i' little girl writes poem I Violet Squier, of Kirkland Township, Tries Hand at Poetry The following poetry was written by ( Violet Squier, ten-year old daughter ( of Mr. und Mrs. George Squier, of Kirkland township. The little girl at- . tends school in a one-room school . house known as tho Peterson school, No. 1. She calls It "My Calendar for I the Year." j January 3 January with all its ice. f Mother in the cake puts spice. ! I. on jny feet, put skates. The snow is deep; the trees are heaped . With ice and snow so rare. I Jack Frost their boughs he gaily dressed. • And yet there’s heaps to spare. February The ground hog, though, his shadow [ comes. ’ And on the door, the children drum. • The sparrow peeps out from his peer, And tries to sing a hearty cheer. In the window, the children's face. ’ The snow piled high in haughty grace. Father, though his fingers numbs, ’ Comes to the house like a disgraced bum. March The wind doth blow, not a sight of * snow. ! The skies are gray at peep of day. Out goes the lion, in comes the lamb. Now we revel at the sight of ham. 1 At the sight of a spring-like day. Comes the children from their play. April Easter comes to remind us, Jesus died on the cross. To church the people go To sing carols sweet and low. Up the path you lightly trod, ' Picking flowers from the dampened sod. May Flowers are blooming; birds are sing- ( ing. Through the air their music ringing. The leaves on the trees are flowing; ’ Hard against them, the wind is blowing. June « me. the month for bride and groom. Flowers and bee in perfect tune. Hidden in her secret bower, Maiden and lover state their hour. When and where their wedding bells Flash the news their joy fortells. July A warm month, a very hot one. And with it comes the glorious Fourth. While flags are flying; bands are playing. rhrough the boughs, the wind is swaying. Men in the meadows making hay. Reaping grain day after day. August My birthday first of all so dear. When the exciting day draws near, When, I, the king of kings shall reign. When my head has a weary pain. My presents pile by the score. My Fingers ache more and more. When all the bundles are unwrapped, I feel if I had had a scrap. September School days have come again. And my lessons 1 must learn. All my summer days are gone And I sit in school and yearn. When the squirrels have gathered nuts. And stored them in their little huts. When the corn is in the shock. I, in my dreams and thoughts, are mocked. October Winter days are faintly calling. Brown leaves are softly falling. Jack Frost creeps o'er hill and dale Water freezes in the pail.' Nuts and fruits are stored away. While the authors come to say. I shall dine like king and queen. Through my long winter dream. ' I ('ranberry sauce is the thing for me. Mr. Turkey, don't you sec? You with other thing will be Fine to dine on Pilgrim's day. When we go to church to give Thanks to God that we have lived Through a year of toil and strife For a great and nobler life. December Old Santa Claus, when'will you come. You dance around tho chimney and hum. Your bag is filled with nuts and toys. >AII kinds ot presents, tor girls anil boys. ‘ ' The year is going; let him go. The bells ring out across tho snow. And now my story I will end. With peace on earth, good will toward men. By VIOLET B. SQUIER ■ ■ | ' —o Maurice Haney was a For' Wayne I i visitor today. I 1

French Hold Firm in Ruhr Valley Today (Continued from page one) milder language. They refused, whereupon the troop cut all wire communications with Berlin, isolating the Ruhr. Round about reports reaching Berlin today following extension of the state of seige told of the most stringent measures being Introduced in the occupied zones. These were said to include coutrol of all newspapers and a ban against certain German and Rhineland dailies because of their antl-French sentiments. The Cuno government renewed today itsprotest to Paris against the wholesale arrests of German officials. The French explained they are expelling all authorities who refuse to recognize the law of the invaders, but are not otherwise punishing them Two hundred delegates of miners and associated workers met at Bochum and denounced the French. It was decided to continue resistance to the end, regardless of threats. Report Twenty Killed Paris, Jan. 30 —An unconfirmed report from Cologne byway ot Brussels that twenty Germans were killed and others wounded in a clash with French troops at Boppart in the Rhineland reached Paris late last night. French officials were unable to verify the report today. Senate Kills Bill Aimed at Health Board (Continued from page one) county against Perry Faulkner, state commander, spread rapidly today. Four posts have defied the commander by adopting resolutions of opposition to the bill pending in the legislature to prohibit the annual 500mile auto