had an idea. No doubt the magical
mushroom in her pocket gave it to
her.
Soon she returned with a great big
bottle and a great big package which
she set on the ground.
Now, Goosie, you stand very still
and III fix you good as new" she
cried, unwrapping the paper and
taking the cork out of the bottle.
Goosie looked very curious when
he saw so much cotton. but he soon
found what 1t was for when the twins
stuck 1t all over hin With the thick
glue. He soon looked like an enor-
NOUS snowflake.
He felt delicious too. The glue
was so nice and wet, and the cotton
was warm! 10000! He did feel
good. and said so.
"All right, Goosie. You go take q
nap till the glue dries" advised
Nancy. I'VE have to hurry and hunt
for Jocko now. We haven't found
him yet"
So Goosie waddled to a fence r.
ner and went fast asleep. After
while he woke up. No wonder he'd
been dreaming he was dying and
couldn't get his breath. He could
scarcely move. something was hold
ing him 81 tight. When he looked
down all he could see was a lot of
beggar burs sticking all over him.
Under that, how did he know he
glue had got as hard as glass!
Help! Help!" he called, rushing
for the pond.
The twins heard him, luckily, ana

plucked for a second time that day.

"GOOD OLD DAYS" RECALLED
century.old Ledger Unearthed In
Marietta, o., Makes Some Rather
interesting Reading.

Marietta, O., in 1897 paid S409.04
for the maintenance Of the govern.
ment. according to ledger just
brought to light from it's hiding place
of many years.
December %, 1897, was the date OF
the first entry in the book. Six years
later Ohio became state.
The county at that time was three
times as large as it is today. The tax
duplicate showed a total of S1,310. In
the territory allotted to Washington
county in 1907 were the towns OF
Marietta, Gallipolis, Middleton, Adams,
Waterford, Salem and Bellepree now
Belpre.
Six collectors were appointed, with
headquarters in Marietta, and these
men made their rounds in the "wild
land" at the risk of their lives for a
wage of $3.50. Indians surrounded the
county, and in some instances the vii
lagos, so the tax collector was often
lucky to return "body whole"
In 1893, according to the ledger, the
district was divided into nine sections,
instead of six, and nine collectors
were chosen. Names of the men are
given and their places of residence
The commission chose a board OF
three members and named chairman
in that year.
Meetings we're held at the home OF
Joseph c. Lincoln, Revolutionary
war hero, and member of the original
Ohio company which settled in Mari
eta, the first town in Northwest ter
ritcry.
Judges received Is cents day
whenever they worked on the bench
the ledger records show. There were
quarterly sessions and judge fol
each session. Six cents a mile was
paid a Judge for each mile Travelled
The foreman Of the grand jury re
ceived 60 cents day and the jurymer
so cents and 8 cents a mile for trave
to and from court.
Disbursements for advertising II
Atlantic coast and New England tow
papers are mentioned in the ledger
showing advertising was necessity II
that day.

add to or detract from the glory Of
the English people. His efforts "
flatter them by slandering the army
and the navy of the United States will
meet with the contempt of every true
Englishman as it does of every true
American.
Sims says he was admonished at
the Navy Department not to let the
English pull the wool over his eyes.
1T is none of our business pulling
their chestnuts out Of the fire. We
would Just as soon fight Great Brit
ami as Germany. Daniels emphati-
cally declares he did not tell him this.
If no one told him, then Simss state
ment is deliberately false. If a su-
perior officer did so admonish him,
then Sims is violating confidential in
structions and deserves the condem-
nation of every American and dis
honorable discharge from the navy.
while Pershing was fighting for
an Independent army cooperating
with our Allies, Sims was urging that
all our naval activities be directed
by the British Admiralty. Admiral
Wilson in France, maintained our

bel eve he is telling the truth when
he says that he did not tell the truth
in that letter. He says now he made
those untrue statements because he
believed the Department wanted him
to do so and he wished to support his
superior officer. Further, that he did
mot want valuable information to
reach the enemy Does anyone be-
lieve this? Isn't it more likely true
that he knew the Department would
produce this letter and by it prove
all his charges untrue and he there
fore anticipated its production, even
though it necessitated his making the
humilating confession that what he
called was untrue?"

won the displeasure of Sims, who
seems to be insanely jealous of him.
Admiral Strauss went to England,
and while l do not know how true it
is, abroad it was stated that Sims d s.
approved of him. Benson, Mayo, and
the General Board were, in the opin-
ion of Sims, all wrong. They were
all out of step but Sims.
After charging that the depart
ment failed to properly support him,
Sine produced a letter written in
December, 1917, in which he declar-
ed that the Department had always
supported him. He now asks us to

equally false. Records of Sims's office
show that we escorted S2.75 per cent.
of the American troops.

only one-third of the merchant YES

,'Having impressed upon us how
small a part we played upon the sea
in time of war he proceeded to tell us
that in time of peace we should play
no part at all. He declared that
Great Britain, because of her geo.
graphical position, must control the
sea and that we could depend upon
her transporting our goods to for
eign markets and therefore we did
not need a merchant marine. He de-
clared we should develop the Great
West instead of developing mer-
chant marine.

The Test OF the Proaressives.

The leadership Of the Republican party
is incompetent and reactionary. me
latest demonstration Of this fact was the
nomination of Warren G.. Harding for the
Presidency. !,
The greater part of the rank and hie OF
the Republican party is intelligent pa
triotic and progressive. This. was demon
strated in 1912, when Theodore Roosevelt,
as the candidate of the progressive eis-
ment, carried eight States, receiving 90
electoral votes and William H. TAFT as
the candidate Of the reactionaries, carried
two States, receiving eight electoral votes
The same reactionary leadership that
nominated Taft in 1912 nominated
Harding in 1920.
The progressive clement OF the Hepnp-
lican party has had no more viruient anu
abusive foe than Warren G. Harding, ana
the reactionary, like the leopard, cannon
change his spots.
The progressive element returned 10
the party under the plain implication 'ha'
the party would adopt more progressive
attitude in national affairs.
Instead of doing so, the reaftiohafy
leadership of the party now denies az
honorable completion of the American
victory achieved in the World war; II
which Republicans and Democrats fough'
side by side with. no thought OF partisan
ship. -
Again the reactionaries have put th'
progressives to the test OF sincerity !.

n tb;s case involve the honor of th'
