Good Netvs Comes to Happyland Irom All Directions ONE never knows when the Happyland mall Is being opened Just what good news will pop out of an envelope. An envelope does not often tell all its serrets. For instance, not long ago one bore the post mark of Mounds, 111., and Happy thought, "This is probably from some boy or girl who has been reading Happyland and now wishes to be a Go-Hawk. When the letter was opened out fell 22 stamps and a request for ZZ buttons and membership rules. The seventh grade pupils of Mounds school have started a tribe of 22 members and they have been holding their meetings in the schoolroom. Their corresponding secretary, Wllda Carson, writes that they are much interested in the care and protection of birds and animals. The members are also trying to earn one of the Honor Awards by the reading of a book each week from the "Guide Post to Good Books." Wasn't that a fine piece of news to find in one letter? The next letter opened was from Geraldine Saley of Brockton, Mass., who asked for 12 pins for herself and her friends, who had formed a tribe of Indians. Each member has a dog or a cat, and so they all have a good chance to put into practice our pledge. I.ttra ltuth Chapman is chief of the Wampanoag 11C A Tribe of Paris, Mo. Its members are meeting regularly. Not long ago I.llllan Patterson uX Woodbridge, Conn., wrote for 10 pins fob a small tribe in ‘the South school. Alenddur Saho is chief of a tribe in Shelton, Conn , and reports many kind deeds on the part of its members. In Nebraska and Iowa the Go IIawks are making an effort this spring to put out an extra number of hirdhouses, tff which they have had some fine exhibits, judging from their letters to me. Ohio Go-Hawks are working hard to push up their member ship and Massachusetts has an unusually long list of kind deeds toward dumb animals. Missouri is also winning many places on the Honor Roll. These are only a few of the many good pieces of news found in the Happyland letters sent to THE SQU7IW LflDy ' --‘amgiMc.'- ■ ~'T SYNOPSIS.

