Helen Goodwin.

Enjoy Mr. Nohr's Exhibition I though the entertainment was very nice last Friday. I thought that everything went very nice after it quit raining. I think it was hard to tell which performance was the best. The people acted as though they enjoyed it very well. There were many people there. It eeems as though everyone thought It was great when Mr. Nohr did his performance. I liked it and enjoyed it very much and I hope the other people did also.- Lona Elkins, Warner School, 6B.

A FAIR IN TOWN

Yes! Thers' going to be a fair right here in Richmond, on the twenty-sixth of May, which is next

Saturday.

Do you know where St. Paul Episcopal church is? Well, that's where

Its going to be held, and its on the northeast corner of Eighth and North A streets.

The Kodakichiopi Camp Fire is going to give the fair in order to

raise the money necessary to receive their wood-gatherers rings. It's going to be really worth coming to with its fortune telling booth, "this way to the races," incubator babies, art gallery, fishpond and refreshments of pop-corn and tea, and just think of it, all for fifteen cents! Yes, it's true, and of course you know you can just pay a few cents, and see part of it, if you wish to. ' Won't you come, and tell all your friends about it, and try to get them to come, too? You'll have a splendid time, the girls of the camp-fire assure you Elizabeth Grace.

A GIRL WHO SHARED Once upon a time there lived a little girl. Her name was Cora. One day her mother gave her some money. As she was skipping along the street she saw a little girl crying. Cora asked her why she was crying. The little girl said, "Oh, I am so hungry." Cora was not a selfish child, so she said, "Wait a moment." Cora went to the grocers and when she came back she had a lot of good things to eat. So they sat down and ate the food. Alter they had finished the little girl said, "Oh, thank you." After that Cora would always share her things. Bernice Wehloeg, 5A Warner.

A SCOUT WITH A HOE

With a hoe in his hand And a tongue in his head, A Scut is as good As a man shooting lead. As good as a soldier, As good as a ship, His hoe is his weapon No gun on his hip. He's up in the morning, At night he's in bed. He works for Our CountryHe keeps fighters fed. Not looking for medals, Not making a show, , Not playing the hero Just a scout with a hoe. He enlisted nine more, Each scout with a hoe, Each one's a soil soldier To make the grub grow. Two million scouts hoes Have an influence felt , In that line of defenses Just below the belt. Scouting Magazine. Editor's Note The above poem is not only for Boy Scouts, but every girl and boy in "Richmond can "do their bit" by raising a garden.

A GOOD NEW BOOK STRANGE STORIES OF THE GREAT VALLEY By Johnston Grosvenor. Everybody will enjoy it, even the girls, because this is a real live story, telling the adventures of a boy who lived in a time when things happened. It cleverly brings in the early history of Indiana and of Cincinnati, telling the adventures which this backwoods "Doby" has with the Indians, and how he met Abraham Lincoln, Johnnie Appleseed and many others. But you should read the book and see for yourself. This is not in the library yet but it is on sale at the book' stores. Harpers publishers.

CHARITY In the suburbs of New York there lived a little rich girl. This little girl's name is Isabella June. She was thinking of a way to help the poor people. At last she thought of a plan. There was an apple tree in the back yard. Isabella went out in the back yard and picked a basket full. This 6he took to a poor sick girl that lived down the street. The little girl thanked her again and again. She said, "Those are the best apples I have tasted for a long time." After that Isabella took many things to the poor. The poor people after that called her Isabella June Sunshine. Herbert L. Martin, 6B grade, Warner school.

v ADJUSTING A SEARCHLIGHT r Y I IV i .

Artiguenave, president of the little republic Haiti, has called Germany "the common enemy," and asked their congress to declare war also.

This is an operation requiring great skill in order that the adjustment be accurate.

