Mary and Jean.

Mary and Jean were out in the
yard playing in the sand one, day.
Jean said, There is not enough
sand here, let us go to the river
and play"
"All right, answered Mary, you
take the bucket and I'll take the
spade and we'll stay until noon
After they had been there while
they began to dig, and finally they
struck something.
Look, Jean, said Mary, l have
found an old trunk that / BELIEVE
was buried by the Spanish"
LET us look into It," said Jean.
They opened the trunk and found
a great deal of gold. They put the
lid on the trunk.
IL will watch the trunk while you
tell mother and Rob-" said Mary.
When their mother and Rob got
there Rob said that ii was real gold.
They took it home and lived happy
ever afterwards.-Edna Bernice

How to Save on Christmas

We should save more this Christ
mas that we ever have. We are
going to have a harder Christmas
than we have ever had.
We should save our money and
give 1t to the Red Cross SO that
they can send 1t to the French chill
dren. The French children may
not get anything for Christmas.
Some people do not think about
the war orphans. They think only
of getting things for themselves
and for the people they like.
We should not buy such foolish
presents for Christmas. We should
buy useful things.
This Christmas people will not
have as much to eat as they have
had on other Christmases. We
should not have as much candy be
cause we need the sugar-Margaret
Gable, Baxter School.

TO SAVE MORE FOOD

To save more food we should not
waste any. II you would stop and
think about the people in Belgium,
Russia, Montrenego starving. then
why should you waste food: Just
think what some of the soldiers
have TO eat or starve and what they
get to eat or starve and what they
get to eat is not fit for a dog. Many
little babies in Europe today are
crying for milk. And before the
war is over many little babies right
here in the United States may be
crying for milk.

LUCY'S CHRISTMAS

Once upon a time there was a
little girl whose name was Lucy.
Lucy's father was dead so her
mother had to work very hard.
Lucy stayed at home and took care
of her little brother, his name was
Loren. 1t was about one week till
Christmas and one day her mother
sent her to town-to buy loaf of
bread and a pint of milk for sup
per.
While she was walking along the
street she saw a very large doll
and wagon. She said to herself,
%, If mother could only buy those
for brother and me wouldn't we be
happy"
When she got home she told her
mother what she had seen, her
mother told her that they we're
too poor TO buy toys.
The week had slipped away very
fast. 1t was now Christmas eve.
That night when Lucy went to bed
she dreamed of the beautiful toys
Now 1t happened that Lucy's
mother worked for a good farmer
and he had heard what Lucy had
told her mother. He went up town
and bought large Christmas tree,
he also bought the doll and wagon.
The next morning when the chill
dren got up they found their toys.
They thanked the farmer for his
kindness and they we're very
happy.-Bertha White, A Grade,

Ruth's and Richards
Christmas.

Once upon a time there were two
very poor children who lived with
their mother. Their father was
dead. Their names were Ruth and
Richard.
The day before Christmas their
mother told them she could not
afford to buy anything for Christ
mas dinner.
The children cried but crying did
no good so they dried their eyes
and went for a walk in the wood.
They met a fairy. She said that
she would grant them two wishes.
They wished for a nice Christmas
dinner and some nice clothes.
They went home and went to bed.
Next morning they found many
beautiful clothes on the bed. On
the table they found fine big din
ner. They were very glad-Janet

No Slackers in
Richard Yates School

According to Miss Minnie Hof,
teacher in the Richard Yates
School, Chicago, there is not dis
loyal child who is foreign born. In
proof of this Miss Hof passes along
some essays on What can / do to
win the war;" In these essays they
all said that they were proud Of
the American soldiers, we're saving
tin foil for the Red Cross, many
had bought Liberty bonds, and
many thought that when they were
old enough they would become Red
Cross nurses. One boy, Kenneth
Borroughs, ten years old, wrote the

suspected of thinking Old Mother Ma

l certainly am ashamed of you. You
know just as well as l do that she
never gives thing to any one unless
it is really needed. She has given
Jumper the Hare a white coat in win

he would have nothing but those long
legs of his to get him out of danger.

