Over One-Hundred Boys Now Enrolled in One Tribe THIS last month of summer vacation is a busy one among the Go-Hawks, all of whom seem to be trying to win as many new friends as possible for the Happy Tribe. This is the reason so much good news is coming to Happyland from all directions. Under the leadership of Mrs. Emery A. Brewer a great tribe is forming In Centralia, 111. Over 100 boys are enrolled for the protection of bird and animal life. That means all these little difmb creatures will learn they have only friends In this Illinois town. Many little lets of courtesy and kindness to others have also been done by these boys to prove they have the real Go-Hawk spirit. Among their good times was a picnic to Fairy Dell. If as large and active a tribe, of girls should be formed in Centralia, then there will surely be a race to see which one will make the longest record of kind deeds before 1925. From Olive Sidley comes word of a lawn party given by her tribe early this summer in Lawrence, Mass. It was attended by about 60 and the money they earned was given to a worthy family that needed help. From A. L. Smith of the State Soldiers’ home in Ohio came a request to Happyland For more Go-Hawk buttons and rules for his young friends in the neighbor hood who want to be members of the Happy Tribe. This adds to the steadily growing longer list in Ohio. Some one has written to ask the names of the six states that are now leading in membership. They are Massachusetts, Connecticut, Nebraska. Missouri, Iowa and Illinois. Each of these six has made an unusually fine record for the summer of 1924. Next Sunday you will find more news of some of the small tribes that have been formed this summer. I Fire Buckets. Here Is a game that is great fun and receives its name from the old way of passing buckets of water from hand to hand in volunteer fire com panies. The players form in two lines opposite each other, with captains at their head who have a basket or bix filled with various articles, such as handkerchiefs, hair ribbons, button hooks, shoe horns, pocketknives, etc. These are to be passed on one at a .ime until the end of the line is reach 'd. The last player deposits the articles on the ground beside him and begins at once to pass them back. The side that first passes all the ob jects bark to the captain wins the game. Familiar Quotations. The players in this gam* sit in chairs forming a circle. On* of th* players then repeat* aloud one-half of a well known quotation, such as "Where there's a will—.” As he finishes he tosses a handkerchief to some one In the circle, who is re quired to catch It and to complete the quotation, as In this case ‘‘there’a a way," while the others count SO. The player who catches the handker chief then begins another quotation and throws the handkerchief to the player he chooses, who in turn must complete the new quotation. Each player keeps account of how many quotations he misses and the one who has the least marked against him receive* a prize or wins the game.

