Among the might forests Of the

western larch. and It often grows
to be 200 feet In height and six

long stretches OF cold marsh land
we find ynany larches. their branches

these rise a tuft of soft ncedle.like
leaves that form a green rosette or
pompom.
You will find the end twigs have
needle leaves scattered tho whole
length. just as tho leaves OF the
spruces. At this season will appear
the purplish corn flowers and yellow

Dear Happy: l am going to tell you
what we did on st. Valentines day.
We had whispering contest the
month before Valentine day. Norma
and Hazel were choosers. l was on
Hazel's side. Our side was the silver,
Norma's side was the gold. The gold
side won and on st. Valentines day
they gave a party.
After last recess the gold side put
some hearts on the blackboard. They
had reading on the back OF them. l
was the first one to get one. We had
TO read what was written on the
heart and do whatever 1t said. | had
to comb Blanche's hair.
The gold and silver decided TO have
a contest. So the teacher drew a
large heart on the board and placed
in 1t number of small hearts with
numbers on each heart We made
some arrows to shoot with. The gold
side won. The score was 90 to As.
Then IL was time to pass out valen-
tines. I got six valentines.
After all the valentines were passed
out we went home. We all had a nice
time and wished we could have an.

Alfred

Alfred was a little boy who didn't
teeth nor keep his hair tidy. He
didn't like to pick up his toys nor
eat his food neatly. One night after
he reached Dreamland, the Tidy
Angel visited him. You cannot stay
with clean people any longer" she
said. Go and find your brother"
'.I have no brother" replied Alfred,
who was an only child.
Run along to the garden and find
your brother" repeated the Tidy
Angel. Are you my brother?" AL
fred asked the bluebird in the tree.
Il should hope not" said the blue
bird. Look at my feathers and see
how orderly my nest Is" Then he
flew away.
Are you my brother?" Alfred
asked Rover. who sat in the sun.
II take a bath in the pond every
day. And | come when I'm called.
I'm not your brother
"Hullo, brother" called a voice, and
there stood Piggy Grunt.
I'm not your brother" said Al
fred.
Indeed you are" cried the pig.
Just look at yourself. Come roll
in the mud
Il don't like mud" walled Alfred.
Just look at yourself" advised
the pig.
Alfred screamed for the Tidy Angel.
will you be clean and live In the
house with me?" she asked.
