The Busy Bees ASCINATING in their interest are the stories that boys and girls in public schools turn in to their teachers, so many of the instructors declare. Some times the stories are entirely original, some times they are the child’s impression of fairy tales, myths or nature stories which they have read or which the teacher has read to them. .Such aré the stories, written by Hazel Wickenberg, Anton Steiskal, Jennie Doylg, Sylvia Gustafson and Lillie Krepcik, fifth and sixth grade students of Miss Marian Fritz, language teacher at Train school. Each one of them is well constructed agd well written, neat in appearance and the Busy Bee editor is indeed glad to ;‘Sim them for other little Busy Bees tq read. . Hallow’en is the next event for the Busy Bees to celebrate, and since ‘this is distinctly a holiday set aside for boys and girls to observe, the editor is cxpecting a goodly number of Hallowe’en letters telling all about the jack-0'- | lanterns, black cats, witches, broomstickes, etc. Don’t leave out any part | of the fun.

By Eleanor M. Kirk, Aged 9 Years, Stockham, Neb. Red Side. I have never written to this page before, but I have decided ta tell you of my experience with an old gander. One day an old gander chased me | and so I thought that I would get even with him. Then I grabbed him by the neck and undertook to put him in the tank, for it"was nearby. I did not get my hand close enough to his head, and of course he wanted to es- | cape, so he bit me on th&yarm when petunia and vegbena talked together. It tossed.their heads to'and fro. It was windy all day. Towards eve- ning the wind was quiet, but it was very cold in the night. The dew | came down towards morning and be- ' gan to get white. It was trosi.. . .c| frost was very cold., The petunia lost all its beauty, but the verbena had all its beauty on and was as nice as it | was the day before. Soon a big frost | came and killed all the flowers, even the verbena. 2 An Exciting Journey. Their Own Page MZ Jeanetle Ruth Copenbarve SHE WILL BE A BUSY BEE IN TIME 1 was about to drop him in.

A Runaway, 3 By Edythe Olsen, Aged 10 Years, Weeping Water, Neb. Red Side. One night a couple of my friends, Thelma and \Lenora, came out and stayed. The next day was Saturday and we girls thought we would go hazel nut picking. We didn't get started until about 11 o’clock, and it | took us, about a half an hour to get there, because we had the pony. When we did get there, there were hardly any nuts. All four of us only got a sack full. On our way home we had to turn a corner, and there was a hill right at the corner. Fanny, our pony, stopped right on the hill \and started to back up. Il of us jumped out because the, biggy was just-about to upset. Just as soon 4s we got out she.got up -and started to run. She did not run far before she stopped. We were not very afraid, because a man was coming up the road. She broke some of the harness. { i All of us got in again but Lenora, and she wouldn't, get in for a long time. We téased her and said she would not”fall down, , When we got home w& tied the horse to a hay rack and went to the house. When we had told them all about it they laughed and said that we were making it up. We didn’t’go that afternoon 'because we were garden /gate. Lucian scolded Lilly and called her a “scaredy cat.” Next |/ week they started on another journey. Lucian took a great big stick that was in the hall and they went. As they were going out of the garden gate their big dog Rover followed them and they did not notice it. Before they left !hi #aid, “Goodby, old home, ! goodby.” After they had walked some time two great big boys came and tried to hit Lucian and Lilly. Their dog \knocked one of the boys down, but the other ran away. Lucian and his cousin’ went home saying, “We are not going on any more journeys.” 1" And this is what ended their second journey.

Then I wrdte, or composed, one verse that night; then kept on com- posing two or three lines until I had finished it. It took me abou two weeks to compase it. X Sunset.
