Uhvr Wa Hnna Mnt Tf 11 J Ift uaYt TT at "Grandmother," said Jimmle G. one day, when be bad been looking out of the window for some time, thinking as hard as he could, t'wby do men go to war and kill each other, anyhow? Why don't they just stay at home?" ; Grandmother Gray smiled as she said, "That's a pretty big question, Jimmie. - 1 "In the first place, you must realize that a great struggle to live is going on all the time in all the world, between the flowers : and the weeds, between different kinds of animals, and sometimes even between animals. and men. There are so many more seeds put! into the earth each year than possibly coul4 grow, that to live they have to fight Just as hard as they can for food and water and air and when one does live it means' that the other things which wanted to live in that place, had to die. So that war is a very old thing and has been going on in the world ever since life began. : What do ; you have to do every day or so in your onion bed?" ' "I have to pull out those old pestery weeds," answered Jimmie G. promptly. He had had experience enough' to know f -; "Of course you do. Because to let the better things live, the; bad things have to die. Plants and weeds cannot .. think or reason things out and so they either crowd out others and live; or are EXCHANGE COLUMN!

"And it even was the same way with men, thousands of years ago. If two men of the Stone age wanted one certain cave for their home, they would pick up their huge clubs and which ever one killed the other, would go into the cave and live happily ever after, unless he met another horrible man. They did not think or reason; they simply settled their matters by killing each other." . "Well, I Just tell you, I'm glad 1 didn't live then," said Jimmie G. "So am I," agreed . his grandmother. "And I don't think even those men were perfectly satisfied with that way of doing, because it was not many hundreds of centuries before these rough old ancestors of ours began making family agreements themselves enough so that at least the members of one family or tribe would not kill each other and even would help each other fight against the wild animals and hostile tribes that attacked them. And; these : family agreements grew to be fixed laws." "Oh I know," broke in Jimmie G. "We have laws now, don't we grandmother?"- . f "Yes, indeed we do," Grandmother Gray assured him. "And the reason we do, is because men found out that having laws was the only way they , could live together peacefully - and make' their - lives worth while. And so they made more and 'more laws ; until many tribes united and-began living un der the same laws, and then they were nations. "Why, that's just the way the United States is now, isn't it," interrupted Jimmie G. , "Yes," .- smiled hte .grandmother, "but we are far more complex than the - first tribe-nations "weres " We .have laws for the cities, andlaws, for the counties, laws.' for the- state and laws for the whole nation. And more than that, Jimfriie, we -have laws for all the whole world, called international laws,"" " "But grandmother' began Jimmie once ' more. . '! what . would the fiteopte do if they didn't 5 want to keep these tews?'' In. a republic as we have, we make our own laws, so that if . the people an a whole do not like a law Uhey can have their senators and representatives change it. but if -just 'one person doesn't want to keep a Jaw, he either has to go away fromlhe country-or else pay a penalty, In money or by. going to prison, v: . . -v ' j:...f i .. "But when one whole nation will not keep the laws and agreements which it has made with another nation, or when some new question comes up that they cannot reason out, then they go back to that old way of killing each other until one nation is ready to give up.'.' "I don't think that's very nice." said Jimmie G, after a moment's pause.;. . , v ',.-r : "Neither . does .anyone lse." agreed Grandmother Gray,, "and now everyone Is looking forward to the time when all the nations can be Joined in a great world union with , a congress of representative from every country on this earth to make the laws, and a great world police force to see that they are carried out. And then, Jimmie, you see we wont have wars anymore." Boys Celebrate Flag DayLast Thursday afternoon a mob of the Palladium street carriers had a regular parade to celebrate" Flag J uay. wan tne accompaniment or an orchestra made up of old dish pans, the paraders - marched full force back and forth , on , Sailor Street, with a poor dilapidated, but none the less - patriotic - Old Glory in their lead. All who saw the display and heard the .shouting agree that they made more noise than Sousa's Band possibly could,

and that those boys -undoubtedly did their "bit" to celebrate the great day. Henry McFarland. - Find People of Stone Age San Clemen te is an island about sixty miles west of Los Angeles where many relics of the men of the stone age recently have been found. In one sandy place so many were found close together, with their heads crushed and the stone hammers lying there with them, that it must have been a battle field of centuries and centuries ago. In the real burying grounds they find these old Btone-age people all facing the east and buried in a sitting position with their knees drawn up and their heads ent over. All their worldly posstssions were buried with them, and stone spears, stone jars and oven-stone flutes have been found. MUSI G Notes -of Interest ta Janior Palladium Readers Richmond -has some real young violinists who will no doubt become professionals, as .proven by " tb way-they played at .prof. Hicks'" recital last Wednesday evening,'Those who took part in the oregram were Elmer Beseher. Argus Oghorn, HowaTd J)ietricht Marie McManus, rene Jarra, Irvan Hall, Robert Hough, Joseph Hale,' Richard Robbins, Wm. . Romey; Donald Ramsey,, John . Black, . MargorJe Gault, Pauline Wallace,-and George Wissler. Gladys Longnecker rendered a beautiful piano selection. The youngest violinist on the program was Master Robert Hough, who didn't seem large enough to handle the bow, but he played splendidly. ... All the young folks are to be congratulated for their work on the violin, one of the most difficult and most beautiful of musical instruments. Many in the recital had not studied over a year. This shows, what young Richmond can do in a musical way. The- public schools of Eaton, O. has an orchestra and chorus, under the direction of Mrs. L. C. King. The orchestra consists of eighteen members and the chorus of about fifty. The orchestra consists of the following: . - : ' ' - First violins Gertrude Ressler, Elizabeth Parker, Donald Kubler, Elisabeth Housare, Victor Ressler, Paul Hapner.

