Camp Fire Celebration at Centervillc Unique

Centerville, Ind., Sept. 18th, 1916. Dear Aunt Molly: Am mailing you and all the camps invitations for the Grand Council Fire. We want every Camp Fire Girl even if the camp isn't active or has no guardian at present. If you put this in the Junior say that every Camp Fire Girl is invited even if she received no personal invitation. Thanks for your help in the Junior; Am so glad that one camp is to give an Indian Dance. The National Board gave me only the names of the camps at Rich niond and one at Milton. That seems to be all in the County that are in good standing. But if they all come, it will be "some big bunch, Do you happen to know any In clean games? Hoping for fine weather and a big time, I am Your friend, BESSIE BUHL, Guardian of the Lakotas. Such is the enthusiastic letter from the Centerville hostess, and knowing how glad all the Camp Fire Girls in the whole county would be to read it, we have put it in even though it was not writ The Day Nursery Full of Interest to All Visitors How many of you children have been in the Day Nursery, even to see how things look? As you come up the steps, no matter when, you can hear the children laughing and romping around, and as you come to the door you can see all the little heads bobbing around as some are playing ball, others Tiding on the hobby horses, or building blocks. But if you go clear in you can see not only their playthings but also the little low tables where they have their lunches, and even the room full of little white beds for the tiny babies who are too small to play on the floor. Some thought that when school started there would not be so many in the nursery, but last Tuesday there were 18 and Wednesday 12. Those who are old enough to go to school do go through school hours, but come back to the nursery for lunch and after school, to stay until their mothers come after them at supper time. And to show how the children who go there are thriving, two babies who have been kept there for almost a year, have the highest scores in the Baby Contest. During August the Nursery kept 423 children, although of course many of the same children came back each day, while one week there were 111. So with all those youngsters to gether, of course they have many good times, and say lots of funny things. The other day when something was said about only babies being left now that school has begun, one little tot who rock ing as hard as she could on a hob by-horse, spoke up and said, "I'm not a baby. I'm a GIRL!" Remember the Day Nursery, and If your mother ever wants to go to a party or a club meeting or some thing when you would have to stay at home, ask her to take you up to the Nursery, for you can have lots of fun, .and it is meant for just that sort of a time. ELIZABETH LOVES HER DOLL Some little girls forget all about their dolls when school begins, but little Elizabeth Bogan isn't that kind. Even though kindergarten Is very new and interesting to her, she carefully Drought her little Indian doll with her and kept it in her lunch basket all morning so it wouldn't be lonesome while she was away from home.

ten specially for publication. This Council will be Sept. 30, as you know in Centerville, and the charming -little invitations tell in verse all the program for the day. In the afternoon from two until four will be a social in which all the Camps are to get acquainted with each other. At five o'clock will be jthe basket supper, and at seven-thirty the girls are all to gather at the town ball and have the real ceremony. At this the Centerville girls will present a 40-min-ute play, and all the other camps are to have some little stunt. In the evening the public will be admitted to the play and a small admission will be charged to them, but not to the visiting Camps. The following is the original invitation : "Hark, ch Sisters! Hear the Pine Tree Hear it whisper low a message Breathed to it by the Lakotas:" The Lakotas bid you welcome When the Hunting Moon is shining For the last time in this season Then will be Grand Council Meeting Then the fire be kindled brightly And the hearts of Camp Fire Sisters Sing together songs of peace. In the forest dark they'll meet you, Dance with you 'neath murmuring maples Race with you by rushing river And they'll share with you your bear meat Drink with you the sparkling water When the darkeT shadows gather Then the Wigwam will be open And the Council Fire be kindled Then each maiden in blanket

Will repeat the Camp Fire longing Singing songs of love and cheer Then the good Lakota maidens And the warriors bold and sturdy, Have a legend of queer nonsense They will give you, my dear kolahs. When the Hunting Moon is waning You'll return unto your tepee With a heart of love and blessing For your sisters the "Lakotas" Waon Welo, Guardian and the Lakotas. Copy Riley Poem Four of the girls put in the same verse, which is a favorite of every one; but Heolinda had written it the neatest. The other girls were Lois Farmer, Lena Giant and Georgia Thomas. THE FUNNIEST THING. (By James Whitcomb Riley) The funniest thing in the world, I know, Is watching the monkeys in the show! Jumping and running and racing 'round, Up at the top of the pole, then down! First they're here and then they're there. And just almost any and everywhere! Screeching and scratching wherever they go. They're the funniest thing in the world, I know. Hears NewStunt John Hauck, a little Kentucky boy visiting here for a few weeks, is very careful about saying his prayers every night, but he doesn't say Grace at the table. So this is the little story his mother told about him. One day the minister came there for dinner, and of course he returned thanks. John sat real still until it was all over, and then in his slow Southern way he drawled out, "Well, that's a new stunt on me, prayin at the table!" In mineral wealth, Mexico stands in the first rank among nations, since its riches are practically inexhaustible.

