Dear Junior Folks: Did you ever stop to ask yourselves why you go to school? Did you, Junior Folks? Of course you go to school to learn a certain amount of English, Music, Art, Sciience, Mathematics, etc. It is well for you to know all of these things but Junior Folks there are other things that you learn in school that are just as" useful to you. One of these things is the Art of learning to LISTEN. Juniors, If you would listen to what the teacher says and then remember it. why hen Junior Folks, you would'nt be made to hear the same things over and over. Folks when you get out of school and start fighting your own battles with the world you will have to listen to other peoples' opinions or else Juniors, how are you going to climb to the top of that ladder of fame that we all wish to climb? I heard of a traveling salesman who said that he had made most of his eales by just listening to other people. You see he would just listen to their complaints about their health and business and of course he would be very sympathetic, then the first thing they knew this salesman had sold them his goods. So Juniors, when you think that It doesn't pay to listen just think of the salesman who made all his sales by listening. AUNT MOLLY. MINA AND HER CAT Mina is the name of a little Holland girl.

One little pea dropped and the monkey tried to pick it up and in doing so dropped twenty peas. He tried to pick up the peas and spilled them all. He then lost his temper and scattered the peas in all directions and ran away. Harvey Cook, Starr School, 4 A grade. SKATE-SAILING IS

OLD MAIDS' CORNER

The Old Maids' Corner; Their Latest Gossip Of course you all want to know about everybody else's Xmas presents and as there was no Corner last week we'll tell you all about it this week. Aunt Mahltable got the loveliest wrist watch. It's all gold too, face and all. Aunt Matilida received her box of candy alright. A big box of chocolates. Liza Jane got a ring for Xmas, but we can't find out who gave it to her. Beachy Eggemeyerjsaid that she got a new apron so we suppose she'll be wielding the broom. Thomas Shoemaker got a new blue sweater trimmed in white. Carl Watson got a necktie and all the girl want It for a middy tie. Lucile Jones got a box of candy. Norman Hoeffer didn't want his name in the corner so he wouldn't tell what he got. The old maids have been enjoying themselves very much by reading the diary of one of their kind. The title of the book is Karan Kringles's Diary. The three old maids and one of their friends attended Bab's Matinee Idol. While attending they enjoyed a very nice little lunch which consisted of one chicken leg. Poor Sissy, we guess he doesn't get enough to eat, as he says that women eat too much. We know very well that wo don't eat it all. Don't we girls? Thomas Seuhmaker is a very daring little lad. He took his coat and hat off the other day when it was about ten below zero and walked up and down Main street, just simply because Uncle Dud dared him. A hero wasn't he? Bob Hornaday Is displaying a splendid new wrist watch. How I Can Save Food I can save by eating more of things that the soldiers cannot get. There are large amounts of vegetables raised in our country. Vre cannot ship the vegetables on account of them spoiling. Vegetables are very nourishing. As long as we can get the vegetables I can save by eating them. When I take something on my plate I can save by eating all of it. I can save by eating less candy. Candy Is good for us, but we should not eat too much of it We should stir the sugar through the coffee instead of letting It go to the bottom Harriett C. Hunt, Baxter School 6B. A LIVELY SPORT

The sinking of an enemy ship in the harbor of Dar-es-salaam in German East Africa Is another British victory in the fighting for the possession of the kaiser's last colony. Splendid work has been done by tho British and Belgians assisted by native troops in the fighting in German East Africa, which is now clear of German troops. The British and their allies have been forced to contend with almost insurmountable difficulties of climate and transport.

THE FLAG GOES BY Hats off, Along the strt-et there comes A blare of bugles a ruffle of drums, A flash of color beneath the sky. Hats off. The flag is passing by Blue and crimson and white it shines Over the steel tipped ordered lines. Hats off, The colors before us fly But more than the flag i3 passing Sea fights and land fights grim and great Fought to make and save the State, Weary marches and sinking ships Cheers of victory on dying lips. Days of plenty and years of peace March of a strong lands swift increase Equal justice right and law Stately honor and reverent awe Sign of a nation great and strong To guard her people from foreign wrong Pride and glory and honor All live in the colors to stand or fall. Hats off. Along the 6treet there comes A blare of bugles a ruffle of drums And loyal hearts are beating high. Hats off, The flags are passing by. Copied by Floyd Gardener who is only 8 years old. HOW I CAN SAVE I am not going to eat very much candy, for if I do it will make the Allies and our soldiers do without more sugar, because the candy contains so much sugar. I can eat corn bread and other kinds of bread that do not contain wheat or flour. If we all do this and do not eat so much white bread it will save a great deal. The white bread is made of wheat, or flour, which is made from wheat If we use less wheat or white bread we can have more wheat to send to the Allies. I can steam the stale bread and make it good. I must. not eat so much meat and at least do without meat ' one day, a week. We can eat many other kinds of food that will take the place of meat.' I should eat these on the meatless days. I must eat more vegetables Edith Driver, 6A .: grade, Baxter School, age 10 years. Friendship always benefits while lore often" injures.