races here or any. other commercialized sporting events on Memorial day. All post commanders of Marion < ounty will meet tonight and the general sentiment was overwhelmingly in favor of supporting the revolting posts. The Memorial Day bill became a question ot secondary importance as the battle waged. The real question at issue settles down to whether Faulkner could enforce his threat that posts opposing the measure would be suspended and state officers not in harmony with him would be ejeced. So bitter had become the feeling that secession of Marion county posts from the state organization was being seriously considered. This will probably be discussed at the meeting ot posts’ commanders tonight. Some members also advocated impeachment of Faulkner, who stood firm, and it was predicted among the ranks that disruption of the legion would be the outcome. German Language Bills Indianapolis, Jan. 30.—Bills legalizing the teaching of German in grade and high schools of' Indiana were ready for final consideration in the state house of representatives today, with the every indication that they will pass. A motion to prevent further consideration of tho measure to lilt the common school liars against the German language, lowered during the war, was defeated and the hill legalizing the language in high schools went through the last preliminarystage without discussion. The vote on the questions indicated the bills would be approved by the representatives and would be sent to the senate. Two measures recommended by Governor McCray in his message, to the legislature were being put in final form for introduction today. One would increase state fees on motor vehicles and the other would levy a tax of two cents a gallon on gasoline. Under the license fee law, the owner would be charged according to the weight of the automobile and the extent to which it would destroy a I road. o MET WITH CITY COUNCIL Representatives of Pennsylvania Railroad Co., in City Last Night Superintendent Jones, of the Pennsylvania railroad and Fred Zollars of Fort Wayne, attorney for the railroad company, met with the members of tho council last evening relative to the opening ami extension of Dayton avenue, west from the north eml of North Seventh treet. At a meeting of the council two weeks ago the Pennsylvania 1 raiti-oad, through 1 Mr. Jones and Attorney C. J. Lutz of this city, objected to the opening of the street. No action was taken at me caucus last night. Other business of importance was discussed by the com mittee but no definite action taken. Mrs. Jess Laßruu and Miss Vida Chronister were Fort Wayne viistois today.

Field Goals * • Headline in Indianapolis News: “Martinsville eager to take Vincennes' Scalp." Who wouldn’t be? Ohio State won her first Big Ten game ot the season out of six starts last night when she downed Northwestern 20-18. And to think Northwestern is the only conference school that has defeated Purdue this year. Greencastle wins the cookies for sportsmanship this season. On Friday night, when Greencastle was playing Danville, a Greencastle forward rushed down the floor and sank a beautiful field goal in the Danville basket. And to think, Danville was mean enough to take the game. Shootin' 'em and Stoppin’ 'Em, In the Indianapolis News, dopes out the present basketball season as follows: "The immutability of the natural law has no more prestige in the basketball season we are enduring than corn plasters in a home for the legless. If, as Bill Shakespeare said, ‘Consistency thou art a jewel’ most of the leading basketball teams of Hoosierdom are five-carat cakes of yeast. They win and then they turn around and lose and for no reason at all. Trying to pick a Big Ten among the high schools that will last overnight is worse than knitting a Northwestern sweater with furnace gloves on. Doping out the college situation is as pestiferious as spelling Renssalaer in a hurry if you don't happen to live here. Let's start all over now tnd if you're going to win, win; If you’re going to lose, lose. Then it will be possible to make a statement." Out of Bounds graced his column with a bit of poetry yesterday. Here it is: Who is it? LICK 'em all. COP the bacon. HIT ’em hard. SHOW 'em up. • FULL of pep. IN to win. VICTORY boys. EAT 'em up. Maybe that's a new yell Bluffton is going to use in connection with their mental suggestion between now and March 2. Two of the D. FI. S. guards are on the hospital list now and may not be able to play against Auburn at Au burn .Friday night. White is suffering with an infected foot and Farr tore the ligaments loose in one of his hands in practice last night. With Steele still inelligible and these two on the bench, it will be a problem for Coach Moore to find a guard to help Captain Teeple out Friday night. 1). B. Roop, of Pleasant Mills, was ii business visitor here today.
