The Busy Bees
Their Own Page
TUT. OMAHA SUNDAY UEE: MAY
ALICE ELVIRA CRANDELL of Chapman, Keh., and Burt Vlerllujt,
of Omaha are the new King and Queen of the Busy Bees for a
reign of four'months. .
The new queen Is 11 years old and won the attention ot
the Busy Bees by her sequel to that engrossing story. "Black
Beauty," which she has been writing and sending in to the page, a Chapter
each week. Alice also organised a branch of the Liberty BeH Bird club,
which has for Its motto "Protect Our Feathered Friends." The members
go on expeditions to study and sketch birds. They also put up bird houses
for their little friend's.
Alice is also' ambitious as a musician. She is studying the piano and
travels to Grand Island, a distance of about twenty miles, to take her music
lessons. She formerly lived In Omaha and often comes here to visit her
grandfather, C. F. Wheeler.
Burt Vierling, the new king, Is "a typical boy," says his mother. "He
Is Interested in all the ont-door sports In which all boys revel, but espe
cially is a base ball fan. He plays ball most all the time, but whence
tisn't playing ball he Is reading."
Burt has a very fine library, for Ms parents supply him with every
book in which he Is Interested. Last summer he was taught, how to swim
and plans to continue it at Carter lake this summer. He, too, is 11 years
old and Is in the fourth grade at Saunders school.
This week we are printing a packet of letters that fifth grade students
of Miss Lena M. Freiday at Shelby, Neb., wrote and requested their teacher
to send In. Two of them were prist winners.
First prUe was awarded to Harman Augustine; second prize to Georg
Blevins and honorable mention to William Orevson, all of them boys of 10
years of age and all belonging to the Red Side.

Little Stories by Little Folk
(First. Prise.)
Raises Chickens.
By Herman Augustine. Aged 10 Tears,
Shelby, Neb. Red Side. '
A thought 1 would write to the readers
of The Bee about my chickens. Iheve
200 of them. 1 feed and water them my
self, and (ret about thirty eggs a day.
W hen It Is warm I do not feed them so
much, because they can ret out .and
Rustle. I get about ninety ergs a day
In summer time.
I had three bantams, but. they fought
the others so much that I had to sell
them. I like to keep chickens because
they are so good to eat. This year I sold
ten of them for $1 each.
We have an old hen down cellar hatch
ing now. She set on fifteen eggs and
has thirteen chicks already. I fear that
if It keeps on snowing my mother .will
have to knit socks for them.
(Second Prise.)
Trip to South Dakota.
Br George Blevins, Aged 10 Tears,
Shelby, Neb. Ked Side.
. About half the way was so hilly that
we were started up one hill before we
were down the last one. Then the road
turned In smong buttes and bluffs which
seemed almost as large as little moun
tains. Later We came to a plain, then
we thought our troubles had ended, as
we did not see any hills before us, but
we hardly had Urns to think before we
came to a mud hole or sort of a pond
which extended clear across the road.
My father said It was not deep and
would be easily crossed. When we got
hslf way through this water the front
wheels skidded Into tho middle of the
. puddle and here we- stuck. Nobody was
. near to help, so my sister and I had to
take off our stockings and push the auto.
My sister had on a while cress and 1
my good blue suit. We pushed when
papa told us to push,' but the wheels
would turn so fast that they wouia pat
ter mud all over us. My sister came out
of the puddle with a white and' black
dress and our faces were cowered with
Mack freckles Instead of brown ones.
With all our hill and mud experiences.
every one of us enjoyed the trip very
. much, and I wish all the Busy Baes
could have been along. .

Birds to Exposition.
By William Orevson. Aged 10 Tears. Red

turn brown robin and love to travel,
and fly high ovsr the mountain One
day when I was In the sunny south with
. mv mother, she told me of California,
and of the exposition which is ta Cali
fornia, the Panama exposition.
I decided to see the wonderful cities of
San Francisco and San Diego." A few Of
rny companions went with me. On our
way we passed orange grovea.and prune
and pear trees. The first week It waa
very nice and warm, but the next week
it was stormy, and I wss very 'much
afraid, and had It not been for my brave
eomnanlons I would have lost patience
and turned back, but they calmed ma
down and I forgot my fear. About six
weeks we reached the city of San Diego.
I flew down where some children could
t me. and one chubby boy saio: iou,
fc.vM come to see the wonderful
itfhts." I nodded as If to say, 'Tea sir.'
This city was too large and exciting for
a poor robin who had lived In the far
south In a small village. s
So urging my companions to come back
with me to the south, they accepted, and
. In a few weeks we were again In our
dear Mttle village and a quiet and peace-
ful village It Is.

Ingredients are usually lacking In effect,
because the. Ingredients must be cheap,

Ppsnlsli flng, said that the Pawnee na
tion could not have, two fathera, they
must elther-be the children of the Span
ish king or acknowledge their American
father.
After a leng silence an old Indian rose
went to the door of the lodge, took down
the Spanish dag. brought It to I J eu ten
ant t'ike and laid it at his feet. He then
took the American flag and raised It
on the staff where the Spanish flag had
floe ted.
It Is believed by some that the place
where this took place Is shout eight
miles southeast of Hardy, Neb, Just
across the Nebraska line In Kansas. Hera
Is the site of a Urge Pawnee village,
stretching lor several miles along ths
banks of the Republican river, and here
In September, 1!""i, the atate of Kansas
raised a Tag snd erected a monument to
ninrk the spot where, 1M years ago, the
Spanish flag came down and the Stars
and Stripes were raised.
There are others who believe that the
Spanish flag came down In what la now
Nebraska, and that the site of an annlent
Pawnee village some miles further up
the Itepuhllcnn river la the plaoa where
Lieutenant Pike and his little company
of soldiers ssw ths American flag raised
ovwr the Pawnee nation.
Whether the apot where the Spanish
flag came down la In Kansas or In Ne
braska la not Important. The Spanish
flag came down' forever and in' Its place
rose the fltsra and Stripes. This brave
deed of the young lieutenant and his
men deserves to be honored In history.

KVA O. R. You have probably never
heard of the remarkable properties of
eggol as head-wash and dandruff re
mover. This dissolves awav fatty accu
mulations and dandruff, Which nothing
siae, not even soap and hard scrubbing,
csn do. A teaspoonful of eggol la halt a
cup of hot water makea the most exquis
ite shsmpno you csn ever get . It cleans
out all the porea wonderfully, and lets
the hair "breathe," thus assisting very
materially In making the hair healthy
and vigorous. I would never use soap on
hair. Eggol. besides, leaves the hair easy
to do up. It Is very economical, aa for a
moderate price you can obtain enough
esgol for over a doseo of these extraord
inary head-washes.
