to notice a tree that looked differ

was not a fruit tree. Josephine
suggested that they count accord

and see what they would find.
Joseph began counting and came
TO an old hollow apple tree. He
reached into hole of the tree and
found a tin box. He opened it
rather hurriedly and exclaimed,
"Hurran! mother have found the
money and Josephine and | can go

That evening they all went back
to the house very happy in their

JOHN WORKS FOR HIS MONEY.

John was six years old. His
family was very poor. John want
ed to buy thrift stamps not only
because his country wanted his
money, hut also because all of the
children in his room at school had
Thrift Stamps. He decided to 60 to
work.
He went down to Mrs Browns
house and asked her if there was
anything that he could do to help
her. She told him that he could go
to the store for her. He went and
when he came back she gave him
fifty cents. The next day he
bought two thrift stamps.

Dear Aunt Molly
How can you find the North Star?

Dear Walter:
Look for the two end stars OF the
Great Dipper and the star that is
nearest and on a straight line from
these is the North Star-Ed.
Dear Aunt Molly:
Why don't boys like to play with
dolls? Elizabeth Estelle.
Dear Elizabeth:
1t is probably because boys do
not possess the mother instinct,
or it may be as one of the boys
said, dolls are just made for girls

Does the North Star shine very
bright? Walter B.
Dear Walter:
To me it does not seem any
brighter than the other stars.-Ed
Dear Aunt Molly:
Why are tho neighbors chickens
so bothersome? Marjorie G..
Dear Marjorie:
1t is probably because they are
allowed to get out of the chicken
yard and. since they are never con-
tented at home, they go in your
garden to enjoy themselves.-Ed
Dear Aunt Molly:
Why do We not have Buttons and
Fatty" in the Junior?

Dear Herman:
We have features in the Junior
which we think are just as good as
Buttons and Fatty" and so we do
not go to the extra expense of get

Washington, June, 2S.-With much
the same ceremony which marked
the great drawing of a year ago, the
drawing of numbers to determine the
order in which youths of the classes
of 1918 will be. called into the mil
5itary service was conducted here.
The first number drawn was 246,
followed by 1,16S, S1S, 1901 and ~,
in the order named.
This time, however, it was q much
smaller affair, and in view of the
fact that the classification system
more nearly determines the order of
service than does the actual numeri-
cal order, it was not surrounded with
such dramatic interest.
Only 1,2Oc Numbers Drawn.
In comparison with the 1O,500 num-
3bGrs required to be drawn year ago
only 1.2Oe numbers were drawn.
/. The district having the largest num-
sliersof men to register June reported
somewhat less than 1000 registrants.
20 provide for latssregistrants and
emergencies it was decided to draw
1,2O0 numbers. In the larger number
of the districts, however, only tho
lower numbers will apply.
Official lists of the numbers as
drawn, based on the photographs tax
en- of the hlackboards, will be sent
within few days to all local draft
boards to be used in placing the men
