Alice Just managod to grab the baby, which immediately begatr to squirm dreadfully, and to grunt. Suddenly Alice saw that it wasn't a baby at.all. but a pig in baby's clothes. Sho was putting it down when sho was startled by a loud "Meow" behind h"r. There up In the tree was the Duchess's Cheshire Cat, grinning at her. Alice asked quite politely which way she should go. The cat said a Mad Hatter lived in one direction, a March Hare in another. Then a voice nald, "No room?no room". Alice turned, and there behind her?Hhe was Hiirc it wasn't there when she begun to talk to lite Cheshire Cat?was a table. Three people were having tea at 11. the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, and a Dormouse. So many bewildering things had been happening so rapidly that Alice felt a cup of tea would be very welcome. So she rat down at the bead of the table, and .looked about for a teacup. Hut instead of offering her tea. tiio Halt"!' began to ask riddles that when Alice gave up he couldn't answer them himself Alice was annoyed :?. "I think you might do something hotter with the time than wasting It! like- " Hut the Hatter Interrupted It's 'him', ' he said "I dare say you never even spoke to time." ''No, but I've had to beat time when I learn music", she answered. "That accounts for it. Ho won't stand beating." The strange conversation weut on till Alice was so exasperated that she Jumped up. "This is the stupidlest tea party 1 ever saw" sho said, and walked away. When she turned around the tea table and all the people had disappeared. and Instead there were some little men, with sine ks on that looked like playing cards. They woro very rapidly painting white roses rod, quarreling as they did so Alice learned that a white rose had been plantedby mistake and they were trying to. paint i' fed before the Queen should I come.

"Off with thelf heads", "Off with their heads," no fiercely that Alice hurried them off to where they could hide behind a hedge. The Queen shouted "Can you play croquet". Allco shoute<l back ''Yen". "Come on then", yelled the Queen, and then the most puzzling game began, with hedgehogs for balls and brilliant pink flamingos for mallets. Suddenly the Queen said to Alice "Have you seen the Mock Turtle yet?" Allco hadn't, so the Queen poked her too into the side of a gryphon lying near, and sent him to find the Mock Turtle, then she went off to play croquet again. It didn't seem a bit strange to Alice to find herself on the sands beside the sea. And there were the Mock Turtle and the Gryphon. They sang the quaintest songs for Alice and danced, which was very odd considering the shortness of the Turtle's logs, and the slzo of his huge shell. Alice was much amused, when all at once the Gryphon grasped her hand. "Come on! Come on! The trial's beginning, the trial's beginning." And he began to run as hard as he could, dragging Alice along with him. "Whose trial", she gasped. "Tho Knave of Hearts", he said. 'Tin one of the Jurors, I am." And there they were In the courtroom where the Knave of Hearts was being tried for stealing the tarts. I won't tell you about, this strange trial, hut It ended by the Queen shouting. "Off with her head, off with her head." and Alice waving her arms and shouting back, "'Who cares for you! You're nothing but a pack of cards". At which there was so much confusion that Alice was relieved to suddenly find herself In a quiet flower ghrden all laid out In squares like a chess board without In the least knowing how she got there. And there was the Red Queen. Tho Queen grasped Alice's hand and said, "Run, run?Quick?It's time to move," and began to run as fast as she could ?except that she stayed in the same spot. "Faster. Faster", she cried. "I can't" Alice panted. Suddenly tho Queen stopped. "There"' she said, "You may rest a little now." Alice looked about. ''Why. we're just whore wo wore before." "Of course wo are", replied tho Queen. "You'd have to run twice as fast as that it you wanted t<> he somewhere !?(>."

