t Their Real Thanksgiving Once upon a time there lived a happy mother and father with six children. The father was called away one night. It was the day before Thanksgiving. The father said "I will come back a year from tomorrow." It made the family very sad. The next day they tried to make theirselves happy, but in vain. : One month went by. The children went to the bank to draw out money from the bank account of their father's. When they got there they found that their money was all. gone. They hurried home to their mother. They told her their Bad news. The winter was coming on, they had no coal, no coats for they bad out-grown those of the year before..

The winter came on. They had to eell their home to get food. Their home was cold and bare. The children had no shoes nor money to buy books for school. . Johnny was the name of the oldest boy in the family and Vera, the oldest girl.They got ap early the morning before Thanksgiving and bought some bread, butter and ' potatoes. They thought that was a fine Thanksgiving dinner to prepare for their father. They cleaned np the house and raked the yard, and made a red hot fire. They waited for, their father, bat he did not come. They stayed np till twelve o'clock waiting for his return. They went to bed very unhappy. When they' went to sleep they- had tears in their eyea and running down , their cheeks. The girt was twelve years of age and the boy was ten years Of age. .The girl said "Mamma I will work in the printing office folding papers and Johnny can Btack them," They went, to the printing office and got the position just la time, for there was another boy and girl in Just after they got out. They worked hard and at the end of the week they had enough money to buy a ton of coal and some left to buy groceries. And so the weeks and months passed by.They were very anxious for Thanksgiving to come. The next year came. . The girl and boy had struggled bravely to keep the family up. They had provided the cellar with food for the coming year. The next Thanksgiving came and went as before. The next year came and went, and the next and the next And so it went on for fifteen years. The children grew. They had money enough to buy a home. But they said, "We will never hare Thanksgiving dinner until father comes home." On the sixteenth Thanksgiving morning, what should they see but some One clothes. On the table lay a Urge turkey roasted whole. There was a maid for each member in the family and beat of all there stood their fattier. Theyasked him how he came. He said, "I have found a gold mine. I am going to take you and your mother, sisters and brothers, to Alaska with me next month. I have- bought a large bouse." The children danced for Joy. They had a real Thanksgiving din aer at last K'oifl Vawcnren.

Query Corner

The 'editor will try to answer questions readers of tho Juuior submit.. to her. She will not promise, to answer fill of thenv The questions will be answered in rotation,; bo do not expect the answer to bo printed iu the same week in which you send it in. ;

Dear Aunt Molly: Why dp we eat pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving? Florence Kourt. . Dear Florence: Because it is so much fun to pretend that we are Just a little bit old fashioned that, whether we have ideal old country homes to visit with a dear little grandmother opening the " big white front door to welcome us, or whether we have to eat our small piece of turkey In a busy restaurant, still we all love to flavor our Thanksgiving dinner with a bit of old-fashioned colonial, sauce, and so we follow tho old custom of eating pumpkin pie, just plain old pumpkin pie, with the best of relish. Ed. ; -J -;. Dear Aunt Molly: Why do girls nnwrier? Eva Foster, ace twelve.

i Dear Eva) 1 The reason !irls

should powaer is to aosoro me excessive oil and grease from the skin, but from the way girls do nnwdM' one would think, they

either wre trying .to absorb the

Stanaara uii company or ise mey were inventing, a. new downy covering for the epidermis, which was etiAmntpp.ri tA coniletelV hide the

original with; a; beautifully blended white-nosed, t rosy-cheeked complectlon. Ed. .

nMr Aunt ' Mollv :. Why are

some teachers so'much more kind

than others? Your friend, Mary

Jane Eisaman. .

npar Marv Jane: It must be be

cause they have so much nicer classes than others. Ed! ,

Dear Aunt Molly: Why do some

bull dogs have flat noses? Dorothy Brindel, 7A Grade, Columbia City. Dear Dorothy: Having flat noses makes the shape of a' bull dog's mouth such that they can have the grip with their teeth that they are se noted for. A dog with a long pointed nose has to fight by taking short quick .bites, while a bull takes one long bite. But the only reason I know of why a bull dog has a flat nose is that it just grew that way. Ed. Dear Aunt Molly: Why is it that I can . play a piece on the piano when I am at home, but when it conies to playing a piece before my music teacher, I make all kinds of mistakes. Grace Simcoke, GarHeld Junior High School. : Dear Grace: For one thing, when you play things at home you don't notice the mistakes you make as much as you do when you are at your teacher's. , Very seldom can you sit down and play the music perfectly the first time yon start '" practicing, and yet this Is what you expect yourself to do at the teacher's. And tor another thing, it does mane quite a difference having another piano, a different bench and someone else critcising you. Ed. Dear Aunt Molly: Why don't boys wear hair ribbons? Belle Hively, 7B Grade, Columbia City. Dear Belle: !??(&")? Ed.

He was put in prison and if he is still living he is in that prison and has not been moved from the celt. Roscoe Klrkman. Junior, CR Grade, Baxter School.

GKEENSF0KK!. ; SCHOOL NOTES The percentage of Attendance .la the seventh and eighth grade for the third month will; probably: be lower than any of this, year or last, owing to the fact that! a number of boys ore husking corn since farm labor is so scarce in this community. ; ; Raymond Wise has' been 'on the sick list for the past few days. ..The members of tho seventh grade pleasantly surprised one of then members, Miss Thelma Stack-

houee, one evening last week.

Grimes and musio furnished the amusements for the evening. The children of tho . primary room are. saving tinfoil, papers and rags to sell for the benefit of the Army Relief Fund. -- The visit made this week by several mothers and big sisters of the children pleased both children and teachers. We hope more of the parents will visit us soon. Elizabeth Underbill has returned

Wheu they can see with .one; If I just had two mouths instead, I think I'd have more With one eye any one can see Most anything in side But one mouth hardly satisfies THANKSGIVINGS APPETITE.

HOYS HAVE RED CROSS BASKETBALL TEAM The boys 01 our town have or ganized a basket ball team and they call it the Red Cross. The money that is made clear goes to the Red Cross.

Coble, Columbia City, Ind.
