The members were Cynthia Melpolder, Madge Whltesell, Esther Jay, Fay Logue, Anna . May Horr, Elizabeth Grace, Neva - Showalter, Miriam Little and Catherine Bink197. '' " : "When we arrived at the place, the first thing we did was to get our coats off and begin to make our fire. After we got it started, our chaperone told us to spend twenty minutes any way we wanted to. We ran up and down hills and played by the creek, and then we heard the signal to come back to the camp fire. -Then we all sat around the fire and listened to one of the girls read Indian legends. When she was through - it was time to start supper. We toasted bacon,- scrambled eggs, toasted marshmallows, and also had sandwiches, apples and cakes. It soon began to get dark, so as soon as we were through eating we began right away to clear up things. We all got sticks and beat the fire out. Then we put on our things and started for home, and we all had a good time. , ANNA MAY HORR Helmets for aviators have been Invented with wireless receiving telephones built into the ear flaps.

Hallowe'en Social For Boys at "Y" Boyst Notice! There will be a halloween social at the Y. M. C. A. for all boy members of the Association under 16 years.

He will tell of bis experiences under the ground where he made the acquaintance of the Goblin man and other of the wierd inhabitants of the Ghost Kingdom.

Masks are not to be worn. The party will commence at 7:30 sharp. r

Dogwood Flower Patriotism rules this flower of the American Mountains. In spring the shrub Is aglow with bright red stems, which in early summer are surrounded by little white flowers in clusters. Finally autumn brings the fruit, clusters of dark blue berries, and there you have the national colors, red. white and blue. In the west, the Indians strip the Inner bark from the twigs and limbs ; of the shrub, dry it and smoke it, as a substitute for tobacco. They call It "Klnnikinic." - Next week, "The Magget." , BENJAMIN WILLIAM BURR, 6A grade, Starr School. t 1 The Silver Wand A continued story by a Starr school author. JULIA BURR Chapter 1 Little Mary was a very poor girl. Her mother and stepsister were very ugly. Mary was praised for he beauty and kind ways. She never was rude, unkind or selfish. Her mother and sister were jealous of her fo that reason. ;They were very cruel to her and made her unhappy. It was a cold morning and snow was on the ground. Mary's mother told her to go away in the woods and stay until she came after her. So Mary went. She hadn't any stockings on. Finally she arrived at an old barn. She ent in and lay down and went to sleep. - Now Mary's mother was rich but she pretended to be poor. When Mary had gone, the mother said, "Zelma, (For that was the other girl's name) put on your good clothes, for while Mary Is gone we will go to New York and live." So they went on the two o'clock train. Later Mary woke up and it was five after three. She got up and went out. A little ways from her she saw something shining in the grass. She picked it up and read these words: "You cannot return without this." After Mary had picked it up, she walked along. When she came near an open place where she saw a beautiful lady sitting on a stump crying. Mary went up to her and said. "Who are you, and what is the matter" The lady said. "I am the queen of the' fairies. I have lost my wand and cannot return home." Mary said. "Kind fairy, I have found yor wand." .and she gave It to her. . "Thank you," said the fairy. "I could not have gone back home without my wand, and that made me cry. My name is queen Isabella. What is yours?" "Mary," said the girl. "Come and I will take you to my home," said the Queen. So they went. To Be Continued OCTOBER'8 WEATHER Helen Hunt Jackson O sun and skies and clouds of June, And flowers of June together. You cannot rival for one hour, October's bright blue weather.

Jack was a large St Bernard dog who lived in Rheiras, France. His master was a small boy who liked Jack very much. They lived in a quaint old house across from the church. Francis (his master) liked to go to the church and look at the beautiful statues in it. Now France was at war and the beautiful . church was used for a hospital. Francis's father was now at the front fighting and Jack was now the guard for Francis and his mother. Jack lay on the doorstep sleeping. Suddenly the rumbling of cannons awakened him. He growled for he knew many men would be killed, perhaps Francis's father. He arose an dwalked out Into the street. Suddenly he saw a flash, and then came a deafening crash. The Germans were bombarding the town! Jack started to go to the cellar All Flowers Pretty little violets " Growing by the stream, Hidden under violet leaves When it's never seen. Oh! the pretty mytrle Blue as the sky, Everybody loves it Because it's very nigh. Oh! the spring beauty White as the snow; Everybody loves it t Because it's bound to grow. See the pretty lilac, Purple as can be. I always like to see it, Because it's very wee. By Eddison Ottenfeld Starr School, Something Unusual He hunted through the Library, He looked behind the door, He searched where baby keeps his toys. Upon the nursery floor; He asked the cook and Mary, He called Mamma to look, He even 6tarted sister up To leave her Christmas book. And then mamma came down the stairs, Looked through the closet door, And there it hung upon its peg Where it had hung before. , And Tommy's cheeks turned rosey red, Astonished was his face. He couldn't find his cap because 'Twas in its proper place! Emma E. Marean. AT 8TARR SCHOOL At Starr school the children march to music from the piano player, which is played by a different boy each week- Girls are not permitted to play because usually boys are stronger. This last week Hilton Lewis was musician. Edith Stevenson, who is In the first room at Starr school, came up to her teacher the other day and said, "I brought this apple to school for us to draw." Teacher "All right. Then after we draw it you can eat It." Edith "No, I don't want to eat it, it's sour. I'm going to give it to somebody." HIBBERD At Hibberd school the boys of the fifth' grade celebrated "Discovery Day" by giving a play entitled "Columbus" in which George Krueger took the part of Columbus. Dear Aunt Molly: I am going to tell you two Jokes which occurred in our school. The teacher In a geography lesson asked what was the surface of the New England States. A boy said on his paper, "It is mostly on the outside." In a spelling lesson we were having music words. Among them was A Tempo. The teacher asked what this meant, and the boy said to sing In a slow temperature. Yours sincerely, PAULINE MANAGAN, Hibberd School PRESS AGENTS The Junior Press Agents - this week are James Stevenson from Joseph Moore, Paul Fouts from Starr, Harry Eikenberry from Vaile, sad Ray Wilson from Whitewater.

where the rest of the family were. He heard screams. Then he remembered the wounded men in the church! . , With a spring he was off. At last he came to the door. He heard several more crashes. He bolted through the doorway. Smoke blinded him. The church was ou fire! Jack knew he must hurry. He found a man who was groaning. He grabbed the man's collar. Then he pulled him toward the door. As he came out he saw a crowd. They cheered. Men followed him with axes. After all the men were taken out. Jack went home. The next day the glad news came that the Germans were defeated and had to retreat. Francis's father came home happy and well, and the family ate together. Soon afterward Jack received the Legion of Honor which was tied to his collar. He is known all over Rheims and is happy and well because he did good to others.

HISTORY OF STATE REVIEWED BY GIRL1

This week Richmond was celebrating Indiana's hundredth birthday. La Salle, a Frenchman, and his companions were the first white people to see Indiana. After LaSalle came some French missionaries and traders came. The missionaries wished to teach the Catholic religion to the Indiana and the traders wanted to trade for furs. The French built three forts. They were at Ft. Wayne, Vincennes and Lafayette. The English and French both claimed the land around Indiana. So they had a war and England won and took Indiana. After the colonies in America won their independence from Great Britain and became, the United States, Indiana was made a territory of our country. Indiana became a state in 1816. When it became a state there was another star added to the American flag. The first capital was at Corydon, in southern Indiana. Then in 1825 they made Indianapolis the capltol because it was in the central part. Indiana has given many great authors to America, and it has sent many brave soldiers to fight far her country when it was in trouble. I was born in Indiana and I am very proud of my state.
