MY KINGDOM A little kingdom I possess, Where thoughts and feelings dwell, And very hard I find the task Of governing it well; For passions tempt and trouble me, And wayward will misleads, And selfishness its shadow casts On all my words and deeds. How can I learn to rule myself To be the child I should Honest and brave, nor ever tire Of trying to be good? How can I keep a sunny soul To shine along life's way; How can I tune my little heart To sweetly sing all day? Raymond Thomas, Warner School. The Eight Princess'es Once there was a king who had eight daughters. He was very sorry that he had no son to take his place when he died. At length a little son was born to him, and he was so delighted that he no longer paid any attention to bis daughters. The little boy grew into a handsome young man, and the people of the kingdom were anxious to see him married, One day as he was walking In the woods he met a pretty girl and he fell in love with her. Not long after this they were married. The prince and his bride did not live very long, and after they were dead the king saw his mistake in neglecting his daughters, and so he divided his kingdom among them, and they all proved to bo kind rulers. The Boy That Could Not Talk In a town where I lived there was a little boy who was 9 years old and had never spoken a word. One day his mother was washing dishes and dropped one. It broke, and , the little boy said, "O, you broke a dish." . When his father came home the mother told him about the little boy. The father then picked up a dish and dropped it so that it would bieak. It broke, and the boy said, "Now there . are two dishes broken." , They' then called the doctor, and he also broke a dish, and the little boy said',' "Now there are three dishes broken, and in three days I shall die." On the third day he died. Ruth Wright... , 1 . Just One Cheerful Word I was standing in a nice warm room by the window, watching the people pass by.' They were all humming merry Christmas songs. The air was . filled with fragrance. I turned around to watch Katie and mother pop corn and make molasses candy. Mother told me to go. to bed and dream sweet dreams, so that I could be happy on Christmas. After I was tucked in the warm bed I fell into a deep sleep. I was no longer Pauline, an American girl, but Odetta, French .war orphan, standing - looking to the sky and asking God for just one cheerful word.. V ' "' I was about to cry, when I awoke and asked mother for half the candy and things to send to Odetta, who was really a French war orphan.. I sent the things to her, and also some things to the soldiers." I had a very lovely Christmas helping other folks. Pauline Managan. " My Money ? In earning my money this last summer I cleaned brick and lath I made $12.65. I was paid 25 cents a hundred for the lath and 20 for the brick. I did 3,500 in four days and 1,900 bricks which gives me 3.80. . I put my money in the bank. It is in the Dickinson Trust bank. John Overdeer, Warner School. THE THREE WISEMEN One night in the city of David a star shone very bright over a manger. In the manger was a baby boy whose name was Jesus. There was a wiseman who lived in Africa and one who lived in Europe and one who lived In Asia. All of the wisemen came to. see the Christ chuld. They gave the Christ child rich gifts. The shepherds came to see the Christ child and .also gave him many things. Rudolph Maule, Joseph Moore school, 4B grade. ;

FOOLING

Above Hollow papier mache horse which, to the enemy, appers just a dead horse. Below Tree climbing costume of a military observer. A dead horse and a clown. One would say those' were the two illustrations. But they're camouflage-rally camouflage. The jokesmiths have toyed with the word so long we've begun to wonder, most of us, whether or not camouflage had any real, serious meaning. It has a very serious njbaning and it has a very importam place in moaern wariare. In the upper photo is shown what to the enemy seems to be the carcass of a horse. Lying out in No Man's Land it would excite no suspicion. But it is of papier mache and is hollowed out. Inside it lies an engineer at his listening post The "clown" in the lower photograph is a military observer, equipped for tree climbing. The colors CHINESE WOMAN DOCTOR The most interesting foreign guest at Washington is said to be Dr. Tamie Kim, one of the first women physicians in China. She makes periodic visits to this country and is a frequent visitor at the Chinese legation, ' Present Day History . For history in the sixth grade at Baxter school we are haying the things that happen now. Today wo discussed why the United States went to war. We cut pictures from newspapers and magazines. I would rather study present day history than the .history which . happened long ago. Harriet Hunt, Baxter School. ..
