Miss Ella Cawker has just the position and in the only woman teach children how to care for dumb PRIZE COMPOSITION (Uncorrected) lumbering In the winter time meiT oui tp cut trees. They have big sleds to haul the logs. They go there in winter because the puddles of mud freezes and the snow is deep enough to hold the big sleds. They cut the trees and haul the logs to the river banks. Now comes the spring time. The snow melts and sometimes the rivers overflow. The water gets deeper. They roll the logs in the river and start pushing the logs in the river. One log might stop and this causes many others to stop. The men have lots, of trouble then. .The workmen have long poles to push the logs. The logs are being pushed to the saw mill. They saw the logs into boards. Now they are ready to be made into wonderful things. Tbey take boards to the factories. Do you know what they make? I do. They make wagons, buggies, doors, picture frames, paper out of soft trees, houses, barns and many other things. These things are sold to store. People buy the things and make their homes pretty.

RICHMOND SENDS PEARL KEYS TO KING Few boys and givla realize that fight here in Richmond a small music shop makes pearl violin keys for the king of England. The orders come from a dealer in London who orders keys and chin rests for instruments, but he always men tions especially the ones which are for the royal family and they are made of pearl. Before the war orders also came from dermany, and even now orders have come from Canada and Sweden, but the most important one is of course for the London merchant who orders for the king.

ECHOES BY CLAUDE Q. MILLER Paul Ballirtger says, "Nobody can. play with my foot ball and live to get over it." When they do, Paul uses woman's most effective weapon tears. Paul also says, "I believe in running everything I can." He has just run a chicken out of his yard. Paul was playing his violin up stairs one day wehn his newly adopted dog came trotting up the Btairs and sat down beside him Soon Paul's playing became too unbearable to the dog and he let out a "Ow-w-u." His brother's voice, came from the stairs, "Paul, stop playing that 'Melody in O' and play your lesson." Now I think we know enough of Paul's life. Let us shift to something more enjoyable. For instance; compare the town of CenterviUe with Westville. The boy stood on the burning deck His clothes were all on fire He jumped in the ocean to his neck If he didn't I'm a story-teller." Those boy scouts say watch us grow But an outsider thinks they're pesky slow. Yeu know, when I -grow up I tljn't know which I'll do, Get Mar rieo ;i5 JJ???2r; muiM iMinj mil a guat uub JVU kau . codfish. The Y. M, C. A. is thinking seriously of starting a Boy Scout class. We're glad there thinking seriously of it now if the think goes through the tin wear wilt all be in one class. You know in the Y pool Elmer Besber just learned how to keep his eyes open under water. Well, well, Elmer, if you don't keep your eyes open how can you tell when you hit the water. The West Siders say that a fib wag told about them last week of fighting' with the river gang and getting in the lead. They say they didn't have a fight at all. They say five minutes after -they saw the river gang they were ait home bt one he lived up on Seventh street. I suppose when Darrell Krone got home they had to use a fire extingulsher on him to keep his shoes from burning up. Once upon a time there lived a boy in a village back' in the dim woods of an Arcadian county. The boy got up every morning early. One morning oh the Fourth of July he cried because he never had a fire cracker but that didn't matter. He got up earlier than usual and hears the day break and stayed up later to see the night fall and the stars shoot. Wasn't that delicious? I can't write anything better than that. My brain's asleep. - Talking of brains asleep, did you ever have your foot asleep and not an alarm clock In the bouse? General Joffre has been " the highest military title in France, a Marshal.

His nickname was Doc and he was known by old and young as "that George Dewey." , In Halstead's "Life of, Admiral Dewey" is told of one day when a Certain grouchy farmer complained to the school teacher that some of his apples had disappeared. So the high-brow teacher informed the scholars that he knew the guilty boy and that the next time that happened the . boy would be puniBhed. That afternoon Dewey sianea me repon oi a ram ior that night, so sure enough the teacher came sneaking along that night and crawled into a big hogsllfilit iu nine. uui Jivf nwilici TTtxn he in, than the boys slipped up from behind, and rolled that hogshead, teacher and all , down that hill ker-plunk! And the next day when the teacher . appeared at school, Somewhat black and blue, he never mentioned one word about apples. ECONOMY NEWS Champion SpeUers Win Prizes Our class is in room three.
