When the fairy heard that, she
said:
Are you indeed the son of Lady
Love the pretty lady bunny? she IN
auired. Then, calling a yellow butter
f1y, she commanded him to show the
bunny boy to her palace.
81 would take you in my carriage,
but there's only room for your DIG
toe!" she laughed whipping up her
beetle horses.
On reaching her palace, the little
bunny boy found her resting on
couch of real forest velvet covered
with an orange colored shawl. He
was almost afraid to move for fear OF
humping tire chandelier for he fcIt
like giant within her tiny palace.
Pretty soon a slvery voice was
heard outside and little fairy came
gliding down a staircase of Woodbine.
Come with me to the waterfall.
she said turning to Little Jack Rab-
bit. I'VE will gather some checker
berries for the Fairy Queen So. with
q low bow to the Queen, he followed
the fairy until they came to the wal
erfau. He watched her cross tie
bridge which a big black spider had
stretched over to the other bank but
he didn't cross over that way. Oh.
my nc! If ne had, Gear he would
have broken the spiders bridge IN
two. He just Jumped across the brook
and helped the little fairy pick the
red berries tor the Fairy Queen. from
which she made wonderful jam.
When he had gathered almost a
quart, Re picked up the little fairy
and Jumped back, fer by this time the
big black spider had closed the en-
trance of the bridge with hundred
tiny ropes, no one being allowed 10
use the bridge after sun down. You
see, the big black spider was the
bridge keeper for the Fairy Queen.
On reaching the palace, the queen
said to him:

ic checkerberry wine to make you as
tiny as fairy" And in me mex.

after that.

Editors Letter Box
Concerning the Work at Pemaquid

Concerning the Work at PemaquId
The newspapers of Maine have
been very kind in speaking in com
plimentary terms of our work at
Pemaquid. There has been general
interest in these discoveries and not
only on SEPTEMBER 18th, the time OF
the Historical Society meeting, but
every day previously many came to
view excavations.
Space will not permit lengthy dis
cuSsion. but | am a firm believer in
fair play and justice and | am sure
that the people of Maine want to see
the right thing done. Those who I'M
covered the pavements. cellars. etc,
and made a general study of Pema
quid, worked for nearly month and
many days labored overtime. We
started out with an appropriation of
$3.50 raised by popular subscription.
That was sufficient for the work as
originally planned because the four
so-called experts" representing geol-
ogy, Colonial architecture, archaeol-
ogy and ceramics, gave their services
either free or on half pay. Ten or
twelve days before the 18th, we were
notified to uncover more pavement
and foundations to prepare on Eek
hibition," etc. all of which was to
arouse interest in Pemaquid. We were
told to push things" / need not en-
ter into details save to state that l
was urged repeatedly. etc. We re-
doubled our efforts. More men were
employed. AS a natural result, addi-
tional expense was incurred. 1t was
carefully explained that all of this
would cost more than our appro-
priation, but we were assured to go
ahead" I'VE will stand back of YOU"
etc. To make a long story short, the
men behind the guns" faithfully stood
to their tasks, the work was carried
to completion and bills amounting to
1856 We're paid. leaving no debts on
our part at pemaQuid. OF the $3.50
promised, $40 was paid in. All this
money has been vouchered for.
Since everyone seems pleased with
the showing made at Pemaquid it
would be no more than just that
those of us who have advanced this
money, in addition to giving our SER
vices. should be reimbursed. AS eX-
planned, we did not contemplate ad-
ditional work or preparation for a
field day. This was planned by 9TH
ers. This open letter is written in no
spirit of criticism. but merely in
fairness to the men and myself. I
shall be very glad indeed if readers
as we'll as members of the Society,
will aid me in reimhursins those who
have advanced the 1855. Checks may
be sent to me.

