The Little L.ad of Lonn Aao.
Norwich.


 Dear Uncle Jed: am going to tell you about The Little Lad of Long Ago, Little Abe hurried home as fast as his feet could carry him. In his hand he carried a book. He thought good deal of the book. No wonder he did; 1t was the best thing in the world to him. Every night he would climb up to the loft and read. Then he would put the book in one of the cracks and then would fall asleep. In the morning he would read until his father called him. @One night he put the book away as usual. In the nlorn- ing he put out his hand to get his book But what did he put his hand on? He put his hand on some snow. He took out his book which was all crumpled and soaked with snow. Poor little Abe didn't know what to do. There was q lump in Abe's throat for he would have to tell his neighbor his book was spoiled For he borrowed the book from his neighbor So he went to his neighbor and told him about the book. The man smiled and said: "Will you work to pay for the book r Abe said T will do anything to pay for the book. Then, Sir. will the booi be mine ?'
 .Tes,' he said, "the book will be yours"
 Little Abe gerked three days foi the book. How happy he was to havt a book.
 1 Many years after, when he wal president of United States he said tha hook The Life of Washington. helped me to become president.

Rice.

Rice is the main food resource of half the population of the world. Most of the people of India and of south east Asia and its islands make rice their chief food.
 This grain Is grown wholly in trop- icak or warm regions and its culture is confined to>a great many areas, most of which are small, though the aggre- gate acreage is even larger than that of wheat. The reason for this patchy distribution of rice is that it thrives where there is 8 great deal of water, with which the fields may be flooded by means of irrigation ditches.
 Its cultivation is therefore restricted to lowlands, river valleys and deltas, where the fields may be flooded. After the grain is thrashed it is called pad dy, being still enclosed in the inner husk. After the husk is removed by machinery the white grain is the rice of commerce.
 Our southern coastal plain, chiefly in Louisiana and Texas, produces about one-half of the rice we con- sume.
 Our rice growers are introducing better machinery for cultiyating. thrashing and grinding rice and are substituting the pump for natural ir- rigation. These improvements encour- age rice growing very much

WHO SENT IT?
BY E. BAXTER.

T hate brothers!" cried little Phoebe. angrily, glaring over her cocoacup with shining eyes and flushed cheeks at a boy of g. The boy was pulling out his mothers chair for her and sullenly avoiding his sisters look.
 Phoebe and Peter had quarreled se- riously that morning. The children often quarreled, although they really loved each other very much. A month before, Peter had sprained his ankle while skating and then Phoebe was the best little nurse that any sister could be; and when she went away tC see her grandmother, Peter could hardly wait for her return home. Now, however, as they sat at lunch con, they did not look as though they enjoyed being together. There was g pause.
 Phoebe turned away from Peter and said:
 "Mother. when is St. Valentines day this year,"
 Tt is always on the 14th: that vii be next Monday will it not?' answered her mother.
 Next Monday-and today is Wed | nesday! Oh, do hope I will get 2 real valentine this year!" cried little Phoebe, excitedly, q mean those thaf are made by some of the children wht paint or write, them all by themselves Perhaps I will get a real one thi! year."
 The quarrel between Peter ana Phoebe made the week miserable fo them both, Neither would speak un til the other had begged pardon. ant 1 both were too proud to admit bein, | in fault

THE WIDE AWAKE CIRCLE
BOYS AND GIRLS DEPARTMENT

valentine was the thorn in the flesh to those the boys disliked.
 When Uncle Jed was a kid there was always some cross old woman and aoidy old man the boys used to unite in sending irritating pictures and verses to. In these days 1t would be called a valentine shower. but then 1t was an assault and an insult, and we had to get around the corner and laugh when we met the victims of our 3uve- nile spite, who would have tongue lashed us had we shown signs of guilt.
 Uncle Jed notices that there has been, q great improvement made in valentines since he was . kid and also quite an improvement in the conduct oe children. It was really a shame and a sin to poster those cross and impatient men and women so and the lessening of this species of fun which to them were evidences of spite Is a blessed thing for all concerned.
 Columbus you know, never was dWdf0 Iudt IiC u0u uASCVVV1Su <AuiCI4Ccr and St. Valentine never knew at the time of his death that his name was to be borne down the ages as the pro- nnoter of a custom of which he knew nothing, and 1t isn't likely he ever saw a valentine,
 This pretty iove-message custom originated in Rome, where the birds were supposed to mate on Feb. 14th. and nature was just dawning into loveiiness and beauty; and St. valen- tine had the misfortune to be hehead- ed on this day 1900 years ago. The loveliness of his character was doubt less considered worthy of such me- morial-and his name will always be remembered because love cannot be forgotten.

