STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF BILLY BUMPUS
ON THE FARM
By Farmer Smith

Billy had been drafted
How sweet It is sometimes TO enjoy the
praise OF the crowd, but when Billy was
ready 10 make his speech on the memoir
able day when there was a grand parade In
his honor, he received a note stating that
he had been drafted for duty on the farm.
You have served the army faithfully and
and you must go on the farm and serve
your country there for a time and await
orders "
II was a shock 10 even Billy for he
thought that he had done enough, but
now he was expected to 20 out on the
farm and work hard
He was so overcome that he did not
have chance 10 make a speech but that
was only another surprise for those who
lived in Goatville, for THEY expected any
thing Of Billy Bumpus
Jonathan Goat, who stood beside Billy
Bumpus, leaned over his shoulder and read
the note When they had both finished
Jonathan shook hands with Billy and said,
softly, TOO bad;''
Billy handed the note to Mrs Bumpus
and she read II and began to cry. BE
careful" whispered Billy. you will spill
some tears on my new coat"
Boo -hoo-hoo""
II seems as though the tears would never
cease. Mrs. Bumpus was more affected
than she had been when Billy went to tbs
army.
farm" sobbed his wife.
81 can take care Of the rake when II
is teething and raise pigs by their tails"
said Billy, little thinking how ii sounded
Jonathan laughed
The note which Billy had handed to his
vile blew out OF her hand and ioated
down TO the crowd below.
Obediah Goat grabbed II and OF course,
read IL.
Al that moment a farm wagon came
through the streets OF Goatville ana what
did Billy do but skip out the back way,
through the crowd on the grandstand and
start after that wagon,
This is better than saying good-oy' he
was thinking when he happened TO look
back and there was the whole crowd COM
ing after him.
and then started TO whip his horse
There was nothing for Billy to do but
70 turn back and face the crowd. II did
not take him long TO tell them that he was
going on a farm 10 serve his country and
then before his wife had chance to catch
him he was off after the wagon ana soon
was trotting along the hot dusty road as
II nothing had happened -,, -..
Goodness me :" Billy exclaimed every
now and then. Il am going 20 war once
more What do you think OF that?'
Toward evening the wagon stopped az
, large farmhouse aQd Billy scooted on
IN the direction Of the barn.
before he reached it he almost ran over
Mrs Hen, who had nine little ducks toddlins
along after her , ~, L.,
"Oh, you here?" exclaimed @ MIS-. Heh.
"Do YOU know me7" asked Billy, so sur
rrissd that his breath was almost taken
"I know that you are a goat, but dc
at LnoU YOUR name But what are you
doing here?" Mrs. Hen took one OF the
ducklings under her wing

Four Offensives Against Liquor
Give Promise of Victory
for Prohibition
WASHINGTON, June II.

"AofhltNpl lNNt june IL
The United states is going on the water
wagon. Whether II will stay there longer
than the period Of the war depends on how
the nation likes the experiment. But a care
ful canvass Of the entire membership Of
both houses today demonstrated positively
that the dry" element was in control. Their
slogan OF mo foodstuffs for intoxicants" Is
winning converts every day.
There are now four distinct dry" plans
before Congress. Each Of them has the sup
port OF committee Of some organized group
Of members. There are numerous other iso-
lated prohibition programs, backed by an In
dividual member or two, who probably will
merge with one Of the main groups when
the prohibition fight begins In earnest. The
four big plans are

at such an exorbitant rate as TO make it's
further manufacture Improbable.
Second. The Senate Agricultural Com
