Vou are so intereited in your
own Junior Red Cross that I know
you will be glad to Ijear what the
Cuban children are doing. In the
beautiful city of Havana where toft
winds blow and where there are no
cold snows or biting frosts the boys
and girls are mobilized for service
just as you are.
The Cubans love the United
States and so are eager to help our
great Red Cross for in their time
of need the Red Cross helped them.
The little girls wear white nurse's
costumes with long white veils with
the huge red cross in front and the
boy scouts wear arm bands of white
with the cross in red. A tag day
was organiied by thirty of these
girls and several of the boy scouts
and these young patriots went from
shop to shop, in the cafes and offi
ces and how much money do you
think they made? At the end of two
days they had been given more than
$6,000. Wasn't that a wonderful
thing, for these boys and girls to do
lor us?
A Reunion.
?A real reunion day la being
planned at Park school- Many,
many boys and girls now grown to
Jtian and womanhood remember
their happiest days spent in the old
tA hrirk huilrline. Now that the
new one is finished they will be
eager to see that too, and so this
reception will be given. Many of
them are far away, even an ocean
seoarates some of them, for you
see the young men are now fighting
for our country. But those of the
former pupils who are in our city
will come and it will be a happy
day indeed.
Our Uncle Sam,
- "Why do they call the United
States Uncle Sam?" asked a curious
little boy the other day. This is what
his mother told him. Many years
ago there was a man named Samuel
Wilson. This man was a major and
was army quartermaster, which
means that he had charge of all
food supplies. When things came
in to the station marked "U. S.
Army," the boys all said. "Here
is something for Uncle Sam's army"
and after a while everyone was
calling the United States Uncle
Sam, just as they do now.

THE CHINESE BOY.
When the Chinese boy is old
enough he grows a queue. This
event in the boy's life is as im
portant as our American boy's first
long trousers, and he feels that now
he is no longer a child but a man.
The queue has many uses. In
many of the games played by
Chinese boys the queue figures as
an important factor. In geometry
it is used to strike an arc, or draw
a circle. The laborer spreads a
towel over his head, wraps his
queue around it, and makes him
self a hat. Cart drivers whip their
Two By cMts
mules and beggars frighten away
dogs with their queues.
When a Chinese parent takes his
son for a walk he does not hold his
hand but takes hold of the queue.
When little boys want to play horse
they use their queues for reins.
What can little Chinese boys do
in these days without the queue, be
cause the mandatt was issued to
cut off all pigtails and China is a
nation of strict laws and their en
forcement TOTTY'S WOOLLY LAMB.
Where'd my woolly coat come
from, mother?" asked Tot Bailey,
one day soon after the coat came
home from the store.
"Why dearie, we bought it in the
store," answered mother, without
looking up from her book.
"I don't mean that; I mean when
it wasn't a coat at all just wool."
"Oh, the wool came from a sheep,
and I suppose the lamb's wool in
your coat must have been sheared
from a lamb," replied Mrs. Bailey,
smiling at Totty.
"Well, then, I jus' want to see
that lamb and, thank him. 'Cause
my coat is the nicest one you ever
see'd."
Soon after that. Tot went out in
an automobile with her aunty,
While going along a country road,
Tot shouted out for them to stop
the car.
"He's the one. I know'd him in
a minute Let me out quick be
fore he gets gone," cried Totty anx
iously. Uncle stopped the machine and
Totty got out followed by Aunty.
Her chubby little legs went as fast
as they could back toward a field
that was enclosed by a stone wall.
"Aunty, that's him the one that's
shiverin 'cause he let me have his
wool; let's take him home for the
winter, he can have my warm bread
and milk," suggested Tot. as she
pointed a fat finger at a dear little
tamb that stood near by bleating
for .his mother who had strayed
to the opposite side f the field.
Aunty thought the little lamb
would run if Totty called him. But
she knew Totty felt so grateful to
him for her coat that she just want
ed to love him for it. so when Uncle
came up an1 beard about the lamb's
present to Totty he lifted her over
the wall so she could pat the lamb
And l't1e woolly bmh came right

to her uncle and aunt.
Now what do von suppose she

They stand for its future, its strength and foundation,

Who'll drive from this worid its surcease of sorrow
And make it a home of the free.
Byron and Chesley stand resolute, steady,
And with all their comrades they hold themselves ready
To keep freedom's banner unfurled;
And when all our boys with the Scouts stand united;
When standards are flying and campfires are lighted,
Their spirit will reach 'round the world.

War Shoes.
By Florence Hahn, 623 West Charles
Street, Grand Island, Neb.
Age 13.
I was one of a pair of brown
shoes and I lived in a store. My
mate and I were in the showcase
and we had a sign on us saying
War shoes.
One day a man came in and
bought my brother and' I, and nine
other pairs like us. The man took
us to the postoffice and mailed us.
We then traveled a long way, both
on ocean and land. We then ar
rived in France. We were taken
to a place where many soldiers
were and one soldier named Ned
put my mate and I on his feet and
he and many other soldiers rushed
to a place which they called a
trench and got down in there. I
got very muddy, but then I didn't
care, as I knew I was in the service
of Uncle Sam, and I was very
proud.

