A CHRISTMAS STORY One Christmas morning I got up early because I wanted to see what I had received for Christmas. What do you think 1 found? There was a palr.oC Ice skates, a new suit, a necktie, four good books, and a lot of candy and nuts. I played awhile and then went to Francis Markley's to see his toys. Eugen Kelly came to my house and we went coasting. When we went down the hill the sled turned over and we had a fall. - For dinner we had turkey, pumpkin pies, a nut cake and other good things. In the afternoon I played with my toys and ate candy. I went to bed early, that night, because I had had such a long day Robert Barnheiser, Lewisburg, 0.

BESSIE THE MAID Once upon a time there was a little girl whose name was Bessie. One day her father gave her a pail of milk and told her that she could do as she wished with it. She said that she would go to town and sell the milk, and buy some eggs and raise some little chickens. She went to town with the pail of milk on her head. Before she reached the town she tost her head and down came the milk. So she went home crying. Her father asked her what was the matter, and she said that she had spilled the milk. Raymond Thomas, Warner School. , How Wayne County Began Dear Aunt Molly: I saw a letter In the Junior Palladium of November 24, "How Wayne County Began." The man named. Richard Rue was my greatgreat great grandfather, and I want to tell you that he and George IIolroan were captured by the Indians and held prisoners for several months, and after a time they were set free, good friends.

ONE SUNDAY MORNING One Sunday morning my grandmother, mamma, papa, and some other people and I went to Makanikaburg, Ind. When we got there Sunday school was not yet out. Papa went to Sunday school. The rest of us went visiting. I went to the little girl's house. I always go there when I am in that town. We took a long walk to the west part of town. We found a little kitten. It cried so much that I picked it up. Edith didn't want me to do so, so I put it down and it followed us up a lane. It followed us so far that I picked, it up aud took it home. It was all full of burrs, and I washed it and cleaned it all up. Margaret Misener, Warner School. Please Save Food Money, men at food will win; this war. We have the money from the Liberty Loans, and we have the men. Now we must solve the food problem, which is harder to do. The way to do this is to eat less of certain things, which are beef, white bread, sugar, pork and dairy products. These are the foods that our men and also the allies are needing. Some of the things that are not needed are poultry, vegetables, cereals, rye bread, fruits, mutton and fish. We are not the only people who are saving. The French and the English are saving, too. Curti3 Hayward, Baxter School. A NARROW ESCAPE In the early history of our country there were Indians everywhere. At first, these Indians were friendly to the white people but afterwards they became enmies of the white men. There was an Indian chief by the name of. Big Foot. He was very big and strong and there was a white man by the name of Adam Poe. One day when Poe was out on his travels, he heard some men talking. He crawled very quietly to the edge of a cliff, and he saw two Indians lying about ten feet beneath him. One of them was Big Foot, whom Poe wanted to kill. So he shot Big Foot's partner and in a second, he jumped down on the big Indian. They had a terrible fight They fought for several minutes, first one bad the advantage then the other. They fought until they both fell into a river. Adam Poe held the Indian under the water till the Indian was dead. By Ivan Druley, 6th grade, District No. Boston Twp.

Little Mary's Christmas It was during Christmas time and Mary's aunt, with whom she lived, was too poor to buy her anything, and was often very cruel to her. The night before Christmas came and it looked as though Mary was not going to get anything for Christmas. But that night, after Mary had gone to bed, a faint knock was heard at the door. The aunt opened it and in stepped a tall stately man. A heerrul . "Good evening" was heard. The man said, "Here, s a present for Miss Mary Bontx." - : Christmas morning Mary opened the package. Inside was a nice woolen eweater, a pair of mittens and a woolen cap, Mary was the happiest child in the village of Danville. Charles Antle. FOOT STOVES . The Filgrims' church was made of logs, with large cracks between them, which made it very cold. The services . were , three or. four hours long. All the heat they had in their church was from the small foot stoves which they carried with them. They looked like little boxes. Our teacher brought one of these stoves. The wooden frame was nine inches long, eight inches wide and six and one-half Inches high. Inside of this frame were sheets of tin- which formed the stove. Each sheet contained a number of holes which formed a circle. One side had a door opened backhand showed a small pan' which held the coals. This little pan of coals was the only heat A handle was on the top. Beatrice Owens, 4B Grade, Sevastopol School, age 8 years.

A Month Before Xmas T'was a month before Xmas when Santa came in, with a patch where his Jolly left eye once had been. With one arm in a bandage it was Bore to the touch, and he was limping dejectedly on a crutch. He said I was looking about as I do to g3t hints on my route e'er the night I go thru; when I halted a moment to look at a fight, which I wanted to stop, that you know was my right. There were bankers and brokers and bluffers galore, miners and drivers and dealers and more. -They hit and they bit, and thay pounded and Blamed until the street where I stood was remarkable jamed. They ran over me and they stepped on my toes. Someone was careless and hammered my nose, another rash person biffed me on my ear. I begged them to stop but not one of thera would hear. They walked on my form and they jumped on my face, they bumped me and dumped me all over the place. At last they were thru and they rose, from the dirt and held council to see how each other were hurt They didn't see me and never inquired if I suffered when promile and resteled and mired. So you see how it Is I'm all in a twist and nobody knows what Information I've missed. I'm afraid that next month when 'Im rushing about there'll be some that will be almost wholly left out. Besides when someone danced light on my ear I was robbed of the cash to buy feed for my deer. I'm sick and I'm sorry for the poor tots that will think I've forgot HELEN TAYLOR, 6 A Grade, Milton.

SAVING FOOD What we are all trying to do is to save food. There has been pledge cards sent out to be signed. They have people to sign these cards 60 they will think more about saving food. When you sign a pledge card you are given a card to hang In your window. This card shows that you ara a member of the food administration. At school the teacher pasted a paper on the wall. On the top line of the paper it says, I promise not to spend over five cents a week for candy until the Christmas holidays. I think every girl in our room signed it. The teacher said we would all want candy at Christmas time. I don't know whether we can have much candy this Christmas as they haven't hardly , any sugar in the city now. If they don't get some the candy stores will have to close Ethel Tillman. DOING OUR BIT We want to help win the war. The way we can help win this war is. by . saving foods so we can feed our Allies. - The products they need are beef, pork, wheat, sugar and dairy products. We can easily save these foods by eating more of different foods which are more plentiful and that we can not send away. I am going to try harder to save foods. Another way we can help is by not putting food on our plates that we do not want. There Is one more way we can help and that way is by buying Liberty Bonds. When we buy Liberty Bonds the money is taken to help win the war. Dorothy Caine, 5B Grade, Baxter School. The World's War The girls and boys of the sixth grade at Baxter school are studying the world war. Most of the students like it very much. I think it is very nice.- When we have this study we know what caused the war, and why the United States entered the world's war. Bertha White, Baxter school.

A CHRISTMAS STORY Old Santa is coming from the North Pole and will bring toys tor the boys and girls. He came on the 26th of December. He comes from a very cold country. He comes every year and always brings something for all the good boys and girls. - I should think that his reindeer would be tired but he is a kind old man and doesn't drive them Cast I wonder if his wife will make him a new suit this year because his old one must be all fall of soot and dirt Santa Claus is a good old man because he makes all the boys and girls happy.
