Sure enough; the red housesand fences and trees indicated they were within the domain ofGlinda the Good; and presently, as they glided rapidly on, theTin Woodman recognized the roads and buildings they passed,and altered slightly the flight of the Gump so that they mightreach the palace of the celebrated Sorceress.“Good!” cried the Scarecrow, delightedly. “We do notneed the lost Wishing Pills now, for we have arrived at ourdestination.”accepting new customersAutomatic Utilities, Inc.2830 Route 20 East, Cazenovia, NYHours:Mon.-Fri. 8-5FurnaceCleaningInstallations&(315) 655-9500aui@windstream.netWe accept Visa, Mastercard, DiscoverLOCALLY OWNED & OPERATEDEverydayLow Priced Fuel!ONE STOP SHOPPINGHEATING-PLUMBING, ELECTRICALSEPTIC PUMPING, DUMP TRUCKSEPTIC SYSTEMSFullServiceOperation24 HOUR EMERGENCY SERVICEGradually the Thing sank lower and nearer to the grounduntil at length it came to rest within the beautiful gardens ofGlinda, settling upon a velvety green lawn close by a fountainwhich sent sprays of flashing gems, instead of water, highinto the air, whence they fell with a soft, tinkling sound intothe carved marble basin placed to receive them.Everything was very gorgeous in Glinda’s gardens, andwhile our voyagers gazed about with admiring eyes a companyof soldiers silently appeared and surrounded them. But thesesoldiers of the great Sorceress were entirely different fromthose of Jinjur’s Army of Revolt, although they were likewisegirls. For Glinda’s soldiers wore neat uniforms and bore swordsand spears; and they marched with a skill and precision thatproved them well trained in the arts of war.ServiceMASTERClean®Commercial/ResidentialCleaning ServicesChip RossownerServicemaster by Ross2579 Kennedy LaneCanastota, NY 13032Phone: 315/363-9040smross@twcny.rr.comservicemasterbyrss.comThe Captain commanding this troop -- which was Glinda’sprivate Body Guard - - recognized the Scarecrow and theTin Woodman at once, and greeted them with respectfulsalutations.“Good day!” said the Scarecrow, gallantly removing hishat, while the Woodman gave a soldierly salute; “we havecome to request an audience with your fair Ruler.”“Glinda is now within her palace, awaiting you,” returnedthe Captain; “for she saw you coming long before you arrived.”“That is strange!” said Tip, wondering.SALVATORE F.

I suppose she knows why we cameas well as we do ourselves.”“Then what was the use of our coming?” asked Jack,stupidly.“To prove you are a Pumpkinhead!” retorted the Scarecrow.“But, if the Sorceress expects us, we must not keep her waiting.”So they all clambered out of the sofas and followed theSmith Funeral Home(Est. 1860)DeRuyter, NY (315) 852-3393_____________________________________Casket Selection Room on PremisesOld Fashioned ServiceKeeping Funeral Costs Within Reason IsOur Constant ObligationWe Encourage ComparisonTroyer’sTroyer’swhite americnCHEESE $3 29 lb.5518 Nelson RoadCanastota315-655-0346Specials Run - Dec. 20-26Captain toward the palace -- even the Saw-Horse taking hisplace in the queer procession.Upon her throne of finely wrought gold sat Glinda, and shecould scarcely repress a smile as her peculiar visitors entered andbowed before her. Both the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodmanshe knew and liked; but the awkward Pumpkinhead and HighlyMagnified Woggle-Bug were creatures she had never seenbefore, and they seemed even more curious than the others.As for the Saw-Horse, he looked to be nothing more than ananimated chunk of wood; and he bowed so stiffly that his headbumped against the floor, causing a ripple of laughter amongthe soldiers, in which Glinda frankly joined.“I beg to announce to your glorious highness,” began theScarecrow, in a solemn voice, “that my Emerald City has beenoverrun by a crowd of impudent girls with knitting-needles,who have enslaved all the men, robbed the streets and publicbuildings of all their emerald jewels, and usurped my throne.”