A FARMLAND BALL.

The pine trees were singing songs
to the fairies. and the fairies one by
one were going to sleep. The big
moon came out, smiled as he saw the
fairies sleeping and whispered to the
pine. trees: rs Fairyland going to be
very quiet tonight?"
NO." the pine trees whispered, just
20 they could be heard and SO as not
to awaken the fairies. "there is going
to be ball.
"Are the sleeping fairies going to
awaken?" asked the moon.
NO, my dear MOON" said the pine
trees, "these fairies are the daytime
fairies-the ones whose dresses are
like. the sun, only more dazzling so that
people can't see them. They will sleep
30 soundly though that they will not
awaken-and, too. the ball is being
given In yOnder glade"
Are there other fairies coming to
the ball?" asked the moon.
'The night fairies are coming-and
hush-here come the fairies of twi-
light. headed by Fairy Twilight Bell"
said the pine tees.
Along through the woods came count.
less little fairies dressed in wonderful
dresses Of dark blue and purple. They
wore silver crowns and they carried
wands of silver. with silver stars which
dropped on the messy ground.
"Hello. pine trees" called Fairy
Twilight-Bell. Il see the day fairies
have gone to Sunderland"
Now the fairies of the twilight come
out just after Mr.. Sun has gone to
bed and at the hour Of day which peo-
pie call twilight. Fairy Twilight-Bell
was named because the twilight fairies
voted for her as their queen. Her
voice always sounded like a beauti-
full silver bell and so they named her
Twilight-Bell.
The moon was so glad he had de-
cided to get up early. II just love a
party" he said, grinning. ''There is
nothing I like so much. And ! hope
you'll choose hide-and-go-seek as one
Of your games before you begin the
dancing"
I'VE win. Mr.. Moon," the twilight
fairies shouted. and from away in
the woods an echo sounded:
I'VE win, Mr.. Moon" But it was
really not an echo at all. The sound
came from the voices of the night fair
les who were just hurrying along
to the ball. They wore gowns of very
dark purple with wonderful star
shaped sashes and crowns and wands.
They came along singing:
Were here, we're here,
Lets be of good cheer,
"And dance and play
.An the night away.
Mr. Moon will beam, and the Pine
Trees will sing,
Let the joy-bells Of Fairyland. Hap
pyland. ring!''
The pine trees joined in the singing
and Mr.. Moon beamed. For they did
as he had hoped and played hide-and-
go-seek with him behind the pine trees.

Billy Jones

Billy Jones-maybe your son or the
son Of a neighbor-was in the front
line trenches in France when the Ger.
man bombing party was driven back.
His enthusiasm to get the Boches car.
ried him over the top of the trench,
and at the edge of No Mans Land q
Hun bullet got him.
A comrade-maybe your boy-crawl-
ed out into No Mans Land and brought
Billy Jones back to the American
trenches.
Other comrades carried him back
through the maze of trenches to q
dressing station, where his wound was
cared for.
A medical department ambulance
carried him on to the field hospital.
From there Billy Jones was taken to
the base hospital, and there a Red
Gross nurse-your Red Cross nurse
10 tenderly, carefully, smilingly nursing
him back to health again so that he
may not have to pay the extreme sac
rifice that we-that you and l and our
neighbors-may enjoy the blessings Of
freedom.
There are half a million Of these
boys of ours in France today and
more going lover there" every week.
They are there to wage the supreme
conflict Of the world with the brutal
forces Of autocracy that democracy

We want these boys Of ours to come
back to US, and it is the Red Cross men
and women-our Red Cross men and
women-who will bring thousands Of
them back who would not otherwise
come If our dollars will but keep them
there to minister to these boys of ours.
They are but doing for us what We
cannot do for ourselves

Eastern Folklore Character

A character in folklore with whom
the Occidental world has only slightly
familiarized itself is Nasr-ed-din-
Hodja, the Turkish Till Eulenspiegel.
Lineally the Hodja, holy man, as he is
known, draws his descent from Aesop;
but during the course of centuries his
nature became somewhat changed.
From the wise man he was transform

fool, who, in spite of his folly, has
certain very winning traits. AS rule,
however, poor Nasr-ed-din gets the
worst of every deal he Is mixed up in,
as has his unfortunate and muddling
race. Only every now and then does

GERMANY IS FACING
WORST FOOD Cn|sIS
Further Reductions Of Ratiuns
VIII be Necessary.

Washington, May 22.-The food sit
uation in Germany, officials in Wash
tngton believe, is the most critical
1t has been at any time.
Information reaching WASHINGTON
from many sources indicates even with
the reduced ration planned for June
10 the country will not have enough
food to carry the population through
to the next harvest. Further reduc-
tions will have to be made.
The reduced ration was to have
been put into operation March /. The
measure was postponed In the hope
grain would be forthcoming from Uk-
raine. When this vanished, the re-
duction was inevitable.
Germany began consuming her 1917
wheat crop two months before it was
intended to start on it. The potato
crop has not turned out nearly so well
az the German agricultural interests
had hoped.

Anil Mr.. Moon chuckied TO himself
and said: "C"rtain!y fairyland is not
qaat tonight. The pine trees were
ri@ht. It's hall. n real ball, and
what is more, its a real fairyland
hall-the best kind in the world"
And as Mr.. Moon smiled and grin
ned and talked all the time of how
happy he was, the shadows, moon-
beams and fairies kept on dane
ing.
1t seemed as if they would never
grow tired, but at last the night SEEM
ed to become less dark, and the early
gray dawn began TO appear.
Hurry. hurry" said the fairies,
I'VE must leave for we are the night
fairies, and the dawn fairies will
soon be here. This is their time and
we have had ours"
So the night fairies left and the
dawn fairies came, but as Mr.. Moon
went to bed for the daytime he said:
IT was the best ball of the year."

"A successful local operation was

closed up and thirty prisoners and six
machine guns were captured by us.
"a hostile counter attack against

southeast of Arras and brought back

During the night the hostile artil-

about Hebuterne between the forest

than usual between the Scarpe river
and Hill 70, north of Lens. The gas

The opposing forces northwest of
Aveluy wood above Albert have con-
tinued to exchange blows in conten-

Germans rushed some posts there and
obtained footing at a few places.
They have been driven out again en-

Latest reports concerning the fight

| unwounded prisoners were taken and
| that the casualties of the attackers
were slight. In this drive the French
retook Bruloose and the now famous
