 "Cause!" the little Captain replied "Every Saturday night I gave them each ten pennies so that Sunday morn- ing they could go to an ice cream par Tor and have m ice cream soda. And do you know, Raggedy Ann and Rag gedy Andy, every crew in the world is just. alike, I spect, for, when they got to thinking how nice an ice cream soda would taste, they asked for twenty cents so that they could buy two ice cream sodas It did no good for me 10 tell them that if they drank too many ice cream sodas it would give them the stomach ache They wanted the twen- ty cents just the same. So l had to wrestle every one, every Saturday night to prove to them that one ice cream soda was enough. And that is what made me so strong and why l could easily wrestle the Hobgoblin over the side of the boat
 Just then the Hobgoblin came over the side of the little magical boat again

By MARY BELL

bows on the sill peered far out into the night. Suddenly the lights vanished. Long she looked and listened, but there was not single. sound near that would indicate from what direction the lights came. Assured that she had eiimpsed the last of them, she pulled down her shades and prepared to re- tire.
 Sleep refused to come and as she lay on her bed conjuring up the probable sources of these mysterious lights she heard the sharp report of a gun. Spring ing out of bed she rushed towards the window. Then came the sound of pistol shot and once more q gun was fired. Within the house all was still. She wondered if Rupert had heard these sharp reports, then instantly con ciuded that there was some connection between them and the strange dis quieting lights. It was wild country in which she was staying. The great stretches of rough woodland would form an excellent protection for any kind of outlawry. She thought of the comfort of her studio and for a moment wished that she had not embarked on this strange adventure. Then realizing that it was the lack of money that had determined her on this course, she sighed and turned wearily towards her bed.

he tried to throw the Captain over too, but the Captain was too strong. It served your son right. And he got bumped head"
 And I shall bump the Captains head, too!' Henry Hobgoblin cried. My son has right to capture this beat if he wishes! All Hobgoblins all ways take things they wantw So Mister Henry Hobgoblin tried to throw the little Captain over the side of the boat and the Hobgoblin son tried to kelp his Hobgoblin daddy, but they did not know that the Captain had wrestled Lis crews until he was very, very strong, So it took the little fat Captain three minutes to throw both the mean Hobgoblins over the side of the magical boat and they bumped their heads hard CT than before. Then Raggedy Ann turned the magical switch and the little boat sailed away above the ground through the deep, deep woods leaving the two Hobgoblins bowling as loud as only Hobgoblins can howl.

from series of "Tals" that is prepared by the Com

speaking of the currency issue Of the Federal Reserve

cordng to these figures there was Federal Reserve

elsewhere and tells the Lewstowh Rotary Club that the

The answer, them to the question Of why banks

simply lack Of confidence. In order to restore conf