(Continued from Last Sunday) •Tack rose suddenly, and his ruddy face reflected the anxiety of the older man. "Gee! I'd hate to leave my mother alone In the house. She's a dandy, and I am going to stick to her forever and forever when I grow up. Of course, you can't go off and leave ier alone In the house, but"—and the noy ran his fingers through hla hair In a puzzled manner—"say, I have an idea. Would you mind waiting to answer that letter until tomorrow afternoon?" “I can't Imagine what you mean, hoy, now how my waiting would af fect what so plainly seems my duty. Can't you tell ma your thought?" *■ "No, for I wouldn't disappoint you for the world, but I think you can count on that trip. I know how you feel when you are crazy to do some thing. Better not try to send that answer 'til the sun goes down tomor row." “That sounds mysterious and as though something would happen." “Will you be home this evening?" “I am going to a lecture, and prob ably will not reach home before 10. ’ “That'e all right, anyway, for I don't believe I want to see you be fore tomorrow.” Jack rose with the impetuosity which usually resulted In hla knocking over a chair. Mr. Shirley rose also, and placed hla arm for an lnfdant about the boy'a shoulders. ‘I know one thing, and that Is I feel better to have told you. I am not surprised that your Indians stick by you, for you are surely a friend worth having.” Jack smiled happily. “I’m Just getting even, that's all. Gee! but It’s snowing,” and, pulling his cap down over his eyes, he started away. CHAPTER IT. New Work for the Go-Hawks. It was 7 o'clock, and four doughty Indian warriors sat In a circle on a Navajo blanket before the door of a little tent which occupied a corner of the playroom on the third floor of the Carroll home. All about were acattered hows snd arrows and other implements of war, for these were the winter quarters of the tribe of Go-Hawke: not so large a tribe as in the old days of Pawnee Dirt I,odge, but Its leaders had clung together through another year of boyhood. They were Jack Carroll, known In their councils of war as their chief, “Sitting Bull,” Donald Brown, or . "Rain In the Face,” "Piggy" Runt ^•Sand "Tinker” Tyler. Tinker was a comparatively new addition to the tribe, but a useful one, for he was a mechanical genius, ever Inventing a labor-saving device. Tinker was willing to work himself that others might be spared, and who would not approve of him? Some time had elapsed since Jack had called the tribe together. Parents raised no objections to this unex pected summons, for it was Friday night, and on this evening the chil dren were In the habit of congregat ing on the Carroll third floor to play. No other invitation! had been ex tended for this particular session than to the four warrjors. Even the , squawg Patience .and Prudence Tre vellyn, had not been Included. “You ought to have something mighty good to tell us after making us come In from sliding, and Friday night, too.” complained Donnld, who had been enjoying himself hugely when Jack ordered the tribe to leave the hill and appear at headquarters. "This business wouldn't wait, and you can slide all day tomorrow. Maybe you can go out again this evening." "Did you hear my alarm bell go off on my bob?" Interrupted Tinker. f- \ Another Way to Be A Good Go-Hawk .-if A good Go-IIawk does not tense his pets. You cannot blame pussy for scratching you If you pull her tall or doggy for snapping st you Ilf you poke and pull at him when he Is sleeping snd trying to take hla nap. So remember this way to be a good Go-Hawk. _______' "It's a beaner, 'cause if any kid goes to Jumping on my bob the bell’ll ring and I can ditch us if I have to, to shake him off." "Gee! It makes me hungry to coast.” Since Piggy was constitu tionally hungry his remark occasioned no surprise. "Now. then, braves, what I want to know Is, are you still Indians at heart? If you had to, would you just as soon die?” (Copyrlrht. 1924.) (Continued Next Sunday) Elizabeth Huntington, 500 Worces ter street, Wellesley Hills, Mass., is 9 years old and wo'uld like to hear from a few Go-Hawks that live way out west. Go-Hawks seem Just as busy ns they can be making bird houses these days and it is a good thing. There-is no use in hoping and expecting the birds will want to live in our yards unless we do everything we can tf make them welcome. I am sure thtt many new little homes are being put up in the trees at this time. James Merritt of Davenport has sent to j Happyland directions fur making a bird house out of nn old nail kee. He divided the inside into several tiny rooms and the post runs through the middle to the top. He used an old chopping tray for his roof and put a little ornament on top. James stained his birdhcuse a pretty shade of gfern. PETER. 5 COME | FLAY / WITH I ME | PLAYING MENAGERIE This Is lots of fun. Each person Is given the name of an animal. A circle is formed with some one in the middle, who is ‘’it.” He calls the name of the animal a person repre sents (each child having been given a name) three times, and If the one called does not answer by saying the name once, he or she must then take the center and catcb some one the same way. It isn’t as easy as It sounds. Here are the names of some 1 animals which you can use: Squirrel, 1 toad, frog, monkey, tiger, sheep, hip popotamus, rhinoceros, opossum mouse, pig, snake, alligator, elephant. I camel, leopard, muskrat, bison, don key, horse, dog and cat. “LADY JANE” I wonder how many of you have : ever played this game. Try It when : some of your friends come in and j you want something to play. Have your guests form In a circle, then give each one the name of an ar ticle that a woman wears or uses, such ns a fan, hat, dress slippers, parasol, etc. Another player spins a plate in the middle of tiie flooV and says, ‘ Jatdy Jane is going visiting and needs her hat,” or some other article, and the one to whom the name "hat” was given Jumps to get the plate before it stops spinning, then he whirls in and says the name of another I>ady Jane's possessions. If you do not seise the plate before it stops spinning you have to pay a forfeit or the first player is allowed to spin the platter again and call another name. f—— \ “The place to be happy is here, The time to be happy is now, The way to he happy is to make others so. __/ A Little Bird Told Me That— .__j Eeona Kellenberger of Barnsdall, Okl„ lives at the edge of a big forest where there are lota of hickory trees, nuts and wild grapes.

Who' Rives today the best that In him lies Will find the road that leads to clearer skies.” POLLVS COOK BOOK ■ Mother always likes to have Peter and me have a cereal for breakfast tiefore going to school, and so I was very glad when I found this recipe, as It Is nice to know a different way of fixing cereals. Cereal With Dates. Into one quart of freshly boiling water stir slowly three-fourths cup wheat germ or any fine cereal. Add cne-fourth teaspoon salt. Boil 20 min utes. If placed in a double boiler, then cook for three-quarters of an hour or until it is free from any raw taste. Wipe one and one half cups f dat»s with damp cloth. Re move stones and cut into small pieces, .lust before removing cereal from fire stir in dates. Serve with sugar and cream. Peter thinks this Is very fine, so try It on your brothers.

