We cant go into this war with velvet gloves. We have got to have this bill"
 Germany is from 100 to 200 years behind the times in liberty and dem ocracy. MT. Gerard asserted. There may be riots there" he said. but there will be no revolution"
 To a certain extent, the former am- bassador asserted. the entrance of the United States into the war due to misrepresentation of American senti- ment in Germany and German senti- ment in America by American news paper men of pro-German sympathies who were stationed in Berlin. He paid high tribute. however. to Sey- mour B. Conger. of the Associated Press and Carl w. Alderman. They were true Americans, he said.
 "The worst enemies in this cOun- try today" MT Gerard declared. ''are the insidious enemies here at home who misrepresent facts"
 Mir. Gerard arraigned Speaker Champ Clark for his advocacy of the volunteer system. He said he had sup ported Mir Clark in his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomina- tion in 1911.
 But thank heaven" he exclaimed, some benificent Providence which keeps the American people from put ting forward their near-statesmen, in tervened."
 Referring to Germany's military am bitions before the war. MT. Gerard said Admiral von Tirpitz had openly advocated the seizure of the coast Of Flanders as base for operations against England and the vCn Tirpitz party now is in the ascendency. he said. Germans of all types, MT. Ger ard explained, advocated bringing England to her knees. seizing her na " and using British warships to op- crate against the United States, there by forcing this country to pay all the expense of the conflict.

MABEL AND THE LIZARD

One day little Mabel went to the
woods. As she WAS walking along,
she heard a little noise under a.
stone. At first she did not know
what it was or where 1t came FROM,
Then all at once she heard it say.
Look out, you're almost stepping
on me. I'm just in front OF your
right foot"
Mabel lifted the stone and under
ii she saw a lizard. :,
The lizard said, Now little girl,
you have saved my life and I'm go
ing to do something for you if you
can learn this call" The lizard
told Mabel II she met any wild ami
mails to whistle the cali and they
would be her best friends.
Mabel turned to thank the lizard
but 1t had crawled up a tree and
gone In hole.
On her way home, Mabel met
wolf and he was Just gong to eat
her when she whistled tn" call. The
wolf came and licked her hand and
he went all the way home with her
so no one would hurt her. .--..
One day Mabel went to visit her
uncle on the farm. He had bought
new saddle horse but could not
get the bit in it's mouth. Mabeps
uncle said that any one who could
get the bit in the horses mouth
could have him. Mabel said, Let
me try" :..
Her uncle did not want her to
try but she begged and begged till
at last her uncle said she might try.
Mabel took the harness and went
out in the field and whistled the
call. Then she put the bit in the
horses mouth and rode back to the
place where her uncle was stand
ing. So Mabel gat the horse, and
she had many fine rides and moth
ing ever hurt her so she lived hap

THE STORY on SAVING

We Americans must save our
food and sugar more. We waste
our food more than any other
States. The Allies need the sugar
more than we do. And the poor lit
tie French children are starving
for want Of food. IL yOn would go
where the French are, you would
see the little children sitting in
the cutters. And you would go the
next morning and find that they
were dead for want of food. Wed
nesday evening | was looking at
the paper and / saw that Germany
thought she was better and the
war was going to stop the first OF
November. The French may get
something to eat and they would
be strong again. The war Is an
awful thing, it makes the food high
err. Now If there are six people in
one OF the families. a half-pound
of sugar would not go around to
them all. Not only if they take a
little pinch and maybe not then.
But if there are but three in the
families it may go around once and
that is all. So you see that hard
times especially when this war Is
going on. The United States Is not
starvinl enot even the poor people
are. We must save our food more
and | want all the boys and girls
to save too.--Gladys Johnson, "A
garde, Hibberd School. Age IL

THANKSGIVING DAY

IT'S not the feast so richly spread,
And not the words we say,
It's not the greeting nor the song
That makes Thanksgiving day.

