ADVENTURES OF RAGGEDY ANN AND
 RAGGEDYl ANDY

Raggedy Ann wiggled and twisted, kicked and whirled around as Heezy the Witch pulled her up in the air to where the Witch sat on a limb, high up in the hickory tree.
 The old Witch had fooled Raggedy Ann.
 Heezy the Witch had captured Rag gedy Andy and she had pretended that she was fishing for invisible fish. And, as Raggedy Ann did not wish for the Witch to have any food to eat, Raggedy Ann had struck the Witch's fishing line with a stick. This made the hook whlri around in the air and it had fastened itself in Raggedy Ann's apron.
 "Ha. ha. haw Heezy the Witch howled with laughter. That was what was fishing for all the time! There wasn't a single invisible fish down there, I just wanted you to get close enough to the hook so that it would catch Tn vour dress! Now, I have you! And she reached out to catch Raggedy Ann's arm to take her from the hook.
 If Heezy the Witch had stopped to think. she would have pulled Raggedy Ann right in the door of the tree home before she tried to take the hook out ot .Raggedy Anns apron. But Heezy did not stop to think of this. She was so tickled to think of the way she had fooled Raggedy Ann, she just reached to catch hold of her and Raggedy Ann kicked and wiggled so hard, the old Witch lost her balance and went tum- bling. head over heels, from the limb Of the tree down to the ground, way be- low. BLUMP!
 My goodness! I hope it did not hurt her." Raggedy Ann said out loud as she climbed upon the limb and peeped over to where the Witch lay.
 "She sounded as if she got terrible bump!' bump, for the distance she fell was great. She remained still so long Rag gedy Ann thought perhaps Heezy had broken her neck, but presently the Witch sat up and rubbed her head.
 My! That was a hard thump! she said in a dazed sort of way Then she looked all around her and then up to where Raggedy Ann sat "How did I get down here and how did you get up there?" she asked.
 ''You tried to catch me and lost your balance!" Raggedy Ann said.
 "Then it is all your fault!" Heezy the Witch howled. And as soon as catch my breath, I shall climb up there and throw you down, too! Then you can see how it feels! It was all your fault '"
 My! You are surely a silly Witch " Raggedy Ann replied. If you had not tried to catch me, you would not have tumbled. You brought all your trouble upon yourself!'
 Anyway, I'd rather be down here than up there!" the Witch cried. "1 can eat all the candy-covered cookies now, and you cant get anything up there; cause there isn't single thing to eat!"
 And with this Heezy the Witch made faces at Raggedy Ann and went hob' bling off towards the cookie patch.
 q don't care!" Raggedy Ann laughed as she opened the Witch's door. shall go inside and find Raggedy Andy and rescue him, for the Witch has hidden him somewhere, I'm certain"
 So she went inside and locked the door behind her, for she knew if the Witch wished, she could use the magic rope ladder and climb up to her home and Raggedy Ann did not wish for the Witch to slip in the door behind hei and catch her while she was looking fol Raggedy Andy.

EndChurch
 ] HasH HarvestDay ! Meeting

The Harves, Day meeting held in the West End Methodist church last week proved to be one of the most success full ever held. Dr. and Mrs. Slaton and the members of the church left nothing to be desired as host and hostesses Appropriate decorations for the oc- casion gave an additional beauty to their lovely auditorium.
 The meeting began on time with Mrs J. NJ. Plant. the district secretary, pre- aiding. A beautiful lesson was given in the devotional by Mrs. Ralph Randle of the Eleventh Avenue church. Her subject was Fruit Bearing and for the scripture lesson she read a few verses from the fifteenth chapter of St John. She stressed the union between Christ and His followers. She said in part that to carry the message to a lost world, we must be filled with the Holy Spirit.
 After cordial greeting from Dr. Sla ton. the business of the day was taken m and roll call and reports given on the different phases of the work. A spirit of optimism prevailed these re- ports since the greatest Improvements were noted in spirituality, increased membership and organization.
 Mrs. W. R. Howell made plea for more workers for the department of young people. Gods plans are being re- tarded because of the crying need for earnest, consecrated Christian workers who are willing to give of their time and talents in helping the young peo, ple's work go forward. May this rest on your hearts and minds until you are willing to be used in this great work Church history is being made now III the foundations we are today laying III the hearts and lives of our children and young people.
 Some interesting speakers were on the program, including Mrs. Emma Mason, who went to China with her husband as a missionary in lSSo. Mrs Barnett. from Opelika, whose son IS teacher in the Scarritt Bible ana Training School for Christian Workers brought us some new facts concerning this great institution. The above are only two of the good things given, but they will serve to show those of you who remained away just how much you missed by not being there.
 At the noon hour, very appetlzlne lunch was served by the members cl the Womans Missionary society or tf1e West End church.

 The commission was permitted by the companies 10 inspect certain of their books and documcnts. but was refused permission to inspect others.
