The Naughty Chicken
Charles was a little boy 8 years old. He was a rich littleuboy, he lived in the country on a big farm. His birthday Came on Easter. Every time he had a birthday his papa , would give him a box of candy. . Charles was always wanting some chickens, so when his birthday came, his father gave him a hen. . Charles ran out on the porch and he saw no candy but a big hen in a basket. Charles was so pleased that he ran and put il in the yard with the other chickens. Every day he gave the hen water and fed her. One day Charles went to feed his hen and there was four little yellow fluffy chickens'. Charles was so happy he ran in the house and told his father. Charles named the chickens "Topsey."
"Peep." "Specky" and "Fluff."

the ducks coaxed Peep to go swim ming in the brook. So one morn

Spring Makes Need . For More Playground Dear Aunt Molly: Warner school is getting in need of a larger' playground every day. One reason is that it Is coming spring and the boys want a .place to play ball near the school house. Another reason Is that many of the children ot Warner live In J late and haven't any yards to play. in. . I think the playground at Glen Miller will be very nice. But it is so far from us and we will not get to go very often. ' ' ..? - We would appreciate v your help very much in adding to our playground. Yours truly, Alice Caveny.
