Y. nj. c. A, HUTS

| think the Y. NJ. G. A. huts are
the best for the soldiers because
whenever they get homesick they
can go there and listen to the phon-
ograph and play baseball and many
other athletic things to make them
forget. l think everybody ought to
help this war by saving food and
by using more rye. corn and gra-
ham -four and by using less wheat
and meat. think it is right for
us to have a meatless and wheat
less day and that way we can save
a lot of food: and also we ought not
to waste so much because lot of
things we waste lots of children
and poor people would be glad to
have.
Here is how the American boys
can help, by every boy that can go
out and work and have ten dollars
by next April the first, nineteen
eighteen, and even if the boys can
not get ten dollars, if fittv cents is
all you can give. that would help
as much as rich man that could
give one hundred dollars. Elgar
Hopkins, 7B1 Glass.

THE BOYS AT CAMP

Let us think for a momen of the
poor soldiers at camp. of the many
thousands who are working fer you
and me and for our flag. Do you
think when you sit down to meal
about them and say to yourself.
What are they doing now" For
supper they sit down at the table
and eat their humble meal Of beans
and bread without butter. and they
choke it down with heavy heart
as they think of home. When
night comes they lay awake on
their cot without pillows under
heads. They lay cold and heartSck
with one small blanket over them
and think what they could have if
they were home. When we jump
in our beds between the blankets
let as think Of them and hope and
pray that it won't be long when
they will be home again with us.
Let us try and help them and let
us be with God and He will be with
them.-Gertrude Schneider, Gar
field school.

SELFISH OLD WOMAN

Once upon q time there lived an
old woman in cabin, in the depts
Of forest. In front of her house
was huge elephant. This woman
was very rich, for she had many,
many bags of gold and silver but
she was very selfish. The elephant
in front Of her house was very
kind.
The old woman tried to teach her
elephant TO keep the dangerous ami
mails away. The elephant tried to
do all she told him to 90.
One day the elephant did not re-
ceive his food. All day long he
went hungry. He thought he
would let some little animal in that
could not hurt the old woman. Now
this old woman was afraid of any
little animal. The next day little
frog came hopping by. 1t said,
May | go in this little house and
see what is in there?"
why, yes" said the elephant,
thinking The little frog could not
hurt the cid woman. But when
you come out will you tell me what
is in there?"
Yes, | will tell YOU said the
little frog going on into the house.
The little frog went on into the
kitchen and there sat the old wom-
an. The little frog jumped up by
her side.
The old woman gave a scream
and ran out Of the house. Help,
help" cried the old woman as she
went out Of the door. The elephant
said Jump on my back and | will
take you from danger.
SO the old woman jumped on his
back and he took her from danger,
But before he left her he told her
he would take her home Then he
hurried back to the little frog
The little frog said, This old
woman IS very rich" The elephant
said nothing and the little frog
passed on. The elephant thought
if the old woman was rich she could
feed him daily.
He went back after her, but be-
fore he took her he made her prom
Use that she would feed him daily.
SO she fed him regularly ever af-

that she forgot and chased clear up
to the fourth floor in search of her
locker. She knew that it was in

declared that she was never going
to ask where anything was when
she got to High school, but she
couldn't afford to go around in her

So, down from the fourth floor to

on the second floor. Then. as if she
hadn't already had bad luck enough,
she couldn't find her first class
room until Aunt Nathalie came
along and helped her out Then she
got called down in the library and
was asked, if she wasn't from Gar
