The Helpful Trio That
Always Makes Friends

ELLEN, the new girl in our class
is going to be popular sure" Ger
trude said positively. "She is so
kind-hearted."
"How did you find out so
soon?' asked her mother.
"Well, Ellen speaks and smiles
pleasantly to everybody, and es-
upecially to that forlorn little Nan
Brown. This afternoon, when
Bess had trouble with her geom-
etry, Ellen helped her over the
hard places with the teachers per
mission. And on the playground
Ellen ram and picked up one OF
the primary children who had
fallen and told her a funny story
to make her forget to cry
"Ellen evidently has the help
full trio that will always make
friends for her, mother said
"The kind heart, the kind hand
and the kind voice"
This wonderful trio works best
all together. To feel kindly TOWARD
others will do them little gooC
without some outward manifesto
tion. TO speak kindly is a steI
further on the good road; for {
kind word can cheer and strength
en- and put courage into a dis
cOuraged soul. But these two reacf
their fullest measure of usefulness
when the kind hand puts theil
good intentions into practical
helpful service.
The kindly feeling, the loving
sympathetic word-our Lord die
not stop with these. He event
, about doing good" The long
beautiful record of His deeds O.
kindness and love and mercy holds
up before us a shining, gloriou:
example that we may well try al
our lives and with all our heart
to follow.

A Profitable Midwinter Picnic

Did you ever try cooperation in
ice harvesting? 1t works like a
charm. Get one or two Of your
neighbors to 60 into such a scheme.
One pond or stream and one set of
tools will answer for all. 1t is
much like midwinter picnic, for
"many hands make light work. I"
These midwinter picnics make
midsummer picnics more enjoy
able, for the ice that is stored can
be used to great advantage at such
affairs during the hot season. On
every farm there are many uses
for ice. The dairy farm can
hardy do without it.
The equipment necessary for
harvesting and storing ice consists
simply of saws, tongs, and iron
bars for pushing the blocks Of ice
around. Nearly any shed can be
made into an ice house if drainage
is provided and "a plentiful supply
Of clean, dry sawdust or similar
insulating material is used. The
United States Department of Agri-
culture can supply complete in
formation on the proper way OF
storing ice.

WINTER NIGHT


Bring in the logs and pile them higher!
Push up the Windsor armchair, so;
Draw the highIbacked settle higher
And gather in the irelight's glow.
The sharp snow stings the window glasses,
The keen wind tries door In vain;
He pulls the shutters as he passes
And lulls and sighs and turns again.
Bring the carved oak nut bowl in
And those red apples we We been keeping;
Lay on a fagot; you begin
And spin story while it's leaping.
Outside the bitter winter PAGES;
His frost and cold but add delight
To hearth fire bringing well-loved faces
Home again to its warmth tonight
