When they stopped tumbling, they
crowded around the Twins. "Wel-

cried. "Did you come to help scare

"Certainly they didn't" declared
Johnny Jump Up. That's your

"Goodby," called Nancy and Nick,

Johnny Jump Up had reached the

of tulips stood in stiff straight

They were red and yellow and

"Why, they were only buds this

Nancy and Nick, now no bigger
than little mice since they had put
ON the magic shoes, hoped up on
the window-sill of their room beside
Johnny Jump Up, the garden fairy.
"Now climb down the rosevine,"
commanded the jolly little fellow.
So down they went in the moon
light, the three of them, and soon
they came to the garden.
"This is my house-this is where
I live" shouted Johnny Jump Up,
running toward a large violet plant
with big nodding purple violets.
And then suddenly the Twins no

violet plant was in the shape of a

If the farmer is ever going to get
anywhere in national politics, it
will have to be in and through his
political convictions on the welfare
Of all The bloc idea is rotting the
foundations OF Americana govern
ment. We have entirely too many
blocs as it is, manufacturing blocs,
labor blocs, cotton blocs and so on.
What we need is a return to the
idea that government can con-
duct itself for the welfare OF every
one. What we have is the idea that
government exists to be black
mailed by active minoritles with
special interests.
The spokesman Of agriculture,
therefore, can very well go before

They can affirm their approval OF
the principle of protection. They
can point out that this principle.
however. is not being applied in the
general welfare. They can suggest
that the party is under the domino
ton of the Eastern bloc, and that.
as true Republicans, they call upon
the party to rededicate itself to the
general welfare. Let the party eX-
tend protection to agricul ture, or
withdraw it from industry. Pro-
lection is a bloc idea when its OPP
Grafton is restricted to special in
terests. Protection must be all
inclusive, or it is discriminatory in
effect. Therefore, the spokesman
Of agriculture can serve warning
upon the Republican party that
they are the spokesman of the
country as whole. They stand
for protection, if it is complete.
They stand against protection, if it
is incomplete.
The new farm bloc, Of which the
Republican candidate for the gov
ernorship of South Dakota speaks,
is not to be bloc at all. 1t is TO
represent true ReDublicanism
against the various blocs which in
combination now run the party. Ut
must be that, or nothing. The OBJ
ject is to make it impossible, as
Mr.. Gunderson says, for any man to
go to Congress from the twelve
western agricultural states who
does not demand the same proteu-
ton for the farmer as that enjoyed
by Eastern industry. The general
welfare can never be promoted by
any less complete application OF
the protective principle. Converse.
L., if complete protection is not
granted, then in the general well
fare there must be no protection
That is true Republicanism az

a tear for anyone or anybody again.
It's rather sad time Of life for

point in her career where she feels

you said to Dick Summers that you
were not going to let him put you
in position where he could hurt
you again as much as he had al
ready done. The arrogance of that
young man rather appeals to me
however. The idea of his telling you
of confessing TO you-that you are
not the woman who can give him
any thrills, and by this implying
that probably in his future life
there may come again those who
like Paula Perier, will be able to sci
his nerves in an emotional Jingle.
He evidently expects you, because
you love him, to take him back inte
your soft, tender arms when he has
been hurt, or stated, and bind up hi
bruised heart and make it all wei

John Alden would be riding for
fall, and he would experience that
fall very soon.
Honestly, Bee, if it were not for
Leslie, think l would show him
that he is weakest when he thinks
he is strongest.
He was telling me yesterday of
friend of his, Mr.. Sydney Carton
Did you ever meet him? From what
John Alden says this chap must be
real paragon, and also from what
he says l sensed that Sydney is
probably very much in love with
John Alden's wife. John Alden, in
his ignorance and arrogance, has
not the slightest inkling Of the
matter! 'at
Do not mistake me, dear. VI
haven't the slightest idea that Les
lie is aware Of the deep DEVOTION
with which her husbands friends
heart, is, filled, - In. fact, one of the
reasons why think this Carton chap
is in love with Leslie is because he
has made some excuse to keep away
from her; he has only visited them
once since her marriage. But. oh,
you would laugh, my dear, if you
could realize what an eye he is
keeping on friend husband, insist
ing that he shall do his duty as a
husband and gentleman! rs
This, Sydney Carton is coming over
here next week when Leslie returns
from New York where she is visiting
with her family, who have just re-
turned from Europe, you know.
II think I'll break over my rcsolu-
r ton and, visit Leslie during that
time. 1t will be an amusing ex-
5 perience to see husband and friend
I together and unconscious wife sit
r ting between.
