and Gretel. In fact I have read
lot of books but like Hansel and
Gretel best. If 1 am going to tell
you the story I'd better begin.
Once upon time there were two
children. Their names were Han
sci and Gretel. One day as Gretel
was knitting stockings and Hansel
was making brooks, HanSel said "I
know a secret. " "Oh, tell me, -
said Gretel. "All right. There S
some milk in the cupboard. When
mother comes she will make a pud-
ding And at the idea of the
pudding the children began to
dance. They forgot to finish their
work and their mother came. Have
you finished you1 work? No, not
one of you have.'
Reaching for her stick she turned
over the milk. "Oh dear, now we
haven't anything for supper. Go
to the woods and get some ber-
ries.o
1t grew dark as they were pick
ing berries, and then they could not
see. "Oh, what's that?', said
Gretel. "That's nothing" After
they had gone to sleep the next
morning they saw gingerbread
house. Hansel ate some of the
gingerbread and voice said, ION
come, my children, and live with
me-
When Gretel saw this she said
some magic words. When the witch
went into the oven the oven closed
and the witch was caught in her
own trap. The children went home
quickly and lived happily ever af-
ter.

Were you ever asked your idea
of a perfect book? Mine consists
chiefly of two points-a book that
is well written and one in which
the story itself is interesting.
In my estimation "Alice In Won
derland" contains these two quail
tiles to an admirable degree.
This story was written in 1865 by
c. L. Dodgson a we'll known pro-
fessor of mathematics. He, how
ever, considered the name of Dodg-
son too dignified for such fanci-
full tale and had it published under
pen name of Louis Carroll.
The Alice CT Carroll S imagina-
tion was little girl of old England,
with flaXen hair and starched pima
fores. The actual Alice of flesh and
blood was the daughter of his
friend, Dean Liddel. Long before

Removal of Arthur Helm as exc
cutor of the Mullet Island estate
of Captain Davis was ordered by
Judge r. D. McPherrin in superior
court yesterday afternoon at the
conclusion of an custer trial which
was continued from last week. At
the same time Helm was ordered to
file an account of the estate to
date.
S. P. Williams was appointed spe-
cial administrator by the court
which further ordered that the es-
tate was to be held intact. Visitors
will be permitted both on Mullet
Island and the Mud Pots as prev
iously was the case.
This action had been brought
against Helm through a complaint
which stated that the executor had
not handled the resources of the
estate in a satisfactory manner.

The project. which has been ap-
proved by engineers and investigat-

ster. will cost S17OOO0,00o which in

Can Sell Wheat, Get
Benefit Payment, Too,

Reports have reached the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration that
wheat farmers in some areas have been
planning marketing operations in the
erroneous belief that they must with
hold their grain in order to qualify
for payments to be made later on
acreage reduction contracts.
One of the big advantages Of the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
TONS wheat plan is that payments
in consideration of pledges to reduce
acreage are to be made to farmers
separately from and independently of
the market price of wheat.
This plan permits farmers to market
their wheat in the normal manner to
which they are accustomed, without in
the least affecting the amount of pay
ments to be made later to those CO.
operating with the wheat plan. Grow
erS can send their wheat to market now
or withhold it on their farms without
in the least affecting the compensa-
ton payments to be made later. These
payments are to be made to those who
sign contracts pledging acreage re-
duction up to 20 per cent. The pay
ments are to be based on past pro-
duction without regard to present
prices. Farmers can sell their wheat
in the open market now, and in adj
dition collect their payments after their
contracts to reduce acreage are signed
and approved.

Potato Growers Get a
Tip on Harvest Deals.

Minnesota potato growers are eau
toned by specialists at University
Farm, st. Paul, to be careful about
signing contracts to market their
potatoes when harvested They should
be sure that they are dealing with
licensed wholesale buyers. ALI buyers
in this state must have both federal
and state licenses. irresponsible buyers
might fail. to keep their contract in
case the contract price at harvest time
should be higher than the market price.
Another consideration to be kept in
mind is that the market price may
be higher than the contract price at
the time of delivery, and in that case
the grower would be the loser because
he would have to sell at the contract
price
Reports from some parts of the state
indicate that farmers are being offered
contracts to market their potatoes
when harvested.

heretofore has made an agricultural

building having decided to turn the
whole over for the recreational and
outing exhibit.
1t was also decided at the meeting
of the Commercial Club on Tuesday
evening to not have Community Fair
this year owing to the financial strin-
gency. Heretofore the County Com
missioners had appropriated money for
all the County and Community Fairs
but found it impossible to do so this
year.

Flvine Fish Glider,

The flying fish, while apparently
equipped with wings, really gets its
motive power in the air from a Wig
orous flip of the tail fin. The wide
pectoral fins spread wide and serve
somewhat the same purpose as the
wings of glider and permit the fish
to glide several feet off the water for
distances as great as quarter of a
mile. Strong wind currents aid the
fish In making their longest flights
