CONTEST CLOSES MARCH IL

Dear Juniors. Because last week a
wrong line crept into the Junior lead,
which told of the new contest, we Will
extend the time of the closing OF the
February 20 Birthday contest until
Thursday March 70. We have received
some splendid stories which we Will
publish next week.
We will announce the contest again:
We want each one of you to write
us about some one who has plrth-
day Feb. 20. We want to see now
many people the Juniors know whose
birthday is on that day.
We will give a beautiful cup and
saucer, or a plate, or souvenir
spoon, or a nice book TO the Junior
sending in the best Story about some
one whose birthday was Feb. 20. This
contest closes Thursday, March IL.
We want Gepevieve Anderson and
Lucille White, winners in
the late contest to tell
us whose pictures they want. we
always want to hear from the Juniors
as soon as possible after they win
prize, especially when they have the
chance to select their own prize. Only
this week we heard from a little girl
who was among the prize winners in
the word enigma some months ago,
and who stated that she had never re,
ceived her prize. Had she reported
this omission within two weeks after
her name was announced among the
prize winners, we could have looked
up the package sent to her, but now
it is too late to do anything. We can
only hope that she will try again and
that she will be successful.

A MOUSE.

One there we're two mice, country
mouse and town mouse The country
mouse had to work hard for her liv-
ing but the town mouse lived at her
ease. One day the country mouse in
vited the town mouse to dinner. When
she set the dinner table all she had
was an ear of corn and some barley,
which she had got at the farmers
barn. The town mouse did not Hike to
eat corn and barley, so she said:
Come to my house and we win have
a nice dinner" When they reached
her home they went to the table and
had pies. cakes and bread to eat.
They began to eat but in little while
the door flew open and in rushed a
large cat and they had hardly time
to escape.

COASTiNG IN FEBRUARY.

In February it is very cold. Then
it SHOWS and | take my sled to school
to coast. There are a good many
other children who take their sleds,
so that we have a fine time. Some
times the children fall off when they
get about half way down the hill.
When my papa went to school they
used home made sleds and boards.
We have a fine hill to slide on near
the school. go to the Ashland
school.
Away up north the Eskimos make
their own sleds. They must have a
fine time sliding Because it is colder
there than it is here and the hills
stay nice for sliding much longer.
