Juniors Give Home

In beautiful spot in old Pales-
tine, is big, comfortable house.
where a great big family of lonely
little Syrians, Armenians and
Greeks are cared for by the Junior
Red Cross. They are lonely be-
cause they are orphans, made or
phans by the war and they had no
home worth living in, until the
Red Cross found them.
Isn't it fine to think that be-
cause many American boys and
girls like you, saved some of their
money from candy and ice cream.
they could send this money across
two seas. and give to those thin,
sad-eyed little waits some bread
and butter, so that they would not
starve to death? OF course we
might have given lots more than
we did, and we know there are
many, WHO, for some excuse or an
other, did not give anything; still
it is good to think that because
many American Juniors were gen.
crous, some little lives were saved
from starvation. Many of these Jul
niors will receive letters and pic
lures from these little children that
live in the country which is dear. to
the hearts of all those who be-
lieve that Jesus was born and lived
all his wonderful life in that little
country. From the roof of this
Red Cross home, one can see the
hill around Bethlehem, where
Christ was born.
These children were very hun
cry and almost without clothes to
wear when the Red Cross took
hold of them, and now, they are
growing healthy and happy in their
comfortable home life. And all this
happens because of the work of the
Junior Red Cross all over the
United States. 1t happened because
many hundred Juniors thought they
would rather say, II saved the life
of a little pal over in Palestine"
than, Il had an ice cream cone or a
chocolate soda every day, last sum-
mer."
According to a census taken re-
Gently by the American Red Cross.
there are still 10000 children. that
are homeless on the lonely coast of
Syria.

Tie FAIRIES Gift

All at once there was a "chink"
In Harriet's lap. With shout the
little girl hoped out of her chair,
and went dancing about the kitch-
en- holding high in her hand a tiny
gold locket and a slender gold
chain.
"And to think, grandma, twas
right in the middle of my ball all
the time" cried Harriet. But you
said the fairies would bring it,
grandma"
80 they did, dear" laughed
grandma. spreading Harriet's
brown fingers on her knee. "See,
here they are! And these ten little
fairies will work greater wonders,
if you will let them, than whole
shopful of storybooks."
Just my own fingers after ALI"
thought Harriet, as she ran over
the snow toward home, her red bag
swinging on her arm and her
FAIRY" gift about her throat.

The Vanishing Dime

This is a clever trick and may
be done with good effect in the fol-
lowing manner: Previously stick
small piece of white wax on the
nail of your middle finger, lay a
dime on the palm Of your hand and
state that you will make it vanish
at the word of command, at the
same time observing that many
persons perform the feat by letting
the dime fall into their sleeve, but
to convince them that you have not
recourse to any deception, turn
your sleeve up. Then close your
hand, and by bringing the waxed
nail in contact with the dime it will
firmly adhere to it. Then blow up
on your hand and say: "Begone."
and suddenly opening it and ex-
tending your yalm to show that the
dime has vanished. Brooklyn

Richards Reason

I've really, truly story
Which l will tell to you,
It's about young Master Robert,
And his brother Richard too:
While mother dear was working
In the kitchen, one fine day:
The children in the parlor
Were busy at their play.
Soon mother sensed a difference
Intense quiet now did reign.
She went into the parlor,
The sight filled her with pain.
Beside the big base-burner,
Fire shovel in his hand,
Stood, grinning, Master Robert,
And upon him she did land,
For he'd shoveled all the ashes
From the stove upon the floor.
And really you can't blame his ma
For feeling rather sore.
As soon as she had settled
Her account with weeping Bob.
She turned unto her other son.
Who now began to sob.
"Why didn't you tell mamma,
AS you know you ought to do?"
Said wise old Brother Richard,
HE didn't want me to-"
Anonymous.
AS I said in the beginning this
is really, truly story about two
little brothers. two and four years
old.

A STRATEGIC BIT OF
HIGHWAY

m T is satisfactory to know
~ that the surveying work
on the Echo-Pendleton
road has been completed and
that bids for the construction
of this road will soon be asked
for. This road constitutes the
most important highway pro-
ject on the program in Umatil-
la county because of the many
interests that will be served by
its construction.
Being built down the river
the road will provide a trunk
highway serving the people on
both sides of the river between
here and Echo, thus opening up
large territory that has here
tofore been almost inaccessible
from the county seat.
The Echo road will provide
for the first time real road
between Pendleton and the
growing empire in the West
End. 1t will produce a situa-
ton of benefit to all concerned
and the extent of this benefit
will become greater as years go
by.
Another feature in connec-
ton with the Echo road is that
it will provide a scenic drive
for the tourist travel that gives
promise of being on with great
intensity in a short time. In
place of having a road which,
in late summer and fall, has
been characterized as the
worst in the state we will have
one of the finest driveways to
be found in the northwest. The
early completion of the Echo
road and of improvements be-
tween Pendleton and La
Grande are indispensable if
this section of Eastern Oregon
is to hold its own in the mat
ter of tourist travel. Every
month this needed work is de-
layed works for the diversion
of auto travel to other routes
thereby jeopardizing the fu-
ture tourist business of this

TOO LATE

NN1E do not understand the
" intricacy of world poll
tics, we must keep aloof
from Europe, say opponents of
the League of Nations.
That was not bad doctrine
prior to 1917. But during the
early months of that year we
learned that we could not keep
out of world politics nor out of
a world war.
The new map of Europe was
made in America.
If we do not understand
world politics it is time we
made world politics under
standable.
The advocates of isolation
are too late.
