomes the rule and civilization
