"1 think it is lovely to belong to such a happy band of boys and girls from all over the world." Many of you feel just as does Mary Grace, for that is her name. She says she now has seven girls to whom she writes, and they all live in different states. Another of our Go-Hawks, Howard Gray, who lives in Ohio, sends word to Happy that he is choosing from the list of names each week m Happyland a new friend, and hopes in time to have a friend his own age in every state in the union. Hoth Howard and Mary Grace have just the right idea. Neither of them have lost time by waiting. None of you need ever wait. If vou rcallv wish to receive letters and to make friends among the Go-Hawks, then be the first to write to whom ever you choose. You must, however, be very careful about your letters. Take time to write good letters and make them just as interesting as possible, so that it will be a pleasure to receive them. Kememher, the one who receives them has no other way in which to judge you except by the kind of letters you write. One always wishes to answer such letters much sooner than poorly written ones. Why not have a little notebook, and in it keep the correct names and addresses of all those with whom you are exchanging letters. Your teachers will all tell you what a fine thing it is to be able to write good letters. Even grown people cannot always do this. If you are wide-awake, no matter where you will lind plenty ot interest aiiout which to write. No one need wait to write letters, write them you will receive them. You may begin at once. Goodby until next Sunday. HailoftheGoHcW SYNOPSIS. The fio-Ilawks, a Jolly ernwd of boys who ploy Imllan, auk the twin, Pru rience mid latirnrt to Join their Tribe.

The boy lying on the river bank whistled softly to himself as he gazed at the blue skies and over hanging trees as if for inspiration. Occasionally he picked up a stone and tossed it out over the water. "I hate to have them keep a store or a lemonade stand or sell flowers or dig weeds," he mused. "Seems like I ought to think ot somcthin' else; anybody can do those things an' our squaws ought to do some thin different." A sudden gust of wind brought to his feet a piece of old newspaper. At first his eyes rested on it in differently and then his face bright ened. "I know lots of folks '11 take it." Jack ran back to the Trcvcllyn home and called excitedly to the twins: "I have it, girls, we'll make the money by starting a news paper. Then we'll buy auntie a tea jacket, pay back the money you took for Donald and, if we have any left, do something fine with it. He paused breathless. "Jack, do you s'pose we could make 'nough money to take all the Go-Hawks to the circus?" asked Prudence, her eyes round with wonder. "I don't know, of course, but I think so '' "Father says a man can do any thing he makes up his mind to," in terrupted Patience, "so I s'pose if we want to do these things we can." "Anyway we'll pay what you owe," answered Jack. "It'll be perfee'ly stylish to own a newspaper just as if we're grown up," began Prudence, "but how '11 we print it?" "Don't need to print It. Donald writes the best of any of us. lie can copy them all. live, in the city or on a farm, you and if you The twins gazed in awe at the chief whose plans were always so wonderful. "I know a man who owns a newspaper and I guess I'll go and ask his advice," said Jack, who was a firm believer in applying to headquarters for information. "To morrow I'll come over and we'll start to work." The editor was very busy when Jack sought him in his private of fice a half-hour later. He had a liking for the lad. who had fur nished material for many a comic paragraph, so he glanced up smil ingly as he held out his hand. "Good evening, Jack, anything new in politics among the Go-Hawks?" "Things've been pretty quiet, sir, but we, at least some of us, are needing to earn some money an' I thought we'd better start a news paper. I'd like a little advice from you." "So you think that would be an easy way to make money?" "I know it'd be easier than dig gin' weeds and it ought to be more improvin'." "I admit that certainly. What kind of a paper are you going to start? Is it to be religious, sport ing or literary?" "Oh, just a newspaper like yours that ev'ry one wants to read." "Will you be the editor?" "I s'pose so," answered the boy modestly. "Let me see. You must have an editor, a business managed and a printer. I presume you will have some of the Go-Hawks deliver your papers?" "What'd you have in it to read?" was the next question. "What had you thought of in that line?" asked the editor, with a twinkle in his eyes. "Well, you see, I only thought 'bout having the paper a few min utes ago, but I think we ought to have an editorial. That is some thin' like a composition, isn't it?" "Something, yes," was the an-, swer. "The girls can make some poetry and we can have somethin' 'bout the people in the neighborhood and losts and founds and things. The girls), are good at thinkin' up things. Would that be enough for 5 cents?" "Yes, that would do and here is 25 cents to pay for my subscrip tion for five weeks. If I can help you in any way you must call on me. Here is a bunch of paper for you. I suppose you'll write the paper for a while?" "That's what we thought. When I'm a man I'm goin' to be as nice to boys as you are," replied Jack as he shook hands and with a roll of paper left the office. "I'm goin' to get a lot of sub scribers t'night and s'prise the girls," he resolved, for Jack loved to awe the twins. He toiled pa tiently all the evening, thoroughly canvassing the neighborhood. He pictured the paper in such glowing colors that almost everyone he ap proached subscribed for it The boy collected in advance and his heart was light when he reached home and counted the results of his evening's work. Early the next Have you ever tried to make a cricket rattle? They are really not very hard to make and are lots of fun. First prepare your notched spool, being careful to make the notches in one end of the spool exactly opposite thore in the other end. Whittle your handle to the size and shape shown in my pic ture. Cut the strips for the top and bottom and the block that goes at the opposite end to the spool out of cigar-box wood. Cut a groove at the edge of your block just the right width to receive the end of the wooden strip between the block and spool. First nail your top and bottom strips, each six inches long, to your block. Slip your handle through the holes in these strips and spool. The cen ter board should reach from the groove in the block into the notches in the spool and it should be as wide as your spool is high. Mother does not care much about this toy. She says it is too noisy. PETER. Poem. Dear Happy: I received my but ton and like it very much. I am trying to obey the rules and also be kind to birds and dumb ani mals. I wrote the following poem: Be a good sport if you want some fun, Do not quit and then begin to run. Play the game as clean and .fair And don't go around with your nose in the air. Tell the truth whatever you do, And don't let your tongue run away with you. If you're alosing, take it right. Play all the harder and do not fight Danolda Ferkinr, 2584 Laurel avenue, Omaha.

