his country, why should not Uncle Sam
furnish this training at the govern
ment's expense? The government has
the right to call anyone to serve in
case Of war, and without training, a
man is worth nothing as a soldier. On
Gle Sam has splendid new training
camps that will soon be available for
the purpose, therefore, here is double
reason why the Chamberlain bill for
compulsory military training should be
passed at once, 80 that every boy ply
sically fit may have this training and
not leave it for his parents to pay for.
On account Of the expense, not one boy
in so can take the training now. I am
glad that you can do so. These big
crops and big prices, I find, make the
farmers rather 'cocky,' and that the
best is demanded by them"
Billie was up with the lark the next
morning, more excited and enthusiastic
than ever. He had a plan. He knew
Jimmie owned a colt worth 500; that
he would make almost another 500 on
his potatoes if they turned out well,
and that he had from his previous
savings, bought a 500 Liberty bond.
Billie's plan was to. have Jimmie cash
in and go, with him. He was disap-
| pointed to find that Jimmie would still
lack about $500 of having enough to
see him through. His lip quivering, he
said: "I'm mighty sorry to leave Jim
lnie." .
Uncle Dan was silent a moment OF
two, then he asked Billie to go down
to the orchard and get him some ap'
pies to eat on the train. While he was
gone, it was arranged that Uncle Dan
! and Mr.. and Mrs. Graham would ad'
vance the money necessary so that
Jimmie could go. When Billie returned
he was told about it. He a to the
phone and called Jimmie, saying
Come on over, run just as fast as you
can, I've got the greatest news you

The druids with ceremonies Of great
sOlemnity used to collect mistletoe with
q golden sickle against the festival of
winter solstice." Only the oaks bear
ing mistletoe were sacred to this an
cient order Of men.
It is recorded that the peoples rev
erence for the priests proceeded in
great measure from the cures which
the priests effected by ear of this
curious green plant Of the pear-like
berries. It was collected thus cere'
moniously by the druids because it was
supposed to drive away evil spirits.
