AUNT POLLY'S LETTER

DIGGING OUT SHEEP

Good-evening Juniors:

I heard some one say the other day "It's the dividing of one's

money that counts."

Had you thought of that? It really Isn't the lump sum or the total

of money one brings in bo much as the way he divides It up when he

spends ft

Many of you Juniors are earning money in smaller or larger amounts this summer. What are you doing with it? How are you spending It? Oh, that's Just going to be another lecture on saving money, perhaps you are saying but it Isnt I am not thinking as much about

Baving this evening, as I am about spending, for money always Is and must be spent, but It's the way a man spends it that has a great deal

to do with whether he Is self-supporting or not, with his earnings. ,

Suppose when a father of a large family begins to Berve the steak and mashed potatoes that he Just Jumped right In, thinking If he thinks at all "I'll serve as long as it lasts" without ever "counting

noses" to see how many are to be served. Alas for the youngest ones In such a family If such things ever really happen, they are in danger of going on short rations. But fathers usually plan and serve accordingly bo that each has plenty but no one too much nor too little. ' It Is all Just a matter of dividing it out, as you portion out the sand and grass when you "play store" planning to spend a certain part of your money for clothes, for church or charities, to save a certain part, and to spend a certain part on your hobby as your wireless, etc, a part in the movies or in play of some sort and a part for ice cream cones and "hamburgers." It is fun dividing it and you can manage much better and be better satisfied when you spend. In an account book I have seen showing a plan by which a business man may divide his money, "budget" it, we call it, there are the following, divisions: maintenance or keeping up the household or water, gas, light, laundry, etc.; food; clothing; investment or savings; advancement under which are listed church and charity contributions, books, magazines, education; health; recreation and then a final column for extra items. This is Just an example of course you would make your own divisions according to the amount of money you bring in, and your own expenses. I know many Juniors who are doing this regularly to a certain ex

tent. What kind of a business Junior will you be at the end of the sum-

When boys In more temperate

climates are playing marbles and hunting for their old baseball bats, the boys in the Scotch Highlands may still be helping dig out the buried sheep. In the North of Scotland it snows a great deal, there being nearly as many snowy days aa in Iceland. After a night's fall of enow many sheep are buried in the drifts and have to be dug out Here la where the sheep-dogs are useful. Some of them become famous over a whole district for their Bkill in finding sheep. The dog goes over the drifts with his nose close to the ground, and listening all the while very carefully. When he scents a buried sheep, he decides on the exact spot beneath which it is located, and then he begins to scratch with all his might The men who accompany him turn in and help dig out the buried animal. ' The shepherds also carry long poles, and, walking in a line, they push their long poles through the snow to hunt for missing sheep. An experienced shepherd can always tell by the touch of the pole the difference between the wolly coat of a sheep and the heather or moss. The hunting with the pole Is a very slow way, however, and is only used when many sheep are lost and the dogs are all busy and

unable to handle the Job themsel

ves. Hunting for sheep Is always an exciting business in the Highlands, and every one Joins in. The man who owns a good sheep-dog is , always willing to lend it to his neighbor who has lost some sheep in the great drifts. Boys' and Girls Newspaper.

TALE of a RUNAWAY FAIRY By JULIA R. BURR

Part II Airy- Meets King Amat

Is it proper for a chimney to wear its last-year's Boot?

" Yea ho! Yea ho! Hark ye my men Thru woods "and glen Let us a hunting go.

Thus said good King Amat early that same morning. So immediate

ly his men made preparation, and they were soon upon their way.

Their cries and shouts filled the glen, but still Airy slept All of a sudden the king came upon her

and he was amazed by her unusual beauty. "Ah!" he exclaimed, "what pretty maiden is it that is dressed in rags, and rests her beautiful golden head upon dirty leaves?" Instantly he fell In love with her, and getting down from his horse, bent over and kissed her. The touch of his lips upon hers awakened Airy. Her Btartled eyes gazed up into his face, but bis quiet brown eyes and smiling lips drove away all fear. It was a pretty picture. Airy lying there with her golden hair falling in ringlets about her shoulders and with a smile on her lips, and he, kneeling In such a kingly fashion beside her. "I am King Amat," he said, "do tell me why such a lovely maiden as you should be dressed in rags, and rest her beautiful head on a bed of leaves." So Airy poured

forth the whole story in the king's sympathetic ears, and he began to love her more than ever.

