Raggedy Ann. Rag

Raggedy Ann, Rag gedy Andy and the kind Cookie people stood down in front of Hoolkie the Cob lin's funny little four-story house.
 They all felt very sad.
 Inside the Goblin's house in the room right at the top. the nice kind Snitznoo- dle was a prisoner, tied to a chair. Hookie had promised to make SnitZnoodle sausage out of him just as soon as he could borrow a saul sage grinder. So, thinking to rescue the nice, kind Snitz- noodle, little " eeky had reached the Cob lin's roof by hanging to a lot of cream puff balloons which Ra ggedy Ann had baked.
 But, when little Weekly called to his. friends below and told them that he. would soon rescue the Snitznoodle, for, he would climb down the chimney and wrestle with the Goblin, Hookie had laughed and told them that his funny house did not have a chimney, so it was impossible for little Weekly to climb!

will never rescue the Snitznoodlel That's whati"
 You will be sorry for the way you are acting!" Raggedy Ann said.
 The Goblin only laughed again and closed the window.
 Let us go away where we can talk without the Goblin hearing us!" Raggedy Ann said, flor l am sure we can plan some way to rescue both the Snitznoodle and little Weekly, and we do not wish to have the Goblin hear what I've plan!"
 So Raggedy Ann and Raggedy An dy and the Cookie people walked off into the woods apiece and sat down to plan a way to rescue their good kind friends, and they were all very quiet, so that they could think very, very hard.

Snitznoodle! And if you are not careful maybe l shall capture all of you before you are through! And if I do," the Goblin chuckled, T shall eat the cookie people just the same as I have eaten their cookie chickens! And the cookie chickens were very good! Chocolate and covered with candy icingr and the Goblin laughed again when he thought of how sad Raggedy Ann and the others were.
 You are afraid to come down here" Raggedy Andy said to the Goblin. "Pd wrestle you if you did!"
 q am not afraidl" the Goblin re- piled. But it would be foolish for me to come down just to wrestle you. If you wish to wrestle me, you will have to find a way to come up here, and you never can do that, so you

Soapstone Is the heating principle. It has soapstone interior---when it's hot, 1t stays hot
 Ten minutes electric current heats up the rock. It stays hot for more than two hours after the electric current Is turned off. It's the Priceless Cooker principle applied to an Electric Iron. When the iron IS hot disconnect the cord. The soapstone holds the heat.
 It's an Electric Iron of four parts, including the cord. A child can take 1t apart and reassemble it. Repairs are eliminated. Even if you have new, ordinary, old !, fashioned Electric Iron 1t will pay you to l discard it and buy Soapstone Electric Iron. The saving in electricity and repairs will pay you we'll

A cute dress for the little miss Is of navy blue taffeta made with all the fullness in the neck line. Three bands of old rose silk trim the bot tom and band of the same edges the short sleeves. The round neck is bound with the rose silk and two long ends of narrow rose ribbon fall to the bottom of the skirt-a charm ing dress for the Christmas parties and so easy to make.

That was why Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and the kind raisin- hearted Cookie people felt sad. Lit tie Weekly was a prisoner on the roof, for the roof was too high for him to jump to the ground.
 My! How the mean little Gopllh made fun of them all
 He poked his head out of the win dow near the top of the house and laughed and laughed. How foolish you were not to know I did not have a chimney!" he cried, Then he stuck out his tongue which was a very rude thing to do, even for Goblin, and goodness knows they are exceed ingly rude.
 "Goody, goody, gouch!" Hookie the Goblin cried. Now little Weekly will have to be rescued as well as the

But I did hear you say that none of us is without problem to solve. and as one of my own happens just now to be bothering me I had to men tion it, for you might help me solve it. you and Lois"
 Again that look Of admiration in his eyes. Lois bit her lip in vexa- tion.
 What is the problem?" Sumner asked.
 Just this, George Dixon wants to go motoring this afternoon. He has suggested that I accompany him. l would be bored if I went off alone with him, so l want you and Lois to come too. Will you?"

