been given to State institutions for
use on the farms owned by the Com
monwealth. The remainder of the
implements will be sold by the

that emergency has passed and we
feel that the tractors can best serve
the State in the way we have out
lined." said Mr. McClain.
The Highway department will put
the tractors to work on the roads

arrives. The twelve machines given
to institutions are the State Hospitals

TIP was well soaked and dripping
water from every angle of his
j body; but he managed to lean
! forward and shout in the ear of the
| Saw-Horse:
"Keep still, you fool! Keep still!"
The horse at once ceased strug
j gling and floated calmly upon the
surface, its wooden body being as
; buoyant ns a raft,
j "What does that word 'fool'
[mean?" inquired the horse.
"It is a term of reproach," an
| swered Tip, somewhat ashamed of
the expression. "I only use it when
I am angry."
"Then it pleases me to be able to
call you a fool, in return," said the
horse. "For i did not make the
j river, nor put it in our way; so
! only a term of reproach is tit for
1 one who becomes angry with me for
I falling into the water."
j "That is quite evident," replied
Tip; "so I will acknowledge myself
|in the wrong." Then he called out
jto the Pumpkinhead, "are you all
| right, Jack?"
There was no reply. So the boy
called to the King: "are you all
right, your majesty?"
The Scarecrow groaned.
"I'm all wrong, somehow," he
said, in a weak voice. "How very
wet this water is?"
Tip was bound so tightly by the
cord that he could not turn his head
to look at his companion; so he said
to the Saw-Horse:
"Paddle with your legs toward the
shore."
The horse obeyed, and although
their progress was slow they finally
reached the opposite river bank at
a place where it was low enough to
enable the creature to scramble up
on dry land.
With some difficulty the boy man
aged to get his knife out of his
pocket and cut the cords that bound
the riders to one another and to the
wooden horse. He heard the Scare
crow fall to the ground with a
mushy sound, and then he himself
quickly dismounted and looked at
his friend Jack.
The wooden body, in its gorgeous
clothing, still sat upright on the
horse's back; but the pumpkin head
was gone, and only the sharpened
stick that served for a neck was
visible. As for the Scarecrow, the
straw in his body had shaken down
with the jolting and packed itself
into his legs and the power part
of his body—which appeared very
plump and round while his upper
half seemed like an empty sack.
Upon his head the Scarecrow still
wore the heavy crown, which had
been sewed on to prevent his losing
it; but the head was now so damp
and limp that the weight of the gold
and jewels sagged forward and
crushed the painted face into a mass
of wrinkles that made him look ex
actly like a Japanese pug dog.
Tip would have laughed—had he
not been so anxious about his man
Jack. But the Scarecrow, however
damaged, was ail there, while the
pumpkin head that was so necessary
to Jack's existence was missing; so
the boy seized a long pole that
fortunately lay near at hand and
anxiously turned again toward the
river.
Far out upon the waters he sighted
the golden hue of the pumpkin,
which gently bobbed up and down
with the motion of the waves. At
that moment It was quite out of
Tip's reach, but after a time it float
ed nearer and still nearer until the
boy was able to reach it with his
pole and draw it to the shore. Then
William C. Sproul had reached ]
Chester last night from NVashington
and was in fair condition.

"Dear me!" were Jack's first 1
words. "What a dreadful exper

to spoil pumpkins?"
Tip did not think a reply was
necessary, for he knew that the
Scarecrow also stood in need of his \
help. So he carefully removed the i
straw from the King's body and
legs, and spread it out in the sun to
dry. The wet clothing he hung over
the body of the Saw-Horse.
"If water spoils pumpkins," ob

fully.
"Then don't worry," retorted the
boy. "Care once killed a cat."
"Then," said Jack seriously, "I
am very glad indeed that I am not
a cat."
The sun was fast drying their
clothing, and Tip stirred up his
Majesty's straw so that the warm
rays might absorb the moisture and
make it as crisp and dry as ever.
When this had been accomplished
he stuffed the Scarecrow into sym
metrical shape and smoothed out
his face so that he wore his usual
gay and charming expression.
"Thank you very much," said the
monarch, brightly, as he walked
about and found himself to be well
balanced, "There are several distinct
advantages in being a Scarecrow.

