UNCLE JED's TALK TO WIDE
 AWAKES.

h
 The wide-AwaEes have of course been having a long vacation. Some have spent it one way and some another There have been those who have been to the shore to the mountains to the lakes to the big cities, and there are others who have stayed al home. Some others have put their time to the best use and have something to show for it. It is to be. hoped. however. that the long vacation has been beneficial one in many ways
 With the closing Of vacation has come. the opening of school and some of the best months of all the year are before us, for autumn with it's clear sunshine and invigorating air is the best time of the year for work There will be plenty of that on hand. too. for going to school is work-fts a real job and a job that should be done right There is lots of fun with the associations and games, but down at the bottom there is hard. steady work hidden away
 Let's admit that school-eoing is a job, and add that it's a hard one. too. Every bodys got a job of some kind. you know, and that's what keeps the world going around We'll this school business is the boys and girls job, and it is their par ticular affair to see that they make a good job of it. At least they can make good start It is often said that job well begun is a job half done. At any rate. it is more than likely that the rest of the yeae will take care of itself. if the first few weeks are taken seriously and | the school work is tackled in a way to do a good job
 If you set out to do a lob, always do good one Therefore. begin the year with a determination to do each days s tasks at the time allotted and stick to them Don't let things go till some other time-there is only one good time for do- ing anything. and that time is now. i Make up your mind to get the most pos sible out of school for you win or lose according to what you get,

The years have sped since first you stood In straddle-legged puppyhood- A watchdog. proud Of your renown. Who backed SO hard you tumbled down. In Age's gain and Youths retreat You've found more teamwork for your
 feet
 You drool souncon less and harkI There's fuller meaning in your bark, But answer fairly. whilom pup. Are these full proof of growing up2 I heard an elephantine tread That iarred the rafters overhead: Who leaped in mad abandon there And tossed my slippers in the air? Who, sitting graveiy on the rug. Espied microscopic bug And stalked it, gaining bit by bit Then leapt in air and fell on it? Who gallops madiE down the breeze Pursuing specks that no one sees. Then finds some ancient boot instead And worries it till it is dead? have no adult friends who choose To gnaw the shoestrings from my shoes Who eat up tw1ne and paper scraps And bark while they are taking maps. Oh Dog. you offer every proof That stately age yet holds aloof Grown up?
