Hello Uttle Voters: Did you see Hughes when he was here? Were you in that crowd that Jammed around the Coliseum, and did you cheer and shout for thi3 man who was great enough to be nominated for President? You should, for he is one of our national heroes now, along with Woodrow Wilson and a few other, and we are proud of all of them! " Are you a Democrat ; or a Republican? Or a Socialist or Prohibitionist of what? I'll tell you what I am. I'm a whole American! You see, America is made up of all the different parties, so being a Whole-American, I just take the

UERY CORNER

Doys and girls often aslc their parents questions about: things which they do not understand, Sometimes it is about a strange strrd, 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: ;.

nut Molly, Dear Editor: Why Is It that washing in cold water these days makes you feel hot, when if you use nice hot water, you feel cold afterwards? H. H. It is because cold, water is a shock to .your skin, and makes the rich warm blood surge all over yJ, while hot water, makes your skin soft and tender. Ed. Mr. Editor : Wot makes people keep talkin about swimen pools this kind of weather? Jimmie G. Dear Jimmie, "In time of war prepare for peace.' ; They're just getting ready for next summer, because if they waited until next spring to start it j they wouldn't get any pool until fall. Ed. Query Editor: Is celluloid a metal, and do- they mine it? -Or if people can make it, how do they? I have often wondered about it. M. G. - ri ---- - Celluloid is an artificial substance and was invented in 1870 by J... W... and. Isaac. Hyatt ... Itis made out of woody-fibre (cellulose) worked on by acids until it is guncotton, and then camphor is added. Then this compound is moulded by heat ...and pressure into its final shape. ,. Ed. . , Miss Junior Editor: : What does It mean to "dun" people? R. M. - "Dun" comes' from the famous English bailiff. John Dun, who was such a great collector that even yet people talk about being "dunned" for money. Ed. Dear Aunt Moliy Why is it cold In January, and why is it hot in June? John Rlzio. :. ,i: My dear John, It is hot in January and , cold in June down in South America, and up at the sun it is boiling hot all the year round. So you see, it Js the way our half of the earth is turned In reference to the sun, that makes January told and June hot. - Aunt M. What makes a Ford run? John Barker. ' ' - ' " V ' Why, John, usually a mixture of common sense, nerve and gasolene will get results, but I once knew one Ford that you had to use dynamite on. Ed.' Where do we get apples? John Barker. . ..... Indiana usually . raises about enough apples to supply all her needs with, out sending away; so that the groceries - have little trouble to get them for us. But some small boys get their apples by crawling through a fence when no dog is around. . Ed.

best of each one, mix up a pure United States creed, and call that mine. It doesn't matter what party a man Is a follower of, he's an American just the same. His flag is our flag, his native land is our land, and the brave old American patriots thrill him just as they do us. Only the little things make up, party politics nowadays maybe a question of the whole United States passing the Woman Suffrage law, or the separate states one at a time; or perhaps the subject of an- S-hour law. Cut in the great questions, and in the great American spirit of Patriotism, every man who is great enough even to be nominated for president, must hold the same fundamental ideals. For this is a united country, and we are united people, and any man who is truly worthy to be the leader of one group of Americans is worthy of respect from all. Now Woodrow Wilson is our president, and you and I, and Charles Hughes and all Republicans and all Socialists and everybody who calls himself an American owes him their best loyalty as long as he is president. For he is leading our government in the ways he believes best for our good, and our President always has been, and always should be, our great national hero. So Junior Folks, be Americans first, and never forget that you owe your best patriotism to your country and the men who are leading the affairs of state for you. AUNT MOLLY.

Girl Loves

Dog

About two weeks ago the dog next door had puppies. She had them under the back porch. I was the first one to know it.

The first two or three times that!

she came out she would not look at me. One day she came over to our back door and just cried and cried until I let her In. And ever since that she comes to meet me when I go over to the neighbors and go in the house with me. And every morning she comes over to see me, and when ever

she hears me over home she will always come over to our house. Does any one want one of her pups:

when they are weaned. Call 1122 North I street. MARION THOMPSON

I am a little boy five years old. I live at Huntington, Ind. I camo from Fort Wayne by myself. When I got on the train and went a littlo ways I got lonesome. I began to cry. A woman came and sat by me, then I was quiet. The conductor said when I went on a trip again, I ought to take a good looking woman with me. My aunt met me at the station.

Three Kittens

. CHANGE IN DATES Do you write the date 9th month, 30th day, 1916, today? Well, some people are writing it 1st. month, 4th day, 5677.. The Jewish people use a different calendar from our Christian one, and their new year began last Wednesday at sunset. They, celebrate their new year with a festival called Rosh-ha Shonah.

Once there were throe kittens. These little kittens lived all alone in a barn. Every day when the sun was shining brightiy the little kittens came out to play. They climbed up the trees, ran behind the boxes and had a merry time. Up the hill there lived an eagle in a

large cave. Every time he saw! the kittens he would fly over and; around the barn. So one day he caught two of the kittens. And the j other one still lives with the big'

Describes Dream

I dreamt one night that I was a daisy growing in a field all by my

self. There was a good Fairy that' lived iu a cave near by. One day; the storm clouds threatened to have , war on the fairy and me. The fairy j could change herself in anything, but I couldn't. So she took pity on ' me and changed me into a water lily. After the storm a little girl

was wading in the water and she spied me and picked me before the fairy had a chance to come and change me again. She forgot to put me in water then I died and woke

up.

GRACE SIMCOE . Finley School. THIS DOG CAN TALK

Rex is a big strong bull-dog who lives over In Centerville, and he can do something that no other dog we ever knew of could do. Because when you a6k him if he wants a cookie, he can say "um-hub." as plainly as you can yourself.

Something To Color

Baxter School

Baxter school had a little goodbye party last Monday, when Alberta Martinez called eight or ten members of his class to stay a minute after school so that they could exchange addresses and say goodbye. For Alberta was going to move to New York City to live, and everyone at Baxter was sorry to see him go. He has been half around the world, for he was born in Porto Rico, and has lived iu Europe, South American and the LTnited States. In the Geography class he was the center of attraction, of course, and last week when they were studying about Washington, he told about going to the different buildings, and seeing the White House. But Alberta says he thinks Paris is the most beautiful and interesting city in the world. He told about Napoleon's tomb having such a wonderful dome, and how the people had to go up on a balcony to look down on the coffin, aud he said they had soldiers everywhere instead of policemen. Alberta has promised 1o write letters for the Junior telling all about New York, so all his friends can read about the things he is seeing and doing in his new home.

Find Lost Boy

Wednesday we went for a walk with Aunt Molly. We went to Morton park. In the park we got some flowers, and went to the New Paris pike. On the New Paris pike we stopped and rested. We saw a dead squirrel, and Aunt Molly told us a story of Meddlesome Mable. Down the road a little farther we got some sugar corn. On the Twelfth street bridge we found a little boy that had run away. Dolorus Kartwright took him home. MABLE VEREGGE Whitewater School.
