CTHE STORY OP THE THREE LITTLE PIGS Once upon a time there was an ibid mother pis with three little pigs land as she had not enough to keep Jthem, she sent them out to seek Iheir fortune. The first one leav- , Ing home met a man with a bundle Of straw and said, "Please man give me somo straw to build me a house," which the old man did and ihe little pig built a house with it (Presently a wolf came along and knocked at the door and said, "Lit.tle pig, little pig, let me come in." To which the pig answered, "no, too by the hair of my chiny, chin, chin." The wolf then answered to that, "Then 1 11 huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down." So he huffed and he puffed and he blew the house down and ate up the little pig. The second little pig met a man with a bundle of furze, and said,

"Please man give me that furze to build a house," which the man did and the little pig built his house. !frhen along came the wolf and said, "Little pig, little pig, let me come In." "No, no by the hair of my chiny, clan, chin. "Then I'll puff and I'll huff and 1 11 blow your house in." So he huffed and he puffed and he puffed and he huffed and at last he blew the house down and ate up the poor little pig. . The third little pig met a man witli a load of bricks and said, "Please, man, give me those bricks to build a house with." So th man gave him the bricks to build a house with. So the wolf came as he did to the other little pigs and said, "Little pig, little pig, let me come in." "No, no by the hair of my chiny, chin, chin." "Then I'll huff and I'll puff and IH blow your house in." Well he huffed and he puffed and lie puffed and he huffed and he .huffed and he puffed but he could not blow the house down. WJien he found that he could not by huffing and puffing, he said, "Little pig, little pig, I know where there is a nice field of turnips." "Where?" cried the little pig. "Oh, in Mrs. Smith's homefield and if you will be ready tomorrow morning I will call for you, and we will go together and get some for dinner." "Very well," said the little pig EXCHANGE COLUMN Open to All Boys and Girls. These Adt Cost You Nothing; Send In Your "Wants" to The Palladium Junior.

The Temple of Heaven, Peking, where 3,000 of the Chinese monarchist troops of General Chang Hsun surrendered to the victorious Republican forces. General Chang Hsun endeavored to replace a Manchu Emperor on the throne of the Celestial Republic. Republican forces invested Kekin, the forbidden city, and soon put the monarchists to flight and forced General Chang Hsun to take refuge in the Dutch Legation.

I will be ready. "What time do you mean to go?" "Oh, at six o'clock." Well, the little pig got up at five and got the turnips before the wolf came along (which he did about six) and he said, "Little pig, are you ready?" The little pig said, "Ready, I have been and back and got a nice potful for dinner." The wolf felt very angry at this, but thought that he would be up to the little pig somehow or other, so he said, "Little pig I know where there is a nice apple tree." (Continued next week.) Scout Masters Needed The use by the Government of the Boy Scouts of America in so many ways has made service in that organization to be in point of honor on a par with more- active military duty in foreign fields. There are many who cannot go with the more warlike arm of the service and to them falls the equally honorable task of making it possible for Uncle Sam to keep the fighters to the front. The officials of the Boy Scouts of America are convinced that never in the history of the organization has there been the opportunity now presented for men to aid in its work. Thousands of men who are unable to go to war can best serve their .country, the scout officials contend by training boys to be useful in many practical ways. Thousands of men have applied for this work and thousands more are needed. , The regular program of the Boy Scouts of America calls for active leadership on the part of wideawake public spirited men. The activities of the scouts are so many and so fascinating in their variety that the work quickly takes a grip upon the manly type of citizen. ANOTHER GOOD STORY A story, "Turning The Grindstone" was sent into the office and signed H. I. H. age 12 years. It is such a good story that I would like so much to meet the person who wrote it and I am wondering if they wouldn't come to the office some day. this week and tell me who they . are. Of course it will just be our secret and we won't say a word about it to any one. The thought in the story is splendid and I am anxious that all the girls and boys read it

Republicans

THE BOY SCOUTS The Boy Scouts of America performed a notable service to the country in their campaign for the sale of the Liberty Loan Bonds. Through their efforts more than $25,000,000 of the bonds were sold directly How many sales were due indirectly to their activity cannot be known. The Boy Scouts worked systematically and thoroughly and with an earnestness that was inspiring. They covered fields that could not have been well covered by other agencies and effected sales that would not have been made without theiivefforts. . The Scouts have not only proven their patriotism. They have 6hown their efficiency and their civic value. (From the U. S. Treasury Department's Liberty Loan Publicity Bureau Press Bulletin printed by the Government Printing office. SOME PUZZLE QUESTIONS Try to answer these puzzle questions children which Dora Macy, age 9 years has sent in to be published. The correct answers will appear in the next edition of the Junior. 1. Four hookers, four. stiff standers, four down hangers and a switch? 2. What gets longer when you cut both ends? 3. Big at the bottom, little at the top. Little thing in the middle that goes flippety flop. . 4. What kind of trees do you find in woods? 5. What kind of stones do you find in a creek? THE BOY AND A STONE A boy's father once showed him a stone and said, "there is some gold in this stone, and if some one would smelt it they would get the gold out The little boy came back smelledJ" after awhile and said I 'smelled and smelled' it father but I did not get the gold." Dora Macy, age 9 years. KNOWS A GOOD REASON Grace Simcoke says she thinks she knows why stories beginning, "Once Upon A Time," are always so interesting. Grace says it's because they sound like fairy stories and everyone likes to hear a real interesting fairy story. Her reason may be better than the one I thought of for the Junior last week. Anyway I am glad Grace read my story.

