ADVENTUREOF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

1t did seem too bad that everybody
in Rainbow aLnd was SO changed.
The Rimies no longer spoke in
poetry.
The Dummies had discovered how
dumb they weF wsla quite un-
happy about it.
The Earsies just hated their big
ears and refused to sing themselves
to sleep.
The Sneezies no longsxs took snuff
to make themselves cry, But they
cried anyway just because. -
The Tootsies were so ashamed of
their big feet, they hid their heads
inside of their collars and wouldn't
look at anything or anybody.
The Puffies no longer blew this
way and that like thistledown. Their
days of travelling were over. All be-
cause Cross Patch had waved his
bad old magic stick.
my! My! My! This is DREADFUL"
cried Nancy. mister Sky Bow, will
you please tell us where Old Cross
Patch lives? Well have to catch him
and take his stick away from him
at once"
Lets see. used to know" said
Mister Sky Bow, scratching his head.
"Oh yes, he lives on the other side
Of the Rainbow Door in Wet Blanket
Town. It's dreadfully hard to find.
Besides all that, Old Cross Patch has
quick ears and if he hears us coming
he'll wave his stick at us and turn
US all into worms
"I'm not afraid" said Nancy
bravely.
Neither IN II" declared Nick.
"And think we'd better do some-
thing to help these nice little folk
in Rainbow Land out Of their trou-
ble."
"About face! March!" said Mister
Sky Bow. And away they went.

0HARLES RMAN GRAN
WILLIE, an American baritone,
- appeared in an interesting
song recital last night at the Murat
under the auspices of Sahara Grotto.
The program, most OF which was
rendered in English, was interesting
because of the large number Of songs
offered. Moussorgsky's "The Song Of
the Flea" was sung in English.
1t was in the last group of songs
that the singer showed marked ability
in singing negro spiritUals, including
Didn't 1t Rain" and "Wait TILL All
Put on Ma Crown" He responded
with an encore, Run, Mary. Run" ="
another spiritual. y
THE Journey" and Where My
Dear Lady Sleeps" were other-favor-
ties on the program. Mr.. Granville has
one splendid quahty-he can make
an audience hear every word that he
sings. This is where so many Amer
lean singers fail-they do not know
how to enunciate. The English Ian
guage is beautiful in song and Mr..
Granville permits no word to be lost
by faulty enunciation.
The first group Is known as the
Shakespeare group and included TT
was a Lover and His Lass" CAS- You
Like TT and THE Willow Song"

by Press Staff Correspond dent

NILAD, April 1l.-Work of re-
pairing the breaks in the old high
line canal built several years ago in
the INLAND district, has been com.
menced this week. The water will
be turned in within two weeks, ae-
cording to Ed Welch, superintend-
ent of the new water company. The
old system, established several years
ago is being put into use AGAIN so
that 1t will not be necessary to wait
until the laterals are finished before
the land can be irrigated. The ne
cessity for this move became appar-
ent when it was seen that a delay
in plans of the INLAND water dis
trict would prohibit the homestead
ers getting water onto the land as
soon as required by the govern
ment, who has already written the
homesteaders to show cause why
they should not forfeit their en-
tries for not having complied with
the law in getting water onto their
holdings.
