Stories the Dewdrops Told

States School Garden Army has it
in its power to be big help to the
nations in the task of feeding the
world. Every garden added to the
number planted last year means an
other step toward lasting peace.
"The boys and girls who have Lib
erty gardens in 1919, the GardeAArmy
officers who assist in keeping the
army efficient and the teachers who
direct the work, will render patri-
otto service to be compared only with
that of the men who won the war"
Now after Dolly had heard the mes
sage, which Fatherbob said was fine,
she went into the garden.
81 wonder if everybody's garden has
Dewdrop Fairies in it, said Dolly to
herself. They make it so inter-
est-ing." Dolly was very proud of her
long word. II wonder if l shall see
enc today. I wonder"
Dolly would have gone on won
dering" if she had not just Their seen
the very person for whom she was
looking. She was sure at once that
this was Fairy. 1t stood just by
the side of the path. 1t was not
standing still, but was moving gently
from shide to side, without taking
it's feet off the ground. 1t was very
graceful, and very, very tall--for q
! Fairy, that is. It must have been
as tall as Dolly's longest finger. 1t
was lady Fairy, dressed all in light
green. The dress was very tight
fitting, and had long train. Some
pointed green feathers were in her
hair. Her hair was beautiful light
gold color and as soft as silk.
"You are right about this garden
said the Fairy. 1T is a very nice gar
den. You should he proud of Bob and
Billy for working so hard to make
everything grow. And you needn't
wonder about the Dewdrop Fairies.
They are in every garden If people
will only look for them. Do you
want to look into my dewdrop?'
Instead of pouring the dewdrop out
of watering pot, this Fairy held
, it in her hand. It filled her hand
quite full. It looked like bright
diamond. Dolly looked into 1t and
gave a great start. You will never
guess what she saw. She saw
many men with red1brown skins and
veryblack hair. They had feathers
in their hair. They were dancing. Be-
sides seeing them she could hear mu-
sic that was not like any music she
had ever heard before. It was molly
humping, like drum, but there was
kind of tune that the men seemed
to be singing.

PEARL HARBOR A
GREAT NAVAL BASE
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)
Honolulu, Aug. 11.-War against
the United States will be made al
most prohibitive for any oriental ma
ton through the establishment at
Pearl Harbor base here of the greater
part of the new Pacific fleet, accord
ing to naval authorities. The arrival
of the feet late in August, 1t was
declared, would make Pearl Harbor
one of the greatest naval bases in the
world and the most important to the
United States.
Naval authorities have said Hawaii
affords the only possible location for
strong naval base in the Central
Pacific ocean for a distance of 1000
miles. 1t lies approximately $500
miles off the American coast. II Ha-
wall were in the hands of an enemy,
according to local authorities. that
nation could harass and threaten the
entire Pacific coast. To guard the
Pacific coast against an enemy &C.
cupying Hawaii the United States
would be compelled to keep a fleet
many times the size required with
Hawaii as an American base, it is de-
clared.
With the United States in control of
the islands an oriental nation moving
against the United States would be
compelled to work from a base 1000
to 5000 miles from the American
coast instead of the Hawaiian coast
only $500 miles off.
Pearl Harbor where the base is
situated, is considered one of the
best 1t has an area of 10 square
miles and depth of more than so
feet. 1t is landlocked and ships
within the harbor are out of view
from the sea. The great new drv-
dock just completed will be official
ly opened by Secretary of the Navy
Daneils when he arrives with the
fleet. 1t is 1929 feet long, Is 1ss
feet wide and can handle any ship
afloat or contemplated.
The war department also has am
pie sites at the channel entrance and
already has engaged on the construc-
ton of protecting defenses. A con-
siderable army force also is main
tanned in the islands.

PART THE VERY TALL FAIRY

PART 1.-THE VERY TALL FAIRY
II really think our garden IS the
incest place in the world, said Dolly
II did look very pleasant in the early
morning Dolly's brothers had worked
very hard, helping the gardener. The
gardener had grumbled because so
much more ground was put into the
garden this year than usual, bu. Bob
and Billy had heard great deal
about gardening in school and they
had told him they would do much Of
the work.
Their teacher had told them about
the people far away who were Gtarv-
ing because of the great war. All the
men of these countries had been
obliged to fight. So there had not
been as many crops raised as usual,
and now the women and the little
children could not get enough to eat
The people of the United States had
promised to help, so everyone who
had any ground was making gar
den. The school children had been
allowed to use vacant lots and had
raised many vegetables. The girls
and boys had all worked together in
the gardens. The girls were learn
ing how to can vegetables SO that
there would be plenty for next wir.
ter.
Bob and Billy were leaders in the
United States School Garden Army
and they had listened eagerly when
their teacher read to their company
message from Secretary Lane.
Bob copied the message because he
wanted Fatherbob to hear it. And,
then, too, Bob wanted little Dolly,
who told him about the Dewdrop
Fairies, to know that Secretary Lane,
from his Office in Washington, had
sent special message to the Army
in the Field
This Is what the. Secretary OF the
Interior wrote to Bob and Billy, and

MUST OBEY THE LAW

While several resolutions appropri-
ating money for collateral sewers in
various sections of the city We're
being disposed Of by the Board of
Aldermen last night a general inter-
change of opinion regarding the fact
that numbers have failed to avail
themselves Of the use of sewers now
that they have been brought to their
doors was INDUCED in 1t was also
announced that the health authori
ties had found many houses in Alex
ardria situated upon severed streets
which are not connected The own
ers may soon be cited before the Po
ice Court to show cause why they
should not be fined for ignoring the
law which made it obligatory upon
them to tap the sewers after The
year 1915.
During the early summer Of last
year a large number of persons who
had been derelict in this matter were
summoned before the Police Court to
answerlfor their negligence. Each
case was Investigated. and the de-
linquents assured the court they
would obtain permits forthwith and
have the connections made A we'll
known plumber Of the city was pres.
ent at the hearings. and the bulk of
the orders were gwen to lin there
and then. 1t was not deemed neccs-
sary to impose ines in any cases.
A number VINO had assured the
court they would comply with the
ordinance failed to do so, however,
others procured permits bu: failed to
have the work done.
AS the war was then in progress
labor was exceedingly scarce and
plumbers experienced diftic, 4lty in
procuring toilet fixtures, hence, it VAS
difficult to force an early compliance
with the law, but the war is now 4
thing of the past, and these inter-
ested would do we'll to attend this
matter at once
Spring is drawing near, and the
names of de!inquents will be turned
ever 20 the authorities in the near flu
ture. Those who have made no ser
ious attemnt tc comply with the law
should not regard it as 4 hardship if
Ike penalty is assessed against them
There are times in the history OF
all communities when it is difficult to
bring about an immediate compliance
with all laws. but it seems that our
People have had more than 4 reason
Tie time to improve their premises
by availng themselves Of the benefit
Of sewers. The City Council has
spent thousands Of dollars in intro
ducing these necessities into the COM
munty. and. as stated, number OF
resolutions were introduced last night
providing for the construction of
others. The sewer tax. in I measure.
reimburScs the city fos' It's outlay.
and propcrty-owncrs. under the ordi-
nance, are required to pay their nra-
portion and make connections.
The time for attending 20 this I'M
portant matter i growing shorter al
the time, and failure to comply with
the law will be at the cost Of those
who are ignoring 1t.
