 I see the planets as they go swiftly around, and as it goes around I see many different colored bipeds, some white, some black and others yellow or tan.
 see many. many animals and birds at night, as that is the time I am out I see the owl, the lion and its mate the fox, and looking into nests I sec all sorts of sleeping birds. For the last four years I was watch ing the flashes of bayonets and sudden 6ashss of fire. T listened to sereaSse of the bipeds that were dying. As I looked I wondered why these different kinds of bipeds were trying to rid their planet of each other. EVERETT JONES, Age F.

 Uncle Jed's talks to Wide -Awakes are very interesting and remind me of the splendid efforts of former pas tor to instruct the children of his fold and, believe me, there was meat enough in the cocoanut" to go around
 I always read the Wide Awake let ters, and enjoy them.

Congratulations to the young Wide Awakes for having the privilege tc express their thoughts under the lead ershipship of Uncle Jed. They will know more when they try for some thing higher.

The Winter Sleepers and Their Foo

The Winter sieepers and Their Food.
 There are some kinds of animals that hide away in the winter. They are not wholly asleep all the time. The blood moves little and once in a while they take breath. If the weather is at all mild they wake up enough to eat.
 Now isn't it curious they know this before hand? Such animals always lay up something to eat, just by their side, when they go into winter sleep ing places. But those that do not wake up. do not lay up any food, for 1t would not be used if they did
 The little field mouse lays up nuts and grain. It eats some when 1t is partly awake on a warm day.
 The bat does not need to do this, for the same warmth that wakes him, wakes all the insects on which he feeds. He catches some and then eats. When he is going to sleep again he hangs himself up by his hind legs.
 The Woodchuck. a kind of n1arrnot. does not wake. yer he lays Up dried grass near his hole. What is 1t for

UNCLE JEo'S TALK TO WIDE
 AWAkES,

If you have a garden look out for the robbers that will steal the food from the things you have planted.
 Some grown folks scold about their neighbors' hens and cats. and say they can't have a garden because they will destroy it. but the grass and the pusley and the chick weed and the sorrel are the busy litle thieves that spoil crops
 Haven't you ever noticed that before the snow Is gone the grass is growing, and before the ground is real warm it is seeding, and Q hundred blades of grass can grow to one spris of let tuce, or 10 one strawberry blossom; and the grass that is such a pest in the garden is the poor relation of wheat and oats and rice.
 And the worst of the grasses in the cultivated field Is the duitch- grass, with it's sharp pointed roots which will penetrate onions or potatoes.
 The pusley is poor relative of the portulAcca, which you grow in the posey bed; and the chickweed is first cousin of the pinks, known as Joys own flower"
 And this pestiferous sorre1 belongs to the buckwheat family, and is closely related to rhubarb from which we make pies, 50 you see these weeds all belong to respectable families
 The worst fcf to any garden is the weeds. and if the garden is kept free from them we need not worry so much about the neishbor's cats or hens.
 Everything growing in garden soil that does not belong there Is stealing the food Of the good things you are trying to grow. Keep at them and keep the ground clean and loose and you will have garden of which tt be proud.

TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHT
between ARCTIC STORMS
No Tentative Date for Great Air
plane Trip-Wind Current as
Much Factor as Weather.

Official declaration is made that the
naval officers in charge of the trans
atlantic air flight have not decided
upon even a tentative date for the
start. 1t is explained at the Navy
Department that the getaway will be
controlled as much by windstorms
current at Newfoundland as by clear
weather.
After the machines reach Newfound-
land from Rockaway Beach, Long
Island, they must be given final
tuning up and then the start must
he made between storms which sweep
down from the arctic every three or
four days. The beginning of the
flight must be so gauged. it was eX-
planned, that the machines will not
overtake one storm as it slows down
before dissipating at sea, and yet
will not be caught in second squall.
Before Jumping or for the actual
crossing of the ocean the seaplan mes
will be called upon to make a longer
voyage than has yet been negotiated
by naval machineS-that from Rocka-
way Beach to Newfoundland At least
one stop will be made on that flight,
probably at Halifax, for fuel.

companies with a total of 64I men.
He was one of the first to perceive
that the horse would be replaced by

effort was due largely the fact that
Washington got an early start in mo-
torizing it's fire fighting service.
Chief Wagner has the distinction
