LITTLE PRAIRIE DOGS.
AZ MARY GRAHAMLRO lNNEK

The prairie dogs" said Daddy, "are
very, very small. They look like tiny
woodchucks, and they are cousins OF
the woodchuck family.
"They had been asleep all winter,
but now that the warmer days were
coming. they wanted Ito get up. All
the baby prairie dogs arrived in the
spring, and they wsnted to have their
homes in readiness to welcome the lit
tie ones.
But one day one of the prairie dogs
was missing from his ho me. Young
Master Prairie was the one who was
missing. They searched high and low
for him, but never sign of him
could they find.
"They missed him sadly, and they
felt they knew that harm had come to
him. Master Prairie would never have
stayed away from home on his own
account.
And to be sure, coyote had cap
tured him.
LET me goT Master Prairie had
screamed, but the coyote paid no at
tention.
LET me CO. Master Prairie begged
as the cruel teeth grabbe d his little
body.
He barked and then he cried:
Have pity, coyote, have pity! My
home is so nice. My family loves me
So
But the coyote said Yiciously, I
love you, too. I love you so much
am going to eat you up
"'Oh, please don't eat nfe up said
Master Prairie. I've just awakened

In these trenches when up against
the Prussians and Bavarians, Tommy
had a hot time of it, but when the Sax
ons took over" it was a piclic; they
would yell across that they were Sax
OnS and would not fire. Both sides
would sit on the parapet and carry on
q conversation. This generally consist
ed of Tommy telling them how much
he loved the kaiser, while the Saxons
informed Tommy that King George
was a particular friend of theirs and
hoped that he was doing nicely.
When the Saxons were to be relieved
by Prussians or Bavarians, they would
yell this information across No Mans
Land and Tommy would Immediately
tumble into his trench and keep his
head down.
If an English regiment was to be re-
lieved by the wild Irish, Tommy would
tell the Saxons. and Immediately vol.
ley of Bonner ind BlitZenS" could
be heard and it was FritZ's turn to get
crick in his back from STOPPING, and
the people in Berlin would close their
windows.
Usually when an IriShman takes over
IL trench. just before stand down" in
the morning. he sticks his rifle over
the top aimed in the direction of Ber-
lin, md engages in what is known as
the mad minute" This consists of
firing fifteen shots in Il minute. He
IS not aiming at anything in particular
just sends over each shot with 9
prayer, hoping that one of his strays
will get some poor unSuSpecting Fritz
in the napper hundreds of yards be-
hind the lines. 1t generally does that's
the reason the Boches hate the man
from Erin's isle.
The SaxonS, though better than the
pruSsians and BavarianS. have nasty
rrait of treachery in their makeup.
At one point of the line where the
trenches ere very close, a stake was
driven into the ground midway be-
tween the hostile lines. At night when
it was his turn, Tommy would crawl
to this take and attach some London
papers to it, while at the foot he would
place tins Of bully beet, flags, sweets,
and other delicacieS that he had re-
ceived from Blighty in the ever looked
for parcel. Later on Fritz would come
out and get these luXuries.
The next night Tommy would go out
TO see what Fritz put into his stocking.
The donation generally consisted of a
paper from Berlin, telling who was
winning the war some timed Sausages,
cigars, and occasionally little beer,
but a funny thing, Tommy never re
turned with the beer unless it was in
side of him. His platoon got Whit of
his breath one night and the offending
Tommy lost his job.
One night a young English sergeant
crawled to the stake and as he tried to
detach the German paper bomb eX-
ploded and mangled him horribly. Fritz
had set trap and gained another vic
tim which was only one more black
mark against him in the book of this
war. From that time on diplomatic re-
latiOnS were severed.
Returning to Tommy, | think his
spirit is best shown in the questions he
asks. 1t is never "whO is going to win"
but always show long will it take?"

AN OPEN LETTER
From the Editor to the
Farmer.

