that one feature of the Ohio situation

Vention.

BOYS INTERRUPT GAY SPORT

Dear Aunt Laurie:
This summer five girls and myself,
with a ehaperon, went to the noun
tains. One day we were out for a ram
Bile when we discovered brook filled
with fishes OF course we decided to
go fishing the next day
We prepared lunch and started
forth in gay spirits, armed with fishing
rods and cans which he had put our
worms in. We hunted along the brook
till we found a nice shady nook. Here
the branches of the trees hung over
till their green leaves dipped into the
water There were so many moss
covered rocks which we used for seats.
We then brought forth our fishing
rods and cans. Gertrude Morgan was
the first to catch fish, as she was the
only one who was not afraid to bait
the hook. But at last every one had
gathered enough courage to put the
worm on the hook.
We fished all morning. Gertrude
caught the most fish, while Helen An
derson caught only two. She was so
afraid of the bait.
Edna and Ethel Bell, the twins fixed
lunch on the ground, while Bonnie and
L cooked the fish. Oh, it was more fun
cooking. Some were burned and some
were not.
After dinner we pulled our stock
ings and shoes off and went in wading.
After we had just got in and were
having a lot of fun, Paul Jeffs and
Frank Woods, two boys who camped
near us, came up. Ethel was in such
a hurry to get out that she slipped and
fell back into the water, while the rest
of us sat trying to hide our feet. The
boys went away laughing, so we all
Jumped back into the water and
finished having a good afternoon of
wading and fishing.

dred. One girl had to kneel in front of
a boy, who was speaking a piece.
One girl sang a song while boy
stroked her hair. There were many
more but these were the funniest.
Another game was "Clap In, Clap
Out" 1 like that, too. AS we went in
to supper the first thing we saw was
large pumpkin hanging from the cell
ing. From it hung witches, cats,
brooms and tiny pumpkins
On the table was the largest and mic
est cake possible. In it was button,
nickel and thimble. The person who
found the button received tiny box in
which was a present, the thimble a
larger box and the nickel pretty
present. And altogether we had fine
time ELSA WlNkLER.

BLACK WITCHES GRACE TABLE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Last Halloween my mother and a
friend of hers had party. They in
yited a few of our friends.
The children came at 1880 and there
was a big ghost to welcome them. 1t
was dressed in sheets. At first the chill
dren were afraid of it, but when they
saw that it was not alive they laughed
to think that they had ever been afraid
of it.
Then we went into a large room
where there were jack o. lanterns
hanging up on the walls. We played
lots of games. Then we went into an
other room where it was all decorated
There were lots of strings twisted up
on the pictures and around the chairs.
We each took hold of the end of a
string and followed it, winding it up as
we went along. All the strings ended
in great big pumpkin head. There
was small package on the end of each
string. There was a little souvenir in
all the packages. I have mine yet
Then we sat down to a table to eat
There were nuts of all kinds and cake
There was little pumpkin head place
card at each plate.
There were black cats and lots of
witches cut out of black paper on the
table.
At 1920 we went home.

1 have never written to you before
but thought 1 would like to join the
Junior. Last Halloween spent on the
train. We were on our way to sunny
California from Erie, Pa.
At places where the train stopped
boys and girls came through the train
with jack o. lanterns. The next morn
ing | looked out of the window and
saw wagons on top of houses and
chicken coops turned over. But I did
nothing but look out at the work of
other boys. LOUIS SALOW.

WAVES CHASTITY LANTERN

Dear Aunt Laurie:
We lived on a ranch south of Los
Angeles one Halloween. Although it
was three years ago remember it as
well as yesterday.
l got my jack-o lantern and started
toward my friends house, Myrl Kill
Iefer. I guess they knew / had one,
for when 1 put 1t at the window they
looked as If they knew 1t was coming.
1 went home and was sitting by the
fire when I saw a flash of light at
the edge of the curtain. Mamma raised
the curtain and there stood two white
figures waving a JACKIE Lantern on
the end of a pole. The jack-o' lantern
was made of a citron, and it looked
as green and CHASTITY as could be.
l soon recognized Myrl and his
mother.
Lets go and scare Miss Eckleen
tour teacher)," said Myrl.
Mamma opened the window and 1
jumped out
Mrs. Killefer gave-me her sheet and
pillow case to put on.
Mamma and Mrs. Killefer followed.
We had to go through a lot of plowed
ground. Myrl and 1 got to giggling,
and 1 thought we never would get
over.
There is a hedge in front of Miss
Eckleen's house. We knocked and
Myrl waved his jackie -lantern. Then
we ran, stepping on our sheets at
every step, and gave the jack-o-
lantern to mamma, and she kept way
ing il over the hedge.
Then we went back again, three
of us-Myri. myself and my white bull
dog. We got Miss Eckleen and brought
her out to the road,
She caught us and took off our
masks and found out who we were.
That was how / spent happy Hal
loween. Your niece.

