and he had come back filled with
ambition to make soldiers of all the
boys in his block AT first it was easy;
the boys We're interested and eager

could do nothing but quarrel The
boys resented the orders Robert gave
even though they knew he was trying
20 give them correctly and they were

Louise couldn't wait any longer

The man looked so surprised, you

feather. why how did you know p"
he asked. Then he looked from one
to the other. Grandpa Baile- was
smiling and his eyes looked bright as

Grandpa Bailey nodded his white

man. so the Colonel took him North

young man looked sad. My father

- window that can be opened.
With home made ventilator like
the one we are going TO make. the
bed room window can be opened ad-
uniting plenty OF fresh air and at the
same time barring the summer pests.
This ventilator has other advantages,
by setting the cloth frame in place the
window can be left open in the winter.
Snow cannot drift through the
cheesecloth and cold drafts Will be
checked from blowing directly on the
sleeper. IN the summer time II is not
necessary to close the window during
a rain or wind storm. causing the
room to become close and stuffy be-
cause the rain and dust Will not blow
through the cloth frame.
Measure the window for which the
ventilator is intended and make out a
bill OF stock for the frames

you're needed for a real Job. Suppose
we organize a company right this very
night and attack the gardens in this

I'll wager you'll have ne time for

And that is how Company D of the
Hoe Brigade started but the story of
the fine gardens that company made
