BETTY AND THE FAIRIES

The early morning light came
creeping across the prairie lands,
waking the birds, and causing
IHll the little twiul,ling stars to
Ilude until another night should
come for the little stars always
dance and play after the great
Iun has gone to bed The noisy
little prairie dogs woke too and
the sauey gray owls that live in
Ilhe burrows with them. The
prairie dogs began to bark at
the tiny rim Of sun as soon as
| it came pceping above the low
and,hills toward the east
Bonnie stretched his sturdy
young legs and arms, and open
ed his eyes, lie WASH I just sure
whether it had been the bark
ing of the prairie dogs or the
rising sun, that woke him. But
which ever it was he was glad
| to be Weakened for he wished
TO be up extra early, The lit
tie old clock in the kitchen was
just striking five as he finished
dressing and went to build the
fire in the range.
AS soon as breakfast was over
Bonnie said to his mother, "We
finished hoeing the potatoes last

going to climb old Haystack
Mountain, viii you make lunch

"Oh, mamma! | want to go

betty.
"Why, childl you couldn't
walk half way there before your
dear little legs would ache SO
terribly you'd think they Were
going to fall off, replied nam
ina. Then to Bonnie she said
Yes son I'll make a nice lunch
for you right away for Of course
you will want to start at once.

Betty began to cry very soft
ly to herself, she just couldn't
see why she should not go, for
l[aystack Mountain looked so
close, why it seemed to tower
right out Of the end of daddie's
corn field, almost.
Bonnie got bottle and filled
it with water-it made one very
thirsty to climb even a small
mountain - so each one was to
carry small supply Betty
watched Bonnie as he hurried
off across the fields toward Uncle
WeSlie'S little new house, where
he was to meet the others. She
was almost four years old now,
and felt quite grown up, and,
ANYWAY it was dreadfully lonely
when Bonnie was gone all day.
After little While she put
on her sunbonnet and went out
among the flowers, She gather
ed some sweet-faced pansies and
called them her children. Then
she made cradles for them out
of the large green leaves of the
hollyhock. A great golden mari
gold, with its strong stem stuck
into the soft earth made a fine
low table for them. And the
satiny petals of some great Grim
son peoples made beautiful rugs.
All the while Betty was at
play m the shade OF the tall
sweet pea trellis, she could look
out across the fields toward the
foothills, and she looked long
and carefully at Old Haystack
wondering if she night see Ben

U. S. PLANS OWNERSHIP
POSTMASTER GENERAL Aovo'
Gates POLICY FOR GOVERN.
mENT TO OWN BUILDINGS.

" uSllhStoh'
Hubert Work has just given an ac-
counting to the people for his first
vear MS the head of the governments
biggest and most important single bus-
mess institution-postOffi depart
ment.
A survey for the year shows that the
postal service has been maintained on
a high standard of usefulness to the
people, that it has been conducted et-
ficiently and economically. Postal
service. due to fixed charges not con-
trolled by the department, Is conduct-
ed Mt loss, the cost of operation ex-
ceedInp receipts, but for the last year,
as shown by the annual report JUST
completed, n reduction Of $2O,57l,S9o
in the annual deficit has been OBJ
tanned.
While the increase in the weight and
volume of mails carried and handled
Is represented by an Increase OF $2l,-
3e2, 2,286 in postal receipts, the expen-
ditures were only $7sO,s35 in excess OF
those for the preceding year. and this
was accomplished in business cost
ing s545,G44,2Os for the year.
The postmaster general points out
that, Notwithstanding these accom-
plishments, the deficit is still large and
without revenues increasing In greater
ratio to expense it is difficult to pre-
dict material reduction. The In
crease in posta. receipts for the year
is attributed to the greatly Improved
business conditions, compared with q
year ago.
Postmaster General Work is advo-
eating a policy under which the gov
ernment shall build and own Its own
postoffice buildings where they are
absolutely necessary and thus save
the large amounts paid to lessons COW
ering interest charges on borrowed
money, high rates on investment
charges, Indirect payment OF taxes
and the profits realized by the lessons
The postal service Is growing steadily
and its requirements, according to
Mr.. Work, are difficult to meet with
out constant recourse to enlarged
quarters, which are secured on rem
tai basis ut an expense much greater
than that which would result from
government ownership and construc
ton. The postmaster general Ii
against erecting postoffices ut cross
road towns, but he favors building ir
cities where such buildings will OBJ
tain for economy and efficiency.
The p0stoffice is the point Of con
tact between the public and the serv
ice. The postmaster is the represen
tntive Of the department on the one
hand and the people on the other. Al
the close of the fiscal year there were
799 postOffices of the first class, 2,77s
Of the second class, 1O,S60 Of the thirt
class and 1850 of the fourth class
The number of fourth class offices de
creased by 212, due to the extension Of
rural delivery service which supplies
Il superior service to its patrons
There were 1882 presidential post
master appointments conferred during
the fiscal year ending last June. Oi
this number 933 were ex-service mer
and LOG were women, being large

women who qualified in the civi
service examinations.

today before the Interstate Commerce
Commission in connection with the in
vcstigatlon into transportation rate
,cvcIs. renewed their demand that the
40 per cent increase in freight rates
ordered in 1920 be removed. Most of
Tho witnesses expressed the opinion that
thc present high freight levels constl-
mtcd the chief obstacle to return to
business prosperity.
at is the maladjustment Of prices
and service charges which continues to
force the existing depression" ID. l..
Roncy, Of MiddlctOwn, o.. declared,
spcaking for the American Rolling Mills
Company. "I'rior to 1915 the prices of
commodities and of transportation had
been adjusted TO Il normal on which the
exchange of commodities could take
place. Today we find the relationship
seriously distorted in the level Of rail-
road rates. The price of everything
else has been brought down below war
peaks tO greater or less degree, but
the railrOad charges are held mt the
top. Consequently normal exchange of
commodities. normal resumption Of
business, cannot take place.
VIII Take Chances on Service
Commissioner Lewis asked il the steel
industry would prefer reductions in
rates If the consequences were impair
ment Of transportation service.
"Givc rs chance at the lower rates
and we'll take our chances at the
service" Mr.. Roncy replied. "We've
got the service now. but no business. "

steel producers of tho Mahoning and

that uncertainty rs 10 rate levels would
