An April Fool.

Grandpa Brown was very old man. As he sat looking at his morning pa per he said,
 Mildred, Ted and John come herei have bargain. Today is April fools day. Anyone who can fool me shall get large wagon, horse and riders outfit"
 Mildred was girl of twelve, John was nine, and small Ted was only five.
 At first John said. "Oh, he always said I looked like you, so let me take your dress and go to see him. So the dress was slipped on to John.
 He went to the house and found his grandpa in the parlor reading. As he went in he began to.talk.
 Before he had ended his first sen tence grandpa said, "Why, John, you are good looking grill"
 All day passed until about 1 o'clock and as Grandpa always had a nap, he said,
 My, but it is dark in here after be- ing out in the sunshine"
 He was about to lie down but he thought he sat on the cat and got up, saying:
 "oh, my dear little cat. did I hurt you?'
 April fool! April fool! at last. It's only mas mufler you sat on. Ha! Ha! The wagons mine!" exclaimed Ted.
 The next day they went to get the wagon, which was made to hold three Ted, John and Mildred. HELENA MAGEII, Age IA.

UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE.
 AWAkES.

The fields and brooks are very fnvit- ing, and have been every spring since brooks began to flow and grass and violets to grow.
 How long ago that was no man Rrows. No one can tell how long ago men began to fish and to make gar dens. It is likely that he began to fish some time after he began to hunt wild game-before a hook or twine had been invented
 At first man tied together vegetable fibers and attached thereto a straight piece of bone over which he slipped a worm, and when the fish swallowed the worm the pulling of the fibre made the bone cross the fish's throat and held him.
 It was many centuries after this that cut pole and bent wire or Din was thought of, and great many more hundreds of years before the rod and reel and fly were invented to inn prove the sport of angling.
 Three or four hundred years ago the brook fishermen used 10 make their own flies. They carried with them the hoss and the hair and the tinsel and thread to make flies with, and when they saw the fish catching floating flies they caught one of which the fish seemed most fond. and then proceeded to make a false one as near like it as possible, and from this practice grew the great industry Of making flies oi many kinds to deceive the fish and tc make their capture easy.

Riu Ben.
Jewett City

In a small New England town there lived quiet awkward fellow who went by the name of Big Ben" He never went around with the other fellows, hut always stayed home with his books. It was said that he would all ways stay a farmer.
 There was not much excitement in this small village till the papers were filled with the following headlines:
 President Wilson Declares War Against Germany
 It was then that they really awak- ened to the fact that the United States was at war
 Big Ben then decided to do his bit to help America protect her rights so he enlisted and was sent to a training camp in New England.
 In a few weeks Ben was happily sailing across the seas. How happy he was when French soil came to view.
 He was sent to another camp then he was ready to fight. One day before the battle he spied an enemy creeping towards the American trenches. He hurried to headquarters as fast as he could to report what he had seen.
 Before the enemy had a chance tc do any harm he was sent back by the Americans with shot and shell.
 Although Big Ben was not wortt much in his own home town he was worth something to Uncle Sam.

Won By Obedience.

Dear Uncle Jed: Once a little boy asked his father how he could help his country.
 Well, my son." said his father, I will show you a way. First, you must do as you are told. Be good to every one. Then we will see if you are help ing your country. If you do this l will get you a surprise.
 "Oh, please tell me what it will be" said his son.
 Not now. First you must do as tell you
 Now this little boy did not like. to do as he was told. But he did ti,en unwillingly. Soon he had learned to like his job. One day his father called him. He told him to come with him with his eyes closed. His father led him into the yard. In the yard was a tent. He led his son into it. Now open your eyes," he said. l The boy opened his eyes His father | had gone out. "Ohi a real tent! A gun,
 and soldier suit! Now I am d real soldier"
 1 He looked around and in the corner of his tent was a box He looked in | There he found thrift card with one
 stamp. He was so glad. l MARCIA BRUCKNER, Age 12.

 I earned my money by washing and drying dishes, dusting, sweeping the floor and running to the store for my mother. My two brothers are buying thrift stamps
 The government needs all the money it can get to buy food, clothing and other war supplies for the soldiers and if everybody would do his part in buying stamps we should win this war soon.

Patricia's Donkey.

