he very careful not TO play pranks on any
one for some time.
But | am forgetting TO thank you
for all YOU have done for me and here
YOU are all wet but you shall be dry and
comfortable" and as he spoke the fairy
touched Nanette with her wand.
From her fell the wet and ragged clothes
and IN their place were dry ones and
such beautiful silk dress rs Nanette had
never even dreamed OF.
''Oh, | cannot go home dressed like
this said Nanctte, my stepmother
and sister will be very angry when they
see this beautiful dress"
Have no fear my dear" replied the
fairy, IL shall go with YOU for our Queen
will want me To reward you well for
the help you have given in finding her
precious pearl, come let us go back to
your home"
Nanette noticed now that it was day
| light and time for her TO he getting
| breakfast for her stepmother and
Corinne and though the fairy was with
/ her she did not feel at all sure she would
not be punished for not having break
| fast ready.
The fairy disappeared when they
reached the door OF Nanette's home but
though she seemed to only touch things
the fire burned quickly in the stove ano
the breakfast was on the table by hel
only thinking about it.
Her stepmother and Corinne though
we're cross and they found fault with
everything you ought to be well shaker
for being so late you lazy girl, the step
mother said reaching towards Nanett,
as she shrank towards the wall Of tn,
room.
But the stepmother did not touch he
for at that moment the door flew opel
as If strong wind was blowing ant
whisked the cross woman out OF th
room and over the trees while Nanett'
and Corinne stood looking after he
with frightened eyes.
"Oh you bad cruel girl, cred Corinn
; running towards Nanette, you are u
blame for what has happened to M,
Mother your hair should be pulled from
your wicked head"
But she did not carry out her crue
threat for she too was blown out of tn,
door by the heavy wind and off she
went over the tree tops as her mother
! had done.

absenteeism is costing the govern

they attend strictly to their duties.
The bill also provides that in case

The wet daily press, and most of
our big dailies are wet. never tire
telling how Prohibition is losing
ground in very State, but never have
anything but mere assertion with
which to back up their statements.
The dry, however, always have facts
with which to confront and repute
the vets. A case in point is the pri-
mary election result in Virginia last
week, when the candidate running
on Prohibition Enforcement plat
form, won by 10000 majority over
the avowed wet candidate, who also
was opposed to Woman Suffrage.

DEMOCRATS GETTING ON THEIR
WAR PAINT.

Chairman George White has de-
cided to call the Democratic Ma
tional Committee together some
time this summer for general dis
cussion of Democratic policy toward
the Harding Administration.
The time Of the meeting has not
been fixed but probably will be i'm
mediately after the Republicans
have passed a new tax bill and the
country has had chance to learn
definitely what has been done by the
Republican party on tax revision.
Thus far the Democrats have
maintained policy of passive re-
sistance to Republican doctrines, be-
lieving that the country wanted to
give the new Administration fair
chance to make good without Demo-
cratic obstruction. When the tax
and tariff bills are passed, however,
the Democrats, who already take
exception to the Republican pro-
posals, will endeavor to convince the
country that those policies are
wrong and can be corrected only by
the election of Democratic Con-
gress a year hence. President TAFT
lost Congress Immediately after the
passage of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law and the Democrats are hoping
that, history will repeat itself. They
are basing their hopes, moreover, not
so much ON the tariff but on taxes
The Democratic line of attack al
ready is apparent. The Democrats
say Secretary Melons proposals
mean merely that people whose in
comes are below $4,000 a year will
be taxed higher than before, while
those with incomes above 100000
will have their taxes reduced. OF
course, Secretary Melons sugges-
lions have not yet been adopted and
the Republicans in Congress may
yet deprive the Democrats of much
of their ammunition.

FARMERS ASKED TO CON.
TRIBUTE GRAIN.

Farmers of this county can ascer-
tain from their county agent the col
lection points to which to take the
grain for donation to the Near East
Relief during the present appeal for
corn and wheat which ends August
Is, inclusive. A. s. Snarr, Elkton,
is County Agent for Cecil.
Oranges and county declarations
are given wonderful opportunity in
this appeal to the farmers to per-
form real humanitarian work,
says Harold F. Pellegrin, Maryland
Director, Near East Relief, land we
are counting heavily upon their CO.
operation. We are depending upon
them mainly for the work of organ
ization and the carrying out of the
details for the appeal in the various
counties and we feel sure this help
is being cheerfully and heartily
given"
The farmers are asked to give
$4,000 bushels of both their surplus
corn and wheat that an urgent and
critical food crisis in the Caucasus
and the Levant, threatening many
thousands of adults and little ones,
may be alleviated. The first dona-
ton reported to Maryland Head
quarters, is 25 bushels of wheat

alton.

RURAL CREDIT MEASURE.
Aid To Farmers-WOuld Reduce
Interest Rates And Aid
Banking System.


: Chairman L. T. McFadden, of the
House Banking and Currency Com
mittee, has reintroduced his rural
credit and multiple insurance bill
The enacting clause provides that
the purposes of the bill is ''to
standardize paper for agricultural
production, to establish discount
markets for such paper" and for
other purposes.
The bill creates two corporations
by separate chapters, rural credit
society and the multiple insurance
league. The rural credit society
will have central bank with $685.
100000 capital furnished by the
government, but a sinking fund is
created to discharge the govern
ment loan, principal and interest.
Each State will have one branch
with $4,000 capital each, the cap
ital for the branches to be furnished
by the big life insurance company
which accepts the Federal multiple
insurance charter There will be
any number Of community associa-
tions, which are denominated COM
munes, the capital of which will be
subscribed by farmer members.
The principles of this bill have
been endorsed by the American
Agricultural, Editors Association,
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton and many of the economists of
our agricultural colleges. The bill
is free from paternalism and affords
the machinery by which the farmer
may, finance his productive activ-
tiles free from government inter-
ference and coddling. This will
teach the farmer the valuable les
son of self-reliance and self-help.
