HOW JANE HELPED UNCLE SAM
By AIthea Nightingale.

The writer of this story, a little girl in the Everett School of Boston, has worked hard to prepare something suitable for use in connection with the work of selling War-Sayings Stamps. Her idea of raising flowers to be given to wounded soldiers, as well as the plan of 8 vegetable gar den for the conservation of food, will doubtless be adopted by many other girls and boys.
 Once upon a time there waa little girl whose name was Jane Clarke. She lived in little village outside of Boston.
 Jane was always trying to help her country. One day she was sitting on the doorstep wondering what to do. She said, q have bought Thrift Stamps and War Savings, but that is not enough" She looked around the yard. Just as she was going into the house, feeling very discouraged, a bright idea struck her. Jane jumped up. running in the house as fast as her little legs could carry her. Mother! Mother!" cried the excited child. Her mother came down stairs and Jane sat down by the fire place to tell her story.
 Mother" she began, slowly and distinctly. ~I have bought Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps. I think I can do more than that I thought perhaps you would let me plant a garden in the back yard. will your" Why, yes," answered her mother smiling.
 The next afternoon Jane began working in the garden. There was one place in the yard which she had not used. Her mother told her that she might Cse that to plant some flowers.
 It did not take long for the flowers and the vegetables to grow. After tho vegetables were all dug little Jane took them to the Food Conser- vation Club and gave them to the peo- pie there to can After the people canned them they put Jane's name and age on the jars and sent some of them to Washington. and inc rest Jane sold and bought Thrift Stamps. She took some flowers to the camp and gave them to the wounded sol dferB who had been fighting lover there"
 One day Jane received a letter from Uncle Sam, thanking her for her thriftiness, and along with the let ter came a button which said, "Thrif- ty Jane Clarke. >12 years old, is a little patriot"
