not have the magic boat to sail home to .heir mama.A
 So everyone ran as fast as they could md as they turned bend in the path hey say the two Witches racing for the magic boat.
 "Ha, ha, hap Witch Grundy laughed as she turned and saw who followed. We shall sail away in your boat! 1! That's what! And the two mean crea tures sprang upon the deck of the boat md started in the door of the cabin to turn the magic switch.
 "Oh dear!" the little Captain cried We shall never be in time to stop them!" And indeed this seemed true, for although he was in the lead, he was still far from the little boat. But jusi when it seemed that the Witches would sail the little magic boat away, the cabin door flew open and Witch Grundy and Witch Wiggle came tumbling out, head over heels and fell, bowling as only Witches can howl in the grass. Then the Raggedys gave a cry of delight, for Ragedy Ann's magic hobby horse came out fo the cabin and said, II 'spect after this, you will know better than to come into this cabin and try to take this magic boat" And he kicked up his heels towards the Witches so hard they ran screaming away through the woods.

This seemed very good plan, so the Grannys went with the Raggedys, the little brown man and his brother the little Captain, to hunt for the two Witches.
 "I'll take a nice long stick and give them a lot of hard thumps" the lit tie Captain said. 'That will make them go hopping away through the woods and maybe they will never re turn !'
 When our friends reached the old log where the two Witches had sat and shivered after the little brown man had driven them from the Granny s house. they saw the footpronts of the two mean creatures.
 They have gone twords the nice lit tie white magic boat" Raggedy Andy said.

Grim Relics of Fight
of Long Centuries Ago

Many indeed have been the revela-
items of archaeology concerning I'm
happy, far-off things and battles
long ago" But British explorations
at Jerablus-the Carchemish of Jere-
miah's prophecy-told a tragic tale
with unusual clearness. Some fine
limestone blocks projecting from a
cutting of the Bagdad railway first
aroused scientific curiosity, and eXca-
walton quickly showed that they
formed the rear wall of fine, spa
cious villa.
AT no great depth under the sur
face the men encountered thick
stratum of burned ashes There was
no trace of later construction, and
the site, which was the most com
handing in the outer town, would
hardly have been left unoccupied
while Carchemish was city; so the
eXcavntors assumed th@t the fire that
destroyed the house WIS that which
swept the whole place about 600 b.
G. Very soon the assumption re
ceived startling confirmation, says the
Youths Companion.
outside the walls they found a few
bronze arrow heads; on the porch
there were Il number of them, and on
the floor of the rooms under the ashes
arrow heads of bronze and iron turned
up in hundreds. and with them lance
points and broken sword blades and
mems bones and all the signs of a
fierce struggle. Always the weapons
lay thickest in 'front.' of room doors,
and there the arrow heads were often
bent or broken, as if from striking
against the bronze casing of the door
ttmbers. II needed but little imagi-
nation to follow the fight as the de
tenders We're driven back from room
to room until they were overwhelmed
at the last.
Near by was found beautiful
Greek shield bearing a Medusa's head
of the finest workmanship. How
came such an object among the ruins
of Carchemish, which was destroyed
in the same campaign in which GAIA
fell? Wise scholars remembered that
Herodotus mentions spoils from GAIA,
dedicated by Pharaoh Necho at the
Temple Of Apollo at Branchldae in
honor of the Ionian mercenaries who
served in his ranks. The eXcava-
tions at Jerablus have led perhaps to
more important results but to none
more dramatic than this. which brings
together in one burnt and ruined
house at Carchemsh two writer's so
far removed from each other as He

Father of History and the Jewish

Tree Planting

request from the American Tree
Planting association for the name of
the champion tree planter" in each
state is reminder of the great growth
of the arboricutural movement In the
United States since J. Sterling Nor
ton first proposed an Arbor day. The
American Tree association says that
it has enrolled 10000 registered tree
planters, but this Is far from conStl-
tutlng our tree planting strength. The
effort to establish avenues of shade
along the principal highways is partici-
pated in by many individuals and by
hundreds of local organizations.
The association meanwhile furthers
an excellent undertaking by publish

The Department of Commerce is
taking a census of agriculture COW
ering the crop year 1924 and relat
ing to conditions on or near January
/, 1925. This is the first census of
agriculture to be taken midway be-
tween the decennial censuses and is
based on the belief that, with rapidly
changing conditions in agriculture,
there should be stock-taking as
often as every five years. The work
of taking the census has commenced,
and is to be completed on or before
January 81. AS rapidly as possible
after the receipt of returns, state
ments will be released for the press,
by the Census Bureau at Washing
ton, relative to production of the
principal farm crops and the values
of farm properties, including land,
buildings, machinery, and live stock
Sample questionnaires are being
widely distributed to the farmers, to
familiarize them with the informa-
ton soon to be called for by the
enumerators. In addition to the
usual inquiries relative to produc-
ton. values, and farm expenses, the
schedule calls for the amount of
taxes paiG by the farm operator on
farm property, including real estate
tax, personal property tax, and
special assessments. 1t is important
to ascertain just what the burden of
taxation resting upon the farm really
is and how it compares with the
amount of taxes paid by other inter
ests. This may point the way to a
more equitable adjustment of the
tax burden.
