In half an hour, when old Kingr Cole had finished with his pipe and bowl, he chatted with the Tinymites, and said, ‘‘You’ll like it here. I’m glad such friends I hawe found. Why don’t you Tinies look around. The place is quite beuatiful, and there is naught to fear.” ‘‘Oh, can we do that?” Coppy said. The king replied, ‘‘Go right ahead. I'll even send a guard along to show you this and tliat % ” And so a nice guard started out to show the Tinies all about. They laughed at how the guard was dressed, and at his funny hat. His, shoes had long and pointed toes, and where he got them, goodness knows. His blouse had-all the colors that you've ever heard about. Hie pantaloons puffed in the breeze and hung away above his knees. The Tinies watched Lis antics then with laughter they would shout. Each room they’d enter seemed more grand. The Tinies couldn’t understand how just „one king could use the things that filled the palace great. With golden chairs and other things, enough for many, many •kings, they found that he had put his home in quite a wondrous state. They Went' from bottom to the top and then, of course, they’d stop and peek out through the windows at the scenery down below. Then Coppy said, “Ah. there’s a treat. I think £_gear some music sweet.

They if he'd start to sing, 'ipr ’round him stood three little men, as cheerful as could be. “Oh, I know them,” wee Clowny said. “Os them we all have often read. When King Cole wants some music, he just calls his fiddlers, three.” (The Tinymites see Jaek-Be-Ximble in the next story.) (Copyright, 1927, NEA Service, Inc.)

FARM LOAN PLAN ATTACKED DUE TO SCANTPUBLICITY Former Federal Trade Commissioner Declares Stockholders Kept in Dark. Bii Lmted F’rrxs NEW YORK, March 25.—“ Farm ers who own fifty-five millions of stock in twelve land banks of the Federal Farm Eoan System are worse off than stockholders in any other reputable enterprise in ‘lie United States,” charges Huston Thompson, former member of the Federal Trade Commission. Thompson based his statement on the assertion that the 400,000 farmer stockholders in the land banks receive no annual report without solicitation and that the only report furnished under any circumstances is the one to Congres: lumping the assets and liabilities oi the twelve banks and showing nothing exactly concerning the individual bank in which the stockholder is interested. This fifty-page congressional report “does not give separately financial statements showing the exact condition of each land bank although complete separate statements are necessary to judge the welfare of the system,” said Thompson. “Since the farm loan system is so organized that the liabilities or losses of one bank are in the end the liabilities and losses of the other eleven. ! every stockholder has a right to demand this information. Every, in- I vestor in farm loan bonds would bo j protected by-such publicity. •*To create the farm loan system farmers pooled lands worth velose to two and a half billions as for & billion of outstanding loans. They put up hard cash in addition, fifty millions of it. Yet the dissemination of essential information was not assured, nor were stockholders encouraged to feel that they owned their banks and had free rein in< their local farm loan associations. When they became members of the system, bought stock and received their loans, they were given no certificates of stock. Individually they had nothing except a receipt for money paid to show that they bad actually invested in the system. “Farmers pay many hundreds of employes -throughout, "his system who are political appointees, yet as stockholders have no uncontested way of finding out what it costs to maintain this huge force, including six hundred appraisers arid examiners constantly traveling over immense districts.”

‘BLACK UAH' SPREADS GOSPEL Cgnverts of Evangelist Found in Afric^. Bw JfEA Service CAPE PALMA, Liberia', March 2.'.. —The mysterious “Black Elijah” who converted more than 100,000 Negroes and founded more than 200 churches in central and western Africa has been found living in solitude and poverty.

They always said they had been baptized by “Prophet Harris,” venerable Negro, who was converted more than a score of years ago and received some education in mission schools. White religious Workers, searching for the evangelist, finally found him. in the village of Half GraWay, where he says he will die soon.NEEDLES AS CURE PYENGYANG, Corea —The x-ray machine in use at the Christian hospital heceuhas disclosed some of the amazing treatments once practiced by Korean doctors of the old school.