A BIG FRIEND

OF THE JUNIOR Here Is a most interesting letter from a "big friend", of the Junior and I am going to print it so you may read it and enjoy it with me: Richmond, Ind., July 16. 1917. ' r. n. o. Dear Aunt Betty May I write to that dear little Junior paper too? I am not a little girl but I must confess I am interested In it I am sure our Dear Aunt Molly must be having a fine time and will 6oon be well again. We certainly will be glad to see her back although we hate to see you go from us and maybe you won't. I wonder what has become of the Girls' Government League? Why couldn't we girls start it up again and have it going full blast when Aunt Molly comes back. I want to tell you what a fine trip ' I had Sunday. We motored to Brookville. The most beautiful place in Indiana I think. I wish all the girls and boys might see the big hills and valleys. Down there the Whitewater river is almost three times as large as it is here. It is an ideal place to camp. It reminded me of the. foothills of the Rocky mountains. One hill looked just exactly like "Old Boldy," a mountain I expect all of you have read about. Of course, "Old Baldy" is larger and covered with snow. , I must close now as this Is already too long. A Big Friend "Dot" Well girls, I think "Dot" haB a great idea about the Girls' Govern ment League and right now is the time to get busy before Aunt Molly returns. - : . Frances and John's Visit to Helen and Paul (By Grace Simcoke".) When Frances and John arrived at Helen's and Paul's It was late in the evening. They all ate a hearty supper, talked awhile and then went to bed. The next day Helen and Paul's father was going to thresh. So early in the morning the threshers came bringing their wives along to help get the dinner. " The children were out in the field all day watching the men at work. Once in awhile one of the children would get chaff in their eyes and one of the men would stop threshing and come and take the chaff out of their eyes. When dinner time came, "oh, you good things to eat. There were so many men they could not all sit at one table and they had to take turns. The wives and the children, poor folks, had to eat what was left but there was plenty for all. When dinner was over the men went back to the field and the women had to wash the dishes. That wasn't very much fun to do all those dishes. Well that night the children slept like logs. That means they slept good all night. Well the next day they all went camping. They, went to the woods, called "The Mounds." There they set up their tent and made a place to build a camp fire. In the evening they all gathered around the campfire and 6oon went to bed. i ; The next morning when the children woke up, they were an awful looking sigbt for they looked as if they had the measles. They were just covered with mosquito bites. Well, Helen and Paul's mother rubbed talcum powder on their hands and faces to sooth the itching. About 10 o'clock they went fishing and caught and caught a good many fish. (P. S. Next week Grace will tell about the rest of the comping trip.) BIRD TRADES Tne swallow is a mason And underneath the eaves He builds a nest and plasters it With mud and hay and leaves. Of all the weavers that I know The oriole is the best High on the branches of the tree She hangs her cozy nst. - The woodpecker is hard at work A carpenter is he And you may hear him hammering His nest high up a tree. " Some little birds are miners. Some build upon Uie ground. And busy little tailors, too, . Among the birds are found.

Ml At A ax on it?" His words of flattery made the boy happy. So he told him the grindstone was in the Fhop. Patting-the boy on the head, he said, "My man will you get me a little hot water?" So he ran and got the water. "How old are you and what is your name?" he next asked the hov... Without waiting for the boy to answer he said, "You are a fine little man, the finest boy I have ever seen. Will you just turn the grindstone a few minutes for me?" All these kind words made the boy so happy that he went to work with a will and bitterly did he rue the day. It was a new ax and he toiled until he ' was almost given out. The school bell rang and he could not get away. Finally it was sharpened and the man told his' roughly to be off to school. "You are a truant" he said, "the teachers will be after you." These words made the boy sad. It was hard to turn the grindstone but to be called a truant was too much. His words sank deep into his mind and he thought of them many times. The boy never heard a man flattering any one but he thought of the time he turned the grindstone. Look out for flattery. There are many men In this world who have grindstones to turn. H. I.

Turning tne urinasione Once there was a little boy one cold morning In winter, accosted by a smiling man with an ax on his shoulder. "My pretty boy." said he, "haa your father a grindstone?" "Yea, sir," said the boy. "You are a fine little fellow," said he, "will you let me grind my
