The Junior Palladium is a section ot The Palladium issued every Saturday for boys and girls ot Richmond and vicinity. All boys and girls are Invited to contribute. Stories, sketches, personal incidents, happenings in the school room are acceptable and will be printed. Write on one side of the paper, and give name, age and address. Send all mail to The Junior Palladium. No manuscripts that are not printed will be returned. The Junior Palladium is the first newspaper for children printed in Richmond. It will be devoted entirely to their interests. For this reason, it will be glad to have you write, or If you are too young to write, let your parents write the letter for you.

My dear Juniors: Don't you like to" get letters that are just full of news, real live newB with plenty of funny happenings In It? Of course you do, but how many of you can write such a letter? You know, there are some people who can always tell the most interesting little things, and after they have told It , you think, "Why I knew that, too." ' Just the other day we were talking to a little girl and asked her what Bhe had been' doing lately. "Oh, nothing," she said. Then later on she happened to mention that she had been to a party that very afternoon, and they had played that funny donkey game, and she had pinned the donkey's tail right on the poor fellow's nose. And yet she couldn't think of anything to talk about, at all. Lots of children keep asking us " what we would like to have you write about in the Junior. And the first thing you think about is td write a story, or copy a lovely litfift verse out of your favorite books, isn't it. Well of course, children, we do want stories, and once in a while good verses appropriate to Q UERY CORNER The editor will try to answer questions readers of the Junior submit to her. She will not promise to" answer all of thpm J The questions will be answered in rotation, so do not expect the answer to be printed in the same week in which you send it in. Dear Junior Editor, will you please tell me what kind of bugs those fuzzy white things are. that come flying around real slow, and dont seem; to have any head? Helen R. My dear Helen, I'm afraid your "bug is only milkweed down which at first Is attached to a seed to carrv it away from the old slant, but after the seed drops, this beautiful white ruzz floats on and on. even Into the city, to make people, think it is a live insect Ed. , . Why does fire make smoke? Gulseppe Sonini. Smoke is the part of the material which Is not entirely burned uo, When a fire is hot enough there is no smoke. Ed. Why do dogs bite? Guiseppe sonini. - My dear Guiseppe: That is the only way they have to protect them selves because they can't talk and reason with others as you can Aren't you glad you're a boy and can tell people what you think of them. Instead of biting like dogs every tune you have a little fuss? Why is a Rabbit's tail short? Benjamin Bodiker. ' Because it isn't used enough to make It gro long. Ed. Dear Aunt Molly, Who was the first governor of Indiana? Martha M. . -: ' Dear Martha, Our- first governor was Johnathan Jennings. Ed. Why do leaves fall off in autumn and why do they grow on again In spring? Guiseppe Sonsinl. ' Only half the trees do shed their leaves in winter, pines and evergreens keep their leaves (needles) all year round. The reason other trees do is so that . they can rest iinpin? thp -winter: and nrntpet themselvesbetter against the cut nd snow. -For the weigm.

PALLADIUM

some special day or season, and jokes and riddles, too. But moBt of all we want news. It is hard to think about real news to send in now, because you never have had a newspaper and you aren't used to recognizing news when you have it In one of the schools a girl was running up and down a teeter board and she fell off and broke a bone in her arm. The value of telling news like that is to warn the rest of you not to make that mistake too. In another school they have had a literary club for sixteen years and have real lecturers to come and talk to them every once in a while, and yet they haven't told about it so that the rest of us can copy them, for fear we would think they were boasting. Then there are letters you get from friends in other cities, telling of unusual parties, or pageants or plays they have given, and you never think to send them in to us. We want to make the Junior really good, to .have an ideal little paperfor you to read every week, and crammed full of the articles you yourselves have written. You have pent In so many things even now, and many of them are first class. But we have so many that now we have to select from the mass, the few things which can go in. So children, we have decided to use news first, original stories and jokes next, and then if there is any room left, to fill up with copied verses and stories. Don't you think you will like the paper better that way? Keep your eyes open for the new things, and see what fun it is to be a real re porter for your little newspaper and its editor, AUNT MOLLY Loves Her Doll There was once a little girl who wanted a big doll and she wanted it for a Christmas present from Santa Claus. So when Christmas time came she got a very nice big doll, but she said it was not the right kind and threw it away. Be cause it was not the kind she wanted she became very angry. One day when her mother was away and she was Very lonesome, she was wandering out in the yard, she saw a doll which she thought was very pretty.. She picked it up and looked at it, and she saw that it was the same doll she had thrown away. ' . She was now very glad to have a doll with which to play. JOSEPHINE GWIN, grade 6, Economy, Indiana Girls Play Ball At Finley school, we girls have organized a baseball team. Which we play at recess and have a very nice time.

