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.

Hayrack Party. '
By Margaret Parish, 8i1 Uneoln Boule
vard, Omaha. Pluo 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.

. Corn la a kind of grass that . Is . like
Wheat, barley, rye and oats. It belongs
to the grass family. 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.