THOUSAND pussies sitting In our willow tree Are opening wide their pretty furry coats for me; They dress alike In gray, as do some nuns we see. And there they stand so stiff and straight—I wonder why These pussies have not learned to say "Me ow” nor cry. I never hear them ever purr when we pass by. In early spring their tiny heads come peeping through, though they did not know at all just what to do, And then they start td open wide their coats for you. Sometimes It seems to me these pussies want to aay, "We wish you little children all a glad good day. And when you see us come, then Spring is on Its way." .__> _ i -^— nr Little Mary gat playing go long on the floor that her feet went to gleep. When the stood up she called to her mother: “Oh, mamma.

We should all be able to live with out having the law used against us. We can stop marking sidewalks, buildings and board fences; we can [act decent In public places, stop break ing windows, keep lawns clean; If you live in a city, cross the streets at the proper place and time. We should go to school and keep the rules. We should also keep the laws of the United States.—Margaret Marie Hoff man, Plalnvlew, Neb. The Wrens.

The lit tle birds were small as mice when they hatched. When they could Just fly a little they got out. There were six. The chickens ate three before we could catch them, but we got the other three. But my little aister let one loose and the cat ate It. We put thi other two In the nest, but they got out end the cat at# them up. So there are none left.

Har-j old Arbogast, Silver Creek, Neb. A Happy Boy It was a mild summer day In the month of July. There had Just been a rain and the streets were wet and muddy but It didn't keep John Wood in. He was a little paper boy that lived In the busy streets of New York. Every morning at 5 o'clock you would see him hustling to his corner, which was right on the main street and on the same corner was a large hank whose president, John H. Ward, had a son. He waa a boy of the same age as our little newsboy, but was entirely different. He was a rough, snobbish disposition who always laughed and snickered at John Wood because he was poor and had to work to keep his mother and himself. Mr. Ward was coming down the street the day this story was written and seeing his son making fares and calling names at the little newsboy, sent him home and calling John Into his office he asked him If he would like to M his errand boy. John, very happy, accepted. Ten years later I found John Mr. Ward’s head banker, which you see, was all because of his honesty and working to help his mother.—Frances O'Brien, Omaha. Neb. A Scared IJttle Girl. Dear Happy: I Just wanted lo tel] you I wrote to a Go-Hawk in Sliver Creek, Neb. Her name was Clara Waldron. We have written several times. I sent her a valentine and a Christmas card nnd she sent me one, too. I am going to send you a poem I made up. One night a little girl was scared to bed, For she thought that was the time that boogaboos hid. She crept In her room And Jumped upon a rhalr, For she was a scnred little girl To be ntanding there. As soon ss she was ready She Jumped right Into bed And covered up her yellow curly head. —Winnie Belie Hufnagle, age 9. Utica, Neb. Hunter. Once, upon a time there was a boy and his name was Jack. Jack waa always cruel to animals, lie had a big dog which he called Buater. One day when Blister was asleep he stuck a pin right through h!s paw. Jack went away laughing. But take advice Go Hawks and do not hurt them, for when a dog is once your friend he Is always your friend. Buster never forgot Jack's cruel act anil never was his friend sfter that.

"I'm coming; I'll do anything for uncle.” Johnney thought he was too great a boy to go to his uncle who waa in need; but Tommy walked ofr proud ly as he thought of the kind deed he was doing. The uncle soon died, but Johnney did not care. The uncle did not ad mire him either, but he left his estate to Tommy. All this while Tommy bad been a Go-Hawk and soon afterward John ney became one, too. Now Johnney does whatever his mother tells hlin to do. But never was he as lucky as Tommy.

There were to come over, six other little rabbits. For lunch they were going to have cake with pink frosting. Ice cream, lemonade, and sandwiches. Peter’s mother made the cake. Ah, that clever mother made two cakes, one with red pepper. Peter was in a habit of taking cake and cookies. She put the one with red pepper in the place where she al ways put things. She hid the other one. Peter Rabbit came along and took the cake. He took a large slice and ate it. The pepper hurt him very much. He was going to sneak away but his mother saw him and told him to come and see the surprise they had for him. Around the table were some neighbor rabbits and his brothers and sisters. In the middle was the good cake Peter was very much ashamed of himself. After the rabbits had gone home he told his mother that he would never, never take any more cake or cookies without her consent, snd he never did—Adele Johnson, age 12. Oakland, Neb. Loves Animals.

(he fragrance of the wood and won dered what sort of s tree furnished the wood from which the pencils were made? Many of them are made from the wood of the juniper tree, or the red cedar as it is more often called. Instead of bearing a cone the red cedar has a blue, juicy berry that follow* its blossoming.
