LIKES tfORK . DONE BY SQUIRREL ; Once upon time there was a Mulrrel who lived with his wife and two children. They were very poor. One day Mr. Squirrel started out to hunt for work. He passed In front of Mr. Bear's house who had a sign up, "I want somebody to work for me." Mr. Squirrel asked Mr. Bear If he could work for him. Mr. Bear said he could because he thought he could tend to his own work. Mr.j Squirrel ran home to tell his wife that he would begin the next morning. The next morning he did his work ko well that Mr. Bear told him he could work all the time. So that was how he got work. If you are honest and tend to your own business there Is always a Job waiting for you.

Three-Face Town No. 6 - Here is the Windmill of Three-Pace Town. Paste the pictures on a piece of white paper. Color the stone walls, grass and arms of the mill with your crayons or paints. Sometimes you will find it easier to copy these drawings much larger on another piece of white paper before coloring. After coloring, cut out each figure separately. Now fold in the center as shown by the arrows and paste each figure "back to back" so that you will have three mills made into one, which stands alone and faces in three directions.

THE GOLDENROD ' Of course you all know the goldenrod, the queen of fall flowers. But do you know that there are seventy-five varieties of that plant scattered over the United States? No onder it has so many champions as a national flower. The trouble would be to choose one of the seventy-five varieties for the honor. All goldenrod is not "golden" The common varieties with their attractive yellow plumes are true to the name, but others combine white, blue and grey in their foliage. One variety has blossoms that are cream colored, nearly white. Another is known as the blue stemmed goldenrod. and the grey golden rod is so called on -account of the greyish green stems and leaves. Contributed by BENJAMIN WILLIAM BURR Starr School ROSE TELLS ITS MISSION Once I was a red rose. A little girl passed by. She said, "How pretty this rose is. I think I will pull it and take it home to my mother. How pleased she will be." So she pulled me and took me to her home. When she got me home she put me in a vase of water. The vase was very pretty. Then she set me on the stand In the front room, and when her mother came In she saw me. And they kept me until I withered and died. MILDRED JONES . . Finley School

The Red Arrow

As White Otter and Sun Bird were watching from the woods, the small hunting party of Pawnees came riding towards them and dismounted within bow shot, leaving their ponies with a guard while all the others, Including Little Raven, started out on foot. But soon the captive Sioux pretended to have sprained his ankle so he came limping back to the guard who was very close to the hiding Indians, and there Little Raven told the Pawnee guard that since he was injured he would watch the ponies while the other -could Join In the hunt As soon aB the Pawnee had disappeared the boys gave the call of the bush-bird, and in a moment were together. And before the hunting party could realize, the three Sioux were racing for their freedom across the plain. Although the Pawnee warriors pursued them hotly, the wiley lads outwitted their enemies when night came on, and the escape was complete. Then, since the sacred troCut And Paste OUR TRIP Robert H., Ray W. and I went a rabbit hunting and we did not catch any so we went back home. And on the way back we came to some apple tree. And we stopped to get some apples. When we had all the apples we wanted we went on, and we stopped on the way and played In a gravel pit for a long time. And then we went on home and we did not get a thing to eat. JOHN BARKER Whitewater School. WHITEWATER GIRL MAKES APPLE FRITTERS One cup flour, two teaspoonfuls baking powder, three tablespoonfuls sugar, one-fourth teaspoon ful salt, one-third cup milk and one egg. The cooking class made apple fritters. We first peel, wash and cut out the core, and cut the apples into cubes. We sift the dry ingredients and then we add the wet Ingredients. When , we get them made we take a sauce pan and have deepfat to fry in. We let it get hot and then we drop them In. If we want them round we drop them off of the end of the spoon, and if we want it long we drop them off the side of the spoon. They get brown and we take them out and drain them. We put powdered sugar on them. When we get our dishes all done we go home. MILDRED WIRTS Whitewater School !

