... A Sudden Shower Barefooted boys scud up the street, Or scurry under sheltering sheds; And .school girl faces, pale and

sweet. Gleam from the shawls about their r heads. Doors bang; and mother-voices call From alien homes ; and rusty gates i Are slammed; and high above it all The thunder grim reverberates. . And then, abrupt, the rain! rain! The earth lies gasping: and eyea Behind the streaming window pane Smile at the trouble of the skies. The swallow dips beneath eaves, And flirts his plumes and folds his wings; , And under the cataba leaves The caterpillar curls and clings The bumble-bee is pelted down The wet stem of the hollyhock; And suddenly in spattered brown, The cricket leaps the garden walk. Within, the .baby claps his hands, And crows with rapture strange and vague; Without, beneath the rosebush stands A drooping rooster on ono leg. Selected by Georgia Keesling. The Trophy Car Tuesday morning at the depot I went to see all I could of the great things they used in the army, And I had an awful time to get in the car: The children kept pushing me back, but finally there was a good lady put me up in the car and I never Baw such things in all my life. On the flat cars were German guns, a big field gun , and wings of French airplanes and lots if other things. Goldle Shaffer. B, Whitewater School. Garden Boosters of Baxter WHY WE NEED GARDENS There are many reasons why we need gardens. First there are mil lions of people of France, Italy, Russia and Belgium, who are starv' ng for food. So we should share . up ; with our friends who have t'ought on our side. If we have a garden we should give it good care .'or we must feed our own soldiers Arho are weak and hungry in the .lospitals of France. Raymond Yearyean, .5th Grade, Baxter School. - VE SHOULD HAVE A GARDEN. The United States needs food. .Some people think of the food prop sition In this way. Since the war i over, what is the use tp send ood to Europe? There are several reasons. First, ot all the soldiers are home yet, nd we have them to feed? Second, ve have yet to fill our twenty-mil on tons of food. Third, we should , eed the refugees of Europe. " The children, of the United tates can help supply food by hav .ng gardens and urging others to ave them. Beverly Holaday. ,.th Grade, Baxter School. A Sailor's Mother.

Happy Coatempbbioro Fishing time is here. Empty school seats are eloquent of the lure that exists for the small boy in a can of worms, a stick and string and bent pin paraphernalia. The call of brook and line, once answered, makes a life-long devotee of Sir Izaak's sport, as witness the army of anglers who hie annually to the haunts of coy trout and gamey salmon. - Canada is the premier fishing ground and It is not necessary to go far within her boundaries to strike good fishing. This Is especially true of the eastern provinces that are polka-dotted with lakes big and little and streams narrow and wide. That corner of Quebec just west of the Main boundary and north of Vermont, New Hampshire and New York states, is a famous fishing country. First comes twenty-four square miles ot trout and bass stocked water known as Lake Megantic. To take a twenty-five pound lake trout by trolling Is no uncommon experience here. Working westward, the" fisher man has choice or many trout streams in Compton County before May and the Movie Monday night little Margaret Blomberg was in the window. It was too cold to go out to play. " Oh, mother, here comes the evening paper! You promised me the next time a good show was on you would let me go. Hurry, see if there is to be one." Mrs. Blomberg: Yes dear there is a good one on tonight. Margaret: May we go? Mrs. Blomberg: Well wait, dar ling until papa comes. Mrs. Blomberg walks oft to the kitchen. Margaret: Oh! motaer, here comes rather. Margaret runs and turns on tho porch light, And runs through tho hall, calling every step she took, Father." Margaret: May we go to the show tonight. It is going to be a very good one. Mr. Blomberg: How do - you know It is to be a good one? Margaret: Mama said so. Mr. Blomberg: How does she know? Margaret: I don't know. Mr. Blomberg: What is the name of It? Margaret: I don't quite know, but I. think It la about the Two Men and the Donkey. Mr. Blomberg walks Into the din ing room for dinner. Margaret: Daddy may we go? Mr. Blomberg: Yes, if you are a good, little girl. Mrs. Blomberg: Go find Mamma Jane and have her to get you ready, Margaret scampered oft and is soon ready. Margaret: Mother are you ready? Mrs. Blomberg: Yes: are you? Margaret: Yes, mother. Good night grandma. We won't be gone late. Enters the show. It is now 10:30. The show Is

A Cekch to fiov he comes to Lake Park, the station for Lake Magog, which is noted for exceptionally large trout as well as pickerel and pike. Curiously, the popular resort Magog isn't on Lake Magog, but on Lake Memphremagog, in which landlocked salmon are planted regularly. Four to six pounders may be hooked at any time between June and September. The record salmon token from this lake weighed 12 pounds. These salmon are gamey fish and give the angler wonderful sport as they leap from the water several times in succession. Sa'mon trout, grey trout, pickerel and bass are also to be had in abundance. over. Margaret: Papa, will you please carry me? Mr. Blomberg: Yes, darling. Enters home. Raps at the door. Jane: Lozy days, who cin dot be at 'is time of night? Mrs. Blomberg: It is only us. Please put Margaret to bed. Jane: All right. Next morning. Jane: Please little honey, tell me about dat show las' night Margaret tells the story. Well there was a man who owned a beautiful donkey. The man's name was Bob Flowers, and the donkey was Tommy. . He was in love with a beautiful girl who was May Rolling Pin. She was very beautiful. Meantime there was another fellow that loved May. His name was William Gordon. Every day May had to go to th,e postofflce which was about three miles away. Meantime Bob had given her the donkey. She rode Tommy. She got about two and one-half miles away when she heard hoof beats coming. She turned around and she could not see anybody, so she went on. When she got down to John Outlook's woods, William lumped out and got her and his donkey and sent Tommy back home. And then they rode off to New York and got mar ried and lived happy ever after. .

