Wheat Now Grown Near Arctic Circle The Alaska Experiment stations Of the United States department of Agriculture have demonstrated It is possible to raise locally a large part of the wheat needed by those living in the Territory. A recent report states that In the summer f 1921 a crop of 3,500 bushels of wheat was produced in the vicinity ' of Fairbanks. This wheat, raised from seed originally imported from Siberia in 1914, Is made into flour at a mill In Fairbanks and supplies the 1.500 Debpla who live there.

The grain is hard and the flour is of excellent quality. Oats and barley, in addition to wheat, are being grown in the Interior valleys. The aim of Alaskan agriculture Is to grow sufficient food to supply all those engaged in industrial occupations In the Territory. St. Nicholas.

A Bonfire I always like autumn because I like to burn dry leaves. We always have lots of leaves in the fall. One time I had a fire out on the graveled road, leading to the house. It was a Jil tie windy that day and Mother thought I had better not build a fire, but I begged bo hard 'she finally let me do It. After it had burned a while the sparks began to fly. Mother was afraid the barn would catch on fire, so we "put it out with water. Allco Margaret Tost, 6B, Joseph Moore school.

ARCHERY How to Use the Bow and Arrow

THE GIRL WHO SAVED

There was once a little girl

named Helen, who was a very good little girl. Sho was seven years of age, and was very mannerly and very polite. There was a little girl across the street from Helen and she was very bad. This little girl's name was Ruth. Ono day Ruth's mother asked her to go to the grocery store, and she said, "No, I want to read." Her mother said, "I will go after Helen." So Ruth's .mother went over and gave Helen some money for the groceries, and Helen went. Whon Helen came back, Ruth's mother gave her a quarter. Helen went home and put her money in tho bank that Bhe had and the other little girl was very sorry that she did not go, since her mother would have fclven her the quarter instead of Helen. Helen saved every cent of her money and when she was fifteen years old she had a lot of money, and she put it in the safest bank. Pearl Stoop, 6A, Hibberd school.

flat- Bide, or outside, turned toward you, place the left handjust below the loop near tho top of the bow. Then bend the bow by pulling with the right hand, and pushing outward with the left, slipping the loop Into the notch at the end as soon as the bow is sufficiently bent.

When the bow is strung ready for shooting, the string should stand about six inches out from the middle far enough to keep it from hitting the arm or sleeve when the arrow is released. Grasp Bow Firmly When ready to shoot, the bow should be seized firmly by the left hand in such a position that the thumb is in the exact middle. Thj string should be placed in the notch of the arrow so that the cock feather is on the unner side. The general rule for shooting position, heels should be six or eight Inches apart, and the left foot

at right angles to a line running to the target, while the right foot is pointed about forty-five degrees from the left. The weight of the

body should be balanced equally on both feet and the whole body kept erect Then the string should be seized by the tips of the first three fingers of the right hand, the first finger being above the arrow and the'

other two fingers immediately below, so that whea the string Is drawn, the arrow will remain between the first and second finger. Steady. Now! Then, standing perfectly erect,

with head upright, raise the bow j a7ieft Tn the forest

the right hand rest against the Jaw. Take aim by moving the bow

with the left hand upward or downward, or from left to right, while

keeping the right hand pressed

against the Jaw.

It is well for the beginning archer

to practice the form of holding the

bow, drawing the string and releas

ing the arrow at first in an open field without trying accuracy in shooting.

These days of real Indian summer fill us with a epirlt of olden days when, instead of corn shocks, our Indiana hills were covered with tepees. Through the blue haze about us, seem, through half-closed eyes, a myriad of Indian warriors dancing a ghost dance. The smoke from the bonfires turn3 into the smoke of campflres. The gaily painted leaves have stolen their war paint, and the rustle, rustle wo hear is the sound of warriors aa they slip through the forest to Join the dance Next year they will leave their happy hunting ground and come back to us again. The library has a host of Indian stories. I shall give you a list of them, and you can Join me in this play dream of the past.