Shirley a*k* to have them npend the next week with her, when Jink will lie there, too. .Now go on with the *tory, (Continued From I-ont Sunday.) Mi*. Shirley laughed, and with her well arm drew the younger woman toward the library where Jimmie lay curled up on the. couch, reading. “I want you to meet the youngest of my lads, who, I believe, is going to do us all good. I have become much In terested In him, for he U brave and patient at all times.” Her listener was eager to *• * the child of whom the twin* spoke so ofien. "Jimmie, tht* Is Miss Sallie, of whom you Imve heard Patience md Prudence speak.” He looked up with the keen and bright* mile which always lightened Ills face *o wonderfully. ”1 knew you were Aunt Sallie the minute you came in, ’cause Jack said you wei* the prettiest lady he knew, and Pat taid she bet angels couldn’t look any prettier than you did when you had on your nightgown and turned and said goodnight again when she c|»eneij your door. I wish I could see you then.” Jimmies' eyes wera looking at her with such unabashe.d admiration that It brought the blushes to Mias Sal lie’s cheeks. She took the thin little hand into hera, and, stooping for a minute, stroked his brown hslr. ' You see Jimmie, I have known the twins and Jack all their lives and love them so dearly. That Is why I look as I do to them.” "But I think you are pretty, and 1 —wish—" The boy's vole# faltered, for he waa trying to think of the nicest thing he could say to her. “I will have you sit with the king of Kngland and the president of the I'nlteil States in my bo* at the theater some day. Would you like It?” Miss Sallie was mystified, but was so accustomed to the/ twins' odd fan cies that she concluded it was some game the little fellow was fond of playing, and so she said gently, "To la* sure I would love to come, and It Is generous of you, Jimmie, to In \lte me to sit In your bo*.” That evening, after Tinker, King and Jlmml# were all safely settled fur the night and the Squaw Jjsdy bad retired, she lay awake thinking over Miss Sallie s cell and wondering how she could best help her. She felt positive the little girls would not ennoy her Intentionally. She knew that they missed Unci* refer Keenly, nnd much a* they enjoyed the Mo-Hawks, no one could fill hl« pl*' e. Before she hurl fallen asleep I she concluded to make tha children feel that, ahe needed their help In aa many ways as posslbl. Both little girls were delighted the following morning when ahe Invited them to spend the week with her. She told them that ahe already had obtained Miss Sallies permission. Jack, too, was glad, since this was to be his week, and he Immediately offered to help bring over their things on his bob. Patience and Prudence were much excited over the prospect, and had they been starting on a long Journey of many miles they could not have said goodby to their father and Aunt Sallie any more seriously. "Try to make ua proud of you, lit tle girls.” The father felt he must sound a note of warning as he said goodby when Jack came to help them over. "Do you want to tell ua anything special, auntie?” Prudence thought that Aunt Sallie would be happier If ahe, too, added a word of advice. (Copyright. 1924 ) < i»ntitmotl Neil ftttnriny.) r-\ In Field and Forest - j Kor the past two week* the wood* about my home have been full of berries. The broadleafod mulberry la l»erhaps the earliest tree on which the berries ripen In June, and the beat part of all Is that they keep on ripen ing until August. The birde love these soft seedy berries that ire found just back of the wide heart shaped leaves. Kaeh on* Is mad# up of many tiny Irerrles grown together. The mul berry Is such an easy growing tres and never seems In a hurry to havs its harvest over. Among the prettiest of trees In the woods Is the wild red cherry, with He small fruits among th* shining green leaves. No longer than a pea Is the largest of these berries, Although the berries ar# sour tfce bird* love them, while the bees com* In swarm* for the nertar found tn the blossoms, and they carry the pollen from flow er to flower. The wild black cherries will ripen In September, Just In time to be of great service to those bird* among the flrnt to start southward. They will eat great quantities of these bit tersweet berries. Because th# bird# do eat so many of thee# berries and drop th# seeds In out of the way places, often far away from the cherry tree where they found their feast, Is th* reason we find so many of these wild black cherry trees where we least expect. Birds and bees both are doing us many good turns. UNCLE JOHN. "A good deed la never lost."

Ho remember this wav I to be a good Oo-Hswk. I -- Some of the Go-Hawki send word that they know how to make cun ning little toys out <tf empty spools and cardboard. Ruth Allen, a Go Hawk who lives In St. Louis, sends a drawing for a square table made out of one spool and a piece of card board. She writes that she used a crochet cotton spool and a square of cardboard for the top. In gluing the epool and top together one should be most careful to have the spool In the exact center.—PETER. TINY TAD TALES -4D Dot had been particularly mischiev ous all day. Her mother breathed a sigh of relief when it came time to put the little one to bed. Before tuck ing her in for the night, ehe took her in her arms and talked to her earn estly. Then ehe put here down by her knee, saying. “Now, dearie, as you say your prayers, mother wants you to tell God how naughty you have been and how eorry you are.” There was a moment's ellence, then a small voice said: There was a moment's alienee, then "But. mother, I didn't 'spose you wanted anyone outside the family to know it.” Dorothy Perry of Monument Beach. Mass., helps her mother every dny during) vacation and on Saturday when school is not In session. POLLYS COOK.

He was only lVa year# old, but he was very smart. One afternoon when It wa# time for him to take his nap his mother looked very pale. So he thought he would rock himself to sleep. He took off his little shoes and suit and lay down in his little crib. This is what he sang: "Rock-a-bye Bobby Upon the tree top, When the bough breaks Little Bobby will fall. When the wind blows Bobby wakes And down will he come to mother and home." So long as his mother was sick he rocked himself to sleep. I have nearly forgotten you Happy.