We are facing a third Liberty Loan
for the sustenance of the war and
perhaps no time is more fitting to get
together and have a little honey talk
to the farmers Of our community.
We are engaged in a tremendous
undertaking, one that calls for sacri-
fee and money, munitions and sup
plies. The day for conservation has
passed and merely talking patriotism
will not get us anywhere.
1t is not believed that the majority
of our farmer folk realize this yet.
statistics show US that of the income
wealth of the United States during
the past fiscal year, AZ per cent. went
directly to the farmers. and in looking
the matter up we find that only two
per cent. of them subscribed for or
were holders Of Liberty Bonds.
We make this statement reluctantly
because we were always prone to push
the farmer forward as representing
the bone and sinew and real stability
"a IAC Soun1Js We LuouSAt AC W dS thO
anchor cast to windward.
And we don't want to think that
this lapse was intentional on the part
of our agricultural friends We would
rather hold that 1t is due either from
carelessness or lack Of appreciation
OF the condition of affairs as they real
ly are.
Shall we lay it up to selfishness or
greed or miserliness or disregard for
others? We don't want to hear the
people Of the cities say that the farm
ers are not doing their part and, in
passing, it might be mentioned that
accusations of this kind are not in
frequent
This war Is long way off which is
a good thing until we come to con-
slider what would happen in the con-
duct of some of our people were it
closer because it then would be
brought right home to them and no
matter how self-centered they were
they would be pried loose from their
SNUG satisfaction and their precious
dollars.
1t is a lamentable fact but never
theless true that sometimes a dollar
grows to such proportions that 1t oblit-
crates the whole surrounding land
scape and when we come to sum it up
In cold, hard figures, 80 per cent. OF
our farmers in this United States of
ours are war slackers. That is an
ugly term to use and strikes the ear
with a peculiarly discordant note, but
these are figures substantiated by au-
! thoritative report and the question Is.
what are you going to do about 1T be-
cause 1t is up to you"

GIRLS! GIRLS! TRY 1T!
STOP DANDRUFF and
BEAUTIFY YOUR HAIR
Hair stops falling out and gets thick,
wavy, strong and beautiful.

Your hair becomes light, wavy
fluffy, abundant and appears as soft,
lustrous and beautiful as young
girls after a'Danderine hair cleanse.
Just try this-moisten a cloth with a
little Danderine and carefully draw
it through your hair, taking one
Fstrand at time. This will
lse the hair of dust, dirt and
excessive oil and in just a few mo-
ments you have doubled the beauty
of your hair.
Besides identifying the hair at
once, Danderine dissolves every par
ticle of dandruff; cleanses, purities
and invigorates the scalp, forever
stopping itching and falling hair.
But what will please you most will
be after a few weeks use when you
will actually see new hair-f1ne and
downy at first-yes-bu really new
hair growing all over the scalp. II
you care for pretty, soft hair and
lots of it surely get small bottle
of Knowlton's Danderine from any
druggist or toilet counter, and just

ever there is an argument among the
TommieS about some uncertain point
as to whether HouGhton is entitled to
Watkins sixpence, the matter is taken
TO the recognized authority and his de
cision is final.
The two most popular games are
"Crown and Anchor" and blouse"
The paraphernalia used in Grown
and Anchor" consists of piece of can
vas two feet by three feet. This is
divided into six equal squares. In these
squares are painted club, diamond,
heart, spade, crown, and an anchor,
one device to square. There are
three dice used each dice marked the

crowd of Tommies gathers around;
then the game starts.
The Tommies place bets on the
squares, the crown or anchor being
played the most. The banker then
rolls his three dice and collects or pays
out as the case may be. If you play
the crown and one shows up on the
dice, you get even money, if two show
up, you receive two to one, and if three.

and so on. The percentage for the
banker is large if every square is
played, but if the crowd is partial to,
say two squares. he has to trust to
luck. The banker generally wins.
The game of House" is very popular
also. 1t takes two men to run it. This
game consists of numerous squares of
cardboard containing three rows Of

school, the hackers of the game de

Then the game starts. Each buyer

teen pieces.
One of the hackers of the game has

out: Eyes down, my lucky lads"
All noise ceases and every one is at

The croupier places his hand in the
bag and draws forth numbered

with that particular pumber on it,
covers the square witlfa match. The
one who covers the fifteen numbers on

other hacker Immediately comes over

The caller-out has many nicknameS
| for the numbers such as "Kelly's Eye

"Clickety click" for sixty-six, or Top

The game is honest and quite en-
joyable. Sometimes you have fourteen
numbers on your card covered and
you are waiting for the fifteenth to be
called. In an imploring voice you call
out, "Come on. Watkins, chum, I'm

Early Intoxicating Liquors.

Pliny says: "The natives who in
habit the west of Europe have liquid
with which they intoxicate themselves,
made from corn and water. The man.
ner of making this liquid differs. In
Gaul and Spain and other countries it
is called by different names, but its
nature and properties are everywhere
the same.
''The people Of Spain in particular
brew this liquid so well that it will
keep long time. So exquisite is the
cunning of mankind in gratifying their
vicious appetites that they have thus
invented method to make water itself
produce fntoXication."

Yiddish is a term used to designate
a language which Is spoken at the pres

a language, nor dialect, but jargon
the jargon used by Judeo-German
communities dwelling chiefly in Ger
many and Russia, and by the immi-

the United States. Nddish owes its
existence to the persecution to which
the Jews We're subjected in Germany
