ADVENTURES

Fairy Bright and Ugly Toad

Fairy Bright and Ugly Toad
D 9TH had gone early to bed. TIL,
IN night was cool and a fresh littl,
breeze came softly through the oper
window. But she could not seem u
get to sleep. Perhaps 1t was the
moonlight Maybe she Just wasn'i
tired.
Outside she heard the leaves of q
poplar tree click-clicking as the all
stirred them. And there were crick-
cts. dozens of them; shrill and cleaI
came their chipping.
Then In the moonlight she saw the
morning glory vines which shaded her
window gently pushed aside.
"What? What? Who's there7 Oh
But 1t was only the kindly old Crock
eyjoy.
Ruth was beginning to love the old
fellow. He always came Just when
she wanted him most.
Tonight he carried a rope ladder
made Of silk and it was the very same
color of green as the morning glory
vines. He tied this ladder fast to the
window ledge Then Ruth and he
climbed down.
When they came to the bottom 1t
all looked like a new world to Ruth.
And maybe 1t was. At any rate, Ruth
now saw everything differently.
With the Crockeyjoy Ruth walked
quite a way through the moonlight.
At last they stood still. The Crockey-
Joy gave a faint little call which
sounded to Ruth like the twitter Of a
sleepy sparrow. Some one knew bet
ter, though, for the call was echoed
back to them by an unseen sentinel.
Now shut your eyes," said the
Crockeyjoy. I'm going to blindfold
you. That is the only way little girls
are let come into the fairy ballroom"
So the kindly old fellow took a blue
gray silk handkerchief, which was just
about the color of a wisp Of gray
smoke, and tied It over Ruth's eyes.
Another short walk-then pause,
and gentle voices whispering-then-
of came the blindfold and Ruth stood
at one side Of the most gloriously
beautiful room which ever was. Scin-
tillating dewdrops chung to the roof
like embedded jewels. For lanterns
there were giant frefiies. Dancing
smoothly across the polished floor
were gnomes and fairies dressed In
shining silks and satins-
Ruth faced around to look at the
orchestra. And this was the oldest
thing of all. Seated In long rows,
each with solemn look on his face
and his whiskers waving as he played
were seven dozen brown crickets. And
the leader of the orchestra was
green-frocked katydid. 1t was a very
funny thing TO see all the crickets. big
and little, saving away on their thigh
bone fiddles: back and forth, all at

Use Fine Sandpaper to
Keep Phone Jacks Clean

Dirty contacts of phone jacks will
produce sizzling and frying noises in
the headphones or loud speaker. The
simplest way to clean these jack con-
facts Is to let them close on a piece
of fine sandpaper and then pull the
sandpaper out. Repeat this process
with the sandpaper turned over and
then both contacts are surely clean

once; and the little ones squeaked
and the big ones rasped; but the mu-
sic they made was very good music
Ruth took hold of the Crockeyjoy's
arm and put her mouth close TO his
ear. so he could hear her clearly.
"Who are all these folks" she asked,
''end why haven't l seen them before?"
These are my fairy people" replied
the Crockeyjoy. They are always
here. You have never looked for them
In the right way or you would have
found them. 1t happens that tonight
is the fall pageant Of the fairies. Now.
although you see them dancing here
and seeming so joyous and carefree.
they are all a wee bit sad at heart
because they are afraid that the beast
who owns this toadstool will come back
and catch them
Ruth saw now that the beautiful
big toadstool. No one who saw 1t
standing there tomorrow would ever
guess that tonight II held all these
wonders.
And Ruth" the CrockeFjoy was
speaking again. ''the fairies have SEN
tinels posted all about so that il Mr..
Ugly Toad comes back we can all run
away in a hurry. Listen. There's the
signal Quick. this way. Run !"
Ruth and the Crockeyjoy and the
fairies got away just in time. Most
of the fairies went off to paint bright
colors ON the green tree leaves A few
of them followed Ruth up the ladder.
Look out your window at these
leaves when you get up tomorrow"
said the Crockeyjoy as he waved Ruth
goodnight.
Sure enough. when Ruth looked out
next morning some of the leaves had
been painted with streaks of red and
orange. Ruth smiled to herself and
thought of the fairies and promised
herself 70 go looking for them again.

/. The FARM BOARD
Government Aid in Cooperative
Marketing Seen as Prin-
Cipal Need.

