JUST ESQAPES DRAFT " kittle Green Paradise on Delaware Al most Wasn't This Year, but It's Open Today By M'LISS y Some day there may ba enough fresh !r and good things to cat for every child ; ' but Vintll that happy day, there Is "Soupy Island." "Soupy Island" you know It's that neat little, swcot lltt Brecn paradise down on the Delaware which staid grown-up folk8 In their Btald grown-up way Insist on call ing the "Sanitarium at Itsd Dank" has eomo Into Ha own again. The forty-first season Is on and the "J.ljzlo" and the "Johnnie" something moro than mere river boats to the kids aro once moro carrying their full cargo of exultant child hood back and forth from tho torrid, torpid city to the cool, verdant country. ISLAND ALMOST CON'SCIIIPTUD But "Soupy Island" almost wasn't this year The tragedy was ery nearly brought ,bout by virtue of a letter written by a high nnd mighty person called tho com mandant nt tho navy ynrd to Edwin S. Dixon, vice president of the Sanitarium " Association. This letter wanted to know 11 about tho acreago of the "Island" and what facilities It might offer for a train- ' ng camp should tho navy yard become ecii more overcrowded than It Is. In short. "Soupy Island" was In grao danger of being conscripted. But Mr Dixon wrote and explained how "Soupy Island" was In reality a training station; In fact, a life-saving station, with Us hospitals nnd BWlmmlng pools nnd play grounds, for tho soldiers nnd sallors-to-bo, and so tho commandant wreo back reassur ing him that unless tht. need for tho land became very, very dire, Indeed, "Soupy iBland" was 'exempted. As Tomboy Mame commented suc cinctly, "Gawd knows what wo kids would-a dono If they'd taken 'Soupy' away from us " TOMBOY JIA1IE IN NHW llOLK On tho opening day, which was yester day, Tomboy Mame, much to the disgust of tho gang, of which Mame Is the acknowl edged lender, appeared In tho new role of llttlo mother. Sho had a two-year-old brother In tow, and every tlmo It was Mamo's turn to be "It" sho had to stop and adjust for tho dirty-faced youngster what Colonel Henry 'Watterson has so aptly termed tho "neutral garment." "Say, Mame, stow tho brat In the ham- mlek," ono of tho gang advised, when tho gamo was held up for tho fifth time, "Whatcha bring 'lm fer?" Mame, long and stringy as n. new colt. whoso pipe-stem legs hae doubtless never ' known tho feel of a stocking, stuck her arms akimbo and delivered a broadside to be remembered for nil time "This hero kid," sho observed, "Is my brother and not your'n; nobody's nskln' you to look after him, nnd if you don't like what I'm n-doln' you can lump it." After all tho old games had been played, tho new hammocks trion out, tho newly landed sliding boards sampled nnd tho iwlmmlng pool lnnded in short, after ac quaintance with nil tho old familiars had been renewed and new acquaintances made, Mamo's gang, together with all tho other gangs which constituted the day's cargo of the John P. nnd Elizabeth Monroo Smith, trooped over to the soup kitchen. Here, audibly and exultantly, they gulped down as many bowls of tho nourishing liquid as their starved llttlo tummlea would hold And when a crackling lightning and booming thunder storm came up a,nd washed tho Island an even brighter green than it was before, It was all tho tired mothers could do to keep their kids from swarming out again Into tho drenching rain, where tho freo-for-all merry-go-rounds and swings beckoned temptingly. Every day nt Soupy Island, even a rainy day, la a good one, but the first dav of tho season is the best of nil. As Mame reiter ated as tho dny's fun grew: "Thank Gawd, tho guvment didn't git It." Farmer Smith's Column CURIOSITY My dears One day I was talking to some school children and I congratulated tho seventh grade pupils on molr good atten dance. Well, tho seventh grado spent recess try ing to find out how I knew they had the highest avcrago In attendance. It was really very simple, for tho record of tho various grades was posted In tho Principal's offico and all I had to do was to read It and figure out which grade was tho highest. Sometimes I say things In my talks to mako you ask questions. I want you to use