The Po6tman Leaves a Catalogue

There was film Of ice on the goldfish pond,
and the collie marveled that he could not drink
the strange, indurate water. The cherry tree
had taken vows Of celibacy, and was white
with vestments of frost All the penitent SPAR
rows were cold-so cold. They sat in the hol-
ly and fluffed themselves. They sat beneath
the red berries of the holly and shivered at the
chilliness. From every chimney the smoke
went spirelike into the sky, and the sky itself
was gray coldness. Deep in the dark earth
all roots were tranced, and each seed slept with
its dream.
And that was the morning on which the post
man chose to bring the first seed catalogue of
the season. So the lid changed and the post
man went on down the street, never suspect
ing that he was Pan, little thinking himself
to be the herald of April.
Now. the cherry tree shall repent its VOWS
and put them aside. The sparrow shall ruffle
It again, and be gladly quarrelsome as OF old
where water lilies slumber, and the golden
prisoners themselves shall forget their i'm

when he desires, and as he drinks he shall
see light clouds and happy sky mirrored

very presently, now that the first seed cata'

Three illion.Shar Days
(Now York TimQSl


For more than quarter OF a century 2
''three-mon-share day" on the New York
Stock Exchange has additionally measured
the highest flight of speculative activity.
Special attention has been directed to the un-
precedented series of such daily achievements
in the present stock market. The three-mil-
lion mark had been exceeded nine times be-
tween the beginning of the year and this week,
although in no previous year did more than
three days enjoy the distinction.
The first "three-million-share day" came at
the climax of the famous speculative outburst
of April, 1901; it was more than fifteen years
before another was witnessed in the excited
December stock market of 1916, and it was
nearly nine years before it happened again, in
November, 1925. Since then three-million-
share trading has been more frequent, though
still unusual But the accumulated capital
available either for investment or speculation
has increased immensely during the past twen-
ty-seven years, and the number Of Incorporated
enterprises whose shares are dealt in on the
Stock Exchange has gone up quite rapidly.
In 1901 the separate stocks "listed" on the
New York Exchange numbered 376 and in 1915
there were $40, whereas in 1925 they had risen
to 927 and in 1927 to 1909. Even the trans
actions on a day of ordinary routine in 1928
would naturally far exceed the sales and pur-
chases Of 1901, and the capacity for transac.
tions on a day of great excitement might be
supposed to have enlarged correspondingly.
But the bulk Of the business in the three
million-share market of 1901 was done in q
relatively small group of stocks, and precisely
the same thing has been true in the similar
markets of this month. During the week Of
1901, which included the 3,270, OO0-share trad
ing Of April 30, nearly half of the total sales
occurred in six stocks. Last week. which was
marked by a series of such days, one Of them
reaching 3,947, 900 shares, seven stocks monor-
olized one-fourth of the total business

Not long ago we knew little boy who was
confident the world would come to an end on
O. about 1850.
He reasoned something like thiss
When mankind has reached perfection, the
eorth's work will be finished and the whole af-
fair might as well end. We have outgrown the
savagery Of our forefathers; liberty, freedom
and 20 on have been established; all the big
gest problems are just about solved. A few
more years, and we will have heaven on earth.
Therefore, the earth's days are numbered.
As he grew older the boy revised his esti-
mate The World War came and showed him
that there were still few little things to be
done before perfection would be at hand.
Gradually he realized that the millennium was
q long way off. But even now, in the back OF
his mind, is the idea that it will be reached,
sooner or later. He still is confident that some
day all Of our problems will be ironed out
smoothly, although he no longer believes that
he win live to see it.
It is rather astonishing, in way, that VIC
should look for golden age in years to come.
ever see more than very minor Improvement
made. We will not be here to enjoy the Utopia
for which we are working, nor will our chill
dren's children. Why, then, do we upset our
selves so about It!
Il seems to be born In us, part of an heritage
we cannot slough off. Most of US are not very
admirable. We have gross selfishness, timid-
ity, self-satisfaction and frivolity woven into
our beings. But underlying them all is this
strange, compelling yearning to leave the world
better place than we found it; this desire to
do what little we can to advance the golden
: age
That is the one reason why we can be hope
. full Our progress may be glacial, but it is
. genuine. We have right to dream our dreams
of day when war will be abolished, when pow
, erty and crime have been forgotten, when
slums do not exist, when true freedom reigns
everywhere and ignorance is no more. Some
day they will come true.

Congressman were recently told that the
farmers receive $4,000, 100000 annually for
products that cost the consumers $50, 900, 0O0.-
700. The conclusion is drawn that farmers
should organize their own marketing system.
Consumers do not object to the creation of y
marketing organization controlled by farmers.
ON the contrary, the consumer believes that if
producers were organized to market farm pro-
ducts, the price at the farm would 60 up and
the price to the consumer would 90 down. If
go, 900 000, 900 is the price paid to middlemen
for the work Of distributing products from the
farm to the ultimate consumer, it is time the
producer became marketer.
But the task Of organizing the farmers Of
the United States is confronted by staggering
obstacles. Much time must be consumed in
solving this problem, if indeed it can be solved
1T all. Farmers now living will be gathered to
their fathers before the ideal system of direct
marketing could be evolved. There is nothing,
however, to prevent any farmer from imme-
diately changing his methods, if he cares to
20.
4 Where the single-crop method of farming
Has proved financial failure, farmers might
return to the old method Of producing their
avn food and growing larger variety Of crops
- they can be more Independent of vicissitudes
of grain, cotton and cattle markets. Farming
seems to prove most profitable when the mid
he course between the single crop and the
o&her extreme is followed. A return to old
fashioned diversified farming is the only farm
relief needed in some agricultural sections.
