A NEW GAME @CHICK.FOODY

A concern in Chicago, Ryde &
Company, who manufacture chick
foods, have applied for copyright on
a very novel and interesting game
called Ryde's Chick-Food Game.
This game is simple enough for
the children, but likewise interest
ing enough for grown-ups, for it is
not only amusing, but educational
as well.
The game constitutes a board
about 16 inches long by IL inches
wide, likewise a spinning wheel
and four metal chickens. The color
designate each player.
The game takes the baby chick
from the time it is born and brings
it on through to it's maturity. that
is, until it is considered a laying
hen.
One of the interesting features Of
the game is the penalties which one
incurs for doing certain things,
such as keeping the brooder too
cold, and emitting fresh air, allow
ing the water to become foul. On
the other hand, the reward for such
things as protecting the chicks
from draught and commencing with
good healthy stock. It is these lit
tie points which educate a person
in the bringing up and raising of
their chicks.
The game can be secured from
Ryde & Company, 5434 w. Roose-
welt Road, Chicago, by anyone. All
that is necessary is to include ten
cents for the cost of packing.

A MOTHERS PLANT

I have longed to fly like Lindbergh
To fly to the heights of fame,
To see in a blaze of glory
Like flare in the sky-my name.
I have longed to paint a picture,
That for it's wondrous power
Would hold in its spell all nations,
And its fame would rise like a
tower.
I have longed to write a story
That would reach into all the
land
That would raise mems eyes to the
hilltops
And ever star-ward-I planned.
But no, must sit in the ashes,
And my darning needle ply.
I must scour and sweep, and sing OF

cedar is entitled to as much respect
as though it were called by any
other name, including even "the
juniper tree" e. H. Lane, of Alta
vista, Virginia, adds interest to the
story of red cedar in a booklet he
has issued in which he tells of hay
ing obtained an old cedar chest
whose origin has been traced back
to more than one hundred years ago.
This chest was made of genuine red
cedar a full inch in thickness"
writes Mr.. Lane, who says he TOOK
the bottom out of the chest and sent
it to Government authorities to test
it to determine the surviving oil con-
tent. Il was not surprised" he OBJ
serves, when a report came back
showing that the wood still contain
ed nearly two per cent of oil"
The red cedar tree in Virginia
obtains height of about fifty feet,
and the fine red fragrant heartwood
takes a high polish, so that in the
manufacture of cedar chests it rivals
the beauty of mahogany, birch, wal
nut and maple. Mr.. Lane writes in
his booklet that he has been success
full in making the finest furniture
for living rooms, dining rooms, hall
ways and bedrooms out of Virginia
red cedar. Its use in cabinet work
and inlaying, have been among the
most important features in home
decorations for the past year or two.
Nature is bountiful prOvider, and
a very Wise one, too; as all must
admit when they study the unique
characteristics of red cedar. The

Boys and girls clubs throughou
the country are now starting out t,
make their triumphs in raising rec
Ord-breaking crops. Late next fal
the champions will be given FIRE,
trips to Washington to see their Ma
tiOnal Capital, and to meet the Pres
ident and other officials of the Ma.
tional Government.
The records attained in all these
,crop-growing championship contests
were due to the careful tilling of the
soil, and liberal uses of scientific
fertilizers.
The seeds must be carefully selec-
ted or they will not grow successful
crops.
The Agricultural Department at
Washington has issued bulletins
which tell how Semesan has been
used as a seed treatment for corn,
cotton, apples, potatoes, vegetables,
cereals and grasses. Good seeds in
sure good crops providing all the
"details of fertilizing, planting and
cultivation are not neglected.
There are lots of ways by which
girls and boys can get their fun and
pleasure out of life. But it is doubt
full if any class of our American
youth has harvested a larger crop
of genuine pleasure than the young
boy or girl farmer who has seen the
fruits of individual effort rise up-0ut
of the ground and grow and mature
into substantial profitable food for
human beings.
Thousands of these youngsters
have been able to put it over on dad
in the matter of successful farming.
The Juniper Tree
Last Christmas a beautiful COM
munity tree was set up in Chevy
Chase Circle, where the District of
Columbia joins the State of May
land. Hundreds of colored electric
lights helped to make a glowing
picture of Yuletide, to the delight of
this great residential section of the
National Capital.
But 1927 had not disappeared from
he calendar before a protest filed
he columns of Washington newspa-
Ders and it was taken up and re-
leated and re-echoed throughout the
,ity and across the broad State of
Maryland. Prominent citizens were
placed under arrest charged with
cutting down a juniper tree"--think
# it, a juniper tree.
At the trial it appeared that for
st warden had given permission to
ut down the tree, and the Judge
vas told that it was a cedar tree, H
nut that if he preferred poetry to
ractical American prose that the

When the defendants were dismiss
