By no means can it be said that the ioys nad girls of & city or village wre the { only ones who ever throw rubbish > iittle | into the streets to make them unsilghtly. They may do their part of it, they may " tear up and scatter papers, kick boxas arqund and throw away the candy bags and wrappings of packages, but when they do so it is invariably because they have seen others do it and haven't had their attention called to the excellent ser- vice they can remder in not only refrain- ing from such habits or in removing such material as is bound to mar the neat ap- pearance of street, park or playground. There are no keener observers of con- ditions than the children, once they be- come interested, and certainly they are ‘bound to take pride in the appearance of their city. Onces I remember seeing a nicely dress- ied woman go along a well filled street | picking up every bag or plece of paper that she saw. She attracted much atten- tion by her actions and failed to get all { the litter, but it could not fail to be no- | ticed that she was collecting the material for the sole purpose of improving the locks of the thoroughfare, and her con- ecienticus though humfliating work which she did both to call attention to the un- attractive appearance of the street and to show what could be done if everyone was a bit more interested in tidy streets, had its good effect. Boys in some cities take a deep inter- est in giving much valuable assistance of a like character to officers of parks and public places. They see a chance to per- form 2 good service and tiey are quick to respond. It is so much better than try- ing to sec how bad a place can be made UNCLE WIDE- TO WINNERS OF PRIE BOOKS. 1—Dorothy Maleolm of Noryich—The Red Cross Girls Under the Stars and Stripe 2—Edward Lester of Boy Volunteers With the lery. —ida Plainfield—Th: British Arti Lifschits of Uncasville—The Camp Fire Girls at Onaway House. 4—Irene Evans of Plainfield—The At tomobile Girls at Newport. —Leona Comstock of Norwich—Six Little Bunkers at Grandpa Ford's. 6—Edna Dawley of Jewett City—In the Battle for New York. 7—Walter Eyrie of Waterford—The Boy Volunteers With the British, Artil- lery. §—Harri of Preston—Phil Bradley's Shooting Box.

One of my, best dolls T had for the bride and Teddy for the groom, and then the rest for the company. First I played on the piano a march called The Little Sage, and then I got up and pretended that I was the preacher, and then I said 16 Teddy: “Now, will you be good to your wife and carry all the wood in and never €0 away without telling your wife, also make the fires?” And then I said to his wife: “Now, will you obey your husband and make his beds?” And then I played another piece called Violets Blue, and then T went and got some ginger snaps and then gave each doll a tiny piece of them. T cut pretty colored paper dresses out of a magazine and took a pin and pinned one on me, and then I put on Ted- ay's coat, also Dolly's, and put them on one of our stair steps and that was their wedding trip. And that was the last of Dolly's and Teddy’s wedding. 4 GRACE EYRIE, Age 12 Waterford. Archie’s Reward. Archie was looking for a job.

Little Mary awoke with a look of dis- appointment on her face, for, pitter, pat- ter, the rain beat upon the window pane. Her friend was going to have a birthday party, whether it rained or not. Ter mo- ther had consented ta let her go if it was a nice day, 5o you can imagine how the child felt. Every nice day little Mary would go down strect in the afternoom, for two hours with her mother. Now that pleas- ure had been taken from her on account of the rain., Her mother was going alone and she had to tend the house. All the day she was as sulky as could be, but when her mother went, her coun- tenance cheered up, for an idea entered her mind. She thought to dress up and g0 to her friends, then come back before her mother. She then put on her pink {bonnet, took an umbrella and started out. By the time she reached the house her umbrella was blown to pieces, £o she cast it away. After a time she return- ed home and found her mother _there. The rain had drenched her and blended the colors {z eoat and dress together. For punishment she had to stay in her bed- room for a Weck and never come down- stairs. LILLIAN ANDERSON. Conn.

Mrs. Toscan Bennett at the Wednesday afternoon meeting: of | the. three day. session of the citizenship institute held at the county court house in New London. At. the Wednesday morning__ session, Miss Katherine Luddington of Lyme, re- gional director of the national leagus of women voters, gave a talk on the pur- Joses and ebjects of the league Dovid Hunter = Miller, a yrowminent lawyer in New York city who was the legal adviser for the American Peace commisison, at Paris, ing Tuesday evening at the institute, declared that the spirit of patriotism, of devotlon t> one's country, to its flag, and to its ideals .was one of the saving fo-ces in the civillzation of today. He said that every country of im- portance in the world except the United States, Russia and Mexico has joined the league of nations, and Mexico was not invited.. All the 13 neutrals invited to join tave accepted, including Spa‘n and Switzerland, Holland and the Scandi- navian countries, as well as Chili and Argentina and other South American states. “Indeed, nearly all Latin America is in the league. Even Panama and Cuba, in whose future we have an intimate interest are members. Most of the ter- ritory to which the Monroe Doctrine re- lates, is included. ~And at the meeting of the league mext November, Germany and Austria, as well as other smaller powers will join. “Now ‘I suppose some one is thinking that the league_ of nations cannot really exist without the United States. This has been said so many times that some people belive it. The idea has a very soothing influence on our national pride. But stop and think about it for a mo- men. Can any one seriously believe that an assoclation of all Europe, the whole British empire, Japan and China all South and Central America ,is an asso- clation which- is powerless, or unimpor- tant? On the contrary, even without the United States, it is by far the most important grouping of states that the world has. ever known. “The treaty of Versallles has been in force only six months or so, and the treaty with Austria went into force only thé other day, and it is not for us in the fnited States to say that inter- naitonal affairs can move very rapidly ! already dome js extraordinary. little as that fact is appreelated here.
