( 7 IT IS hard to write a Christmas editorial this year." uritea the editor of "The American Boy" In the December Issue. "It Is hard because Christmas thoughts and the carnage of warfare cannot walk hand In hand. In Germany, the land which gave us Christmas as we celebrate it, there will be more mourning wreaths than candle-trimmed trees. In England the England of the Yule Log and of the Carol Singers ;he muffled drum and the mournful majesty of the funeral march will place 'God rest 'you, Merry Gentlemen, let nothing you Dlemay." In Delglum but there Is no Belgium only desolation, smoking ruins, de astatlon. France, Russia, Servla, Japan, mourn their dead. Far off India, tropical Africa, American Canada have fed their sons to the cannon. Where should be bounty, tables spread for plenteous feast, there Is famine. Germany's toymakers have turned their hands to other uses; Europe, Asia, Africa even Australia and the Islands of the Taciflc feel the touch of actual war." ; We may not rejoice In another's misfortune, yet we may rejoice that his misfortune Is not our own. No doubt all the Busy Bees are celebrating their vacation and are joyful In anticipation of a visit from Santa Claus. I hope all the girls and boys have been so good that they w ill not merit disappointment. There Is still more than a week In which to send in votes for a new Busy Bee king and queen. All votes must be received before Wednesday, December 30, and the choice will be announced on the following Sunday. This week, firs: prize was awarded to Laverne E. Colson of the Rod This week, first prize was awarded to Laverne E.

I thought it was something crackling In th furnace, and I went to see. The cat had the bird and we could not catch tho cat. After awhile we heard a peep. We said that sounds like the little bird. We thought the cat had eaten it. Next day mamma was t weeping the floor and we found under the stove our little bird. Then we thought it must have been the bird we heard. The cat must hAve been scared and dropped the bird. How the cat got the bird was this way:' We put It in the eun to take its bath.
