J! orr yur ground, hoe It, pick out the weeds and other rubbish
JL and then plant your gardens. The boys generally prefer to tko
care of vegetables, while the girls are more apt to want flower.
To BtimUIate interest, it Is a good plan trf organlro neighborhood garden
clubs and havo the children compete to see who will have the prettiest or
most productive garden. Often, too, prizes are offered to encourago thli
healthful and pleasant occupation.
There will be many days of eager waiting for the first sprout to push
it way up out of the ground, but the delight experienced when the planU
do become visible is pleasure enough to repay one.
Votes for a new king and queen of the Busy Bees will bo received by
the editor until Wednesday. Tho king is to be chosen from the Red sldd
and the queen from the Blue side. Tho result of tho election will be an
nounced next Sunday.
This weok first prize was awarded to Viola Pospeshll of the Blue Bids

Little Stories
. (First PrUe.)
Three-Star Ranch.
By Viola Poseshil, Oak View Ilanch,
Venus, Neb. Blue Side.
"Whoop-ee-ee." yelled Delma, as she
galloped over the prairies. Slowly she
turned In the saddle and gazed back over
the rolling prairie. She caught a glimpse
of a white pony and Its rider,
Carllna rode up, her horso panting and
sweating.
As they . d a small corral they
espied a fiery bay horse pawing the
ground with his forefeet.' When ho
caught sight of them he threw up his
head and galloped to the far side of the
corral and there stood 'eyeing them.
Then, suddenly, be began to kick, plunge
forward, then he leaped high In the air
relied over on the ground and lay still.
"I bet you can't ride him," said Delma,
"You can't, either," retorted Carllna.
Delma 'and Carllna Tlussel were two
sisters who lived on a large ranch In
Colorado called "Three Star Ranch."
On this spring day they were Just re
turning from the nearest railway station
and everybody was gone from the ranch
except hcmselves.
The horse In the corral was called
"Firefly." Ho was the worst horse on
the ranch. Firefly had bucked everyone
off that attempted to rfde him.
Let's ride Firefly."
"Why, Delma Russel, we couldn't ride
that horse If we had forty years' train
ing."
'"Oh. let's do. Nobody is here and they
wouldn't ever find out."
Suddenly Carllna also decided that It
woUld'be fun to ride him;
"Who will ride first?" she asked.
"I will." replied Delma.
"All right," said Carllna.
So they went to the barn and got a
couple' of lassoes, a' saddle and bridle,
then, back to the corral. They had a
great deal of'.trpuble to lasso the horse,
but they finally succeeded. The horse
was perfectly tame when he was lassoed,
but when, anynne attempted to ride him
he would do all In his power to throw
them off.
They saddled him and Delma succeeded
In getting on' him. In the midst of the
Whirling dust and grass' and the. snorting
of a 'horse, Delma found herself seated on
the ground.
"Your turn.'! She turned around and
looked at Carllna.
"Sure," said Carllna.
So they caught the horse again and
Carllna Jumped, on.. The horse stood
still. Then he started to buck. Through
it all Carllna maintained her seat.
It wa.a a surprised father that came
home and found that his daughters had
broken this horse to ride. He gave Fire
fly to Carllna and nobody can ride him
except Carllna.

Daniel Webster's First Speech.
By Bernard Carroll, Aged 10 Years, Ful
lertgn. Neb. Blue Side.
When Daniel Webster was a boy he
was very kind-hearted. Once they discov
ered that a woodchiick was eating thn
garden, so they made a trap to catch
the woodchuck. They set it one night be
fore going to bed and In the morning
they had the woodchuck In their trap.
"What shall we do?" said thft father.
Ddnlel's brother said, "Kill him, kill
him," but Daniel said, "Do ndt killi hfm "
But," said Daniel's brother,) "hasn't he
been eating the garden?" "Well' said
the father; "we will have each of you
make a speech. The one that wins gets
his way about the matter."
So Daniel's brother got up and mado
a yery good speech. It looked as though
he would make the beat speech, but when
Daniel got up he said, "Now, brother. If
you were caught In a trap, which would
you rather have done to you, have your
captors let you go or kill you?"
His brother was ashamed.
His father said: "Daniel made the best
speech," and so the woodchuck went free.

My Spring Surprise
By Mollle Corenman, 805 South Seventh
Street, umana, Neb. Bed Side.
One day last week, while I waa coming
home from school I heard a bird singing.
1 had never heard any bird elng except
sparrows and canaries and so this song
sounded strange to me.
I must find the owner of this pretty
singing," I said to myself. It had stopped
singing now, but I waited until it began
again, so 1 could find out where It wa
After a few moments' waltihg it started
again. I listened very closely and look
lng up I saw a robin on. the branch qf a
tree beside me. I kept my eyes on It, not
daring to stir for fear It would fly away.
This is how it looked:
It had a very red breast with little
black dots all over it lta head and baqk
were of a yellow blackish color. Its wlngh
and. tall were black wiih spots of white
here and there. The feet were yellow. I
think It was very, pretty and X also think
that 1 had a pleasant spring surprise.

Once upon a time there was a great bat

"No," said his friend.
"Then I will fight."
The warriors shot, but not Rn arrow
struck Turtle, tor the two shields cov
ered his back,
'Why don't you aim?" he cried, "Are
you shooting at the mountain? Good
fighters you are Indeed. Try again."
The Indians all shot again, and this
time an arrow killed the wounded friend

Cotton.
By Volta Tmrrey. Aged 9 Years, Avoca,
. la. Blue Side.
The cotton belt of the United States Is
from the western plains to the Ap
palachlan highland and half way be
tween the Great Lakes and the Gulf of
Mexico. The growth of cotton Is very
Interesting. First It is a little blossom
full of seeds, then it changes to several
colors and at last turns white. Then It
la ploked and separated from the seeds.
But it takes real warm weather and
plenty of rainfall to raise cotton. Cot
ton Is then used to make rope, cloth.
thread and string Now since I have
told you all abbut cotton, I suppose you
wish to know the cotton states. They
arc Texas, Missouri, Florida. Alabama,
South Carolina, Georgia and Oklahoma,
and a few other states. There are also
many Important ports which are New
Orleans. Galveston, Norfolk, Charleston
and Savannah. Cotton is not made Into
cloth right where It grows, but Is ship