ably more than twenty million bushels
of splendid corn and probably twice
as much as the whole state produced
thirty years ago. The state acreage
of corn is now about four million
Iowa's is about ten million. 1t is not
too much to say that eventually the
corn acreage of South Dakota will be
fifteen millions, and when that time
comes she will produce more corn
than any other state in the union.
Corn is King but alfalfa Is Queen
and it's production is increasing in
the state very rapidly. In 1900, when
alfalfa was first discovered by the
census enumerator, we had an area,
all told, equal to about half a town
ship. In 1910 we had fields equiva-
lent TO three townships, over two
thirds of IL west of the Missouri.
The acreage reported in 1928 was
500, 944 or about nine times as great
as il was in 1910. The South Dako-
Ia alfalfa seed, produced mainly in
the area west Of the Missouri river,
is noted all over the United States
for it's vigor and hardness, and II
gives its producer large returns,
sometimes over 800 per acre on land
costing from $40 to s25 per acre.
q The dairying industry has attract
ed a good deal Of attention every

reason hat the price of dairy pro-
ducts has been very little Debated in
comparison with that of other farm
products. Since 1921 $4,000 dairy
cows have been added to the states
herds making a larger percentage OF
gain than any other state in the union
If DairyiDg is profitable anywhere II
certainly should be in the newer
parts of South Dakota where the cost
of pasturage is little or nothing and
where corn, alfalfa, and forage plants
are easily grown on cheap land anc
excellent wild hay can be had for lit
tie more than the cost of cutting ant
stacking. This is the condition in 6
large portion of the central and west
ern part of South Dakota.
The sheep industry is an importan
one in the sparsely settled regions
and many farmers in the older parts
of the state are carrying small flock:

that part of South Dakota east of the

that part OF South Dakota east of the
Mississouri river. The sIcond con-
gressional district, roughly the north
east quarter Of the state, has %increas-
ed its acreage Of corn 48.7 per cent
and the new part Of the statb lying
west Of the Mississouri river has in
creased its acreage 51.4 per cent in
the same time. The counties along
the northern border Of the state al
though sparsely settled west of the
James river valley, raised last year
one-twcntieth of South Dakota's corn
crop.
To illustrate the northwestward
movement of the corn belt in another
way, in 1900 Beadle County, the CEN
ter of the east half of the state, pro-
duced las 900 bushels of corn.
Twenty-one years later the govern
ment statitsician found that she pro-
duced 2,100,0 600 bushels. The count
les in the central and northern parts
of the state have all INCREASED their
corn production in a similar proper
ton. The rural population of Bea-
die county is only seven persons to
the square mile-just a fraction more
than n average family yet her
present production of corn is more
than 1000 bushels per square mile.
Thee is still plenty of room in
South Dakota for good farmers. BY
a good farmer | mean a farmer who
has had a liberal education in barn
chores. The barn is the nucleus, the
focal point, of farm prosperity in di-
versified farming. Our state is not
crowded. The oldest and most dense
ly populated county in the state
Union, has a rural population Of 16
to the square mile. Brookings County
has Ills; Minnehaha, 14.7; Grant, 10;
while as one goes westward there is
still more room. Hughes County, the
seat of the state capital, and a splen-
did corr and alfalfa territory, aver,

BRITISH LEAD IN NEW
 SHIPS IN PAST YEAR
Germany Second in Boats Launched With the United States
 Poor Fifth

LONDON, March 9.-While the an nual returns of the worlds shipping output in 1922 show that there was 8 general decrease in tonnage launched in most countries, they prove that Germany was steadily forging ahead. Of the 2,467,0S4 gross tonnage launched in the world her share was 575 5,264, coming second to Great Brit ain, whose output represents nearly # per cent of the worlds total. France and Holland came next tc Germany, while the United States was a little ahead of Italy for fifth place.
 Compared with 1921, the reduction in total output is over million and one-half tons and is spread over every country, with the exception of Ger many.
 In Britain the tonnage launched in 1922 was about half a million tons lower than the previous year; in the United States the decrease amounted to the high sum of SS7,000 tons and in Japan to 144,000.
 The world launches for the year include 153 vessels of over six thous and tons each, of which 27 are of over ten thousand tons each. Germany launched the largest yes sels-the Columbus, of 35,OOO tons, at Danzig, and one of about 10000 tons at Hamburg.
 On the whole, 1922 was bad ship building year.
