AUNT POLLY'S LETTER

(inod evening, Junior Folks: I wonder how many of you know there Is a story hour every Saturday afternoon just especially for you. Every Saturday afternoon from 2:30 to 3:30 stories, new ones and old ones stories that children like so very much to hear are told in the library. Almost every city of large size and many towns of all sizes have their story hours, usually In the city library. Right now, the stories are being told in the children's room. I know we have had little stories about this hour in the Junior, but since I have found several juniors who did not understand that stories are being told in the library every week and that every boy and girl in the city is Invited to attend them. I thought I would write to you about it and make it clear. People who like you folks and who like stories just about as much as you do are the ones who tell the stories. Among them are the leaders, Mrs. Griffis and Mrs. Girty. If you haven't been to the story hour lately, plan to attend it on a Saturday of the near future. Along with this Idea of the story hour comes tho idea of using the library and of reading more books. There are few things which make more pleasure and enjoyment and which are more worth while than reading good, interesting books. The children's room at the library contains a great many interesting books perhaps many that we do not know are there. Miss Foulke is very kind and Is interested but it is

impossible for her to tell each child what new books or even a long list of the books or stories along a certain line that are older, belong in the library. Therefore as we have done in other years, we publish a list of books or separate stories which are about some certain subject. If you cut out these lists or write down the names of the ones which sound best to you, it will be easier for you to know what stories are in the library and to get what you want to read. Long ago there was a boy in the middle west who wanted very much to have some books to read and often he would walk long distances to get them. What do you suppose Abraham Lincoln, which was the name of that boy, would have thought if there had been a goodsized library in New Salem? We know he would have been as happy

as could be and would have been as eager as you boys and girls to read all tho good books he could find. Sometimes, though, it happens that the library is so filled with books we do not know where to start when we are ready to read a new book. In that case I would suggest that you ask for books about the subject or the kind of books which you like best, which you probably do and here our list can be made useful and then branch out gelting a book now and then of some other kind. For instance, if you have been reading adventures of boys, try reading about some adventures of animals or of knights or of Indians. Or if you have been reading fairy stories a great deal try a story of the sea or a story of real boys and girls. Different, kinds of reading makes more different kinds of interests which make us grow into grownups with bigger understand ings and enjoyments. Is that last sentence good English? Iiope so especially since this has been Good English week. If it Un't very good, perhaps I'll do better next time. Until then be planning what new books you wish to read. AUNT POLLY.

Hungary's leaders have agreed to the terms of the allies and will depose former King Charles and all his royal family, the Hapsburg line.

The treaty of peace between Germany and the LTnited States was recently agreed to by Germany in their congress called the Reichstag, before crowds of people. The first meeting of the conference on the limitation of armaments was to be held Saturday morning, Nov. 12. It was expected that President Harding would make the opening speech. Honor was paid to America's unknown dead in the great war, Thursday and Friday of this week. Tribute was paid this unknown soldier who represents all the American soldiers who died in the World war, by people all over the United States.

President Harding Hashed a greeting from Washington to 28 countries Saturday, as far away as Japan and Australia. It was sent from the new wireless telegraphic sending station at Rocky Point, Long Island, which is said to be the most powerful station of its kind in the world.

put up by the children of these grades. Most of the children were concealed in masks and fantastic costumes. Popcorn and yellow candy corn was served by five girls, Bessie Gilford, Evelyn Smith.