I "I wondqr if hot sunshine is liable
I to crack pumpkins," said Jack, with
an anxious ring in his voice,
j "Not at all— not at all!" replied
the Scarecrow, gaily. "All you need
j fear, my boy, is old age. AVhen your
j golden youth has decayed we shall
quickly part company—but you
needn't look forward to it; we'll dis-
I cover the fact ourselves, and notify
you. But come! Let us resume our
j lourwey. 1 am anxious to greet my
I friend the Tin AA'oodman."
So they remounted the Saw-Horse,
Tip holding to the post, the Pump
kinhead clinging to Tip, and the
Scarecrow with both arms around
the wooden form of Jack.
"Go slowly, for now there is no
danger of pursuit," said Tip to his
steed.
"All right!" responded the crea
| ture. in a voice rather gruff.
"Aren't you a little hoarse?"
j asked the Pumpkinhead, politely.
The Saw-Horse gave an angrv
prance and rolled one knotty eye
1 backward toward Tip.
| "See here," he growled, "can't you
j protect me from insult?"
"To be sure!" answered Tip, sooth
! ingly. "I am sure Jack meant no
harm. And It will not do for us to
j quarrel, you know: we must all re
j main good friends."
"I'll have nothing more to do with
that Pumpkinhead," declared the
Saw-Horse, viciously; "he loses his
head too easily to suit me."
There seemed no fitting reply to
this speech, so for a time they iode
along in silence.
After a while the Scarecrow re
marked:
"This reminds me of old times.
It was upon this grassy knoll that I
once saved Dorothy from the Sting
ing Bees of the Wicked Witch of
the West."
"Do Stinging Bees injure pump
l kins?" asked Jack, glancing around
I fearfully.
DETOURS WILL
BE PROVIDED
Sadler Says State Will Look
After the By
ways
Highway Commissioner' Sadler
yesterday told road delegates that in
the future detours for the conven
ience of passersby, on highways on
which construction is being done,
will be provided by the State High
way Department instead of by the
contractors, as has herobefore been
the ease.
The Commissioner said that be
cause of the great amount of con
struction which is being undertaken
by the State this year and for the
three 'ollowing years, the question
of detours is an important one.
Construction will be in much greater
length than has ever occured in
Pennsylvania before, and the De
partment plans to make the detours
as short as possible and over the best
possible substitute routes.
The Cambria County people saw
the Commissioner relative to con
struction plans for Cambria County
under the State's primary road sys
tem and by the State in conjunction
with the County Commissioners.
Commissioner Sadler agreed that
construction on the Ebensburg-
Spangler road will be carried through
to the County line near Cherry Tree.
He said that in all probability en
gineering crews will be in Cambria
County within the next two weeks
prepared to make the necessary sur
veys.
A. M. Custer informed the High
way Commissioner that if it is not
possible for the County and the State
to get_ together in the purchase of
the Cramer pike, leading north from
Johnstown, he will guarantee to
raise*the money with which to pur
chase this pike among Johnstown,
he will guarantee to raise the money
with which to purchase this pike
among Johnstown citizens with in
the next month.
Delegations from North Annville
Township, Lebanon County and
Coleraine township, Lancaster
County, were here today.

try. They will be sold only on re
quest.
The new stamp bears the figure
of Liberty victorious, helmeted and

pears upon a shaded panel, with
American, British, French, Belgian
and Italian flags draped for the
background.
"They are all dead, so it dosen't
matter," replied the Scarecrow.
"And here is where Nick Chopper
destroyed the Wicked AA'itch's Grey
AA'oI ves."
"Who was Nick Chopper?" asked
Tip.
"That is the name of my friend
the Tin AVoodman," answered his
Majesty. "And here is where the
Winged Monkeys captured and
bound us, and flew away with little
Dorothy," he continued, after they
had traveled a little way farther.
"Do AA'ingcd Monkeys ever eat
pumpkins?" asked Jack, with a
shiver of fear.
"I do not know; but you have
little cause to worry, for the Wing
ed Monkeys are now the slaves of
Glinda, the Good, who owns the
Golden Cap that commands their
services," said the Scarecrow, re
flectively.
Then the stuffed monarch became
lost in thought, recalling the days
of past adventures. And the Saw-
Horse rocked and rolled over the
flower-strewn fields and carried its
riders swiftly upon their way.
• Twilight fell, bye and bye, and
then the dark shadows of night. So
Tip stopped the horse and\ they all
proceeded to dismount.
"I'm tired out." said the boy,
yawning wearily; "and the grass is
soft and cool. Let us lie down here
and sleep until morning."
"I can't sleep," said Jack:
"1 never do," said the Scarecrow.
"I do not even know what sleep
is," said the Saw-Horse.
"Still, we must have consideration
for this poor boy, who is made of
flesh and blood and bone, and gets
tired." suggested the Scarecrow, in
his usual thoughtful manner. ."I
remember it was the same way with
little Dorothy. We always had to
sit through the night while she
slept."
"I'm sorry," said Tip. meekly,
"but I can't help it. And I'm dread
fully hungry, too!"
"Here is a new danger!" remark
ed Jack, gloomily. "I hope you are
not fond of eating pumpkins."
"Not unless they're stewed and
made into pies." answered the boy,
laughing. "So have no fears of me,
friend Jack."
"What a coward that Pumpkin
head is!" said the Saw-Horse scorn
fully.
"You mighf be a, coward your
self, if you knew you were liable to
spoil!" retorted Jack, angrily.
"There! —there!" interrupted the
Scarecrow; "don't let us quarrel.
We all have our weaknesses, dear
friends; so we must striye to be con
siderate of one another. And since
this poor boy is hungry and has
nothing whatever to eat. let us re
main quiet and allow him to sleep,
for it is said that in sleep a mortal
may forget even hunger."
"Thank you!" exclaimed Tip,
gratefully. "Your Majesty is fully
as good as you are wise—and that
is saying a good deal!"
He then stretched himself upon
the grass and, using the stuffed form
of the Scarecrow for a pillow, was
presently fast asleep.

