When morning came the three ac-

castle and proved before the wicked
Queen Vanity and her counsel who the
rightful queen was.
Then Queen Vanity was taken to the
woods to be beheaded, but Just as thew

to rough bark and she raised her arms
in pleading to the gods she had been

After all these things had happened
Gandora WIS put upon the throne and
took up her abode In the castle. She

Dear Juniors:
AS we all are going to school we
write one about little boy. Once
there was a little boy who lived up by
the Rocky mountains. He went to
school every day, but had to walk every
step Of the way and that was two
miles. This little boys name was
Johnny and Johnny took his dog with
him every place he went.
Johnny's parents had taught the dog
to watch Johnny He was never afraid
, when his good dog Shep was with him
One snowy day the little boy and dog
set off for school. They got to school
very safe and sound and Johnny and
Shep ate their dinner and Johnny felt
all right. The two played and romped.
That afternoon Johnny worked harder
than ever. When the bell rang for
school to dismiss Johnny felt very
sick. His head ached and he felt dizzy.
He told the teacher but she told him
that he would feel all right and for him
to hurry home for 1t was four o'clock
and 1t would get dark very soon and he
had two miles to walk. They passed by
the Rocky mountain train tracks and
they heard a train coming.
Hurry up" said Johnny to Shep,
I'VE must cross before the train comes
around the curve. for I hear 1t closer
and closer" But just as he said it he
stumbled and fell. Johnny caught his
foot in the track and could not get 1t
out The train was Just coming around
the curve and Shep started to bark.
Shep ran toward the train and the en-
gineer knew something was the trouble
or the dog would not act so queer. He
stopped the train and picked up the
boy and sent him towards home. Once
more the boy was so proud Of his dog
he gave him splendid supper.

Softly Kitty White arose. Softly she
stole from the room. No one saw hel

but mother said
She'll come back in the morning

However, Kitty White did not come

Again the trunks, the golf bags, the
tennis racquets, and luggage were car

,, in her neat travelling suit while father
helped the man with the bags. Quietly
the little master walked to the shed
A queer lump rose in his throat as he
picked up the basket to carry back to
the city. No Kitty White! No need
of comforting words or cheer! And
summer all gone!
Yet when the trip was over and
frankie rushed from room to room OF
his own dear home, things didn't look
quite so sad In truth they would have
been altogether perfect if only Kitty
White were purring round.
School began, and four weeks went
by. One morning as Della was taking
the milk bottles in she felt something
push past her into the house.
frankie thought he was dreaming,
although he was sitting in the middle
of the floor acing up his new school
shoes, for he heard, New, mew!'
The door pushed gently open, and in
crept {. thin, rather tired-looking Kitty
White. Straight to the arms of her
master she leaped. Such purring
song of joy you never heard!
How did you ever go all that long
distance the train went, Kitty White?
How did you ever cross the water
where the ferry boat carried us? How
did you ever find your way home
through the crowded, noisy city? Tell
me that. Kitty White!" cried her hap

A tear dimmed Kitty Whites blue

aged that long, long trip by land and
by sea. alone. She never told how
she decided to steal from the house
when these plans for returning in the
basket were talked of. Kitty White
nexer told, and unless you can tell us
how she managed it, l am afraid no
one will ever know the true story Of
Kitty White.

As the comfort kit contest does not
close until October 10, we will reprint
the rules again:
We have all been helping to fix up
some comfort kits for the soldier
boys. These kits are intended for their
Christmas gifts. Into them were put
the following articles: Soap in metal
or celluloid case small metal comb.
toothbrush in case. handkerchief. lead
pencil, game writing pad, envelopes.
tooth powder in tin container, small
steel mirror, sewing kit, shaving soap,
tobacco in pouch, pipe, foot powder,
wash cloth and name and address OF
honor.
While helping with this work the
thought came to us that perhaps some
Juniors would like to send Christmas
gift to his or her soldier brother
father. friend or cousin. Well, The
Courier Jr. will be glad to help with a
comfort kit, but the Juniors must do
the most work, you know. Our idea is
to offer a comfort kit" as prize for

Corn.

Dear Juniors:
In the early spring in the months Of
February and March the men begin to
clear off the ground if they have any
brush to cut or stalks of the last years
crop to harrow down, so as to get the
ground SO there isn't any rocks, brush
or corn stalks on 1t. Then they begin
to pillow it. After it is plowed and har-
rowed down they have corn planter
that plants two rows at time with
marker that marks off the next row so
as to get them the same distance apart.
After this is done they wait until the
corn comes up. If there is any missing
hills they have hand planter that
they replant the missing hills Of corn.
After the corn gets about six or eight
inches high they pillow 1t one way. then
the other, so ay to give it cultivation.
also to kill the weeds and grass. In
about three weeks it is plowed again.
II is plowed four or five times until 1t
gets too big to pillow. 1t is tender and
will break down easy. This is plowed
with a cultivator or double shovel.
Then it is laid by until 1t gets ripe.
Then about the last of September and
they gather the corn. They have a
wagon and two horses drive over the
first row and take two or three rows
Of corn out on the right hand side OF
the wagon until it is all gathered. After
this is done, they turn the stock in the
field so there will be no fodder or corn
go to waste. or II they don't want to
gather the cor nthey cut 1t about six
inches above the ground, put 1t in
shocks. shuck it when they need it to
use. This all ought to be done by the
31st of November
