sieves for each tree and placed them

The handles were bound tightly and

Small lady apples with their bright

Is over, perhaps you will be
VI looking around for ways and
/ means Of finding further amuse-
ment.
There are many ways for boys and
girls to entertain themselves, at home
or outdoors.
In the home you can play games
Checkers is good game, and is played
by millions of persons. Chess is great
game. and is played by thousands.
The reason that chess is not played
by SO many persons as checkers must
be because it is harder to learn. I have
taken part in both games, and 1 think
that chess is far more interesting. If
you can find some one to teach you
chess, by all means learn it, You will
fnd it hard work, but if you learn it
well the day will come when you will
have a rich reward.
Making things is another home pas
time Boys can obtain books from pub
lie libraries telling how to make model
airplanes and any number of other
things. If big brother should become
| interested in working with tools, he
might set his kind heart to work and
make a doll house for his little sister,
letting her tell him as nearly as she can
how she would like it built.
Books make fine companions during
vacation or at any other time. boy
or girl who has not read "Heide" or
Hans Brinker" should do so at the first
opportunity. The books called Little
Men" and Little Women" also make
good reading "Ruggles of Red Gap"

long ago.

ski jumper in one day. Men have
jumped more than $50 feet with skis,
but they 60 through long. slow training
for years before they try such jumps.
If you go to an ice-covered lake. be
sure that the ice is thick enough to
hold your weight before you walk or
skate on it. Many poor child has
, lost his life by breaking through the ice
into the cold, cold waters.
high school I had friend who was
one of my comrades on the school de-

America, only when the 25th comes on
Sunday. But in England the day after
Christmas is always set aside as a holl-

In that country they always have two

Christmas day. and second, the Goth or
Boxing day
1t has always seemed to me that
Christmas deserved this double GELS
bration, permitting the festivities to
continue two days. There are SO many
preparations for the greatest of all fes-
tivals that it is almost impossible to
crowd into the 25th of December all
the good times one would like to have

completely forget the girl you are talk

you understand boys. Don't set your

with women. Don't take any girls

think that every friend she has will

Don't think that girls are easier to

monopoly on dancing partners and
boy friends and at the same time be
much appreciated by girls. Remember
the more men like YOU, the harder it

above all. remember that vaunting

Leaders Doubt Capital Levy
Program if Roosevelt
Is Elected.

Gov Franklin D. Roosevelt II elected
President, will not attempt any pro-
gram of private property confiscation,
the Taxpayers Union was told in re-
sponse to inquiries to Gov. Albert c.
Ritchie of Maryland and Owen D.
Young concerning the position Of the
Democratic candidate.
The union had asked Ritchie and
Young If "RooSevelts demands for
redistribution Of wealth and bold and
persistent experimentation meant that
he favored using the power CT the Fed
eral Government to take wealth from
certain persons and distribute it to
other persons"
The Ritchie letter was quoted as say
ing:
Il received your favor of October 20,
asking my opinion whether Mr.. RooSe
welt, If elected, would have a program
for capital levy or wealth confisca-
tion. Personally, 1 am confident that
he will not favor any such thing. But
the best way for you to inform yourself
definitely on the subject is, I think, to
write Gov. Roosevelt yourself. l am
sure he will be glad to answer"
The Young letter:
Il have no thought that Mr. Roose-
welt is the kind OF man who will be
subject to influence either of individ-
uals or of groups. conservative or rad
ical. If did, l would not support him
for President. l believe him to be
man Of sound intelligence fine intui-
tions, deep sympathy. adequate under
standing and real independence. That
is all we can hope for in any President.
Because I think he has these quail
fcations, have no thought that he
will resort to any program of confisca-
tion on the one side, or that he will be
oblivious to the needs of masses OF
human beings on the other 1t will be
easy to say that that sentence is a
straddling one, but the fact is, you
know, that witt. the great resources Of