SENATOR GORE
Distinguished Blind Orator
From Oklahoma Addresses
Chamber of Commerce
Carlisle, Pa., March B.—Calling;
uttention to certain dangers which,
in his opinion, exist in the present
| draft of a plan for the League of
| Nations and pointing out the ad
i vantages which the United States
now enjoys after the war, Thomas
P. Gore, United States Senator front
Oklahoma, made a stirring address
yesterday at a luncheon meeting of
the Carlisle Chamber of Commerce,
| the largest ever held by the organ
ization. In all 175 men from all
[ parts of Central Pennsylvania were
| present.
The opening of his address was
devoted to a discussion of the eco
nomic advantages In the United
States at the present time. The end
of the war means only "readjust
ment" here he stated, not "recon
struction." Senator Gore pointed to
our supply of raw materials, na
tional wealth and position as a cred
itor nafion. The demand for prod
ucts of the farm will be a big fac
tor in prosperity, he stated. In ref
erence to the guarantee bill for
wheat, he pointed out that it was a
bill to be paid for violation of the
law of supply and demand, repre
senting a billion which did not go to
the farmers during the war but
which comes to them now.
The readjustment of wages and
prices should come in proper ra
tion. the speaker declared, any re
ductions to be on the same scale
for both. Then there are the prob
lems of demobilization and of the
national debt. Expenditures by Con
gress in eighteen months of war
were nearly $14,000,000,000.
Senator Gore then turned to the
League of Nations. He stated that
he did not follow the President in
regard to the league nor was he a
violent critic, but. declared that ac
tion should be taken only after
careful thought.

A REAL DRAMA—THE SYNOPSIS
MERILLA, Queen of the Sea, is sporting with the seals and mermaids, when a strange bit of
flotsam comes down into the briny depths from a wrecked ship. It is a book of charms and
prophecy in which Merilla reads that if she can Save four human lives she will be endowed with
mortal form but immortal soul.
Boreas, Master of Storms, has wrecked the ship, and his daughters, the Sirens, are drowning
the hapless sailors dragging them back into the depths even as their boat upsets in the surf.
Merilla swims to the rescue, and succeeds in saving three lives. The Sirens report to their cruel
father that Merilla is interfering with their work, so in a rage Boreas captures the Queen of the Sea
and confines her in his cave.
Prince Hero has sailed to meet his betrothed, Princess Leandra, but loses his reckoning and
lands near this cave, to which he is guided by the good fairy, Ariela. The Prince rescues Merilla
and falls in love with her; but prompted by Ariela, goes on to fulfill his engagement with the Prin
cess. Boreas in revenge wrecks his ship, and the Prince is bardy saved by Merilla, who thereupon
is endowed with a beautiful mortal body, and still more beautiful soul.
The vengefuLßoreas then captures Leandra and shuts her up in his Tower of Knives and
Swords the gateway to which is guarded by flashing, stabbing blades of steel, always in mo
tion. Merilla braves the wrath of Boreas to rescue the Princess, and the evil demon is so charmed
by her that he wants to make her his Queen. Merilla scorns his suit, and by skillfully eluding the
sharp, slashing swords, makes her way to the Princess in the tower, where Boreas locks them
both, and cuts of! all means of entrance from below.
The Fairy" Ariela, however, brings a spider to spin a gossamer web to the opposite cliff, and
Merilla attempts to escape by walking this slender strand across the chasm. When she is half
way over Boreas breaks the strand, and she is precipitated eighty-five feet into the breakers. She
escapes after a battle with the surf atjd brings the Prince to besiege Boreas' castle and rescue the
Princess. The latter, noting the devotion of the Prince to Merilla, out of gratitude releases him
so he may wed the former Queen of the Sea. The Princess herself finds happiness in the love of
her faithful chamberlain, and all ends happily, as good fairy stories should, with the evil demon,
Boreas, being punished by being buried in his own Cave of the Winds.
"Queen of the Sea" will be shown at the VICTORIA THEATER Monday, Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday of the coming week, March 10 to 13, both inclusive.
