Appeal to Busy Bees.

Omaha, Neb. Red Side. .
The Boy Scouts do many acts of
goodness and kindness, mostly away
from home, SO let the Busy Bees, both
girls and boys, do acts OF goodness
and kindness in the home.
Here is one great way to help when
everything costs so much:
You know that children must be
fed and clothed and we also know
food and clothes cost money, and a
great deal of money now.
Everyone of us can help our par
ents by taking better care OF our
clothing, by playing such games that
do not cause too much wear on our
shoes and clothes, and by being care
full not TO soil or tear them by play
ing rough or dirty games.
Your parents will always give you
enough to eat, but when everything
costs SO much you may not get what
you like best for every meal, so you
must be good and not complain, be-
cause it would make your papa and
mamma feel very badly. You know
they love you, and are doing all they
possibly can to give you what you
wish.
1t is from hearing my papa and
mamma talk that know these things
and hope that every little girl and
boy will help, as my sister, little
brother and | are trying to do.

Spring will soon be here. The sun
shine floods hill and dale with its
cheerful rays.
The robin is usually the first bird
to come from the sunny south, but
many robins stay here all winter. |
have seen six robins and have heard
the merry "cheer-up," "cheer-up" of
many others.
l have noticed that the sap of the
maple trees is dripping and that is
good sign that spring is near. The
blades of grass are turning green and
tulips can be seen above the ground.
The buds on the trees are swelling
and soon wifi burst.
The children are flying kites and
roller skating, and these are early
spring sports, Everybody, or at least
most people, love the happy spring.

Spring.

By Glee Gardner, Aged IA Years, ZOOS
North Sixty-second Street, Ben
son, Neb. Blue Side.
Haye you noticed that inside the
gray-green buds on the trees there are
tiny green leaves? Do you know what
that is a sign of?
In the morning when you wake up
the air is crisp and cool and the bril-
liant sun is shining.
People usually look rather de-
pressed in spirit in winter, but now
everyone seems rather joyful and glad,
because, you see, spring is coming.
The snow birds have already flown
north and last Wednesday l heard
lark.
The stray dogs and cats look fatter
than before, because when spring
comes there is always plenty for them
to eat.
Most pupils feel rather spry and
glad. Don't you?
Soon summer will be here and some
of us will go away for our vacations,
but just now what we are looking for
ward to is spring.

Most little chaps would sympathlze
with "feller" that didn't have big
yard and lots OF other little boys IN
the neighborhood TO play with, but
had to amuse himself among a lot OF
grown-ups in a big hotel. Glenwood
Walden and James Stanley Lloyd and
little Roland Burbank, who live at
the Fontenelle, don't mind it a bit,
however. They manage to have
great time anyway and are ever SO in
tc.ested in all the great and small hap
penings at the big hotel, The new
ness of things hasn't worn off yet
for Glcnwood and James, who are
only 9 and 7 years old and have just
moved here from Spokane. Their
parents haven't decided which school
the boys will go TO yet, so they are
having a good time in the interim.
Roland wainwright Burbank is a sort
of mascot for the fine new hotel, since
he has made his home there almost
since its opening. His father, the
late w. X. Burbank, was the first
manager of the Fontenelle.

and clans fish bait) as though they
were precious stones. He knows the
names of the different fish at sight.
We had some excitement on our
way home. We were riding so
smoothly and peacefully on the ferry
boat that takes us from Coronado to
San Diego, when suddenly there was
heard dreadful splash and scream
ing. | was sure submarine had
struck our boat and my first thought
was for life preserver. Everybody
ran to the railing and looked over,
and what do you suppose had hap
pened? A woman driver of an auto
mobile crashed through the chains
which are supposed to protect pas
sengers and automobiles on the ferry,
and hurled into the waters of the bay.
The parties were soon rescued, but the
automobile went down out of sight.
They say accidents of this kind are
not rare on the ferry. as they are
caused by pulling the wrong lever.
