Grannys and everything in it so Rag gedy Ann and Raggedy Andy were very anxious for the old people to have their house back again.
 Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy tried to think of a way to rescue the Captain but they could not think of a way, for the Witch had told them that she had magic lock on the back door to capture anyone who came in and they knew that if they went in like the Captain, they too would be the Witch's prisoners.
 Il spect we will have to wait until old Witch Grundy goes to bed!' Rag gedy Ann said, Then, maybe we can get inside some way and set the Captain free and put the old Witch out!' So she sailed the magical boat away from the front door of the house and down the path into the deep, deep woods. That will make old Witch Grundy think we are leaving the Captain and throw her off the track. Then when evening comes, we can slip back and

 But while Rag gedy Ann t a l k e d with the Witch, the little Captain had slipped around to the back door to push the Witch from the window, but as soon as he stepped into the house, he found himself a prisoner.

EXPLORES FIJIAN ISLANDS.

Frank Burnett. Of Vancouver, Canada,
recently explored the romantic battle
grounds in the remote Fijian Islands.
He is id to be the second man to study
these anci9nts of the South Seas. For many
wears before they were discovered by Eu-
ropaans, these small islands. Munia and
Ciko5i lying off Iona Iona were inha-
bited by fierce and cannibaIistic M2,anesi-
ars. Much of the history Of the early
tribes as we'll as that of the islands OBJ
tanned by Mr.. Burnett from the Oldest Fl
ian on the island Of Cikobia.
The Fiijans. the explorer says, clam that
the Islands were originally governed by
two gods. The tribes lived IN peace for
many years, but then, like Helen OF Troy
a native maiden Tilted one ChleftaIn'S son
10 marry another and preclpitated a great
war. The fierce cannibal struggle result
ed in the destruction of all the Munians
and all but one. fourth of the Cik0bians.
After the battle the victors returned to
theirisIand but a blight seem to cast upon
them. The population decreased until
today the entire population is accomOdat-
ed in one small village on Cikobia. Mu-
MIA is now owned by an Englishman aad
Is inhabited by himself and his family.
Not a single descendant of the original
MInians exists. The inhabitants Of elk
ooia. however. are Cikobian descendants.
Where the Munians had thair fort 1000
faat above sea level, Mr.. Burnett says,
the trenches are still visible and some of
tha house walls and foundations can be
fo1nd, Perfect skulls and other bones of
the ancient cannibaIs are nun -rous. The

HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE

Four OF the nine accredited high
schools of Cecil County will take
part in the Statewide debate on
Government Ownership Of Railroads
as arranged by c. s. Richardson, s.
M. North and e. G. Fontaine of the
High School Public Discussion
League. Much interest is being
manifested in the schools and pre-
liminary debates are being held
to determine the students who will
represent the. school. The series of
articles which were printed in the
Baltimore Morning Sun have been
very helpful to the young debators
in making preparation for the
contest.
Superintendent Caldwell has ar
ranged for the opening gun in the
contest to be fred at Elkton on Feb
ruary goth when Elkton will defend
the affirmative side of the question
against Chesapeake City. On March
5th Rising Sun will be on the
defensive side at Rising Sun against
Elkton. On February 9th Perry
Vile will defend the affirmative side
at Perryville' against Rising Sun.
The final debate will be held at Chesa-
peake City ON March 18th when the
Chesapeake debating team will be
opposed by the Perryville team.
The Superintendent has requested
Principal Thompson, of North East;
Principal Collins, Of Calvert; and
Principal Fockler. of Fourth District
High School to act as judges. Three
is the maximum speakers on each
side. Should one of the above
schools win both affirmative and
negative this school will be the
County Champion unless some other
school should do the same thing. In
the event of such possible tie, he
two winning schools will have a
subsequent debate to determine the
winner.

GOVERNMENT TRYING TO SAVE
THE DUCKS


Two departments Of the National
Government are moving swiftly to
save the lives of ducks that have been
committing suicide" by the thous-
and by feeding in the wild celery
beds around the Aberdeen Proving
Grounds.
The Department of Agriculture
conducted an exhaustive investigation
when dead and dying ducks were
found in the swamps and discovered
that they had eaten celery coated
with phosphorus dropped from pro-
jectiles and grenades used in experi-
ments at Aberdeen.
The War Departments at once or
dered that frightening devices, or
"scarecrows," be erected over the
celery beds in the danger region and
that experiments hereafter be limited
to places where water was deeper or
where there are no feeding grounds
for ducks.
There was much conjecture two
months ago when ducks were found
dead in great numbers. 1t was be-
lieved at first that coneussion from
firing of heavy explosives had killed
them.
Residents gathered in many Of the
casualties and had them examined to
determine If they were fit for food.
