BOY SCOUTS PLAN FOR BIG YEAR Boy Scout troop 2 is planning to make the new year a progressive one in Scouting. The troop will be re-reglstered at National Heac quarters in January with between 28 and So scouts who are already members and several other boys have made application to Join this troop. At the time of reregistering there will be 15 Second Class Scouts and 1 First Class, and the remainder of the troop have qualified in nearly all of their Second Class tests. '

Beginning with the Tenderfoot test and continuing through the Second Class test the boys have been learning to be useful to them selves and others, to render first aid to the injured, to be resourceful and prepared at all times to do the right thing in any emergency that may arise. It will be the pur poso from now on in the First Class tests to continue this train ing much more advanced, and to help every Scout to realize his responsibility to others, encouraging his community interest and activity in those things which will make him a good citizen. It is the plan for each Patrol of Troop 2 to take up First Aid work and advance as far as possible. We wish to thank our . many friends and associates who have helped us during the year 1916.

We should keep our teeth clean and eat nourishing fond. I cannot tell you how mc'h your teeth are worth. I have not been washing my teeth all the, time. I have Just begun to. do it since I came in thfe room, the fourth grade. We talk about it in our room at Hibberd school every day. We should not only brush our teeth across, but up and down, too. We should tell bur friends and get them started cleaning their teeth. Maybe they can get their friends started at it tod. My teeth would have been better if I had started to take care of them when I was four years old. When you get to be seventy or eighty years old you will wish you had taken care of them when you were young. You would give the world for your teeth, but it is too late. Your teeth are the best friends you have got. Norman Gilmer, 4th grade, Hibberd School. Have Birthday Candy Warner School has adopted the unique custom of celebrating birthdays by having birthday candy. No one knows how this lovely custom first started, but it has grown to be an unvaried rule. Whenever anyone has a birthday, they bring- fairy -sticks enough to pass all around their room and even to others in the school, and every few days you - see someone going around making everybody else feel sweet and happy with the birthday candy. - That is one custom that children - have formed themselves, for the teachers had nothing to do with it, except to enjoy the candy after it has been brought. So you see, even though the children of the second ward do not have a large playground, there is some advantage in going to that school. ' Boys Have Great Hike About forty boys went on the Yi M. C. A- and Boy Scoot hike out to Reid Springs Tuesday afternoon. Am6ng the general thrilling experiences along the way, two boys (who earnestly requested their names withheld, because of alt too anxious parents) added- variety" by - deing acrobatic stunts wMch ended ta the ' river. Altogether the hike was a great suecess, even Mr, Sclrwan satd so, and the boys - would net-- mind ending up. every- vacation wKh such an event.' - - - - ......

This land is very large. In some places there are great deserts and also big . rivers and" grassy plains and big forests. The largest river is in the middle of Africa It is called the Kongo River. In its great valley many little black peo-f pie live. The girls and boys mak play huts, I will tell you how they make them. They break off strong reeds and set them in a circle In the ground. Tbeu they tie others on top to make a roof. They have no string but use long grass. Now the boys tie bunches of grass all over the reeds and the hut is done. There are wild animals in Africa.' There : name are Lions, Elephant,: Oorrlla, Hippopotamus and Leopard. I did not name them all. Joeseppe Dl Fellerleo 4A, age 10, Whitewater school. Bbytown Ball Rolling The new JBoytown ball has started rolling tn earnest since the first council meeting Thursday night. Mayor Swearinger is determined to make It a great thing, and If any of the present officials seem half hearted or uninterested they -will be requested to withdraw and let new and better members be appointed In their place. . Seme of the beys are like the prosecuting attorney,, who doesn't knew just whom he will- prosecute er bow be will do It, but will manage to see that every offender gets his Just punishment somehow, . Every boy . In the city should knew bis representative on the council, end take an . active interest In the work this year.. . Boy City can.be a great -thing, but.it Is up t the boys- of : Richmond -to make it so.

