THE FIRST FARM TOUR

HOVERNOR BRUMBAUGH and
IT Secretary of Agriculture Patton
have returned TO Harrisburg at
the end of the first of three three days
farm tours of Pennsylvania In a
measure these trips will be similar TO
the Governors Seeing Pennsylvania
tour of last October, except that
agricultural observations and vista
tions will be parts of the program.
Beyond doubt much good resulted
from the weeks journey of last
autumn. Seeing Pennsylvania" has
become popular and the State High
way Department has been co-operat-
ing to make such trips pleasurable.
What has been done in this respect
can be also accomplished in bringing
the State government and the farm
ers into closer touch and city people
to a better understanding of the i'm
portance of the farm to the prosperity
of the country at large. The knowl-
edge gained will be helpful in the con-
duct of the Department of Agricul-
ture and the consideration of a pro-
gram for farm legislation at the
coming session of the law-making
bodies of the State.

FRIDAY EVENING,

in their corporations, their business.
their laws and their wealth. But as a
matter of fact this immense income
is a cause of trouble.
For years it was the custom Of the
State to carry a balance in banks
which was the talk of the nation.
At one time II had $10.000,0O0. at an
other s12,00O.000 and so on. 1t does
not have that balance now. 1t can
hardly meet its current bills. For
months acquisitions for money have
been lying on the desk of the State
Treasurer and that official has had
to scrape around to get cash for pay
rolls at times.
The State adopted a policy of ap-
propriating pretty close to the rev.
enue couple of years ago. The
result has been that when money was
In hand the acquisitions were paid
and when 1t was not in the treasury
hospitals and other objects of appro-
priation went unpaid. If the State is
to continue its present plan the ap-
propriations will have to be made
and paid on a seasonal basis because
its revenue comes in that way.

ON THE DEFENSIVE

A NYONE who heard or read ex-
n tracts of the speeches delivered
yesterday afternoon at the
meeting at which the Democratic State
candidates were formally notified OF
their nominations could not help be-
ing impressed with the fact that the
Democrats were repelling attacks, At
times the addresses partook of out and
out defensive tactics. The references
to the Republican candidate for pres
ident, who appears to be worrying the
immediate friends of President Will
son more than the average person has
suspected. were mainly criticism of
him for making criticism. Charges
made against the State governme ment
and drives at Governor Brumbaugh
were palpable efforts at counter at
tacking.
For years the Democracy was a
party whose sole stock in trade was
denunciation of those in power. Now
when the Democrats have the reins of
government any one who assumes to
diner with the President or his i'm
mediate circle of officials. advisers and

THE CHILD'S FAIRY GARDEN
By Lois Karnrnerlin Booker

DY special request of DR.. Richapd
n Morse Hodge. of Columbia Uni
versity, secretary of the National
Story Tellers League, Miss Lois Kam-
merlin Booker, of this city, has pre-
pared for the Year Book of the Ma
tional Story Tellers League the follow
ing article and list of fairy books.
Miss Booker was the first president of
the Harrisburg Story Telling Club and
had a wide reputation in story telling
and as a writer of charming verse.
In the childs garden of fancy, If 1T
is real Fairy Garden, are Fairies
exquisite wee beings in fluttering wells
and shimmering wings with voices
comingling in sweet mystic music
with the songs of bright little streams,
and the whispers of tall shadowy trees
playing beauty and idealism into the
thought life of childhood.
Unfortunately, the enchanted gar
dens of many children's minds are
places at times, which even a grown
person would fear to enter At the
requests of anxious mothers, who
could not account for the serious
nervous symptoms of what their chill
dren were suffering, medical psycholo-
gists have been admitted into these
Klingsorian Realms through the gate
way of Dreamland Children have
told physicians and astonished moth
eGS dreams OF giants,
wizards and Shiny monsters" and like
creatures of the primitive mind.
The ethical code of many fairy
tales is IAN eve for an eve and q
tooth for a tooth" The higher civili-
cation does not accept that idea of
justice for child. man or woman. IT
does recognize the law of retribution.
To satisfy the childs inherent sense
of fair play, the story should lead
a n ri III nj m
and not mortal vengeance dominates
the lives of the human characters in
the story, while. the good fairies are
supernatural agents of adjustment.
Many fairy books. old and modern,
should be expurgated of entire stories
of unnecessary descriptive details of
witches and wizards snakesome
abodes, and of deeds of ferocity and
crime. For example, the king said
Ito the hundred .suitors of his fair
daughter. "If you do not guess this
riddle, you shall die" suggests a far
less narrowing and bloody picture
than, II will cut your heads off," Fairy
tales abound in threats of decapita-
ton.
Let the fairies play their mischievous
pranks upon mortals who deceive and
betray man, bird or beast. Let them
live as an embodiment of, spiritual
expression. of primitive thought. but
let us cease planting seeds there of
monsters and crimes which were
grown in the mind of man when his
highest moral law was self-preserva- :
tion at the cost of another's life by
sword or cunning.
