Where erandi.r. went. to School.

F where Grandma Went to School. | All girls and boys enjoy hearing fGrandma tell about where she went to t SC hool.s It was 8 little red schoolhouse, situated on, hill among tall trees. At 2 one side was grove where the chil- dran ataT'thelr dinner and on the other a esmai; .br-ok wound Its way among th ss stores and bushes down to the p;issJre irs stiie instance. The majoriity of the children lived so.- far from school that. they had to eaten 1t they would take off <, their shoes and stockings and paddle in the o~1ok. @ ss-' 5tss tg The hovs made little sairboats for the su;s :ss,: O. bits of wood and used leaves Ter ;ne ais. and :, then they buh:t dams and ha da merry time l:ri- til the bell called them back to their studies.
 While the children are getting set tied, in their seats we will. try and get a glimpse of the inside. The school consisted of one large room and a small cloak room. In this cloak room walls Iic,e the children put their dinner boxes and baskets. In the middle Of the school. room was a large stove which kept the place very warm in winter.s Around this st5ve the r. .i.ches were placed. There wei c ;.o wesks in those days. 'ri;'nis were. carved in every conceivable place on walls. benches. floor and even on the teachers desk.
 The teacher was man, tall and vary aunt. He was the possses1r of d long nose. on the end of which rested 6. pair of gold trimmed spectacies. He was a terror to the small children, but u tie r. -sboys he was a, hero. To them he must have faced death to learn the mysteries of arithmetic.
 The children enjoyed going to school il-,re. :- wa, so oool in summer and so

 Tire War Between Vegetables and
 Weeds.
 Weeds seem to be everywhere They overran the carrots till no carrots could be seen.
 It seemed like Belgium. was the eeetat les and Germany the weeds.
 In the next yard weeds had not made much progress, for every time too many weeds showed their heads hoe would be put to use.
 Soon the owner of the garden of weeds saw them and thought 1t time to weed it.. The owner was boy of 10, and a lazy one. -.~
 He started in. but found it such hard work he gave it up.
 His smaller brother saw the garden going to waste and asked his brother for i- His brother consented and the boy got the garden.
 The next day the smaller boy started to pull weeds. ,.
 The boy worked like America. Many an hour did the boy spend pulling weeds in the hot sun.
 At last after two weeks of hard labor the weeds were cleared.
 Many a time when weed started out to destroy some vegetable a hoe would fly out and the weed was no more to be seen. .s
 At1ast harvest time came. America picked from his garden one bushel of carrots, one-half bushel tomatoes and plenty iof other vegetables.
 Americas brother demanded half, but his father said:
 You did not take care of it. and now you cannot have it."

must say "Not'' to their wants. To tell the truth, most everybody wants more cake than Is good for them and more candy than is good for them and more "dowdy'' than is good for them. and this last refers both to food and raiment.
 | Being unreasonable is to bo without sense, or to lack the mental quality which enables one to receive not reject what is good for him. You can never make things which are contrary harmonize. You cannot eat your cake and have it. you cannot spend your money and save it; you cannc: idle and become scholar; you canc2t hirk and become capable. Order IS Heavens chalkline. and we must all walk on it if we would suc- ceed. because good order is the foun- dation of all good things"

DESERTERS DO NOT LOSE
=
LIBERTY BOND MONEY
Allotment Pay for Such Purpose
Not Forfeited, According
TO Ruling.
ATLANTIC CITY. n. >.

Il soldier who has, through his gov,
ernm.nt by allotment of part of his
pay. made partial purchase of liberty
loan bonds does not, upon desertion
from the Army, forfeit his right in
such payments. The law distinctly
provides, however, that a. deserter
shall forfeit all deposits Of money de-
posted with the Army to his per-
sonai account.
THE balance of unpaid pay and al
lowances actually due a soldier at
the time OF desertion, and any sums
of money which he may have deposit
ed with dsbursing officers OF the
Army, are forfeited by desertiop,"
says {. NJ. Force, assistant controller
Of the Treasury, defining the law.
He then rules:
But in the absence of any specific
provision of law that the desertion
works a forfeiture of the sums OF
money he has in good faith paid on
liberty bonds. such sums have vested
IN him, subject, however, to set of
on account of any actual indebtedness
of his TO the United States"
Assistant Controller Force holds the
view that the transaction in liberty
bonds is between the soldier and the
bank which has accepted the account.
and that the government has no inter-
est, acting only as a go-between, or
agent of the soldier
