WHY THE RABBIT BRINGS THE EGGS Spring came and all the flowers and the animals were in the forest, but -the little earth children had not ventured as far as the forest n UJ lue uee saiu, wunuf r i J A A : JM J why the children . don't ceme ana i pick the flowers." - 1 . The flowers said, "They . don't know that it is spring." The tree said, "That i so. Let us make, some - baskets and fill them with eggs and flowers and take them to the children. "They an agreed, to do this and made little baskets of twigs and lined them with grass. The birds filled them with little speckled eggs and then the baskets were ready for the children. They asked the bear if he would take them to the chil- . dren, but he told them that he was too fierce and would scare the children. They then asked the fox, but he was afraid that the people would think that he was going to steal their chickens. So at last they asked the little rabbit, and he told them that the dogs would chase him, but the tree told him that he could take them at night when the dogs would not see him. At last he said that he would go. The rabbit went into the town and left a basket at every house and it wasn't long until he had his baskets all distributed and had gone back to the forest. The next morning the children found the baskets and were very happy over the eggs and the flowers and in the afternoon they went out in tbe woods and gathered flowers, Floyd Gardner, Baxter School. WHY YOU SHOULD BUY THRIFT STAMPS. Boys and girls, in order to win this war -the government needs money to buy food, guns, and uniform. You are too little to fight, but you can help- win the war by buying Thrift Stamps. Surely you know what - Thrift Stamps are? They are green stamps. They cost twenty-five cents a piece. When yon get sixteen Thrift Stamps you can exchange them with a few more cents for a War Savings Stamp, which wil be worth five dolars in 1923. Maybe you will say, "Oh, I never can get twenty-five cents." You can by saving every penny or nlckle you get If you would stop and think how the French children are suffering you would not want to buy candy; so start, today ana save every piece of money you get and buy Thrift Stamps.

THE

PRINCESS BERNONA Once there lived a queen who had eveiything that money could buy, but she was very sad. The queen's name was Elizabeth. She had four children, three boys and a Bill. The boys names were Clyde, Herman and Dwight. The girl's name was Bernona. One day Bernona was lost and the queen sent people out to look for her and promised that who-so-ever found her should have her band in marriage. Many youna; men tried and failed so at last queen sent her eldest son out to look for his sister. Clyde went to the wisest old woman in the country and asked if she knew where his sister was, but he never returned. In a few days Queen Elizabeth sent her second son out to try his luck, but he, tod, failed to return. In a few days the youngest son, Dwight wanted to search for his sister. He coaxed his mother very hard and at last she gave her consent Dwight went to the wise old woman and asked her where his sister waa and she told him two things to remember and they were, (1) not to drink or eat anything until he returned and (2) not to let anyone speak to him and if they did he was to cut off their heads. She also gave him a sword and told him that his sister was in the great round tower. After getting this information Dwight went on his way. After he had gone a great number of miles he met a man who was driving a team of horses what had eyes of Are. He asked the man where the round tower was located and the man told him that he did not know, but that if he (Dwight) would ask the man who kept the cows he would find where the rotind tower was.

Dwight again pulled out his sword and cut the man's head off. After leaving the roan who had the cows, Dwight found the old woman who had the hens. He asked her if she knew where the round tower was located and she told him to go to a certain hill and on the top of it he wouW see the round tower. She also told him that if he would walk around it three times the door would open and he could enter. Remembering , - wlc,rt n,mn w ! cut off the head of the woman with the hens. - Dwight went to the tower and when the door came open he saw his sister rfnd ran to greet her. Bernona was very glad to see him, but said, "Kind Dwight it will be a sorry day for you if the king of the elves catches you here." Presently the king came in and said, Fe-fl-fl-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman." Then Dwight and the king began fighting and finally the king gave up, and said that Dwight could take his sister and brothers and go home. Then the Princess Bernona and her brothers went home to the Queen Elizabeth, and they lived happy ever after. Lenora Gruber, Hagerstown, Indiana. GEMILA. Gemila is a little Arab girl. ...

