The Children of Otker Lands.

If we visit the homes of boys and girls in other lands we shall see little yellow people feeding silfworns and picking leaves from tea plants. The Arab boy win show us his fa- ther's camels and horses and will tell us about the great desert that spreads round his home.
 In the lands ef the brown people we shall find groves of spice and the brown girls will weave pretty baskets for us.
 The Eskimo boy will show us how to crawl into his snow hut and will tell us how his father hunts the seal for food and clothing.
 We may also peep into tall straw huts and sec the black people in their far-off home.
 We shall pass by acres and acres of waving grain and climb high noun iains whose tops are buried in ice and snow.
 We shall even pass by wide fields hidden with soft white cotton and ev- cry day of our journey will bring new sights.

A Funny Experience.

One day last summer ] went fishing with my sister. We went to a place where we were sure to catch some fish. We called this place where the two waters meet" because two ponds join there, My sister and I started out in high spirits. We dug our worms quickly and started out at D. m.. knowing that was the best time.
 We came to our destination and fished for half an hour while every thing went smoothly. Then we cross ed the stepping stones and flshed on the other side. Now the current was very strong there and I wanted to get worm. I laid my pole down half on the stones and half in the water.
 No sooner had I done this than I mo- ticed my pole began to float out to- wards the middle. Without thinking, made dive for it and succeeded in getting a hold of it. But alas for me, the stone that clutched began to fall together with me as the water was pretty deep I got very wet.
 My sister pulled me out, and soon I was sitting on the sand. drying in the sun. As I was wearing a pink middy blouse my sister always refers to it as the pink middy bath"

 When she came back with the eggs she warned her mother to be careful where she put them. because the
 "Oh! no, Marian." laughed her mother, there is no danger of a rab- bit stealing my eggs
 While this talk was going on the Nelson children's little white rabbit was listening attentively outside.

Girl Workers Defended

1T Is utterly absurd to assume that
most of the war workers are not
serious girls. and girls who need the
jobs. Three-fourths of the women
who came here to accept wartime
positions have dependents at home.
or send part OF their earnings home.
Many, too, came from families with
a man in the military service. Thus
any soldier who desires to throw a
girl out of her job might be making
some chum's sister lose her position.
LAS to the soldiers carrying Odd
Glory up to the German lines, it must
not be forgotten that the women
helped. The fact that women are in
certain Jobs does not mean that there
are plenty of jobs left for those who
