HYDE March winds will soon be blowing and kite-flying time will be here again. If we are going to have some pew kites now 'is the tims to begin work on them. A novel kind of kite that will dis- tonguish itself among ordinary kites is a "tailless bow kite," since it is a high flyer and is successful without a dan- glirig cloth tail which has a habit of en- tangling itself in anything nearby. Lo build a bow kite, get two sticks, cach 5 ft. long, strong and limber. In cross-section, they should be 34 in. wide by 34 in. thick, Then get a sheet of light, strong paper about 5 ft. square. Set a small screw eye or large tack into each end of each stick. Spread the pa- per on the floor, lay one stick ( 0 along its middle, and the other (EF) across at right angles so that the cross- ing (H) is 8 in, below D. Fasten the sticks together securely by winding cord about the crossing Hh). Run a cord from each screw to the next (D to Eto] to F to D) tying it to each. Then mark the lines D » 32 JF, and FD on the paper. In cutting out the paper, cut along a line 134 in. outside the marked line to provide a lap-over 10 be pasted over the strings to hold | the paper to the frame. The bow shape is made by bending the cross stick (EF). To do this run a cord from E to F so that it passes on the opposite side of the paper from tite sticks, Then stand the kite on edge «with E on the floor, press down on F so as to bend the cross stick slightly toward the paper side, drawing up and astening the cord at F to hold the bend. . The bend should be enough to bring the string 6 in: away from tH The fying string (A) should be at- tached to H. Another cord. or belly band, should run from J a.#® be at- tached to the flying string at B, about 8 in. away from the kite. After the Belly hand is in place, sat it in two in ¢ middle and tie in a heavy rub band (C) as shown. vy ber (Tomorrow: Hunting Eye visits an army camp.) Adelia Belle Beard.

The rubber tree is a tree that grows in all the countries in South America that are drained by the Amazon River. It also grows in all equatorial countries. Each tree produces from ten to twenty-five gallons of sap. This 'is put into great large vats, and either put out in the sun or heated till the water in it is evaporated. The pure rub- ber is then put through large iron rollers and pressed. This, is then rolled up apd dried. To make soft ® rubber such as gas bags, gloves, rub- bers, coats and hot water bags, you mix sulphur and rubber and heat to a certain degree of heat. To make hard «rubber goods . such as canes, false teeth, buttons, and rulers, you mix the rubber with sulphur and heat to a greater degree of heat. To make coverings for telegraph wires, you mix sulphur, oils and pitch and heat to a certain degree of heat.-- Stuart G. Whitty, Macdonald school. Indigo. = The Phoenicians were the first people to use Indigo. It is a plant from which-beautiful dyes are taken, and is found in the equatorial coun- tries." The plant is like both the shrub and the vegetable, and grows from two to six feet in height. In the spring the seed is planted, and at blossoming time 1s cut. tl is later cut, and sometimes grows three times a season. The leaves 'are round, and the flower, which grows here and there on the stalk, is bean-shapéd with a blue or purple color. The plant is crushed, and a deep blue dye comes out. This dye is used for nearly everything. From fifty to sixty per cent. is the blue dye, and the rest is other ingredients. Indigo is used for the basis of black dye and for the printing of calico.----Edna Chap- man, Macdonald School. = A Lesson From a Shoe. "My mother always taught me," said the careful litfle shoe, "One simple rule of conduct which 1 will gladly. tell you, For I tind I fare much better both with friends and foes among, If I keep my eyes wide open. and al- ways hold my tongue." --Hilda McCammon, Macdonald school, aged 12 years. The Fire. Tom was on his way to school. "Want a ride," asked: Ben, as he rode up on his new bicycle. Tom ran happily out and scrambled up in front of him on a 'narrow bar which may not have been very comfortable, but Tom didn't mind that, Suddenly a dang, dang, clang, sounded, and down the street dashed the fire engines, "Let's see where they go," cried Ben, and instead of turning toward the school they hur- ried after the engines. | Away they flew after the crowd, but by and by Tom thought of the distance he was from ~and asked anxiously: "Won't we be late for school?" "1 suppose so, but I don't care, I want to gee the fire. Don't you?" said Ben. Tom wanted to see the fire, and more than that, he wanted to do what a big boy like Ben did. The right thing to do, he knew, was to go back to school, but what would Ben think if he did. Quickly he decided what to do. "If you let me down, I will go back to scheol," he sald quietly. A minute later Tom was running toward the school, while 'Ben hur- ried off to the fire, Tom had to wink fast to keep back. the tears; yet he was glad he 'had not gone with Ben. Suddenly he heard a whistle, and when he looked behind him he saw Ben. = d "You're a plucky boy," said Ben, Sand away they both hurried to But Betty in her eagerness didn't catoh hold of the beautiful dolly right, and, dear me, down it fell to the walk, and a big plece flew out of its head.

Last summer 1 visited my cousins in Glen Park, N.Y, One afternoon we took the trolley to Watertown, N.Y, to see a human fly perform. When we arrived there the square and all the streets leading to it A We managed to make our way through the crowd. A lady with a car gave us a seat. She had a dear little dog. The human fly "chose the Jefferson County Bank, a high, squate build- ing with a projecting ledge at the top. He started to climb up the front of the building by his fingers and toes. When half way up he slipped, and people ' all over the crewd screamed, but it was one of his tricks. When he would come to a window ledge he would dance on it. When he came to the top he swung by one elbow. When he reached the roof he took -the rope from the flag pole, tied it around to one foot, and swung over the edge of the building that way. He did many other things that made our hearts nearly stop beating. When.gone end wi at last he came down he took up a collection. "The next day he per- formed again. This time he gave the money he collected to be distributed to people who had been burnt out!in a large fire the week before. So you see he was as generous as well as brave.--Elizabeth Adsit, aged 10 years, Frontemac School. ~ The Old Fox and Her Young One. An old fox and her young one found their way to a yard where hens were kept, and one by one put a number of them to death. It was the wish of the young fox to eat them all then and there, but the old fox said, "We have had great luck, yet we must not eat all our stock at once, but put some by and come for it when we want it." "Don't preach to me,' said the young fox.: 'The fowls will net keep sweet a day, so I will eat as much as I can now." When the men come into the yard and see what We have done they will, of course, look for us." The young fox then ate such a meal that it was all he could do to crawl. Just then a man came into the yard and spied the two foxes. The old one immediate- ly ran and made her escape. But the young fox could not get through the hole through which he 'had come and was caught. The man took a club and killed him.--Doris Hurd, 11 years old. , Rover and Ruffles. There was once a big dog named Rover. He was-going a long journey one day and met a small brown dog named Ruffles. Ruffles was a very quarrelsome dog, and came up to Rover and growled and snarled at him. Rover did not pay any heed to him for awhile, but let him go until he could not stand him any longer. Then he started to fight with Ruffles. Of course, Ruffles was beaten, but it taught him never to torment another dog larger than himself. * Another day when Rover went in- to a store with his master, Ruffles "was there, but he did not growl this time, but wagged his tail and tried to make friends with Rover. Rover was willing to be friendly, and they became good friends from that time. ~Marion Birmingham. The Essay Contest. Essays for the contest heve al- ready begun to pour into the office.

These markers can also be made plain, and lettered, radish, tomato, nasturtium, and so on. If you have an eye to any ou will find these markers readily salable in the gift shops.
