20 The Target BENNY AND JENNY. Benny and Jenny went one day Out in the fields of clover; A hop and a skip, a jump and a trip, Over and over and over. Happily they went out to play, Into the meadows and far away, Over the hilltops and down in the lanes; But oh, alas! it began to rain. It hailed and it snowed; They began to roam, For the poor little dears Could not find their way home. i They hunted and hunted, round and round, For the little trail that led to town; And when they found it, oh what joy For the cold and rain-drenched girl and boy! MARIE McGUIRE. A SUNRISE. The stars were still shining when I awoke, but a faint streak of grey in the east warned me that dawn was near. Slowly the hills changed from black into deep purple and the stars went out one by one. Soon the few tiny clouds which hung in the sky, turned to a rosy pink. Gradually the islands in the baj became more and more distinct; it seemed as though a mist were being slowly lifted, disclosing all of the familiar objects which the darkness of night had enveloped. As the sky faded, the hills changed from rich purple into lavender, then into brown and finally into a faint green. Sud- denly over the crest of the hills the sun peeped — and the day was begun. BARBARA HAINES. YEAST. Once upon a time (for that is the way all good stories begin) there lived a tiny, tiny plant; in fact, mil- lions of tiny, tiny plants. Where did they live? Why, they lived almost everywhere. They were float- ing about in the air, living on grain, on plants and all sorts of queer places. Why couldn ' t you see them? My - dear, they were so very, very tiny you couldn ' t see them exce pt through a queer kind of thing called a microscope. Now, don ' t you dare think this is a fairy tale, because these little plants are all about you right now. Do you know that the delicious bread mother makes wouldn ' t be good at all if it wasn ' t for the little yeast plants? Just let me tell you about it. Yeast grows just like any plant, but it must have a nice warm, sweet, moist soil with protein and mineral matter before it can grow. But what do you think? Yeast doesn ' t like dirt; its soil is dough. The sugar that mother puts in makes it sweet, the milk or water makes it moist, the flour furnishes starch and pro- tein, and the. salt— mineral matter. The dough is then put in a warm place for it to grow. It does grow, too. The yeast turns the starch into sugar and forms a gas. Then this gas tries its very best to escape, thus raising the dough. Mother than takes it, kneads it, and cuts it into loaves. The loaves are allowed to rise again. Then they are slipped into the oven and baked until they become the nice brown loaves you eat for dinner. Now, what do you think of your little helper, yeast? ELEANOR EVANS.
