This is your little newspaper and we hope each boy and girl will use it thoroughly. .

KEEPING JAKE AND SALUE ON THE FARM There have always been country Jakes and Sallies migrating to the city and the number to increasing. Something should be done to keep them on the farm, or the greater percent of them anyhow. Did you ever hear your grandfather tell of the times of his boyhood? Going to -church and going to school where a twin-cranberry eyed teacher administered wisdom and switches, parties, corn shuckIngs, apple-peelings, etc. Of course we wouldn't think of having corn Bhuckings now but we might have something similar. The rural church has special ben efit to the country districts, I think, for various reasons. It is a center where it brings the surrounding people weekly for worship, it can be used, as a halt in a city is used, for holding social events. Of course you, or almost all of you, possess automobiles and can easily reach the town churches, but here we are liable to lose the spirit I am trying to encourage you Into. : Tho rural schools are naturally alders in the development of rural districts, where they bring your children up in country ways and by country means. But I would advise not to let them atop hereof possible. ' The vocational schools will certainly 'have their places. So many of the scholars consider going to

high school ai useless, to a farmer, and it .they can be persuaded to enter a vocational school, where they will learn something about scientific farming and cooking it surely will be a great boon to the community. The community should learn the value of food music Bring it into the hom'i. Organize an orchestra, A good fay to obtain good music Is by a I ictrola (however I am not an agi) and Mr. and Mrs. Bird are rrommended musicians. A !jrary of the best hooks is always reoomniendable, although it maf cost a Bum t money. Probably the communiy could furnish a library. - A free game of baseball between two rivaling communities might prove aa interesting as two league teams, especially if fat men play. Try visiting your neighbors annually, or if possible per annually. Hold a social gathing once a centurybut don't get angry, I was only suggesting it, probahly that ia too often. Enter into it with a spirit that will do any man's heart good to see. Watch your community grow prosperous as a whole- Maybe your boys and girls will stay home because they will have "a better time on the farm than in the city." Chester Atkinson, Oreensfork.

Be Loyal!

Although we of Indiana cannot see the crowded streets of Washington, with all the flags and flying banners, the parades of national troops, the senators, governors and statesmen, and most of all, the great president of our country, at this time of his second inauguration, there is something far greater than we can do. There have been six great periods in our country when the destiny of the nation hung in the balance the Declaration of Independence, making the constitution, the war of 1812, the civil war, the sinking of the Maine, and breaking diplomatic relations with Germany. At all other times, every American was filled with highest patriotism. Now we are in the midst of another crisis and, Juniors, although we neither can take part in the great inaugural celebration, nor be of help in solving the national problems, we can stand for all the things our country means and be loyal!

A Fairy Story Once upon a time there lived two boys and one little girl all of them are brothers and sisters. The girl's name is Alice and the two boys are Richard and Robert. Richard said to Alice one morning, "I am going into the woods, cut down trees and make a house for us to live in." He set out that morning and went into the woods. As he went to chop down one of the trees suddenly a little girl all dressed in white appeared before Richard. Richard never saw a little girl

like this little girl before. She said to Richard, "I am a fairy, and if you will not cut this tree down I will grant to you two wishes, for thi3 tree is my home." Richard told her he would like to have a house for his sister and brother. She at once put, at the edge of the forest, a palace. Richard's next wish was that his sister and brother had nice clothes. He went home very happy and that afternoon they moved into the palace and they had everything they wanted. Richard and his brother and sister lived very, very happy and the little fairy came to see them many times. Eva May North, Whitewater School.
