Dear Juniors: Do you ever stop to realize just how selfish you and all of this old world are. Just thing a minute Juniors. How much more pleasant we could make life for other people if we would be just a little more unselfish. It seems to me Junior Folks that everything people do is for themselves. If they loan money it is, of course a commodation to the borrower, but doesn't it benefit the lender to a great extent? He doesn't lend his money without pay. He must have interest. Then too Juniors, you are also selfish. How many times do you give the smaller apple to your little sister or brother? Or how often do you make little sister get out of the swing just because you want it? Then, too, there are times when other people want you to go some place with them and you don't go because it will interfer with something that you want to do. Juniors why don't you all make a resolution resolving to do anything that will give someone pleasure? Try that for a week boys and girls and at the end of the week you will find that you have had more fun than usual. i . " .. v One of the main causes of this war was the selfishness of one nation. That nation had a selfish desire for more land and power. That is the nation that has made all humanity suffer by its selfishness. It was that country that went through Belgium, burned the beautiful city of Louvaine, and preformed other acts of violence. This is one of the reasons that our American boys are obliged to go "Over there" and fight against a powerful military machine. So Juniors you can see where selfishness will lead if it is followed to the extreme. Now is the time to break yourselves of selfishness. Please remember this boys and girls and please your old AUNT MOLLY

Chris Hale has taken to doing his hair up over night so that it will be curly the next day. Aunt Matilda has had the grip. "It makes you feel awfully old," she said. Dan Post and Prof. Englebert can draw very clever pictures. Bee Keller is certainly a line speaker. Last week she spoke a piece which actually brought the tears to Aunt Matilda's eyes! The following is Boneta Wilson's idea of Latin: "Latin." Latin to me is a mystery, Twas used so long ago. It's like the ancient history, You study in poems and prose. The conjugation of "Amo," And a million other verbs! I'd rather go to a Wild West Show, And see the animals and birds, Than sit at school, with book in hand, Learning a Latin varb. One old maid left! That is, two have left and only one remains. Aunt Matilda is the lucky one (or unlucky, which ever it is), but she says no one can join her because they fuss all the time. It is rumored that Rath Smith wants to resume friendly relations with Johnny Detmer and Bob Brigs, but the honorabies have decided to answer in the negative. Elmer Bescher looks quite sporty In his new suit so Elsie Weeks thinks.

PALLADIUM

L. C. wants to know why Grace Chrow persists in getting up so early. My dear L. C: She (Grace) now has Eiky's alarm clock. R. B. asks if it is true that some girls like fat boys. Well, ask Dorothy Beetle, she knows. Collin Fulle and Bill Mendenhall have been writing poems and sign ing them Shakespeare. They then give them to the girls. But Aunt Matilda, who has seen one, declares that if Shakespeare can't write poetry eny better than that, she is :ertainly ashamed of him! Girl Digs Dandelions for , Thrift Stamp Money , Before the government sent out Thrift Stamps I thought I could never save any money to buy them One day mother told me she would give me a penny for every dozen of dandelions I dug out of the yard because they were getting very thick. I picked ten dozen in about one ha'.f hour and earned a dime. She gave me pennies off and on until I had five pennies. This made fifteen cents. Several days after that I picked ten more dozen and earned another dime. This made a quarter, enough to buy one Thrift Stamp. I also earned money by helping mother. At the end of the week she would give me a quarter. I now bave four Thrift Stamps and rill get more soon. Janet Russell, Baxter School. ,

