THE SHEEP" !"

As soon as the fire burns red and low, And the house upstairs is still, She sings me a queer little sleepy song, Of sheep that go over the hill. The good little sheep run quick and soft, Their colors are gray and white; They follow their leader nose to tail For the,S must be home by night. And one slips over and one comes next, Ard one runs after behind, The gray one's nose at the white ones
 tail,
 The top of the hill they find. And when they get to the top of the hill They quietly slip away, But one runs over and one comes next, Their colors are white and gray. And over they go and over they go And over the top of the hill, The good little sheep run quick and soft And the house upstairs is still. Ard one sins over and one comes next, The good little, erev l;ttle sheep, I watch how the fire burns read and
 low,
 And she savs that I fa79 asleep.

T-NCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE
 AWAKES.

AWAKES.
 The long vacation is over and it is time once more to buckle down to school work and make the most of the opportunities that are offered to get an educatIon. Getting back to school and settling down to studying is harder than ena*"r fhe school year and entering on an end to the good things and as we move along up the ladder of fife we must be alert to benefit from all the advantages that are offered us. and there fs none going to be if any greater help in years to come than a good ed ucation secured through making the best possible use Of school days
 Children as rule do not appreei- ate what is being done for them. Unfort- unately too many do not stop to consider what school means and what a pitiful figure is presented by those who get lit tie or no schooling, for different reasons and those who are shining products of our present day schools.
 Boys and girls should not fail to real. ize what school has done for. others and what is is ready to do for them it isn't to be gained in some mystic man, ner, but through a close application tc the different studies, the displaying ot the same interest in the school work that is shown in play and sports and aiming to get out of them all that is possi- ble.
 School days dc not mean solid day, of work. Study and play are we'll di vided There is time for both and ! should be remembered that while to, much work makes Jack a dull boy, laci of interest and attention in school vii 1 make children poor scholars and handi cap them in the race of life in whicI they must participate with so many oth CTS. Make the most of the precious school days.

third is to install large one outside the city within marketing distance. The latter plan is to be discouraged unless the owner has had wide experience and success; because big plant de- mands ones being out in all kinds of weather and doing all kinds of heavy work.

In calling the sssemblage to order
Mayor Hendee had to rap hard with
his bare knuckles on the rigid oak
table top before him. Silence soon
reigned, and the business of the day
speedily got under way. Everything
vent along smoothly until that point
was reached where it has been custom
airy for the presiding officer to ask "if
any me present has anything to bring
before the commissioners" AT this
~juncture some heckling of the MAJ or
was heard, but it turned out to be not
very serious, and everybody seemed
pleased that all concerned had perfect
control over themselves.
The minutes OF the previous meeting

Reports quickly followed. ~ Finan-

chair, SHOW about widening Atlantic
avenue p"
Harry s. Dry, junior member Of the
Coombs-Dry Realty Company, then
arose s'to suggest that this would be q
good time to get the twenty additional
feet needed to make the avenue seventy
feet wide-while we have the oppor-
tunity." The street commissioner
frowned upon the Woods-Dry PROPOSE
ton to secure at present the strip of
ground needed to make Atlantic avenue
a delightful thoroughfare. He said
that ground can be acquired later. So
no action was taken looking to the
widening Of this avenue.

proposed extension south ward that the

Variety In the spelling or ones
family name once counted as no blot

The family OF course originally

And the meaning. for an the compli-

TOO CLEVER TO
SHOW HIS HAND
BY ERANZ LEnNHnEE

lunlted States Staff Correspondent
BERLIN lBy Mail. .)-Rumor has it
that General Won Ludendorn is be-
hind lne scheme in the reyOlutionist
movement in Bavaria.
lie ls, however, too clever TO let
ms hand appear openly in the situa-
lion there, just as he was too clever
TO be caught with the goods" when
the kapp Putsch came; though il
was significant he was one Of the
earliest callers at the kapp chancel-
lOry.
Many Germans believe that Luden-
dorm IS living for the day when he
could be hailed as the savior OF
Germany" But reasonable persons
from both the conservative and radi-
cal camps credit him with too much
senso TO be actually leading an
armed uprising which might only
bring entente troops pouring into The
Ruhr or an entente air fleet blasting
German cities.
The whole situation i'm Bavaria and
elsewhere does not, however, resi- in
the hands Of Ludendorff or men OF
his caliber. There are many hot
heads and these may prevail, just as
they did in the Kapp Putsch.
The Bavarian revolution" has been
touled very strongly OF late, espe-
cially since the entente insiated upon
dissolution Of citizens guards or
ganizati0ns there. There Is plenty OF
material there for a coup, bent on
re-estabilshing monarchy; there are
weapons and will organized group:
TO do the "revoluting." should the sig
nal be given. The situation Is such
that a prophecy would be dangerous
10 can only be said that most Of the
advertised lin slvance Z. revolutions
don't happen in Germany-or, II they
do. they don't last long. II is likely
that II tho reds are kept under con.
troll This winter, the POisdam Putscl
group will find little occasion to cui
loose;
However, one thing is certain. Lud
endorff isn't sitting in Munich to en-
Joy It's famous works OF art. He ism
in touch with a lot Of reactionaries
Just simply because he needs society
And. ne didn't move from Berlin e
Munich Just because Munich Is
cheaper city in which 10 dwell.