A STATE HIGHWAY THAT'S
NEEDED

Nearly ten years ago, back in
informed, the State Highway Com
mission, after due consideration Of
all the conditions pro and con, laid
out a system of highways which
included one connecting the coast
with the State Capital by way Of
B elfa st, Searsmont, Montville,
Liberty. Palermo, China, Vassalboro
to Augusta.
The need Of this was then rccog-
nized, as was the dcsirabIlity of fol-
lowing in the rain what was the "a
stage route between Augusta and
Belfast and bringing facilities for
transportation to the country lying
in between, which seriously lacks
these aids to growth and prosperity.
For some reason this highway has
not been built. Some Of those inter-
ested in this have seen highways
constructed which they felt were net
so badly needed as this. We note
that the Chamber of Commerce at
Natervillc apears confident OF
securing a state highway to Belfast,
around by Benton and Albion
through Freedom. The progressive,
growing town of Albion would seem
to need better outlet to Water
Vile than is now afforded but the
other country, which this route
would touch, already has railroad
connections with WatcryilIc. How
ever, such Il proposed highway
would undoubtedly prove boon,
though considering the delay which
has been experienced on Il ron,e for
which there is greater nccl the
coast to the State Capital, its con-
Gtruction may not logically be c.
pected in the immediate future

Negro Women
Behind Move To
North ADVANTAGES

Chicago, Sept. 26-(By A. P)-
That negro women, striving for bet
ter conditions for themselves and
their husbands, and better educa
tlonal and other advantages fo1 their
children, are behind the migration of
southern negroes from the planta-
tons to the northern cities. is the
conclusion of the Rev. DR.. w. A. c..
Hughes, superintendent of the de-
partment of negro work of the Meth
odist Episcopal church.
DR.. Hughes, himself of negro blood.
has made a wide study of the con-
dltions and reasons causing the
southern negroes to migrate to the
cities and factories of the north.
Behind the industrious, hard
working negro man in this present
mlGrat ton is the negro wife and mo-
ther,' says DIR. Hughes. THE con-
slant dread that a son or a husband
Will say too much is the thing that
Is wearing threadbarc the nerves of
the negro woman of the south. Add
ed to this is the lack of opportunity
for her child, and she is the driving
power of the present movement from
the SOUTH
illinois seems to be the favored
locality. according to DIR. Hughes.
More than 100000 negroes have left
lle00 farms in Georgia alone" he
declared. "A late survey of negro
congregations in rural communities
OF the Atlanta conference substanti-
ates the estimate that $500 negroes
have left likes county alone. w. w.
Long of Clemson college has found
that 10000 negroes had left Al coun-
tles. The delta regions of Mississippi
LOST 1000 workmen in the last six
months of 1922"
DR.. Hughes has found many cases
OF team work on the part of impov-
erished negroes who wanted to go
north. BY pooling their resources a
NUMBER SEND one or two of their
group north, and these in turn send
most of their wages back to. bring
up the remainder.

Simple Application That
DiSSOlUeS Blackhe0ds

No more squeezing and pinching to
get rid of those unsightly blemishes,
blackheads. There is one simple, safe
and sure way TO get them out and that
is to dissolve them. Get about two
ounces of calonite powder from your
druggist-sprinkle a little on hot,
wet cloth-rub briskly over the black
heads for few Seconds-wash the
parts and every blackhead will be gone.
Pinching and squeezing out black
heads make large pores and you cam
not get all of the blackheads out this
way-while this simple application of
caionite powder and water dissolves
every particle of them and leaves the

indicate that the greater paYt Of the
two million inhabitants are acting
as did Indians before they became

All the accounts report conditions
there which are u disgrace to self

try in which they exist. That these
would not have come into existence
but for the activities OF the INu I[luX
Khan, or some other like distUybcr,
is evident. This by no means i'm
plies that the only Objectionable pco-
pie in that state are members Of the
Khan nor need we believe that all
the deviltry has been committed by
members of the Khan.
What it does mean is that this
is the fruitase of Khan methods,
that the ills which have followed
have been logical results Of this at

state an invisible empire assum-
ing to impose its cdictS on the pcO-

mon sense isn't always an accom-
paniment of literacy.

given Governor Walton of oklahoma
his opportunity to establish military

by those who framed the American

1t is idle now for the Khan TO deny

prove an alibi in the case of crimes
which may have been committed by

If the Klansmen, as they claim,
are in the majority in oklahoma, if
they are those who have elected the

the larger number of the National

they not the slightest ground or eX-
