WHY THEY WANT YOUR SUPPORT

Joseph Swearinger The Junior Government is a thing that every boy in Richmond should be interested in. It not only gives training for the boys that are employed as mayor, councllmen, clerk, and the other officers, but it gives all the boys in Richmond a practical idea of the Senior Government. Now, as one of the many boys who are running for mayor, I would like to have the hearty cooperation of every boy in Richmond. I will do every thing in my power to help the Junior Municipality. Roland Hockett I would like to have the votes of the boys of Richmond, and especially of Garfield, for mayor. I know many boys in Baxter, Joseph Moore, and several other schools, and I will remember them when I am mayor, if I am elected. William W. Zimmerman As I have been nominated for Mayor of Boytown by the chotee of Warner school, I wish to state in the Junior Palladium that: If I am elected. I will serve to the interest of the boys. I will act when I think it is the best for all. And if elected, I wont go out of office with the boys saying that the mayor was punk, but will try to go out of office having the boys think of me as if I had done something to the interest of them. If elected, I will serve faithfully. Vote for me. Paul Benham I think there should be cleaner alleys, better streets and better lawns. Every boy should try to make Richmond a better city and help to get more animals for Glen Miller park. M. W. Walls If I am elected mayor, I'll enforce the laws that Boy Town have adopted. I would 'see that the health officer would keep the town cleaner and healthy. I would work for larger play grounds and keep them cleaner physically and morally. I would work for Better Richmond and Bigger Richmond will care for its self. William Romey I think the object of Boy Town Is to teach the boys how a city's government is conducted and how its officers are elected, and what their duties are. When our fathers make laws now they are not always enforced. My impression of this Boy Town movement is to teach the boys to enforce the laws that they make, when they grow older, better than the men do now. I am a candidate for council from Vaile school. Robert Rethmeyer I stand for Richmond being made a cleaner and better city. I wish that the children would keep their school play grounds as clean as possible. I also wish that the Main street bridge would be fixed so that bicycles can pass over it. Lewis Davis I am in favor of the dump being changed into a city park. I would stand for clean streets and alleys. I would stand for gopd play grounds. I would stand to be a good councilman. J. J. Bailey If I am elected councilman, I will try to get the girls of Richmond as well as the boys to vote. I want to get enough votes to be elected. Don't you think I would be a good councilman? I would try to get a park near our school. , It would keep the children from the streets. I would try to enforce the law of keeping the streets clean. I would

try to have Warner the best school

in town. I want to be elected Warner School John Rizio If I am made councilman of the Boys' City I intend to do the very best work I can and I consider it my duty to see that every law is obeyed and I expect to punish any boy who disobeys. I expect to stand for what is right I hope the boys will stand by me and not forget to vote for me. Nov. 7, 1916. Everett Weaver If I am elected I will try to make our city clean and try to have every boy help. Boys to keep our play grounds clean and to keep our lawns in good shape. I would like to have every boy of Warner school help to do this to keep off of other people's lawns, to help others to keep their lawns clean. I want to have as many votes as I can. James Stevenson James Stevenson is the only member of Joseph Moore school as a candidate for councilman. That school is especially interested in the election and their representative stands for the best policies of the school and also of the Eighth District. Altie Clingenpiel I would like for every boy of Boy City to remember November 7, 1916 to vote for me. If I. am elected I will do what I think a councilman should do. I think every boy will do just what he should do and any boy that disobeys the laws of Boy City should be punished, don't you? Remember Tuesday. VAILE BOYS PLAY ANCIENT BATTLE Tuesday afternoon after the girls ' had gone to cooking class the teach-' er took us to Reeveston. There we had a fine time. We played soldier. One side was American and the other was German. After a while we decided to be Gauls and Romans, for that is what we are having in history now. I was on theGaul's side. It came out just right for the Gauls were beaten. Just as the Romans were closing in on our camp, we heard the aeroplane and we all rushed out and looked for It. They started to attack us, but we told them that we were looking for the aeroplane. After we had seen It we went back and hid again. We found several natural trenches and got In them. We had no spears, only a few small branches, for our preparation was so hurried we didn't have time to get good ones. After a while we heard them coming. We prepared to meet them, and waited. Presently they came upon us and slaughtered us terribly. We rallied for a moment but they were too strong for us, so we broke up and went home. Even it we did get beaten, the Romans got their chare in burs. JEAN GRIFFIS I was one of the Romans, a captain of a legion. The leader of the Romans was H. E., who was Julius Caesar, while H. K. was Vercingitorex. The Gauls had white flowers in their hats. When we heard the aeroplane, we all became Mends while looking at the machine. WILLIAM ROMEY Vaile School William's Fall Once upon a time a little boy named William asked his mother if he could take a ride on his billygoat and his mother said no. He took a ride anyway. He got about half up the hill and fell off and hurt himself very badly. His mother was looking for him every place. She finally saw him at the bottom of the hill crying. She car ried him home and put him to bed ANNABELLE CAIN