A Wonderful Steam Engine Helping at Hard Times

Anyone who doubts that wonders can be accomplished in these modern times, should know that now we have a steam engine that can draw an ordinary passenger train over an ordinary rail road fast enough to cover the distance between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans in one day. In fact such a train has been operated, and the passengers can watch the sun rise over the Atlantic, and that same day watch it set over the Pacific ovean. But it might be said that this engine only has been tried at the Panama Canal.

Once upon a time' in a little city of Indiana there lived a girl by the name of Mary. One day Mary was looking through the paper when she came upon a sheet that told about how high food was and how hard it was for the poor to get it. After she read this she was determined to help them. So she asked her mother if she could take them something. Her mother said she could take them a basket of apples. So the little girl was very happy and ever since then she has helped the poor. Marvel Moffitt, 6B Warner.

Whitewater School Art Exhibit a Great Success

The Art Exhibit which was held at "Whitewater School Wednesday afternoon was a great success. They had everything from a real Morton Lake in the kindergarten room with its sand and stones and Lots-for-Sale, to a glass of delicious cool lemonade made by a fifth grade boy. Every room was so full of interesting things that you wondered if the next grade could have anything else as nice, and each one did. There were little houses made of blocks with Measles and Chickenpox signs on the doors, a funny old clown riding on a lion's back, page after .page of beautiful writing, lovely pictures, both painted and crayoned, wood work where the boys had cut out little toys with coping saws, and even made birdhouses, tabourets, book racks and many other things; dresses and aprons made in the sewing classes, and such lovely golden brown rolls, cakes and pies, besides bran bread, gelatine, and other things from the domestic science classes that everyone could sympathize with the boys who said "Hssspp, hssspppp" because their mouths were watering so much. There was a little unknown history to some of the exhibit. The girls and boys, too, were to

make their pies at home and then bring them over to the school Wednesday morning. So as one of the girls was carefully bringing her beautiful pie to school, she had an unfortunate meeting with a dog, in which she dropped the pie, and then the dog stepped on it. But after carefully dusting it and turning it right side up once more, the pie's face was as' bright and shining as ever for the exhibit, and it wasn't made to be eaten anyhow. For the exhibit, Theolinda De Veto has told us many interesting things about it himself: Dear Aunt Molly We had the Art Exhibit Wednesday. The boys made bears, sleds and Santa Clauses. One of the boys made Humpty Dumpty. He looks like an egg. Lindo made a Christmas tree. Jesse, Guiseppe and Clarence made turkeys. Clarence made the best gun. Jesse made a soldier. His suit Is blue. Guess what Guiseppe made? A liitle dog. Glen made a cow, but when he went to the board he made the cow fall off and the cow's tail broke. I have drawn the home of little Toyotaro, the colonial kitchen, cat tails, lanterns, fruit blossoms, maple leaves and it has something on it. It's a lady bug. and I made some maps. They are in the art exhibit.

No Baseball This Spring Owing to the bad weather, and also the many festivals and exhibitions which are being given this spring, Mr. Nohr says that it will be impossible for the grade schools to play a series of baseball games this spring as they did last. But he says that in view of the fact that they will begin a schedule the first week . after school takes up next September, all the practice playing the boys will do now, will Bhow in their work next fall. Already Hibberd and Finley schools have been practicing up. and probably will play each other in the near future. But the Finley boys say it's no use for Hibberd to try, they won't have even the shadow of a chance against the F. P. (Finley Professionals.)

MARSHAL JOFFRE There were a lot of special cars for the General and his party. Some were, a Frenchman called the "Blue Devil," Rene Viviania, General Joffre and other members of the party. There were many detectives around the great general that saved Paris from the Germans. He was dressed in a pair of red trousers, wilh black stripes at his side, blue coat with stars at his coat sleeve, tan shoes and leggings. The United States soldiers were at guard. When the band played the Star Spangled Banner and the French national hymn, he saluuted. He escaped the submarine zone. He stayed 10 minutes. Byron Bond, 5A Grade, Warner School.
