Gnome flew from the tip top of the pop corn" clouds with the Raggedys to escape from the little old Witch and her flying broom, they lit in the deep, deep woods, right within 20 feet of an ice cream mud pud- dle.
 And in two min utes the Raggedys and little Ned Gnome were so busy eating the lovely chocolate ice cream, they for got all about the mean little old Witch.
 It would have saved the friends a lot of worry if k a g g e d y A n n had not thrown the w i t c h. S fly In g broom down to her when little Ned Gnome pushed her over the edge of the
 pop corn" cloud down to the bouncy cloud below. But then, if Raggedy Ann had not thrown the Witch's flying broom down to her the poor little old Witch would have had to stay upon the pop corn" clouds until they melted

DEMOCRATIC VICTORY
CLUBS ORGANIZED TO
AID in THE CAMPAIGN
Initial Steps Taken Toward
Forming Clubs In Birming-
ham And Jefferson

Initial work in the organization
of the Birmingham division of the
National Democratic Victory club
democrats of the city signed up for
membership in the new association.
Walter Moore democratic national
committeeman for Alabama, was the
first to sign up for membership. and
was followed by W. B. Harper, W. r.
c. Cooke, Charles f. Rice, L. II,
Cabaniss. W. W. Crawford. Leon c.
Bradley, John w. Sibley and John IL.
Frye.
The Democratic Victory club is
being organized here by d. c. Hodg-
kin. representing the democratic ma
tional committee, who is in Birmng-
ham from Washington, and will be
here during most of the week. Mr..
Hodekin stated Tuesday night that
clubs were being organized in every
city and hamlet in the United States.
and that there would be about 5000
of them when the work was COM
pleted. The clubs comprise from 20
to 100 members. After the Brming-
ham club is well organized other
small clubs will be organized
Throughout Jefferson county, and all
Alabama, Mr.. Hodgkin remarked.
In discussing the plans and pur-
poses of the club Tuesday night. Mr..
Hodgkin said:
1T has usually been the habit of
the national committee and the party
in general, to walt until the presi-
Dental nominations are made at the
June convention before attempting
any organization work, expecting the
nominees to perfect their own or
CARNATIONS, raise their money and
win In a few short months.
Under the leadership of Judge
Cordell Hull, chairman of the demo-
cratic national committee. the actual
work of organization for the 1924
campaign was begun in January of
this year, full Is months before the
convention date.
THE plan is to organi club of
20 or more active democ 8 in every
community in the Uniteu states. In
cities the size of Birmingham, we
get 100 or more of the leading dem
ocrats to join. In every case the
club member pays a small amount OF
annual dues, which creates splen-
did fund for campaign and educa-
tional purposes, and, having per-
sonally covered large percentage of
the territory in the states where
clubs are now being formed, I can
safely say that have never known
an idea which met with such instan-
taneous and enthusiastic approval
Democrats everywhere are militant
and inspired with the thought of
compact, active national organiza-
ton. which, in the opinion of the
leaders of the party, means certain
victory in 1924"
