Dear Junior Folks : Have you been thinking about what you will do in your spare hours this summer? juniors no one need to have time hang heavy on his or her hands in such a time as this, We must conserve time as well as other things. You boys and girls who have nothing at all to do can easily find plenty of work. When school is out, don't neglect the Red Cross. They will need help from children this summer much' more than they did in the winter because there will be more women working in the rooms and they will -need children to help them. - Then too, there are errands to be run and knitting for th Hgirls. to do:. So you see Juniors there is little need for any of you to be idle this summer. ". ' ' . y Then too, Junior Folks please ;doiot forget to: write-for the Junior. i This is.yourlown little newspaper and each boy and girl in the county may become a reported for it.

. V THE CONTEST : . .: r' Springtime was drawing near and the annual .' literary contest . was foremost in all the minds of, the scholars '. of the Highland high school..', ; -'!.;.?'.. . We notice . two girls . who, are especially .interested in the declamatory contest' .'. Beatrice and ', Lillian have both decided to try 'out. It can. easily be seen -.that, each one has set. her heart, on gaining the medal in that glorious night ' ' : .Now these, two girls are friends, but still their natures are somewhat different. Beatrice is a tall graceful . girl. She ' hks a .. rather commanding !f s'pirli and :aeem s to accomplish -anything, she-wishes . to
do. v She ' is very i lovable and wins
many- friends by i her smiling facet but still she 'displays at times a rather ' haughty iair which seems hard for her to conquer.; - ' Lillian is also slim .and graceful but not as tall as' her friend "B" as she calls her. . She is a great favorite among her schoolmates, be: cause of. her sweet disposition. She is not a girl of- many words, but a gmile is always seen on her face.
Much as the ! girls loved eachj other, they decided to contest onth
against :. the ; other. . They also planned not to tell each other what (hey . would speak, on, as . they thought It -would bt more exciting to wait and see what the other was going to speak about, . ' . " " 5 r It -so happened that they both se
lected tbe. same piece, each' thinking that hers -was going to be the best.- Tfcey would get together -and talk about- their rpieces, ' bat never told the title. ' -- : Beatrice - whose'- parents ; werei well able to afford the expense, was
coached -by a talented elocutionist,
but -Lillian, -unable to pay for le sons-on her speech, taught herself. She -had had much - of this training in former years, but now she-was older,- her-)arenl8:-fel( that , they could not-afford it."'Each girl placed much time on"
be piece,- as she knew that 1 time
and practice was the only true way to -perfection." Beatrice and Lillian seemed anxious for the day to come as they'bad never really entered into such a contest before. 7 - --" "B"--practiced ;wlth her -teacher every- spare hour, never idle, as the days were flying rapidly. - Only two days more and the very- thought made -them bold their breath'. Prepared as they were, . yet they thought themselves- to-be incapable of their part' Lillian, digging away by herself day after day, seemed to delight in -her -undertaking. It is -now the night for -the contest -and -the girls are seen coming into tbe building together." Each knows that she will go out of-the
building' either the winner or thr
loser, mtd the suspense is almost unendurable." - , ' . The declamatory -contest was the second on the program. "Beatrice was called upon to give her reading first.'. Dressed in a light green voile d res she looked more like 4 fairy than- a young girl- as she stepped to the front of the stage. . . . . She gave the title. The Old Violin."The audience was awake to very word ahe a poke. -and tha ea-

couraged she seemed to have lost all fear. She went .back, to her seat amid much applause and ringing cheers, : : 1 1- -.'Lillian then stepped forward "and immediately there was a bush: She gave the title, -The Old - Violin." That was a shock to tbe people and also to Beatrice. : - .Going' to the side , of the stage she gently -raised a violin from its case, . -The audience ' was ; appalled and . seemed to. be carried away as though the violin. itself were telling a story to them. Everything was pictured to them so: plain that wben she? had finished . all .hearts -were softened and . all .eyes were glistening with tears.' . j t i- .' -. . , - The judges were long in deciding which, one .would ;be the winner.

THE MOUNTAIN LION One day two of my friends and i decided to go camping. We v. engoing to camp in the mountains for two weeks. - We selected a beautiful, place. The grass was v 'svery green and wild flowers -bloomed all around. . ; "'; ; : .We bad: been .there about sis days- when .Something happened that caused us to leave immediately: ; It. wast about, noon, and e were cooking' our dinner, which consisted ef bacon and potatoes, when We Suddenly heard a slight noise in the underbrush not far distant... We. supposed it was a rabbit or some other small animal, and
tit. did not worry;us But suddenly there -appeared .from the under- ! brush a large mountain lion that
. would have scared any one. We had no means of defense, having brought no guns with us. It was about ready to spring and we did not know what to do. There
was a river close by and we thought
that we could probably run and swim, across. We ran as fast as we could and swam across the river, but to our dismay we found the lion could also swim. We were frantic .with. fear. ' , . . ' The . mountain , lion ; suddenly jumped into a tree and we thought we were safe but when we looked up. In the tree it was again ready to spring. ? "-'.. :' ; , ;; . ; We began to run and the mountain lion sprang from tree to tree. We were so terrified that we could scarcely , run.. ,' ' . ' i; .. ' We were running along; when we came to a cave. We went, right in and in there we found a guti and shells. . ' .. tl One; of my. friends' who could shoot real straight shot the lion. , - We found out later that the cave had been inhabited-by a wild man.
He bad been killed and his gun was still in there. Olive Pontius, Lewisburg. -,.' ,'.
