here is one Of the gnswers: There are
four winds. north, east, south and west,
but sometimes two Of these blow at the

topical: wind is an abominable ele-

uproots trees. But it is very useful for

The subject Jam" was equally IN

every house." wrote some one, "and
some people eat it at every meal. Some
jams are sticky" Another subject that
