GOVERNOR IS PEEVED

The governor of Florida is yer,
much pecved because the legislature
of North Dakota passed resolutior
condemning the fogging to death OF
North Dakota young man in one oil
the convict camps Of that state a
| young man from Cavalier county,
| who had been fined for vagrancy and
sentenced to Jail and was afterwards
farmed out to Il lumber camp con
tractor and then mistleated in that
camp until he died. The Florida cx-
ecutivc says that the resolution pass
ed by the North Dakota Legislature
is giving his state some very unde-
sirable advertising and the he thinks
our Legislature went too far. The
governor says that no state treats
it; cOnvicts better than does Florida.
We will say that if they treat them
all the same way that the North Da-
kota young man was treated it is very
effective treatment. The State OF
North Dakota is not blaming the
Florida governor in the least he
is not altogether responsible for
what some of the officials of that
state DO, but as head of that state
government he will be held strictly
responsible for what actually happen
ed in that camp, and until the au-
thorities of Florida bring the guilty
party or parties who are responsible
for the heinous crime committed to
the bar of justice and deals with
them according to the enormity of
the crime committed, the people of
this state will pay no attention to
the crocodile tears of the governor
and his protestations that criminals
are treated better in Florida than
in any state in the union Actions
speak louder than words, and what
We want is action and the guilty !

ADVENTUROUS
THE TWINS
BY Olive Barton Roberts

Nancy and Nick stood looking a,
Jack Straw's house spinning around
on top of steeple in Mix-Up Land
That is the last place it had
jumped TO.
81 know what I'll do" cried Nick
"Fll break another of the eggs that
the Cut-Out Lady gave u.s."
So he broke an egg.
Instantly a ladder appeared and
as quickly hoped away toward the
steeple, leaning itself up obligingly
against the wall.
Hurry, Nancy. Well climb it and
get to Jack Straw's house." said
Nick, starting to run.
81 suppose you know what YOU are
doing, but I'd be careful if | were
you," said voice.
There stool a purple rooster,
looking at them through a large pair
of spectacles.
"Why, said Nancy.
Because if Jack Straw sees YOU
and turns his magic ring, the ladder
will tumble about your ears and
then where will you be 2"
"I'll break another egg and see
what happens" said Nick. So he
broke another egg and out tumbled
a feather-b bed
/. "Cock-a-dood -doo!" ,crowed the
rooster. 81 wonder what kind of a
hen laid those eggs? They surely
ought to bring more than 60 cents a
setting!"
"Now l know where we'll be if we
fall" cried Nancy. ION the feather
bed! Come, Nick, let's .1urry."
But spos'n,", put in the rooster,
"spos'n mean old Jack Straw turns
his ring another time and wind
comes and blows all the feathers
away"
"rll break another egg and see,"
said Nick.
So he broke another egg, the last
one. and what do you think
There was only piece OF paper
in it.
