Uses of Elecrrleirv. '
Ralph Barls. Aged 14 Tears. Eu.

Dear Busy Bees: The question has
been asked many times, "What can
electrical energy do?"
If one were to write about wjiat
electricity is used for and what it
could do, he would have a very large
volume. , r
Today, if we compare ourselves
with people who lived 100 years ogo
we shall find we have nothing to ay
about having to endure energetical
hardships.. Today we have our eled-
tncal operated street cars, by which
we can go from place to plaee in a
short time. We. do not have to
travel lengthy distances, wait a long
period of time, to send or receive
messages from a far-off country. We
have what is known as the wire
less telegraphy, which American
scientists have worked and' studied
to invent, by which we can send and
receive messages all over the world.
In a moment we an talk to a per
son who lives a mile or more away
by telephone. .
in early times people used crude
methods tor .lighting purposes,
Nowadays in a second's touch we
may have a very clear light for read'
ing and many other purposes. We
may go most any place at night in
our large cities and have little fear,
due to the electric listht system.
We find that electrical energy j's
a much more powerful . source of
energy than any other kind of
, energy. Were we to take two ot
our largest and most powerful steam
locomotives, 'couple them to one elec
tric locomotive, start the steam loco
motives until the rate of speed were
60 miles per hour, inside of the dis
tance of 10 miles the electric loco
ntotive would be going in the op
posite direction against the power of
thek steam locomotives. -That is one
of the many proofs that electricity is
a much more' powerful source ot
energy. ,'.
The modern , housewife in her
home today has all the modern on
vthiences of modern life. I might
mention a few of the numerous
things, for instance, the washing ma
chine, iron, hair cii-Ier, toaster, tea,
pot, electric fan, water heater, etc.
One may go down to Woodmen ot
the World wishing to go to the 18th
story; in a moment's time he could
step into the elevator and spin up
to the top.
.' Our scientists -are now trying to
communicate with spheres far away.
It is hard for the common mind to
comprehend a distance.- Did you say
in what way? By electrical energy,
of course. We wjll have to admit a
great deal of our'progress is due to
the city and she had 'an aunt who
knowledge the fact that electricity is
a "great and powerful soujee of
energy that will never die.

The Apples.
By Hasel Rellly. Agecl 12 Tears. St. Faul,
.v "Neb. -
Jimmy was spending the day with
grandma. He always liked to stay
with her, because she always had
good things to eat, and this time she
had apples, the best Jimmie had
ever seen.
He was sitting on the doorsteps
thinking what to do next, when he
suddenly thought of the apples. How
he would like to have some Just
then! So he tiptoed into the cellar.
He didn't know which one he liked
best, so he bit out of every one on
top of the barrel. He was still think
ing which one he should take when
there came grandma withja pan un
der her arm. .-''?
"Jimmie I" she exclaimed," what
every are you at?"
"Why, why," stammered Jimmie,
"'I wanted some apples.;'. . "
"Yes, I suppose . you did " said
grandma. "But you should have
asked me for them."
Then she saw the bites out of the
apples. "'Jimmie," she said, sternly,
''have you been eating these ap
ples?" 1 '
"Yes, grandma,' I have," sobbed
Jimmie. "Well," she said, I am go
ing to make an apple pie and you
can't, have any. And you may be
sure he never got into the apples

It was his left leg that was crippled.
I had him about two months, tnen

but a few days later he died. Thfr
mother and the' children tea very
sorry. , '
Their provisions lasted only ne
week and then they had no money
or food. So ose day Mary, the
oldest child, -said that she must get
work, because her mother was un
able to work. She talked the mat
ter" over with her mother, and that
afternoon she started out. When
she had gone five miles she came
to a city bv the name of Beokley.
There she found, work and soon
earned enough to go home again.
This kept them for a while, but soon
they had ho money again. So. their
mother said they must sell their pet
cow. The children hated to do this,
but finallv decided that they would.
And so the cow was sold, and
brought enough money to last them
for a long time. '

A Lazy GirLi
By Henrietta Tlarks, McClelland, la.
Once upon a time there lived a
girl "with her mother and sister.
This girl was bad and wicked. She
never would do any work.
Que day she said she was going
out to seek her fortune, so she set
out and finally she came to a witch
house. A witch came out and said,
"at last you are here, so now I will
make use of you." So she turned
her into a stone and went to bed.
The next morning she woke up and
said, "It is quite chilly." So she
took this statue of this 'girl and
changed her into a log of wood and
burnt her up: i "Ah at last I have
some heat," she said.

CHAPTER III.
Lights in 4he North.
The Beautiful Blue Goose flut
tered to the earth as though she
had been shot. The King of the
Wild Geese darted after her and
seized her by one foot, but she was
sr. heavy he couldn't keep her from
&oing down, down so swiftly she
was sure to fee hurt when she
landed.
Peggy and Billy, sailing along in
their feather airboats, felt powerless
to aid. The airboats were borne by
the wind and there seemed no way
to steer them.
But Billy noticed that as he lean
ed over the edge of the feathej- it
tipped, and the airboat turned a bit
that way. He crept further toward
the edge and the feather tipped
more at the same time it began to
circle around, like a boat with' its
rudder turned. That gave Billy an
u'ea of how to manage the airboat.
He crept forward and tipped the
feather downward. -That sent it
toward the ground. Then by mov
ing from one side to the other he
found that he could steer H wherev-
r he wanted to go. It took him
hut a moment after learning this to
send, the feather airboat swooping
down beneath the Beautiful Blue
Goose, who dropped right Into the
center.
The weight of the Blue Goose
vas more than the feather airboat
could tarry. It could no longer fly.
but while it sank swiftly toward the
carm it aio so gently ana smootnjy,
making a landing that was without
a jar, . Once there, Billy 'dashed

