Dear Junior Folks: Have you ever heard of 'the first newspaper? You would have had a very hard time reading it because it was ' written in Latin over a thousand years ago. There weren't any stories in it, either, because it merely told of all the political events of the day. It was very dry too. This was in Rome in 585 A. D. They didn't have printing presses, or paper like ours, so they had to have slaves write all the copies on rude pulpy kind of material. That was the first paper we know of and since then peo- , pie have tried writing all kinds of news accounts. Some were "newsletters" which the country people would pay the city people to write and some were, just talks telling what . Mr. Addison or Mr. Steele ihough't about the jouTig i olk3 of ' the time. After all the years the present newspaper has developed. You Juniors don't read the big paper ver much do you ? So that is why we have the Junior. Do you want this paper to be just stories? You can get . lots better stories at the library than we can write here in a few days but Juniors we don't 'want this to be a copy paper. -We want a real NEWSPAPER. Juniors most of you have done very well in writing things for the Junior but there are . some who still insist on copying things from your school readers and Juniors, just .think what kind of a paper we would have if every one did that. We wouldn't have a newspaper ; we would have a copy paper and I'm afraid that you would be rather disappointed in the Junior for this week. Juniors ; there are just lots of things that you can write about so let us not have any more copying. AUNT MOLLY

Cranny Hodapp says that if she were an Old Maid her name would be Aunt Betty Jane Applegate. Aunt Matilda is getting in deep in Literary work. She has written the blagraphies of Edgar Allen Poe, Sir Walter Scott and Washington rving. They are peaches, too! (the biographies, not the men). Lucile Thursman seems to have an abundance of money because she throws her pocketbook around and the money all flies out but Lucile stands and looks at it while Aunt Matilda gets down on her knees and hunts for it. Helen Steinbrink is going to astonish the public one of these fine days by singing in the High school auditorium (not to empty seats, but to the pupils). , Helen Murphy, Neva Showalter and Lucy Eastman went to the Washington Wednesday evening.
My Visit and What I Saw When I was at Columbus. Ohio, visiting my Aunt, we saw a mother squirrel. She had her nest in a
tree, and there were some baby squirrel.? in the nest. One day there were some men trimming trees, they came to the tree where the squirrel and ber babes were. They were trimming the tree and sawed Into the nest, and the old mother squirrel fought the saw. In a short time I saw the old
mother squirrel carrying away her babes in a very peculiar manner. She carried them something like a cat, but the squirrel takes the babes by the stomach instead of the back of the neck. Gazel Hyatt, Columbia City, Ind.

DEWOROPS. Can you put the dewdrops back on the flowers, and make them sparkle and shine? Can you put the petals back on the rose? If you couid, would it smell as sweet? You may think my question tri

