pursued this policy until he could get
a duma that would take his orders with
out protest. That was the way things
were done in the old autocratic Rus
STA. Now the autocracy has been over
thrown and we are told that Russia
is in the hands of the people-the peo-
pie being Lenine, Trotzky and few
others. But under this class Russia
doesn I seem to have progressed far
beyond the methods of the old ear.

THE ANT EATER.
81 MACY GRAIIAM bOtiNeR>

II am the great ant eater, also
sometimes known as the ant bear,
and I wish to tell you a story"
The great ant eater had been
walking along on his queer feet, wav-
ing his long and bushy tail. He had
been eating all the morning and had
captured many of the bad kinds of
ants which live down in South Amer
lea. They are different from the ants
we see.
He had had an excellent meal He
was smacking his lips, and anyone
could have seen that his mouth was
so small it could not have taken in
much at q time. But the ants knew II
was quite big enough for them.
And they knew how his front claws
could tear open old logs where insects
liked to live, and how his claws could
dig up the ant hills.
"When any of my family have been
captured" he said. 1--WE are fed on
milk, ground meat and eggs. But we
prefer ants and insects and delicious
little crawling things"
Now the great ant eater was talk.
ing to an ant hill. He was standing
at one side, addressing the little ants
who looked very nervous.
Il know you like to hear me talk
he went on, and'the ants admitted they
did. They much preferred that to his
eating. And they were so afraid ht

SCHOOL ENROLMENT AND WAR

ompiled by the department of the in

igures from l,4l1 and G96 counties OF
districts show an increase of close TO
the normal amount of two and q half
per cent in elementary schools. In
nigh schools, however, the increase Is
only one-fourth OF the usual nine and
a half per cent.
Such increase as there is in high
school enrolment IS caused by the girl
students. Fewer boys are enrolled this
year IN every class in high school
except the fourth apparently there is
a healthy tendency for boys in the
senior year to remain and graduate

"Ve could do without you,'' said one
brave little ant.
What's that? What's that?" asked
the ant eater. "Dear me, I will have
to reward bright little ant like you"
Thereupon he opened his mouth and
took the little ant upon his tongue.
That was the END of the ant, so the
others kept very quiet.
well" said the great ant eater,
that was delicious little appetizer.
| enjoyed that wee taste very much.
But / will have to have more. I
haven't tried this hotel lately"
This he said as he went to corner
of the ant hill and looked at number
of the ants going this way and that.
And he said it just as though he would
be welcome guest who would pay
large prices for his food.
"Ah," said the ant eater. as he swal-
lowed ant after ant, "what does it mat
ter If l am tOothless? They often say
1t IS sad to be without teeth but what
care 1? l can always have soft food
the kind | like. And I am not help
less. No, my claws do my carving and
digging and marketing and my tooth
less jaws do the rest"
And as the ant eater boosted of his
splendid pnwersaef eating he lived ur
to his remarks by eating all Of the
guests of the hotel,
He found another corner and began
again, but after Il time he had haC
enough of ants, and went to q los
where he found some delicious worms
also of the insect family.
Good claws are useful, but teetl
are foolish" said the ant eater aftel
he had finished his gigantic meal.

GRAHAM BREAD NOT WAR BREAD
Two Recipes for Ccrnbreads Made En-
tirely Without Wheat.

There has gone broadcast over the Unit
ed States a feeling that graham bread or
whole wheat bread is the thing to eat on
'wheatless day Graham bread is very good
but ii is wheat bread Ii merely has more
OF the original wheat grain in it than
our ordinary white bread. To eat corn
breads made entirely without wheat
would be following the rule of "wheatless
day to the letter. Two Of these are the
following:
Sour milk corn bread . cups cornmeal,
, cups sour milk, l tablespoon vegetable
OIL, | tablespoon sugar, | II teaspoons
salt, / egg, l teaspoon soda, tablespoon
cold water, Mix the cornmeal, sour milk,
oil, sugar and salt Cook in a double
boiler or over water for ten minutes.
Cool, add the beaten egg and finally the
soda dissolved in the cold water Bake
one half hour in a shallow iron or gran
tie pan.
Crisp corn breads cups milk. tea
spoon salt, ! ID cups cornmeal Mix
| the ingredients and spread in shallow
creased pans to about one fourth inch in
depth. Bake in moderate oven until
crisp.

visiting an old log and they knew he
had had all he wanted. But his appe-
tite was likely to come up again any
moment.

little ants looked very much pleased
But that makes no difference" he
went on, and the ants looked sad.

eating things that have to be chewed
and digested [ eat soft, crawling things.
just like you, dear little ants"
The poor ants grew very nervous
again. When Mr. Great Ant Eeater be-
gan to talk about eating. and called
them dear little ants" it made them
worry.
That sounded too much like another
meal and they did not want to see him
cat another meal. for it would mean
that they would be taken into his
funny little mouth.
II looked like the smallest of
mouths, but it could hold plenty of
them, they knew. And his claws
would soon start digging them out Of
the Hill where they lived.

The Date of Easter.

The annual inquiry as to date Of
Easter has appeared. Here is the an
SWer:
Much might be written upon this
subject but it may be sufficient TO say
that Easter fixes all the other NOV
able feasts i'll the church. To quote
the church rule, - Easter dav, on which
the rest depend, is always the first Sun
day after the full moon which happens
upon or next after the 2lst day of
March; and if the full moon happens
upon q Sunday, Easter day is, the sun
DAY after Il win BE seen that, Under
this rule, Easter may come on any date
between March % and April %, both
inclusive. Thus in 1883 il came on
March % and in 1887 ON April %, a
date which it viii not repeat until 1913.
This year Easter falls on March 81 and
next year the date Will be April 90.

With all of the demands for men in
military service YOU would suppose that
in exceptional eases the red tape might
be stretched little. Here is Harold
Bemis, Shel5urne Falls, Mass, boy,
passing the examinations for entrance
to the aviation corps with j mark of
81, and being rejected because he was
four pounds under weight. Napoleon, if
alive today and anxious to serve, un-
doubtedly would be told that he was
50 small that here there was no place
for him
