Of stars.

Why Coffee May Be Considered Both
As . Blessing and Curse
to Guatemala.

Guatemala. which has been econorn-
Ically and in military sense one of
the most powerful OF the five Central
American states ever since II was the
seat Of the old Spanish viceroynl gov
eminent for the entire region. Is a
country both blessed and cursed by
coffee.
Coffee is n blessing to Guatemala in
that It has brought much money into
the country and has made the plnn,a-
tion-ownIng class exceedingly pros
porous.
Coffee, too, may be considered in a
sense curse to Guatemala because
Its production dominates every other
activity In the republic. and Is the in
direct reason therefore for failure to
develop most Of the country's other
resources.
Though the plateau country Of the
southwest apparently could be made
to produce wheat. -four Is imported. A
number Of other food products that
could be produced are also brought In
from outside.
Cotton could be grown on large
areas but only comparatively small
amount is produced. The greater part
Of the cotton cloth and yarn needed
Is imported. The raising Of cattle and
sheep. the growing of almost all trOp-
icai. semi-tropicaI, and temperate zone
fruits, and mining. are all Industries
that could be developed most profit
ably.

The Daily Fun Hour
Old Witch Week

This game traces back to ancient
folklore, antedating the Christian
era. In it's most popular modern form
one player is chosen to be Old Witch,
one to be Guardian, and seven others
are named for days of the week. If
there are more than nine players
names of the months may be added.
The Guardian goes to the sever
players (the Week Days., and recites
the old patter.
Sunday, take care of Monday;
Monday take care of Tuesday;
Tuesday, take care of Wednesday,;
Thursday, take car of Friday;
Friday take care of Saturday.
l charge you, Week Days, every one,
To keep all safe till l come home!
Then the Guardian goes away and
the Old Witch comes, saying, Sunday,
your Guardian forgot the satchel, and
sent me back to tell you to give it TO
me-" While Sunday goes for the
"satchel" the Witch runs off with Sat
urday. Then the Guardian comes
back, counts the days, Sunday, Mon
day, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday-'and demandeds, where
is Saturday." The others answer
"The Old Witch stole Saturday"
The play starts again, the Guardian
going away after repeating the charge
emitting Saturday. The Witch comes
back, asking for another article. This
continues until all the players but
Sunday are stolen. The Guardian de-
mands their return. The Old Witch
denies having them until all appear
from behind the Witch, who runs,
pursued by the players. The n who
tags the Witch becomes Old Witch
for the next game.

The Summer Bird

XIII EEP! Peep!" The sad little
sound came from beneath a
big snow drift on which Jack
and Janet and Dame Instinct were
standing. Peep! Peep! 1 am so cold!
Peep! Peep! I am so hungry!"
Dame Instinct warned Jack and
Janet not to make a sound. AS they
listened the clear whistling of Little
Curly-Head came afar. The bird in
the drift answered as if hooking. ooh

Jack and Janet set to digging with
a will, making the snow fly in a cloud
They dug until they came to the
leaves, but found no bird.
Deeper" urged Dame Instinct.
They dug into the leaves, and all of
a sudden came upon the hiding bird.
He vas crouched shivering and shak-
ing in a little nest followed among
the leaves.
Peep! Peep! Now l am a goner,"
chirped the bird family. "a dog, or
a fox, or a wolf is after mel" The
bird tried to 1utter away, but he was
too cold and weak. Jack picked him
up and held him for Dame Instinct
to see.

"Of course you can't" said Dame
Instinct. "You eat insects and fruit

things and knows where to find them
even in snowy weather. Judge Owl

What shall l do?" walled Cat
Bird. II can't fly to the South now,
and I am freezing and starving in

winking at Jack and Janet. "If l
should find you a warm place to stay
with plenty of food, would you earn
your keeping by singing every day?"
II would sing from morning until
night" promised Cat Bird.
"Then come with US, and l will see

Janet.