"My dear," he said, "You need

someone to. protect you. The min

ute I saw you my heart became

yours, ana now it overflows with

boundless love. Say that you will be mine my queen and together

will we reign and it shall be the

happiest rule that any king ever

had." A lovely light came into her eyes,

GOING FLOWER HUNTING Once upon a time my cousin and I went flower hunting. We went to .Glen Miller Park. We got some violets there. Then we went to a man's house and asked him if we could have some of the flowers that were in his yard. He said we could have some of them. He gave us some Blue Bells and Honey Suckle. After we left his house a woman

gave us some more Blue Bells. We

thanked her and wont on to scnooi to decorate the rooms for Easter.

The rooms were fixed very pretty

for that occasion. Miss Mary El len Higham, Milton, Ind.

Blockhead Mother was proudly displaying the various articles Tommy had made in woodwork. "Just think," Bhe said, "Tommy made this birdhouse, this stool and that stand out of his own head."

BOB, A FOX TERRIER My dog Is a Fox Terrier and his name i3 Bob or Bobbie. Bobbie is as black as coal and has a white spear heart on the underside of his neck. Some times we call him

Blackie. So ho answered to all of his names. Bobbie is a good dog

and knows many tricks. If he has seen you for a day or so and you're sitting in a chair he will Jump upon your lap and hide his nose in

your arm. Bobbie is a dog that likes to fight He nearly always Jumps on a dog about twice his size and to separate them you would have to throw water on them and then some times you could not get them apart Nearly every day Bobbie comes in with a

place on his neck or back where he

has been bitten. We hardly ever

see Bobble more than once or

twice a week. Yet he is a very nice dog to have around. Leolin Klus, Muncie, Ind.

By FLORENCE WINE ' A "picture" hat to match your or

gandy dress is Just the thing to start off the summer days. It is the "summerlest" outfit you could

possibly wear. Made of crepe paper and trimmed in flowers of satin ribbon or of paper in a contrasting color,, the hat will be right at home at a garden party or any of the summer "doings" which call for an organdy dress.. N To make the hat you need one fold df the crepe paper, twd No. 15 wires, which are extra heavy, one

equal to your head Bize. This band is shown in figure 3. Fasten the two ends of the band together with paper clips or gummed tape. Lay this headband in the center of the brim and cut the crepe paper Into diamond shapes and paste to the headband, as in figure 3. This holds the .brim firmly to the headband. For the crown, cut a circle of the crepe paper about 54 inches around. It may have to be a littlo larger or smaller to fit your head size. You can figure this out your-

Pershing Stadium in Paris to Be Scene of Great International Meet

In June, 1919, at Paris, France, the Pershing Stadium opened for the first international athletic meet, which lasted from June C to July 7. This Ktadium was made by the Y. M. C. A. and presented to General John J. Fershing, who in turn presented it to General Foch, and it now belongs to France. Each Darticlpant of every nation

was required to have been an officer or an enlisted man in one of the allied armies during the World War. The sports were of standard events that are usually held in great meets, excepting the rifle and pistol competitions, and the handgrenade throwing. The other countries entering this meet were: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czecho-Slovakian Republic, China, France, Greece, Gautemala. Hedjaz, Italy, New Zealand, Portugal, Roumania, and Serbia. America, sponsor of the meet en-j tered (he games with a team which

was selected by a series of eliminations which want thru the ranks of the 2,000,000 soldiers in order to secure the best men.

Merit was rewarded the victor!

ous athletes by trophies, medals, and diplomas. The Inter-Allied medal was of the greatest interest

to individual competitors. It was awarded to the winners of first,

second, and third places in each event, and to each member of the winning teams. Winners In all the principle sports also received the gold or silver medal of the French Minister of War. Besides these medals, there were many others that were awarded for the winners of different events. There was no one winner of the meet but "the winners of different countries as they did not contend to a final Individual winner This year representatives from America and Europe will compete there again in a meet beginning on August 20.

spool of fine tie wireand one piece of cardboard. Forming the Circle Now that you have all these materials together, let's begin. First, Join the two wires to make a circle. You will have to decide yourself how big around this circle should be. It all depends on how large you want the brim of your hat The

wires may be Joined together with!

the fine wire, winding it around so that they will stay together firmly.

