PRIZE COMPOSITION

Taking Dinner to Papa Once upon a time a little girl was sent to take her papa's dinner to him way off in the woods where he was at work. The little girl's name Is Mary Etta. She is seven years old. As Mary Etta was walking along through the meadow a goose came running up toward her with its motith open and tried to bite her. Mary Etta was so frightened that she threw her papa's dinner at the goose. The goose stopped and the little girl kept on run! ning, thinking the goose was running after her. She ran and ran until she came to a fence and got on a gate opening in a meadow. She looked to see where the goose was but no goose could she see near her. She looked again and, saw the goose walking toward the barn-yard and got off of the gate and ran back to get her papa's dinner. But when she got there, nothing was in the basket. This made Mary Etta cry. She got her basket and went oft home crying. And Mary Etta's papa had ne dinner that day. Martha Smith, 4A grade, Whitewater.

THE FATE OF THE CAKE-EATER

"No, Bobby," Mother's voice was stern; "you cannot have any more cake today." . Bobby sighed. He loved cake and Mother know it. He only had eaten four pieces. He wandered out upon the porch and sat down in the hammock. He whistled for Towser, hia dog, but he did not come. He lay there for a few moments. Suddenly he heard a small voice caling his name. "Bobby, Bobby." Bobby looked carefully about him and discovered a tiny fairy standing upon the porch railing half hidden by a leaf. "Come with me," the fairy said, "and I will give you all the cake you want to eat." Bobby felt himself floating through the air. "This is nice," he murmered, "I always wanted to fly." The fairy smiled. "Here we are," she said. "This is the faries' bakery." "Oh my!" Bobble's eyes grew big. "Eat all you wish," the fairy said, calling two little elves to her. "Here is a little boy I brought with me from the earth. Take him and show him our land and give him all he wants to eat." The elves took hold of Bobble's hands and led him to a large table where they gave him everything to eat that Bobby had ever seen. He for once ate all the cake that he wanted. "Now, come with us," the elves said when he had finished eating. They flew with him over green fields. Several times they crossed great rivers. They flew on and on. Bobby began to notice that the country had grown rougher and rougher. They were now flying over mountains. "I don't want to go any farther," Bobby said. "Take me back home."' The elves only laughed and flew faster. At last they flew down and landed upon the top of a high mountain and entered a large hole in the side. On and on they went. It was very dark. Bobby could bear something roaring that sounded like the falls of a river. What was it he wondered. He was soon to find out. They turned a corner and came directly upon a great hole in the earth with great flames leaping up in the cavern. Many little elves were running back and forth with lumps of gold and silver and gold ornaments. "These," the elves said to the trembling Bobby, "are our goldsmiths. "Come closer and look into the pit." They dragged him up and gave him a push. Down, down he fell. The flames burned him. At last he reached the bottom. Slowly he opened his eyes and looked about him. He was still at home. But he had fallen out of the hammock. Not yet quite awake he called his mother. She came to the door. "What is it?" she asked. "Don't, don't let them push me. ' "You have been dreaming, Bobbie," his mother said as she helped him up from the floor. And Bobby acknowledged that he had. Mamie Gilroore, Greensfork, lndiaua, freshman class.

Boy Scouts are Active Last Sunday the Boy Scouts of Troop 2 went on their monthly hike, going in three divisions. At the camp some of the second class fellows passed their cooking test, and two lean-to's were made in record time. Before coming home they had a flag rush, which, according to Mr. Erammer, Is played by two sections of scouts at a given signal, rushing up a hill to a flag stationed at the top, and trying to get it back to their starting place before the "enemy" captured it. Wednesday night the scouts drilled In the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. Mr. Brammer says, "I never saw the fellows do better work." After three games of polo and a swira Mr. Dehlavani of Bombay, India gave them a great speech. Ask Ted Keisker. Claude G. Mijler.

Pet Rabbits Are Frozen Little Louisa Webb is very foad of rabbits. In fact she is so fond of them that when her little pets died from the cold not long ago, it nearly broke her heart and she has written to tell us about them herself: I have to pet rabbits. It is a big one. I let them out one day. My rabbit had seven little ones and froze to death. 1 have let them out be for. One was a little one. Louisa Webb, Greensfork.

REMEMBER ST. PATRICK Two weeks from today will be March 17, and you know what that means, don't you? Already one girl has been thinking about it, and tells us the story: Years and years ago there were lots of snakes In Ireland. It worried the people very much because they were afraid of snakes. There was a little boy living there who was not afraid of snakes. He thought he would get rid of

them when he got big. When he became a young man, one day he dressed in green and with a big club drove all the snakes from Ireland. 1 do not like snakes, so I would like to live there Juliet Louise Smith, third grade, Greensfork, Ind.

On Washington's Birthday Thursday Mrs. Mendenhall mads a speech at Warner school. Onca when some people were going hunting George wanted to go very much. He was then nine years old and he and his mother lived on their farm. They had some nice black horses. George kept up with the rest of the people. He was riding fast when the horse fell down and hurt his knee. George wa3 about four miles from home and he had to walk all the way back. The over-seer of the farm was going to whip the hostler for letting George go. George said, "If anybody gets a whipping it will be me for I took it out without his permission." That shows how brave and true George was. Once when Mrs. Mendenhall was little where they lived was a lot of snow. Her little brother was always getting sick because they went out of doors without their hats. Her mother wrpte a note to the big boys to keep care of them. After that the big boys kept good care of them. That shows how the big boys can teach the little boys to grow up and be citizens. Once when George was ready to go to sea he went to say good by to his mother. She asked him not to go, so he stayed at home. When George Washington's father was dying he told George to be always kind and true and keep good care of his mother. Then Miss Thompson played Old Glory on the Victrola. Our room had some little flags and the other rooms dkln't know It. While it was played we waved our flags. We got out at three o'clock.' Nellie Burton, Warner school.
