Champion Boy Corn Grower of Iowa.

Iowa is one of the leading corn pro- ducing states, and to be champion boy corn grower of that state is an unus- ual honor. But to have a record as an habitual winner of corn growing ampionships in that state is an even greater distinction.
 Thahonors just mentioned have been won by Eugene Dugan, a sixteen-year- old farmer boy who lives at Kingsley, Iowa, and with whom the growing of corn is matter of study as well as industry. His motto is: Work hard; never give up" He gives credit to the principle voiced by this motto for his success as a champion corn grower.
 Eugene has always been interested in corn growing, at least since he was old enough to realize the value of corn production, but his championship &C., tivity did not begin until 1915, when, as member of a boys corn club he won the championship in his own county. He repeated the feat in 1916, winning the county championship. In 1917. he not only won the county championship but the state and na- tional records, thus giving him three county, one state and one national championship in three years. Inas- much as Iowa's corn yield exceeds that of any other state. Eugene s friends are claiming the worlds cham pionship for him also, but he is satis-
 fled with the honors really achieved During the three years, Eugene has grown three acres of prize winning corn, the average yield for the three years being 121.1 bushels.-The Boys World.

POETRY.
My Father.

My father is the finest man
 In all this world to me: He's all that's good. and brave, and
 true
 The things a man should he. There never was a better friend Or wiser one than Dad; Hes just the truest-hearted pal A fellow ever had. My fathers creed is faithfulness; He seeks to serve his God. His loved ones and his fellow men; Content is he to plod Along the quiet ways of life;
 He wants no towing fame Or mighty wealth-his goal is this: 4 pure, unsullied name. My father is the kind of man
 That I would like to be; Hes wholesome, gentle, just sincere The soul of honesty, l want to live a life like his.
 And oh, I want to prove My right to bear my fathers name And share his priceless love.

Getting Lindx to Hoousrizs.

Lindy had been in the Carter family for 15 years. Although she was ex- travagant, she was very fine cook.
 However. it was a different matter after food conservation went into ef- feet in the household Then Mrs. Carter announced to her housemaid the new regime as to meatless days and the like.
 And we must use less butter and lard, Lindy." said Mrs. Carter.
 Lindy smiled and answered: Now, honey, don't you bother none bout de cookin'''
 In the matter of waste Lindy was hard to change. When Mrs. Carter in vestigated her garbage can she was
 "oh. Lindy! All this good bread thrown away, and this grease" Now, honey, yo' jes keep away from lady sniffin' round garbage" One morning as Lindy brought up the mail she paused at the top of the stairs and stood staring at something in her hands.
 As Mrs Carter came toward her to take the mail Lindy said: Oh Missus ain't it pitifHl!" The exclamation was called out by a card sent through the mail to make an appeal for the starving children o1 Belgium. At the top of the card were photographs of some famine -stricker | little ones.
 Yes. Lindy. Isn't it dreadful? That 1 is why I am begging you to be care full about wasting, and to use less meat and wheat. There will be lot. more of these starving people if we're not careful"
 The tears coursed down Lindy'l l black cheeks
 Mrs. Carter said: "If you'd like tt put that card up in the kitchen, yol may. We've got some others just lik, it."
 When Mrs. Carter went to tn kitchen to give her orders for tn days meals Lindy was irJ line u | Hooverize.

All this time I was becoming disgusted with the people and their ways. One day while in the market place II saw many group of these TIT" shaped children discussing different matters.

LETTERS TO UNCLE JED.
The Last Day of School.

Dear Uncle Jed: I will tell you about the fun we had the last day of school. The name of the school which I am talking about is the Tyler school, of Jewett City. My teacher was Miss Clara Moran.
 Our school closed the tenth of June with a picnic for the children. We had sixteen callers besides my pet dog. The picnic was from p. m. until 3.S0 p. m.
 We all sang first, then one by one began speaking. I spoke on "Wreaths Eternal"
 After osr singing and speaking we had a peanut hunt. I found 54 of them-this was four less than the prize.
 After the peanut hunt lemonade was served When we had enough of that we had candy and bananas. Cake and also Sandwiches were served. We had five different kinds of cake. They were all good.
 Our school was decorated with flow CTS. When we had enough of the cake we drank lemonade again. There were two water pitchers full of it.
 When the picnic was over my teach CT gave me the prize for getting the most wild flowers. I found eighty four different wild flowers and got first prize which was a handkerchief
 A girl friend of mine received a handkerchief for forty-seven wild flowers. This was the second prize.
 We had good time at the picnic. I passed into the Sixth grade I have two sisters and a brother going to school. All four of us passed into the next grade; and we are all buying thrift stamps.
 I have a war saving garden, am a member of the Junior Food Army and I am going to get a membership but ton for it. I have planted potatoes,

