Harold K. Sinex. CITY GOVERNMENT . Each city needs different laws, his is because every city is interred in different things. For intance Richmond needs a new ridge. The people In Washington re not Interested in it, so we have j have our own laws. The way they go about it Is that very voter in the city votes for the ead one (which is the mayor), 'he city is divided up into wards, 'tech ward has a head man which ?3 called the councilman. Just the people in one ward vote for their "ouncilman. These men meet about nee every other week and make 'iws.for their city, The councilnan's duty Is to find out what the eople of his ward . want. Then hen they jmeet they discuss the latter and so make the laws of the ity. Vardine Russell, 4 A, Vaile. THANKSGIVING DAY It was Thanksgiving. Eva, Hazel nd Irene were coming home from he country.

Notes About "Y" The Bible classes at the Y. M. C. A. are going along with the same kind spirit as they have had in the past On Tuesday night the boys have a "get together" supper. All the boys are urged to come, at sixforty. At seven the classes are formed. On Thursday night four more classes meet at seven o'clock. On Saturday morning two classes meet at nine-thirty and at ten-forty-five two more classes meet. Boys who are not attending these classes are missing a great pport unity for learning, and good pleasure. So come out, boys, and join us in the study of the Bible. Hon. Ray Williams, Esq., and Hon. Happy Hunt, Jr., the billiard sharks of the Y. M. C. A. Boys' Department, have agreed to take on all comers in a three game series to be played when most convenient for the comers. Whoever desires to post their skill against these two sharks will address their named to Mr. Brammer, acting manager. Twenty-four boys were out for the Tuesday night Bible class supper. This Is an unusually large number, and forecasts a great interest in the Bible study classes this winter. Frank Crowe won the ping pong tournament Tuesday night. He now is a most lordly champion. V. D. Brammer. Thanksgiving at Grandma's Long ago on one Thanksgiving we went to grandmother's house to spend Thanksgiving. We did not have to go very far, because she lived right next door. For dinner we had turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberries, home-mado bread, gravy and pumpkin pie. All my aunts, uncles and cousins were there. We had a good time and after dinner we popped corn, played games and wero so full we could hardly walk. But had a good time. Audrey Roller, Starr school.

Richard Thornburg. THE FIRST THANKSGIVING The Pilgrims were so thankful that God had helped them through the winter and had given them food that they decided to have a day to thank God for His kindness. They invited the Indians and their neighbors to spend a day in feasting and thanking God for what he had done for them. The Pilgrim children and their mothers were very busy days before, preparing for the great feast. Sometimes the children would get Impatient waiting. , At last the great day was at hand. Such excitement there was in the homes of the Pilgrims. They didn't have food as we do now. The fathers had to hunt for wild animals for their food. One of their foods they thought so much of was the corn the Indians taught them to plant, which we call Indian corn. When the feasting was over the Indians and the white men played games, and closed the day with prayers. Doesn't It all seem strange compared with our present Thanksgiving? Alice Smith, Starr school. TOM AND THE TURKEY One day when Tom was walking in the barnyard a turkey came up to him and Baid, "Gobble, gobble, gobble," and started to walk away. Tom did not follow. The turkey came back and said, "Gobble, gobble, gobble." Tom decided to follow and the turkey led him far into the woods. When he got there what do you suppose they saw? Five little ones. The turkey was very proud of her little ones. Ethel Tillman, Starr school.

GOOD FRIENDS

The sun was setting In the west, It had been a lovely day, Witheverything looking its very best. And the birds singing their grandest lay. Out in the field was a little girl; And near her a weak, little lamb. The little girl's name was Murrell, The little lamb's was Fan. The little lamb did love its maid, The water it wanted was never delayed. Soon her head" upon her lap she pressed. As if she was hunting a place to rest. Murell stroked the little lamb's back, Thinking never anything had it lacked. Later, her father came to take her home, But she had to be coaxed with an ice cream cone. Economy, Ind. Original. PURITANS HAD FEAST Once upon a time there was a man and a woman. They went out hunting, it was the day before Thanksgiving, the man saw a turkey on a tree, so he shot at it and down it fell. The man picked it up and they washed it for Thanksgiving. When Thanksgiving came, Oh, what a feast! .Turkey, chicken, candy, granges, apple sauce, peanut butter, cake, peanuts, bread and but,er. After the feast was done, they washed the dishes, swept the 'floor and then went for a walk. When ' they came home the wife set the table and they ate their supper and thanked God for his goodness for giving them such a feast Vera Lubinsky, 5th grade Whitewater. rWhy We Have Thanksgiving The Puritans landed in 1620.: When they got off their boat, the Mayflower, they were thinking of some way to thank God for being so good to them. They all knelt down in the snow and thanked the Lord, when they got up one Puritan said, "Let us all have a day of Thanksgiving." So they proclaimed a day of Thanksgiving and they were to have it on the last Thursday in Nomber, 1621. They invited the Indians to eat with them. They had a nice feast of roasted wild turkey, corn bread, nuts and several nice things eo eat. And that Is why we have Thanksgiving on the last Thursday of November. Ruth .Hopkins, Whitewater. The Thanksgiving Dinner It was the day before Thanksgiving and Aunt Pearl and Mary's cousin were coming. Mary's father had a big turkey dressed and her mother was baking pies and cakes for tomorrow. In the morning her aunt arrived. Mary played with her cousin while her mother put the turkey in to roast. They cracked nuts until dinner. When dinner was ready they all sat down and thanked God, for they were good Christian people. They had mashed potatoes and turkey and dressing and many other things to eat. After dinner they went out in the sleigh for a ride. When they came back it was time to take their aunt to the station. They had a nice time that day. Edith Johnson, Whitewater school. THANKSGIVING COMPANY It was the day befort Thanksgiving when Charles, Everett, Frank and Benjamin came over to ask Mrs. Smith if she could come over for ThanksgivingA She said yes, and when they were gone, she told Mary, her daughter, to go and get two pumpkin pies and price the turkeys at the grocery store, and to get some corn to pop. When Mary did this she came home and said that turkeys were sixteen cents a pound. Her mother got one and took its feathers and made Mary an Indian suit with feathers for her hat. Then when Thanksgiving came they went over and Mrs. Smith took her turkey and pumpkin pies and pop corn. The children popped the corn and the mothers made the doughnuts and pies, and they had turkey and popcorn and chicken. After all was over they played for there were nine children. There were five girls, and I forgot to tell you their names, Helen, Elizabeth, Stella, Elsie and Mary. A pupil, Warner school.