To take and keep always:
TWO helpful hands and one glad
heart
Will make Thanksgiving day!

liam Campfield and belong to it,
and we would like to have two
more boys. We took a hike over
to our farm, last Friday, and we
had-some time. A man picked us
up on his wagon and took us half
way. Then we had a picnic and
went to Cedar Springs, and there
we waited for the interurban. 1t
was so cold that we played follow
the leader and did all sorts Of silly
stuff to keep warm. And then we
discovered an echo SO we played
with that for about an hour. But
at last the interurban came and
took us to Westville, where we
had to change cars and the other
car was late, so finally one OF our
friends came and took us home.
We started at five minutes after
two, and got home at quarter after
six. II was five and one-half miles
out, and that coming back and SO
we went eleven miles altogether

The Fairy Queens Party


Once upon time there was lit
tie girl whose name was Helen.
Helen had blue eyes, yellow hair
and was as fair as lily.
One day Helen was walking
along when all at once she heard
a little voice say, Don't step on
my house." So Helen walked
around the road and turned around
to see who had spoken to her
There stood a fairy in gold.
She asked Helen to stop and play
with her. So Helen stopped to
play. They played long time and
then they started to go in the
house but Helen could not get in
because she was too large.
The fairy made Helen as small
as herself, SO they both went in
and found that the queen was hav-
ing party. Helen stayed until the
party was over and Helen and the
Fairy Queen were great friends
ever after.-Lucile Leonard, Warn
er school.

There she saw a little light in a
little hut near high hill and she
ran to it.
The little girl walked In and she

CAMP FIRE GIRLS DO
4 PATRIOTIC SERVICE,

To show what the Camp Fire
Girls OE America are doing to help
our country In this time Of war and
great need for patriotic service, the
Camp Fire Girls headquarters
have taken the years reports from
all OF the camps from all over the
country and by adding together
the exact number or girls in each
group who took part in the differ
emit types of work have been able
to send out the general reports.
1t truly is surprising I'd see how
much they have done. and the gen
eral public soon will begin to feel
that the Camp Fire Girls are doing
az great and important q work as
the Boy Scouts.
The report from the headquar-
teYs, follows:
The number of Camp Fire Girls
who are carrying out Mr.. Hooyer's
program for saving food and pre-
venting waste in the home is 6S,-
474.
The number OF Camp Fire Girls
who planted and cultivated gardens
this summer was 70,448.
There were 1880 Camp Fire
Girls caring for children, thus re-
lieving their mothers and older
women for Red Cross and other
work.
The number of Camp Fire Girls
who themselves contributed money
and made articles for the Red
Cross was $3.50.
The Camp Fire Girls who carried
out the rigorous health program OF
walking 1G6 miles month, keeping
clean inside and outside. getting
nine hours sleep at night, and the
rest was 58,558.
This makes a total of 31S,526
girls who were doing their bit In
various ways; about three times
the total membership, so that each
Camp Fire Girl must have been do
ing at least three Of these things.
President Wilson and ex-Presi
dent Taft are honorary president
and ce.president of this organiza-
ton
Its magazine "Wohelo" (the first
three syllables of the words work
health" and 'love') has been con-
verified into service bulletin" to
help the government In food con-
servation, crop preservation and all
that 1t attempts.
The girls of this organization dis
tributed Food Pledges and Window
Display cards at the request OF MIR.
Hoover, and checked up the homes
not displaying cards.
AT the request of Mr.. Davidson
Of the National Red Cross they
have built up local chapters, raised
money for Red Cross work, and as
sisted in making comfort kits Tor
the soldiers. /.
At the request OF Mr.. Benson OF
the States Relations Service OF the
Department Of Agriculture, they
nave distributed Food Thrift Bulle-
tins direct to the homes, distributed
Food Thrift Posters to stores and
public places, and used "Wohelo'
as q service magazine looking to-
ward the conservation of food and
waste prevention.
AT the request OF the Woman's
Committee Of the Council of Ma
ional Defense they have been en-
rolling all girls over sixteen In the
food saving campaign.
The Commission on Military
Training Camps have asked them
10 assist in, the organization Of the
social forces Of towns adjacent to
the camps, and this is being done.
Finally, Miss Lathrop OF the
Chiidrer's Bureau Of the Depart
ment OF Labor has asked them TO
cooperate in caring for the chill
iren OF the nation, and 1880 Camp
Fire Girls responded.
Who shall say that they are not
doing their part?
