TTTR OMAHA S17XPAY HKK: OiTTO'RKU W. M14. 0-B .8 The Busy Bees Their Own Page Y" T ALLOWE'EN season, that harpy time for all children, irlll soon ONE I be here. Thursday evening will be Corn night, hen all 1 I peaceful citizens must expect to have their quiet disturbed by M P the rattle rf corn on the w indow panes. Tha next evening is Cabbape niplit, when again the youngsters 'lll not heed the curfew nhifstle, but the biggest night of all is Hallowe'en, Saturday night. One of the favorite sports for any of these nights is to apply soap to the neighbors' windows, being careful to put it on thickly, so that the hottest water and most diligent application of "elbow grease" Is necessary to remove the trace of email boys having been there. Besides all the pranks that are played Hallowe'en night, there Is a l.reat deal of fun In building huge bonfires of the autumn leaves that ctrew the roadways and toasting marshmallows in it. Great care must bo taken, however, not to get too close to the fire on account of the danger. Hallowe'en season is a popular time for children's parties, for there rc so many attractive favors and decorations. Orange and black are the predominating colors and pumpkin jack o'lanterns, black cats, ghosts and it her witchlike or mysterious insignia are also in order. The editor hopes that all the Busy Been will have a good time and ! that after Hallowe'en there will be many stories of the good times you have enjoyed for the Busy Bee page, but you must bear in mind that there must be no wanton destruction of property or harm done to any thing or anybody, for that would spoil all the fun. Tills week first prize was awarded to Robert Mason of the Red side; second prize to Louise Fiegenbaum of the Red side, and honorable men tion to Margaret Parish of the Blue side.

This Is the second time I have written to the Busy Bees. Although I read and enjoy the stories, I do not have much time to write. This week I want to tell about a hayrack party we had some time ago. There was not much excitement In tha neighborhood, so some girls' got up a hayrack party. ' There were eighteen of us girls and two chaperons. We Intended to take our refreshments with us, but on acount of the threatening weather we did not. We had a good, careful driver. "We went way ou on Dodge street and back by way of the Field club to Bemls park. The weather turned off nicely. My! What a lot of noise we girls did make, singing and halloa ing. We got home about 9 o'clock In the evening and the stars were shining brightly. After we , reached home. ' we all bad Ice cream, and cake. They, all went td their homes merry- and Jisppy. Cora.

It is raised m al most every country having a warm cli male. The corn Is from six to twleve feet high. The stalk is jointed and a dark green when It Is growing, and when It Is ripe It Is a brownish color. . The leaves appear at the Joints. They are long and slender. The leaves slightly droop. The (lower sre the tassels and silk. If you k-ut tho tassels off you will not hae any corn, because the pollen drops from the tassels onto the eilk. which makes the kernel form. The ears have husks on for protection. Some ears have Smut on. that Is poisonous for cattle to eat. The different kinds of roru are red, yellow and white. There arc twelve to twenty- four rows of corn on a cob. The lowest ear are the oldent. The roots thnt sre the longest are the best because they can hold the most miUstu're. Tho color ot corn when growing is a dark green. The frost dries the corn and makes it a tan color. The Fox and Mr. Bear. By Maurice Flclschnian. 142 North Peven tornth. Mr. Fojt was hungry, but he had not laid up his stores for the winter as his neighbor, Mr. Rear, had done. So when the cold weather camo he had to run over the hills to the farms end run the risk ot being caught In the traps which the farmers kept ready for Tilm. "Mr. Rear sleeps all winter. ' I don't see that ho needs the food he has stored, anyway." Said Mr. Fox one evening when it was unusually cold and stormy. The more he thought, the, more he became convinced that Mr. Pear did not need the food and that It really did belong to him. So he changed his course and went toward the homo of Mr. Bear. He walked very care fully around the house and listened. Soon he heard a loud grunt, which frightened him so badly that he scampered awsy.
