THE SNOW MAN CURE

"Oh, mother, must we take Freddie
with us 10 the park? We won't have
any fun with him along II was big
brother Bert who spoke, but the other
children's eyes all said the same
thing.
Il know just how you feel" said
mother, but Freddie is our guest for
week, until his mother gets back
from grandmother and think you
children can help lonely, selfish lit
tie boy great real in seven days.
At home he has only himself to think
Of, and he doesn't know anything
about the pleasure of helping other
folks. He doesn't know how 10 work
or TO play with any one else. Try
to show him what fun you four have
together by not each always having
your own way, DO that much for
mother, won't you?'
well, wen try TO do II. mother,
don't worry" said Bert, and off they
went.
Freddie was waiting outside on the
walk. Tina was the baby and she -
ways rode on the sled at thee t.Ics,
and each one wanted to pull her, so
they took turns. do you want the
first turn" asked Bert, offering the
rope to Freddie. Freddie drew back
saying. shortly, mo. I'm company.
think ! ought to ride part OF the
time"
That wasn't a very good start. but
the children did not say any OF the
unkind words that they felt like say
ing, and away they ran to the park.
Such fun as they had then, even in
spite OF Freddie. They slid on the
pond and they coasted down the hills
and at last they made big snow
rsln. In all the hard work OF rolling
the heavy balls and piling them up
Freddie stood looking on and did not
offer to help, and when at last the
man was done and the children We're
happily admiring their work, Freddie
said I'VE made a snow man once
with a nicer face than that one
it was Ruth who d,d the kind thing
then. Wen take this head off, she
said, land YOU can show US how to
make a better head
"All right cried Bert, giving the
big snow head push that sent It
tumbling Off
Freddie helped to roll the ball for
the next head. The cross little puck
ers went out of his face, and soon
he was laughing with the rest. When
the head was done, every one praised
it. but Freddie said honestly: "
guess it really isn't so good as the
first head" But the new head had
helped Freddie to begin to work and
play with his cousins.

SUGAR SAVING is
URGED BY GIBSON

There is a critical shortage of sugar
in the United States at the present
time and we are asked to do our part
in the saving Of this essential food
The federal food administration is al
Ioting the available supply Of sugar to
the several states Sin proportion to
their populations. If state consumes
III excess Of It's allotment one month
its supply for the following month is
reduced to that extent. In July Ore
gon consumed in excess Of is part Of
the available supply of sugar So be-
ginning August we are asked to go
on d ration Of two pounds per month
per person. 1t will take big viii power
and a little sugar spoon to get down to
this small quantity. But we can do 1t.
We must do it,
The food administration is eager
that the people should do all the can
ming possible SO, if you have had
less than 100 pounds Of sugar for can
uing your needs will be supplied if lr
can be done But make your canning
sugar do twice the canning that.it used
to do. For we must save sugar.

"For Gods Sake Men And
Women Make This War
a Personal Affair"

Suppose that the German army
was marching into Mississippi. and
in our fright we appealed frantically
to our President in Washington to
send us aid!
Suppose we watched and waited
the enemy coming closer and closer
to our homes every day-and we
repeated our appeals for help, h e ] p,
II Il L P!!
Suppose it was six months before
that help arrived? What would
have become of us you and your
loved ones, me and miner Its all
too horrible to think of, isn't it?
Surely our President would not keep
us waiting six months. He would
answer our call immediately
Do you know that the President
called on us six months ago, for
help-and we have not answered
him yet. Do you know that 'Presi-
dent Wilson asked Mississippi to
purchase forty million dollars worth
of War Savings Stamps-and with
nearly half year gone by, I'm
ashamed to tell you the small
amount we have bought.
Yes, / know you subscribed to
Liberty Bonds, know you helped
the Red Cross and every other cause,
and God bless you for it--but, the
w. S. S. campaign is just another
method of securing money, sorely
needed and just as important as
Liberty Bonds.
It's not too late yet. Mississippi
will buy her full quota of w. s. s..
June 28th, has been set aside as
National War Savings Day and the
purpose of this letter is to tell you
to start today with your own family,
your neighbors and your friends to
help us put Mississippi over the top.
And because / know that you are
American, from tip to toe--and a
Mississippian too, know you will
join me in saying-WE CANNOT
FALL

Dear Papa, Mama and all;

Dear Papa, Mama and all;
Well, we arrived herethis morn
ing about $50 o'clock, and left Camp
Beauregard Friday morning about
7:30 o'clock. We made the trip all
o. k, had good sleepers to ride in
and good eats all the way. The
Red Cross were mighty nice to us
along the way too.
We saw some of the prettiest
wheat and clover fields you ever saw,
also some pretty lakes and big rivers.
We went through the Leigh Heigh
Valley and | wish you all could have
seen some of the pretty rocks, hun
dreds of feet up the hill side alb owe
the train. 1t was just like picture
/ could not begin to tell what all |
saw on my way up here.
They have some of the largest en-
gines up here | ever saw. Some are
sixteen wheel drive, four cylinder.
We went up one grade where they
had to put on two big engines, and
where they put on the second engine
to where they took it off was six
hundred feet higher than where they
put it on. The tracks are double
here, and on the way some one threw
out letter to mail and young
lady went to pick it up, but did not
notice the fast train coming on the
other track and was run over and
killed.
We are camped in IA miles of
New York and we are going to have
passes over there and ! am going,
if nothing happens.
VIII have to close for this time.
Will write again in day or so.
