THE KING AND
HIS THREE DAUGHTERS

There was once a king whose
name was Bulu. He had three.
beautiful daughters One day he
called the youngest one to him and
said, "Aluna, do you love me or
not?"
She said, Father, / love you as
you love gold"
Good, my child" said he
Then he called the second and
asked her if she loved him. She
told him that she loved him as he
loved diamonds. The king was
very much pleased with this
answer.
He then called the eldest daugh.
ter, Hasa, and asked her the came
question. She told him that she
loved him as he loved salt. The
king was very angry with this ans
wer and said that she was lN
daughter of his.
Kasa wandered through the wide
world until she came at last to the
castle Of King Bike. She went III
and asked if they would take her
into their service. She secured
position as a dish washer and soon
learned to cook.
One day King Bike invited King
Bulu for dinner. Hasa said that
she would dook the dinner She
cooked the dishes that she knew
her father liked the best but she
did not put any salt into them. In
stead she dropped into 1t a ring of
gold and some diamonds that he
had given her.
Bulu was very much pleased
when he saw his fayorite dishes but
they tasted so bad that he could
not eat them.
What is the natter" asked
King Bike.
1T is nicely cooked but there is
no salt in it and ! cannot eat IT,"
said Bulu.
Then Bike was very angry and
sent for the cook and asked why
she put no salt in the food
Il have put diamonds and gold
into it instead of salt because |
thought that he loved them better
than salt" she said.
Then Buiu looked in the dish and
found the ring which he had given
her. He recognized the cook as his
daughter and SO took her in his
arms and said, Dear child, now
know how much you love me for
cannot live without eating and /
cannot eat without salt" Con

The Bean Poles of Bopfing.

At Bopfing the people used 10
plant so many beans every year
that there was great demand for
bean poles.
One day it entered the head OF a
wise fellow that 1t was all nonsense
to get new bean poles each year.
He told this to the town council
and they agreed with him. What
do you think the council did? They
made a law that as the forests were
being injured by the loss Of so much
wood, the people should grow their
bean poles with their beans and as
the poles were to last long time
they decided to have them made OF
steel. What could they get that
when planted would make steel
bean poles. They finally decided
that each man should plant a needle
with every bean.
Every man in Bopfing planted a
needle with each bean. They are
still waiting for the steel bean poles
to grow.-Contributed by John Rus

JANE AND HER
NAUGHTY BROTHER

One day little girl named Jane
was playing near tub of cold wat
er. There was a great deal of ice
in the tub and of course the water
was very cold.
Jane had a very naughty brother
named Henry. He was playing war
with the other boys and thought
that he would like to have some
fun. He saw his sister playing in
the water and he decided that it
would be great fun to push her in.
He did so and when they pulled
Jane out she was very cold.
They took her in the house and
put her near the fire. She began
to swell until she appeared to be
very fat. In about two days the
swelling went down and she was
as thin as ever. Henry was very
sorry and was never so rude again.

The Way to Catch a Monkey

One time when we were in North
Africa, my father went out into the
thick woods to catch a monkey. He
had pair of boots with tar in, IN
der his arm.
He sat down, in sight Of mon
key up in a tree and pulled off his
own boots.
Then, he took the boots he had
been carryi0 and set them down
for the monkey to look at. Next he
pulled his own boots back ON.
Then he got up and went off
where the monkey could not see
him any more. Pretty soon the
monkey came down the tree. He
looked around to see if anybody
was watching. Then he sat down
and pulled on fathers boots.
When his feet stuck in the tar
he cried Then my father came
running with wire cage and
threw it over his head. He pulled
the monkey loose from the boots
and took him over to the boat

The Two Poor Brothers

Once upon a time there lived two
poor brothers. They had nothing
to eat, SO they had to go out in the
snow and beg for food.
AS they went along they saw
some funny little tracks in the
snow. So they followed the tracks
a long way until they came to q
large pile of snow. They climbed
upon it, the older boy going ahead.
The smaller boy followed. The old
er boy started to drag his feet.
All at once a little rabbit jumped
out OF the snow. The boys ran
after it. The snow was drifted so
high that the boys soon overlook
the little rabbit and caught 1t. The
next morning when they went down
TO feed the rabbit there they saw
some little rabbits, so they raised
rabbits and sold them. Soon they
grew rich and they lived happily
ever after.

thing for the money pledged must
be earned. Pledge SIS or less and
earn every penny of it There are
numerous ways in which Victory
Girls will be able to secure money for
their pledges: caring for children,
washing dishes, ironing, knitting,
Saturday work in stores, sale OF
Christmas cards, planting bulbs, run
ming errands, mending, and having a
self denial fund.
The quarantine has prevented
much personal work during the cam
paign but it is hoped that every en-
thusiastic American girl will make a
pledge before November Is. The
most immediate thing we can do now
to reach the girls of Seward county
by means of phamplets, letters, post
ers and newspaper publicity. There
are effective posters showing every
girl pulling for Victory" Just be-
cause victory is ours we must re-
member that our work is not done.
A high Military authority was quoted
recently as saying the moment fight
ing stops, every hut in France will
become a class room where the boys
will have chance to make up school
work lost during the war. This
means we must subscribe to the
funds of the organizations that are
able to carry out such plans for the
soldiers. The plan of the seven
great organizations combined for

influences and comforts to the boys
in camps and at the front. Americas