ECHOES By HENRY McFARLONE. NEWSY NEWS

and FICTION Some time ago I promised the suffering readers of this column a bug's eye view or my life, t Now, of course that bug was a mosquito and the Inconsiderate animal has been so busy sitting on my . left ear, he refused to stand off and buss -about ; the general view he witnesses from above.. . . Such is my life. . - Taken from' this standpoint, ' I'm getting to -be a pretty lg and pretty tough situation. There for awhi le, - when I m .. a .baby, that mosquito had a fine time. He was content to hate eight - meals a day off me. ' He saw me while I used to have a pretty , little -cat. named "Buella, which was dearer to me- than any dog or plaything.- Buella, who bad White, or yellow stripes all oyer her body,' would - follow me ; around like a dog.. When, I had my first broken arm' (for I have had three) Buella purred to me and just seemed, to comfort me all the time. I know I beat her, out she would run away,,, only to be back, the next moment, expecting to receive twice as much- petting to make up for the beating. . :,. - The next episode which that mosquito might have witnessed happened several' years later. One day It snowed about twenty inches of snow everywhere it could think of, even at Centerville. Ralph Ballinger and I started to build a nice brand new snow house in his back yard. Everything went along fine inside and out, We built a tower and a turret with a fort ail around our snow house,, when along came a rain and melted it down. , ; j Then Ralph and I got into a fuss and we've been fussy ever since. , The next episode (No. 3) was exactly five years ago I got into: a fight with Jimmie Ayers. Jim always did pick on me. So, one night my mother sent me to the grocery after some things, chiefly eggs. Now Jim met me outside of the grocery and -hit me right; where I had those eggs. . - Now, I wasn't going to have my eggs busted, so I laid my things carefully up on - the- -couiter' and went to him. . . . -Well, I wouldn't be teHing you about the -fight if I hadn't licked him. f . -,, ' . ; - ..: vt - The nutt episode that mosquito witnessed was the organisation of "Bayonet Boys." Earl Ballinger and Harold - Ritcbey did all . the ork, while I walked Jin and -was

appointed leader ;nl inspector. The officers ran like this: Earl Ballinger, Commander- inchief. Henry McFarlow, Leader and Inperado. Harold Ritchey, Assistant leader. Some of the rest of the army were: Company A Elmer Bescher, captain; Joe Kuth, Chip Kuth, Joe Deen, Job Dean, etc. etc. Our nrst fight was with Bob Davis' gang. Mr. Ballinger, commander-in-chief, sicked our mascot, "Chip Kuth" on Davis, their Commander-in-chief and long before the rest got interested, Mr. Davis was set to flight. Licking Bob busted up the Bayonet Boys, though. But let us pass over a few years and we find Mr. Mosquito quite off the battle field in my little life. I now play a bass viol and poor mosquito as he buzzs up to my back door and hears those enticing, sonorous noises, becomes deseprado. . ' - As I said before, Mr. Mosquito thinks Lam getting very tough, for at present he hardly gets one good meal a day. v - I might also say that I have earned the reputation of being the laziest good-for-nothingest boy in the world around home. And so I lead my poor mosquitos a merry life. But I am hoping that some day I shall be fortunate enough to roll over on him while he is gracefully sucking on my left ear, and then, as all sweet little fairies do, I, too, shall live happily ever after. 01' King Cole Was a merry ol' sole And a merry oi sole was he, As he stood by his gate And rubbed his bald pate, And welcomed my friend an' me. Sez he to my friend Striving not to offend, "I see you are weary today. Come into my house And partake of some grouse That will make you happy and gay."

Or; King Cole Acted out a grand role As he spread out his table, to dine, Sez he to my friend When we come to the end As he pushed his chair over . by mine, . - "Now my dear little man Tell me If you can Jast how do you spend all your time?" : My friend glanced at me, And -drinking more tea, : . . Started out with a tone most sub"I'm a tramp," sez he ' As he drank some more, tea, "I wonder from town unto town, I rarely do work , That's the thing that I shirk, For I'd rathpr aro travllinc iirAnn' " King Cole stopped my friend Before, he could end, You're wasting, your life," he be- ?. gan, .' .'I;,.,. . .

And live here with me And work for . me-on this estate 111 promise you life As free from mad strife As the. fire that burns here in my grate." . Thought my friend suddenly, "This thing never could be, To work never should be my lot" He considered it long - But decided it wrong , - And heartilly wished he wuz shot He turned to the King And said the same thing . "Sir, I shall not work for you." The King answered him . With a face set and grim ' "What you say not, you shall do. "I am king of this land." Said he, raising his hand, .
