They Like to Work.
Another thing we like about our

When we first moved out here we
were assigned detail of three bows

could not make fires, cut wood and
do everything when we had to make
q thousand doughnuts a day But
the detail soon proved unnecessary.
for we had more help than we could
use.

we found out otherwise Some boys
like it. We used to ask for volui-