"AhJ' replied the other, " I was thinking about our being full, for however full we may be, we always come back empty." "Dear me, how strange to look at it in that way," said the other. "How glad I am to think that I am so useful, for however empty we come, we always go back full." MILDRED WARE, 5B Vaile School. Vaile School Friday afternoon, arter recess all the rooms except the kindergarten, went upstairs. The first and second rooms sat on the stair steps the rest of the rooms stood, upstairs. I will give our program: Helen Chamness spoke, "Knee Deep in June," she is In the 6A. The 4th and 5th sang songs. The Third room spoke, "Granny." Mrs. Fred Bartel sang, "Out to Old Aunt Mary's," The Raggedy Man" and "That Old Sweetheart of Mine." A little boy out of the Third room spoke, "I Won't Cry No More." A little boy out of the second room spoke something about when the tramp slept in our stable. Miss Moony's room spoke a very interesting piece. We had a very nice time. S Cyrena Margaret Huber, " : Vaile School Mary McKee and Roy Hawelotte also wrote a very good account of the afternoon. RILEY DAY , Indiana's loved poet's birthday was celebrated with songs and recitations. In Riley's "Knee Deep in June," you could Imagine that boy lying out there in tne orcnard, nia in the tall grass and. clover blossoms, with his hat pulled down over his face to keep the sun out, and watching out of a hole in the crown, the fleecy white clouds that are floating by. It almost made U3 wish for June vacation time when we could be knee deep in June. Then the little fellow that's all the time breaking a bone or skining his knee or having the sore throat, he was determined that he wasn't going to cry any more, and each time he said, "I just aint going to cry no more, no more." We saw Granny coming through the gate, and the whole bunch, of us ran to meet her. We just hugged and kissed her so much because we loved her. Some of us got on her lap and two of us rode on her foot, and some of us got on her rockers and you couldn't hardly see "Granny." I'll tell you why we were all around her. She was telling us stories of Cinderella and the Three Bears, and Red Riding Hood, and all those nice stories we children love to hear. We went "Out to Old Aunt Mary's" with Mrs. Bartel and heard her sing "The Raggedy Man" and "That Old Sweetheart of Mine." The children from the other rooms added to the good time we had. Mary A. Sprong, Vaile School

Fir Tree Becomes Christmas Tree BY GUISEPPE SON8INI Once upon a time on a hill there stood a little fir tree, he was very proud of his home. One day two birds came and built a nest. The fir tree was very glad that it had been chosen by the bird. The bird laid four eggs. Waiting for the eggs to hatch, the birds and the tree became friends. The birds said, "Some day you will be a Christmas Tree." The eggs hatched and they soon learned how to fly. The days grew colder and the birds went south. It was the day before Christmas. After a while a man and a lot of children came. "We want this one." they said, so the man chopped it and brought it home. They loaded it with toys. After supper the children took the toys and sung a song to the tree". This is the end of my storie.

Dog Loves Gats As Playmates I am a little girl ten years old. I read the Junior every . week and I think it is fine. They have been asking us to write stories for this paper at school, so I will write one. When I was at my grandmother's over at New Paris this summer a very funny thing happened. My grandmother has two cats and one dog. - The dog's name is Eliga and the cats names are Spottie and Brownie. Spottfe had some kittens and they died, and then Brownie had some kittens. Spottie wanted Brownie's kittens so she carried them away, and Brownie carried them back. And while one cat had one kitten carrying it around the other cat had the other kitten carrying it. - The dog watched the cats doing this and when the cats put the kittens down, he took them and carried them in the house upstairs, and put them in the closet. We thought they were dead until my uncle went up stairs and the dog ran ahead of him, barking at the closet door, and there were the kittens. This is a true story. OPAL PERION. Starr School. Looks For Flea Sunday school teacher "Now you see children, this is a picture of Lot fleeing out of prison." A little girl just out of the infant class raised her hand. "What do you want, Martha?" Martha said, "Please, where is the flea?" GRACE SIMCOE, Finley School. HOLD APPLE SHOWER Last week Miss Sanderson's room at Warner School had an apple shower. In the afternoon, when she asked the children to open their music books, they all stooped down and surprised her by rolling apples up towards her desk in the aisles, and she 'had so many that the top of her desk was almost covered.

Blesses the Kind It was cold and snowing one day. A poor woman was standing on a corner. She was afraid to venture across the street, it was so crowded She waited a long time and pretty soon a boy came along. He said: "Can I help you across the street?" She said, "I would be sure thank ful if you will." She rested her poor trembling hand on his shoulder, and he guided her across the street. He did not stop to be thanked. ' With a light and happy heart he hastened down the street. That night when the poor woman knelt down in her humble home, . the prayer she said was, "God be kind . to that poor noble boy and bless him In every time of need." JENNIE HIEGER Finley School
