Faggedy Ann, Rsggedy Andy and the little fat Captain stood in the patch ot gum drops and watched the Hobgohlins flying home upon their magic broom sticks.
 Raggedy Ann had taken three baskets Of the gum drops to the cabin of the Captains little white magical boat, for she knew they would enjoy more gum drops 10 eat after they had eaten dinner.
 We'll" the little Captain said. "I speCt, now that We have eaten all the gum drops we want, we had bet ter go on board our little white boat and have dinner, for I am getting verv hungry,'
 IL was very easy for Raggedv Ann to get dinner on the little magic boat because all she had to do was. walk 10 the magical cupboard and wish for whatever she thought would be nice for dinner. And, as soon as she opened the cupboard door, she found just what she had wished for.
 And with the magical Ice cream soda water fountain, too, she was sure 10 have a very fine dinner. They ate their dinner-even the msgica hobby horse-as the little magical boat sailed along a few feet above The path running through the deep, deep woods and had just f1n- tshed eating and Raggady Ann had 1 washed Raggedv Andy's and the ittle Captains 8 faces when the mag icsl boat came 10 stop.
 Who's stopping cur nice little white boat rhe little Captain asked as he ran out upon the deck. T am That's who' a strange man said as he climbed upon the deck 'I stretched q magic net across the path 20 that I could catch anyone who came this way, And now that 1 have caught this rics little boat. shall make you get off and ' shall take a nice ride ! all ty nyse'f'"

 Aha" the strange man laughed "Aryone can 7-restle a whole lot ot Fohgoblns. One time wrestlsd sixteen Hobgoblins and made them all ho1'l! l spect can easily throw all 0. you from this little boat
 Fsgeedy Ann took her hand out ct her apron pocket and then etoop- ss over and pretended as if she Ta' tving her rag shoe. but Of course she had 10 shoe strings, When she stoos up again she sad, Just tc see f you are as strong as the lIttl' .at Captain. let me see f you car lift ms and throw me over the side ot the boat. The Hobgoblin threw me over, but I'll bet you cant
 "Hs, I'll bet nickel ! can" th' strange man sad as he rolled ID hi sleeves. I'm lots stronger than sI old HohEoblin!"
 So he caught hold of Ragged,

 A gentle touch on hts sleeve checked him. He fingered his coat collar as If it choked him.

 To Agricultural School
New $l0O, ,0O0 Administration Building Is Being
 Erected This Year

lines For the agricultural department, separate brick building has beer erected on the campus, during the pres ent year. A suite of rooms in the Main building will be used for the home economic department.

 The large three-story building which has heretofore been used as a school building will be used exclusively as a dormitory. It, will accommodate a large number of pupils, who wish to secure board at a reasonable price.
 In addition to the vocational courses, two other courses of study, a language course and science course, are offered leading to graduation. Sixteen stand ard units are. required to the indi- vidual pupils. This school is fully accredited, all graduates entering col lege without examination.
 The enrolment of the school is stead fly increasing and the pupils not only from Talladega, but from other coun- ties. A large per cent of our patronage comes from the surrounding counties. The roll of the present senior class numbered more than fifty-the largest senior clss in the history of the school. , The school year just closing has been most successful from every stand point. The present faculty of eight, headed by Superintendent J. F.
