MEMBERSHIP IN THE TRIBUNE
JUNIOR FORUM.

We have received a great many let
tiers asking Us II the writer could "be-
long" to the Junior Forum. OF course
you can!
The only thing needful is to have
your name appear on this page. But
Of course your name cannot appear on
this page unless you solve puzzle,
write an interesting little letter, poem,
question. composition, etc.-that Is TO
say, until you do little work. Be
cause people do not value things for
which they do not work. Isn't that
so? For example, you children don't
work hard for the air you breathe,
therefore you do not value it and 1t is
the most necessary thing in our lives
Did you ever stop to think just how
wonderful the air is!
OF course, we want lot more little
Junior Forum members, so begin to-
day and solve the new kind of picture
puzzle, send us your name and be en-
rolled.

that he'd often sat there and hung 10
feet over and watched the moon come up
Mr. 'Possum said So too; and MI GRO"
said that the other edge was over alons
the wide. blue water, where Mr.. Iurue
lived. and that of course the water was
fat. as everybody could see. Anyway II
would spill out If it wasn't.
But Mr.. Dog stuck to 1t that MI man
had said Just what Mr.. Dog had salu Ho
said. and that, what was more, Mr.. Man
had said that the world turned over every
day and that the sun and moon and stars
all went round it. And Mr.. Man hau
said. too. that people sometimes went
around the world and didn't turn over or
fan off into the sky when they were uh-
derneath. but kept on. and came up on 'he

grumbled. But why are you so happy,

THEY START.

So the next morning, bright and early.
the three Hollow Tree people got up and
started. They packed some lunch in a
basket. so they wouldn't get hungry IN
case they were gone all day, and set out
In high spirits for II was beautiful
morning in April, and they knew Spring
had come at last.
They saw a bluebird up in a tree not
far away. and they remembered what Mr..
Rabbits poem had said about following
him over hill and hollow; so they went
along in that direction, talking and whis-
Ting and singing, because they felt SO
good in the fresh morning sunlight.
And Mr.. Bluebird hoped and whistled
and flew along ahead. until by and by
they came to where Mr.. Fox lived.
