THE REST OF THE
CAMPING TRIP
fBy Grace Simcoke)

tBy Grace Simcoke)
That night they went to bed at 7
O'Clock. The next morning they
started On a hike. They walked
about a half mile and there at the
side of the road were some gypsies
camping.
At first they were afraid almost
to pass the camp but one of the
gypsies came over to them and ask
ed them to have some of the good
dinner which they were cooking. A
kettle was suspended from a tripod
under which was blazing fire and
something which smelled liked
good stewed chicken was cooking.
The dinner was SO good and they
felt much rested. The children
were SO full after dinner that they
had to run around awhile and the
exercise was such fun. Then they
started home as they wanted to get
there befor dark.

EAT CORN MUFFINS
YOU BOY SCOUTS

A scout who eats corn muffin
for breakfast instead of slice of
wheat bread may have no idea Of
performing patriotic duty, but up
on just such small choices depends
the success of the United States in
the present struggle.
The President long ago recogniz-
ed the necessity Of producing the
maximum of food, utilizing all Of it
to the best advantage and prevent
ing waste. For this purpose he ap-
pointed Mr.. Herbert Hoover as
American Food Administrator. Mr..
Hoover announced, as the five car
dinal principles in food admins
tration, the following five cardinal
principles:
First. That the food problem is
one of wise administration and not
expressed by. the words dictator"
or controller" but through the CO
ordination and regulation of legi-
innate distributive agencies of the
producers, distributors, and con-
SumerS.
Second. The organization of the
community for voluntary conserve
ion of fOodstuffs.
Fourth. That all important po-
sitons, as far as may be, shall be
filled with volunteers.
Fifth. The independent respon-
sibility of the food administration
directly under the president, with
the cooperation of the great and
admirable organization of the De-
partment Of Commerce, the Fed
eral Trade Commission. and the
railway executivea

ARE YOU SAVING
FOOD For SOMEONE

Now since everything We have
to eat costs so much money and
since so many folks are having to
do without things we who have SO
much ought to try and save every
mouthful we cant cot for someone
else. Now | mean by this don't fill
your plates too full SO that you are
not able TO eat all that is served
you. You know sometimes grown
folks as we'll as children have eyes
too large for their stomachs and
they fill their plates so full that
they cant eat it all and of course
what's left is wasted and besides it
makes a lot of trouble for the cook
when she clears away the dishes.
So you see it would be better to
take little at time eat that and
then have another helping"
just because father and mother
have a garden isn't any reason at
all for waste. Any one who finds
food going to waste ought to gather
it up and take it to some one who
really needs it, 1t is easy to find
a needy family these days if you
boys and girls keep your eyes open
We must make fight against
our worst enemies-selfishn in.

THE WISE HORSE
(By Grace L.. Baker, age y
DaVall SChOOl.)


This is true story about horse
named Solomon. His master nam
ed him Solomon because he was SO
wise.
One day blacksmith put new
shoe on one of Solomon's feet.
A few days after this Solomon
was turned into a field to Craze. A
boy soon came running to tell the
master some one had stolen the
horse.
why do you think SOP" asked
the master.
The gate has been taken down
and left on the ground and the
horse is gone"
Maybe old Sol did it himself. If
we can find the print of his teeth
ON the gate we will know whether
he did it himself or not"
So they went to the gate and
there ON the top was print of the
horses teeth.
While they were looking at the
gate the blacksmith came along.
Have you seen anything of old
Sol, today" they asked the smithy.
Yes, old Sol has just left my
shop. He told me ! did some pref
ty poor work when l put that shoe
on him"
What do you mean" How
could he tell you such thing?"
This morning he came TO my
shop and held up the foot on which
l had put the shoe. He looked at
me as much as to say, See this
shoe you put on me. 1t hurts me.
Take it off and put on one that will
not hurt"
/ looked at the foot and saw that
/ had put the shoe on wrong.
Sol stood still while | took it off
and put on one that would not hurt
him. When was through he gave
me a cheerful neigh and trotted
home"
The master went back to the field
and found old Sol quietly eating
clover.

