unlike the people at the seashore.
They didn't rest but they always kept
hurrying and scurrying along.
After a bit the brownie led them
into q great building and into dark,
terrible thing the brownie called an
elevator. Up they whizzed to a dlz-
zy height and then they stopped with
a horrible jolt.
The brownie beckoned to them to
follow him and he led them into lit

ting at a desk. There were many
papers before him and he was looking
through them.
"Hello, Brownie" he said.
Hello" answered the brownie.

They wanted adventures. I've shown

The waves were trying to say that
they didn't want to work In this horri-
BILE city, they wanted to go back to the
sea, but they couldn't say word.
Finally one Of the waves reached
into his sea-shell suit case and pulled
out his sea-weed night shirt. He tried
to say he wanted to go back and he
waved his night shirt, thinking they
would understand as they looked at
the sea-weed that surely creature
who wore such queer things wouldn't
do for the earth, or the dry land.
But the brownie only grinned at the
little man.
"Ah," he said, "this wave wants a
good nights rest and then he's ready
to start in."
The poor wave could bear It no
longer. He fell down at the brownies

LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE AT

The Iowa Farm Bureau Federation
has legislative committee at work at
Des Moines looking after the legis-
lative matters which pertain entirely
to the interests Of farmers as a whole
Farm Bureau members over the State
who have matters Of importance
should take these up with the legis-
lative committee through the Fedora.
ton headquarters. Matters which do
not pertain direct to farmers as a
class will not be considered by this
committee, as the policy of the Fedora
ton is to keep out of questions OF
partisan or Of nature which per-
tain to the people OF the State as a
whole upon which there is divived
opinion.
The legislative committee has pre-
pared its report on the two hundred
fifty-three bills, which are considered
in the Code revision, and the farmers
interests have been looked after in
this matter.

of addressing countrywide and mis-

nine countrywide meetings were held
by the officers and speakers at which
there was an attendance Of at least
ten thousand people These have been
held in various parts Of the state,
and enthusiastic reports are being re-

In addition to countrywide meetings
over eighty township and community

In addition to the meetings mention
ed above. various conferences were
held by Federation officers. an impor-
tant one of them being with the In

that a better understanding might
exist regarding farmers making in

conference was the Midwest meet