Cut the circle of the crepe paper

Just one Inch larger In circumfer

ence than the circle you made with the wires. To cut. the paper out, you can lay your wire circle flat on the paper and mark around it a circle one inch wider. Paste the wire and lay it on the circle of paper, folding over the extra inch of paper, as shown in figure 1. Cut the top circle for the brim next allowing a quarter of an inch

for turning. Put paste on the cov

Belf. Gather the crown at the headband, as sfiown in figure 4. Then fasten the crown and the headband

together. How to Trim

Now your hat is finished, except for adding the trimming. You

might make your hat ia a contrast

ing color and have the trimming

match your dress, or else do it the other way around. For a picture

I hat the best trimming is flowers

You may buy these, or make them

yourself out of scraps of satin or

eome crepe paper.

If you wish your hat to last all through the summer, give it a light coating of liquid varnish such as

check or crystalline. You will find

that you have a "regular" hat very different from the flimsy paper

hats you have made for mas

querade parties or fancy dress pro

grams. The others came to pieces the next day, but this hat, if you have made it carefully, will wear as long as a cloth hat and will always

on It, making the edges fit together j look fresh and dainty,

Bmoothly, the way It does In figure 1. To Make the Crown Now that you have completed the brim, put it aside for a while and start on the crown. Cut from a light-weight cardboard a headband two inches wide and in length

and a smile on her face gave him the desired answer. . He helped her from the ground and gracefully lifted her into the saddle on his horse. Taking the horse by the bridle, he led it toward his men. "Our future queen, my good men," said ths king, waving his arm toward Airy. His men, seeing something finer In Airy than her rags, took off their hata and bowed before her. They then resumed their Journey back to the castle. But when they arrived at the castle, they received far from a royal welcome. King Amat's old father, upon seeing his son bringing a ragged girl to the palace to be future queen, was very angry, and flew into a frightful rage. He ordered his son to take her back where ha found her, else he should never bo claimed as his son. Calming his anger, King Amat said, "Father, I must obey you one way or the other. I love Airy, she means much to me. Rather than give her up, I am willing to be disinherited by you." He turned, and lifting Airy off the horse, they walked out of the court-yard together. Outside, she tried to persuade Mm to go back and not be , disinherited on her account But he would not listen to her, but picking her up, carried her back to the glen. There they lived together in perfect happiness and all of theh sorrow were forgotten. But one day, one of the king's men came to him saying that the old

j king was very ill and that they

could find no nurse for him because everyone was afraid of him. It was then that Airy said, "Oh, why can't I care for him. When I am in costume he will never know me, and perhaps In the end he will like me. Besides I have a very powerful healing herb that will mako him batter than anything else." At first tha king Btrongly objected, but Airy was firm and decided. ' So the king relented, and Airy started off to act as nurse for her father-in-law. At first he surveyed her critically, but he did not . recognize her. He was a very bad patient he was so cross and so very unkind. But Airy not only nursed his physical . ills, but also his spiritual ills. She was so dominating, so kind and patientthat ' he began to have some 'respect for her. At' last when he was almost well, everyone saw a great cftange in the ol"i king, all due to Airy's patient nursing. One day, Airy stepped out of the room for a moment to talk with King Amat and accidentally she left the door ajar andthe old king overheard them talking. "Dear." said King Amat "You have been wonderfuL No other

person would have cared bo much about nursing him back to life. Surely he can't object now to you Jjelng my wife." The old king listened and was greatly amazed by what he had heard. He quickly seized his cane, and rapped loudly on the floor, Airy came running in. "Is that my son's voice I hear?" he asked. "Y-yes," answered Airy. "Then call him in, please," he said. Airy went to the door and summoned King Amat He came in, thinking his father would be angry to find him there. ' "My son," he said, drawing him closer, "I have been very harsh and cruel, and especially to my nurse, your future wife. She has 6hown me hfr true nature, and I

praise you for making such a fino choice. I only ask, now, to be forgiven for my cruelty."

So that week one of the finest

and loveliest weddings of the kingdom took place, and every member of the royal family was exceedingly happy, and when the King Amat took the throne, he declared that his would be the happiest reign of

all.

How Long Are Elephants' Tusks? The tusks of elephants grow

throughout the life of healthy an-,

imals. The length varies with tho age of the elephant and also with, the work done with the tusks. It Is reported that one Indian ele-j phant in captivity has tusks eight; feet long. The average is far less than this. In the British Museum

is the skeleton of an African elephant with tusks 10 feet 2 inches long.
