Holy Angels' Society

The officers of the Holy Angels' Society are composed of Thomas Noland, president, and Thomas Ryan, treasurer. This is like what we had las, year as we have not elected any this year yet. Every second Sunday in the month when we go to mass and holy communion the boys are on one side of the church and the girls on the other. We march over and wear badges; the girls wear their badges on a ribbon around their necks. The boys wear pins. We bring five cents a month, about half of which goes to the missionaries in China to purchase baby girls, where they can be bought for almost nothing. The mothers do not care for them and throw them in the rivers and lakes nearby. Some of them can be bought for so many stamps. Griffin Jay, St. Mary's School.

My Last Cooking Lesson' The girls of my class go to cooking school at Earlham. The last time we went we made corn meal mush. We took a double boiler, 1 cup of boiling water, V C"P of meal. We stirred it and put it in slowly. After it was done we ate it and washed our dishes. Our teacher graded our books and I think all of our class got satisfactory. She gave us our books and we went home. That was the last time for the 6A grade. The girls that are in my class are: Florence Tittle, Alta Mote, Nora Nixon, Gladys Simpson, Margaret Stevens, Ruth Harris, Lydia Hazeltine, Bernice Stout, Viola Farley, Nondis Daugherty.

BOYS LIKE WOODWORK

At Whitewater school the 5th grade has woodwork. The boys enjoy it very much. Some of the things we made are owl, Teddy bear, knife and so on. I think that it would be nice to make a hatchet on the 22nd of February, because it is George Washington's birthday I do think woodwork is Just fine. John Rizio, Whitewater School.

The regular monthly meeting of the Busy Worker's class of tho Second Presbyterian church met this afternoon with Miss. Audrey Roller. A most" interesting ceremonial meeting was held Tuesday evening at the home of Miss Helen Goodwin, when the Kodakichiapi Camp Fire Girls assembled for their bimonthly gathering. The next meeting will be Feb. 13, the hostess to be Catheryn Binkley. GIRL FINDSMONEY ' Once upon a time there was a little girl. Her name was Helen. She and her mother lived together. They had a little garden from which they made the living. On$ day when Helen went out to gather some things there was not anything to be found because they had got the last of it , the day before. So they had to go without food for a few days. One day when she and her mother were up town trying to sell things, they saw a small bag lying on the edge of the sidewalk. So Helen ran and picked it up and what do you think was in it? A lot of money. And ever after that they were happy, because they had enough of money to keep them as long as they liveL-Louise Eramett, 3A, Whitewater School.

Sewing Class Does Good Work Dear Aunt Molly The Gth grade has a sewing class; we sew after recess every Friday. When we get in 6B we make small things like small aprons and caps. We sew on the machine. We have a very nice teacher. The 5A's have a class and the SB's have a class. The 4th grade has a class and the 6th grade has a class. The 3B and 3As are too little to sew I think. When we are in the 5A and 6B we make things like large aprons and petticoats, corset covers and dresses. Ruth Hopkins, Whitewater School.

Whitewater Picture Show My Dear Aunt Molly: Last week we did not have a show, but there will be a show this week. It will be "Colonial Days." I am sure it will be good. We are going to beat in selling tickets this week. There are only 22 children in the 6th grade, and there are 30 in our room, so I know we will beat. Please come and buy the ticket from our room. I will write and tell you if our room beats. Nellie Livezey, Whitewater School, 5A.

Girls Plan to Show Boys Good City Government

The boys of Richmond have organized a Boytown, with their mayor and councilmen and all the other officials. Now the girls plan to have their turn and form a Girls' Government League that would correspond with the Boy City In every respect, even to allowing the boys to look on while they, the girls of Richmoud, carried on their affairs. . The idea is entirely new, but all the girls seem to be most enthusiastic about it. A meeting of repre-

FATHER MARQUETTE Amongst the early Frenchmen who came over to gain a foot hold in America were several catholic priets. One of these brave priests was Father Marquette. He went far west of the settlements made the Strait of Mackinac built a little chapel, where he worked to make Christians of the Indians. An Indian hunter told him of a great river farther west. He made up his mind to go in search of it. He made the journey in a canoe sleeping out at night and eating fish and wild animals his companions killed. In this way they crossed the head of Lake Michigan passed on to Green Bay and entering Fox River, soon came to an Indian village. Here they got guides that showed them through the forest to the Wisconsin River. - A week later they entered the mighty Mississippi . of which the Indians far back in Mackinac had told them. No white man had ever been there before. They made their way' down stream to the mouth of the Arkansas River. The Indians were after

unfriendly and they were afraid of

the Spaniards they had found out that the Mississippi flowed into the Gulf of Mexico and that it did not lead to the pacific Ocean. They returned home but they had given France the claim to a vast territory. Hallie Marshall, 4B Grade, War-

i ner School.

sentative girls from most of the schools was held Thursday afternoon and the plans for starting the organization were talked over. In general this is the plan: To organize a complete city government entirely of girls, the girl mayor, a city clerk, council-girls, police-girls, a girl judge, a prosecuting attorney, and all the rest, with a board of health, city commissioners and every official position filled in the Girls' Government League, with the dominating purpose of the League to be teaching girls how city government is carried on, as well as being the means, of them making their own laws and discussing their own interests together. The movement has barely begun, but since Superintendent Giles is in favor of the project, as well as

TO ERR IS HUMAN Since "to err is human," and the Palladium is issued by very human individuals, we humbly beg grace for so startling the community by announcing last week that Harvard was founded in 1847; the correct date is 1636.

A Narrow Escape . Once upon a time when we lived in the country, my mother and sister and I went to milk. We had an old black cow. She didn't like red. We had on red coats. She saw us and began running. . My sister got up on the threshing machine and I crawled under it and called papa to take her away. And that is the end of my Btory. Ray Wilson, 6B grade, Whitewater School.

He Likes School So Far Monday was Russell Woodhurst's first day at kindergarten, and during the whoje time he kept all the other children in his room constantly surprised at his sayings.

until finally he burst out: "Say, t this is some school !"

many other Influential people, the girls no doubt will carry through their Girls' - Government League and show not only the boys but the people of Richmond as well, that they are perfectly capable of managing their af faris according to the laws of city government. -

THE FORESTS OF STONE - The petrified forests, or forests turned - to stone, are in Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Wyoming and California. In -1908 Congress set aside 3,000 acres in Navajo County for the petrified forests. It is thought that a volcanic material overwhelmed noble forest at one time, and as fast as' the tissue of the -wood was carried away by underground" water, Us place was then occupied by mineral matter until the whole trees became stone. ' - - When the supporting rocks were washed away, the heavy petrified trees fell into fragments. One ra vine or canyon -washed out leaving a natural bridge- of the petrified trunk of a fallen pine. This bridge is forty-three feet long and thirty feet from the bottom of the canyon. Recently it has been cracking and falling to pieces, but the government caretakers have built two abutments to prevent disaster. The tree trunks hare been turned . into agate. . Sections resemble onyx and jasper. -Fragments are as heavy as lead. Visitors are permitted to cany away chips as mementoes. A 1 1 1 e Clingenpeeli Whitewater School.
