The Journey of the Tin Woodman

TlP was we'll soaked and dripping
water from every angle of his
body; but he managed to lean
forward and shout in the ear of the
Saw-Horse:
Keep still. you fool. Keep STILL"
Cling and fioated calmly upon the
surface, its wooden body being as
buoyant as raft.
What does that word fool
mean" inquired the horse.
1T is term of reproach," an
swered Tip, somewhat ashamed of
the expression. Il only use it when
L am angry"
Then it pleases me to be able to
call you fool, in return" said the
horse. For l did not make the
only a term of reproach is fit for
one who becomes angry with me for
falling into the water"
That is quite evident" replied
Tip; so L will acknowledge myself
in the wrong" Then he called out
to the Pumpkinhead, ARE you all
right, Jack?"
There was no reply. So the boy
called to the King: ARE you all
rlght, your majesty
The Scarecrow groaned.
I'm all wrong. somehow" he
said, in a weak voice. How very
wet this water is?'
Tip was bound so tightly by the
cord that he could not turn his head
to look at his companion; so he said
TO the Saw-Horse:
Paddle with your legs toward the
shore"
The horse obeyed, and although
their progress was slow they finally
reached the opposite river bank at
place where it was low enough to
enable the creature to scramble up
on dry land.

pocket and cut the cords that bound
the riders to one another and to the
wooden horse. He heard the Scare
crow fall to the ground with
mushy sound, and then he himself
quickly dismounted and looked at
his friend Jack.
The wooden body. in its gorgeous
clothing, still sat upright on the
horses back; but the pumpkin head
was gone, and only the sharpened
stick that served for a neck was
visible. AS for the Scarecrow, the

into his legs and the power part
of his body-which appeared very
plump and round while his upper
half seemed like an empty sack.
Upon his head the Scarecrow still
wore the heavy crown, which had
been sewed on to prevent his losing
it; but the head was now so damp
and limp that the weight of the gold
and jewels sagged forward and
crushed the painted face into a mass
of wrinkles that made him look ex-
actly like a Japanese pug dog.
Tip would have laughed-had he
not been so anxious about his man
Jack. But the Scarecrow, however
damaged, was all there, while the
head that was so necessary
to Jacks existence was missing; so
the boy seized a long pole that
fortunately lay near at hand and
turned again toward the
river.
Far out upon the waters he sighted
the golden hue of the pumpkin,
which gently bobbed up and down
with the motion of the waves At
that moment it was quite out of
Tips reach, but after a time it float

boy was able to reach it with his
pole and draw it to the shore. Then

DETOURS WILL
BE PROVIDED
Sadler Says State Will Look
After the By
ways

Highway Commissioner Sadler
yesterday told road delegates that in
the future detours for the conven-
lence of passersby on highways on
which construction is being done,
will be provided by the State High
way Department instead of by the
contractors, as has heretofore been
the case.
The Commissioner said that be-
cause of the great amount of con-
struction which is being undertaken
by the State this year and for the
three following years, the question
OIL detours is an important one.
Construction will be in much greater
length than has ever occurred in
pennsylvania before, and the De-
partment plans to make the detours
as short as possible and over the best
possible substitute routes.
The Cambria County people saw
the Commissioner relative to con-
struction plans for Cambria County
under the States primary road sys-
tenn and by the State in conjunction
with the County Commissioners.
Commissioner Sadler agreed that
construction on the Ebensburg-
Spangler road will be carried through
to the County line near Cherry Tree.
He said that in all probability en-
gineering crews will be in Cambria
County within the next two weeks
prepared to make the necessary sur
veys.
A. M. Custer informed the High
way Commissioner that if it is not
possible for the County and the State
to get together in the purchase of
the Cramer pike, leading north from
Johnstown, he will guarantee to
raisesthe money with which to pur-
chase this pike among Johnstown,
he will guarantee to raise the money
with which to purchase this pike
among Johnstown citizens with in
the next month.
Delegations from North Annville
Township, Lebanon County and
Coleraine township, Lancaster
County, were here today.

CARLISLE HEARS
SENATOR GORE
Distinguished Blind Orator
From Oklahoma Addresses
Chamber of Commerce

Carlisle. Pa, March S.-Calling
in his opinion, exist in the present
draft of plan for the League of
Nations and pointing out the ad-
vantages which the United States
now enjoys after the war, Thomas
P. Gore, United States Senator from
Oklahoma, made a stirring address
yesterday at a luncheon meeting of
the Carlisle Chamber of Commerce,
the largest ever held by the organ
ization. In all 175 men from all
parts of Central Pennsylvania were
present.
The opening of his address was
devoted to a discussion of the eco
nomic advantages in the United
States at the present time. The end
of the war means only "readjust-
ment" here he stated, not recon
struction." Senator Gore pointed to
our supply of raw materials, ma
tional wealth and position as a cred
itor nation. The demand for prod
ucts of the farm will be a big fac
tor in prosperity, he stated. In ref
" lilC Dlil lOI
wheat, he pointed out that it was a
bill to be paid for violation of the
law of supply and demand, repre-
senting a billion which did not go to
the farmers during the war but
which comes to them now.
The readjustment of wages and
prices should come in proper ra-
ton. the speaker declared, any re-
ductions to be on the same scale
for both. Then there are the prob
lens of rehabilitation and of the
national debt. Expenditures by Con-
gress in eighteen months of war
were nearly $4,000, 100000.
Senator Gore then turned to the
League of Nations. He stated that
he did not follow the President in
regard to the league nor was he a
violent critic, but. declared that ac-
tion should be taken Dnly after
careful thought.