RICHMOND PALLADIUM, APRIL 6,

THE WAR GARDENER'S DILEMMA

: 'W'

Every home should have a war garden and a flock ot chickens. If chickens and garden get mixed to the detriment of the garden, be patient. The U. S. Food Administration has issued regulations to poultry dealers- stopping the dealing in freshly killed or live hens. All of the nation's hens are needed in these times of war, as layers. The national stock of eggs must be increased. In the matter of war gardens, remember that Germany would probably have collapsed during the years of 1917 and 1917 had it not been for the enormous crops raised in war gardens that supplemented the farm crops. In America the need of war gardens is imperative. Plant non-perishables as far as possible. Beans, onions and potatoes will keep for winter use.

How I Earned My Money for Thrift Stamps In the winter when it was so cold we didn't get our papers. The paper boy would not bring them to us. One day my father said, "Boys how would you like to get a paper route? We said, "All right." So the next morning we got up at five o'clock and went to the paper shanty. We asked the man if we could have the North End route. He said that we could, so the next morning we again arose at five o'clock and went to the shanty. The man had forgotten our book, f" IJ tJI before we could start on our route. Now my brother and I each have a route. I make $2 per week. In March, I bought one war savings stamp end three thrift stamps. Edwin May, 5A grade, Warner School. RIDDLES. Why are people like carriage wheels? Because they are tired.

In the upper lefthand corner is a blue field with forty-eight states now in the nnion. stripes represent the first' thirteen colonies, the stars represent the forty-eight states, noy in the union The flag should not be raised before sunrice, and should be lowered at sunset When the country is at war it may be kept flying all night When the flag passes in the parade the spectator, If walking, should halt If sitting should rise and lift his bat Betsy Ross made the first flag.

MY EASTER When I was 6 years old (it was the day before Easter) my mother left me at home with my brothers while she went up town to buy my Easter things. The next morning when I came down stairs I was very happy because the stand was covered with grass and on it was a litte house made of candy and shaped like an egg. On the grass there were about 30 yellow and white chickens and a turkey which was being chased in the little candy barn by a little cupid. There was also a basket with a mother rabbit and two rabbits and on the grass were several more rabbits. I hunted my eggs and found that I had about fifty. Vivian Munger, Baxter School. AN EASTER STORY Once upon a time a little girl whose name was Ruth lived in a hut. Her parents were very poor and Ruth had to work for her mothe to make a living. One mile away lived a grandma and grandpa of a little girl whose name was Margaret. This little girl was rich. But although she was ricb she was kind. When Easter was drawing near, she asked her grandmother if she could have an Easter' party. Her grandmother said, "Yes." She was so delighted that she could hardly wait. Easter finally came and she was to have six boys and six girls at her party. When it was time for them to come Margaret remem bered the little girl who lived one mile away. She ran and told her grandmother that she was going to ride over to get her. When she arrived there, the lit tle girl was helping her mother. Margaret asked her to go home with her to a party. She was much surprised and got ready in a few moments. After they got back they played and tried to see who could And the most Easter eggs. Ruth did and was happy everafter. Mary Hubbard, Baxter SchooL EASTER DAY A few years ago my birthday, April 4, came on Easter. In the morning I went to church and when I came borne we bad a house full of company, and they gave me candy eggs and one gave me a large stick of candy. We spent the afternoon playing games. Nell Logue, 5A grade, Baxter.

MOLLY'S EASTER HEN On Easter morning, Molly rah out into the henhouse before any one else was up. After breakfast she slipped away softly. She carried a covered basket and walked very fast First she went through the green lane that led from their house to the road, and then along the road until she came to her Aunt's house. The lane was all trimmed up with pretty Easter flowers, and the trees were full of birds singing Easter songs. "Auntie Brooke," said Molly, a little out of breath, "I am bringing Red Top, and you may keep her until she lays you an Easter egg, then you can give her back." "I wish Red Top could lay an egg with pink on it and your name in gilt letters," "Thank you, dear," said Auntie Brooke, "I'm sure I shall like it just as well as if it were pink with gold letters on it." Edith Johnson, 4A grade, Baxter School.

How to Color Eggs Easter came on the 31st of March. We could not color eggs because eggs were too high and the coloring might have gone through the shell. We made a tiny hole in both ends and poured the egg out into a dish, then colored the shell That didn't spoil tha egg. Good American boys and girls did not color eggs this year, nor bought candy eggs, but bought Thrift Stamps. Robert Gault, age 10, 212 N. West Third street, Richmond, Ind., Baxter School, 6B.
