Harold and his little friend George, came running in from school They were in a great hurry such a great hurry that Harold did not take time to go in search of mother; but stood on the porch and cauea: , ' "Mother may I go over to George's and play awhile?" 1 "Yea, dear," came the answer In what sounded like mother's voice, "you may stay one hour." Away scampered the little boys. racing to see which could beat to ueorge's home.' Harold came home promptly at me ena or tne nour. He ran into the room where mother sat. his eyes shining like stars. "Oh, mother." he said, "we're lust had the most fan, George and I! We played" , There was something In mother's face that made him stop. Somehow her smile was not so bright as usual. "Where have you been. son?" she asked. Harold looked surprised. "Why, over to George's, mother.'1 he answered. Mother drew her little boy to her knee. "You should not go away dear, without telling mother," she said gravely. Harold's eyes were bigger than ever with surprise. ; "Why mother, I did ask you and you said I could go!" VHow can that be " began mother, but just then a voice came from the back porch, and this Is what it said: "Yes, dear, you may stay an hour." They both laughed and some body else laughed too. . "Ha! ha! ha! That was a good jofce!" cried Polly Parrot "Polly is getting altogether too Bmart," said mother, as she kissed Harold. Then she added: "The next time my little boy wants to go away to play he must be sure it is mother who answers." H. I. H., age 12, Webster School. A FAVORITE This Is a piece of poetry we had on the board. I liked it so much I thought I would send it to the Junior Palladium. Kenton Kimm, 4A Hibberd School. For your country, boy and for mat nag never dream a dream, but of serving her as she bids you though the service carry you through a thousand hells. No matter what happens to you, never look at another flag, never let a night pass but that you pray God to bless that flag. Remember boy, that behind all these men you have to deal with, behind officers and government and people even, there is the country herself, your country and that you belong to her as you belong to your mother. Stand, by her boy as you would stand by your mother Edward Everett Hale. RABBIT HOPS FAST Once I saw a rabbit and he hopped so fast I could hardly see him.

Children Saving Candy Wear Special Flags "No Candy Till Christmas" is the patriotic motto which id printed on little flags and worn by all tho boys and girls in Columbia City who are doing their bit to save sugar. These school children have started a campaign to help our soldiers and our allies by saving candy so that the sugar which would be used in it can be sent to them. All the children who have signed the pledge to do this, are given these flags marked "No Canry Till Christmas" which they proudly wear, The boys and girts are so anxious for this movement to spread that they have sent over a "news letter" to be published in the Junior: The letter follows: Mr. Whitelcalher of the Home Defense Board asked the children not to eat any candy until Xraas, so that we might be able to send sugar over to the allies. Most all of the children agreed to do this and are wearing the flag which says, No Candy Till Xmas. We wish every boy and girl would stop eating candy until Christmas, Lavon Tfc'OPon, (!B grade Columbia City, Ind. RIDDLES 1. I am round. I am orange. In the ground.

George Hayward, 3A Joseph Moore school. (Answers next week.) THE PRINCESS' ESCAPE Once as I was walking in the woods a little bird hopped right in my hand and said, "Come along with me." So I went a little piece in the woods until we tame to an old oak tree. He tappoa on the tree three times and a little door flew open and a little girl appeared and they said for mo to come in. And so I went in and the littlehird went away. And the little girl shov.ed me all the rooms and there were fifty rooms, and thoy wore furnished nicely. They were rooms with diamonds and pearls and rubies and jewelry of silver and gold. And they told me to taka all I could hold, m after they filled all my apron pockots full of things they took me into the dining room, and they had a table full of everything to eat. So I ate until I could not eat any more and then I went home and told my mother and she would not believe me. Yours affectionately, Aline Milligan. WHEN WINTER COMES When winter comes And leaves are covered with snow The birds have no more crumbs. They crowd around the kitchen door And wish that ppring was hero once more. Audrey Newman, Starr School. - FALL ; ' Merry fall, Happy fall, I think it's the befit time of all. ' When nuts are ripe and apples red And at night you're glad for your warm bed; When all the world is sweet and bright And everything is just as nice As it could ever be; Oh fall's the time for me!
