m 3 IK W: Dear Dad: Can you read this writing? I'll bet you'll have a good time doing J it because dad, guess what I've done, broke my arm. Well. I guess I don't care because it didn't hurt, much, and now I get to do just what I want to at school, and besides the fellows said I can wear a bar on my coat because I was doing special detail work when I got my blightie, that's the right word, isn't in dad, I thought so. - You see Bill Hadley and I decided we better have our regiment do some scout practice so after school we got all the ordenary privates down there in the trench on the communs, to do the shooting, while Harold Jones and Tom Harlow and I went up in one of those obszurving balluns and telephoned down just how to fight. Tom said we could have their clothes basket so we put her up in that old apple tree Jhere on the side'of the commons, and it was a little wobblyish because we couldn't find any place where the branches would come out just even, but it would of been alright if only Tom had done like I said. I got those opera glasses of mother's so I could see the other trenches better and they worked real well even if they were those white pearl things, so I gave the directions to Tom and he telephoned them down while Harold was running the engines and everything, because you know, dad, Harold's uncle i3 out there in Fort Omaha doing that, too and Jonsey knows all about it. We surely had all the fellows working too. When I'd say "Two machine guns a hundred yards west off tall maple," why Bill Hadley, you know he's the captain, would just naturally have the fellows wipe them out. There were lots pf rocks around where the men had been digging the water pipe ditch, so part of the rookies brought up the amunition while the others fired away and dad it was great. But right in the middle of everything, Tom said he wanted to trade places with me and Harold and I both hollowed at him to stand still, but he started coming any how, and the old clothes basket began wobbling and slipping so I went to push him back but it was too late and the next think I knew, rip, crack she went and we were on our way down to the ground a lot fafster than we came up. When we landed I guess I was on the bottom, or anyhow Tom and Jonsey just sort of grunted and that was all but I knew something was pretty wrong with my arm, so the fellows helped me roll up my sleeve, and dad, it was all sort of humped out there in the middle. But talk about luck, dad just then here came Mrs. Harlow as mad as hops about her clothes basket and she started in giving me a regular scolding because I guess she thinks I'm always to blame, but all the fellows began telling her about my arm and she got excited she forgot to say a word. I didn't want to worry mother, so Instead of going home, I just got Base Ball is Popular at All Richmond Schools Baseball is being played at almost all the schools. One of the : first things done at recess was to choose up teams, the boys report, and in several of the schools, the boys even have worked up teams which are fit to play match games with other schools they think. At Finley school the older boys have the diamonds in the morning and the younger boys in the ofternoon. Of the second group, the boys hare chosen up fixed teams with Lynn Brendle and Samuel Kolp as captains.

0 in Harold Jones to go over and tell her, while Bill went down to Dr. Radbridge's with me. And dad, you ought to see me. After he got through pulling and jerking my arm around, he put a board on the bottom about half an inch thick, and some curved things on top and then he wrapped eo many bandages around it you can just see the end of my fingers sticking out. I sure feel like a dead Belgium, but it's fun, only I can't write very well with my left hand, and I'm kind of tired now, so I guess that's all anyhow. Good bye dad. I hoke you don't get any blightie, but if you do break your arm just remember I did too, sp I'm your Jr. Pardner like always. Jimmie G.

But I wouldn't mention that you were born in 1908, according to the Christian calendar, for fear some one might think that a ten-year-old boy should know the year in which he was born without asking the community aunt. Ed. Say, Aunt Molly, why do you suppose boys always can think of so many questions they want to ask about? Jimmie G. Well, Jimmie, sometimes I wonder if it isn't because their whole head is shaped like one big question mark, with such a big empty space for a mouth that when it isn't being stuffed full with things to eat, there Is nothing to keep the questions from pouring out. Aunt Molly. Every one should do his share, uy bonds!

I lived about a mile more. I turned off on College street and was soon on South Union street, but it seemed that the faster I walked, the harder it rained. I had a sweater on so I put my book under it; I saw a wagon which was a couple of blocks ahead'of me; I soon caught up with it, though. The man asked if I wanted to ride and said that he would take me as far as he was going. I told him that I did and so climbed into the wagon and we were soon on our way. After we had gone a short distance the man said that he thought we bad made a fair trade. I had protected him from the rain and he was taking me home. I then realized why he had asked me to ride with him. He was kindhearted and wanted to help others. I iiaid to him. "If we help everybody and do good turns not only to oursc Ives but to other people maybe they would also accomplish things while we would le the cheerful be!ier8." "Yes," answered the m. "Uir