Eight miles from Magog, by good road, lies Lake Massawippl, where the fisherman has a chance to test his skill at catching lake trout, walleyed pike, pike-perch, pickerel, called dore by the French Canadians, and true pike. To attempt to name all the lakes and streams of this district that offer sport and recreation for tourist and sportsman, would entail the writing of a big book, for their name is Legion. For the fisherman who wishes to go farther Into Canada, the waters of the Lmurentians, French River district, Nlpigon and the northern j wilds are waiting. Mary and James Once upon a time on Easter morning, Mary and James went out to gather, vIoMb. While they were gone their mother dyed some eggs. When the came back the eggs were on the fable. The children were only four years old so they thought the rabbits laid the eggs. They clapped their hands and said, "Oh, goody! the rabbits laid us some eggs!" Hugh Dorsey. Joseph Moore School. HOW TO KILL INSECTS. We must help take care of our gardens by driving away the insects.'', . ; - The way we can do that Is ; to spray them. Or a dry powder may be used, either for spraying or dusting. Some of the bugs suck up the sap. Plant lice, leaf hoppers, squash bugs, scale insects are good examples to suck up sap. Cabbage worms, flea beetles, celery caterplilers and other Insects and buga like that, bite plants. As a rale the biting Insects are easier to kill than the sucking insect It Is necessary to drive them awaj. ,(). j away, ii we ao not, tney win eat our plants or kill them instead of us killing them.

A Contented Woman One day a poor old woman was

digging potatoes in her garden. All at once she stooped and pulled out a big iron pot. She was as pleased as she could be. She dragged it a little way toward her house, and looked again to make sure that it was full of gold. . What do you think she found? The gold had turned into silver. Still she was pleased as she could be. She dragged it a little further until she had to stop for breath. Then Bhe looked again to make sure that it was full of silver. What do you suppose had happened? The silver had turned into copper , pennies. Still she was as pleased as she could be. At the door she looked again to make sure that she had her pennies safe. Well, what do you think? There was nothing in the pot but a heavy stone. She remembered that she needed just such a stone to keep her door open, and she was still as pleased as she could be. As she stooped to pick up the stone, it turned into a hideous goblin as big as a church tower. He jumped over her flower beds and fences and galloped away. Do you think the old woman was cross then? No, she clapped her hands and cried, "Oh, how lucky I am! He might have eaten me up, house and garden and all ! " Florence Niewoehner. 3d Grade, Richmond, Ind. A GREAT DISCOVERY. Tambo: "Say, Ah've made a great discovery." Sambo: "Whad's de discovery?" Tambo: "Ah've foun' out dat do heavy end of a match is de light end." GETTING EVEN. Doc Johns: "See here, Mr. Thompson, you are a long time pay ing that bill of mine." Mr. Thompson: "Hush, man! You was a long time curing me." HAVE A PEACH. "Miss," will yo' hab a peach?" "No, thanks, I novah eat peaches. De scads scratch ma throat." TIME WANTED. "Dinah, did you wash the fish before you baked it?" Law, Ma'am, what's de use ob washin' 'er fish what's lived in watah all his life." Lloyd Slifer. WHAT OULD LIKE TO DO THIS SUMMER. If I could do as I pleased, I would like to go to Europe. I would like to see the battle grounds of France. I would also like to see the Rheims cathedral and the place where the ?Yench twins lived. When I get to Europe, I would like to see the St Marks cathedral at Venice and to see the Mosaic work of which the church is made. What I Will do This Summer. This summer 1 am going to my aunts in Newcastle and spend two wet 's. Then I am coming home and go camping in Fayette county near Connersviile about four and one-half miles. While we are there we are going fishing. There are small houses along the banks. They are built up on A cement foundation -so If the river overflowed it wouldn't hurt the houses. We think we will stay about a month. Helen Hancock. 6A, Warner School. George III George III, king of Great Britain from 1760 to 1820, and king of Hanover (elector from 1760 to 1815), eldest son of Frederick Louis, prince of Wales, was born in London, 1738. In 1761 he married Princess Charlotte Sophia of Meck-lenburg-Sterlitz, by whom he had fifteen children. More English In sentiment and education than his two predecessors, George's main Interest was centered In his English kingdom, and never during his long life did he once set foot In his Hanoverian possessions. At his accession he found the seven years' war In progress, and he was later involved In the war of the Americon revolution and the Napoleonic wars. In 1801 the legislative union of Great Britain and Ireland was effected. He died at Windsor, 1820. Contributed by Eugene Juerling. 6 Grade, St Andrews.
