Inside each berry are one or two seeds or beans which form the coffee of commerce. The seeds are usually alf globes, ntted together with. the flat sides facing each other and sur- rounded by a sweet, fleshy pulp. The berries grow close to the stalk all over the tree.

Henry Hudson. Dear Uncle Jed: We have been tak- ing the Norwich Bulletin for two years. Every Thursday I look for the Wide-Awake Circle. 1 read some of the interesting stories in it. This is my first story to the Wide-Awake and I am_hoping to be successful. Henry Hudson set out in the Half Moon with a crew of twenty men, Dutch and_ English, from Amsterdam, March 25, 1609, in the hope of discov- ering & northeast passage to the Dutch East Indles. Having to dispute for more than a night with continual fogs and los he left the place and tricd to discover a passage by the southwest. He reamehed Norway and from ther sailed for the Ferol Islands. He reached the coast of America about July 12 and continued steering west- ward. -On August 20 he discovered Delaware Bay. From this anchorage northward and finally regched Sandy Hook bay. On Sept. 11 Hudson sailed| through the Narrows and anchored in New York bay. The next day, Sept. 12, 1609, he en- tered his memorable vovage up the majestic stream which now bears his name. It is supposed that the highest place which heé must have reached in the river was the neighborhood of the present site of Albany. SOPHIE GASKA, Age 11. Jewett City.

He came running up the ave- nue one Saturday morning when I was helping mother so I did not have time to_take much notice of him. He went to one of our neighbors and she and the lady upstairs decided to keep him to catch mice. One day I heard a_ittle girl say to one of the ladies: “If I were you I would have the tafl end and let the other woman have the front end. “And the lady said: “Why”?

THE RED CROSS TRANSPORTATION SERVICE Its Purpose Is to Handle Vast Qusn- ti of Medical and Relief Sup- plie: (Special to The Bulletin.) Washington, D. C, Sept. 5—To bandle the vast quantities of medical and relief supplics now being shipped almost daily to the Red Cross com- mission for Europe to aid the stricken Deopies of France, Belgigm, Serbia, Russia and other’ bellig#fent coun- tries, the establishment of a Red Cross transportation service is an- nounced today by the Red Cross War Counctl. This new branch of Red Cross ac- tivities has been made possible through the. cooperation. of the French, British, and Italian govern- ments,” the United States shipping board, and the leading steamship and railroad companies. President Wil- son has taken a personal interest in the establishment of this service. His aid and that of Chairman Edward N. Hurley, of .the shipping board, for- merly & member of the Red Cross war council, have been invaluable to its success. Practically all the cargo space need- ed for the shipment of Red Cross sup- plies abroad has now been placed at the disposal of the war council. Much of it has been given free by the steamship companies and the allied sovernments. This will only be used The Cat and the Orioles There was a cat lving in the coun- try. He was very fond of birds. He did not belong to me, but he used to follow me just the same. One day as T went to the potato gar- den, he followed me.

Fetterolf, freight trafic manager of the Inter- national Mercantile Marine Company who is to serve without salary. Mr Fetterolf is to be assisted by A. F. Mack. president of /the Cosmopolitan Shipping _company, 'also a volunteer, and by Walter Moore, of the firm of Lanham and Moore. Mr. Moore will be in charge of the booking of all Red Cross shipments. The railroads war board, controll- ing the rail shipments of all the rail- Toads in the country, has also noti- fled the war councli that Red Cross shipments going to the seaboard or elsewhere will be exempt from em- bargoes which will give them the right of way over all freight except that of the government. The allied governments especially have responded generously to the needs of the Red Cross. Following the recommendations of M. -Andre Tardieu, French high commissioner to the United States, the French gov- ernment has given permission for the forwarding of Red Cross supplies on French transports leaving this coun- try. Space has also been provided on steamers of the French line, through the assistance of M. Oscar Cauchols, | American_director for the line. Jewett City. Cuttie Dear Uncle Jed:—I live in the coun- try on a farm. and I have many pets to_tell you abdut. I have a little dog, named Rover. He has lght curly h;lr and jumps, runs and barks when I play with him. I have a banta hen with five little chickens which are very cunning.
