The Life Of a Sweet Pea.

Once there was a little seed in
a sack at the grocery One day a lit
tie girl came in and bought the
seed and took it home. She then
went to the flower bed and dug up
some ground. She planted the
seed
In a few weeks little green
sprout was peeping up through the
ground. When three weeks more
had passed the green thing had
stretched out on the ground. Elma
(Which was the little girls name)
took it and tied it up tothe fence.
In another week there were a lot
of pretty and different flowers flow
ers on it. Elma took the flowers
and put them in a vase in the
house. They were dead in week.
That was the end of the sweetpea.

THE CUCKOO.

OF all American birds the cuckoo
is perhaps the least known. This
is because it is very retiring in it's
habits. 1t hides in the foliage and
shrubbery. The cuckoo is a very
noticeable bird, not because of its
color, but because of its shape. 1t
is so narrow in proportion to its
length that some writer's have COM
pared it to an arrow. The flight of
the cuckoo is another marked char
acteristic and will serve as an iden-
tiiication mark when once well
known. It's voice is nard to locate
The bird is only with us during the
breeding season as 1t flys south

ward in the autumn. The cuckoo
of the old world presents stirling
contrast to the North American
cuckoo. The old world bird does
not care for it's own young, but
trusts them to the care of foster
parents.
The nest of the North American
bird is very fragile. The bottom
of the nest is often so thin that
the eggs can be seen through it.
The North American bird is often
called the rain dove and the rain
crow. The cuckoo must be placed
in the class of birds that do the
most good for man.

Buy Forget-Me-Nots Saturday
and Help the Little Babies Of Belgium

Forget-rne -nots always have had deeper meaning
than the simple loveness of the flower but they never
have meant much now when the Queen OF Belgium
has adoped them as her flower and as the symbol of
remembering the Belgian babies
All through America the forgetme-nots are being sold
to raise funds for the Belgian children and when Ameri
can children everywhere doing their bit in this to
show their friendship for little allied brothers who
have suffered most of ALL Richmond boys and
girls will be as loyal.
Next Saturday July e. is the day set for selling the
EMS flower here in Richmond, and every boy and girl
ould save their pennies and nckels SO that they may
Guy the flowers and wear the Belgian symbol.
These flowers will be sold the streets and in many
places the city, and will be ten cents or as much more
as anyone wishes to give to the fund This movement is
being conducted by the Commercial club assisted by the
Camp Fire Girls and their friends, and is hoped that
large sum OF money will be raised.

CAUSE OF MEXICAN PEON'S
DISLIKE FOR UNITED STATES.

/ lived in southern Texas about
two years ago, on farm which was
six miles from town. One day as
l was riding along fell in with a
Mexican, who had lived in Mexico
not very long before. Upon ask
ing him why Mexican did not like
the United States he said that in
Mexico the land was hardly any
thing but mountains and the mines
were owned by few rich Ameri-
cans and Mexicans, and that there
was no farm land that could be
farmed by the Mexican peon. In
Texas the land was not hilly and
rocky and could be farmed-Homer

Contrast of This War Nth
Former Wars.

AS'SA pCioic III lie history Ok
mankind has war been fought
which could be compared with the
present conflict in the number OF
nations engaged, size of armies,
amount of money spent, engines Of
destruction or the purpose for
which it is being founght.
In the present struggle practic-
ally every nation of Importance in
the globe is fighting. Among the
allies are the United States, Eng
land. France and Italy fighting side
by side, along with sixteen other
nations who wish to destroy the
military power of Germany and her
allies.
In olden times an army of one
hundred thousand men was consid-
cred a large army, but today is
seems but a handful of men when
we look at the German army Of
four million men, while England
and France and their European al
lies have total of about six mil
lion men. Up to date the United
States has about three million men
scattered throughout the training
camps in America and in Europe.
Besides the men who will do the
actual fighting in the trenches there
are vast armies of civilian who are
putting their best efforts forth at
home to help the boys "over there"
succeed.
In order to equip such large
armies, and to keep them in sup
plies and food, large sums Of money
are being spent. In order to secure
the money every nation has issued
bonds and levied special war taxes.
The German nation alone has had
eight great war loans which have
netted that country billions of dol
lars. The United States loaned
seven billions of dollars to Eng
land, France and their allies be-
fore we entered the war, but since
we ourselves are in it we need bill
lions of dollars for our own use,
consequently, there have been
three great Liberty Loan cam
paigns which have netted about
three billions of dollars each. The
money secured by Liberty Loans
and War Savings Stamps is used
to support the army, but large
sums are needed by the Red Cross
and Y. M. G. A. to carry on their
| work.
One of the outstanding features
of this war is the number, variety,
and size of the machine guns or
death dealing devices.
The submas ines are probably the
greatest invention Of the war for
warfare on the seas. But the air
too, has large part to play with
air planes, dirigibles and observa-
ton balloons which are called the
"eyes of the army" The method
! of lighting on land has greatly
changed since the appearance Of
the huge British tanks, which crush
everything that may be in their
path. Their guns are working at
the same time. The lead splitting
machine gun. which fires six hun
dred shots minute, is just like
a powerful stream of water. The
liquid fire burns man and makes
horrible wounds. The most terrible
is the gas which floats on the
breeze and catches a man who is
unprepared. In a few minutes he
dies with no wounds or scars what
ever
To use the words of our Presi-
dent, tie war is being fought to
make the world safe for democracy,
that is the people of all nations
shall be allowed to choose their
| own form of government and after
choosing their own leader they
shall be allowed to give their opin-
ions concerning government affairs.
