during the Christmas season, when
holly wreaths are much in demand

Selling holly wreaths is Jacks spe-
cialty and his business is conducted
on no small scale, either. In fact,
Jack is $25 ahead on this years BUSH
ness. I
Here is the history of the Jack Coad
Holly Wreath company as outlined
by the founder himself:
an 1918 another boy and started
to sell holly wreaths. That year we
sold about eight dozen, but we made
them. The next year bought and
sold them by myself l have done
the same ever since, only ! have sold
more each year. In 1916 ] sold about
fourteen dozen. started to get my
orders about Thanksgiving and

Winter in Benson.

By Glee Gardener, Age Ia, ZOOS North
Sixty-second ST., Benson, Neb.
Blue Side.
When the snow falls and the air is
sharp and bracing, that is the time
you begin to see things move in Ben
son. The little ones go coasting down
the hills, lickity-split. Sometimes a
whole afternoon goes by without hay-
ing one of US hurt, but most of the
time scream viii rcnd the air and
we find some little child with a
skinned nose or a hurt toe.
When the nights are clear and crisp
some Of the big boys get their trav-
elers out and we get big crowd.
OH then you see the fun!
But our real sport | have not yet
dwelt upon. This is ice skating. Most
every afternoon the lake is swarming
with boys and girls seeking the
healthy outdoor sport. There are
some fine skaters, but it is almost
pitiful to sec the efforts Of the chill
dren whose ankles are weak. Some
Of us indulge in the rougher sports,
such as tag, and shiny on ice. OF
course, / don't mean the girls do, it
is only the boys.
Playing hockey is lots of fun, too,
so while the older people enjoy their
firesides the young seek the beauti-
full things which nature offers them
IN winter.