the utmost accuracy and he sent to the commercial school with which young Swem was connected and asked for stenographer who could be de- pended upon to report the speech per i fectly. Mir. Wilson may have had mis- givings when he saw the boy who was sent to him, but never did Mir Wilson have speech reported more accurate ly, and he offered young SWem the position of private stenographer. The offer was accepted and MT. Swem still holds the position. at salary of twenty five hundred dollars a year. At thirteen years of age, Charles 1 Lee Swem was working in a mill in New Jersey and when he was still in the mill and earning but five dollars l a week. Being ambitious, he became restless. He saw no chance of ad- vancement in the mill nor in any ether position until he acquired more edu- 1 cation; therefore, he began to go to | night school three evenings a week and here he studied hard, after his day of work in the mill Then he en- | tered school in which stenography was taught and at once revealed re- markable aptitude for this kind ot work. In the year 1911 the. National | Shorthand Reporters Association me. 1 in Buffalo, New York, and a contest
 
 was held in shorthand writing. Young SWem, a boy in his teens, entered the contest and rather dazed the conven- 1 ton by breaking the worlds record fol rapid work. He wrote 2S7 words z minute for five consecutive minutes and never was work more accurately done. It is hardly to be wondered a that he was given the name of tht | lightning stenographer." Soon aftel this be made a world record for ac. curacy on regular matter. He has en tered seven different contests and wo1 in all of them. although he has hat many competitors of more than twice his age and with years of experienc, 1 before, he had ever tried to write word in shorthand
 So it was that a poor boy with bu limited education rose through his owl efforts to a position of high trust ant responsibility. It is also a position Of honor and one that helps to rnak Charles Lee Swem one of the best in formed young men in the country il regard to public affairs.-The Boy World

STORIES WRITTEN BY WIDE
 AWAKES.

When we come to Minneapolis we must know how wheat is made into flour. The chief flour making city is Minneapolis. It is situated on the up per part of the Mississippi river. This is the largest flour mill in the United States. There are other smaller mills in other places. This large mill pro- duces most o1 the four we want to eat We must go into these mills. As we go in we must think how flour was made in the olden times.
 First the people long ago began to eat it in the kernel. After while they began to boil it. but they found it tasted better baked After a while they began to pound it with rocks and and made cakes from the meal.
 But we must go on in the mill. All we see is machinery. It is not touch ed by hand as it goes to the top of the mill by an elevator. There it is picked over to remove dirt and other waste matter. Then it is bolted.
 As it goes down it is emptied on silk cloth. After it has gone through two or three pieces of this cloth it is sifted clean. Then it goes down to the bot tom floor where 1t is bolted and bag ged and put into barrels. Then 1t is ready to send away. It goes by trains or boats.
 There isn't much flour now. You can only get one small bag. The soldiers need it to keep them in con- dition for fighting. We here can use other kinds of meal or flour as substi- tutes.

The Life of Scott,

Sir Walter Scott. poet and novelist, was born in Edinburgh on the 18th of August, 1771.
 His father wanted him, at first. to learn his business, but Scott liked law. He studied this four years. He found out that he would write poetry, too, and wrote several books. His first book was The Lay of the Last Minstrel, which at once became widely popular. Marmion was the next book finished. It was even more popular than the first. The Lady of the Lake was a very interesting book about the highlanders, lowlanders and borderers
 I like the Lady of the Lake. It is Douglas out of Scotland. Roderick Dhu, who lived in the highlands, gave shelter to Douglas. Douglas had a lovely daughter named Ellen. Roder- ick wanted the hand of Ellen, but when he was rejected he was very angry.
 Young. Malcolm Gaeme, who was very handsome, also loved Ellen. Ellen and her father favored Malcolm.
 Another person, James Fitz- James loved her. He then gave a detailed account of Ellen's love affairs.
 He then finished Waverly, whict was among the first books started Ivanhoe and many others soon fol. lowed.
 He visited many places of interest but when he thought the end was neal he insisted upon being carried across Europe to his beloved Tweedside al Abbotsford, where he expired on tht Fist of September 1832.

Our sehool cloek.
Baltic.

Our school clock is a large sized timepiece. It has no inscription, so we do not know who the maker was. The case is made of chestnut wood and has but few ornaments The dial in- dieates the hours and minutes. Our clock does not strike the hours, but we can hear it's "tic-tac," and can see the pendulum swinging back and forth. It does not keep good time, for it loses about five minutes a week. Sister says it is not worth while to have it regulated, as it is very old.
 If our clock could talk. it would tell many interesting stories about the boys and girls who used to come to St. Mary's school in days gone by.
 In doing it's work constantly our cleek teaches us that we also must be faithful to our duty and lot lose a minute. We all know that time once lost is lost forever.

Careful and Kind

Pray he careful, little sister;
 Softly touch those painted wings! Butterflies and moths, remember, Are such very tender things. Carefully, my pretty one,
 Press the sheltering tWigs aside, Just to view the naked nestlings Safely sleeping side by side. Gently strike the playful kitten, Kindly pat the patient dog; Let your unmole5tint- mercy Spare the worm. the snake. the frog. Wide is Gods great world around us, Room enough for all to live; Mar no creatures brief enjoyment Take not what you cannot give. Ever let your heart be tender, For the mute and helpless plead; Plying leads to prompt relieving, Kindly thought to kindly deed.