Dear Uncle Jed: Although I know that most of the lettens to you are about pets, I thought you might want to hear about my donkey.
 He is high enough so that I can stretch out my arm and have it come about two inches over his back; and long enough so that I can lie on his back. with my arms around his neck and my feet hanging off (provided he is in the mood to let mel. His color cannot be described. It changes ev- cry day, being dirty yellow one day and a dully gray the next Between his ears a black line starts: it runs to the tip2 of his tail. Another line starts up one fore leg. goes across his back and down on the other.
 He likes me quite well. He will bear my caresses; it is plain. however, that he doesn't believe in them. He does believe quite strongly in my method of driving, though. It is to mount up- on his back, begin clucking, and after futile efforts to make him go where l want him to, to succumb to eXhaus- ton. He then meanders down the road. stopping now and then to eat an orange peel, a cream box, or an advertisement of the great show to be given at the theatre. He is a jewel,
 
 bucks except when he wants to.
 Last fall. Sammy. the donkey. was taken to Waterford He was intro duced to my little puppy dog, Lewis, Buster Brown. Raymond, White Spar row, Darrow Cassidy. Yelp-of the famous breed of mousse -hound). Now Lewis had been brought up in close contact with Wilhelmina, the COW (she was named before there was any taint on that name). When she was calf he would jump upon her while she was lying down and chew her ears. When she was full grown he was afraid of her, as she was not as amiable as formerly. But he re- | tained the habit of visiting her daily 1 to exercise his lungs. He is fleet runner and hardly ever gets out of breath.
 ! One crisp autumn morning Lewis l set out to visit Willie (short for Will l helmina). Meeting Sammy, he de- cided that he was just as good an ob | ject for his barks as was Willie. There | fore he began barking. He continued until Sammy, exasperated beyond en- | durance, started to chase him. Lewis had a beautiful time, barking and lodging, but by and by he was forced l to stop lodging if he would keep up l ms DdTklnS. flOuIlu dllQ TOunQ III d circle they went. Sammy increasing his speed all the while, Lewis going more slowly If you have never seen an enraged donkey chasing a frightened mongrel, you have no idea how ii l looks. At last Lewis was forced to | give up barking, start pantins, and run for his life. His wits were thrown | to the winds, and he kept to the beaten track (t1le circle, I mean). He could not think to run toward the house but ran on, on, and on.
 l He probably would have been run ming now if my aunt, nearly con- vulsed with laughter, had not called him to her. His tail was dropping anG his head hanging as he came to her and when he parked at Sammy agair he took care to be near the fence where he could retreat, if necessary.
 Although Sammy was victorious that time, he is not always, in his ire quent scraps with the COW. He is stil lat Waterford, enjoying a peaceful (? vacation.

Why Mus. Me HaIna

We must try to win the war because she soldiers are helping us. They need clothing and food to help us, don't they? We must go without for them, We don't need new dresses every month, or new hats, either. V

 am beginning another Thrift stamr book. l am going to belong to the Junior Red Cross. It takes 25 cents to belong. Knitting needles, size seven they will give you the rest of the things.
 Another thing. I am gathering silve, paper, too. If I get a pound of it 1iH get 50 cents. I have half a pound nf it. When I sell it I will get tive Thrift Stamps.

War and Sugar.

Before this war England bought most of her sugar from Germany, Austria, and far away Java.
 France and Italy raised their own sugar. Now the sugar fields of France are ruined. So the allies must buy from the United States and her islands or Java.
 Java is too far away. In an all round trip it takes one hundred and fifty days.
 The allies need their ships and this is too long trip. It is for the United States to help supply them. It takes fifty days to go to France and back again from New York. They need ten billion pounds of sugar a year extra.
 Sugar is one of the cheapest foods We have, and is sold at a lower price in the United States than in any other country. It is often sold in barrels three hundred and fifty pounds to the barrel We must all be saving on sugar.
 Food will win this war, so be care ful of your sugar and help the allies win.

Doinq Her Bit.

Dear Wide -Awakes: I will tell you about my brother in the army. It was one day in July when we read a long list of names of boys to be drafted and at the very bottom was my brother s name. He was examined twice and passed.
 The first camp he was sent to was Camp Devens, Aver. Mass. He was there about three weeks. One Satur- day mother went to town and on her way back she met one of our neigh bors who said:
 Your son is at the depot"
 He had come home on forty y-eight hour furlough, because he was leaving for Camp Gordon, Atlanta, Ga. We spent very nice Sunday with him. Many of our friends came to bid him farewell.
 Sunday night mother and I took him to Amston in an automobile, and en- joyed it very much
 I am doing my bit by saving my pennies to buy Thrift Stamps. When fill one book I'll work hard to fill an- other. l also try to use as little sugar and wheat as possible, so as to give to our soldiers abroad.

LETTERS TO UNCLE JED.
My Work at Home.

Dear Uncle Jed: Now that spring is here and the days are warmer work out of doors. I sweep the lawn and the back yard and am fixing my flower bed and planning to plant a large garden with vegetables.
 Near the house I raked the leaves from the grass field and helped my father pick stones.
 At night milk the cows and some times I help to feed them and clean the barn. I water the horse and help to unharness him from the wagon; then I take him to the barn and tie him up.
 Our horse is called Jim, so when Jim puts his head in the manager it's very hard to take the bridle off and put on the halter, but I scatter some hay below the manager and when he bends down to eat it I unbuckle the bridle and put on the halter with hardly any trouble.
 Tn the house help mother to cook dinner and to prepare breakfast and supper I always wash the milk pails, separator and dishes. I churn butter three and four times a week.
 Besides I embroider, crochet and
