Dear Hoosiers: How do you like the Centennial by this time? Arent you glad those old ploiAer ancestors of ours started all they did, a hundred years ago? You ought to be. And all this week when you have been looking at exhibits, has it impressed you what wonderful changes have taken place in Wayne County since a century ago? Perhaps you havent realized it. Junior Folks, but now days we are living in a city and country that would be ideal to those people of 1816. As they toiled da7 after day. clearing the land, driving out the wild beasts, and enduring such hardships that only the strongest could survive, the vision of our Indiana as it is now, prosperous and peaceful, filled with comfortable homes, good farms and solid public bulldincs. would be a Land of Promise. But do you feel like an ideal child in a land of promise? If you do you're just a hundred years be hind the times. We were ideals to our poor ancestors, but we will be "Old-foggies" to the Hoosiers who celebrate the next Centennial. Thats the best part or ideals: as soon as you measure up to one, you UERY CORNER The editor, will try to answer questions readers of the Junior submit to her. She will not promise to answer all of them. 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 Aunt Molly: What makes engines run? MILDRED WIRTS. . Dear Mildred: By getting up tremendous steam pressure in the big boiler, and then opening a tiny valve into the piston rod leading to the wheels, the great force turns the wheels, and that makes the engine run. Ed. Dear Miss Editor: Did yon see Patsy's chicken? I looked in the bag two or three times, but I could not find it George G. Dear George. No, I couldn't find it either, even when it was chirping as loud as anything. Maybe the man had it in his pocket. Aunt M. Dear Aunt Molly: What makes candy sweet and pickles sour? M. W. The real thing that makes sugar candy taste sweet and vinegar pickles taste sour is the group of little nerve cells in your tongue which telegraph up to your brain. "This seems sweet;" or "this seems sour." If you didn't have those cells, sugar or vinegar or honey would tasts as ordinary and flat as dough and water. Ed. Dear Aunt Molly: What makes your muscles hard? Mildred W, Whitewater. My dear Mildred: Hard work and exercise might make your muscles hard, but nothing helps mine very much, not even trying to crank a balky Ford. Ed. Dear Junior Editor: How soon re we going to have another centennial? F. G. My dear Sir: I'm afraid the looneat we can have another centennial is when we will be a hunIred and some odd years old. Let's kave a Fall Festival in about two or three years from now Instead, will you? Aunt Molly.

Q

can see something so much better to work towards. Yet folks, have you realized that in 2016 other people will be hunt

ing up stories about you? Maybe then some little boy will triumphantly pull an old khaki suit out of a dusty trunk and wear it in a big parade, telling everybody that "My grandfather was one of the first Boy Scouts in Wayne County, and this is the very uniform he wore." Or perhaps as a great relic they will exhibit a worn, yellow Junior Palladium one hundred years old, and some little girl dressed in oldfashioned plaid gingham will stand by the exhibit saying: "My great grandmother used to write stories for this newspaper, and she wore this dress to school when she was a little girl." So you better do things you will be proud of, hadn't you? And as we celebrate this first hundred years, of Wayne County, let's plan to do such wonderful things that next time they can have a still greater history to live over. AUNX MOLLY. Gladys Simpson Describes' Cat 1 have a white cat. When he is hungry he sits up like a dog and mews. . The neighbors have a shepherd dog. Our cat goes over and plays with the dog for hours. They have great times. The shepherd dog has been taught to get the mail when the postman comes. When the paper boy comes at night, the dog will bring the paper into the house. When the dog's master tells him the mail goes next door, he will bring over to our house. When my mother is not in the kitchen the dog will lay the mail down and bark, but as soon as he barks he picks it up again. Mother takes the mail and says. "Wait a minute, Don." The dog will wait back on the porch and mother gives hi mcandy er sugar everytime he brings the mail. He does not believe in doing things for nothing. GLADYS SIMPSON, 6A, Baxter School. The Smart . Dog Once upon a time a man had a goat this goat was full of mischief. One day the man hung a new red flannel shirt on the clothesline. The goat thought this was pretty and swallowed it This made the man angry at the goat so he topk him down to the railroad station and tied him about four hundred feet from the station. It was not very long until the whistle blew. The goat thought his time had come. But alas! the goat coughed, and up came the red flannel shirt and flagged the train. PAUL CAMPBELL. IS IMPORTANT, NOW Monday afternoon at recess the teacher told all of the boys to stay in after the girls had gone, the fifth grade boys came in, too. Then the teacher read a letter that said that there was going to be a convention at the High school Auditorium and that five delegates were to be chosen frgm each school to represent It I was chosen first as delegate, then Everett Phillips and Howard Klute. I feel as if I were important now. Jean Graffis.

By DOROTHY MARTIN Once there were two boys that lived in Zanesvllle, Ohio. Their names were Ben and George. One day they decided they wanted some money, so they got some bottles and put coffee in them and, pretended it was silver polish. Ben was to be deaf, dumb and blind, and George was to sell this "polish" for thirty-five cents a bottle for the benefit of the deaf, dumb and blind boy. They started out one morning and had sold several bottles when they came to a nice looking house. They were sure they could sell a bottle there. When the lady came to the door George asked her if she would buy some silver polish. She said she would if she could find enough money. - When she returned she had only thirty cents. George wanted the other nickel. The lady said that she didn't have a cent more, but George thought she surely did because she was dressed so nice. They argued there for about three mimites and Ben began to

get impatient, for you know he could not see, hear or talk. Finally he forgot himself and said, "Well, let her have it for thirty cents and come on." That ended the selling of silver polish. For handsome is that handsome does. Goldsmith.

By CLAUDE G. MILLER '1 shall explain to you, since you have traced me down, why I have done this," the man began, "but first I need aid. Will you help me?" We helped the old man bandage his hand so as to Insure relief, then we sat down, and the old fellow began his story again. "My name is David Childsberry," he said; "I became deformed in my infancy, and I have been using my deformity as a key to all my delusions. I had been what you jnight call an amatuer magician, although I rarely gave public exhibits; I studied deeply into the art of magic and in time invented tricks ot my own. "After years of deep thought in this line, my mind peculiarly drifted toward religion, and it was here I saw a new way to worship, using magic.

"After a year of hard preaching of my new religion, I was driven from almost every town where I attempted to lecture. After a time my heart became embittered, I built this hovel to use my magic art as a means of highway robbery, and I have done it. Now that you boys have baffled me in trying to rob you, I will show you a mechanism I have just finished."

Click, the lights went out "And now wait," his voice died down as a passing wind. First there appeared a rib, then another, and another which seemed to come from nowhere, -till at last a full skeleton was formed. "Oh, it's all a fake!" Fat repeated to steady his nerves. But at that moment walls of flesh seemed to appear and fit them selves into their rightful places. They formed Into a man with the flesh rosy and life-like. He turned his head and it was David Childsberry. He spoke to us and turned on the lights. "That's enough for one day," said Fat, searching through his pockets. "Here's a fiver for you. You certainly are an artist in your line!" "We'll come again tomorrow," I said, giving him1 another bill as we were leaving. But we didn't go back to that shack the next day;

for that night about twelve o'clock we were awakened by a fiery blaze which lit up the whole sky, and the next day we found that old hovel burned to the ground. Two years after this we met Dayid Childsberry in New Jersey, ?rown wealthy over his Blight of Jiand performances. And if you ever come across Childsberry's Glreat Magic Shows, by all means see it.
