WOLF RUN

| notice the Tacy writer, two
weeks ago, said some plain and
sensible things about the war.
You're right old pal, when you
say that the greedy profit taken
who makes war, will never do
the fighting. No the young men
who sell their lives to the God
of War, and receive thirteen dol
lars month, will be the one
to have their bones bleach on the
battle fields. The present war
will be a great lesson to the peo-
pie of both waring and neutal
nations. The time is at hand
when the civilized world is at the
porting of the ways, between the
ruler and the ruled between the
autocrat who distates and the
subject who obeys. nought has
been wasted during the last year
in war, to gain every worker in
every county at war, double the
comforts of life he enjoyed be-
fore. Twenty million men have
been working fora year to des-
troy the things they themselves
have built. What will be the
outcome of the war? Will it be
for better or for worse?

Useful
Hints
The Home-Made Toy
Children May Be Made Happy
Manufacturing Playthinss.

IA Hundreds OF toys arc thrown into
the dust bin or on to the fire liz every
< house In the course OF u few weeks.
This sounds rather sweeping state
ment, but it is a true one. There are
in all homes many little things. utterly
unconsidercd trihes. which the real
toymaking enthusiast will pouncc upon
as soon as he sees them, and which he
will save and guard jealousy tn such
time as he has need OF them. The less
material you need TO buy. the better
toymaker you are.
How cheap it sounds, some one may
eNclaim, and so ii is. Here are IA few
of the things TO be found in ALI houses
which are invaluable for this work.
but which few people have the fore
sight to save:
d Match boxes. the large. strong ones
are particularly useful the empty cases
in which incandescent gas mantels ar
rived: cotton reels OF all sizes: tinfol:
cardboard boxes Of all shapes and sizes;
the huted cardboard packing which Is
such an excellent substitute for cor
rugatsd iron: odd buttons: heads; sill
Yer paper; all kinds OF scraps OF ma
terial.
Keep Children Happy.
These are only Jew things, OF
course. Many more will suggest them
selves to the toymaker as the work
progresses. In time il viii be found
that there is a use for almost every
thing that had formerly been cast aside
as worthless. y glue pot is one OF the
necessary properties" of the toy
maker: thin wire is another. n little
enamel or paint is also useful: feathers

for use when required. You never can
tell just when YOU Will want such
things. and the best plan is to have n
cupboard shelf or drawer which is
sacred to these things. and in which