AT NEW YORK SHOW

One of the things that was rath-
er pleasing in going about the out
door shows held recently in New
York was to watch the children
who were Interested in dogs. There
was seldom a show that there were
not half a dozen youngsters with
their pets on leash. Most of them
had a failing for the toy dogs but
there were many who had pets as
large as themselves. At the Ged-
ney farms show one of the biggest
turnouts Of youngsters that has
been seen for long time competed
for the prize in the children's class.
There were fully a dozen in the
ring at the same time. At most
shows in the past the children S
class has been sort Of compli-
mentary event and there were sell
dom more than one or two. The
Riddles, though, who have been
brought up in the atmosphere of
the kennel have learned to love the
dogsa nd they have no fear Of
them.
Some Of the ugliest looking speci-
mems are pulled around on leash
by little tots who swat them at
leisure without any remonstrance,
but let an outsider try to modest
the child and there is a different
tale.

TRAVELS BY SLEDGE

NEW YORE-Dr. Harrison j.
Hunt, surgeon Of the Crocker land
expedition, has arrived in New
York He has reported the story Of
his perilious journey by sledge over
the young ice of Melville bay far in
the Arctic zone, to Professor Henry
Fairfield Osborn, president of the
American Museum of Natural His
tory.
He said that the other members
of the Croker land expedition were
in excellent health when he left
them, but that, owing to their sup
plies being very low, it was impera-
tive that relief be sent to them at
once.
DR.. Hunt left North Star bay on
December Is, 1916. He was accom-
panied by another member of the
party, w. Elmer Ekblaw. DR.. Hunt
says:
"The steamship Denmark, which
had been sent by the committee in
charge, was at North Star bay when
/ began my journey south. Donald
B. Macmillan, leader of the expe-
dition; Professor Edmund Otis
Hovey, and Jonathan Small, anoth-
err members of the party, were at
Etah. Their supplies will last until
about August 1, and the members
will then be depedent upon what
walrus sand caribou meat they can
obtain at Etah. They might also
get elder duck eggs They have
very little coffee. Sugar and can
ned fruits and flour was being ra-
toned out They may get some
supplies from the Denmark by
sledging $50 miles to her. That
vessel is in about six feet of ice, and
possibly she will be freed about
August l. She has stores, but is
short of coal.
Il was glad to hear on my arrival
here that the committee had al
ready arranged to send the Nep-
tune. Such a help Is urgently need
ed. Another year in the arctic
would prove a great hardship to the
members Of the expedition and
might result in fatality"
DR.. Hunt and Mr.. Ekblaw left
North Star bay with six sledges,
and were accompanied by five Eskt
mos. There was deep snow, and
the weather was generally bad.
When they got out on the ice of
Melville bay they found that the

winter had been comparatively
open, and that the ice, which was
three inches in thickness and very
porous, was continually bending be-
meath them. The long sledge jour-
ney of 1,400 miles, which took from
December Is, 1915, until April 16
of this year, was attended by many
perils. The sledges were not con-
nected by ropes, but every man on
sledge had near him a coil OF rope
which he could throw for assistance
in case the ice gave way.
Knud Rasmussen, the Danish ex-
plorer, who went part of the way
with the scientists, and the old Els
kimos said that the conditions for
sledging were the worst they had
ever seen. Although there were
many narrow escapes, only one
sledge was thrown in the water.
The Eskimo who was driving it
was rescued and 1t was recovered.
The supplies ran very low toward
the end of the journey and five of
the dogs died Or starvation, owing
to the shortness of the rations.
Meat was obtained from Eskimo
caches. At night the party campe1

panied only by an Eskimo, as Mr..

sands of boys and girls clubs, or
ganized by and working under the

management, baking, cooking, the
| arrangement of preserved foods in
to balanced menus for the family
and garment making The boys

| strate work with farm animals and
! how to raise crops.

ing chosen through a series Of con
tests which are being held In the
schools, at community fairs and
picnic and other public gatherings
throughout. the country. The win
ners will be sent to the food train
ing camp as the government repre-
| sentatiyes.
