THE KIND OF A LEAGUE HE MEANT.
An enthusiastic New Yorker has decided that New
York is the place for the seat of the League of Nations.
He is, of course, entirely disinterested in this, as his rea
sons show.
First, this location for the League would be remote
from the quarrels and intrigues of Europe.
Second, Central Park, which is now "wasted," being
only a breathing spot in the center of a crowded city,
could be utilized as a building site for the League of Na
tions "plant."
Third, it would make New York a "mecca for tour
it" Of pmirsn the millions who uour through New
York's stations and nleasure places now are' all dyed-in
the-wool New Yorkers, madly seeking some reason for
continuing to live there.
Fourth, since the United States would probably cede
the territory to tne ixague, proniDiuon wuuiu never en

For instance, a mail steamer bound to England from

mail would thus be delivered in London within four davs.

moving vessels, mere is no apparent reason why impor
tant mail should not be sent to an outbound ship a day
or two out or port in tne same way, and then forwarded
to its destination in another day.' This would still fur
ther reduce the time between mailing and delivery.
Passengers, too, might be able to shorten the period
cf this voyage if they wished by flying to shore a day
ahead of the steamer's scheduled arrival. Tomorrow's
folk who were fearful of making the whole crossing by
air might be willing to accustom themselves gradually
to that means of travel by making such use of the seaplane.
TODAY AND TOMORROW
RIPPLING RHYMES

PUNISHMENT
Sad and lonely Wilhelm's sitting in a gloom that's
right and fitting; and the bats are round him flitting,
rs he broods, and broods alone; every moment's to him
bringing recollections fierce and stinging, of the days
when he was kinging on a richly cushioned throne. When
he wakes and when he'd slumber, bitter thoughts his mind
encumber; once he was the warmest number, with a crown
upon his brow; once he walked in pomp and splendor,
biggest sample of his gender, and his smiles were legal
tender, but he is a has-been now. None to honor or re
vere him, none to jolly him or fear him, and the stolid
Dutchmen near him wish he'd shoo himself away; this
the end to all his scheming, this the finish to his dreaming,
and his soul's within him screaming, sobbing, when he
hits the hny. Would his pain be half ps bitter if we took
this erring critter to a tree where robins twitter, there
to swing him from a limb? Would the woe be any greater
of this universal traitor, of this loathsome straferhater,
if we tarred and feathered him ? Sad anly lonely he is sit
ting with the bats around him flitting, and his princely
teeth he's gritting when the Holland sun goes down; he
lias long bleak years before him, and a million thoughts
to bore him, thoughts of stalwart hands that tore him
from his sceptre and his crown!
The usual early spring reports of danger to the fruit
crop, ana its possible total loss, are now in circulation.
This time the "cooties" are going to do the work, but as
a matter of fact these pests are well under control now!
especially in the prune orchards. War is being waged
against them by the cherry growers who find their trees
quite badly infested in some districts. Notwithstanding
the operations of the new pest and all reports to the con
trary the fruit outlook is decidedly good, and will no
doubt continue so, barring unfavorable weather conditions
later in the season. It is only a customary and expected
thing to report a total loss of the fruit crop early every
spring.

First the peace conference tried transacting busi
ness in committee of the whole. Then its powers were con
centrated in a committee of ten, and much better progress
was made. Lately the committee has- been reduced to
four. And from present indications, that is still too many.
Many people in the central European nations are now
afflicted with the sobbing sickness according to recent
reports. No sympathy at all ! Their "sob" stuff made us
all sick long ago.
