The Land of Dreams

When | jump into my bed,
A happy child am |,
For to Dreamland | do go,
To come back by and by.
The streets are paved with sun
beams,
The sky of rainbows made;
The birds all fly about me
In many fairy glade.
The beautiful queen of Fairies sits
Clothed in a gown of moonlight,
Weaving, as only the fairies weave,
Cloth like the stars at midnight.
Then | wander farther still
Into the land Of dawn;
And then | hear my nursie cry,
Come, chickie, it is dawn"
Annie HOLSTER Fish, aged -,
in the Brooklyn Eagle Junior.

We going to dinner with grandmother today
Over snowy hills and far away
In a touring with footing horn.
We will spend Thanksgiving on grandmother's farm.
Father said do have the good times and 10Y
That he used to have when he boy.
He would hitch the horses to the old red sleigh.
The bells would jingle miles away
How glad grandmother will be,
To see father, mother. Joe and
She is just good she be-
She has always been good to
We footed the horn as we turned by the gate
The dog met us-what noise he did make!
Grandmother opened the door and looked out,
We all waved hands with joyful shout.
She kissed father and me and brother Joe
Oh, how much love grandmother you do not know
She said she was glad we were all there
AS she wiped away falling tear.
Grandmother looks so changed today,
Her hair is turning a silver gray,
She is always glad, her grandchildren to see,
How she stood at the table and made cookies for me!
How filled my pockets till they fell on the floor
With the holes Of the doughnuts asked MORE
The taffy and big balls she would make,
She would do anything for her grandchildrens sake.
We sat down at the table, missing,
Grandfather returned the Thanksgiving blessing
There turkey and dressing and oyster stew.
All kinds Of sweets and pickles too.
Pumpkin pies yellow gold,
A dish of doughnuts filled full of the holes,
Ounce honey and jelly and all kinds of jam,
My plate was filled full and were my hands
Grandmother had stored these things away
For to eat Thanksgiving Day.
She forgets Joe and me,
She is just good she be-
After dinner play all the farm,
We gather the eggs from the old red barn,
We gather walnuts, persimmons and hickory too,
We filled up our pockets full as all children do
AS started home she kissed goodbye. -
The streaming tears she wiped from her eyes, ~rt1

FAILURE FOR 4 NEW
 CLOTURE PROVISION
 SENATE PREDICTION
Generally Conceded Time Is Too Short to Change the Rules Before Treaty
 Comes Up Monday
By Associated Press

Washington, F'epruary e,-Faiiure gen orally was predicted by Senate leaders today for the effort to write a new clo- ture provision into the Senate rules to curb dehate on the peace treaty when it is renew wed next week.
 Although the rules committee will meet tomorrow to take up the subject it gen. orally was conceded that the time was too short to make any change in the rules before the treaty is called up Mon day.
 Senators who have opposed any limita-
 ton on debate were prepared, it was
 said. to fight cloutre proposal at such
 length that no roll call would be reached
 on 1t before that time.
 Under the present plan of the leaders to dispense with the old cloture restrc- tions now clinging to the treaty, the de- velopment was regarded as insuring that when the treaty comes up unlimited de-
 bate will be in order. It is hoped on both sides, however. to hasten considera- | tion as much as possible and to come I to final ratification roll call promptly Some senators think 1t can be reached within ten days.
 Negotiations for agreement on some of | the reservations to be considered contin- ued during the day, and in some quarters | it was predicted that the points of dis agreement quickly would be sifted down to a few propositions, once the treaty comes into the open Senate 1 From other sources fit WIS predicted hewever, that the ferdhfican leaders would insist on their original reservation; 1 without the notifications agreed on by | the unofficial bipartisan committee, and that long controversy would ensue.

 But the portion of Martens testimony that stirred committee members most, as evidenced by their questioning, was his assertion, made incidentally, that in 1918 fthe agents" of the committee on public information, the wartime American gov- ernment publicity agency,and "other of ficials of the United States worked with soviet officials to bring about revolu- ton in Germany. and at the same tine got out documents in this country de- signed to prove that soviet officials were paid agents of Germany.
 NAMES "OFF1CTAL"
 Questioned as to the nature of these documents, Martens said they were known as the "Sisson papers" This testimony led Chairman Moses to suggest that George Creel, when chairman of the com- mitte on public information, apparently was working with the soviets on one hand and against them with the others, to which the witness agreed. Asked re- carding the ''officials" mentioned, Mar tens named Raymond Robins, formerly of the Red Cross mission to Russia, as one through whom soviets co-operated in their propaganda against Germany.
 The soviet Russian government has frequently offered to agree with other countries of the world in mutual plan to leave each others internal affairs" alone, Martens told the committee, add ing that his government could be ddpend- ed upon to keep it's promises in this mat ter @because It's economic interests ray that way" and Iscnine and others only advocated the general revolution during the period when other nations were ac- lively attacking the soviets
 The witness refused again to answer questions concerning his methods of com municating with Moscow through couriers many of whom he said at his papearance last week have been kiffed or imprisoned Correcting his previous testimony. he said some of the couriers engaged iA the traffic are American citi- zens.
