Ruby Kindred. Jefferson, Tex.-Dear
Junior: / have been silent reader of
the Junior page for long time. The
page Is improving very fast We have
very many birds down here, but l think
Inc humm1ng bird Is the prettiest of all:
iney come come mere In April and stay until
1al. Inc humming bird is the smallest
Of birds and has the greatest rapidity of
lileht 10 us size than any of its feathercd
irlends. IL darts in and out our flowers
hunting us rood. 1t lives on insects ana
money vi 400 kinds of humming birds
there are six found in North America.

Ark. Hoosier," Village, Ark.-Dear
Junior; l have decided to contribute a
few lines TO the Junior page. Though l
have never written to the page / must
ures are derived from its contents. l will
try TO describe a pleasure trip which
comes very wildly to my memory. East
session while in school we were not al
lowed to associate with the girls except
when the rules were suspended, and that
usually happened Sunday afternoon,
when 1t happened at all One Monday
morning we were assured that the rules
would be suspended the next Sunday so
we planned for a stroll to the mountains
Whlch lie some miles south of town.
1T seemed as though the time would
never come. but when it did not only
the students. but some of the teachers
as Wen We're ready to start early In the
afternoon. 1t was one of those lovely
May afternoons that seem so we'll adapt
ed to the pleasure of such a stroll All
nature seemed clothed in her best we
passed mere and there to make goo
goo eyes At our partner or to pluck
some wild floweG that grew by the path.
When we had gone about q mile and
after crossing lovely little brook be-
gan to ascend the loftiest mountain of
the group. After an hour of wearis1me
climbing we reached the summit. which
furnished splendid view Of the sur
rounding country
On the east could be seen the Iron
Mountain railroad threading It's way be
tween hills and over valleys; on the west
far down in the valley was a herd of
cattle quietly grazing and the tnkling
sound of their bells was waited to oup
ears on the soft evening air, and to the
north was the town we had left just
short while before
1t was not until the sun was sinking
low IN the west that thought of re-
Stunning our journey. 1t is enough to say
that we reached town very. very tired.
but with a happv recollection that will
long remain with US.
