one day Nancy and Nick were out
~ in the orchard. It was May and
all the world was beautiful with
million lovely white and pink bios
SONS.
They had played outdoors since
early morning and now it was after
noon, a warm, drowsy sweet-smeH-
ing, dreamy afternoon, Just the sort
of time that fairies get very busy
with folks end things.
How pretty everything isl" said
Nancy suddenly looking up at the
pink and white roof over their heads.
Here and there little patches of blue
sky peeped through and birds of
many kinds were fiuttering about
among the branches.
Oliver Oriole was there. He'd Just
arrived and he was at his nest
weaving with his new little pale
yellow wife sitting by watching him
admiringly. THE Robin Red Breasts
were using the same old house that
they'd had last summer and Belinda
Bluebird was building sherSown nest
in a tree by the fence corner while
her lazy bunch of a husband called
directions to her from the top rail.
Nick had spied something on the
ground and wasn't paying the least
bit of attention to things overhead.
"Nancy| he cried, pulling his sis
ter down. "Just look! It's the Green
Shoes! The Magical Mushroom must
have been here and gone away again.
It's a pity we didn't see him."
Dear old fellow" said Nancy re-
gretfully. Il wish he'd waited. But
hurry Nickie, we must be going to
have an adventure. Let's put on
the Shoes right away"
First thing Pm going to do" an
swered Nick, is to wish myself up
into that funny little house in the
old apple tree that daddy built when
he was boy"
And he had his own shoes off in a
jiffy.

Then | asked him if his own

words, sentences, and complete ideas

A SPLENDID BEGINNING.

THE Americas Golf club is to be
sincerely congratulated upon the
magnificent success of its opening
event last night. Few social affairs
In Americas have taken on the bril-
lance of this occasion, which was
thoroughly delightful and charming.
The club is to be heartily commend
ed, also upon having written strict
prohibition into its charter and serv-
ing notice to all member and guests
that bringing liquor onto the club
grounds, coming onto the property
under the influence of liquor, or
drinking liquor on the premises. will
result in expulsion of members or
the withdrawal of all courtesies in
the case of guests.
1t once was the popular opinion
that no fun could be had without
the stimulation of alcoholic bever-
ages, but that opinion is dying out
with the disproof of affairs like that
of last night. There never was a
more thoroughly delightful occasion
anywhere, and never one in which
the young girls and boys were more
carefully and safely chaperoned and
IN which the whole atmosphere was
more wholesome.
1t is the purpose of the men behind
the new Golf club to make and keep
it absolutely clean, place for whole
some social affairs, but chiefly an
institution that will draw tired and
tagged business men and their wives,
sons and daughters into the open air
and sunshine on frequent occasions
for wholesome life-giving, health
bringing physical exercise. May it
prosper and fulfill its splendid mis-
sion to the greatest possibility.

The Green Shoes were on in a
second and the Twins turned their at
tention to funny little house of
rough boards, Struggled away up in
the top branches of big apple tree.
The little house had been there
ever since they could remember and
had been constant source of curl
osity and chagrin because they were
not allowed to climb up and investi-
gate its mysteries.
mo" Daddy had said over and
over. "As i was the carpenter for
the little board house when | was a
youngster, l know how wobbly it is.
| don't know how the old thing holds
together at all after so many years.
$50 be satisfied with pretending
that it's fairy elevator or witch's
haunt, or whatever you like. kiddies.
That's just as much fun and far less
dangerous. By the time two healthy
youngsters like you would add your
weight to the poor rickety thing, with
all its nails falling out it wouldn't
last two minutes.
And. SO there was nothing left to
do but take Daddy's advice and pre-
tend. They pretended that the old
house in the tree was everything
from the Turks Flying Trunk to
Snow Whites Crystal Casket where
lthe prince found her and took her
for his bride.
But the house had remained a
mystery. There was a doorway with
no door,, and there was small win
dow cut in the side. Yet the little
house remained a secret, for mortal
eyes could not see within.
Don't you see, Nancy" Nick.
THE Mushroom must have heard us
wishing to get up to the little house
and he's asked the Fairy Queen to
give us the Magic Shoes. Let's hurry
and put them on. Daddy won't mind
now, I'm sure"

time but what they said had packed
into little pocket of my memory. /
made feeble outline of it for Nc
Masters.
Individualism, Motherdear and
Mandy had agreed, was the last word
in human development. 1t was the
higher conscience. The true indi-
vidualist had reached the point
where he could think for himself. He
was above the hampering rules of
custom and conduct.
But at the point, great danger
confronted the individualist, Mandy
believed. Two paths stretched before
him. One led him to greater heights,
one led to the edge of an abyss.
If the individualist had freed him
self from ordinary human tempta-
ton, for example, if he scorned
physical ease, he would choose the
upward path-and arrive at truth.
But If he was ruled by his body
and by the primitive instincts of the
race, if he didn't believe in inhibi-
tons for himself-he would go over
the edge of the abyss, he would re-
turn to the condition of the ape from
which man has risen.

made it license reverted to the

A IL Americas will both rejoice

up. He has before him in his new
connection opportunities which come
to but few men in life, and with his

SPENDING TOO MICH

THE War Departments annual re-
port can be boiled down to this
one sentence; "The department
spent $53l ,1S2,981 during the last
fiscal year"
That's too much for war purposes
in peace year.
The economy that is being applied
in the War Department must be in
tensified. Same with all other de-
partments of government.
Congress- goal should be to cut
Uncle Sans spending to less than
$1,000, 100000 a year, not counting
war debt interest.

WONDERS"
By Stanley


BY o. V. Myers, Huntington, ga.
THERE'RE lots of things thatr
funny,
And interesting to you;
Such as why now you're sunny,
4, And tomorrow you're blue.
Sometimes you stop and wonder,
About the shooting stars;
Or just what makes it thunder,
Or what exists on Mars.
OR why some fellows you know,
Live upon Easy Street;
Or why some days twill snow,
And other days twill sleet.
You may have wondered on law;
Questioned theory Of Zones
And wondered what doctor saw
When he X-rayed your bones.
You may have crossed the deep,
And built castles in Spain.
Castles vanish and you weep;
You wonder,-but in vain.
The things you cid enjoy,
You enjoy no more.
You're no longer the boy
You were in days of .yore,
You never have time to play;
You often wonder why
Other folks can be so gay, .
And you can't though you try.
You wonder why you must wait
For your dream to come true;
And you wonder just what Fate
Has locked in store for you.
Thus the wonder folks parade,
From the North to South pole
And these wonders often aid
The true ambitious soul.

THE KEY TO WORLD TROUBLES

IN UPPER Silesia, the average min
er is digging 100 tons of coal
a year, compared with $40 tons be-
fore the war. British miners yearly
output has dropped from 258 to 204
tons. That's an interesting sidelight
on what's wrong with Europe.
In contrast, the American worker
in nearly every Industry is speeding
producing more, since the war
ended.

workman best weapon against for
