BOWS AND ARROWS INTEREST

A former Scoutmaster Of an
Indianapolis Boy Scout Troop farm
ing in Tennessee, writes that he
has enough cedar to furnish bows
for all the scouts of Indianapolis.
That sounds good in these Robin
Hood days.
Scout week begins Sunday,
March %, this year.
Scouts representing fifty-six nat
ionalities will be present at the
great "Jamboree" in London next
summer. Each of the two hund
red local councils in the United
States will be entitled to one rep
resentative at this gathering. Trips
to the battle fields of France and
other points of interest on the con-
tinent are being planed for the
delegates. The object of the meet
ing is to mark the appreciation of
the restoration of peace. as well
as to make the aims and methods
of scouting better understood, and
to put the Scouts of all nations in
closer touch with one another.

In Arabia

An Arab boy lives in a tent,
He moves around,
And pays no rent.
A little boy on a sandy desert.
Was caught in a storm one day
He covered his head and lay
flat on his face
Until the storm all went away.
The Arab boy can shoot and fight
And they can run all their
might.
The Arab girls wear wells of lace
To cover up part OF their face.
A racing camel l saw one day,
He kicked up his heels and
ran away.

Tatokekiyas to Give
Indian Dances

At last we know the name of the
mysterious something for which
the girls of the Tatohekiya Camp
Fire are practicing. 1t is to be in
the nature of Symbolic Indian
dances and Campfire Motion songs.
This entertainment promises to be
of the superior sort and will be
given in the high school auditorium
in the latter part of next month.

out of her daughters room.

father, where did she go?"

Hello, what? Martha gone, too?
Elizabeth entering, Where's
Myra, Mother?"
Il don't know, dear. But do
know this-that you are never
going out tonight until we find out
where Myra and Martha are"
Time passed on. The police
and searching parties had secured
America. 1t was even rumored
that searching parties had started
out in Europe but nothing was
heard of Myra and Martha.
One morning as they sat down
to breakfast Elizabeth said, ITS
getting to be lonesome without
Myra."
Just then the morning paper
came and Elizabeth ran to get it
for her father. When she saw
the headlines she cried, ooh
mother, two more girls have disap-
peared."

Last evening, elizabeth began
in her clear voice, Marion Jones

Health!

Go to bed early,
Have lots of fresh air
Cover up warmly,
And forget you are there.
First thing in the morning,
Wash, dress and brush teeth,
When breakfast is over,
Get ready for school.
Always eat slowly
And take a small bite
Chew it and chew it,
Until it's Just right.
Our teeth must be clean,
Or they will decay
And cause us trouble
Most of the day.
We battle in warm water,
AS you can tell,
And play in the sunshine
And always keep well.
This is a cooperative poem writ
en- by the pupils of the SECOND
,rade of Sevastapol School.

His Games

George Washington liked to play
soldier. He had wooden gun
and sword All the boys had
a wooden gun too. George Wash
ington showed them how to march
and drill. He was always the
leader because he knew how to do
these things. He always played
fair. All his friends loved him.

My Garden

l took up my hoe
And | took up my rake,
! worked very hard
And a garden did make.
] set out some cabbage
And some tomatoes too,
Which grew very fast
AS they always do.
! pulled up some weeds,
But the soil was new,
So it wasn't hard work
For there were only a few.
But the nice big melons
We're the best of all,
And the ears of sweet corn
On the stalks so tall.
! planted some melons
Some corn and some beans
/ planted some beets
Which are nice for green's.
We turned on some water
Which ran down the rows,
1t helped very much
To make the plants grow.
And when things were ripe
o, then we were glad,
Of nice fresh vegetables
What a lot we had!
It's fun to make garden
And belong to club too,
Which helps you try harder,
In whatever you do.

