The Christmas Fairy

Once in a big town there lived a
little boy and girl. They were very
poor and had no parents. The boy
sold papers and cleaned store Win
dows. They lived in a tent in the
wood. The boy would buy the food
and the girl would cook it.
One day when she was all alone
and Christmas was near, there
came an old man who was hungry
and thirsty.
The girl took him into the tent
and gave him something to eat and
drink. The man said, "What do
You wish? You may have five
wishes"
When the boy came home they
wished for a father and mother,
riches, and that they could have
anything they wanted.
Their wishes came true on
Christmas and they lived happily
ever after. $500 Clarence Leaman,

THE FOOD STACKER

There are other slackers besides
the men who do not join the army.
There are the food MASTERS. You
can be patriotic besides joining
the army or navy, you can be
patriotic by saving food and seeing
that others save food Saving food
means to save the food that our
soldiers need, which are wheat and
sugar and meat. We can use corn
bread, buckwheat bread and other
bread that has no wheat flour. BY
saving sugar we can stop eating
cand, we can use mOlasses and
syrups in sugars place. We can
not do entirely without meat, but
we can help Uncle Sam by having
meatless days. By saving food We
are helping the soldiers win this
war. We can only win if every
man, woman and child do their bit
like the other allied countries.

SO it was, that three very unWill-

off, to dream they had gone to live
in the Winter Country and had as
everyday playmates, the Winter
Fairies, who had secretly been
watching the boys since they
awoke. They had been so pleas
ed at the many compliments and
praises the boys had given them
that they had decided as a reward
to give them some happy dreams
of the JOY of the Winter Country.
So while the boys slept on, the
Winter Fairies returned to their
country to leave the Earth People
to enjoy one Of the loyeliest Christ
masses they had ever given them

GLORY BE TO GOD ON HIGH

Christmas! What sweet men,
cries are connected with this, the
blessed day of days!
The sweet sound of Christmas
chimes, the glow of peace, joy and
love on happy faces; the merry sal
utations, all these have place in
our Christmas festival. But after
all, they are meaningless if we have
not found the real source of Christ
mas joys.
1t is to the Christ Child that we
turn, as to the centre of our hap
piness. - Dorothy Williams, Saint
Mary's School.

CAMP FIRE GIRLS
LEAD THE BLIND

Residents of Ampere and East
Orange, New Jersey, have become
much interested in the little pro
cessions of Camp Fire Girls and
Boy. Scouts who are seen every
morning and evening leading the
sightless workers of the Double
Duty Finger Guild to and from
their wCrkroom. The voluntary as
sistance of the boy and girls has
solved the last problem in conneC-
ton with the Guild, which was re
Gently founded by DR.. Schuyler S.
Wheeler to teach the sightless to
earn their own living winding coils
for motor and dynamos.
DR.. Wheeler, who is president
and one of the founders of the
CrockerWheeler Company, manu-
facturers of electrical motors and
machinery at Ampere, started the
Guild in order to perfect a new oc-
cupation for the many War-blind
Now there are more than two score
men and women, all totally blind,
who have attained financial indie
pendence through their work in the
Guild winding room. Every coil
they wind is used in the regular
process of manufacture in the
Croker Wheeler plant, where there
are more than $50 sighted" work
ers engaged in the same OCcupa-
ton. Allied governments have in
yestigated the work and it is a quos
ton of hut very short time before
their sightless soldiers will be
taught bow to earn their livings in
this practically inexhaustible field,
where many millions of coils are
used every year.
The Camp Fire Girls and Boy
Scouts deserve great credit for
their part in the success of the
Guild. They are giving their time
solely through their desire to give
service just as DR.. Wheeler found
ed the Guild to help the heroes who
have given their eyes for Liberty
The heartfelt thanks of the blind
men and women are the only re
ward the Girls and Scouts receive
and they seem more than satisfied
There are several hundred thous-
and Camp Fire Girls and Boy
Scouts in the United States, and as
the war progresses there will be
many more blind There can be no
doubt that these organizations will
carry on this truly patriotic and hui
name work.

SEES TORPEDO
SKIM OWN SHIP

An Atlantic Port. July 1.-THE ex-
perience of watching a torpedo from a
German U-boat. which took part in
sinking the American oil tanker John d.
Archbold. skim along the length of his
own ship about two feet away and pass
on harmlessly was related here today
by a sea captain who returned on a
French ship with his crew from deliv-
ering steamer built on the Great Lakes
to her French purchasers.
The captain said he was watching the
sinking of the Archbold, which occurred
June Is, when suddenly a submarine
periscope was sighted off his own bow
and he swervSd his ship sharply. That
this saved her was demonstrated by the
course of the torpedo, which, he said,
was plainly visible as it passed by.
BY this time he had brought his stem
gun to bear on the attacker and the gun
ners opened fire, sending four shells at
the Uboat. The last one. he said. made
a great splash. which was followed b. a
cloud of vapor, and the submarine dis
appeared. He expressed confidence that
the German boat was destroyed.

tional defense councils storage commit
tee.
Expenditures in excess of fifty mil
lion dollars for terminals storage area

statement. Not a moment should be
lost in providing these facilities. The
equipment which 1t is necessary to pro-
vide for each soldier going overseas
amounts to about Ave and a half tons.
This storage load will be put upon the
nation before the end of the year.

it is essential that the storage areas
should be of size that will permit irn-
mediate unloading Of freight cars.

Boston. July 19.-Warning against the
habit of the average mind in this
country to think that fires are newt
able" is sounded In the annual; report
Of Insurance Commissioner Frank H.
Hardison made public today. The re-
port urges compulsory measures for IRE
prevention "as far as public opinion will
permit" and the education of the rising
generation to an application of the trk
mendous annual loss from preventable
fires.
"One feature Of compulsion." says the
report, should be the fixing by law Of
the responsibility for a fire which is
preventable and the holding Of the care
less and indifferent to make good what
his fault has caused to be lost"