Sun Bird entered the corral and selected three swift war ponies, and White Otter entered into the very heart of the enemies' camp and cut the Red Ar

The Sandman Story for Tonight

ELSIE'S DREAM Elsie Sweet was most of the time a very good little girl, but one day she did something that her mother punished her for by sending her to her room and closing the door. Elsie took her fairy book and sat in a big chair by the window. She looked at the pictures of the fairies and the goblins, and wished she could be a fairy and fly out the window and not have to stay in when her little playmates were Out in the sunshine playing. A bee flew up on the screen and buzzed and buzzed until Elsie thought she heard it speak. She listened, and sure enough the bee kept buzzing "Want to come out?" "Of course I want to come out," said Elsie at last. "But I can't; I am being punished for doing wrong, so I have to stay in my room." "If you want to come out, listen to me; for I am in league with a little faire-e" buzzed the bee again, and this time Elsie said "Why, of course, Mr. Bee, I want to come out." Elsie looked at the bee, and it seemed to change into a dainty little creature with a beautiful yellow dress and gause wings, and in its hand it held a wand. "Why, you were a fairy all the time wasn't you?" said Elsie. "Come along," said the fairy smiling at Elsie; "Just touch my wand." Elsie reached out her hands and touched with the tips of her little fingers the wand which the fairy held toward her, and away they sailed right out through the window and over the tree tops into the deep cool woods. "We will have to wait until night to take a ride," said the fairy when they had landed on a mossy bank in a dell in the woods. "Oh! are you going to take me for a ride?" asked Elsie. "I don't be lieve you have a carriage large enough, have you?" "You will see," said the fairy. "The Queen sent me for you and nhe never begins anything she can not finish." Just then the Queen and, oht so many little fairies Elsie could not count them, came crowding about Elsie. The Queen was In her chariot of mother of pearl, and it was drawn by eight tiny white rabbits with pink ears and noses; she guided them by ribbons of pink and white, oew Y Sfe ATc s HIS and in her hands she carried a gold wand with a star on the end of it "Jump in, Elsie," said the Queen. "It will soon be dark." The chariot looked very tiny to Elsie, but there seemed to be plenty

row from the center pole of the medicine tent But Just as he was leaving a huge dog sprang at his throat and It was only with the greatest effort that the young 81oux defended himself and killed. the dog. Almost at once the whole Pawnee camp was aroused, but Sun Bird was waiting with the fresh ponies, so that the three lads raced across the plains and escaped unhurt And thus White Otter returned the Red Arrow to his people. THE END. of room when Bhe sat down, and before she had time to think any more about it away flew the rabbits, walking right up on the clouds. The next thing she knew Elsie found herself right up in the sky with the Queen standing up In front of her driving the rabbits, who were running as though some one were after them. "Oh, there is the moon!" said Elsie. "Oh! there la the old moon man. I see him." "Of course you do," said the Queen. "Wave your hand to him." Over the hills and mountains they. flew. Elsie felt her hair streaming out behind her and she held on tight to the sides of the chariot : when they Jumped from cloud to cloud and over the tops of the mountains. Elsie caught a glimpse of the old woman who sweeps the cobwebs from . the sky. She waved her broom at Elsie and said: "Howde do, Elsie Sweet?" "Everybody, up here seems to know me," said Elsie, trying to bow to the old woman as they flew past. - "Of course they do," said the Queen. "All the fairies and the old moon man and the old sun man and the old woman who sweeps the sky, we all know the little earth children, and that Is why I knew you were a good little girl. , : "And I will tell you a secret, Elsie dear," said the Queen. "If all the children were really naughty there would not be any fairies at all." . ' . "Why?" asked "Elsie, for they were going more slowly now and she could talk. : "Because each little girl and boy has a fairy, and the fairies can only live as long as the little girl or boy is" good; if they really become naughty their fairy cannot be a fairy, any longer. "Oh, dear; you don't tell me! said Elsie. "What becomes of the fairy when their little boy or girl is really, truly naughty?" "Oh! I don't know, Elsie dear, You see all my fairies have always been the fairies of good little children, and now 1 know you will try harder, than ever to be good, won't you, so all the fairies can stay fairies?'.' . "Indeed I will be good, and I will tell all my - little playmates and my little brother George, too, that they must be good, so their fairy can always be a fairy," said Elsie. "That is right" said the Queen, "because if there were no fairies there would be no fairy stories, you know." - . "Oh, that would be dreadful!" said Elsie, "for I like fairy stories best of all." "Good night," called the Queen, for Elsie had not noticed that she was right back in her room again; when she heard the good night and looked about the Queen was gone. Elsie opened her eyes, for she had been asleep, of course, you guessed, and the room was almost dark, but the door opened then and her mother said: "Come to sapper, Elsie; I thought you would be sorry you were naughty and come out before this." "Mother, dear, I was sorry right off, and if I had not fallen asleep I i should have come out and told, you," said Elsie.
