Airy and Fishhook Nose

Once upon a time there dwelt in
the Land of Happiness, a little
fairy whose name was Airy. She
was SO named, because, like air
she was invisible, but one was al
ways aware of her presence. She
was usually very good little fairy,
but sometimes she was like little
children are - very disobedient.
Now just outside of the Land OF
Happiness was great woods,
which looked so beautiful and cool
and nice to Airy. But Airy's queen
had warned her not to go near it,
because it was there that Fishhook
Nose, a very wicked witch lived
But the temptation was strong,
and beside Airy argued with her
self that it really would not hurt
just to go there for a minute or
two.
The woods were so charming,
that at last she could not resist
it any longer, and so stepped over
the border that separated her land
from the forest. The air was so
delightful and everything so balmy,
that she stretched out under one of
the big trees and fancied how nice
it must be to live there always.
But the place had such an effect
upon her that she was soon fast
asleep. Her peaceful slumber did
not last long, however, for she
was awakened by loud shrill cries.
At her side she beheld a short,
stout, and ugly old woman, and
knew her to be the dreaded old
witch. Airy was very much fright
ened, and started to fly away, but
she felt herself quickly drawn back
to the ground
"Ah" cried the old witch, as she
her dried up old hands to-
gether you'll not escape me.
Too long have / eagerly waited
for this chance No longer shall
you serve a lovely fairy queen, but
instead you will be witch's slave.
See, you are no longer fairy even,
but a mortal"
In establishment Airy surveyed |
herself, and indeed she was no
onger fairy. The witch broke
into a laugh that sounded very
coarse to Airy,
Eyes, ye're all changed" she
said, "but there is yet another
ask to be done. You'll not need
vour pretty clothes anymore, so
ust hop into these nice rags"
Airy knew better than to resist,
10 she slipped out of the beautiful,
lainty fairy clothes into the dirty.
nusty rags. She was then driven
O the old witch's tumble-down hut
For a whole year Airy shaved for
Tishhook Nose, scarcely ever get
ing enough to eat and always re-
:eiving daily beating. She soon

ID an escape So one morning be-
ore the sun was up, she slipped

any doubt OF the guilt of the con-

AGRICULTURE'S TRUE PURPOSE

AS the years go by hafdly week
passes but is noted the death OF an
old-time farmer. To the writer it
seems that the life work of these
sturdy characters typifies the true
purpose and dignity of agriculture,
Such men were not concerned with
hectic speculation or vast money
making out Of farming. They worked
to bring homes out Of wilderness, to
produce food for many and to make
their farms provide them with the ne
cessities Of life Here was their liy-
ing-what else did they need?
SO, when all things pass, when dis
aster comes as it may come through
greed and material industrialism, will
the human race go back to Mother
Earth for means to subsist. They
will find the Earth ready again to
nourish and care for those Of her Chill
dren who honor and respect her.

PEOPLE ASK TOO MUCH
OF STATE, SAYS WILCOX

MARSHFIELD, Wis.-Roy P. VIII
cox spoke here before big gathering
Tuesday night, stressing the fact that
free speech and free press should not
be throttled. The constitution, he
said, guarantees to every man, woman
and child the right to exercise their
religious beliefs in accordance with
the dictates Of their conscience.
People complain about the taxes
and the great hardships forced upon
them by reason thereof" said Mr.. Will
cox There is a reason, We are de-
handing too much at state expense.
All of which comes out of us as tax
payers. The number Of state en-
ployes has been increased by leaps
and bounds"
Referring to Senator La Toilette,
Mr.. Wilcox charged La Toilette was
aligned with the Socialists and Nom
partisians in his eagerness to win out,
that an understanding existed between
him and Victor Berger, and that, At
Mr.. La Toilette lost at the primaries,
he would run as en- Independent.
Mr.. Wilcox was applauded repeat

and industry.
In 1916 Mr.. and Mrs. Harasha
moved to Lancaster after building a
modern home in the third ward. Here

ing in the garden because he loved

ton: making two blades of grass
grow where one grew before"

DISCOURAGING CRIME
(OttIlmWa COurIer. !

Arthur Brisbane's stuff is silly as
rule. and sometimes it is disgusting.
Nearly always it contains an under
current of disrespect for law, which
crops out in various ways from line
% line and paragraph to paragraph.
In one Of his recent essays, Bris-
bane CON ments on a wife murderer's
.noice of shooting, rather than hang
ing, when given an opportunity to
pick the method by which he would
pay with his life for the life he had
taken.
Shooting would be the natural
choice, the essayist says, and he
added: "The brutal thing is that kill
ing is still officially done"
You're wrong, Arthur The brutal
thing is that killing is still unofficial
~ done. official killing Of unofficial
killers is one Of the means employed
bv government and society to dis
suade other potential murderers from
killing and thus to protect human
life. Experience has demonstrated
that capital punishment, while 1t pos
sesses no esthetic beauty, has a con-
siderable effect as a crime deterrent.

The Criminals Debt to Society.

1t is we'll to remember that peni-
tentiaries were penal institutions be-
fore they were considered as refor-
matories; the original purpose OF
combining a man in Jail was to punish
aim and deter others, not to reform
him. That still should be the princi-
pal purpose of every prison sentence.
Every human being has certain rights
but among them is no right to regain
his liberty after commission OF a
crime, because of promise of intended
reformation The crime constituted
definite blow at the structure OF
organized society. 1t contributed its
part, big or little, to upset those
standards Of conduct which are a
necessity to the safety of all OF us.
The criminal who reforms still owes
it to his fellow man that he repair
the damage, that he pay a penalty
sufficiently adequate to deter others
from commission of like crimes. He
owes a debt to the past no less than
A promise to the future.

many things he pioneered are now

La Toilette is a constructive radi-

MADISON, Wis.-Changes in the

whether they be rich or poor.
Urges Secret BOiiOt.
my proposal is, first, that delegates
to county conventions be chosen by
secret ballot, all parties voting at the
same time and place, but keeping the
party alignments distinctly separate.
Second, that at these county con-
yentions there be chosen by secret
ballot, the delegates to the state con-
yentions, the county committees and
the candidates for county offices.
Third, before the delegates to the
state conventions are called to order,
they shall meet by congressional dis
tricts to select, by secret ballot, the
party candidate for the house of rep
resentatives and the district members
of the state central committee.
Fourth, that the state conventions
then meet and choose by secret ballot
the candidates for the state offices and
for the United States senate. After
this party platforms are to be adopted

Mr. Mathie declared that the pri-
mary law has almost destroyed the
Democratic party in Wisconsin and
thus has prevented the best possible
state government which always comes
when the two parties are fairly even
in strength
He also pointed out that if Wiscon-
sin ever wants to elect a president, it
will have to build up both parties, as
presidential candidates are chosen
from the doubtful states.