Wash:naton and LineoIn

One Of the hardest questions in his- Lcry to be answered is 'eWho was the greatest, Washington or 1ncoln?"
 To me it seems that they are both equal. Washington fought for and made the UnioD, but what good would all hrs work do if Lincoln had not EaPeS thn union by the Civil war?
 Altkcngh Washington did not have az many men te fight in battle as Iin, coin, 1t was easier to get men to fight for their own freedom than to fight for the freedom Of others as Lincoin's men did ? !"
 In the line of knowledge and pros- perity' Lincoln had to struggle hard TOT his life. home and knowledge.
 Washington. born of a fanilv of high ability and riches, had far sur- passed poor Lincoln, who had to split rails for his daily bread and borrow books from which he got his under standing in law of the United States
 So the debate being settled, will close my story.

 Uncle Sarn's. boys in khaki were marching down the streets, through cheers and waving flags. They were on their way to an officers training camp. AS they disappeared Red Cross nurses who had been waving flags hurried past window where young girl stood.
 {, Jessie's longing to help her country as she looked after the soldiers and nurses brought a sob to her throat. Her family had decided that, she was too young to join, but all the rest of the family had joined.
 As she read the program for the afternoon 1t ran: Girls Patriotic so- eiety, song, poem, address, refresh ments, flag salute and, last of all, giv- ing out of face cloths, sweaters, wrist lets and scarfs to the soldiers. ! A second sob filled her throat. To think she could do nothing while these boys were about to give up their lives to their country, and very willingly Suddenly a smile spread over her face. What about comfort kits? Max ing comfort kits is a splendeA idea, she said to herself
 F Up she raced to the library and call ed up sixteen of her best friends When they, were all assembled they formed campfire. They secured q comfort pattern and all furnished wha, money they could. These kits are for the soldiers. They need them in camp Each kit contains a writing pad, pen cil, envelopes, postal cards. faicum, . sewing kit, tooth paste, pocket knife and leather boot laces.
 One of the merchants save them ter dollars, besides what they had. This was a good beginning. They will now work the rest of the winter and start camping when op. portunity comes.

 "My!n What vision!'' There stood his niece in a queer red dress with three rows of wide lace around her arm.l In her bosom were three real roses: a spray of bleeding hearts cov- cred the spot where her real heart was supposed to be. She held in her hand bunch of forget-me-nots and
 
 tied In true fove-knots. Placing the flowers on the table, stepping back, and taking tiny bow of silver wire which hung from her girdle, she aimed at Uncle Archie's heart. Turning around, she began to recite:
 Forget -me-nots and roses, too, And bleeding hearts for love of you, And to make sure I speed a dart, Twill surely pierce the hardest heart! Oh. will you take me and be mine, Today, to be your valentine?'' Uncle threw his head back and laughed as he saw mama, grandma , and Aunt Daisy peeping in at the door Dorothy aimed her arrow so well | that 1t struck him in the bosom, a | small pin that mama had fixed into | the head. piercing his wasstcoat pock- ct.

 Dear Uncle Jed: In my school they are having a Thrift Stamp Club. was elected a director in fny room. the sixth grade. I have already bought thirty eight stamps and expect to buy more.
 As. am a direeter have to ask other girls who have not bought any stamps to do 80.
 The principal of the school, Mir. Newton, gave our teacher two posters asking us to buy some Thrift Stamps to help Uncle Sam As all of Us can not go across the ocean and fight there we can at least buy some Thrift Stamps and try our best to help Un- cle Sam win the war. Our room has purchased the mos. Thrift Stamps. next to the senior room; but they have about three times as many pupils as are in our room. think if all boys and girls will buy Thrift Stamps Uncle Sam will thanf them later.
