, Growing Trees. This spring you undoubtedly saw men driving poles beside little trees, and tie the trees to the poles. Do you know why they did it? If you noticed closely you saw that the little trees were crooked and that the men were tleing bands around the crooked places and fastening them to the poles. They want the tree to grow straight, so they bind It to a straight stick. Sometimes you wonder why your father and mother are so strict with you. You cannot understand why they have made rules .about going to bed, staying out at night, asking for permission before you leave the yard. They do it for the same reason that a gardener ties little trees to straight poles. If your parents did not watch you carefully, you would grow up crooked and warped in stead of straight and good. The rules In your home are little strings ; tleing you to the straight pole of honesty and good character. If you submit patiently you will grow up to be good men and good women. Lucky Boys and Girls. Often you think that John or Mary are lucky because their fathers have much money and can afford to buy them fine clothes, costly playthings and let them have almost everything they want. Then you believe you are unlucky because your father cannot do it. Did you ever stop to, think that you can be happy with very little. There is not a boy or girl in Richmond who cannot go out to Glen Miller park and have a good time. Take a walk along the creek and go fishing and you will have a good Listen to Tales of Early Days Boys and girls ought to take great delight in letting their grandparents tell about the old days of Wayne county. Richmond looked quite different sixty and seventy yearB ago. The city was only a village In those days There were no factories, no big stores, and where many of you now live, the farmer drove his plow or the cattle fed. If your grandfather tells you about these days, write us about it. We will bo glad to hear about it.

time. Go to the library and take out an' interesting book or magazine and you will have a good time. Some of the biggest men and women in the United States did not have many toys and a good time when they were little. But that did not make them unhappy. They just said to themselves: "I could be worse off than I am now," and then they considered themselves lucky. Pirates of Today. "My name is Captain Kidd, as I sailed, as I sailed." Many of you have read this old song in memory of the best known pirate of a century ago. Captain Kidd made his living by preying on commerce, robbing ships and sinking them, man and mouse. When we read stories of the adventures of these old pirates, we congratulate ourselves that we are making an honest living and do not resort to burglary, piracy and murder to earn our money. And yet, we may be in the same class with Captain Kidd. Do you know that there is only a difference of degree between the boy who steals apples, marbles, fruit or vegetables and the pirate who steals gold, silver and precious stones. Both are thieves. Of course, the' pirate Is the worst offender, but the boys or girls who steal also are thieves. You need not sail the seas to be a pirate. You can be a pirate in a town like Richmond which has no navigable rivers. Every time you steal anything, even if it is a rose from a bush, you are in the pirate class. No one would like to bo called a pirate. To escape that name you must be honest. The correct answers to last week's puzzles are given below. What luck did you have? Did you save last week's Junior, so that you can compare the answers with the riddles. Why don't you cut out the saving the whole Junior, and paste them in a book? Here are the answers: 1. When they make a league. 2. When they are candid. (Candled.) 3. Because for every grain they give a peck. 4. The new moon, because the full moon is a great deal lighter.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM, SATURDAY,

THE FIRST CHURCH BUILDING ON WEST RIVER IN DALTON TOWNSHIP

BY LOIS E. MACY. Soon after Indiana was admitted into the union, there was quite an emigration from Tennessee and Kentucky, to the new 6tate. As early as 1819 some of these people, were finding their new homes on West River. They were Quakers from Tennessee. In the south the white people held the black race as slaves, bought and sold them as personal property. The Quakers felt this was not right, so they crossed the Ohio river to Indiana, a free state. While they were making their new homes in the woods they went as far as Economy to attend church at least once a week, In the year 1827 these early settlers concluded to build a church near their homes. It was about fifty feet west from where the present church building now stands. A log cabin . was built for church purposes. A few of the men that were instrumental in forming this local meeting were Henry Thornburgh that owned Frank Waltz's farm, Seth Mills that lived on the Lumpkin farm, William Mendenhall lived where Thomas P. Hadley now lives, Henry Williams owned the place where Wallace Cheesman now lives. These people all lived west of the boundary line and got their deeds from the government in the 1822 by paying the price of a dollar and twenty-five cents an acre. As the years passed by new comers arrived and the log church All Used Seals ITow did the old Babylonians sign their names? In those days they had no paper but used soft clay tablets upon which a writer scratched what he had to write. This was put out in the sun and soon became so hard that it could be carried to the person for whom it was intended. Many of these tablets have been found in the old ruins. Instead of signing his name, a person had his seal. He presses this into the Boft clay to sign a letter. . Some boys and girls did not remember how good their parents were until they were dead. Then it's too late to show your respect. 6, Because he takes you in with an open countenance. 6. The great bear. (Grate bare.) 7. Because it makes needles neediest. 8. A looking glass. Now for the new list; 1. Why is a game of cards like a timber yard? 2. What is the difference between forms and ceremonies? 3. Why must chimney-sweeping be a very agreeable business? 4. Why was Lord Nelson like a coward? 5. In what color should a secret hfi kfnt? 6. Perfect with a head, perfect without a head; perfect with a tail, perfect without a tail, perfect with either, neither or both? 7. Why is the Hebrew persuasion the best of all persuasions? 8. How can you make a tall man short? 9. What is the difference between reckless speculation and a slice of bacon? 10. Why Is a joke less durable than a church bell? DID YOU KNOW THIS? Freudenburg! My, what a very strange name,, and yet it was once the name of a street in Richmond. Old South Sixth street from South E street south, years ago was called Frcundenburg. It means happy street. Many Germans lived there.

was enlarged by a more roomy frame building. It was made to suit the Friends ways in holding meeting. At that time the women sat on one side and the men on the other. A partition was made by raising sliding shutters and separate from view the men in one end of the building and the women in the other. The religious society of Friends ever held to the equality of sex in religious services. They are now encouraged to become ministers and elders in the church as well as men. So in early times this partition in their meeting houses were convenient for both sex to hold their business meeting separate. Before there were any public schools in Dalton township the membership of this local meeting on West River built a log school house, near the church property for. the benefit of their children. Some of the early teachers were Alford Underhill, Rebecca Ellis, Emily Ellis and others. Some of the families that sent their children to this school were Lewis Thornburg who t hen owned Albert Chamness farm, Isaac Macy, John Macy's father, Henry Thornburgh, Jr. who lived where Carl Cheesman now lives, James Lumpkin and others. The present or third building for church purposes wa,s built about 1878. The membership had increased.

house. Mahlon Dennis, William Modlin who lived on Alex Abbott's farm, Nathan Dennis, son of Prof. David Dennis of Earlham College and their families regularly attended this meeting. Karly Friends believed in promptness and great regularity in the hour f worship. On the first day of the week at eleven o'clock they would assemble themselves together without any previous announcement. Sometimes this hour of worship would be in silence. Sometimes a minister from some other meeting or neighborhood would attend. They called them traveling ministers. Miles Mendenhall," Rebecca Talbcrt, Absolem Dennis, Mahlon Dennis, Osborn Dennis were ministers that lived near West River church and preached to the people that attended this church, twenty, thirty and forty years ago. The reason why I think this chureh should be marked with a marker is because it was the first Friends Church established in Dalton township. It has been a great benefit to the people.