HARRIET'S PICNIC Harriet lived with her mother and father. She was four years old. Her father was a school master. She and her mother stayed alone. One morning, Harriet's mother said, "Iet's go to the park Saturday. It was Fridayv Harriet and her mother wcie going to bake. Her mother prepared the dough, and gave Harriet some. Harriet rolled her dough out. Then she made her cookies. At this time it was ready for the oven. While the cookies were baking, Harriet dressed her doll. Harriet's mother called her, and what do you suppose she saw? Some boys and girls that her mother had baked her. By this time it was time to get supper. Harriet helped her mother get supper. Soon her father came home. They ate supper. Harriet's father told her many stories. Then she said her prayers and Jumped into bed, and was asleep in about three minutes. The next morning she got up early because it was Saturday. She was going to the park. Her mother dressed her and then ate breakfast. She was so excited that she could not eat much. Next her mother washed her and put'on her clean dress. Now they walked down to .the street car. They eoon were there. She took off her shoes and stockings and was playing in the sand. A little girl came running up to her and said, "Are you having a good time?" "Yes." said Harriet Then she said, "Let us make some mud pies." "All right." said Sarah. And she got her little dishes. They played till noon and then both girls went to their mothers and ate dinner. Then Harriet got on her shoes and stocklnga and was soon walking to the station.

u... I'li-Wi1 W.'.V.W.V W.W How I Earned Money to Buy Thrift Stamps When I ( first started to buy rhrift Stamps I asked papa to give me a quarter and I would not ask him any more. He gave me the quarter and I bought a Thrift Stamp." I nsver was so proud before. Aft.?, this I would run errands for mother, make the beds, do the dishes, and clean up the house. When ever mother would have any extra pennies she would give them to me. Just lately I have been selling greens. I have five Thrift Stamps now. Just as soon as one more girl buys a Thrift Stamp our room will have a hundred percent. Mae Morris, Baxter School. Girl Milks Cows to Get Money for Thrift Stamps I am a girl who lives in the country. Of course you know people in the country buy Tnrift Stamps just the same as in the city. I am going to tell you how I earned my money for Thrift Stamps. When I get up in the morning I eat my breakfast, then I wash the dishes, feed the chickens, and sometimes help milk the cows. After I do this I get ready for school. When I come home, I feed the chickens. After dinner, I wash the dishes. When I come home in the afternoon I do the same thing except I help milk the cows. Each day I do this and at the end of the week I get a quarter and I buy a Thrift Stamp. I now have two War Savings Stamps and sev a Thrift Stamps. Reba Townsend, Baxter School. FORGETFULNESS Every time I have to bake anything, I get nervous. No wonder, because, when I turn on the oven I forget, and leave the gasol?9 run. One evening I turned on tue oven and left it run for about twenty minutes, and lighted 1 it. And, Oh, such a noise! The oven door came open, a pan flew out, and went over to the sink. After I recovered from my fright, I was very thankful. Geraldine Harrison, Colombia City.

AB THE CAVE DWELLER Two hundred years, A. D., there lived the cave dwellers. They dressed with a skirt around the loins' and coming almost to their knees. They carried a stick with sharp stones, and a bow and arrows, these were their weapons. Among these lived a boy named Ab. He was as agile as a monkey, he could travel in the trees almost as well as he could on the ground. He lived in a large cave in the side of a hill, there was a hole in in the top about two feet in diameter, over this was a large piece of a tree supported by sticks about six inches long. Ernest Arnold, Starr School. (Continued next week.)

How I Earn Money to Buy Thrift Stamps I earn my money to buy Thrift Stamps by helping clean house and beating rugs. When the grass gets long I mow it. I help wash clothes, wash dishes, dust, and save papers. I work in the garden but do not get pay. I do not buy candy or chewing gum or go to picture shows. I carry ashes out of the furnace and I help my father wash the machine. I do little chores about the house. At the end of the week my father gives me a quarter and I buy a Thrift Stamp Robert Gault, Baxter School. RIDDLES. Round as a barrel Nothing could be nicer.

I'll play with the doll and the cradle while you make the candy," said the baby. So I made the candy while the baby played with the doll. Mother came home while we were eating it. She was very glad that we did not go away. Bessie Moore, Columbia City. MARY'S THRIFT STAMP CARD. Mary had a little card Of saving stamps you know, And everywhere that Mary went.
