"Red" Enlists Red was packing his clothes ono day when his friend Jack stepped in. "Where you going so soon?" asked Jack. "I'm going down to the mine and get a job," answered Red. "Gee, I didn't know about that," said Jack. Red handed Jack a paper, "Head that and see." Jack after lifting his eyes from the newspaper said, "If you will let me, I will go with you." "I wish you would, then 1 would have company," said Red. By this time Red had his clothes packed and was reaching for his cap to start on his way to the Bta-i tion when Jack said, "Won't you wait for me?" "Hurry up for it's nearly time for the train to leave." Jack hurried as fast as he could. When he was ready they started on. A few hours later they were working in the mine. Suddenly a fat man came running down crying out, "War's declared! War's declared!" This started Red running of of the mine. "Where you going Red-" asked Jack. "To enlist," was the prompt answer. "I'm going every place you go, old pal," said Jack, hours after they started. Two months passed and they were called by the captain, "Well, you are to go on your way to the trenches." The next day we find them marching on their way to the trenches. Loyd Slifen (To be continued.)

Too Many P's When Clarence was six 'years

old, he was sent early one morning to Miss Pearson's store on an errand. Miss Pearson and her Bick sister, Catherine, lived alone together, and they had no one to help them. The ofetn asked Clarence to do an errand for them, and he was always happy to do it, for he liked to be kind and useful. Miss Pearson always thanked Clarence, and often gave him a stick of candy or an orange out of her store. On this Monday morning Miss Pearson asked Clarence to take a little tin pail to her neighbor, Mrs. Eliza Peck, and get a pint of milk. Liarence took the pail and went whistling off. He was a very bashful boy, so he thought he would tell Mrs. Peck's little boy that he wanted a pint of milk. When he got to the house, he could not see the little boy, so he walked up to the kitchen door, and knocked. A tall woman opened the door. uarence hesitated a little. "Well, little boy, what do you want?" said she. -Miss Pearson wants to know if Mrs. Pint will give her a peck of milk." He saw Mrs. Peck lausrh. so his face got real red. Then Mrs. Peck said, "She wants a pint of milk, doesn't she?" "Yes, maam," said Clarence, reddor than before, but greatly relieved. He curried the milk to Miss Pearson and then ran home to his mother with a stick of candy to tell his mother what he tried to say, and what a piece of work he made saying it, and said he, "I hope I shall never have to say anything again that has so many P's in it" His mother thought it would be a good plan for him to practice a while in saying, "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, and a peck of pickled peppers Peter Pier icked. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peDoers where's the peck of pickled peppeds Peter riper picked: My Mother My motner what beautiful words! To be sure, only eight letters, yet thousands of wonderful thoughts they bring to me all full of love. For e'er since I can remember, she has loved and comforted me. Mother understands each heartache each pain she ! quickly drive aways. She loves i mo though I'm good or bad. When I am happy, she is thus. And for each tear which I do shed, my dear mother in turn sheds two. Protected by the care of Him, who ever watches by my side, and, encouraged by mother's love, I cannot stray from paths of right. Though I should look the wide world o'er, I could never find another, who all in one would be to me, sister, sweetheart, friend and mother Catherine Z. Carr. Age 16. Try It! Although the whole wide world seems against you. Although dark clouds gather in the sky, And life for you seems to loose its brighter hue, Try to look cheerful, don't frown and sigh. Though he whom you thought was your friend so true, Forsakes you. Although joy seems to flee; Think not of your troubles do not look blue; Just make others happy, "Don't you see?" Moan not o'er your fate though hard it may seem. Our dear Father in heaven knows best. Don't ever look sad, do not sit and dream; Smiles are cheap, scatter them o'er without rest. Katherine Z. Carr.

