PAOB THREB

THE PLACE OF REFUGF. . In France near the front lived a family named Poincare. When the Gorman made a drive of a few miles the British told the people todu ba a little farther for Set?. This taZJr wfuBei Later came the news that Germans were coming. The Poincare la had an old underground room. The entrance to the room was hidden by a large rock. They took provisions to this room and stayed there for three days.'.' The British drove the Germans back. The family came from the underground room and found that their house was in ruins. They went to Paris and were safe. Roscoe Kirkman, J., Baxter School.

A THRIFT STAMP STORY. One upon a time there was a little boy whose name was Bill. He did not know why thrift stamps were being bought by all the children of the school. His mother told him that they would help Uncle Sam win the war. The next day Bill bought a thrift stamp and told ail the children in the school why the government was selling them. Bill kept on buying stamps until he had ten war savings stamps. He did his bit toward winning the war. Harry Murray, Warner School.

The Kingbird. The kingbird is an enemy of hawks and crows which it attacks at every opportunity, thereby affording protection, to. the neighboring poultry yards. It loves the country and especially the orchards and , trees about farm buildings. Abount 86 per cent, of its food consists of insetcs of harmful nature. It eats the harmful rose bug and the blister beetle. It has been" said that tbe kingbird eats honeybees to an injurious extent. This is not true as on the examination of 634 stomachs only 61 bees were found in 22 stomachs. Of these 51 were useless drones. It destroys robber bee which kill honeybees. The vegetable food consists ,pf seeds, etc. It is about eight and one half inches in length. The lower white surface and white tipped tail distinguish the kingbird.

It breeds tnrougnoui me wnoie of the United States except in the southwestern part and southern Canada. It winters from Mexico to South America.

A THRIFT STAMP STORY. One way to help win this war is to earn money for thrift stamps. The way I earned money was by going to the grocery and down town for the neighbors. I soon had a quarter. I bought a thrift stamp. Other ways that little folks can help are by knitting for the soldiers, saving papers and tin foil, saving meat and wheat. The older folks can buy Liberty bonds. I have a war garden. I have planted radishes, onions and turnips. I am going to help Uncle Sam win the war. Mildred Jones, Finley School.

A BEAR STORY. In a deep wood lived a bear. One day as he was prowling around he saw a little boy. The bear thought that it would be great fun to frighten the boy. The bear stepped from behind the tree. The little boy did not know what to do. He ran home to his mother and father. He told them about the bear. His father went to the woods and shot the bear. His mother made him a large coat from the bears' fur. Lester Hiles, Warner School. OLD GLORY. Hurrah fcr Old Glory, our flag of the red, white and blue. And our Sammies so true! We will tave to buy Thrift Stamps, And held the soldier boys in France. We must save sugar, meat and wheat. So that the soldier boys can have something good to eat. Elizabeth Chamberlain, Brownsville School, 6th grade.

My Thrift Stamp Money My mother and my brother would give me money to spend foolishly. I told my mother I would rather have thrift stamps instead of candy and go to picture shows. I am trying very hard not to "u tot candy and other things. I goto a"B-ab9Hi.everf.tW0 months. That Is too oi"- Uave not had any. candy for a long ti. Elizabeth Saurer, 5A, Warner.

MY THIFT STAMP MONEY. I want to help win the war and do all that I can for the soldiers that are giving their lives for us. We must do our bot. The government is taking the best men of our country. They will do their part toward winning the war. I am working every morning and evening. I get three dolars and a half per week. I am putting it away for thrift stamps. Robert Robinson, 5B, Warner School.

JOHNNIE WORKS FOR HIS MONEY. Johnnie was six years old. His family was very poor. John wanted to buy Thrift Stamps because he not only wanted to help his country, but everyone in his room at school, had Thrift Stamps. He decided to go to work. Johnnie went down to Mrs. Browns house and asked her if there was anything that he could do -to help her. She told him that he could go to the store for. her. He" went and when he came back she gave Llm fifty cents. The next day he tought Thrift Stamps. Enda Manford.

WHERE THE CAKE WAS. When Tommy's mother went to get the cake for dinner she found that a wedge shaped chunk had been cut out. "Thomas," she said severely, "Some one has taken a large piece of cake." Tommy blushed guiltily. "Thomas." said his mother, "I didn't think that you had it in you." "Tisn't all," he protested, "part of it is in Elsie." Harry Forbes, Jr.