“I know it,” said Glinda.“They also threatened to destroy me, as well as all the goodfriends and allies you see before you,” continued the Scarecrow.“and had we not managed to escape their clutches our dayswould long since have ended.”“I know it,” repeated Glinda.“Therefore I have come to beg your assistance,” resumedthe Scarecrow, “for I believe you are always glad to succorthe unfortunate and oppressed.”“That is true,” replied the Sorceress, slowly. “But the EmeraldCity is now ruled by General Jinjur, who has caused herselfto be proclaimed Queen. What right have I to oppose her?”“Why, she stole the throne from me,” said the Scarecrow.“And how came you to possess the throne?” asked Glinda.-14- Hi, Neighbor, Cazenovia, NY, December 17, 2012 Contact Us: FAX or Phone 315-655-9431, E-mail: hineighbor@hineighbor.net or Our Website www.hineighbor.netReg. $ 4.49Reg. $ 3.99hot peppercheese $3 99 lb.Troyer’sReg. $ 3.99virginiaHAM$3 49 lb.We will be CLOSEDDec. 24 & 25(Christmas)and Dec. 31 & Jan. 1(New Year’s)100% Grass Fed, No Hormone, No Antibiotic Freezer BEEF & PORKFresh Baked Goods Friday & Saturday - Fresh Bread All WeekOpen Mon. 9-6, Tues.-Thurs. 9-5, Fri. 9-6, Sat. 8-4 - < >USCW GHIAUTO/NF WORKMAN'S COMP POMPCO GUARDIAN USFW GHIDOAN CHIROPRACTICChiropractic Care For The Entire FamilySpecializing in the Treatment of Low Back, Neck, Disk Injury & HheadachesLet Doan Chiropractic Be Your FirstStop On The Road To RecoveryStanton Rd. 4317 East Genesee St.New WoodstockDeWitt662-3508 449-4465MEDICARE BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD CIGNA EQUICORNEED A GIFT FOR YOUR HUNTER?Buy him a book he will actually read and enjoy.N.Y.

May The God Of Conciliation Touch Their Hearts And Ease Their Pain - Pope Benedict“I got it from the Wizard of Oz, and by the choice of thepeople,” returned the Scarecrow, uneasy at such questioning.“And where did the Wizard get it?” she continued gravely.“I am told he took it from Pastoria, the former King,” saidthe Scarecrow, becoming confused under the intent look ofthe Sorceress.“Then,” declared Glinda, “the throne of the Emerald Citybelongs neither to you nor to Jinjur, but to this Pastoria fromwhom the Wizard usurped it.”“That is true,” acknowledged the Scarecrow, humbly; “butPastoria is now dead and gone, and some one must rule inhis place.”“Pastoria had a daughter, who is the rightful heir to thethrone of the Emerald City. Did you know that?” questionedthe Sorceress.“No,” replied the Scarecrow. “But if the girl still lives I willnot stand in her way. It will satisfy me as well to have Jinjurturned out, as an impostor, as to regain the throne myself. Infact, it isn’t much fun to be King, especially if one has goodbrains. I have known for some time that I am fitted to occupya far more exalted position. But where is the girl who ownsthe throne, and what is her name?”“Her name is Ozma,” answered Glinda. “But where she isI have tried in vain to discover. For the Wizard of Oz, whenhe stole the throne from Ozma’s father, hid the girl in somesecret place; and by means of a magical trick with which I amnot familiar he also managed to prevent her being discovered-- even by so experienced a Sorceress as myself.”“That is strange,” interrupted the Woggle-Bug, pompously.“I have been informed that the Wonderful Wizard of Oz wasnothing more than a humbug!”“Nonsense!” exclaimed the Scarecrow, much provoked bythis speech. “Didn’t he give me a wonderful set of brains?”“There’s no humbug about my heart,” announced the TinWoodman, glaring indignantly at the Woggle-Bug.“Perhaps I was misinformed,” stammered the Insect,shrinking back; “I never knew the Wizard personally.”SNOW PLOWINGFree Estimates - Fully Insured - Competitive PricesFall Cleanup • Mowing • Brush RemovalMorrisville, Hamilton & Oneida AreasCOSSETTE LANDSCAPING & SNOW PLOWING“Well, wedid,” retorted theScarecrow, “andhe was a verygreat Wizard, Iassure you.