Dolls Made of Dried Apples It was the quaint old weather beaten faces of the mountaineers that attracted her first, and by her we mean Isabel Million, who lives in Knoxville, Tennessee. The old hardened mountaineers live there too, and trade at her father's store. She wanted to draw them, or carve them or picture them some way so that people far away from Tennessee could see how odd and attractive they were. She tried to make them out of several things, but she couldn't find anything that looked rough and wrinkled enough for the faces of the mountaineers. One evening she was drying apples for eating. Thinking of some thing else, she played with some of the pieces of apple. Picking up one, she looked at it closely and then gave a glad cry of surprise. For the piece of dried apple she had picked up looked like the face of one of the mountaineers. She picked up a sharp knife and began to cut. Now here and now there. Soon her work was finished and she held it away from her, studying it. She was just "tickled to death," for at last she had found the material that looked exactly like the face of the mountaineers. Now she has become quite expert as an artist in dried apples. She cuts faces in them before they are dried, and she does it real cleverly too, always having some paricular mountaineer's face in mind. Then, when they have been dried long enough, she varnishes these heads with a preservative, and that keeps them just that way. Lastly, she makes the cutest little costumes for them, full black dresses with white kerchiefs at the neck for the women, and overalls and big old straw hats for the men, and they are as lifelike as they can be. And all this is done out of common ordinary dried apples, and by the clever ideas of a girl who has made herself extraordinary.

Airship

My Heme, Greensboro We left Washington iate in the afternoon. I will not describe my long ride for we arriced in Greensboro at one o'clock in the morning. My father was here three or four days before and met us at the station. He took us to the Guilford Hotel and spent the night there. It was Saturday night and we also spent Sunday there. We were invited out to dinner to some friends of father's. The next day we went to our apartment. We are living with Mr. and Mrs. Doctor Whitsett. She wrote the biography of O. Henry, he was a Grensboro man, and at one time worked in a drug store here. They have a new hotel called O. Henry Hotel, it will be opened soon. I like Greensboro, but not as much as I do Richmond, because my Grandma Dille and Aunt Grace and Uncle Turner live there. We have fine schools here, but am sorry I can't go. The doctor won't let me for a year. I am sorry it will put me back so, but I practice on the piano, but can't take lessons just now. My mother and father have promised that I may visit my Grandma Dille this summer, so I hope to visit the paper office while I am in Richmond. This is all of my trip. Sich Junior Begins Garden March 30, 1919. Dear Juniors: As I have been sick, and could not go to school, I did not know how to pass the time away, so I thought I would plant some garden 3ecd. So I go a cigarbox and sifted some dirt and put it in the sun and then that evening my papa helped me sow in he box some cabbage and tomato seeds. I also planted some sweet-peas and some lettuce. I hope they will all grow. So I guess that is all for this time. Good bye. Lester Lafuze. Hibberd School.

White Collie Herds Reindeer in Alaska You have read of herding cattle on our western plains, but that is play to herding reindeer In frozen Alaska. The native Eskimo dogs and Lapp dogs were tried out for this purpose, but ther are more like their wolves and the first thing they wanted to do when they had rounded up a deer was to kill it, which wasn't the idea at all. . Mr. Gordon, a man who has charge of the government herds of reindeer, wasn't at all discouraged by finding out that the beautiful, swift footed Eskimo dogs could not herd reindeer. He knew some dogs that could. So he immediately sent to the States for a white collie, a Scotch breed. He knew the Scotch collies to, right in their native home, for he had lived in Scotland until he was sixteen years old. The dog arrived at Point Barrow in August, 1916, and didn't even stop to rest, but right away began to hunt up the reindeer. It fitted In real well with the scenery of Alaska, being white. It was the safest color for the dog to be, too, because it couldn't be sen very easily. Most of the wild animals in Alaska are white. Remember the polar bears? This year the Eskimos are calling for six or eight white collies, , for they know how well these dogs herd the reindeer. Many white collies are used a3 mascots in the army and navy, too. And, what do you think! They have more honor than that. One of them is a mascot with the Rainbow v Division. Can you blame them for being proud of their race? Country Life.

Salvation Army Will Help Tots If this little tot could talk to you the story you'd hear would be: "My face is dirty 'cause I cry most of the time and I cry because my little feet pain me so. They were frozen, last winter. We did not have any fire in our one-room home. We live in New York down on the East Side, where it is coldest in winter and stiffling hot in summer. "The Salvation Army sent me out into the country to get well, but I cannot play with the other babies because of my feet." The Salvation Army will launch on May 19 a home service campaign for $13,000,000. The campaign will extend through to May 26, and its success will depend upon the generosity of the American public. The money will be sent to extend the Army's work at home, now that its work "over there" is nearly done.
