could hardly see. Guess what they
saw! It was gold. The witch said,

each bag and the boys filled the
bags and went home. They told
father, mother and Jack about the
witch and Jack said, II am going to
try that tomorrow" So the next
day Jack went to drink and the
witch came to him and Jack got
cross when the witch told him she
would reward him. So she took
him to big tree and knocked on

girl about eight years old. She
lived in Italy. One day her father
came home from work and he said
to Dorothyea's mother. marie. l
think l will take you and Doro-
thyea to America tomorrow, SO
pack your trunk tonight
Dorothyea was tickled. because
she had always wanted to see
America. So the next day they
got on a little boat and sailed until
they came to a big ship. They got
on the ship and 1t sailed away
leaving italy far behind. Doro-
thyea cried a little at the thought
Of having to leave her native cOun-
try. but she soon forgot about it
and got very interested in the ship.
Her mother and herself slept in
the same room. They called it
cabin. Dorothyea slept on the
upper berth and her mother on the
lower.
The second day she got sea sick,
but she stayed in the cabin all day
and she got over it. 1t took two
weeks to come to America, and
Dorothyea enjoyed every day of it.

Grandmother Gray S

THE QUARREL

Jean and Jimmie G. were stand
ing at each side of Grandmother
Gray both as rigid and bristiing
with their wrongs as they could be,
Each was sure that Grandmother
Gray would be on his side. and give
the other as terrible punishment
as possible.
Gracious me, this is a bad fix"

glasses on her nose and frowning
to herself ''Here you've had
quarrel the very first thing, and
thought we would have such fun
this afternoon because was baking
you each 4 gingerbread boy. Dear.
dear, let's see. What can we do?"
And then grandmother Gray did a
very strange thing. She seemed
to forget all about the quarrel, and
change the subject.
Jimmie, will you please get the
yard stick for me?" asked that
funny little grandmother who evil

In a small hut near river lived
father. mother and three children.
The oldest, Jack was very lazy.
His two brothers. who were twins,
were very useful to their father and
mother Their names were Joe and
Jake. These two boys were so
much alike their mother had to
have different kind of shirts on
them; for Joe she had a blue, and
for Jake gray one. Joe and Jake
would bring in the wood when there
was wood to bring in, for they were
poor and some times there was no
wood. The twins We're also very
good wood choppers. One day Joe
and Jake were cutting down a tree
while Jack lay on the ground
asleep, so the twins thought they
would go to the creek to get a
drink while their brother was
asleep.
Finally they came to the creek
and was just going to drink when
they saw something in the water
and looking up Their saw an cid
woman and she said, "What are
you drinking my water for?"

My Dear Lester-Since the art OF
spinning was known to the Egyp-
tons before the year 1900 B. c..
and they with the other ancientS
ascribed the invention to Minerva,
the goddess of Wisdom, | guess
we'll have to take their word for it
even though we don't think much
of that elderly lady.-Ed.

eight figures multiplied by a null
tiple of eight will come out $685.

Dear James-It has been so long
since I've had trigonometry that
I'm afraid I'll have to ask whether
you divide the sine by the cosine
or the tangent by the secant, which
do you?-Ed.

My Dear Grace-Are you surpris-
ed to see your same old question

Dear Aunt Molly-Here is one
question for the query corner and
] hope you will answer it. 1t is
this, why don't the Pladdium have
the sand man story every night
like they used to. Is it because
they put the Junior in every Satur-
day?-Goldie B.
MY Dear Goldie-Because paper
is so scarce they hardly can get it
at all, even the news has had to be
cut down until only the most i'm
portant is used, and in the process
of leaving out, the Sand Man Story
has had to go; especially since the

children in the Junior than any 9TH

try.

Last Sunday there was something
doing and the people were almost
unanimous in their outspoken oppo-
sition to the open movie houses on
Sunday. About 200 signatures were
put on the remonstrance at the morn
ing service. Pastor Caughlan offered
his pulpit in the evening for 80 min
utes to anyone who wished to speak
for opening on Sunday. No one re-
sponded. He then gave his reasons
against to a large audience. Desc
Grafton of the Sabbath, demoralizing
pictures, creating bad habits, self
indulgence, forgetting of God, all
leading to make weaklings rather
than strong characters. In the after
noon men of the church met and
formulated plans of presenting the
matter to the city council next Tues
day evening.

Either the women of Pullman have
no spare time or they do not ap-
preciate the need of Red Cross work.
The Red Cross headquarters have
been open for more than week, but
only a half dozen volunteers have
reported for work. The headquar-
tiers should be the busiest place in
town. There is work enough on
hand to keep as many women as the
rooms will accommodate busy every
afternoon. In this crisis, card par
ties and social gatherings should not
be allowed . interfere with the duty
of preparing hospital supplies for
our boys who may soon need them.
The call of patriotism should be fol.
lowed rather than the lure OF pleas
ure.

The financial saving of the farm
ers OF Am erica would alone be
enough to justify this enactment. On
volume of four billion dollars our
farmers are paying now nearly nine
per cent annually, all of which Ia a
tax on all the people because it lin
its consumption by handicapping the
producer. If this rate should be re.
duced by four per cent it would mean
an actual annual saving of $3.50. 000,-
900. But this estimate of the money
to be saved does not take into con-
sideration the fact that the normal
volume of farm loan business will
greatly increase with an advantage
Gus interest rate.
The success of the Farm Loan
Banking System is now up to the
farm ers themselves. They have been
given the cooperative machinery Ia
finance themselves without profit to
any individuals. They have been
given the machinery for governing
their own financial institutions and
maintaining control of them. So
carefully is their ownership guarded,
no matter who buys stock in the Fed
eral land banks eventually none but
the farmers may have voting power.
Yes, the Federal Farm Loan Act
is somewhat revolutionary. 1t up
sets all past practices in farm finance.
1t puts the interest OF the majority
above the interest of the few. 1t
gives the under dog a chance. 1t

ledger of modern business. Frank

LOOKING AHEAD
Bureau.

1t is a pleasure to look back and
see the progress that has been made
by Pullman in the past 1t will be
profitable to look forward to the
progress we are going to make in the
future. Private enterprise and spe-
cial interests may be trusted to keep
up their progress. 1t is our public
affairs that need careful forethought
We should plan ahead. One council
or school board should not do work
that the next tears down and re-
places. A chicken with its head cut
off displays great amount of energy
but doesn't get anywhere In particu-
lar. Many things should come in the
next five years. They will come
quicker and easier if we go after
them systematically in their turn and
do not work at cross purposes.
The easy grade to the west will be
postponed by making fair grade
from the top of West Main street to
Grand street, at the old opera house
site. Fancy paving may halt. but
there are many streets that will bear
macadam such as they are building
on county roads. Such road with
out curbs or cutters can be built for
one dollar or less per front foot.
Such a road up Spring street to Wiley
Campbelps residence, then westward
past the Franklin school and on down
to Grand street at the j. NJ. Reid
place would give access to the school
and all Methodist hill. Many other
streets should be so macadamized for

Is ample time to weigh and consider