Swampscott, Mass-President Cool
idge will recall his agricultural con-
ference to map out legislative pro
gram for farm aid.
The conference, which was appoint
ed year ago, presented program to
the last session of congress in which
principal recommendations was for
government aid in cooperative mar
keting.
Coming before congress in the clos
ing days of the session the conference
report failed of approval with consid-
cradle opposition voiced to some of its
main proposals.
Spokesman for the farming terri
tories told the President this summer,
however, that they believed co-opera-
tive marketing legislation to be the
principal need of the farmers and the
President has determined to again
leave the problem in the hands of his
conference, headed by Robert d. Gary
of Wyoming.
Secretary of Agriculture Jardine

pointment to his present post.

10 U. S. HIGHWAYS ROUTED
Thirty ArteriaI Ways Designated tc
Reach Every Point of Interest.

Washington-A system Of interstate
roads, known as United States high
ways, was created here by the joint
board on interstate highways.
More than 70 roads were included
in the system, forming net work over
the emit United States and touching
every state capital. Thirty arterial
routes were designated to traverse the
country east and west, and north and
south, reaching virtually every point
of historic and scenic interest.
The shield of the United States was
adopted as a model for the outline or
route markers for the system of ma
tional highways.
The shield will have a white back
ground with the name of the state, the
initials "U. S." and the route number
in black.

John HAYS HAMMOND, chairma

John HAYS HAMMOND, chairman
- of the fact finding commission
created during the coal mine strike of
1923, has visited Swampscott several
times to discuss with Mr. Coolidge the
danger of another strike this summer
Mr. Hammond holds that the right of
consumers TO a continuous supply of
fuel is paramount TO the rights of
operators and miners, and that as a
last resort the government would be
justified in assuming control of the
mines.
THE Presidents position, as / in
terpret IT," Mr.. Hammond said, lis that
it would be premature to assume that
the dispute is not going to be settled.
He has advocated repeatedly a policy
Of the minimum amount of government
interference with Industrial affairs.
The public should grant with patience
every opportunity to the parties at in
terest to settle the controversy them
selves.
'If by any chance, however, occa-
sion should arise FOR President Cool
idge TO exert his influence, l believe
he could rally public support as have

u ELGIUM'S debt commission, con-
- sisting of Former Premier Theunis,
Baron Cartier de Marchienne, ambassa-
dor to the United States; Emil Fran
qul and Felician Gather, is expected In
Washington on August 4, and a meet
mission has been called for August 6.
All the members of the latter body ex-
cept Congressman Crisp will be pres
ent and 1t is believed the negotiations
with the Belgians will not require more
than ten days.
Meanwhile the Belgian newspapers
are saying mighty mean things about
the United States for claiming the war
debt asserting the late President Will
son promised the Brussels government
that Germany should defray all of
Belgium's foreign indebtedness. The
papers accuse America of Imperialism
and of an ambition to exploit Europe,
citing the large American colony and
the American newspapers In Paris.
French delegates are now In Lon
don negotiating an agreement on the
French debt to Great Britain. Until
their business is settled the makeup
of Frances mission TO Washington will
not be formally announced 1t is I'M
derstood, however, that 1t will be
headed by Henri Bergener and will in
clude M. -Bouilion and Joseph

THOUGH compelled to postpone his
l. reorganization of prohibition en-
forcement machinery, Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury Andrews is carry
ing on the governments enforcement
campaign most vigorously. Just now
he is devoting especial attention to
stopping leaks along the Canadian bor-
der and In the South, particularly in
Florida, for he Is determined to check
the entry of Illegal liquor into the
country. 1t is the plan of the federal
authorities to build up working patrol
Of prohibition forces at the borders to
cooperate with agents working in the
interior so that any shipments that
slip through may be traced to their
destination In this way the prohibit
ton chiefs hope to obtain evidence for
wholesale arrests and prosecutions
against organized bands violating the
Volstead act.
Considerable excitement, which was
more than local, was caused by the
raiding by dry agents of the Fish Fans
club, a political organization In Chi
cago and the seizure of liquor found
in members lockers. There was prom
ise that the club would lead in a fight
against the present methods of the
prohibition officials. At Swampscott
the information was given out that
President Coolidge takes the position
that the federal government, while
specializing In national enforcement,
holds itself in readiness to step in
wherever local enforcement lapses, and
he assumes that In such cases as the
Chicago raid there were special rea-
sons for the action Of the federal
agents.