RALPH'S GARDEN. One day Ralph came to school with his pockets bulging. The children wondered what was in them. One little girl named Mary decided to find out what was in them. At recess Mary asked Ralph what he had. At first he refused to tell, but when Mary told him that she would give him her two new pencils he said that he would tell her. Johnnie said that he had a great quantity of seed In his pockets. He intended to plant a thrift garden. With the money he intended to get he was going tobuy thrift stamps and so help win the war. Charles Rogers, Starr School. Verse of "Yankee Doodle" Yankee Doodle's gone to France, To help them can the Kaiser. When Kankee Doodle gets to France, He'll make the Kaiser wiser. (Chorus) Yankee Doodle hurry up,

Yankee Doodle hurry up, Yankee Doodle hurry up, And make the Kaiser wiser. R. F B., Columbia City, Ind. TWO GOOD REASONS. "Is there any pupil in class who can tell me why the giraffe has

such a long neck," asked one of the

teachers In a Richmond grade school. Little Johnny raised his hand and the teacher called upon him to enlighten the class. Said little

Johnny:

"The giraffe has such a long neck, teacher, because its head is so far away from its body."

GIRL EARNS MONEY FOR THRIFT STAMPS. My father had a lot of old tires that he said he was going to sell. I asked him tor trie money he was to get for them. He told me that I could have it,' but that it would not "amount to more than fifteen or, twenty cents. I had a dime so I put that to the money from the tires and bought a thrift stamp. I now have twenty three thrift

. -i oae war savings stamp. 8 m p" T o 'Unss, Warner Mary Jane Sc.- ' School.

HOW I EARNED MONEY FOR THRIFT STAMPS. My mother asked me if I would .help with the housework. I told her that I would if she would pay me. She told me that she would give me thirty-five cents per week, but I told that thirty would be enough. So I now get thirty cents per week. With this money I buy thrift stamps and other things. Sometimes I get two thrift stamps a week if I save my money. I .think that every one can earn money in some way. Thrift stamps will help win the war. Margaret Misener, Warner School. .

This answer of course produced a laugh, but did not entirely satisfy the teacher. "I suppose you are right, Johnny," said she with a smile, "but there is really another and more important reason. I see you are holding your hand up, Mary Smith. You may tell the class why the giraffe has such a long rck." "Please, teacher," said Mary Smith, "It's got a long neck so as to advertise sore throat medicine."

The teacher gave it up and

passed on to the next question.

RIDDLES. Why is a cigar loving man like a tallow candle? - Because he will smoke when he goes out. ' How many weeks belong to the year? Forty-six. The others are lent. (Lent.) What question is that to which you must answer "yes0? What does y-e-s spell?

What kind of paper tells who you are? Tissue ('tis you). If your uncles sister is not your aunt what relation is she to you? Your mother. Why is a pig In the parlor like a house on fire? The sooner that it gets out the better. Margaret Shileds, Warntr School.

Greater love hath no man than

this: That he should lay down his life for a friend. Bible.

FRISS AND FRASS. Friss and Frass were two chicks. They had just come out of their shells. They had a large mother hen. "How big the world is. Let us walk in it " said Friss. They bad not gone far until they saw an animal. They were both frightened. "We will run back," said Frass. They ran back and described it to their mother. She only laughed and said, "That was, just a toad." Friss and Frass went back and made rfiends with the toad. They often laughed at being afraid of a toad. Cleon Fleck, Columbia City.

GIRL GOES ON ERRANDS FOR HER MOTHER. One morning mother and I were up early. Mother wanted some milk for breakfast. She said that she would give me a quarter if I would go after it. I went and on the way back I saw a picture of a little French boy whose hands were cut off. I thought that I ought to be very happy with both of my hands. When I got home I told mother that I was very glad that I had gone for the milk. I bought a thrift stamp with the quarter. 1 still go on errands for my mother. Virginia Overdeer, Warner.

What We Do When We Plant a Tree What do we plant when we plant the tree? We plant the ship that will cross the sea; We plant the mast to carry the sails; We plant the plank to withstand the gales; The keel, the keelson, the beam and knee.
