Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and Grampy Hoppytoad
and Little Ned, it isn't a speck of fun being a long-nosed
witch. I wish you could help me, but I am afraid if you do
not run for home as fast as you can go, the Magician will
find out you are here and will work magic on you as lie did
me."
"He has worked magic on us," Raggedy Ann laughed,
"but we are not afraid of any mean old Magician .and if he
captures us. we will escape sure pop!"
"Ha!" the ugly witch said, "maybe he will raise an invis
ible wall about you as he did me. I cannot escape, for when
ever I try to run away I bump right smack dab into the in
visible stone wall. And long, long ago I gave. up trying to
escape."

Motor transportation is cutting into the earnings of
most of the railway lines in England so seriously that new
agitation in favor of nationalization of the lines is de
veloping. This must interest American railroad execu
tives, railroad employes, and railroad security holders.
We have a similar problem here. Probably it is
more serious in England because the territory involved
is much more congested, and the hauls correspondingly
shorter, with consequent advantages to motor competition.
But American railroads are nevertheless suffering to some
extent from automobile competition, and we may find
some profit in studying the situation in England.
One railroad in California several years ago found
its passenger traffic between San Francisco and Los An
geles, a distance of about 500 miles, so seriously reduced
by the competition of fast bus lines over the state high
ways that it finally bought the controlling interest in the
bus company. Local shippers around almost every, mar
ket center in the country have noticed a steady increase
in the number of motor trucks carrying milk, vegetables,
and even stock, which formerly were shipped entirely by
rail. Suburban passenger trains may be carrying as many
commuters as formerly, but if so it is only because more
persons are living in the suburbs. Certainly thousands of
persons who otherwise would bs using the trains are now
driving to work in automobiles. One may move from a
flat in Indianapolis to a flat in Chicago, or even from a
flat in Chicago to a home in Detroit with a motor van to
day almost as easily as one would move from 48th street
to Pratt boulevard. , And they hi e doing it. Tha railroads
are losing that business.
Probably as roads and motors continue to be im
proved they will lose more. It is a problem which is
likely to affect earnings, security values, and employment.
The English railways are meeting, or attempting to
meet', the problems in various ways. It is through study
of their methods that we may taka some profit. So far
those methods have been chiefly toward the reduction of
expenses to offset the reduced business and revenue.
They are reducing train crews and clerical staffs. They
are negotiating with trades unions to submit to wage cuts,
or to remove some jurisdictional restrictions which in
crease expenses and reduce production. Later on, as the
problem grows even more complex and serious, they may
alter rates to meet it, or remove trains, or consolidate
services, as necessity may require.
We in America have not yet reached the point of
doing any of those things. But we are approaching a
point where we may have to do so. It will be well if
executives, workers, and security holders alike give the
subject consideration, and adjust themselves in so far as
possible to changes which seem likely to become inevit
able. 0
ADVERTISING CAME HIGH, BUT SHELBY WINS
Two years ago Shelby, Montana, holding its aching
head after the Dempsey-Gibbons bout, was very sour on
advertising. The town had gone broke trying to use a
championship bout to make the world its billboard. Never
again, said Shelby. But Shelby has a different answer now,
according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Shelby has
laarned that advertising even such costly advertising as
that which broke the town in 1923 pays, and pays well.
Mrs. James A. Johnson, wife of the mayor of Shelby, now
visiting in San Francisco, tells that city that the invest
ment was the most profitable thing the town ever did.
The advertising did put Shelby on the map, and has kept
it tnrre ever since.
Shelby, says Mrs. Johnson, is prospering and grow
ing. The publicity is got out of the fight publicity good.
bad and indifferent made the town. The lesson, says
Mrs. Johnson, made tha citizens of Shelby enthusiastic
advertisers of their own buHineM as well as of their com
monity. That, she adds, has gin, the place an extraor
risible stone wall except way, way back in the woods. That
surely is not the stone wall you find when you try to escape,
is it?"
"Oh, no," the witch replied, "the invisible stone wall just
seems to spring right up in front of me, no matter where I
happen to be when I try to escape. Sometimes it is here, close
to my little sfcapty, sometimes it is farther away in the woods.
but it is always there when I try
to escape."
Tha poor witch began sob
bing again, so Raggedy Andy
gave her three more oret.els
which he had picked from the H
pretzel bush. After eating the
pretzels, the witch felt ever so
much better, and Grampy Hop
pytoad said:: "Mrs Witch, what
would happen if we all caught
hold of hands and ran with you
and tried to escape?"
"Why. the invisible stone
wall would come right un in
front of us and then you would
be made a prisoner, too, I guess," the poor witch replied.
"Less see!" Raggedy Ann mused, as she sat down and
ran her rag hands up through her yarn hair, "maybe I can
think of some way so that you may escape from the mean
old Magician."
"Ha, ha, ha!" a harsh voice laughed, "just, you try it and
.ee what you will get!" And out in front of them walked a
;oldier. Anyone could tell in a moment that he was the
rnagician s soldier, because hj had a lonir nose.
"Anyway," the soldier said, "the magician does not cart-
to have you Raggedys here, so I have been sent to fight you
with my long, sharp sword. If you do not start to run when I
count three, I shall whack off your noses."
'Any way, we haven't any noses," Raggedy Ann said.
'That makes no difference to me," the soldier rerlipr! "T
shall cut them off just the same." He drew his long, sharp
sword and whisked it through the air, and Grampy Hoonvtoad
crawled under a large stone and hid. Raggedy Andy was not
afraid, though. He picked up a long stick, just as long as the
soldier's sword, and gave the soldier a hard whack whirh
sent his helmet flying up in the air. Then before the soldier
could turn around, Raggedy Andy whacked him so hard upon
the back, the dust flew, and the soldier dropped his sword and
ran howling through the woods.
Then Raggedy Andy picked up the soldier's sword and
laughed softly to himself, for the long, sharp sword was made
of rubber, and wouldn't cut anything. So when th r,lH,,
returned in a moment with three other soldiers to help him'
capt-ure me naggeays, Kaggedy Andy threw down the sol
dier's sword and with his long stick whacked the soldiers so
hard they all ran howling away.
"Good for you, Raggedy Andy," the witch said. "Now if
you will come inside I will make you some lemonade and give
you some ginger bread."

GLOVERS
Scholarship Contest
Miss Marion West wins 1,000 votes for this
week, selling the most Merchandise Books. Miss
West is a Klamath Falls girl, and a senior at high
school. The high school as well as her many
friends are backing her, and she has a splendid
chance to win.
Miss Ruth Crocker still leads. She is backed
by the railroad men, and that accounts for her
good showing.
Kenneth Caldwell of Merrill has the record
of selling the most books so far in the contest,
and is running a close second.
Below is the standing for this week.
