T wonder if Enrg"dy Andy has caught uo with Witch WiggIe and Witch Grno]y yeti" the little fat Captain FajI as ho helped Raggedy Ann and tie Grannys and his brother, 'hr little brown mar. to tce cream sodas.
 "Oh. l spect he has caught up with them ty this time" Raggedy Ann replied. "The magical hobby horse can run ever and ever so last. and I am sure the two Witches do not know how 10 sail the magi- cal boat very fast"
 Tt is very fortunate that we were rich. beside this nice ice ~rfam soda water spring when the Witches captured our magical hoat." Mrs. Granny said, "StiII, l hardly see how Raggedy Andy and tha maglcal Lobby horse can TO- capture fhe magical boat from the two Witches, even if he is very hrale."
 "Ha. Ton do not bnow Raggody Anly," the lj'tle Captain said, "R1Egody Andy is not only very uroye. but hjs head Is stuffed with nice white cotton, just like Rag Fedy Aun's and I'll bet a nickel. by this tune. RaggedF Andy has fooled Witch WieEle and Witch Grundy.."
 If l had not let Kaggcdy Andy take my mag,ral horse shoe nail charm. couI easily find out just wna, has happrnt d." the little brown man said, But maybe Rag gcdv Andy will need the magic charm tefore he gets through with th4 mean WItches."
 And, of course, Raggedy Andy did need the magic horse shoe nail.
 For, while he had hidden behind the front door and had cracked the two Witches hard with long stick and as they ran out the back door. the hobby horse had given them q hi of hard thumps, still, the Witches did not intend being de fra'od so easily
 They ran bowling away through Inc p-1ods until they came to a stump, th~n they sat down and rubbed ttsir heads
 "Ha' Why should We sIl and rub or hrals wien we have magic ~harmso" Witch Wirge said as She rubbed their bumps

 Dear Bee: You have probably seen in the papers accounts of the sudden death of Alice Whitney. You couldn't have gotten from them. however, the most tragical aspect of the case, for the family was able to keep that out of the news.
 Bee, Alice committed suicide.
 For long time she had been acting very peculiarly She had had fits of the most terrible jealousy of Leslie and Karl. When she was herself, however, she acknowledged that her suspicious were groundIess and in the last letters that she wrote. for although her death was sudden she had been cOntemp.attnG it for long while. she sald, T have at times an irresistible i'm pulse to torture and even kill the ones I love best"

HERE is FAITH!

The Spring Valley Sun enumerates
few pert questions for Congress
man Frear to answer outright. Or
dinarily it would be reasonable to ex-
pect something of the sort from a
public officer, but to expect anything
but an evasive answer from James A.
Frear on any question whatever de-
notes nothing more nor less than the
last word in universal faith.
The River Falls Chapter of the
Izaak Walton League of America had
an experience which illustrates Jim's
ludicrous yet pathetic habit of
fence-riding, and the laborious effort
of the Rice Lake Chronotype to pin
good headlines onto Frear's weekly
letters is another illustration. A
headline should carry the story's

AGRICULTURAL NOTES
By H. G. seyforth.

Now is a good time to be thinking
about that lime you plan to use on
your alfalfa field for next years seed
ing. Arrangements can be made so
that a local crusher can be operated
in your community, if good limestone
is available and can grind enuf for
several hundred acres. Or we can
place orders for delivery in October
or November when it is more conven-
lent to haul the material. Let me.
know what you want done in regard
to this.
Twelve or more poultry culling
demonstrations will be held in the
second week of August. The full
schedule for these demonstrations
will be published in next weeks pa
pers. Hope that everyone interested
in more economical poultry raising
will attend one of these as you will
be able to get some first hand infor-
nation on this phase of work.
Are the lice and mites bothering
your poultry? If so, purchase some
sodium flouride ana mix with warm
water in wash tub and dip all the
hens and chickens. Dip them so that
the water will go under the feathers.
When the water evaporates the So
dunn fiouride is left at the base of
the feathers where lice will eat it and
die. Remember the louise stays on
the hen all the time. The mite re-
mains on the roosts in the day time
and during the night crawls on the
hens and sucks blood. The best way
to get rid of mites is to paint the
roosts and nest boxes with carbol
inium, a wood preservative, that can
be purchased at most any hardware
store. The two above remedies will
kill all the mites and lice attacking
your chickens.
The Federal T. B. Tester is retest-
ing the old herds in the county and
can test some new ones if group of
five or more want their herds tested
in one community. This can possibly
be done within the next three months
If you and your neighbors want this
testing, please let me know at once.
The new new indemnity funds are
now available and will probably last
only the remainder of this year.
The officers of the Guernsey and
Holstein breeders of Pierce county
held a meeting at Ellsworth last
week and decided to hold two grade
cow and pure bred bull consignment
sales in the Sales Pavilion at ELS
worth, October 8 and 9. On Oct. 8th
the sale of Guernseys takes place
and on October 9th that of the Hol-
stems. The sales committee plan to
make these sales of quality cattle. If
you want to consign any cattle to
these sales please leet me know not
later than August 20, so that the
Sales Committee can inspect them
and decide whether they can be used.

