THE STORY OF BETTY
AND BEN
Part !
"BottY and the Blue Birds

oSvIJ anu Iue duo olIus
Now this little story, of what
happened to Betty many years
ago when she was only two and
Ia half years old, will tell how
the gardens and fields on the
dry hot prairics, grow 50 beauti-
full and green without the re
frcshing rain to give them a
drink when they were thirsty.
Bette lived with her papa and
mamma and big brother Bonnie.
Bonnie was twelve and seemed
such a big boy, most a man to
baby Betty He helped his father
in the fields and garden. He
helped mother with heavy house
work too, but he liked best to
attend to the bic irrigation ditch
that watcred the farm. That is
In dreadful big word for little
folks to remember. 1t (the irli-
cation ditch ! mcan) was very
deep, away mp the valley where
il took the water from the spark,
ling little creek and carried it
to the farm. But the water
could not get into the ditch IN
less the gate was opened. Now
hear you laugh! as though
water could not get through a
gate. But you see it was a
water gate. and very much diff
ferent from your yard gate.
Bettie's papa knew just the
right time to give the garden and
fields a drink, they did not have
to cry con please, please give
Ius a drink, we are so hot and
thirsty" No indeed. it came
creeping in around their tender
roots so cool and pleasant at
just the right moment.
One hot day early in June
baby Betty was playing about
the yard and lower garden, the
little ditch that ran around the
garden was dry as no water had
Vashon Island news-record. [volume] (Vashon, Wash.) 1919-1954, 1921-11-11

been turned into it since last
summer. Betty loved to run up
and down these little bitches
which were like deep paths. To
day she went much farther than
usual, and found just the love
lest, silyery sand, to play in.
When she stood up you could
have seen just the top of her
little pink sunbonnct above the
rim of the ditch, but sitting at
her play, wcll-thcre just WASH t
any little girl to be seen any
where, She built little hills and
big mountains, patting them into
shape with her tiny dimpled
hands. The sand was so warm
and pleasant to feel Presently
Betty took off her pink bonnet
and put it on one of her big
mountains, it looked so cOmical
she had to laugh. Growing tired
at last she put her curly head
on one of the round sand hills
and looked into the sky. How
deep up" it looked and so very
blue like a pretty bowl. There
were birds away up in the sky
too and then all at once some
blue birds flew low across the
garden and Betty thought of the
pretty blue bird plates mamma
had on the pantry shelf and she
called the sky her "bluc-bird
bowl" A large blue bird flew
down very close to Betty saying
why don't you come and fly
too?" "Oh," said Betty Chow
funny l would look flying with
pink rompers. "Not at all, "
said bird, "Come try it, "
and he reached down to help
Betty. She lifted her arms and
was surprised to see how easily
She foated into the air. Up, up,
She sailed with Blue-b bird at her
side, how fine it was to fly, how
sweet the air. The blue birds
were singing, so Betty sang too.
Then all at once she felt herself
falling. She cried out to the
blue-birds for help but they
Ihad vanished, not a bird was in
sight. Down, down, she whirl-
ed through the air. She looked
below. The fields and garden
were gone, and in their place q
great lake sparkled in the sun.
oh, she cried, 81 shall fall IN
the water, Oh! OH" and in her
terror she screamed with all her
might as she struck the water,
it splaShed over her face chok-
ling her, and binding her eyes
she gasped for breath, clutching
the air as if for life. Then sud
denly she felt herself lifted in
strong arms and opened her eyes
wiping the water away with her
little hands pushing back the
drenched curls the better to see.
She was being Rugged tight to
| Bennie's wet shoulder.
Next week "Bennie and his
Boots" will tell what had hap
pened to Betty and how it hap
pened.)

The Lost Word

Look as you may through our
advertisements of the past
six months and you'll not
find the word Sale" men
toned. It's a lost word to
Mayer advertising except in
February and August. But
when we do use tive mean
a SALE-and all that the
word implies.
Evening star., 1921-01-30

We cant put the whole
store in the paper
land simply because we don't put
certain articles in our ads
doesn't mean that they are
not At the sale prices.
On the contrary-whether you
see it in our ads or on our
six great sales floors, every
piece of furniture bears the
sale price.
Evening star., 1921-01-30

In this time of frenzied "Sa1es when it is hard to
know the real from the make believe" it
is comforting to know that there is one Feb
ruary Sale that may be depended upon
Mayors February Sale of Lifetime Fur
niture.
Only two Sales a year-but both worth while-is
the policy that has guided US, policy that
has gained the confidence of the people of
Washington and made Our February Fur
niture Sale notable event.
Every piece of Lifetime Furniture is at sale prices
And marked at such unusually low prices
as to make it prudent to buy this month.
The only exceptions are few articles on
which the prices are factory fixed

Our Offer
A Guarantee of Price

Our buyers have just returned fom Grand
Rapids, Chicago and other cities,
where they have carefully investigated
the conditions existing in the furniture
industry. The knowledge they gained
of these conditions places US in posi-
r. ton to make this offer.
We guarantee our February Sale prices
against decline for six months. That
is-if prices of furniture decline further
than February prices within six
months, we will refund the difference.
Mayer & Co. feel that this guarantee is due

this institution.

"such participation as 1 have in
mind would not call for the assump.
tion of any obligation in strictly
European affairs. 1t merely contem-
plates friendly advice and mediation
in those affairs which do not involve
our own immediate interests. and,
further, contemplates, of course, our
adoption of a courageous and liberal
attitude with respect to such mat

I join In underwriting the peace of the
world by promising to go to the aid
OF france in case of unprovoked ag-
gression on the part of Germany
such an assurance would relieve
France of the heavy burden of an
enormous army. would remove what
l believe is the greatest element Of
disquiet in the situation, and the re-
suit would be a far-reaching reaction
ameliorating the existing European
difficulties. both political and fnan-
cial.
Personally. I do not believe that
france or any other European nation
is imperialistic or militaristic at the
present time. All want peace more
man they want anything else in the
Worid, but after two invasions within
MY years france feels that she must
MAINTAIN large army to protect
herself from future misadventure un-
less she can rely on other guarantees
against it. If these guarantees
should not be forthcoming and If
france. tha therefore. should feel under
large army. then it would be per-
1ectly natural that a militaristic
sentiment should develop in her.

am aware of very natural in
disposition on the part of the people
OF america to make any commitments
with respect to Europe. On the 9TH
er hand. l cannot imagine any situa-
tion in which the United States could

the Germans. and. therefore, if that
danger should materialize, / believe
the United States unhesitatinRly

TO me. therefore. it seems evident
that advantages of the most far
reaching Importance may be obtained
by underwriting the security of
France. to start with, instead of being
impelled 70 assure it after an attack

upset the equilibrium of Europe and
the world. Such Intervention could