"I'll write the editorial on some thing solid like " "Like bricks?" asked Donald. "Yes, that'd do an' you girls must each write a poem and lots of. funny things 'bout people and advertisements. Donald can copy it all and Piggy and Napoleon take 'em around when we're ready. We'll have to work hard 'cause I promised the first paper next week." (Copyright, 122.) (Continued Next Sunday.) Another Way to Be a Good Go-Hawk A good Go-Hawk always shows courtesy to women and to those older than himself on all occasions. When an elder ly person or a woman enters a room where a young boy or girl is occupying the easiest chair, the younger should give the chair to the older. So, re member this way to be a good Go-Hawk. By EMILIE BLACKMORE STAPP and ELEANOR CAMERON. Last Sunday you read in our Fairy Grotto about Philip Perrin going to buy his fireworks for the l'ourth. Almost as soon as he had left his father's garden it was vis ited by a crippled boy named John and his sister, Betty. It was such a lovely garden that they thought it must belong to the fairies. Here our little friend, Jelf, the Love Elf, finds them, and when he sees how poor they are he tells his friend, the South Wind, to send for the Sweet Pea Fairies to come and dance for them. Our July play is called "THE FIRECRACKER GNOMES." (Continued From Last Sunday.) "jELF. (Gallantly.) (Jelf waves his hand toward John and Betty.)

While they are danc ing, John and Betty are seated on the settee. Jelf stands by the trel lis watching them eagerly. Jelf softly waves his little wand to and fro. When the dance ii finished the Wind Fairies drop to earth close by the nasturtiums. Miss South Wind then gives a tolo dance. She finishes her dance in center of stage, and again holds her seashell to her lips.) SOUTH WIND. Sweet Peas! Sweet Teas! Every one Coma and dance in the summer sua.

Some come from right of stage, others from left and others from behind the sweet pea hedge. They carry garlands of the flowers. When their dance, which is very bright and joyous, is finished, they drop to the back of the stage and seat themselves in front of the sweet pea hedge.) SOUTH WIND. (Addressing John and Betty.)

Her mother told her that when she did something she had been told not to do then she was "breaking the rule." "Oh, yes," said the little girl and then added, "And when I don't do it, am I putting the rule to gether?" During the war when everyone was talking of wheatless and meat less days, Billy listened very close- ly. That night several cats selected a spot beneath his window to have a fight. The next morning when he came down to breakfast Billy said: "Well, I guess we all had a sleep less night, too." 1W ed by the sound of popping, as though firecrackers or a popgun were being shot off.
