Dear Indiana Folks: Did you know about the great, beautiful pictures of history that are being lived at Indianapolis this week? They are called the Indiana Pageant, but Just the same they are real living moving pictures, showing all the exciting things that have happened in our state in these hundred years since we were admitted to the Union. Have you ever learned very much about our own Indiana history? If you have, you'll be mighty proud of your home state. That is the great worth of pageants, because they make you understand the old thrilling scenes just as they happened, and you don't have to learn dry facts out of books you see them. And then the nice paTt of that is that things never are dry when you actually look at them in real life. Of course you can't go over to Indianapolis to see that State Pageant, but folks, you know we are going to have one right here in KDaSttnond along with our centennial celebration. It's just one hundred years ago that our Wayne county was founded, as well as our state, and some mighty interesting things happened then. So if you really want to. enjoy that gjmt time that is coming, you better find out what it, all is about, and read up on our Indiana Heroes.

Something To Write About
STARR SCHOOL
Miss Bertha's afternoon class had a birthday party on "a little boy named Ceorge Caldwell. They had a fine time. The large room of Starr school has been divided into two rooms, Miss Hill having the east half and Miss Newman the west half. Miss Marchant traded rooms with Miss Newman so as to be close to the office. Starr School Reporter.
GOT HIS ANSWER A small boy had a bad cold and snuffed very badly, to the great annoyance of the other passengers in the car in which he was riding. Finally one of the suffering men turned on the offending youngster and said, "Have you a handkerchief?" "Yes, sir," said the boy, "but mother never lets me lend it to strangers." HELEN REIFE, Starr School FOUTS IS PRESS AGENT The press agent for Starr School this week was Paul Fouts.
Dear Aunt Molly: Would you
rather we would write things ourselves, or can we put in stories and things we read in school? D. K. We want you to write yourself. This is a little newspaper for new things. What would be the use of reprinting stories you already have? Ed. Dear Editor: Jpq all the children all over the world have to go to school? E. R. No indeed. In many countries it Is a great privilege to go to school, and only a few can afford it. Ed. Aunt Molly, Dear Miss Editer: Say, do you realy get the strate of this here war in Ureope? Jimmie O. Dear Jimmy: I don't believe anyone fully -understands what the different great battles really mean now, but as time goes on you gradually can see them in their true importance that is, some people can. Honestly though, Jimmy, I don't know much about it. Ed.
Dear Junior Editor: Where do all the bugs and worms and flies
go in winter. Do they go down south like the birds? C. M. S.
As a rule insects do not - travel great distances. During the winter
some go into a resting state wrapping themselves up in a cacoon,
some bury themselves in the
ground or under the bark of a
tree, and some just die. Ed. Editor Junior Palladium: Will
you please tell me something about
Navarre? Edith S.
My Dear Edith Navarre was once a great kingdom, but now is
a province of Spain. The northern
part Is very mountainous and has great forests, but the lowlands are very fertile. The country is often
spoken of in books. Ed.
MARTHA'S ENEMY Little Martha had been given some bread and milk for her breakfast. She sat down on the stone step. She was just thinking how awful it was to have bread and milk every morning, when a big dog walked around the corner. Her mother heard her say, "Go away, naughty doggy, you tant have my milk." The dog did not seem to understand for he just sat
looking at her. The dog's name was Jack. He would not have hurt Martha for anything. He just wanted her to give him some milk. After that Martha did not think her milk was not good, but was thankful to have any at all. ALICE K. LEMON, Starr School.

In The Old Well
Who is it down there in the dark? What is the goat doing? Do you suppose someone is in the water and can't get out, or do you think that some foxy animal may be hiding to catch the goat? Perhaps the well has not been used for a long time and there is no water in it. Write a little story about this picture, and tell just who you think is below. (Copyright by George Matthew Adams)
BERNARD ACTS AS PONY Warner Hunt tells of the experience he had when he owned a great St. Bernard dog, which wa3 so large that they could hitch him up to a wagon and drive him all along the street. But one day they were out riding and the dog upset the cart and dragged poor Warner through two mud puddles.
Bible Class Fun
At the Boys' Annual Bible Class Banquet more than two hundred boys were present. As soon as the boys got into the banquet hall, the fruit salad and rolls disappeared, and so did everything else except the peppered potatoes and salted water which the boys fixed for eachother. When the ice cream came in the ladies were worried because they were running short. (Afterwards they found out that some of the boys put their plates in their laps.) Mr. McCowan then gave a fine speech. Then the memberships were giv,en out. More have been given out this year than any other. After that came the diplomas. There were about 110 of them. Richmond is among the first ten Y. M. C. A.'s in. North America. The boys had to have a perfect grade to get a membership. ROBERT BRAMKAMP

and paste each figure "back to back," so that you will have three "foun
tains' made, with one which stands alone and faces in three directions, Copyright by George Matthew Adams
Tells About City
Chicago is one of the largest cities in the west. It is on lake Michigan. It has many beautiful parks. One of the most beautiful parks is Lincoln park. It is on the lake front. You can take a big boat to Chicago from Lincoln park. There are many kinds of animals in Lincoln park, and there are many beautiful flowers, also many interesting statues. Perhaps the huge statue of Lincoln attracts the most attention because every one knows and loves Lincoln. Ferris park is another beautiful park, where the world's fair was held. It was named Ferris because of the large Ferris wheel operated within its bounds. There are many things to be spoken of in Chicago besides the parks. It is interesting to visit the different parts which in some places seem just like visiting different countries. MARY DEAN, age 8, Baxter School.
He Fixed Things
Once upon a time a family by
the name of Scarborough lived in
the house that stood at the corner
of a certain street. They were tor
mented by people asking if other
people lived there. The small son was angry. One day he came in and said, "I've fixed things now." His mother asked what he had done and he replied, "I've put up a sign 'Nobody lives here but us'." LOUIS JELLY, 7th grade St. Andrew's School.