BOYS MAKE FURNITURE

At Joseph Moore School the boya have proved themselves mere, than real carpenters, they are. cabinetmakers. a order tp have a new interest for the girls on rainy days, they are planning tq make , a fell play house in the basement, and already the boys hays made doJ. furniture for it. Each boy brought cigar boxes from home. - sawed the. wood according to the patterns, nailed it with the tiniest little nails, and painted it brown, so that now they have a large collection of the most attractive little furniture anywhere. There are tables, beds, chairs, settees and old-fashioned, high hacked benches, and if : the girls put as pretty little ruga and curtains In the house as the furniture the boya have contributed, the doll house will be the most ideal in the city, and the Joseph Moore children may well be proud of their work. NEW PLAYGROUND Aunt Molly: The boys and gh-ls of Warner school need more playground and we don't know where to get it. We have next to the largest ward school In the public schools. We have "over 300 children, we also haye the smallest playground. The boys think it is not fair tp go to the other schools to play base ball, they want some more land to play on, so other schools could come to W&rjipr pchool to play ball. Do '6n noPst -S&TJffS want more" playground? Your friend BYRON BOND. NEW RACE TRACK . Richmond has a new race track, and all during vacation It was well tried out with almost constant use. It wasn't horse racing, or automobile racing or even motorcycle racing they are old. This was hoop- and roller skate yaclngt and the track was what they use for a fountain basin at the South Seventh Street Park in summer time. As you came down-the street those bright sunshiny days, all you could see was. a mass of bobbing heads there hi the fountain, and It looked as though the children were trying to be fish. But as you drew nearer, you would discover that the cause of the shouting tvas the races. By sending a roller skate around the basin fast enough tt would climb half way' up to the top, and look exactly like . the motorcycles racing in a cone. One of the boys could send his skate fast enough to go clear around twice before falling down at the bottom. Altogether the new race track was a rather nice place to spend part of the vacation. Under the "Mulberry Tree There was once a mulberry tree, which stood In a farm yard. It was loved by two little girls, for they spent many a happy hour under the tree. The girls names were Mary and Ellen. . In the summer time they had their play house under this tree. They laid some rugs to .-form a floor and then put their beds, table. chairs, dishes and dolls about. After they got everything in order they washed and dressed their dolls.. The girls found that the dolls had some - dirty clothes, so they put out a washing. They put their dolls in their' carriages and went to the grocery to get something for dinner. They came back and prepared their dinner. They had cookies, cocoa and, oranges. After the dinner was over tbey spent the afternoon with the dolls m the swing. Some cookies had been left on the table. Tbey got hungry, so tbey went In to get a cookie. . Tbey found that . some caterpillars bad dropped from the trees on the cookies.: After that tbey never made a play bouse under the tree.

Y0W;S FINANCIERS

UMtt? PARENTS One of the most unusual plans for children to. save money and at the same, time lerrn Us value, is. ths. system John and Alice Lemon use. After they have saved up to a cer-; tain sum,' they write out a note In the exact busiuess style loaning the tnoqey tq their parents, at a certain fate of interest for a certain length, . pf time, and then when the note is mature, they figure up the interest, collect the money, and either rtt out a new note, or put their, sav-; ings into a. bank, where they hove a Christmas. Savings Fund or what ever they choose. The following little article, tells hoy Alice advocates saving money, and it would be a good thing it many q the Juniors would follow her example, "Dear Juniors "Though I am ouly ten years old 1 have already saved enough money to form a good sized bank accountMy mother began by putting the. , Christmas money in a small tin bank, when I was but a baby. As ' I grew older I was getting pretty careless Until my first ride on a friend'e pony.. Then my chief ambitlon was to buy one. I saved all my nickles and dimes to put-in the account which I called my pony fund. My father thought me too young and decided to have me wait a few years. I am glad now that he did, for since then I have learned to ride a bicycle, and I prefer that of the two.

Yoti conld also help your mother with the house work. An especially good thing which. I have done for three years is having a Christmas satlhga account." Alice Lemon. HOW TO STAMP OUT TUBERCULOSIS In our Physiology class, we had to write a theme on ways and- means of stamping Out tuberculosis In your community. If you had known anyone who had suffered from the disease, you would want to do everything you could to help others In our community you can cure tuberculosis very eaBy If the person is not too sick. Here are some IHVI1BI9 Ilia. l,U HU HWCi i . Take them out in the fresh air. (2.) Give them light exercise. ' - If the house that the person is In has a sleeping porch, that is where he ean have plenty of fresh air and exercise. You must not let htm have exercise very- hard, just light exercise, and as the patient grows stronger give him exercise gradual ly harder. MY MOTTO: I will do my best to help- stamp it out, and will get my neighbor to help. Louise Ballard, Economy school.
