TWO EXAMPLES

When the census maps finally get back to the states, there will come up again the decennial strug- gle to eliminate or maintain dis tricts which obviously offer such unfair representation as to be some times almost laughable Just to take two as examples: In New York City, Samuel Dickstein rep resents the lower east side 18th congressional district. According 10 the 1880 census, he has been speak ing for 90,67l persons. Just. across the East River in Kings County, Donald L. O'Toole, in the eighth district, has been representing, 799,- 407 persons. In other words, if Dicksteins district and O'Toole's are on opposite sides of the fence on any issue, then the former has nearly eight times the voting strength of the latter in the House of Representatives.

three Congressmen- t-large.
 In Illinois Ohio and Oklahoma the Legisla lures can wrangle over whether they want to drop their present posts of "Congressmen-at large" =. or redistrict.
 In Illinois that would mean dropping one of the seats held by Congressmen elect William G Stratton and Stephen A. Day; in Ohio, one of those held by Rep George H. Bender and Congress man-elect Stephen M. Young; ir Oklahoma, the seat now held by Rep. Will Rogers.
 In the other seven states which lose Representatives. redistrictine must come. If that were all, it would mean possibly only politi- cal upheaval, attempts at gerry mandering Juggling district lines so one party or the other will have voting advantage), and otherwise general fracases in the above-named states. But that isn't all.

 Needed No More
 Eric needed no more. He leaned over and whispered in the ear of his winged horse, Take me to the Iron Mountain
 The horse sprang through the air. They flew into great, black clouds and soon great, icy sheets of rain were falling about them. The horses strong wings were so wet he could hardly fly. He began to sink. And below them was the gray and angry sea.
 So Eric quickly pulled out his white seashell. It fell to the ocean below and turned into fine white boat. Eric and his horse settled down on the deck, and the boat sped over the water to the Iron Mountain.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN
The Giants Heart Wasn't There

The Giants Heart Wasn't There
 Eric was headed for the castle back of the East Wind. His winged horse flew through blue sky and pink clouds. Through gray clouds and then through great black ones The air became chilly. Then il became so cold that the horse could fly no more. He began to dir down out of the sky.
 Below them lay the great, gray angry waves of the sea.
 Now what?" thought Eric This flying horse can't fight suct waves"
 Then Eric thought of the little white sea shell Saul had giver him when he left home. Saul hat said it would take him anywhere on the water.
 Eric took the shell out of his pocket. It flew out of his hand floated down to the sea and in 8 twinkling it was a big, white boat Eric and his winged horse settled down on the deck and the boat sped through the water until Eric saw a great gray castle on rock
 There the boat stopped ane Fries horse flew up to the castle door. Eric saw no one. So he dis mounted and leading his horse went all the way through the cas- tie until he came to little stone room under ground. There he saw an open iron casket and beside il slept an ugly troll with long, vel low teeth.
 Eric wakened the troll and tho old fellow grinned.
 "To0 Late"
 Too late chuckled the troll There have been others before you. The giant took his heart ou of here years ago."
 Eric was very disappointed. Bu he could see the casket had beer empty so long that it was filled with spider webs. So he mounted his winged horse, flew to the whit, boat and sped back to the coas of the good gray Queens land There the boat became tiny ses shell again and Eric put it bacl in his pocket. He flew straigh back to the giant who had nf heart. The giant was chuckline over his joke.
 Quite a trip you had, eh?" he said.
 Tt was a fine trip said Eric T found you are very careful giant"
 "Ho, ho," laughed the giant.
 But, sir said Eric T have 8 second crow that must be taught your singing secrets, or my Queer will not believe the stories of youi fine voice."
 That's right" said the giant He looked very self important But let me hear the bird so will know what mistakes to cor rect"
 Eric took the second crow from his pocket and held it out on his hand. The crow preened his wings and sang these words:
 Tell us, good sir, where yol keep your heart,
 There is one comes near it vii rend it apart"
 What, again?" shouted the giant That's impossible, I say. It ha.

AMPLE CARE URGED
FOR PULLET FLOCK

Poultrymen caring for their
pullet flock during the late sum-
mer and fall should keep in mind
that a little neglect now may be
costly later, says c. F. Parish,
poultryman of the State College
Extension Service.
The good poultryman will see
that his birds are well fed on
growing mash, whole corn, whole
oats, and green feed. Here's why
these items are so important IN
the pullet's diet:
The growing mash helps to
build a good egg factory. Corn
puts weight on the bird and lays
on a reserve of fat for the heavy
laying period. Oats furnish hber'
and helps build build resistance
against disease, feather-picking
and prolapses. Green feed fur
nishes succulence, minerals and
vitamins, and is rich in other es-
sential food factors.