and this 'quickly brought her out of

back. :( ' -- ' " : i '"" :
Then the King and the Blue Goose
told their sad story. Six fine gos
lings had been hatched to them
early in the summer, and had grown
rapidly . until they were their par-
"We""wanted you to see thftn,"
said the King to Peggy and Billy,
"and so we set about preparing the
feast we had promised you. We
left the little ones at home one fine
day, telling them not to wander.
Alas, alas, when we came home our
little ones were gone and we haven't
been able to find a trace of them."
"We will help you search," cried
Billy. By this time the Blue Goose
had recovered, from ' her faint and
they set forth at once, for it was
already growing dark, the sun hay
ing set. ' - i
. But they looked and looked and
saw only the deserted land, partly
covered by snow. As they searched
the darkness grew greater until,
finally, they could not see their
way. - -
"'We will have to wait until morn
ing" said Billy, and Peggy shivered
as she thought of the long, cold
night in which they would have to
cantp in the open. '
But the words were scarcely out
of Billy's mouthy when a tall stream
of light shot up in the northern sky.
Then another, stream and another
until the heavens seemed ablaze.
"Electric lights," cried Peggy. "I
didn't know they had them away
up' here."
"They are the lights shining out
of the windows of Santa Claus'
factory," honked' the Blue Goose.
"He and his helpers are working
overtime getting ready for Christ

northern lights," exclaimed Billy. "1
never knew what they were before.
"Now we can go on searching,"
cried Peggy. They searched and
searched, and finally, far away, they
saw a village.
"Let's look there," suggested
kPeeTgy. ' . ' ' ' '
"Red trappers live there. We dare
not go, near them. We must fly
away quickly." I
"No," cried Billy. "If you have
searched everywhere 'in vain and
have not gone near the village, may
be that is where your little ones are
hidden., I'm going to see,"
up another way and started to chase
her back. She came on up in the

Chipmunks Store Away Food
For Winter Supplies and
For House' Parties

By MARGARET McSHANE.
(twenty-ninth Story of the Night.) -
The way into Sammy Chipmunk's
house was a puzzle.
After passing through the very
small front door Moonbeam fol
lowed her host down a slanting
path, ' which wa about three feet
deep. , '
The path joined a long hallway
that looked exactly like a tunnel.
It 'was very narrow and wound in
and oui through the ground for
quite some distance, and then slant
ed upward at the end.
Here Moonbeam and Sammy
came into the cosiest room you
ever saw It was Sammy's living
room and just as pretty' and snug
as could be. Lined throughout with
velvety green moss and soft dead
leaves? - It was most inviting.
Little, nooks made of piles of
mcss and-leaves were placed here
and there and Moonbeam settled
quickly down into one, 'as Sammy
looked about to see if I everything
was in good order.',
"Sammy," said Moonbeam after a
pause during which she gazed about
her. ".. i ' V . .
"Your home is perfectly lovely. It
is so warm and cosy here that it
just makes one feel like talking.
Who would 'ever think that there
were houses under . the ground.
Mother and Father Moon will
be so surprised when I return home
to learn that I have visited under
neath Mother Earth as well as on
top of her. . .";',
"Tn vnn lir Vipr all ihn vpa
taround Sammy?"
-"Yes, indeed," answered Sammy,
but we. enjoy it most in the Winter
months.
When it is very, very cold' and the
Wind howls through ' the trees,
making a most awful racket,, we
are mighty snug and happy in here,
ana . always warm no matter now
cold it, is up on earth. ,We have
plenty of room, too.,
And aammy took Miss Curiosity
into the next room.,
x j . . i I. i r t .
saw there? A large room " will
earthen shelves around four walls
Here stacks and stacks of nuts, ker
nels of corn and quantities of grass
seed" were piled sky-high. ,
Moonbeam was flabbergasted.
She gasped in surprise as she gaz
ed around at the food jars filled up
to their brims. She thought in all
her life -she had never seen so much
food."-. ' , -1 - .
Sammy ' was tickled to death
at . Moonbeam's surprise. He : sat
chuckling to himself and flapping
his- bushy tail up and .down, as. he
watched her eyes get rounder and
rounder.
"Why Sammy Chipmunk," sh
exclaimed at last, "What in the
wosld is all this food for?"
' 'Tor us to eat this Winter, anH .
we have enough to give parties,
too. ... ' , ,
.''Everybody on earth have pan
tries,' Moonbeam. Ours is a little .
more filled than others perhaps, but
that is because we cannot get food .
in the .Winter months like th
Humans.
"Our food does not grow then, so
we have to keep large store rooms
and 'gather it when it grows.
"This is a very busy time for all
Chipmunks, and each day we col
lect nute, seeds, and all the things
you see on the shelves, "s
'"Our habit of storing food like
this .gave Us our old-fashioned name
Tamais, meaning A Steward. The
name the people., who Jived hun
dreds of years ago called us by.
Isn't it funny? ,1 am glad the earth
people who live now do not call us
that. I like Chipmunk so much
better". In fact we all do. And my
first name. .'Sammy,' I aore.
"Now Moonbeam you can easily
understand why we Chipmunks are
always busy. '.
"I tell you my friend, it keeps us
hppping to fill our ftore rooms with
mcient food for tjie. long Winter
months." '
And as he spoke Sammy cast a
proud pair of eyes at the "goodies"
packed away on the shelf.