fully.
Then don't worry" retorted the
boy. Care once killed a cat"
Then" said Jack seriously, II
am very glad indeed that l am not
a cat"
The sun was fast drying their
clothing, and Tip stirred up his
Majesty's straw so that the warm
rays might absorb the moisture and
make it as crisp and dry as ever
When this had been accomplished
he stuffed the Scarecrow into SYM
metrical shape and smoothed out
his face so that he wore his usual
gay and charming expression.
Thank you very much" said the
monarch, brightly, as he walked
about and found himself to be we'll
balanced, There are several distinct
advantages in being a Scarecrow.
For if one has friends near at hand
to repair damages, nothing very SER
ious can happen to you"
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-03-08

See here" he growled, cant you
protect me from insult?"
ITO be sure!" answered Tip, sooth-
inSly. Il am sure Jack meant no
harm. And it will not do for us to
quarrel, you know; we must all re-
main good friends"
IN have nothing more to do with
that pkinhead," declared the
Saw-Horse, viciously; "he loses his
head too easily to suit me-"
There seemed no fitting reply to
this speech, so for a time they rode
along in silence.
After u while the Scarecrow re-
marked:
This reminds me of old times.
1t was upon this grassy knoll that l
once saved Dorothy from the Sting
ing Bees of the Wicked Witch of
the West"
DO Singing Bees injure pump
kins?" asked Jack, glancing around
fearfully.

had travelled little way farther.

Tip stopped the horse and they all
proceeded to dismount.
I'm tired out" said the boy,
yawning wearily; 'and the grass is
soft and cool. Let us lie down here
and sleep until morning"
"T can't Sleep" said Jack:
"I never do" said the Scarecrow.
II do not even know what sleep
is" said the Saw-Horse.
Still, we must have consideration
for this poor boy, who is made of
flesh and blood and bone, and gets
tired" suggested the Scarecrow, in
his usual thoughtful manner. -

head is" said the Saw-Horse scorn-
fully.
" ou might be a, coward your
self, if you knew you were liable to
spoil!" retorted Jack. angrily.
"There!-there" interrupted the
Scarecrow; don't let us quarrel.
We all have our weaknesses, dear
friends; so we must strive to be con-
siderate of one another. And since
this poor boy is hungry and has
nothing whatever to eat. let us re-
main quiet and allow him to sleep.
for it is said that in sleep a mortal
may forget even hunger"
Thank you" exclaimed Tip.
gratefully. Your Majesty is fully
as good as you are wise-and that
is saying a good DEAL"
He then stretched himself upon
the grass and, using the stuffed form
of the Scarecrow for a pillow, was
presently fast asleep.

ARE BIBLE STUDENTS
CONNECTED WITH
GERMAN PLANS?

(From Syracuse, New York, Post
Standard.)
To the Editor of the Post-Standard:
This country for many years has
been flooded with so-called prophecies
which apparently were based on Bible
quotations, but in reality they origi-
mated in Germany among those arch
conspirators, including the kaiser
Bernstorff, Won Hindenburg, Luden.
dorff, Harden and the rest of the in
famous gang that they might spread
poison and dissension in other coun-
tries so that if their long planned
war of frightfulness and crime, in
Guiding rape, murder by wholesale,
arson and all the rest of their pro-
gram did not succeed they would
have confusion, anarchy and chaos in
other countries and in this confusion
obtain control, through their agen-
cies, Of Russia, America, England and
France, and eventually the whole
world.
The kaiser proclaimed to the world
to be the chosen Of God, the kaiser
proclaimed to be the partner of God,
the German people to be the chosen
people of God, and the German peo-
pie to be superior people of the world
leading in culture, art and refinement
Now look at some of their prophe-
cies, published as early as 1906, in
this country, through underground
means in the guise of International
Bible Students, Seventh Day Adven-
fists and probably many others and
compare these with their above men
toned stand and their well-knowT
plans.
They prophesiad through these
sources that in the fall of 1914 ant
1915 a great worlds confagration and
war would take place that would
spread to all parts of the world, but
would rage principally in the So
called civilized countries of the world
They prophesied the beginning Of
the millennium age in 1914 and 1915
From out of the ages was to appear