John J. Blaine as governor of Wis
consin; little La Folletters in this
community cried subsidized press"
and carpcd the usual machine lingo
in derision, even to the extent of pla
carding display windows.
All because we expressed tie opin-
ion that Blaine, although then La
Follette's pet, was out to develop a
political machine and not to govern
in the interests of the people of Wis
consin.
Every act in Blaine's administra-
ton has carried out the prophesies of
machine politics which we made dur
ing that campaign, but the La Fol-
lette tag has proved an effective
shield against criticism from de
gang" who have remained steadfast,
though of late greatly bewildered.
1t remained for La Toilette himself
to throw back the curtain and admit
that in backing Blaine he has been
supporting a greedy politician in
stead of the "great statesman" he had
been advertising Blaine to be.
The strongest criticism limited in
The Journal during that campaign
was but whisper as compared to
the shaking blasts of condemnation
now being hurled at Blaine by La
Toilette and his publicity experts.
1t is hardly possible that La Fol-
lette did not know Blaine as well then
as now. 1t is more likely that Bob has
other reasons for giving Jawn the
royal boot.
Robert M. is getting on in years.
Blaine, an apt pupil, learned trick
or two from his early master in the
matter of building up a strong politi-
cal machine under the tzar-like rule,
through patronage and the "judici-
Gus" distribution Of public funds.
Someone will sooner of later fall heir
to the "crown" in Wisconsin's politi-
cal ring. Blaine probably figures it
a ripe hour to get in line.
La Toilette evidently considers the
matter in a different light. And La
Toilette is still on top.

Normal Regents
Express DisapprOval
Declare That 1t Is bad Policy For
Faculty Members To Become
Legislative Candidates
Milwaukee Teachers Case
Cited

President P. w. Ramer, of the Nor
NAL School Board of Regents, has
asked The Journal to publish the
Boards position regarding the legis
lative candidacy of members of the
Normal school faculties. >.
The subject first came up when Mr..
Frank Prescott of Milwaukee made
protest to the Board against the can
didacy of Professor Max Bussewitz
of the Milwaukee Normal. Professor
Buzzewitz is out to succeed Mr.. Pres
colt in the state legislature, and Mr..
Prescott is a candidate for re-elec-
ton.
Mr.. Kramer states that the follow
ing letter, written by Regent E. ].
Dempsey in reply to Mr.. Prescott's
protest, explains the situation and
the Boards attitude thoroughly:
Copy of Letter
My dear Mr.. Prescott:
This is to acknowledge your letter
of the 21st inst. in regard to the cam
didacy of Professor Max Bussewitz
as a member of the Legislature.
Your letter to Mr.. Orthman was
presented to the Board of Regents,
and while the members OF the Board
unanimously regretted the action of
Mr.. Bussewitz in opposing you, they
were in doubt as to their legal right
to demand the withdraw of his can
didacy. The secretary of the Board
was advised to write to you in regard
to the attitude of the Board and |
was asked to confer with the secre-
| tary in regard to the entire matter.
Later in its session the Board found
it necessary to adjourn until the goth
inst. At that time it is my intention
to bring the matter definitely before
the Board for the adoption of poll
cy.
AS stated above we are not entirely
clear as to our legal authority in such
matters. We are of the unanimous
opinion that it is bad policy for
faculty members to become legisla-
tive candidates. Personally | am OPP
posed to abridging the teachers priv
ilege of citizenship in any manner.
However, see a very plain distinc-
tion between ordinary public office
and legislative office. To illustrate:
A member of the normal school ia
Guilty could serve as an alderman, as
member of the local school board,
or even become a candidate for such
an office as state superintendent
without doing anything that would
be a bad public policy. However, if
each of the nine normal schools
should back state senator, and the
nine candidates so backed should be
elected the result would be normal
school legislative lobby on the floor
of the Senate which would be indie
feasible from every point Of view.
E. ]. Dempsey.
