SPRING FEVER.
When the blue gets back in the skies once
more
And the vines grow green round the kitchen
when the roses bud and the robins come,
/ stretch myself and say: "Ho-hum
1 ought to work but 1 guess won't,
Tho some. want riches today. I don't:
This looks to me like the sort of day
That was made to idle and dream away"
When the sun Is high and the air just right,
With the trees all blossomy, pink and white,
And the grass as soft as feather bed
With the white clouds drifting just over
head,
stretch and yawn like a school boy then
And turn away from the walks of men
And tell myself in shame-faced way
I'm going to play hockey from work
today
Here Is a morning too rare to miss,
And what is gold to a day liks this,
And what is fame to the things III see
There is work to de, but the work can
wait,
There are goals to reach. there are foes to
hate,
There are hurtfu1 things which the smart
might say,
But nothing like that shall spoil today.
And just put all of nay burdens dewn;
I'll quit the world and its common sense,
And the things men think are consequence.
To chum with birds and the friendly tree.
And try to fafhom their mysteries:
For here Is day which looks to be
The kind can frftter away on me-"

that the prune prejudice exists only in
the United States. Canada may have
been inoculated slightly. but her in
creasingly insistent demand for prunes
from the United States indicates that
she has recovered. The Dominion
government recently took off the i'm
port duty on dried prunes and the big
western growers Immediately grasped
the opportunity offered to dispose of
their crops to friendly hands and sent
agents over the line to take orders.
Nor Is the market for the Yankee
prune grower limited to Canada and
the United States. England. Belgium,
and Germany. the growers declare,
are hungry for the American prune,
and free from prejudice against prunes
of any kind. The prune lovers of the
United States are being threatened
with prune starvation and the threat
is bringing them out into the open;
shameless, determined to fight to the
last ditch for prunes.
Last year the price of prunes went
skyrocketfng at the whisper that there
would be shortage. And yet the
crop of 1919 was nearly a million
pounds heavier than that of 1920. The
prune fiends are afraid. Prunes at so
cents a pound are not an impossibility.
Prejudice. enlarged market. increased
cost of labor. transportation-all they
feel, are conspiring to deprive them of

two bodies that swayed in the wind.
The other is Spearman's story of the :
fight in the cache.
But we're a primitive soul. To sat
isfy US an author must have his folks
do little shooting; and if he can hang
a couple of cattle rastlers,' SO much
the better.
However, literature is in a better
way than we had imagined it to be.
Harold Bell Wright writes a book only
once every two years. We had, some-
how, got the impression that Mr..
Wright turns out a book every six
months.
We have done this country-a grave
injustice and we wish to apologizato
it. 1t was our impression that it was
buying Mr. Wrights books at the rate
of 100000 copies a year. 1t seems.
that it really is buying only about
100000 copies annually.

Last November. the people of the
United States voted for bread but If
indications from Washington be re-
liable, congress is preparing to give
them a stone. The program of the
extra session as set forth in the dis
patches will consist of renewal of
>the efforts to pass a tariff bill, osten-
sibly to benefit the farmers. The plan
urged by senate leaders is to neglect
the interests of the whole people while
devoting the time of congress to the
interests of a class. In view of the
importance of agriculture, this course
might be excused if it would accom-
plish the end said to be sought, but 1t
would not do SO and those senators
know it. Moreover, the opening of the
tariff question promises interminable
discussion, without actual results. The
old adage, that "a burnt child breads
the fire" does not seem to apply to
Republicans in the United States sem
ufe.

Daily Talk
ABOVE THE BLUE.


This Talk was thought out a thou
sand feet above the Atlantic ocean, in
a modern airboat. There were ten
others as companions of mine-and
the name of their cruiser was "Colum-
bust"
I thought of that other Columbus
who came in boat hardly larger
than this and over the same waters
just a little way beneath us. i was
wrapped in wonder. 1 was almost
spellbound with feeling.
We were in the air for nearly two
hours and travelled about 100 miles.
Below us the waters sparkled in the
sunlight and their various blues fasci-
mated me. Shadows from overhang-
ing clouds touched the face of the
great ocean here and there while we
went forward SO smoothly, and de-
lightfully.
Scores of flying fish skipped like
ants from wave to wave. Now and
low-hardly larger to us than the
boats we used to sail in mothers tub.
But all the time that wonderful
blue-as far as one could see!
There was the same comfort as is
to be found on a great ocean liner.
We touched an island for lunch and
then shot out into the ocean to rise
again.
And as we came to our home port
and circled over a great city. I could
see the big boats of the harbor almost
step up to greet us. Then we reached
for the arms of the ocean again-and
the trip was over.
I thought of the wrights and other
pioneers who made this great achieve
ment possible. To them must go the
glory.
The air flyer has passed the expert
mental stage. 1t now enters its great
place as a cooperative force in the
progress of the world. in the distribu-
ton of ideas, and in the uniting of the
nations.
Soon great airships will span every
part Of this little globe of ours!

WHERE OUR MONEY GOES,

Those who pan the taxes for the
support of our schools probably think
at times that the expense is great.
maybe greater than it should be. In
this connection, it may be interesting
TO note that P. p. Claxton, federal
commissioner of education. has COM
piled figures comparing the nations
expenditure for education with some
of its expenditures for other purposes.
in 1913, the last year for which COM
plete figures are available. the United
States spent for education a total of
s919.729,25S. This sum includes all
that was paid out for private and pub
lilo schools and colleges. The nations
education bin for the past so years
was $14, 552,7ee,037. DIR. Claxton es-
Inmates that from the beginning of
our history to the present day educa-
ton has cost us Approximately s1e,-
$4,000, 0OO.s
4 Teachers in the public schools in
1918 were paid $4o2,2es,516. Those
in private schools. colleges. universe
ties. etc. were paid $9O.446.724. which
makes total for teachers salaries
for that year of $492.745.24O. After
making every allowance for defective
returns we paid for education in 1918
less than $1,000. 900. 900.
Against this may be placed our lux
ury bill for 1920. 1t was $22, 200. o00.-
coo. or $s.oo0.0OO.oo0 more than We
have paid for education thruout our
whole history. The amount paid for
face powder, cosmetics. and perfumes,
/ Vas $12,00o,00D less than the total
amount expended for public elemen-
tary and secondary education in 1919
and within $5o.o00.0oO of twice the
total amount OF salaries paid teachers
in public elementary ana secondary
schools.

The Boston Transcript" voices the
general opinion of the country that
it would be wiser for the congress to
attend to reforming taxes before 1t
tackles the problem of the tariff.
Everybody wants juster system of
taxation. The burden. is on all. On
the question of tariff there are wide
differences of opinion. A change in
the tax laws would receive universal
approval, but no change in the tariff
can fail to find savage critics. and
congress will be wise to begin with
what all want rather than what is
sure to find opponents.
