work in our own home garden. love
to be out of doors.
I have a small patch Of soil myself,
and lettuce and radishes are peeping
up to take a look. at Mr.. Sun. Do you
ever stop to realize how wonderful ma.
ture Is. and how small seeds, X care
fully planted may become food for you
and I? Mother Earth will perform many
wonderful feats IL we will only let her.
The trouble with you and is that we
are too slow to take advantage OF these
facts.
Many times a person will say TITS no
use! never could raise a good garden,
and what things do come up are later
than anyone else's. II your garden IL q
poor results examine the soil. Maybe II
isn't rich enough and IL not. secure q
proper fertilizer and I'm sure you'll
have better success the following year.
Did you hoe the garden and keep II
free from weeds? II you did not try 1t,
and you will have better results, I'm
sure.
/ intend to save my money this sum-
mer and buy Thrift Stamps. Are you
going to do the same? And there's one
important thing that I'm not going to
forget to do and that Is, to pray for
our gallant soldier boys somewhere In

Charmer.

Dear Juniors:
AS I have not written to the Courier

school compositions. The subject is
1.-The Animal Charmer"
One evening as native Of India was
walking in a valley he heard a loud
noise. Looking around he saw seven
animals approaching. He knew that II
he didn't do something before they got
to him they would devour him. He
looked down and saw horn. He pick
ed it up and started to play upon It.
When they came to tho place where he
was standing the monkey climbed the
banana tree and looked very happy.
The bear, the wolf and the tiger began
to dance. The elephant twisted his
trunk in his happiness. Tho rhinocer-
GUS kept opening and shutting his
mouth in his amazement. The muskrat
who had been left behind came rum
ming fast toward the player And the
moon smiled down on the happy sight
AS this is the end Of the story will
