A VERY kINp eoosE

Geese are always thought to be very
stupid creatures. but perhaps they are
so because they never had the chance
of going to school.
Just think how very stupid You boys
and girls would be IL you were never
taught how to do your lessonsl
There are some geese which have
been taught to do things, however, and
they do those things in very clever
way so that makes me think that II
every goose had the chance of going to
school no one would ever call them
stupid and more.
Just to show how clever goose can
be IL 1t is taught in the right way. viii
tell you a story.
This particular goose lived in France.
and every Sunday, when an old blind
woman wanted to go to church, the
goose took hold OF her dress in his
beak and pulled her gently along the
road to the door of the church. Then,
when the old woman was inside Mr..
Goose spent the time in strolling about
the church yard.
But when the church service was
over he was always waiting at the door
until the blind woman came to be taken
back to her home.
Once a gentleman said to the old
woman's daughter, Aren't you afraid
to let your mother come alone?"
"Oh, no, SIR" said the daughter; I'VE
are not afraid. as the goose is with
her."

GAMES EoR CHILDREN

Now that the time for outside games
has arrived the children turn their
attention to sports that may be en-
gagged in on the commons, in the parks
on the farms-anywhere away from
town and city streets. And they ask:
what shall we play? What new
game have we?"
Now, new games are not necessary.
for none can be more enjoyable nor
more healthful than the old games of
our fathers and mothers. What new
game can lend the same excitement
that does FOX and Hounds7" And for
a game to be played In a small yard
there is none livelier than PUSSY
Wants a Corner" or Tag" And is
there any game more enjoyable than
'Black Mans Base?" Indeed ii seems
that in the old days all the most de-
lightful games were invented, and our
forefathers have handed them down
from generation to generation. Even
the jolly old game of Blind Mans
Bluff'' may be played in a houseyard,
one where there is a stretch OF un-
broken lawn and confined by a fence
or hedge. And "Old Witch" is an
other game always full of excitement
and pleasure for the children.

suaaests ocean pleasures

Dear Aunt Laurie:
/ don't know how successful l will be
on writing the topic for the midsum-
mer frolic, as l have not been many
places in California.
1 think it would be great to have all
of my cousins come down to Long
Beach and have day of pleasure down
on the beach.
We could all go in the water and
play in the sand and go along the Pike
and enjoy ourselves.
think that a climb up to Outlook
mountain would be great, too.
1 love to climb and I believe the
mountain trip would please me the
best, as 1 am where / can see the
water every day. But even if 1 can
see it every day would never get tired
watching it.
/ expect there are a good many of
my cousins who have never been in the
ocean, and l sincerely hope that all
who want to will get chance soon.
1 hope l will be able to come wher-
ever you go. HELEN MACE.

Dear Aunt Laurie:

ings for the Herald Junior. For some
time | have wanted to send one, but |
have been so busy with my school work
that [ have not had the time to devote
to my work in drawing. ] am going to
send another one in so that 1 may join
in the midsummer frolic with the rest
of my cousins, and If I send a picture

it will not l will try my luck at some
thing else, either a story or limerick.

THE BACKWARD CLASS

1 tell them all that AS for Appetite
And BIS Bone, and C's Pussy Cat
And although they do not pay attention quite
The way they should. / think they growled
at that.
They've been to school all day there on the
mat.
And yet they will not learn their letters right;
Their little tummies so very fat
1 fear their brains are crowded just a mite.
I cannot make them consercrate their thought,
Not even though / scold them some, and
frown.
They don't get half the discipline they ought.
Their eyes are so afkectionate and browns
I don't believe that scholars can be taught
Who lick your face and bark and tumble
down.

Venice Seems Desirable

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Last week 1 wrote a letter to Mr..
Griffith, who is a member of the board
of trustees of Venice.
/ asked him to let me know just
what concessions could be made for
the Herald Junior.
You will know best whether the con-
cessions he offers would justify the
juniors in having their frolic at
Venice.
l went to Venice last Sunday and by
the courtesy of DR.. Bently, visited the
aquarium and must say that the many
kinds of fish were very interesting,
as also was the museum, which is in
connection.
Am looking forward to a jolly time
at the Herald Juniors summer frolic.

How to Play indian?

Dear Aunt Laurie:
would like to ask few questions.
VIII you publish in the Junior some
stories about the way to play Indian;
also organize a tribe, say, have two
or three as officers? We live in town
and have a small lot. Please tell me
how to play Indian in this small space.
Your nephew, DONALD MEADOWS.

game he desires? 1 am sure many of
the boys will have had experience
which would help him.

after you own them. Not only must
you have the right kind of a hen. but
you must use time and thought in
caring for her to make her the pay
ing kind.
They paying hen is usually Matched
from paying strain. The paying
hen that comes out of flock of good
for nothing birds is seldom met and is
not worth hunting for. 1t takes time,
1t takes money, it takes born hen
sense to produce a flock of paying
hens. 1t takes very little neglect to
send this flock back to the class Of
nonpaying birds.
Paying birds are a delight to the
eye. You like to show them to your
friends and linger in your description
of what they are and what they have
done for you. The class of birds re-
ceive thought and attention from you.
You gladly take good care of them;
you are willing to properly mate and
feed them; you look for fresh blood
to improve them.
AS pet or object of fancy breeding
no breed of fowls calls forth more ad.
miration than the abundantly feath-
cred Cochin.
Paying birds make up large part
of your flock when you sell the cream
OF the chicks every year. Money MAX
ing fiocks are made up of the best you
raise, always letting the second quail
ity go to the market. Paying birds
live in houses free from vermin and
supplied with pure air and water.
They get feed that is needed to bring
the profit to the proper point. Cheap
feed-because it, is cheap-never
helped to produce the paying hen or
kept her running to the nest. Hens
that pay can be yours If you are will
ing to do your part.
