a lasting one.
The national council had a salts.
commission which was appointed by
President Coolidge TO make recon-
mendations with respect to the en-.
tire agricultural problem. While
the commission Is still in its early
stages Of work. there i- no doubt
that 1t took TO heart the advice of
the co-operatives. namely, that
what is needed is no more specific
legislation but a much more SYM
pathetic administration by govern
ment agencies of existing laws.
The oo.operatives said frankly
they didn't want TO he subject to
further regulation. that they were
getting along very well now and
that the government could best help
them by letting them work out their
w problems

Spoken From the Soul

Nick was the grizzle-headed factO-
tum of an assembly room in a certain
southern town. This story, which has
to do with him, possesses one merit If
it possesses none other-it has the
merit of being true.
According to local gossip Nick was
a sorely henpecked man. It was said
that when displeased with him Aunt
Effie, mis- mastodonic wife, had way
of tying his hands behind him and
then correcting him with bed Stat.
Sometimes she corrected him so thor
oughly that he limped for week af
terward and sat down only on cush-
Toned chairs. If there were no cush-
toned chairs handy he preferred to
stand.
Yet Nick bore the secret of his do
nestle tragedy bravely. He never
swore out warrant for Effie; never
publicly complained of the roughness
of her disciplinary methods
But, as the saying goes, the worm
will turn, although why it should turn,
seeing that worm is the same on
both sides, no one knows. Nick didn't
exactly turn, but one time he did bare
his inner convictions without exactly
going into details.
Some ladies were decorating the as
sembly rooms for wedding reception
which was to follow the ceremony at
the brides home and Nick was helping
them.
$50 they's fxin' to have mother
marriage, is they?" said Nick, half to
himself as he unraveled an armfuI of
southern smilax well, seems lax
folks will keep on gettin' married.
He fetched a soft, pensive sigh under
his breath.
One Of the ladies overheard him.
She knew something of the life Nick
was said to lead in the privacy of his
home. Mischief led her to speak.
"Why, Uncle Nick she said, "you
surely haven't any grudge against mar
riage. have your
sOh. none, not fur other folks said
Nick. But, Miss May, speakin fur

NeD York Telephones
Kept Reasonably Busy

The statement that New York city
has more telephones than the whole Of
Great Britain conveys a vivid picture
of the number Of instruments there
must be in the city. Many people, es-
pecially foreigners unused to the tele-
phone as daily necessity, may have
wondered to what extent such huge
number of telephones, more than a
million, are used, says Telephone
Service.
A recent statement by III. A. Trax,
chief accountant of the New York
Telephone company, throws some light
on the question. During the year 1923
an average of more than 1850 toll
or long-distance calls every day kept
New Workers in close touch with the
rest of the country, while at the pres
ent time the total number of calls,
local and long distance, in the city
averages 100000 every day. In other
words, every telephone in New YOrh
city is used on an average about FIVE
times every day.

Shirley, who made it a great favorite
and almost a proverb for prettiness
and simplicity, SO that the wits Of
George IFS time called John, Lord
Hervey Lord Fanny" for his effemi-
macy. Fanny is often given at bap-
tism instead of the full name, Frances,
and by an odd caprice, it has lately
been adopted in both France and Ger
many instead of their national con-
fractions.
One poet, doubtless seeking to cele-
brate the beauty of the lovely Lady
Shirley, wrote "Song to Fanny"
which has lyrical charm:
Nature thy fair and smiling face
Has now a double power to bless;
For tbs the glass in which I trace
My absent Fanny's loneliness.
Her heavenly eyes above me shine,
The rose reflects her modest blush,
She breathes in every eglantine
She sings in every warbling thrush
That her dear form alone l see,
Need not excite surprise in any;
For Fanny's all the world to me,
And all the world to me is Fanny
Fanny'S jewel Is. the W0ndrOusly
lovely fire-opal. The restless cofors
of the ordinary opal are far surpassed
by the fire-opal whose mysterious
depths are shot with flame The stone
is perhaps the only one which super
stition regards as unlucky except in
cases of persons born in October. Leg
end has it that a pixie clad in bril-
liant colors has been imprisoned in the
stone; he moves restlessly about seek
ing egress, but only human tears can
melt the gem and give him freedom,
so he contrives all manner of mischief
for the wearer, to bring about that
end. Fannie's lucky day is Friday and

If he ever had mother he did not

Tom slept anywhere he happened to

FANNY
By MILDRED
MARSHALL.

EANNY, which was originally con-
= sidered diminutive of Frances,
has become sufficiently an individual
sentity to be regarded as separate
name entirely. It's origin is in reality
very complicated as it is one of a
dozen dissimilar names that come
from the Frey of Teutonic mythology.
Freya was the goddess Of love, but
she likewise drives over the battle
fields in her car drawn by cats and
chooses half the slain whom she es-
corts to their seats at the banquet of
Valhalla.

While he was washing his face some
one opened the door, and instead of a

said, Hello, puss, where did you come
from?'
Tom was quite surprised at the nice
sound he made as he rubbed against
the nice voiced person. He had never
done much purring, and he was pleased
with the sound
The kitchen door was open, and as
Tom looked in he saw a mouse, and
forgetting brooms and stones he ran
in and caught it.