How You Can Help Win War When you sit down at the table to eat, do not take out a big plate of things and cat two or three mouthsful and leave the rest on your plate to be thrown out. Take out a spoonful at a tune, eat that and if you want more take another spoonful. Learn to eat tilings that you do not like. When you have pie eat crust and all, and eat everything you have taken out. Do not leave a crumb. When you go to buy candy think of the French people that haven't any sugar and something will tell you not to buy any. You will turn around and say to yourself. "I won't buy candy, I will save my money." I know we all like candy. I do myself, but I very seldom buy any. I used to leave large pieces of meat and butter on my plate, but now I have learned better. If you want to help win this war please do not waste things that you can eat. Bertha C. White, A Grade, Baxter School. The Guide I know not where my path shall He, By waters still, or on the cry Of human need comes loud and clear From out the mire, it may be here Not there, my path shall be Nor would I choose a destiny Unhallowed by His will for me But this I know my Lord Is Guide And love and joy and peace abide As unto Him my life I yield That through my weakness lie may wield His strength to lift His power to free His love in tender sympathy And be Himself my Victory.

HOW I CAN II ELI WIN THE WAR The allies of this great war have to be fed. It is laid upon the hands of the young folks as well as the old. The allies will starve if we do not help and besides some of the allies are our men. We can easily help by saving. We can save the sugar because they need it in France. We can eat cornbread and send the wheat to them. They don't raise as much as they did because the ground Is all broken up and is most all waste land. Another reason Is because the skilled fanners of France are dead or on the firing line. We can save our sugar by not eating pie and cake. We waste money if we buy candy. We ought to buy Liberty bonds. This year we did not raise so much and that means we must work all the more. We should eat hoaity but should save when we are eating. Some people leave great platesful of food when they should be saving. We Americans are wasteful people. Our small Friends in France do not get half what we get. They get only two meals a day. After they get their second meal they are sent to bed because If they play it will make them hungry Albert Benn.

MOUNTAINS Some mountains have long gentle slopes and others are steep and have sharpy peaks. Some are so very high that they reach above the clouds. If one were on a train he might be able to see it raining in the valley below and the sun shining up on the peaks. The temperature is not the same on the different mountains. On the low ones it is not so cold as on the high ones. On the high mountains it is so cold that trees can not grow and there is snow all the y?ar on the peaks. We can not climb the mountains with rugged peaks. They are so high that even trains can not climb them. Mountain climbing is very dangerous and difficult. If the path is wet your foot is liable to slip causing you to fall. - Masses of stone and snow may suddenly tome crashing down upon you. Margaret Whitely, Baxter School. The United States Flag The flag has thirteen red and white stripes. In the upper left hand corner is a blue field with forty eight stars representing the states of the union. The stripes represent the first thirteen colonies. The flag should not be raised before sun rise and should be lowered at . sunset. When the country is at war it may be kept flying all night. When the flag passes in a parade the spectator if walking should halt. If he is sitting he should rise and lift his hat. Betsy Ross made the first United States flag. Boy Reads for Aunt Molly. In room number one at Whitewater school there is a little Italian boy who Is from Rome, New York. He is a delightful little chap and while Aunt Molly was down there he read to her. Aunt Molly appreciated that very much and was especially pleased with hfs Italian broque. What I Did Last Xmas Last Xmas I was sick with tho measles. As I was lying in bed a knock came at the door and when it was answered there stood tho neighbors' hired girl with a large box in her hand. I opened the box and found some turkey, candy and lots of other goodies. My father and brother went out and when I asked where they were going they . didn't answer. In a few nrinutes there was another rap at the doOr and in stepped my father; with another large box. My brother followed him and he too, had a large box. I opened the boxes and found carnations and fern leaves in the box father gave, me and in the box brother gave me was a large box of candy. CHILDREN WORK WITH CLAY In the kindergarten room at Whitewater school the children have been making little models out of clay. Many nice things have been made among them being little umbrellas, little tables and chairs. Probably the raost original thing was a Red Cross button which was made by little Dominic! Sons'mi. This was Dominic's own idea, too.
