ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS,
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Mister Bags had cute little store
in the woods, and one day when
Nancy and Nick were out hunting for
wild flowers, they found it.
They mad their magic shoes on,
that's why. Without the help of
magic, they never would have found
it lin hundred years.
And even if they had found it.,
they never would have seen it, half
hidden in the trunk of big tree,
with scarcely n sign of door.
That's what magic does. 1t opens
your eyes to lots of things, and
when the Twins came along, it was
not surprising that instead of lot
of rough bark, they saw a funny
simply stuffed with things.
Over the door was sign which
said Mister Bags-His Store-We
Sell Everything But the Toothache. y

USUALLY A POOR GUESSER

Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia is a mighty good
educator who has mixed considerably in politics He has
been theoretical rather than practical politician
student of constitutional government rather than master
the politics this great American game is played
His latest position upon the liquor issue has stirred
frenzy discussion Those who know him admire his
age taking stand that he believes for the best interest
Of the country.
There many features about the present law that are
ideal That the NOead act has brought about graft
corruption and contempt for law in many places is pretty
well established the records of the land but the
alternative to all this if it return to the saloon and
brothel will not be endorsed at the polls.
In of the congressional elections those who
ran on platforms badly defeated Gov. Smith OF
New York is the only outstanding figure to whom the vets
point against the hundreds who have been swept into
office upon dry plator '.'
seems almost futile discuss issue while of great
economic Importance is usually considered from strictly
moral slant Prejudice and bgotry play such large par
in all discussions of the liquor issue that cold reasoning and
facts get little consideration.
DR.. Butler is of the outstanding figures recently
denounce the Volsead Act But when he says the Re
publican party needs take sides with the vets lose
prestige many states he is good guesser Both major
parties doubtless will do they have done in the past side
step the issue completely and let be fought out in tn
legislative halls.
