Her Christmas Vacation.

Dear Uncle Jed: My Christmas va cation, my father. mother, sisters brothers and myself left on the 22nd of December for my grandfather's house in Providence. We left Baltic at 10 o'clock. The train was late so we got to Providence at quarter of one. Grandpa was waiting at the depot, We stayed at his house till Sunday morning, then we went to my aunt's in Warren, R. I. She had a big Christ
 mas tree and my uncle gave us lots of nice presents off the tree.
 We went back to grandpa's that night. Monday my other aunt from Fall River, Mass, came up and she brought us lot of nice things. We hung up our stockings and Christmas morning grandpa woke us up at six o'clock. The tree was all lit up with colored candles and looked lovely and Santa Claus had been very. good to us

Baby

Dear Uncle Jed: My baby sister has a doll which she throws on the floor when she is mad. Edna climbs the stairs and cries when she does not get what she wants When I was writing this story she pushed my arm and made me make a long mark. I guess she knew I was writing about her.
 Edna loves chocolate candy, but gets more on her face. than in her mouth. She is only one year old, so of course she does not know any better.
 She runs and gets her papa's slip pers when he comes home from work. I think she is the cutest baby in the world.

Doing Their Bit.

Dear Uncle Jed: will write and tell you about a sale our girls club had
 this summer. We had been sewing a
 long time on articles for our fancy
 work table. We had made bags,
 aprons, holders and other things.
 Three days before the fair we met
 at the church to decorate. Our fair
 was to be in the afternoon and even
 ing at the same time with a supper
 given by the Kings Daughter We
 planned fancy work table, a candy
 table and fish pond. .
 We decorated the fancy work table
 with blue and white crepe paper. We
 had an arch over the front wound
 with blue and white and having a large blue and white bow at the top The candy table we decorated in yellow and white crepe paper, on the plan of post office, with a little win dow in d lattice work of yellow and
 white strips. The fish pond was two barrels; one covered with blue and one with white crepe paper and bearing a large card on which was printed Fish Pond, 5 and 10 cents." A Our sale was very successful. We sold every thing and gained s11.50 which we gave to the Armenian relief work
 Dear Wide -Awakes: You who have
 all that you wish to eat, and are sur- rounded with love and comfort, you cannot imagine how it would be to be out on a barren plain, herded together with hundreds of women and children ! in 8 dirty tent and knowing that your father was driven off by the cruel 1 Turks, with hundreds of other fine Christian men to meet terrible death at their hands. Yet this is exactly what is hapepning to several million good Christian people. the Armenians | Some of these very people were ac- l auainted with my father who used tc be a missionary in Turkey and I was
 born there. I myself knew some oi them. 1 Can you not do something for these i innocent sufferers? Any pastor of 8 church can tell you where to send l money.
 Yours sincerely

 The American flag is the third old- est. Red stands for valar, white for hope and blue for loyalty. Betsy Ross was chosen to make the flag.
 Congress passed the resolution for the American flag. June A. 1T77: "Re- solved, That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, al ternate red and white that the unien be thirteen stars. white in a blue field, representing new constellation" Many a famous scene in American history has been censeeratad by the presence of the Stars and Stripes. Way back in lf7f it was & comfort and cheer to the soldiers at Valley Forge. Our flag wRres today over a nation such as there never was, nor eyer will be. In our capitals 1t waves proud- ly and on our schools, North and South, East and West, rises from the mast that preudest, most beautiful, and beloved emblem in the world.

Dear Uncle Jed: Quite while ago our school made jam to send to the soldiers. We girls stayed after school one dayy to help. We all brought aprons and knives.
 We had bushel of peaches and some sugar.
 The teacher blaanched some of the peaches so the work went quicker.
 After the peaches were pared the sugar was added to them. To every pound of fruit we added one-half pound of sugar.
 When the jam was all made there were four gallons.

The Mill Which | Work In.

-
 Dear Uncle Jed: The mill which I work in is called The Wauregan MilI' It is situated near the river so that if they are short of coal they can use water for power. The mill is di vided into the old and new mill and was first built in 1859 and later added to, or reuodeled.
 The mill contains many rooms. The room I work in is called the mule room. It is about 266 feet long and 50 feet wide and contains six pairs of mules. On the outside of the mules is framework containing three rows of bobhins. When these bobbins run out they must be renewed and that is part of my work. 10 I also sweep out between the mules and put tubes on the mules after the l filling or finished product is taken out The mill also contains the weave shop, where the yarn is woven into eloth5 i the spooling room. the slasher room. card room and cloth roob. beside many l rooms for storing supplies.
