A DEBT TO HEROES

The Fifth Liberty Loan, to be float.
ed next month, will be known as the
Victory Loan, and in Cordova the
drive will be conducted under the
auspices of the Council of Defense and
the WDmans loan committee, shortly
to be organized by Mrs. T. ]. Donohoe,
territorial chairman.
Victory is not merely a matter OF
jubilation, accepting surrender of a
beaten foe and dropping the gun to
take up the plow share in the furrow
where it stood when the call to arms
came.
The Victory Loan is one of the
many great obligations that come to
the victors. President Woodrow Will
son and the members of the American
peace delegation are now in France
looking after the world obligations.
Our part now is to prepare to pay in
small measure the debt we owe our
khaki and blue-clad champions.
A, large part of the money to be
raised in the Victory Loan campaign
next month will be used for the re-
Mobilization of our wounded men. The
government will do its utmost to re-
store every wounded American SOL
der and sailor to health and self-sup-
porting activity.
When the wounded man has been
given complete medical and surgical
treatment he will be considered by
the federal board for vocational educa-
ton. If his disability prevents return
to work he left at the call of the gov
eminent, a wide choice of occupation
is open to him.
If the injured man needs an arti-
fetal limb or appliance of any sort the
government will provide it. Until
his special treatment or training ends
he will receive regular compensation
and the family will receive the allot-
ments. The war risk insurance will
be paid until the end of the vocational
training if the course is elected with
out necessity, but in this case the
allotments viii not be paid to the |
family
Instead of finding dependent Grip
Piles and beggars made so by an I'M
appreciative country, they will be
highly trained heroes whose sacrifices
Will not be furnished by lack of graft
tude.
If you are worth victory prepare
now to buy Victory Bonds.

The failure of passage of the sundry

ka during the fiscal year beginning

ate suspension of activities in this d.
vision, but it is probable that certail-
ment of construction work will be-
come necessary before additional
funds can be obtained from congress,
which must be called together In extra
session before the end of the present
fiscal year to act on pressing financial
needs of the nation. There is some
money still on hand, but to what ex-
tent this can be applied to active con-
struction will not become known prob
ably, until the return to town of En-
gineer in Charge F. D. Browne, who is
now in the Kantishna country. 1t is
safe to assume, however, that Mr..

advantage, with a view to keeping as
many men on the payrolls as possible.

STRANGE ANIMALS OF THE
, ~ WORLD.

The reinder is familiar to most
children because of The legend Of
St. Nicholas that seems so appro-
pirate for Christmas day. The fam
lily name of this animal is Caribou,
and it Is primarily native OF Ice
land and Greenland and the north
countries of Europe. The specie
that is found in North America is
really the Woodland caribou, that
grows to be about four or five feet
long and about three feet high. 1t
has elongated horns with tips dila-
ted and palmated
In Lapland and other far north
countries the people dispense with
the horse, COW, oxen and sheep, as
the reindeer furnishes all these
needs. It carries the traveller swift
ly over the snow. 1t gives rich milk,
from which cheese and butter are
made. Its hair and skin furnishes
clothing, shoes, harness, other trap
pings. and tents as well.
The reindeer, when wild, travels
in herds varying in number from
eight to several hundred animals
When going from one spot to an
other across the country. the deer
travel toward the quarter whence
the wind blows. Reindeer swim the
rivers and lakes and many Indians
catch them in traps hidden near the
shores OF the water. The Eskimo
catch them in queer traps made of
ice and snow.

Pet Pigeon.
By Mildred Swanson, Age 10, Valparaiso.
[ thought l. would write to you
about my pet pigeon. We named it
Pete; it was all white. Papa got it
when it was little at one of the
nelghbors. and we put it in cage
for a week, and when we let it out
it was very tame. 1t would do lots
of funny tricks. When papa was
building the garage it would fly and
sit on his arm or head and stay for
quite a while; it also would sit and
eat out of the hand, and when the
car was outside and running it
would fly and sit on the radiator.
But one day this fall our cat got
taste Of it and that was the last of
my pet pigeon.

In Danger.
BY Forest conover, Age 8, Rexfford, Kan.
Dear Busy Bees: Frank was
Mr.. and Mrs. Iohnson's oldest son.
Early in the fall a little brother
came to his house to stay. Before
this time Frank had been their only
son for 10 years.
The little brother made Franks
life much happier. One day in the
winter, after a weeks snow storm,
Frank thought he would make him
sled. but he did not succeed; so
he had his father make hin, one.
He thought he would have a fine
ride by hitching his sled on behind
his papa's hay rack. He tied his
sled on behind the hay rack and
when his papa started he jumped
on his sled.
Frank thought it was fine fun to
lie down on the sled and ride. His
dog, Shep. followed him and would
get across the ropes and fall. Com
ing back Frank got, tired of lying
down and would stand up on the
sled Pretty soon the sled hit
against stone and Frank fell down
and got tangled up in the ropes.
He was knocked unconscious. His
dog saw him and tried to get the
boy loose BY biting the ropes, but
he could not get him out. He then
ran up 10 the front of the wagon
and barked until the father stopped
the team and got out and found
the boy.
When Franks father found him,
Frank was stu unconscious, but soon
got all right again. Franks father
always felt very grateful to old
Shep for saving Franks life.

was playing till it was dark, when
his mother called him into the

He dreamed that he had a strange
adventure with bear. He thought
that he was enjoying the quiet even-

him hunt gold. 1t seemed very
funny to Jim, but he went with the
bear. The bear led him into cave

Himself in a cave file, with gold.

Meanwhile Jim set to work and
Soon had pile OF gold beside him.

Kindness to Birds.

By Herbert Anderson, age IL, Stromspurg,
Seb.
Dear Busy Bees--One day last
spring the boys in our school were
tormenting some little birds with
sling-shots and air rifles. They did
nor care if they killed them or not,
to put them out Of their misery.
Some of the other boys and | made
up our minds that we were going
to stop this cruelty, so we told them
how much they were wronging
these helpless little birds, and that
these little birds bad as much right
to live as they did. They laughed at
us and called us "goodie boys" but
we decided to take all, this and try
our best to prevent this. At last
they stopped and we found all the
little suffering birds. some having
broken wings and legs. A while af-
ter watering and, feeding them we
noticed that soma of them futtered
around as il they wished to be set
free. I'VE freed all that were able to
fly. OF course, some died, but there
were great number we saved. :
They now have flown to the "Sun-
ny Southland" but / am sure they
will return in the spring.

Winter Days.

BY Mary Dyba. Aged 49, 4o1s South
Thirty-fifth Street. South Side.
Here is a poem that popped into
my head When | watched-the snow
whirling around our school house.
1t seemed good enough to me so |
thought I'd send it in to our page,
because | haven't written for al
most a half year:
Hear the wind a-shrieking
The window panes a-creaking
Now you know that winter time is
= nigh
Watch the snow a-falling
Hark the barn owls calling;
Listen to its ever mournful cry.
The days are dull and dreary
Makes YOU cross and weary
Oh, but won't you praise that bless
ed hour
When all the birds be a-singing
And all the flowers springing
While roses bloom on every bush
and bowerr