The Little Willful Princess - -dwmcoit
EVER since the day in the forest
when Prince Rupert had been
wounded by the robber, or
ders had been given by the King
that hereafter, if the little princess
wished to go into the forest she
must have an escort. This, of
course, was rather trying to her
small highness, whose self-will
brooked no authority whatever. It
seemed at times as if she could
hardly restrain her desire to rush
of! and wander deep into the silent
shadows that seemed to beckon her.
The very wind in passing seemed
to say, "Come, let us go, you and
I. into the forest" Finally, one
bright afternoon while her cousin
and the monkey were off hunting,
the little willful princess made up
her mind that she would go just a
little way into the woods. As she
passed the lowly cottage of Michael,
the gardener, the great hound Hou
dain came out to greet her, and, as
if divining that she might need him,
followed her across the meadow
and into the forest The little brook
that had been her guide the first
time she had visited the old peasant
sparkled and gurgled at her feet
and a speckled trout darted to cover
as the hound waded in and com
menced lapping up the water. Over
head in the leafy boughs the
naughty little breeze that had whis
pered to her earlier in the day again
called softly: "Come, let us go to
gether, you and I, into the forest"
' The little willful princess paused,
debating with her conscience as to
whether she should disobey her par
ents, and while thus wondering as
to what she would do, a little ball
of thistledown, which had been
blown toward her on the wind,
caught on her skirt Still uncertain,
she picked it off her gown and turn
ed it over and over in her hand and
picked it to pieces, then brushed it
eff, when, oh wonderful! it imme
diately changed into a white ribbit.
with the softest fur and the longest
ears that ever were.
"O BunnvT crted the princess, de
lighted, and she stepped forward to
smooth the lovely creature with htr
hand.
She had scarcely touched it when
it gave a little hop, and sat down
again, just out of ehr reach. i
"Bunny, Bunny! poor Bunny!"
cried the princess, coaxingly, creep
ing after it, so anxious was she to
catch this little white, four-legged
beauty. "I won't hurt you, poor,
poor Bunny!"
But the rabbit watched her with
its mild, timid eyes, and gave two
leaps, as light as a feather, and as
noiseless, and sat down again. The
little willful princess crept up, "still
coaxing and promising not to hurt
it; and when she come quite near,
she spread out both hands, gave a
spring, but caught a whole handful
of grass right where the pretty crea
ture had sat that very instant. It
was gone, and looking over the
brook, she saw it hopping away into
the forest, in the most graceful man
ner, but not half as fast as a girl
could run. So the little willful
princess resolved to chase it, and
jumping over the brook, hurried
after it, and came up to it just as it
paused on a little grassy hummock.
She grasped eagerly with both
hands, and caught another big tuft
of grass between them; but away
went the rabbit over a fallen log.
across the large, open sunny space,
making wonderful leaps, so long
and light and high that sometimes
it seemed to sail on the air on
win s.
The little princess ran after it,
wild with excitement. Now it
slipped through her fingers just as
the pounced upon it, thinking she
had finally caught it Now it darted
to one side behind a stone, avoid
ing being captured just in the nick
of time. At last it squatted down
against a 'stump. Almost vcrying,
he was so vexed and tired and far
from home, she came up to where
he sat Bunny did not stir, but
only winked a little, and pricked
up its pretty ears.
"N'ow. I'll have yon cried the
princess when, lol She heard a
short, sharp laugh clost at her
side. Looking up, she perceived the
Dwarf King right before her, hold
ing a square mirror, over which
peered his keen, twinkling eyes
and grizzled head circled with the
ring of gold.
"Look here, child 1" and he
tapped the frame of the mirror.
The princess looked and beheld
therein her own figure, her skirt
torn and soiled, her pretty straw
bonnet bruised and askew over an
ear, her face covered with dust,
through which ht tears made lit
tle crooked paths'.
"Oh, dearl" exclaimed the prin
cess, rising from her stooping posi
tion, as of course it was necessary
for her to lean over very much in
order to look into the mirror which
the little man held as high as he
could reach, "What a fright I ami"
So shocked was she at her ap
pearance, that "she forgot to be
amazed at the sudden apparition of
the dwarf, to say nothing of the
fact that she had without question
or surprise followed his command
and gazed into the little mirror.
Yet one thing made a deeper im
pression on her even than that of
her appearance, and that was the
willful expression which she saw
even beneath the grime and dust. It
was this sudden realization of what
this meant that sent a little pain to
her heart Had she forgotten the
lesson she had learned more than a
year ago. when she had looked into
the magic shield of the strange
knight Had she, indeed? The tears
began to flow afresh, as she turned
a miserable little face to the dwarf.
"There, there!" he said, "take
heart my child, take heart Wash
thy face and gather grace. There
is the spring that sings amidst the
grasses yonder. See, close tc- the
great stone cross."
As she walked over to the spring.
Houdain pressed his great cool nose
against her hand, as if to offer her
sympathy. And the white rabbit
never moved as she and the great
hound passed close to him, strange
as it might have seemed to her had
she not felt so guilty, remembering
how she had again disobeyed her
fond parents. Perhaps Houdain
knew the rabbit was a pet of the
dwarf's; perhaps he felt he was not
an ordinary sort of a bunny, as in
deed, he was not; for whoever heard
of bunnies springing from thistle
down? Mayhap the rabbit still had
the appearance of a ball of thistle
down, to him Who knows. At any
rate, one of these reasons must be
taken as the explanation of the big
hound's friendly attitude towards
the white rabbit.
The little willful princess rid her
face of the dust, tucked away the
tangled curls of her hair, and turn
ed again to the mirror with a smile
that showed her small white teeth
and printed many a dimple deep in
hT rosy cheeks and chin.
"I left my vanity box at the cas
tle 1" explained the princess, some
what abashed as she turned from
the mirror, not having as yet, on ac
count of her youth, had many oc
casions to powder her small nose.
"Thou art a pretty one," said the
dwarf, "but fair of face makrth not
a heart of grace. That which we
would have often turns to no ac
count," and with these words he
turned and pointed to the spot
where but, lately sat the white rab
bit. Instead, there clung to an over
hanging twig, a small round ball of
thistle-down, which swayed to and
fro in the wind.
"Thou hadst no right, child to
disobey thy parents. That which
thou sought has turned to naught!"
Even as he spoke the wind lifted
the feathery ball from its resting
place and bore it down the path-
wav ot the forest,
swered, "but 'twas no ordinary
temptation that led me into this
forest One does not see, every
day, thistle down change into the
form of rabbits." Saying which, she
turned with haughty air and walked
swiftly homeward. Houdain
trotted quietly by her side, while
the little breeze that had early in
the afternoon whispered so tempt
ingly in her ear to come into the
forest, now said nothing at all.
Mayhap it felt sorry for the little
princess, for presently it brought
the echo of a laugh, at which the
princess halted and stood still list
ening. Houdain sniffed the air with
his great nostrils. The sound of
hoofbeats came clearer and clearer,
and presently Prince Rupert and
the monkey came riding into view.
At sight of the i little princess they
immediately dismounted and kissed
her hand.
"What brings you here alone,
cousin?" asked Rupert, still hold
ing his cousin's small hand, " 'tis
hazardous indeed for you to be
alone?" But the princess did not
answer. She was gazing intently at
a little bunch of thistle down that
rested on the lapel, of her cousin's
coat. Indeed, on looking at it closer
she saw that it was fastened se
curely with a thorn.
"What fair fay presented you this
boutonniere, Cousin?" asked the
princess, with a low laugh. "Wast
thou, too, hunting rabbits?"
"Indeed, yes," answered her
cousin. "But my eyes must have
played me false, or else the rabbit
was most agile, for when I ran up
to take it, after it fell over with
my shot, I found nothing but this