FOR CITY CLERK

Elmer Beschcr I would like to have the support of the boys for city clerk. Herbert Hiatt I think that the boys of Boy City ought to try to make Richmond a better city and to have cleaner picture shows. The boys ought to try to make up a fund for more animals in Glen Miller park and more play ground things for the schools. I think they ought to make the streets in Richmond better. I think that Richmond ought to have more parks. Harry Wiggins Boys, I am running for clerk. And I hope you will do all you can to help me get elected. If I get elected I will try to keep the girls under sixteen off of the streets after 9 o'clock and to keep the girls of the same age away from the dances. It should be explained to parents and if it then continues the girls should be placed under arrest Boys, it is up to you to elect me. Your Teeth Essential To Your Good Health Your teeth are very essential to good health and should be taken care of from childhood. They should be washed after every meal and especially after supper, as you should never go to bed with unclean teetn. You should never drink or eat anything hot after something cold as It is liable to crack the enamev on the teeth and cause decay. The teeth should never be picked with anything hard as it also cracks the enamel, but with wooden tooth picks or quills. And you should not bite anything hard as it also breaks the enamel. You shoruld visit the dentist every six months and have your teeth carefully examined. A great deal of sickness is caused from bad teeth. When teeth go to decay they get filled with food which soon decays and it is taken into the stomach. Tooth ache is also caused from decay. The root? become inflamed and causes a very unpleasant ache which hurts more than it hurts to have them filled. JAMES STEVENSON 5 B grade, Joseph Moore School ST. ANDREW'S NEWS Lawrence Juerling, a tenth grade student, is recovering from an attack of pneumonia. The health record of the school shows that there has been only one death among the pupils since occupying our new school four years ago. Additional playground devices have been placed in both yards, and we now boast of an up-to-date and complete outfit. HILDEGARDE M. BUSSEN, St. Andrew's School IN THE WAR The battle of Verdun is raging. The Germans are pounding away; The French in their trenches are fighting, And holding th' t bay. Not far away stands 'miser. His dignity surely runs low. He thinks of the time when his soldiers Fought with a spear and a bow. My friends, do you remember That on a sunny day The great Napoleon's army Was surely 6wept away. But now you must remember The French are doing the best While the British are still in their trenches Enjoying a little rest The Germans are filling the field with their dead. The French are losing theirs, too, But Spain is remaining neutral And so is the Red, White and Blue. CLARENCE CHASE, age 12 Cambridge City, lad.