your IMAGINATION'. I wish you Would understand tho valuo of C0UIOS1TY as an aid to arousing Interest. I received a letter tho other day which made me so curious I sat down and an ew ored It INSTANTLY. Can YOU write xae a letter llko that? I daro you to! Your loving editor. FAKMEH SMITH. STRANGE ADVENTURES OF BILLY BUMPUS MRS. COW '' By Farmer Smith It had been but a few short hours that ur old friend Billy Bumpus had been spending nt tho farm, but they wcro event ful hours for the family and the hired men. They-ovorslept Five o'cleck la the usual time for rising on the farm, but tho morning after Billy Bumpus had eaten a bit off tho rope that hung from tho bell and routed tho house hold out of bed, thinking, of courso, that there was a flro somewhere, tho cntlro num ber awoke at six and after. "If I ever catch that goat, I'll wring his rteckl" said tho farmer, at breakfast. "I have heard of trouble makers, but that goat will be tho death of me yet." "If wo loso an hour every morning on his account, I think It would be a good Idea to Pay some one to shoot him," replied the farmer's wife. "If you started to shoot him, lie would open his mouth and eat tha bullet when you old shoot It," said tho hired man. "Look here," said tho farmer, "You have oono so much talking, I will appoint you to get that goat How you get him, I care not, but you need not do any work until you get him and I will take a dollar oft your wages for every dny you do not got him." "That's easy," replied tho hired man, with a laugh. "I want Just a half a day oft I'll have him for you, dead or alive." And while this conversation was going on, our old friend Billy was helping himself to a pall of milk which was standing beside Mrs. Cow. "My, but that's good milk!" said Billy, licking somo of it off his chops. "Of course It le good milk, replied Mrs. Cow. "Do you know that cows are the taoet useful animals in all tho world t" "I didn't know that I thought goats were, Vm tho most usefuVJgoat in all the World.

He must roly entirely on himself In theso matters and not loavo any of them to tho builder whom he has employed It Is always desirable, oen essential, that tho builder be honest, but even though tho owner may be certain as to this, it is not good business to Invest so much money without knowing that ho has valuo receded. It has often been noticed that there nre many who, although good business men In all other undertakings, are veritable chil dren when It comes to building a house Tho next part of the- problem, tho plan nlng of tho house, should not bo so difficult Tho main Idea which a man phould try to keep out of his mind in doing this Is what his neighbor has or has not. He should plan his houso for himself nnd his family, a place In which to llvo tho quiet dally life. Ho should forget that ho will have friends to entertain, for if this Is dono occasionally, nnd I know all about It," n piled Mrs. Cow. Just at that moment Billy heard a noise and, quick ns a wink, ho scooted under tho barn and looked out. Ono of tho hired men had como for tho milk and when ho dis covered that tho pall was empty ho went straight to tho farmer and told him what had happened. "That goat has been up to mischief again," said tho farmer, as he started oft to look for tho hired man. Ho looked everywhere. Finally, ns thcro was nothing else to do, tho farmer thought he would tako a hand In looking for Billy himself. He looked under tho barn nnd could not seo Billy for tho darknea under the barn. Then ho went ncross to tho milk shed and stooped down to look there. Billy was looking. Oh I what a chanco. Without waiting, Billy Bumpus took a flying leap and his head landed squarely on tho fanner's coat tails. Tho poor farmer was young no longer, but ho turned a complete tomersault then ho lay quiet still. "I didn't know you had to kill people In the Industrial Army," said Billy, as he trotted back to the side of Mrs. Cow. "Any moro mllk7" asked Billy. "You havo had enough," answered Mrs. Cow. "So has the farmer," said Billy, with a laugh. There was another noise, but Billy did not wait to seo what It was. Ho disap peared. Newport Art Jury Selected NEWPORT. H. I- Juno 16.
