Barton’s Hop Aboard A West Point Romance
A young lieutenant Barton at a Western fort imprints social schemes on a small garrison.

The Story of a Dell Bell Fund in Grosalaswits
In Grosalaswits Germany a single small church bell spurred a village effort. Schoolmaster Gottfried Hayn planted a six ear corn stalk and shared its crop with farmers to fund a new bell. Over eight years the crop expanded, finally yielding enough money to buy a beautiful bell, a tale of communal ingenuity.
