FIND A BEE TREE.

Sunday morning | had book or a
paper | intended to take to a neigh
Dor, but started off without it. Think
ing of it | turned back through the
woods. Hearing bees, looked up and
saw them going into a hole in tree.
| like to find bee trees. | think they
give me good luck. / used to hunt
them in Bee County, Texas, and found
lots of them there. The name is as
suggestive of bees that since leaving
there / have never had the heart to
hunt them, though the county was not
named for them, but for a big Mexican
general-Gen. Bee. The name sug-
gests something else to me and that is
if the right girl could find a moon, we
could together have a honey moon,
provided my bees do well and make
lots of honey.

THE WANDERING FAIRY.

written for the Pea Ridge Pod.)
By Dorothy Grave Bruce Beck.
She spread her wings so white
And flew day and night,
Resting on trees so airy
So travelled the Wandering Fairy.
All the flowers were her bowers;
From them she slipped the honey,
The dandelion's gold she used for her
money,
Laughing, happy, merry;
So Travelled the Wandering Fairy.
Far away she few,
Quite near the sky so blue,
Ger many seas, by many trees,
| couldn't tell them all
And greatly did they vary
But so travelled the Wandering Fairy.
At last she arrived at Sloan Springs,
And settled down to rest her wings,
She espied The Pod across the way
And thought that here is where shed
stay,
At least for a little while,
That its readers she might beguile
By telling adventures, all very true,
OF the many lands which she passed
through.

on the same plan that the streets of
Washington City are laid off. The
rows run in three different ways and
can be cultivated that way, instead
of two ways when laid off square. His

By this plan he gets about nine more
trees to the acre than the old way.
Also if you take any tree in the or

it will be seen to be on line with
trees beyond it. In other words each
tree is hub from which radiate all

The Ostend channel, which the Brit

concrete-laden cruisers. opens like the
neck of bottle directly upon the North

three large basins and several smaller
ones, is about $500 feet long and $50
feet wide at its narrowest point, eX-
panding to mouth 400 feet wide.
The waterway is kept free from the
shifting sands of the shore by two pro-
tecting moles fianking 1t east and west,
while the town to the west is protected
by a sea wall at the foot of which are
the bathing establishments.

Beyond the beaches on the south the

Greed For American People IN Holy War

! OF its world importance and their Vita
concern In II are broadening as our
participation in it become greater
This western drive has startled them
| into anxious interest. When they hear
that we have only little more than two
hundred thousand fighting men to help
our English and French allies to resist
the onslaught of two million German
troops and to Withstand more artillery
than ever was massed in the world
history, they feel like apologtzins to
Frenchmen and Englishn,en., They are

Of which ! have been speaking will In

Our people must brace themselves
with the spirit of the Roundhead. They
should see no goal but one. This is
holy war. AS we go to church to renew
expression of our love of God, and our
faith, in the coming of his kingdom, so
in every patriotic gathering we should
declare our love of country and our
faith in its victory over evil in this
war. Our creed might wen m like
this:
First I believe in our country as the
great exponent of the rule of the people
and find its vindcation in their happi-
ness and power for good.
Second I believe that the vicious eff
fort of German militarism to seize
world control imposes on our country
the duty of utmost endeavor to destroy

Third. believe that our noble allies
have been fighting our cause since Au-
gust, 1914.
Fourth. believe that a treaty Of
peace made with the kaiser would not
be worth a scrap of paper.
Fifth. believe that the enormous
sacrifice of life and treasure to the
German frankenstein of war cannot be
justified in the providence of God un-
less we defeat William of Hohenzollern
and his Potsdam gang.
Sixth. I believe that until that de-
feat, we can have no permanent peace.
Seventh. I believe it to be the whole
