THE JOYS OF A FORD

People go pell-mell through the town In their Fords, up and down. Why don't all the people buy them? They might at least try them. They'd like to have one, they must confess, But they're afraid of taking a spill, 1 guess. If they're careful, there'd be less spills', Tbey could go in safety over the hills. And why not give the dog some joy? He would enjoy it like a boy. And when you want to take a spin, Just crank up, and jump, in. Put all the gasoline in you need And then start off at any speed. Sail away from the city and care Out in the pure, sweet country air. Think all this over, and make up your mind, If you want a car, buy this kind. Ruth Walker.

Ice Ponds and Spelling Bees

"I dare you to skate to the other end of the pond! I dare you!" "You know that it isn't safe up there." "Coward!" "Well I'll go." Bob had been called a coward because he did not want to risk liis life by skating up to the farthest end of the lake where the ice was very thin. As the boy skated on he thought, "The ice is getting thinner, I can feel it. The boys yells are getting fainter. Oh! If I had only stayed home and studied. Miss Barton told me today that I would fail in spelling, if I didn't study harder. What will mother say when she sees my .report card. I can see it now. History 90 Spelling ....35 Arithmetic ..95 Music 80 Oh! The ice is cracking." Then he went down. He knew no more until he awoke to find his mother's anxious face above him. She gave a sigh of relief as he opened his eyes. The doctor who had been standing, by the window came and stood by his bed. "You were almost gone. Bob," he said. If Jack Harris hadn't been down there you wouldn't be here now." "You had better go to sleep now," he said after a pause. As soon as Bob appeared to be asleep and the older folks left the room. Poor Bob in his dream began worrying about his spelling. He dreamed that he was in the. library when he heard sounds, as' If tiny people were talking. "That boy just treats me dreadful. I wash that he could learn to spell me n-e-i-g-h-b-o-r-, instead of n-a-y-b-o-r. Well, say! You are not half so, abused as I. He spells me w-e-b-b-a-r-o, said wheelbarrowfi "Don't talk, he spells me n-e-f-u," wailed nephew. Soon the whole speeling book was "walking around on the library table, wailing and talking of their mistreatment. "Talk" was crying because he was spelled "t-a-u-k." "Automobile" was making a great noise because it was spelled a-u-t-o-m-o-b-e-1.

"Architect" was spelled a-r-k-a-t-e-c-t. "Deceive" was spelled d-e-c-e-v. "Root" was spelled r-u-t-e. "We will crowd to his mother and teacher and ask them to teach him how to treat us," they- finnaly agreed on. Bob awoke very much startled. His spelling book was lying on the table just as he had left it. "Mother," he called, "please come here." "What do you wanted. Robert?" "Please, mother, won't you help me with my spelling; I haven't got one hundred on my paper thi3 term. "Why, my dear boy! Of course I will help you. Let's begin right now. Just think a little, Bob. Spell neighbor." "Ne-i-g-h-b-o-r." "That's fine. Spell wheelbarrow." "W-h-e-e-l-b-a-r-r-o-w." "Good. Architect." "A-r-c-h-I-t-e-c-t." "That Is right; automobile." "A-u-t-o-m-o-b-i-l-e." "A-u-t-o-m-o-b-i-l-e." "What is wrong with your spelling. Bob?" "Well, mother, I guess it is just because I don't study enough. I thought that I studied "awful" hard, but I guess I don't." A week later he went back to school. The once dreaded time for- spelling came but Bob had mastered it. He got one hundred on his paper that day and the next, almost every day. Finally he stood at the head of the class. The challenge of the yearly "spelling Bee" had come. Bob was chosen leader for their school. He was preparing for th egreat time. He studied his speller and then the dictionary. When the time for the "Spelling Bee" arrived Bob was prepared. He and. the leader of the other side were the only ones standing. The words shot like bullets. Everybody was silent, waiting for the last mistake. It was the other leader's turn, acre was the word. A-c-e-r came the letters nlowyl and stinctiy. Everybody's breath came in gasps. Bob's turn. A-c-r-e. The game was his. Bob had won. Helen Brown.

Plans of the English II Class for the Term The fifth hour English II class of room 48 have planned to do a great many things this term. We have planned to do the following things: 1. We are going to have a debate. We will probably debate about

something on the Girl's Government League, because the class is very enthusiastic over this question. 2. We are going to have a play some time during the term and we shall charge admission and the proceeds will go for either books or magazines. 3. We are going to have an entertainment and invite another English class to come. 4. We shall have a country fair and the proceeds also go for books and magazines. 5. This week our class is publishing the Junior Palladium. 6. We are going to learn to write short stories for a magazine. 7. We are going to have a book club instead of outside reading. ' We will meet as a reading club and pass the books, which we get with the proceeds of the play and country fair, around to all the pupils until everybody has read them. At the end of the tem we will then present them to the library. Besides all of this we intend to do the required work. Joseph -Smith. .

IN THE DAYS OF RICHARD, THE LION-HEARTEd

Back in the days of Richard the Lionhearted when the people fought with spears and had great walls around the city, lived a boy named John. In his early wouth he dreamed of the day when he would be a knight riding on a statly horse with armor all around him. On his twelfth birthday he was presented with a horse and an old knight to teach him the art of war. At the age of twenty he was knighted. Two years had past and John was the King's favorite and strongest of all the knights. One day news came that an army was coming to kill the people. With a little band of men John started out and met the enemy on the hillside defeating them. After this victory he was appointed to search for a raving band of robbers. One day as he was searching for the robbers he and one attendant came upon a lonely house. After they had entered they were surprized to find it furnished and upon turning around they were confronted by a large man who had them put In irons. After a few days the knight persuaded one robber to turn him loose for a bag of gold. John then found his companions and raided the house with the robbers in it.

He caught all the men but three , which included the leader. But the j

knight was determined to'catch all. So after trailing them for three months he came upon their secret meeting place and went in with a body of men. But there were no robbers there. After a while one of the men discovered a trap door. Opening this the knoght took his men down and captured the robbers who had gone after some gold. After securing the men he let his soldiers get some gold. The gold and the men weighed so much that the stairs which were already rotten fell. This accident left them in a big hole without food, but they got their water from a spring which bubbled up in the corner of the hole. After two days one of the robbers called the knight aside and said he knew a way out and would show them if they would let him go. The knight promised and the robber showed them a secret passage which lead out of the Ifole. Soon after coming out of this tunnel there appeared a great ship coming around a cliff. After awhile it arrived but the knight and all his men were crestfallen, because the flag the ship bad was the Jolly Roger the black flag of piracy. The knight did not know what to do. Should he let his men starve in the house or make an attempt to take the pirate's ship. Stanley Young-flesh.