Children of France
Welcome the New
Armies of TOYS


the month of February Is the pic
ture of the little daughter of Norma
Delza, little French girl, three
and one half years old,-shown
playing with her Christmas toys.
The toys look very much like the
toys we see in America, for there
was q doll cart, horse and cart,
a hobby horse and a Teddy Bear.
The dolls, however, looked differ
ent because they were dressed in
French style with high white bon
nets and full short dresses. There
was brave looking rooster and a
dolls bed that would make any
child's heart almost turn a somer-
sault. The headboard was very,
very high and the footboard was
very low, making 1t have a differ
ent appearance from that Of the
doll beds we have. The bed spread
seemed to be quite a fancy one, ii
one can Judge from the picture.
For the first years of the war
there were no new toys in France.
And even before the war the peo-
pie Of France had not taken much
interest in making toys. Some
one said of the toys made in France
at that time. The dolls all wore
the same smile and l am sure ex-
changed the same remarks"
Germany noticed this and her
craftsmen got to work and made an
irresistible army Of toys.
Then the war came. Many
men were unable to serve in
France in the fighting lines be-
cause they were crippled and they
thought of something. Why not
make some French toys, some toys
that were new and very appealing?
So they set to work, artists and
craftsmen, silently and busily.
In the spring of 1919 the review
of these new toys was held. And
where do you suppose it was held.
Right in the Louvre, itself, beauti-
full. big treasure house of Paris, at
the Museum of Decorative Arts.
There was a great array of toys
and they were described as being
as droll and charming and fanciful
as toys could be. Many men
wounded in the war have taken up
the very interesting trade of toy
making and France is finding out
that she, too, can make her own
toys, as America found out during
the war when the supply of toys
from Germany was cut off.
Would it not be dreary not to bee
any toys or dolls in the windows
even at Christmas time? Of course
it would. Well, the children of
France did not see any toys in the
windows of their large department
stores for four years after the
war commenced,
Then in 1918, about two weeks
before Christmas, toys were on ex-
hibition.
Mr.. Crawford of the Second Nat
ional Bank, was in Paris at
that time and he was told your
editor, how the children Of Paris
enjoyed seeing these toys shoEn
in the big store windows for the
first time since war began. He
said that the children were lined
up for two or three blocks just TO
pass by the windows and fe& st
their hungry eyes on the funny fby
animals and the prettily dress Rd
dolls. His little niece here in ne
United States is the pOsessor sOf
one of these dolls from Pal IS,
brought to her by her uncle a d
she may well be proud of it, forf it
is so daintily dressed.

FEEDING THE BIRDS

/ am going to tell you how my
father, sister and myself fed the
birds this winter. My father nail
ed a box to the top of the fence
post and filled it full of nuts. Then
we read in the paper how to nail
an ear of corn to a post so that the
redbird could eat it. My father
also tied a piece of suet TO a tree.

Indiana Truck Sales Jump Again
No more remarkable growth In
sales IS noticed in The motor truck
industry than is enjoyed by the In
diana truck manufactured BY the
Indiana Truck Corporation at Ma
rion, Indiana, says H. k. BcIdon,
local distributor Of the Indians in
this territory.
Sales increased on Indiana trucks
the past year have been frequently
reported TO range from 100 per cent
to 200 per cent in certain months,
but the Indiana now comes forth
with the handsome showing Of 3j5
per cent increase in their sales iii
the month Of January alone These
figures are attractive, they tell a
real story when it is considered that
not all truck manufacturers are able
TO show increases in their sales.
The Indiana trucks are now con-
ceded to be the coming truck and
il is predicted by those who know
from within the industry that the
future of the Indiana truck business
at Marion is very bright
The Indiana organization started
to manufacture trucks at Marion 10
years ago, making the first truck
| then and that truck is still running
today, and is hauling capacity loads
every day.
1t has been n rigid policy of the
company from the start to build re-
serve strength and stamina into In.
diana trucks which accounts for the
unusual performances and long life
common TO this truck.
The Indiana has steadily forged
its way to the front ranks of motor
truckdom because this truck is stand
ardizod to an unusual degree. The
standardization construction brings
prominently to notice the absence OF
special features on Indiana trucks
which are SO often found on ordi'
nary trucks. II has been necessary
for the manufacturers OF Indiana
trucks to resort to special features
in order TO attract sufficient atten
/ ton TO sell their product.
/ The Lndlana trucks now have q
rational distribution and reputation
and are in daily use in foreign coun
| tries throughout the world where
| they are making endurance records
the same as those in domestic use
