JUMPING BEANS FOR GIRLS
Sick and Wounded Veterans in New
Mexico Hospitals Are Hungry
for Cheer Letters.

Trained to leap through hoops and
stand unhitched, thousands of genuine
Mexican jumping beans are awaiting
girls of the United States who will
write little letter of cheer to dis
abled soldier. The exchange of letters
for jumping beans is being made
through Herman G. Baca, Santa Fe,
N. NJ, adjutant Of the American Le-
gion of the state.
Five thousand sick and wounded
veterans of the World war. recuperat-
ing In hospitals in New Mexico, have
trained the beans. The young men
are terribly lonesome, Mr. Baca writes,
and they will SEND q bean to every
girl who will write a letter to them.
The jumping beans are dark brown,
somewhat larger than the ordinary
bean. The animation Of the vegetable
is caused by tiny worm that crawls
into the bean and consumes the edible
portion. After the worm Is dead the
bean keeps on jumping.