Thisbook I will read carefullytonight, and try to single outthe acts that may guide us indiscovering the lost Ozma.In the meantime, pray amuseyourselves in my palace andcommand my servants as ifthey were your own.

He ate beans with a knife,made three secret visits to old Mombi, and limped slightlyon his left foot.”“Ah! that last is certainly suspicious!” exclaimed thePumpkinhead.“Not necessarily,” said the Scarecrow. “he may, have hadcorns. Now, it seems to me his eating beans with a knife ismore suspicious.”“Perhaps it is a polite custom in Omaha, from which greatcountry the Wizard originally came,” suggested the TinWoodman.“It may be,” admitted the Scarecrow.“But why,” asked Glinda, “did he make three secret visitsto old Mombi?”“Ah! Why, indeed!” echoed the Woggle-Bug, impressively.“We know that the Wizard taught the old woman many ofhis tricks of magic,” continued Glinda; “and this he would notNEWTON SALVAGE● Junk Cars ● Trucks ● Farm EquipmentTOP CASH PAID315-399-8734IVC #7110991315-507-0059Contact Us: FAX or Phone 315-655-9431, E-mail: hineighbor@hineighbor.net or Our Website www.hineighbor.net‘03 FORDEXPLORER XLT4 WD, 3rd seat, sunroof112K $ 6,990‘04 CHEVYEXPRESS VANAWD, 8 PASS90K $ 9,990‘09 HYUNDAISONOTA LMTSUNROOF, HTD LEATHER17K $ 15,990‘10 CHEVYSILVERADOEX CAB4 WD, LT, TONNEAU, LINER, STEPS54K $ 22,990‘12 CHEVYTRAVERSE LTAWD, 8 PASS.24K $ 27,990VALUEVALUEVALUE*Includes Ttrade-in rebatewww.DenKellyCars.comSALES HOURS: Mon. - Thurs. 8:30 am-7 pm , Fri. 8:30 am-6 pm, Sat. 8:30 am-3pmRt. 12B North, Hamilton - 824-3610 or 1-800-540-1227‘05 CHEVYTRAILBLAZER4 WD, SUNROOF80K $ 8,990‘08 FORDEXCAPE XLT4X4, 4 CYL., SUNROOF, BLACK83K $ 12,990‘09 KIASORENTO LX4X4, V6, LOADED BLACK,49K $ 16,990‘11 SUBARUOUTBACKLIMITEDAWD, LEATHER, ROOF, BACKUP CAMERAVALUEVALUE18K $ 25,990‘10 CADILLACSRXPremium, AWD, Nav., DVD Sunroof46K $ 33,990have done had she not assisted him in some way. So we maysuspect with good reason that Mombi aided him to hide thegirl Ozma, who was the real heir to the throne of the EmeraldCity, and a constant danger to the usurper. For, if the peopleknew that she lived, they would quickly make her their Queenand restore her to her rightful position.”“An able argument!” cried the Scarecrow. “I have no doubtthat Mombi was mixed up in this wicked business. But howdoes that knowledge help us?”“We must find Mombi,” replied Glinda, “and force her totell where the girl is hidden.”“Mombi is now with Queen Jinjur, in the Emerald, City”said Tip. “It was she who threw so many obstacles in ourpathway, and made Jinjur threaten to destroy my friends andgive me back into the old witch’s power.”“Then,” decided Glinda, “I will march with my army to theEmerald City, and take Mombi prisoner. After that we can,perhaps, force her to tell the truth about Ozma.”“She is a terrible old woman!” remarked Tip, with a shudderat the thought of Mombi’s black kettle; “and obstinate, too.”More Next WeekSROKA ServiceCenterHeavy Truck and Trailer Repair142 Lenox Avenue Oneida, NY 13421Hours: Mon. - Fri. 8-5: Sat. 9-12MasterCard, VISA ,American Express, Discover AcceptedNewTiresRetreadsRims315-363-5541TireRepairSuspensionSteeringOil Changes(Services)Hi, Neighbor, Cazenovia, NY, December 17, 2012 -15-