THE BOY WHO DID NOT WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL William was a little boy seven years old and lie did not like to go to school. One day his mother said, "William, you are going to school today." "Why?" asked William. "Because it is time to go. Can't you see the children going?" said his mother. "I'm not going. The teacher won't let me talk. I want to stay home and play with the dog and cat." "You are going to school and the teacher won't let you play at all," said his mother. " His father came in with the wood and said, "William there is a boy waiting for you. Hurray up or he will go on." "I'm not going." said William. "Yes, you are," said the father. "Hurry up and get ready," said his mother. ''- So William got ready and went to school. When he got there the teacher said, "Do you like to go to school, William?" "No, I don't. ' May I go home?" answered William. "No, you can't," said the teacher. "May I play at recess?" asked William. "Yes, you may," answered the teacher. When William went out doors he slipped out of the yard and went over to his cousins and stayed until noon and then went home. Harold Ruhl, Starr School.
My Patriotic Doll I have a doll and she is a Red Cross Nurse. She wears a dhite
dress and a white apron. On her head she weais a white cap with a red cross in front. One day my doll said, "I wish 1 could help Uncle Sam some way." I said, "I want you to sail across the ocean to France." At this my doll was very glad to know of some way to help Uncle Sam and her country. She said, "I would sail across it if I had a boat to sail on and some United States soldiers to go along with me." So I got the boat and then helped put her and the soldier on. My doll got across and I never heard of . her after that. But I think she helped her country. -Ger-aldine Markwalden, 6B, 10 ywr3 old, Columbia City, Indiana.
A War Savings Stamp When ever Johnny got a cent he would put it in his bank. One day Johnny picked up his bank and found that it was full. Johnny poured the money out and began to think what he could do with all that money. Just then Robert, a neighbor boy came running into the house. Robert quickly pulled a book out of his pocket. He showed Johnny a big green stamp in the corner of it. Johnny asked what it was. Robert taid, "It is a War Savings Stamp. I bought it for $4.15. In 1923 I will get 5.00 for it. Johnny looked up and asked him where he got it. "I got it at school. The government is. selling them, and my money is helping to winn this war." said Robeft. Johnny pointed to the money on the floor. "That will buy one of those stamps. I am going to do my bit too." Jonathan Shurley, 5A, Starr School.
OUR BOYS One day a soldier "somewhere in France" was told to unload a car of rifles. The soldier saw that if he had ten more men he could unload the car in a shorter time. He asked the captain for the men and the captain said, "It doesn't matter when we get done." The soldier said, "The sooner we get done the sooner we go home." So the soldier was made a captain and the captain was made a private. I know that you want the boys to get back as much as they want to come home. The more Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps you buy the sooner they will get here. Everett Lady, Starr School.
A TEMPTATION A little boy found a nickel right in front of a candy store. He was gaing to spend it, when he thought of the French orphan his school was supporting. I guess I'll give to him. I don't need candy, but he does need food and clothing. We must keep him from suffering." Horton Cowles, 5A, Starr School.
BOY WILL HELP THE SOLDIERS. I will help the soldiers. I have fifty cents for thrift stamps. James Shepp, Starr School.
MARY LEARNS A LESSON Once upon a time there was a little girl named Mary. She thought that she would go in the wood. She did so, but she had forgotten to ask her mother. She was busy picking flowers and forgot all about home and her friends. A fairy came out of a tree and asked her to come in. Mary did as the fairy requested. The fairy said, "You went away from home and did not ask your mother, didn't you?" Mary said, "Yes." "Are you lost?" asked the fairy. "Yes," said Mary. "Well." said the fairy, "you will have to stay at my house two weeks in order that you will learn not to go away wfthout asking." So Mary stayed at the fairy's house and when she was ready to go home she was like a new girl. She was very good and when she got home her mother knew what had happened to her and she was glad. Mary got up early in the mornings and helped her mother as much as she could and then she would play, but she never went away again without asking her mother. Vivian Mendenhall, Starr School.
THE FAIRY'S WAND One day a fairy was In a meadow with her golden vand. She found a little boy in the grass. As he was very kind to every one he asked the fairy if there was any thing that he could do for her. She said, "Since you are so kind you may Lave two wishes." The boy wished that his father and mother were rich and that he hart a fairy 'wand. When he got home he found that his father and mother were rich and that he had the fairy wand. Mildred White, water School.
POODLE One day as grandpa was walking along the railroad he heard something crying. He looked and saw something moving in a sack. He picked it up and found that it was a little white' poodle dog. He brought it home and since I was staying with them he gave it to me. In about two days I went home and took the dog with me. Mother said that I could keep him. We soon moved to the country near South Whitely. Poodle was a good dog for a long time, but after a while he began to catch chickens. Some people wanted to buy him so we decided that it would be best to let them have him. They paid us $2.00. Sister and I each 'got a dollar. We bought some aprons. Lore tta Armel, Columbia City.

So I shot his wife with a gun; Then I took it and Fought bravely until we had won. Victor Scott, East Jefferson School.
MARCH "March," said the wind to the dry leaves; "March" said the wind to the dust; "March," said he to the old seed pods. The dust flew and the dry leaves flew. The little seeds fell to the ground and began to take roots. Virginia Rogers, 2A, Starr School.
