You must make them legs and arms out
OF pins Sometimes you can use pins with
shiny black heads. and sometimes you canI
use white ones. You can find shorter pins
for the arms than for the legs. for II al
Peanuts arms were as long as his legs,
he would feel very awkward. Sometimes
n they should need a gun or "A cane, you
can make them one out Of pieces Of tooth
picks.
There are several kinds Of eyes that Pea
nut people might have Little beads might
be used. or very little pins. Little drops of
paint or ink make very fine eyes. or wee
little bits Of paper can be cut out and
pasted on. But the very funniest eyes OF
am are made with a spot Of white paint,
with a smaller spot OF black inside OF it. or
a little bit OF white paper with an ink dot
on il will do just as well. If you want the
little Peanut person 20 look up toward the
sky put the black spot near the top of tho
white one. And II you want It 20 look
down put the black spot al the bottom OF
the white one.
IT yon find the Peanuts skins are brittle.
and that putting in their arms and legs Is
apt 20 crack them. you can throw them
into water and let them lie in Il FOR a
while. And then you can give them arms
and legs without hurting them.
The little Peanut people VIII no doubt
become very good friends with oar younger
lreaders. and We hope they may spend
many happy hours together.

n NcE upon a time. long. long ago.
| there lived in Japan a maiden as sweet
as she was fair.
This maidens name was o Rim.
which means lotus blossom. and truly she
was as fair as any lotus blossom that ever
grew
Now it happened. when o Rim was sew
enteen years old. she married "A young man
from far OFF village. and. Of course. she
had to live IN the house Of her father-in-
law for that IS custom IN japan
o Rim was very sad when she left her
old home and friends. but as she loved her
husband very much it was not SO hard as
it might have been.
She loved her father-in-law. too. and
willingly gave him the respect and ote-
dience which every Japaaese wife ls ex-
pected TO pay to her husbands faiaer, So
for a while She was very happy 10 her
now home. but when more than.a. year had
passed q great longing to see her OLD
friends and her ola home came over her,

thought -and ask permission 20 wi

So she went to him and bowing very

"Now" ne added to himself, 'lf She loves

To O Rim the condition did not seem
hard She had never heard of paper that
would carry fire and wind. but there must
be such or her father would not ask her 10
bring it to him. She was sure Of that. SO
for whole month she stayed in her OLD
home and was very happy Then Il was

n I'D you ever hear Of the quaint little
hpeople who live in Peanut LandR Pea
- nut Land itself is so very far away
that most boys and girls have never
heard of IL, and since the little people who
dwell there are very funny, very queer
little. people, they make charming play
mates
No doubt they are lonely. as they lie in
the peanut mans cart on the corner, with
nothing az ali to do and nothing TO think
about Perhaps they are wishing that they
were back In Peanut Land where they
came from, and where they were so happy
before they were discovered and brought
10 the city TO be sold II may be they are
thinking Of an the litue Peanut playmates
they left behind and the Peanut brothers
and sisters IN their sand homes
The city IS so very different from Pea
nut Land II Is so big, and everybody IS
30 big, that the little Peanut people would
be afraid to run about by themselves. So
they lie IN the stand on the CORNER, or iu
a big keg IN the store, or wherever they
have been carried by the man who brought
them here to-be sold
But YOU viii find, II you look an kinds
Of Peanut people there in the stand on the

TEMPE
PAST WEEKS BUSINESS
1t Compares Favorably Here with that
 of Former Years.

From events of the past week it is quite evident that Tempe has felt the general depression throughout the country on 2 very small scale if at all. Yesterday was a decidedly busy day with the merchants and the last few dars of last week were equally as good as in former years and in some instances even better.
 The business done at the postoffice is generally considered as a good in- dication of the conditions in a town and if that is to be depended upon in Tempe. there has been no result of the panic felt here There are no figures to compare with what was done year agr. but Postmaster Mullen and his -as- sistants feel pretty certain that as much business as they have transact ed during the past week was never before done in the Tempe office in the same space of time. They have sim ply been swamped with mail, both go- ing and coming The rural carriers have had their share Of trouble too, and it is safe to say that no one is more glad O. the fact that Christmas comes but once a year than the post office force.
 The post office will observe Sunday hours today and if the train is reason- ably early, the general delivery win dow will be open between the hours of eleven and twelve at which time delivery of registered packages will also be made.