Coyote and some of his other enemies
can run quite as far as he can. Now
you are SO small that you can slip
into all sorts OF places. hollow logs,

safety that Jumper cannot possibly get
into. And here you are moping about
filled with envy because Jumper has
something you haven't and don't need.
Shame on you. Peter, Shame on you."
Peter hung his head. Suddenly he
saw the truth. He saw that what Jim
my Skunk had said was so. He had
no real need OF white coat, while
Jumper had. He lifted his head and
looked Jimmy skunk straight in the
face.
Jimmy said he. TN beat you
across to the Green Forest, and on the
way We'll forget that there ever was

PRESIDENTS ORDER NEEDED.
Affects Reinstatement to Civil Work
After Military Service.

An executive order by the President
of the United States is necessary for
reinstatement to government service
after discharge from military service.
according to a ruling of Controller of
the Treasury w. w. Warwick.
This question was raised by the Sec
rotary of the Department of Commerce,
after three employees of the coast, and
geodetic survey, Messrs. Mcclure, Nc
Farland and Hagar. had left that serv-
ice for military duty, but were dis
charged. William V. Hagar. one of
the men. was reinstated by an execu-

Controller Warwick also rules that
restoration to duty provides for pay
in their old positions only for a period
subsequent to that for which they re-
ceived military pay.

The more Peter Rabbit brooded over
his lack of a white coat in winter like
that of his cousin, Jumper the Hare.
the more convinced he became that
| Old Mother Nature was not fair Little
Mrs. Peter was shocked-yes. sir. she
was shocked-when Peter called old
Mother Nature unfair for little Mrs.
Peter. like all the other Quaddies, be-
lieved that Old Mother Nature gives
to each that which is best for them.
| So little Mrs. Peter was quite upset
and begged Peter not to say such a
thing when others were about. Peter
just grumbIed and wouldn't make any
promises.
| So Peter made things very uncom-
| Portable in the dear Old Brier Patch
where usually there is such an air of
comfort and happiness. He quite dis
gusted little Mrs. Peter as he brooded
and brooded over something which all

| One morning Jimmy skunk happened
along. OF course. he saw right away
that something was wrong with Peter.

One may be elaborate if she has lots
of hair. One way is to comb the hair
back and upward, piling it in a soft
mound at the top of the head, leaving
a loose lock about each ear. The de-
sire to appear demure often leads to
things like this: First, divide the hair
at the back, and then wrap each side
around the head. the only break in the
smoothness being a slight puff over
each ear. When ones hair goes up for
the first time a cunning and suitable
thing to do is to wind two long, shiny
plaits around the head and fasten them
with twisted shell pins.

coiffures these days. and with the ex-

cent was a spectacular success, be-
ing over subscribed more than seven
times.
The history OF war financing In the
United States attests tho correctness
OF the present government policy Of
issuing bonds TO meet war expenses
and levying taxation sufficient to
meet the newly created interest char
yes and an additional sum for amor
tlzation. The bonds acknowledge a
government obligation that will draw
interest and will be repaid. The tax
program eliminates the tendency to-
ward harmful price imitation
A vigorous tax policy should always
supplement borrowing for war pur-
poses. Taxes. except tariff taxes, are
levied against property and income.
The government which demands the
lives and services OF its men at the
front surely has a better right 10 de-
msnd those lesser things-property
and income. Paying all OF a wars eX-
pense by borrowing puts off the day
OF reckoning until after the war Is

offered their lives and their labor TO
pay off the debt after they 90 home.
The magnificent manner IN which
the United States has reacted from
perlods OF financial depression, pro-
duced BY war. constitutes powerful
proof of its material resOurcefuiness
and It's constructive genius. From
every trial it has emerged stronger
than before. lt has been tempered in
the furnace.

the crossing OF swords with the giant
OF Europe will furnish the inspiration

W. C. T. U.

An informal meeting was held yes terday afternoon with Mrs. John M. Putnam. The threatening weather of the morning made it necessary, as thought by the officers, to postpone the time of paying dues until the next meeting, July 18th.
 We shall look for every member at that time and also friends who want to lend a hand to help make this na- tion "dry" We promise a good pro- gram and other things of interest.
 The Union decided to take up some lines of work for soldiers and sailors, and appointed Mrs. Sam o. Logan as local superintendent. Mrs. Logan will confer with Mrs. C. w. Roberts, state superintendent. The Womans Chris ton Temperance Union has carried the department since 1883, and the amount of work done for our soldiers and sailors has been incalculable. The fund for the w. C. T. U. ambulance to be sent to France flying our em- blem along with our Stars and Stripes grew to S20.00.
 Who else would like to donate? It would be fine to raise it to $25.00. We await contributions.-Secretary.
