Then Dumps showed them how he

.sHERMAN's GARAGE.

. When you want the ills if your au-
tomobile attended to, you want service
and not guess work The repairing
of an automobile or putting it in per-
feet working order is too important to
risk it with inexperienced or untrain-
led workmen. Just because there is
garage and some tools and machin-
cry in it, is not always fact that
the men working there understand
their business well enough to correct
~ repair or overhaul an automobile.
Faulty repairs in many cases have
caused future accidents to cars and
serious injuries to the people riding
in them. The Herman Garage has
demonstrated its efficiency in automo,
bile repairing by the quality of the
work it turns out from its garage and
repair shop. This is because it has
the best trained and most experienced
automobile mechanics in Redwood
Falls in it's employ.

A MAGIC PEA.

There were so many peas to shell,
with company expected to dinner Pol
ly sat looking at the green pods, her
face clouded. Such stupid work, press
ing open pod after pod, and letting
the peas roll into the big tin pan.
Polly said to herself that she wished
all peas came canned
Polly's neighbor, Elizabeth, made
her appearance as Polly sat scowling.
She paused on the steps and took in
the scene.
"Oh," said Elizabeth, Smelling
peas?'
yes"
Polly's tone was very gruff.
Want me to help you?"
Eyes, If you don't mind?"
Polly had the. grace to look little
ashamed of herself.
Elizabeth pulled up the chair.
What shall we .play?" she asked.
Play? Why, we can't play till we
have shelled the peas.
''Why, yes, we can. I always play
when I'm working because that makes
it SO much easier" Il
Elizabeth wrinkled her brows re-
fiectively.
Il know" she exclaimed.
"What?" ..
why, we'll pretend that a good fai
ry has been along and that in one oil
these pods is magic pea. Whenever
you rub it, you know, the fairy will
appear and help you out"
How shall we know it,"
Polly was getting as excited as il
there really were such thing as &
magic pea.
It'll be larger than the Others re
piled Elizabeth solemnly. "And il
will have little brown spot on the
side"
How their fingers flew! Pod after
pod was emptied The peas kept
rolling into the tin pan like SO many
little green marbles. Several times
Polly thought she had found the mag
ic pea, and then their laughter rans
out like music. And when in the very
last pod they opened, there actually
proved to be a rather large pea with {
brown speck on one side, the girls
fairly shrieked in their delight
Polly's mother came out on the
porch to see what it was all about
and she could hardly believe bel
eyes.
What? the peas shelled already!'
she exclaimed Il thought Polly must
have forgotten about her work wher

THE CHlLDREN,S HOUR.
THE NEW FAIRY.

= 81 ts w. 4
Once upon time there was queer
little elf named Dumps, who lived all
by himself in dark little house down
in valley Ever since he could re-
member, things had gone wrong with
him.
He shivered in the cold and kick
ed the coal bucket when the fire
wouldn't burn. He howled when he
stumbled over his own dinner pots
that he had left sitting in the mid
die of the floor, and he scowled when
the other happy elves went by, with
out speaking to him.
He and his family had lived like
that for years. When any elf want
ed to describe something very sad he
would say it was Down in the
Dumps and so Dumps went on with
out a single happy day.
But the elves decided, suddenly. to
give party. Oh, it was going to be
| very jolly party indeed, and Dumps
heard about it. Almost every elf who
| passed was whistling, or singing some.
| thing cheerful. And some, of them
were carrying their best green suits
to the Wood Fairy's house to be
pressed. And when Dumps heard
about the party he cried SO loudly be-
cause he knew that he wouldn't be
invited that the Wood Fairy heard
| him. The noise disturbed her SO
much that she went right down tc
| Dumps house to see what was the
matter with him now.
| Tell me all about it from the be
ginning, my DEAR" she asked poor
little Dumps.
Il can't see the sunshine!' Dumps
howled. t saf
"Of course you can't said the
Wood Fairy. "Your windows are dir
ty. Get some nice spring water il
your little pail and wash them"
Dumps had never thought of do
ing that. When he washed the win
dows the sunbeams streamed in like
| a golden ladder
rs there something else the mat
ter?' asked the Wood Fairy
| my wood won't burn, even though
i kick the coal bucket every day,
Dumps sobbed.
4 We'll, do try blowing the fire." thu
Wood Fairy suggested.
| Dumps had never thought of doins
that. His bellows were stiff, but hi
blew them very hard and, crackle
there was a nice bright fire and his tie;
kettle began to sing.
is that all?' asked the Wood Fairy
\ ooh, no." Dumps sighed 1.-THE 9th

not invited"
1T is for all the elves and 20,

Fairy said. Stand up straight ant

along, my dear"
So Dumps started up the hill tt
the party, laughing all the way, TO.
he just couldn't stop. You see he hat
SO many years of being one of thu
Dumps to make up for. He laughed
until all his wrinkles were gone ant
he was pulled out with happiness. HI,

lin as a Common Bond.

It is not surprising that the United
States. where almost every variety of
eatable has found its way into tin
cans for preservation, should use
nearly two-thrds of the total produc-
ton of tin in the world. But it may
be an unexpected discovery to find
that the South American country, Bo-
livla, supplies about one-quarter of
the total output. In consequence, Bo-
livia. a producer, wants to make
friends with the tinusing republic
to the north, and more so now that
the United States has its own smelters
to refine the ore, an innovation due

ton hopes to secure loan for COM

SHALE ACCEPTABLE AS FUEL

Countries

Railroads in Esthonia seem in fair
way TO discard coal in favor of btu
minous shale. a substance common
enough in geological formations To
make the Esthonian experiment widely
interesting. Lacking coal, the EsthO-
nian provisional government has been
investigating the possibilities of shale,
and, as the report comes by way of
Helsingfors, shale is now being used
for a good many purposes. The gas
factory at Reval. for example. is using
shale exclusively for making gas. But,
so far. shale has not been adopted
as fuel, and wood is being burned
in the fire-boxes. The factory prob
ably waits to see how completely Shale

shale, and 3 marks for a pood, or

against 30 marks for the same meas