Candidates Advance Claims for Support off Youthful Voters

Election day! Every boy will cast his first vote next Tuesday, November 7, and every new officer elected will have his first experience in political life, then. The interest and competition is growing greater and greater, and the election on Tuesday will really prove a true sample of city elections in the senior world. Of course the most important city official to be elected is the mayor. Seven boys have been nominated by their friends, and six out of the seven are making the race. Joseph Swearinger of high school, and William Zimmerman of Garfield are perhaps the best known, since they have been members of several schools and proved themselves leaders where ever they were. From the time William Zimmerman was in kindergarten in Finley school, he has been prominent in giving away candy at Christmas time, treating his friends to picture shows, ice cream and other things, and when his name was proposed at, Warner school by the boys, he was at once unanimously elected as their nominee. When Miss Thompson announced his nomination to William, he was completely surprised but at once said, "Well, if the boys want me, I guess I better try to get elected." And so he is making the race. All the boys deserve great credit for the honorable things they stand for, and the earnest way In which they take up their responsibilities. Their written statements follow: The complete list of nominees are: ' - For Mayor Joseph Swearinger, high school: Mahlon Walls, Finley school; William Zimmerman, Garfield; Paul Benham, Whitewater; Roland Hockett, Garfield; Kenneth Fuller, Sevastapol. For Clerk Harry WigglnB, Warner; Herbert Hiatt, Whitewater; Louis Weidner, high school; Wil ALLEN WITHDRAWS Owing to other duties which occupy my time, I am compelled to withdraw my nomination for mayor of Boy Town. I wish to thank those who nominated me. PAUL ALLEN, High School. How They Cook Meals Way Down in Carolina Well I suppose you would like to know how they cook down in Carolina. There are some of the older families there who cook just as they used to one hundred years ago. One family of old people we visited cooked a real good dinner mostly by open fireplace, with three large pots hung over the fire. They had a cook stove out in the middle of a very large kitchen, but the aunty thought the best cooking was done by the fire. It was a real good dinner, but the aunty's face and her colored cook's face were real red from working before the open firej so raucn. And such a clean house as that was. The floors were scrubbed clean and then white sand sprinkled over them, and long porches almost all around the house were treated the same. This one house I speak of had a beautiful yard full of flowers. Roses bloom there almost all winter. That yard had fifty-four kinds of flowers in it. But they haven't many yards there of grassy lawns; it is white sand, and in the moon light It looks like snow. There are so many magnolia, and umbrella and other ornamental trees in the yards that stay green all the year round. Well I am getting my note too long. Goodbye. DOROTHY MILLER

KRUEGER TO BACK HIS FRIEND, WEIDNER Owing to the age of George K'rueger, who, is barely old enough to be included In the list of boy town nominees, he wishes to withdraw his name in favor of th election of his older friend Rudolph Weidner, thanking the members of Hibberd School for the honor of choosing him. FIENNING ANNOUNCES POLITICAL PLATFORM To the Boys of Boy City:,. ' I solicit your patronage. I wish to receive the votes of the Richmond boys whether you know m or not I am not in favor of woman suffrage and I will heartily fight it. I believe that a boy who works should get what comes to him. I work for my father about four hours per day outside my school work. I wish to tell you boys that I do not play ball or basket ball, but I think I can play my part as councilman at large, just the same. I hope to receive the votes of every boy of Richmond but especially of the boys in Hibberd and Garfield schools. s ; RICHARD FIENNING Garfield School. MARY SPRONG TELLS OF CENTENNIAL TRIP On the evening of October 17, father and I went to see the Centennial. We went In at Seventh street. The first thing we saw was the merry-go-round. While we were standing there one of the horses had an accident. Its leg broke off. In the next square the booths commenced. The Water Works company had such a nice one. It was a fountain with red and green lights around the edge. One of the clothing stores exhibited wool all the way from the live sheep to the finished garment. The midgets were very interest; ing. The woman was forty years old and twenty-one inches high. The man was thirty-six years old and twenty-four inches tall. They were brother and sister. They" could answer several questions. The man said he would like to get married, and didn't care whether she was a big wife or a little wife. The circus acts were very good. There were four groups, first two men and a woman on bicycles, then a group of four women dressed in black, then there were three men and a girl dressed in yellow, and a clown. His name was Strickn. Six men and one boy formed the last group. MARY A. SPRONG Vaile School
