said, and oft' sho went.
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.

"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!"
