as she could, and threw herself into the
waiting airboat. 1t started to rise, but
stopped with jerk as the big chap
grabbed 1t. The airbeat tugged and
squirmed as II trying hard to get away
but the trapper, clinging tight to the
tree with one hand, held fast to the
feather with the other.
Peggy didn't know what to do. She
had no weapon with which to fight the
trapper, and she heard other tFappers
climbing to his assistance.
Then she had bright idea. Noticing
how the trapper was trying to keep his
face away from the tickling feather, she
plucked off bit Of soft down and tickled
his nose with it. The trapper tried to
dodge and jerk away, but Peggy kept
on tickling until suddenly "Achoo J"
sneezed the trapper so violently that he
let 70 the airboat and the tree at the
same time, and went plunging to the
ground, carrying the other climbing
trappers with him.
Billy was trying to climb into his air
boat, but the weight OF the dog held
him back. Peggy leaned toward him
and tickled the nose of the dog.
"Achoo!" went the dog. His jaws
jerked open, and down he dropped as
the two airboats scared into the air
and away to the South.
Quickly they caught up with the wild
geese.
THANK you, Princess Peggy. Thank
you, Billy Belgium" honked the geese.

much faster--and faster even than the
scurrying clouds, for presently they
dashed into great foggy mass, and it
grew dark, dark, dark--and the feather
was very soft, soft, soft--and very
warm, warm, warm, and there was
Peggy in her own snug bed at home.

however, we possess the negative traits

The wisdom of belonging to the as

Gated to the interests Of ones busi-
ness seems TO me so obvious as to make
argument unnecessary. However, as
the advantages are not evident to
all. let me enumerate them without any
enthusiasm arousing appeals.
First of all are the legislative advan
tages. An individual merchant is pow
erless so far as boosting or blocking
legislation that affects his business, but
when all merchants get together, what
power they have. Their voice at once
becomes authoritative right to Wash =

! Drug trade associations have pre-
vented legislation that would hurt the
retail druggist. One retail drug as
sociaton became so powerful that the

as the association bade them. 1t got
too powerful, and misused its strength,
SO the inevitable happened. 1t was told
| by the authorities to mend its ways,

Another retail association secretary
told me that had his association been
stronger, it could have prevented Ger
tain luxury taxes that infiict a hard
ship on it. which could have been re-
moved and still insure revenue to the
government.