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Last Halloween the girls of our class
decided to have a surprise party on
a friend.
It was decided to have the party at
my house, so that evening L told her
to come over and we would take our
lanterns out and brighten people, so
she said she would.
AS soon as she got in the house the
girls all cried Surprise" She was
certainly surprised. We then were
given a sheet and pillow case. We
went out doors and raped on doors
and had a fine time. Then we came
back into the house and played pro-

DRESS AS WITCHES AND GHOSTS
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Last year 1 was invited to a Hal
loween party, given by one of my
friends. We all dressed as witches,
ghosts and hobgoblins. When 1
reached the place all the others were
waiting.
The girls went to one room and the
boys to another. A ghost came and
took our wraps. Each girl had to
pull a paper pumpkin, which was
hanging on a string On these pump
kins were the names of their partners,
which they had to find in a darkened
room, with the aid of tiny candle.
One of the games we played was
''Mixtrix." I read it in one Of the mag
azines and so we wanted it, too. A
line was stretched across the room on
which weer hung swastikas. On each
was written something to do. I had to
stand on one foot and count till hun

DIVE INTO TUB FOR APPLES

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1 will not tell what did last Hal
loween, although ] had quite a lot
of fun, but about Halloween quite
a few years ago.
There were eight or nine of us chill
dren. (Ady brothers chum, my two
chums, a little girl from next door
and my two brothers and sister and
myself.) We got G. tub and filled it
full of water, then we put apples in it.
MY, what a good time we had div
ing after apples. Just as soon as
you'd think you had an apple some
one would touch your head and the
apple would slip away. Well when
we got through diving for apples my
hair was as wet as it could be.
thought / surely would have a bad cold
but I dried it good and 1 didn't have
a cold at all.
Next we tied an apple on string
and tried to catch it with our teeth.
l could not get any that way. But
some of the rest of them did. Then
we ate popcorn and popcorn balls.
In the meantime mamma had made
some taffy, so she called US and said
it was ready to pull We all got
some and started to pull it. We had
the best time of all with our taffy.
AS soon as it got little hard we
would slip around and hit someone
else's taffy and either yours or the
other persons would break and you
had to catch it quick. OF course you
had to run the risk of someone else
getting yours, but it certainly was
fun. 1t was a wonder we were not
all sick from eating so much.

house and took one of the boys hats
and put slips of paper with the girls
names on them. Then they let the
boys each draw q slip. The girl whose
name was on the slip was the one they
had to march in with.
None of the boys had slip with
my name on it, and so 1 marched with
the slip with my teachers name on it.
We all went in the dining room and
sat around the big table. We had
cake, candy, cookies and ice cream.
About o'clock the children's parents
came for them.
There were a few children left whose
parents had not come for them yet, and
/ was among them. We sat in the
dining room, and one of the girls
would find something in the room and
would tell the others the first letter
of 1t. The others would guess, and the
one guessing right was "it'' next.
We had not played this long when
my father came after me. l bade my
teacher good by and went home tired,
but hungry.

The question of freight rates is agi- tating the business men of the country. At a meeting held here recently 1t was | charged that the railroad magnates of | England and Ireland were working against the interests of Irish merchants and manufacturers. It was said that | one Irishman who had received an or der for food from a man In anoth CT part of Ireland had to send them over to England (from which they were | reshipped) to Ireland in order to get low freight rates.
 The result of the discrimination in freight rate charges against Irish pro- ducers was, the speaker said, that Eng fish manufacturers were getting Irish trade that would otherwise go to men doing business in this country
 One speaker urged that the imperial government take steps to secure for the people the ownership and manage
 ment of the steam roads of Ireland,
 naming $200. 100000 as their value.
 The present system he said gave Eng lish manufacturers the advantage of
 unrestricted trade in Ireland, while 1t
 subjected the people of this country
 to the restrictions of what Is consid-
 cred a practically very high tariff. To
 make this thing plainer, English man.
 ufacturers have free play in Ireland
 while Irish manufacturers are ham,
 pered in their business relations with
 England by excessive railroad rates.
 The subject will in all proba bility
 be brought up at the coming national
 industrial conference, to be held in
 Cork, October 4 and 5.

When Knowledge Meets Theory

From Everybody's Magazine. A story that has done service in polit- ical campaigns to illustrate supposed di- lepamas of the opposition will likely be revived in the approaching political "heated term.'
 Away back, when herds of buffalo grazed along the foothills of the western mountains, two hardy prospectors fell in with bull bison that seemed to have been separated from his kind and run amuck. One of the prospectors took to the branches of tree and the other dived into a cave. The buffalo believed at the entrance of the cavern and then turned toward the tree. Out came the man from the cave, and the buffalo took after him again. The man made another dive for the hole. After this had been repeated several times, the man in the tree called to his comrade, who was trembling at the mouth of the cavern:
 .stay in the cave. you idiot!'
 .sYou don't know nothing about this hole" bawled the other. There's bear in it!''
