Never had there been a pond in that part
Of the Green Forest before: not even in
the days when Sister South Wind melted
the snow so fast that the Laughing Brook
ran over its banks and the Smiling Pool
grew twice as large as it ough; to be.
OF course some one had made it. Spot
ty the Turtle had known that as soon as
he had seen the strange pond. All in a
flash he had understood what that wall of
logs and brush and mud across the
Laughing Brook was for. L, was to stop
the water from running down the Laugh
ing Brook And of course If the water
couldn keep on running and laughing on
its way to the SmilinglPool it would just
stand still and grow and grow into a
pond OF course. There was nothing else
for II to do Spotty felt very proud when
he had thought that out all himself.

What dc you think Of this case
Here's the story OF a man who save
e fortune of $4,000 in forty years
starting with humble pennies.
Penny Contest Editor: The intrinsic
value OF the penny in itself Is very small,
yet it Is one Of the most valuable coins we
have.
II IS not only necessary in making
change By merchants, but it is valuable in
many vacations.
II it were not for the pennies such valu-
able newspapers as The Call would not
be in the many homes they are today.
The penny has not only helped TO raise
the mortgage by those who know its value
but thousands Of boys in the United States
are actually supporting and even schooling
themselves by selling penny papers.
To illustrate its value, boy In Des
MoiDes who could only count pennies as he
stood on the corners. with his croaking
voice calling penny papers. had when 40
years old saved fortune OF $40. 00O
There are thousands of families receiv-
