MURRAY INVITES
JOBLESS MEET

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Aug.
6.-Upon the initiative of Gov.
William H. Murray, and follow
ing resolutions adopted at a
Statewide meeting of 1000 dele
gates here last week, an "unem-
ployment conference" to which
representatives of all States in
the Mississippi River basin are
being invited, is to be held in
Memphis, August "a.
In calling the semi.national
conference, Governor Murray said
no politics are involved and that
the sole question to be dis
cussed is:
How to provide work for
the unemployed, what the
work shall be, and where the
money is to be obtained"

h IEVERTHELESS, could hardly wait until
morning to spread the news to the other
fellows But when I found them at Hunks
could talk of little else
We've just been waiting for you, to go out
there said Paul. "I1l bet all the fellows in
town will be there by this time"
And Re wasn't far wrong. When we reached
the road in front Of the Blodgett house dozens
of boys and girls Of all ages were standing
there, gazing at the forbidding structure.
None of them had yet ventured very far into
the yard but it was quite evident that they
were only waiting for leader.
Let's explore the place and see what we
can find 1 promptly suggested. Somehow
because I had heard the news so early the
night before, and had actually seen the light
I felt that this particular ghost was some
what my personal property.
DO you think we ought to?" Hunk de-
INJURED After all suppose we'd be tres

We'll, I haven't an overpowering desire to
mix up with any ghosts, myself" said Chuck.
But by this time a crowd had gathered
around, and felt it was up to me to do some
thing
I'm game to lead the way if some of the
rest will follow I said stoutly, beating down
the feeling of reluctance that persisted in
yelling up inside me. How about it?"
Sure! Lead the way" came the chorus.
Follow me-" I said, and drawing a deep
breath I started up the weeded, winding path
toward the house.
THEY came trooping after me, and at once
Hunk, Paul and Chuck were right beside
me. We marched up to the front door, only
to find it locked. The hinges were rusty, but
it was quite evident that the door had not
been recently used
We hurried to the back door, and a side
door, only to nnd the same condition there.
Then we tried all the windows. The panes
had long since been broken out of them but
they were all boarded up, and anybody could
lately.
Now, what do you know about that?" I
said turning to the cluster of boys-and a
few girls-around me- IF there is anything
in this house, it must be a ghost, because
don't see how anything else ever got in"
Hunk looked at me for moment. Are
you sure you saw a light up there last night,
Bob?" he demanded. Those other people
might have been mistaken, or be kidding, but
if you really say you saw it. I'll believe you"
Il certainly did!" I cried. up in that
middle front window. And I'm going to get

the back porch, and began to tug at the
boards. Willing hands helped me, and in a
few moments we had pulled off enough of them
to enable me to get in with no danger Of

over the sin, prepared to enter the haunted
Blodgett house. Was I nervous? Well, now,

QAVING paid for their gas the two
couples drove their car away from
- the station, leaving Bill and me
gazing at each other with excited
faces
There really must be something
In this, Bob" said Bill eagerly. Can you
hang around a while? I'll be closing up pretty
soon, and then we'll get in the car and run
over there to take look"
I knew that should be on my way home
but who could resist such temptation? "All
right If you aren't too long, agreed.
Bill closed up short time later, and, get
ting into his fathers car, we were soon riding
out to the edge of town. We left the concrete
road where it wound around the hill, and Bill
guided the wheels of the car up the shorter
but rougher dirt road that led past the Blodgett
place.
The old house loomed up amidst its setting
OF pine trees, making a sinister picture in the
rainy night. Bill stopped the car before it,
and we gazed back through the trees at the
ramshackle structure, which stood well back
from the road amidst q veritable forest of
weeds and undcrgroWth.
"It certainly is spooky, deserted old place."
said Bill, almost in whisper. But I don't
hear any music or any lights"
THE big pines hid most of the upper part
OF the house. had been gazing up at the
topmost Of the three stories and suddenly q
little gust Of wind parted the branches Of one
Of the evergreens. My heart leaped to my
throat
"Bin!" gasped. Look therein the mid
die window on the top floor. light!"
Sure enough, as the boughs of the pine tree
waved aside, we could see a dim light behind
tho broken and dusty panes Of the window
upstairs.
"Gee!" gasped Bill in awe. Lets get out
Of here!"
He started the motor but paused with his
hand on the gearshift lever. I'D sort OF like
to have a look and see what it is," he said
doubtfully. "But still"
Exactly" I said emphatically That's just
tho way feel about it. I'll wait until day
light to have my look, If you don't mindl"
Bill turned the car around with difficulty
On the narrow, muddy road, and few min
utes later he dropped me in front of my
house. Rushing In, told the family Of my
evenings experiences in a breathless voice.
Lorna, my sister, was the only one who paid
much attention to me-dad and mother were
inclined to scoff.
IF school doesn't start in this town pretty
soon, wen all be haunted" said dad "Having
all you kids loaf1ng around Is enough to make