CUT WITH CARS WHSN CUTTING FOR CHRISTMAS Christmas season bring*! with it iha old .ui.i very desirable custom of bringing something from It ho forest into the home. This Is a custom or long standing, and if It is properly done it results iifcash Income for the landowner, or much needed Christmas money for the farmer, and in many casus, uctualimprovement of the woodlund and appearance of thO countryside. However, in most cases, the reverse Is true and Inasmuch as man controls cutting of Christmas greens It Is within the power of man to do It properly or Insist thut It Is done properly. In places where it Is not done properly some specie# of Christmas greens iiave become exhausted. i In some manm strict laws have been passed regarding the cutting and selling of Christmas tree! and Christmas greens. The gist of the laws governing tills matter is that each tree, bunch of holly or package of mountain laurel bear a tag from the time It Is cut until It Is placed In the home of the purchaser. These tags show, first of all, the name and address of 'the landowner from whore it was cut. The second item on the tag Is a statement to the effect that the material was cut conservatively according to the rules laid down by the state forest service. The third and final requirement Is that the tag ho signed by the vendor and his address is also given. The signature certHVes that the information an<J facts set forth on the card are accurate. These tags, which are sometimes numbered and dispensed for a nominal sum in each county, serve to reduce to u minimum-the pernicious practice of seme Christmas green vendors and cutters taking this material from the woods without the consent of the landowner and without reimbursing him. It also assists in tiro efforts to have this-ciwss of" material cut in a manner which will reduce tho damage to the woodland and which will contribute toward repeated production of this material rather than eradication of it. The simple rules which will tend to conserve Christmas greens on lands whore they grow or may be grown are: Protect from fire. Cut only side branches of holly and other greens. Replant by setting out seeds, cuttings or seedlings. Wherever possible tho owner should do his own harvesting. Penalize theft of trees and Christmas greens in tho same manner we penalize persons who steal other valuable property having a cash value. Aiken county has made a start toward curbing of Christmas green: stealing and proper sale of them by ! tho tag system. Other communities can insist upon the material being tagged as suggested above even though : no state or county law governs this, matter.?Tuesday's State. SPEAK GENTLY (By David Bates) Speak gently; it is better far To rule by love than fear; Speak gently; let no harsh word mar The good wo may do hero. Speak gently to the little child; Its love you're sure to gain; Teach it accents soft and mild; It may not long remain. Speak gently to the young, for they Will have enough lo bear; Pass through this life as best they may. 'Tis full of anxious oare; Speak gently to the aged one. Grieve not the care-worn heart, Whose sands of life are nearly run? 1-o-t such in peace depart. Speak gently to the erring; know They must have toiled in vain; Perchance unkindness made them so; Oh. win them back again! Speak gently; 'tis a little thing Dropped in tho heart's deep well; The good, the joy. that it may bring, Klei-iiity shall tell.

SANTA GOES COMMERCIAL 'Twaa Ray Knight before Christmas when all through the static Not a program was stirring from cellar to uttic. Tito antenna was hung out the window with cure In the hopes that a broadcast soon would bo there. The children were sleeping, worn out by their labors iThope cute Httlo brats who belong t to the neighbors) And mania In a snood and 1 in a stew Had Just-settled down with nothing | to do,* When out from my radio arose auclt a clatter, I sprang to the dial to see what was thu mutter, I Away to the speaker 1 flew like a flash 1 (The set that was left from the '29 Crusty)*? 1 threw on the switch and turned up the volume, Seeking Ideas for my radio oolyum. When what to my wondering ears should appear ; Hut a voice saying 'Santa Is sponsored thiaN year!" With my little old mind so lively and quick, I knew in a moment It much be St. Nick. More rapid than eagles his commercials they came, * And he whlstlod and shouted and called them by name, ''Now Jergens, now Esso, now Hinds for the face, On Camels, on Sealtost, on Sanborn and C>hase! To the grocer's run fast?to the drug storo a van t! Now dash away, dash away, buy all yon want!" As dry quips form the old microphone fly When F. P. A.'s present on Canada Dry, So up to the housetops advertlsemonts flew, With the seed of Sunoco, the gas that is blue, And I know in a twinkling, without being told, That Santa had fallen for radio gold! As I turned off the switch and was looking around, Through the speaker St. Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed all in fur, from an I. J. Fox store, , And his clothes showed that they needed a Lux-lng once more. A bundle of products was slung on his utyck, And a package of Klx in its triple sealpack. His eyes. how tihey twinkled, Murine did the trick His cheeks were like rosea?Lady Father's so slick. His teeth showed he used Pepsodent twice a day. And the beard on his chin was.removed by Molle. The stamp of a pipe, held tight in his teeth Kncircled his head with a Half-awlHalf wreath. He had a round tummy, this commercial old fellow, That shook, when he laughed, like a bowlfjl of Jello-O. He was chubby . and plump, by Wheaties inflated. And I laughed when I saw that his coffee was dated. A wink of his eye and twist of his head Soon gave me to know he ate A & P bread. He spoke not a word, made no more pronouncements. But filled all the stockings with commercial announcements. Then grinning at me, one sentence he uttered. 'I knew on which side, my own bread is buttered" He left as he came?through the radio set. (He blew all t.ho tubes, it's not working yet) Hut I heard him exclaim, ore he dove out of sight, "Merry Christmas to all from sponsors?CJood Night!" Remove Corn From Lung Macon, (la..
