.The stork came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Howard C. Bailey, Ithaca, N. Y., April 6, this year, and left a bouncing baby boy. Because the day was the anniversary of America's entry into the war and the opening of the Third Liberty loan campaign, his patriotic parents named the boy Liberty Bond Bailey.
An Old Story Retold with a New Ending Once there was a man who went - to buy himself a dressing gown. He couldn't And any he liked at the first place he went, so he went to another place and got one to suit him. He took it home to show his wife, but . when he tried it on it was six inches top long, so his wife went right to work and cut it off six inches. By the time it was all hemmed up again it was almost dinner time and nothing was prepared, so she got her basket and started for market. The mother-in-law felt sorry for her busy daughter, so while she was down town, the motherly wornEXCHANGE COLUMN Open to All Boys and Girls.

And before his wife came home from market, the man came in raving and snorting, got the dressing gown and went out on the street to cool his madness. He went to the tailor and told him to cut it off sixe inches, so the tailor did and hemmed it up as neatly as before, sending it back to the man by messenger boy. When the man got it, he tried it on and found that it was so short that it came nip above his knees, and he tipped up 'and down the house more than ever. Just then his wife camrs in the door from market, and said, "Now what's the matter?" "Oh, I took this to the tailor's to have six inches C'it off, and look what a mess he made of it," he answered. "Why John, I cut six inches off of it myself," gasped, his wife. Just then the mother-in law came in and she said, "How U your dressing gown? Your wife was telling me it was six inches tor long so I came over and cut six inches from it, and hemmed it up." "Well," he said, "I guess the deal was put over all right. My wife did her part of the work, you did yours, and then I took it to the tailors and he finished the job. If everybody was as willing to buy government bonds and thrift stamps as they are to cut and hem this dressing gown, we certainly will win the war." Kathleen Ridge. Seventh grade, Greensfork, Ind.

The editor will try to answer questions readers of the Junior
submit to her. She will not promise to answer nil of them. The quesrlons will be answered in rotation, bo do not expect the answer to bo printed in the same week in which you send it in. Dear Aunt Molly: Will you please answer this question? What is a person's soul? Thank you, Aunt Molly. Yours truly, Marie Nicholson. Dear Marie: Although I never have heard anyone tell their ideas about this and as I have worked it out myself, I'll tell you, dear, the way it seems to me. Have you ever thought what a daughter is? Your daughterhood, or daughtership (whatever you would call it) the fact that you are a daughter, lasts, no matter what comes. You could say unkind things to your father and mother, or you could go away from home and say that you never would claim your father and mother as your own again. But the fact would re main that you have the very flesh and life which they have given you from their flesh and life, and that bond never can be broken. And so, since your daughtership never can be lost, it is for you to make it into anything you wish, a mutilated, stained daughtership. full of ugly thoughts and unkind sayings, or you can make it into the purest relationship anyone could have, that is for you to have as you wish. Only one thing is settled, that your relationship to your parents is the same forever and ever. And then, your soul, it seems to me, is your daughtership or sonship to a very great Father. You can joke about it, and make fun of it, or say that you don't care about it at all, but just the same it is a very real relationship that will last fnrpvpr and ovor J The very life which you have comes from the great Spirit of Life which is everywhere in the world, you can never get away from it. And the very flesh which makes your body is something you cannot destroy, for it goes into the great earth, and spring and summer, soft winds and April rains will make even dust turn into grass and flowers, and God's world goes on with the same joyous, pure relationship to its Father, as before. Your relationship is what you make it, but it never is lost, is it? Aunt Molly. Dear Aunt Molly: When will the war end? Betty Price. Dear Betty: The beginning of the end has come now, it seems. We have said ! that as soon as the Germans will admit that fighting is wrong, and will be willing to melt their cannon up into iron and steel for machinery, and instead of shooting the French and Belgians, will live as friendly neighbors; as soon as they rise up and declare that they will make their own laws and take tli " place of men in the world, instead of being the s!aves and tools of a mighty war lord; and finally,, as soon as they withdraw their guns and troops from lands which do not belong to them, and say that they will accept our terms, then the war will end. Ed. Dear Aunt Molly: How many airplanes have been destroyed or captured or are being used in all the countries? David Henderson. Dear David: The exact number which have been manufactured. Aunt Molly. Say Aunt Molly, if you happened to be a fiy and found out that every body in the. whole world wanted to swat you, how would you feel? Jimmie G. Dear Jimmie: Of course I do not know for sure how such a condition would seem, but I J.ist rather suspect I'd feel like a certain creature which wears a U-shaped moustache, and an iron cross. Aunt M.

Once upon a time there was a little sailor boy. He was a wooden sailor. A little boy had him in his little boat getting ready to let the sailor boy sail. Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you that the little boy's name was John and the little sailor boy's name was Frank. Frank was sailing along on the ocean when a German submarine came along and caught the little sailor boy and the ship. Frank was frightened. The Germans soon let him go and he sailed on. Pretty soon he came to a big black place but he went on. It was a big fish. The sailor boy sailed right in the fish's mouth. The fish sailed on with Frank, but pretty soon jerk, jerk, and out of the water came the fish. A little boy had cought him. He took him home and they found the little sailor boy when they cut him open. The little boy's name was Ralph. He had a sister about his age. She had a doll too and a little house for her doll to stay in. Frank thought she was so pretty that he liked her very much and would stand for hours looking at her. One day he came up to her and spoke to her. A few days later Ralph left him standing in the window and he fell out and went in the gutter below the window. Ralph's sister's doll missed him about as much as any body. The last we heard of him he was floating down the gutter, but since he was a true sailor boy he was happy being on the water once more, so he could show every one who saw him how brave American sailor boys can be.

Kaiser Still Rules But End May Be Seen Within the past two weeks the beginning of the end of the war probably has come definitely into sight, although it is still distant. This came with Bulgaria practically giving an unconditional surrender, and the von Hindenburg line, where the Germans were so well entrenched and established, being broken and almost blotted out. Of the four enemy countries, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey, which stretched their length across Europe, Bulgaria was the weak connecting link between the two upper countries and Turkey, so that now by Bulgaria giving in, it is as though the tail of the serpent were cut off. The enemy will wiuhe and strike more furiously than ever for a while, but its strength surely will ebb away soon. As for the von Hindenburg line, it was the deep, strong lair cf the Germans, and as any boys who go hunting will know that half the trouble is over when the animal has been routed out of its hole. It can start a wild chase, but as

long as it is so hotly pursued that it does not have time to get under cover again, the end may be in sight. But the Germans have not surrendered yet, and perhaps even a year or eighteen months will pass before the final terms are made. The German people are vaguely beginning to rise, it seems' and the new German Chancellor Maximilian, who offered to accept Wilson's reace terms, spoke for them. But the Kaiser still is in power, and Friday he called all the kings of the little German states (which would correspond to the governors of our states) to confer with him over Wilson's answer of which he did not approve. For President Wilson answered the German Chancellor Maximilian, by asking whether the Kaiser was so sincere in his desire to please the people, as to let the German troops be withdrawn from France and Belgium, in order to discuss our peace terms, and as it seems, the Kaiser is not yet ready to do this, so the war will go on as long a3 he is in power.