in her honest little heart, that the
rebuke she had at that moment re

red in her cheeks showed that she
resented the dwarfs words. With a
courtesy, she replied:
"Methinks I have but rightly de
servgd your reproach," she - an
princess still remained silent.
"But why the curiosity? Does it
not make a fair appearance?"
"Yes," she answered, "will you give
it to me?" And Prince Rupert
gladly loosened the thorn and
handed it to his fair cousin, think
ing never for an instant that she
wanted it for any reason except

Come, citizens of America, you
give your money to help win this

liberty shall not perish from the
earth. Buy bonds. Anton Ort,
aged 12, Train school; Miss Kent,

Buy a bond! Buy a bond. Help

so we won't be ruled by" the kaiser
or his sons. That all countries be
free and all have republican form of
government Anton Stejskal, aged
13, Train school; Miss Kent,

We must buy bonds to win this

Our country is fighting for its
life. When we have peace the basis

We must buy bonds to supply our

to fight Cirino Finochiaro, aged

The boys in France are ready to

Louis Fellman, aged 13. Central
High school; Miss Griffin, teacher.
We should buy Fourth Liberty
bonds to support our boys who, to

What are YOU doing to end the

to furnish one or the other. Which
do you choose? Uncle Sam is not
a robber, yet he says: "Your money
or your life." Your money is valu
able so is your life. Which will
you give? Frances Hathaway, aged
13, Dundee school; Mrs. Helen

We should buy bonds to make the

The Fourth Liberty loan Is your
opportunity. It is the most direct
blow that can be struck at German
military supremacy. It is the best
aid that can be given our soldiers in
France. It means rifles, helmets
and gas masks, the best protectors
for our men from German brutality.
It means big guns, shells and air
planes and victory. Charles Vane
cek, aged 11, Train school; Misl
Kent, teacher. h
We should buy bonds because our
country needs our help to supply
our soldiers to conquer the kaiser,
and his sons. We should buy Liberty
bonds to save the Belgian babies,
to save France and all nations. W
should buy bonds so liberty shall
not perh from the earth and wei
should stand by her forever. We
shall not let the kaiser get hold of
our lands. If we do we will beslavea
forever. We will fight and fight
till Germany signs the peace treaty
made bw,ur allies. It takes men to
fight and that takes money. Ed

We must buy Liberty bonds to

buy a liberty bond. Helen Nickel,

Slaves of Germany we will never be.

If the people of America go over -i f.
