Honor the Boys in Blue Every boy and girl of the city will be insulted if we say he is not patriotic. Hundreds of the boys and girls of Richmond have grandfathers who fought in the Civil war. How many of them attend a Memorial Day Service? How many ever stop to think that the unkind word they say to a grandfather who fought in the war is an insult to the Flag? Not long ago these grandfathers were Boys In Blue, who had sworn to die preserving the Union. These Boys in Blue stood for the Flag. Now they are old, but in their hearts is the same love for the Flag that made them enlist fifty years ago. These Boys in Blue meet on Memorial Day to pay respect to their dead comrades. They know that soon they will also join the ranks of the dead. Have you ever attended a Memorial service with the Old Soldiers? Have you ever stopped to think that you ought to join them in the solemn hour wheu they think of the days when they charged into shot and shell to preserve the Union? Patriotic boys and girls of Richmond must not overlook Memorial Q UERY CORNER Etoys and girls often ask their parents questions about things which they do not understand. Sometimes it is about a strange word, or about a foreign city, or a strange custom. Children and parents are asked to send these questions to the Query Corner. We will try to answer them. Here are a few that parents told us about: Q. How can you become an animal trainer? A. We do not know, but believe by joining a show after you have becpme a man. Q. What does "noodle" mean? A. It is a slang expression for head. Q. Which is the largest Sunday school in the city? A. We believe it is St. Paul's Lutheran. Q. Will you help me solve my arithmetic problems? A.No, you must learn that for yourself. Q. What is an upper-cut? A. It is a blow used by prizefighters. Q. How old is Richmond? A. One hundred years. Q. What Is a public improvement? A. If your father builds an addition to your home, or paints the house, is making an improvement. That is a private improvement. If the city decides to put down a new street, or make a sewer, it is a public improvement, because not one party but every one in the city is benefited by the improvement. Q. What's the Speedway. A. The name given to the race course where automobile races are held at Indianapolis. Q. Are theatres wicked? A. Not in themselves. They become wicked when wicked plays are given. Q. What is the Red Cross? A. It is an organization that looks after the wounded and injured on the battlefield and also helps where great calamities occur. Q. Why must we study history? A. Because you need to know haw men lived and what they did many years ago.'

PALLADIUM

Day this year. Let them stay away from school, if necessary, to pay tribute to their grandfathers and to the Old Boys in Blue. Selling Yourself Cheap High minded boys and girls respect themselves. That means they believe in character and a good name. They would not sell their honor at any price. You could not. offer them enough money to steal or do a dishonest thing. And yet, many boys and girls who have this respect for themselves, ofteu sell themselves cheap. Whenever a boy, ("earing the taunts and jokes of his companions, plays hooky from school, or s'arts smoking cigaretes, or lies to his parents, ho is selling himself cheap. Whenever a girl, fearing the teasing of her companions, tells a falsehood or neglects to do her housework, she is selling herself cheap. Why? Because they fear the teasing and jokes of their companions more than their character and honor. You cannot buy character. If you haven't a good character, you cannot go to a store and buy one. Character conies from the soul. It is priceless. So do not sell it cheap. Be brave even if it does hurt.

Here's Story About Fat Squirrel Which Lives in Glen Miller Park

Bob is the big fat squirrel who watches the children from the big trees near the pavilion in Glen Mil ler park. Sometimes he will hop alongside of the children as they follow the paths, but if anyone tries to approach him, he will whisk up a tree quick as lightning. Last November, Bob wasn't as good as he is now. He would not obey his parents. His mother taught him a big lesson and one that he will not forget as long as he lives. Bob would not help her and his father gather nuts to store up for the winter so that they would have something to eat when the snow was on the ground. One morning his mother said, "Bob, you help father gather hickory nuts today for our storehouse so that we won't starve this winter." Bob replied, "Little squirrels ought not work. They ought to have all the time they want to play and have a good time." "If you won't help your father, you cannot eat," replied his mother. But Bob seeing so many good things in the woods did not believe the time would come that ho could not find all the food he wanted. So he left his father do all the work that afternoon. When Boh came that night after playing in the trees and watching the boys and girls, he found that father and mother had eaten their meal and that instead of saving something for him, there was nothing left. He asked for something to eat, but his mother put him off to bed. Here he cried, but neither father nor mdther came to him. The next morning when he awoke he saw that his parents had eaten long time ago and that there was nothing for him. He cried for a little while and then said he would go out and find his own food. But his father said: "Young man. you go right back into the house in the beech tree. You will have nothing to eat until you learn what it means to be good and hungry." "So he had to stay inside all that day. The next morning his father asked him to help gather nuts for

Can You Crack These Nuts?

RIDDLES. Well how many did you guess? The correct answers are given be low. You ought to save your Juniors from week to week, so that you can compare the riddles with the answers. In this way, you will be able to learn the riddles, and the next time you are at a party, you will be able to ask your friends to solve some riddles. The answers to today's riddles will be printed next Saturday. Here are the answers: 1 Because they ride on the main (mane.) 2 Because it hasn't a curd (occurred). ?, Because it has "head" on one side and "tail" on the other. 4- -Becau.se he is seeking (seaking) what never was. ! Because its the soenter (center). 0 A Cock robbin' (robin). 7 Because none but the brave deserve the fair (fare). 5 R made her (Armada). 9 Because it is making game of him. 10 The word wholesome. SOME NEW ONES. 1 When are two kings like three miles? Find Kittens in High Girder What would you think of your cat if it made a nest high above a river in a large hollow girder. That i.s what Tabby, the pet cat of a bridge tender in Chicago did. When workmen who are repairing the bridge reached into a hollow girder they found a nest of kittens. The mother maltese who had taken up her home in the steel structure scratched the hands of workmen. The bridge tender rescued the cat and her kittens after they bribed the mother with milk. the winter. Bob went along without another word and when he came home at noon, his mother had prepared a fine feast of nuts. Bob enjoyed the feast very much. During the winter months when the lake was covered with ice and the ground with snow, TJob was glad he had helped lay in enough food for the whole family. They did not suffer. This fall Bob will lay in a big supply for himself and family, for he was married this spring. Black Sheep Teases Lambs Blackie is the name of a black lamb on a farm south of the city. He was given this name because of his coal black head. Blackie is the rough one of the flock. He has no respect for his elders. The other day he saw a big buck sleeping in the sun. Blackie lowered his head, and sneaking up on the short grass, gave the old buck and awful bump before he knew what was coming. The old buck jumped up and seeing Blackie nearby chased him into a fence corner. Then he gave him a hard whack. Blackie felt put out, because the other lambs laughed at him. Later he bumped every Iamb that had laughed at him. The lambs are afraid of Blackie, but the big sheep think he is only a Smart Aleck and later on may get some sense. Will Be Citizen Little Guiseppe lives in the north end. He is only three years old, but he is active and healthy. He is a little Italian boy, who some day will be an American. His mother is just as proud of him as your mother is of you. Guieseppe plays in Whitewater school yard and is happy that he has a nice playground. Not the desirable thing but the true thing is the thing you ought to strive for.