News Review Mrs. Anie Howe, a sister of President Wilson, died last Saturday. One of the most unusual strikes in history occurred September 16, when the errand boys of Philadelphia refused to work unless thev were granted one cent more on ea . package. A young nephew of the Kaiser, 23 years old, was killed in battle last week. The women of Australia have been granted the right to vote upon the war question, and by their vote sending or saving their hus bands and fathers from war. This is the first time in the history of the world that there has been such a proceeding. Twenty-two attacks have been reported in the New York car strike, and a general strike seems certain. The valuable museum of relics which Edman Worth of Springport had spent 70 years in collecting, starting when he was a barefoot boy ten years old, was completely destroyed by fire in one hour, last Wednesday morning. Beautiful Queen Marie of Roumanla is reported to be taking up Red Cross work while her country is in war. Swarms of Flies Worry Campers You have rear in the Bible about pests of flies, but if you ever happen to be up north at a certain time in the year, as one of the Rich mond girls was this summer, you would appreciate what it means. Dorothy says the pest only lasts about one hour, but at that time it is terrible. It seems that there is a Canadian sand fly which comes over to our American side and dies here. They come in monstrous swarms and cover everybody and every thing. And worst of all they don't move after they once settle on you, for they seem so exhausted they just die there. You can't sit down anywhere without mashing them, you can't step without crushing away their lives, for they are as thick as snow flakes in a blizzard. Perhaps an hour doesn't seem long for a nest to stay, but once having endured it, an hour seems ages. j

For Fun

THAT PfclKTlUG IT ALMOST Animals at Starr Starr School has been almost tike an animal tent lately. Last week Miss Cox's room was greatly excited by a screech owl which appeared in the air shaft and made so much noise that they had to ask the janitor to come and take it out. To do this he had to open the register and then throw a cloth over the owl's head so that it would not peck at him or try to fly away as he carried it out. And at the teachers' meeting Monday night a bat was discovered under Miss Peterson's chair. As the chair was moved the little animal dropped down on the floor and rolled itself all up in a ball, so that they simply swept it up onto a paper and put it out on the roof. Writes Letter Richmond ind a letter to mama and papa and this is from Myrtle Marie U. so good by papa and mama? My dear Myrtle: Was this your first letter? If it was, you try to write another and tell your papa and mamma what what you are doing at school, will you? We like to have real letters because so many fathers and mothers enjoy reading them, and so do all the aunts, or at least one. AUNT MOLLY. Warner to Elect Monday is the ereat election dv at Warner, for then they elect the representatives from each room to make up the Good Government League. Every room, except kindergarten, has its own election, nominating their members and voting by the mysterious secret ballot when the children can write, and by standing vote when they can't. The results of this ejection will be long remembered by the new councilors, for they will be entitled to wear the G. G. L. pin, which is a valuable silver emblem and cannot be bought, bribed or owned, but Is loaned to each member while they are representatives. Warner school has had this league for six or seven years, and often times the meetings grow most exciting.

Horse Has Fun At Fountain

On North Ninth street, there U a drinking fountain close to Main, which one horse was enjoying very much last Monday. After he had drunk as much as he wanted, ha began, to play in it since his master was away and he had to stand there. First he would put his nose way down in the trough,' and then jerk bis head up suddenly, splash ing the water half e cross the side walk, and dousing anyone who happened to be passing. Once he just soaked a boy who had his arms full of books, and thai little fellow was the maddest boy you ever saw Then when the horse was tired of this, he happened to notice the innocent little sanitary drinking faucet that was quietly bubbling away, so started to investigate it; but as he was sniffing all around it, he got the water up his nose, and the way he sputtered and sneesed around there, was the funniest ever. But the man came back Just then, bo the poor horse had to drive off still holding his bad opinion of drinking fountains. Joke Players Fool Visitor Once there were two sisters who lived alone out in the country. They were the kind who always looked for something funny. One day they were going to have company, a young man and woman. Both guests lived in different towns but were coming at the same time. The young lady had already arrived when they saw the young man coming down the road. One sister ran to meet him, and she told him that their friend was very deaf, so that he must talk lond to her. Meanwhile the other sister had told the girl that the young man was hard of hearing and that she mast talk loud and plainly to him. When the two sisters Introduced the young people, they talked loud, too, and after the two guests were left alone they carried on their conversation so loud that the sisters could hear all they were saying. Finally the lady noticed how loud he was talking to her, and she asked him why. He said he had been told that she was hard of bearing and when she told him the same thing, they went to the sisters and asked all about it. And after they found the joke that had been played on them, they both laughed and laughed. Of course, these two young peo-1 pie married and lived happily ever j after. MYRTLE G. Receive Articles The Junior Mail Box was very ; popular with the children at White- j water this week, for in less than two days they had it almost full. But since many of the articles were poems which had been copied from books which probably have a copyright on them, we didn't want to j publish them without knowing the ; author and publisher. So, children, , we are only safe in printing the ; stories and letters you make up j yourself. You II remember this, won't you? And please don't be j disappointed if you don't see your . selected story in the Junior, for ; now you understand how it is, 1 don't you? Those who sent in such j articles were Myrtle Irvin, Eliza- ; beth Shaffer, Guiseppe Sonsini, j Lois Farmer, Alva Garrett, May- ; ward Milton, Jessie Seweli and ' Victoria Castellucio.
