A Fairy Story ' Once upon a time there were three little children, two girls and a boy. Their mother was poor, their father was dead. So one day their mother told them to go out in the woods to gather wood for the fire. They wandered far ont in the woods and got lost So they sat down and sried. A fairy stepped beside them and asked them why they were crying. They told her that they were lost. So the fairy took them home and told their mother to come with her and bring the children. Sho took the children and mother into the woods until they came to a tree. Then the fairy took out a little gold key and put it inter a little hole and tamed it and all of a sudden a little door opened. Then she told them to follow her and she took them up to the top of the tree And what do you suppose they saw? A whole lot of fairies dancing. So she took them in a little room all furnished in gold.' She told them they could sleep in that room. So she gave them some pretty clothes to wear. Every day she would oome and take them to dinner. The table was always spread with good things to eat. Then she would take the children out in the yard and let them play with the little fairies. They were glad to play with them. While the children were out playing their mother helped the good fairy clean the house. The fairy gave the mother a room lull of gold and the children one too; and they lived happy ever afte .

Victory Boys and Girls Will What is it al about this talk about Victory Boys and Girls? It must mean boys and girls helping toward victory but how? It's this way. You're going to be given the big chance of helping keep your brothers and fathers and friends happy and well, who are in the service for us. i The men who have charge of the United War Work Campaign have set aside a definite part of the required quota for the boys and girls to raise. Yes, you are to raise it all by yourselves. "Earn and give" is to be the slogan. What each boy or girl pledges and then pays in full must be what that boy or girl has made by himself. The United War Workers Campaign is a long subjfcct. I wonder, do the Junior readers know what it stands for means? It is the campaign for money to be carried on the week of November 11-18, by seven organizations, namely: The Young Men's Christian Association, The Young Women's Christian Association, National War Wrork Council (K. of C.V Jewish Welfare Board, War Camp Community Service, American Library Association, and the Salvation Army, all working together. Where will the money go? Surely we all know that. It goes into the hands of ' all these organizations whose members have ben working o long and tireless to "keep our boy's smiling." It, means a home for that big brother wherever he is, or the big sister who is working in or near an army camp or munition factory. It means friendship and comforts, good books, companionship music, good times, in fact, all the glad, congenial freedom and warmth of home. These organizations fiill all the needs, great and small, of the men and women and the big boys and girls in service in

in the United War Work Campaign

the city, in the camp in those little French villages, and even in the prison camps. These organizations want a mil lion boys behind a million fighters, and as many girls. The plan is to have all the boys and girls enlist as Victory Boys and Victory Girls, and then pledge and earn at least Ive dollars and give it to the local United War Workers headquarters for the work of these organizations. The Victory Boys and the Vic tory Girls will be organized just -ttke the men and women all over the United States. Definite plans of organization will be announced in next week's Junior. Meanwhile, all readers of the Junior, uuder eighteen years of age, be planning how you will earn your money to help a fighter, and what you will write for next week's Junior. (See another column in this issue for prizes offered.) about the kind of a victory boy or girl you're going to be. ' For further information see Mr. Branson, Professor Bentley, Miss Mary Mather or come to the Junior office. t. SOCIETY v Pauline and Max Miller spent the day Thursday with their friend, Julia Burr.

aula's Great Wall Is World Wonder The. Great Wall of China is one of the architectural wonders of the ' world. It is supposed to be a barrier for China, to defend her from enemies. It is from 15 to 30, or even 50 feet high, and is 15 feet wide at the top. The base is 25 feet thick. It is built of an earthen core, faced with Immense bricks that weigh from forty to sixty pounds each. These bricks are built upon a stone foundation, and in many places the wall is faced with granite. The earth-filled core has a pavement of bricks, laid in line on the top, that make a fine roadway. The wall today is 10,000 miles in length, but it originally was much longer, stretching more than 15,000 miles, over mountains ' and down valleys of China. Its fortifications consist of parapets and fortress towers at frequent intervals. There are about 25,000 towers and about 20,000 of these are in fine repair after twenty centuries. This shows the thought and careful work that was put into the great undertaking, and it symbolizes to all the people of today the desirable qualities in one's charactre of strength, perseverance, unity and true protection for man and beast. Once seen, the Wall of China can never be forgotten. It is one of the best "Sermons in Stone" ever demonstrated. If you stand at Old North Gate, which is on the peak in this picture, you can see the cloud capped towers, extending on both sides, east and west, until the miles and miles of wall dwindle away into a minute point, and you stop to remember that for twenty centuries people have stood where you. stand and have seen the same perspective view that you now see. Then you feel so small a bit of the Great Plan of Creation, and think to yourself, "What can I ever accomplish in view of this stupen-" dous work?" Ah, this is the rePly: 1 "You, with the same Mind and Gifts from the Almighty, can work out wonderful things just as this Great Wall was thought and planned and manifested to last indefinitely. So don't belittle yourself, but remember you, too, are capable of great works, it you but handle he 'potter's clay' .with the ability of an intelligent worker."

China's past greatness, proves to us how fleeting are fame and greatness of the world. When this wall was built it Was said that no power could ever reach the fortified and protected people back of it. And yet it was but a short span of years before an enemy found way to attack the Chinese. The Prince of Tsun, flrst Emperor of China, built the wall in the Third Century B. C, but the work was directed by a military officer named Ming Tien. Brooklyn Eagle Junior. A Walk with Johnny Ann ' takes her little brother Johnny out for a walk, Johnny walks well for such a ,small boy, but he tries to walk a little too fast, and has a hard fall. He is more scared than hurt, but he feels duty-bound to cry. He sits up on the ground, and bawls loud and long. A bird sits on a post and looks at him as much as to say, "What can be the matter wUh that little boy?" Ann shows him a jumping jack, which pleases him very much, and in spite of himself, the little rogue son has to laugh through his tears. . Then Ann takes him into the house, and gives him her doll to play with, then with the doll in his arms, she takes him out to see the rabbits. Johhny is as happy as a lark now; he has forgotten all his sorrows. Trera Mackey, 3A, Sevastopol school. JUNIOR MARINES. The Junior Marines have increased two new members since last Saturday.
