FAITHFUL AND EFFICIENT

William r. Day wore himself out
in public service. His work was ef-
fective, Loyalty and thoroughly done
and of a scope accorded to few public
servants, a country lawyer, judge Of
court of common pleas, assistant
Secretary of State then Secretary, a
U. s. Circuit judge, later an Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court, serv-
ing for nineteen years, giving that up
to assume a task, for which his
health was not adequate, as umpire
of the War Claims Commission.
OF him a Democratic colleague,
Senator Gray Of the Paris Commits
sion, said this, which should be re-
peated here:
mo State in this Union could have
contributed to that function, or any
other great diplomatic function of
statecraft, mind and a character
more equipoised, settled, clear and
strong than was contributed by Ohio
when she sent that quiet, sensible,
strong statesman, William r. Day, to
Paris to conclude the treaty of peace.
Always self contained, never self
exploitative, always self-suppressed.
yet firm and courageous in the per-
Torrance of duty as he saw it, he
has illustrated the very highest traits
of American craftsmanship and Am
erican character in the work that we
brought home with us from the other
side of the ocean.
With such public servants upheld
by the people there would be little to
fear for the future of this country.

DAVID CORY

ways up to the giant bunny's ears,
you must remember:
Here Il am, behind tree.
But I'm so small, you can't see me-.
whats that? exclaimed the giant
bunny, taking out his spectacles and
placing them on his nose. Goodness
me! Those spectacles were as big as
the glass windows Of a candy store!
But as soon as those tremendous
strong glasses were on the giant bum
ny's nose, he could see anything, even
the little ant-hole in the ground.
"Ah, there you are! he laughed
and reaching down he picked UP Lit
tie Jack Rabbit but he didn't squeeze
him hard. Oh my no! He wasn't
you know.
whats your name, little bunny?
he asked, sitting down on a big fall
en- tree. Then he began to whistle
and all the little birds in the forest
came flying up and perched on the
trees and pretty soon they began to
sing the same tune the giant bunny
was whstling. Well, you should
have heard it. Our little bunny boy
never heard such sweet music be-
LUZ 1lu WuCL IlC tIiCu " AOiiOW IhC
tune, 1t made the Giant bunny laugh
so hard that he couldn't whistle, so
all the little birds stopped.
Some people call me Giant Whis-
tle", he said and took out Of his pock-
ct photograph of his little boy. But
goodness me! 1t may have been the
picture of a giant bunny boy but to
Little Jack Rabbit it looked like big
man bunny.
Hes my baby, said the giant
bunny. with a laugh and then he be-
gan to sing:
Rock bye baby, your father is big.
He's as tall as tree and as wide as
a house.
But you're not afraid Of your daddy, I
know,
He wouldn't harm even a poor little
mouse!
The next story will be all about our
little bunny boy and Jack O'lantern.

WILL HAVE TO BE SHOWN

Such wonderful events are of so
frequent occurrence it isn't best,
while being appreciative, to waste
energy in wonderment. Otherwise
we might indulge over the report that
a government official who ordered his
assistant to use up the yearly allow
ance and permit no cent of it to lapse,
has been removed from his position.
1t shouldn't be inferred that the
aforesaid government official is an all
around rascal because he did this. He
may have had sad experience hereto
fore. Such experience has been pos
sible and is very convincing that if
by some chance a government official
one year turns back part of his al
lowance the sage committee on ap-
portionment will see that the next
years allowance be reduced by that
much. regardless Of what needs may
be.
On the other hand the only way to
retrench is to retrench, so this rar-
ticular official is called upon to be an
awful example. There will need to be
more of them and the wide vision
which includes pro bono publico will
not hesitate between sobs to applaud.
And II some Of the bureaucratic mar
tinets be shaken clear Of their swivel
chairs, there will be no wailing in
this far corner of our glorious coun-
try.
A while ago 1t was revealed that
the army had on hand surplus OF
brooms but the navy would have
none of them, insisting on ordering
their own in huge lots. though none
of them could detect the difference In
equality. Then five barrels of soar
were Iced to an employees home
and one office ordered new towels
when it had 200 soiled ones on hand
General Lord, the head Of the
Budget bureau, is not from Missouri
but from Maine. nevertheless it is the
gladstone conviction in these parts
that he will have to be shown.

THE CROP ESTIMATE

Estimating crops isn't exposed to
all the hazards which confront count
ing chickens before they hatch, new
ertheless considerable can happen be-
fore the harvest may be completed.
Usually, however, the government
estimates are well supported. That
respecting this seasons crops is graf
flying. except possibly to those who
have raised a bumper crop only to
find that 1t doesn't always bring to
the farmers pockets bumper reve-
nues.
The estimate now made public at
Washington sets the crop of 1923 only
three per cent. lower than the big
crops Of 1922. while on the basis Of
prices prevailing the first day Of this
month the crop revenue would be a
billion dollars larger than that of
last year.
Twelve crops exclusive Of tobacco
and rice amounted in value to S.
76S,20s,0o0 in 1922 and these same
kinds of crops this year, on the basis
OF July 1 prices, are estimated to
yield a value Of s7,S29,912, 800. These
crops include wheat, corn, oats, hay,
potatoes and cotton. But what the
Talue will be when the surplus comes
into contact with the large crops re-
ported in some of the foreign coun-
tries is matter of conjecture. There
is. however, pretty good assurance
that those in this country who have
the purchase price need not be hum
cry.
Aside from the crops in the lists Of
estimates it appears there is an enor-
nous yield of tobacco, although users
thereof need waste no decisions re-
specting lower prices in consequence,
although such a possibility exists
The report announces that prices for
this years crop have not yet been
fixed.
Unless weather interfere, the corn
crop will be one of the largest,
though not a record breaker. And
here's hoping the weather doesn't in
terfere. 1t will be Of some satisfac-
ton to find that we have plenty of
food in this country even if we do run
short of fuel.
