Chautauqua Holds For All Boys

All Chautauqua boys and girls! over six years of age may take part in the children's entertainment next Saturday afternoon, August 24, if they come to the children's tent each day the first week for the training. This entertainment, which will be under the direction of Miss Bescie Buhl, an elocutionist, who has been on the Richmond Chautauqua program in other years, is different from anything which has been given by the children at the Chautauqua before. Monday, the first day which the children's tent will be open, there will be a children's chautauqua, just for fun, where all the boys and girls are to get acquainted with each other and with Miss Buhl before they start to work on the songs and drills for the real entertainment, Saturday. On Monray, all the children are asked to come at 9:30 prepared to say a verse or sing a song. As soon as possible, Miss Buhl will select all the boys and girls for the different drills. In Cherry Blossom's Tea Party, one girl will be dressed as a Japanese girl, while several other girls will be Americans who come to visit her, and they will have a fan drill and a parasol drill, ending with a little tea party. Fourteen girls can be used in an anchor drill in which the girls will be dressed in white sailor suits with little caps and carry large blue anchors. "The Soldier and the Red Cross Maid" is a duet for a boy and girl, but there will be a number of recitations for either one boy or one girl alone, or group songs for any number. One very popular song, especially with Jaoys is "Everyone is a Sinner." Besides these there will be two short playlets in which boys and girls who enjoy theatricals may prove themselves star performers. For children younger than school age, there will be a sand pile and playthings, where they may entertain themselves while their parents are in the auditorium during the lectures. Children's Program.

French Children Have No Fears When Yanks Arrive French children not only have learned popular American songs but are using them to good advan tage in most appropriate places by this time. At one of the coast cities, where two of the Richmond boys landed in July, a crowd of school children met them as they were going down the street and greatly surprised the boys by breaking out In good English, sing ing, "Hail, hail, the gang s all here, what the deuce do we care, Bill Although the Kaiser might not have heard them addressing him at that time ,the spirit which the happy French boys and girls were showing as they saw the Ameri can Yanks land was so strong and joyous that is sent the boys on with even greater enthusiasm.

It was organized September 15, 1917. There are 22,000,000 school children in the United States who are Juniors. , If each child were to make just one article think of the great amount of good they would do. It is certainly up to us to get busy. There are many different kinds of work we can do. Among them are making clothing for the desti tute children of France and Belgium. Some of these poor people have only the sky above them and the ground beneath their feet but they have the American Red Cross for their friend. Among these destitute people are many babies and an appeal has been sent to the American children for help. Unless baby outfits are made these French and Belgian babies will suffer during the coming winter. Patterns will be furnished at the local Red Cross rooms and information will be given gladly. The material used for these clothes should be dark and very strong. Black, grey and blue are the colors prelered. French people have a great dislike for bright colors. The American children are urged to make ihese garments. There are many things we can make for our own dear soldier boys, such as bed socks, ice bag covers, hot water bag covers, comfort kits, knitted squares for afgana and many other things. The work mentioned is for girls but the boys may help. In Hamilton, Ohio, the boys made all tie boxes in which to ship the garments and other things. We must get busy and do our part. Ruth Critchet, 315 N. Ninth St., Richmond, Ind. Richmond Roses Will Greet Yanks in Berlin "To Berlin" is the slogan of all the Allies today, but Richmond has one representative already there, even within the Kaiser's garden; the Richmond Rose. According to a recent notice which E. G. Hill of this city was reading, an article copied from a Berlin magazine concerning roses made special mention of the Richmond Roses, of Richmond, Indiana, which were of conspicuous beauty in the emperial gardens. It had taken Mr. Hill ten years to develope this particular rose, but it now has become a favorite all over Europe. And it is of peculiar interest that of the two thousand men who have left from Wayne county with the purpose to reach Berlin, the one Richmond man who has spent his life creating new varieties of exquisite roses, has sent his work where guns and bullets have not yet been able to reach. But when the Yanks do finally reach their destination a glowing touch of velvety red will greet them.

American Indians Are

That the white man's democracy appeals to the American red man is shown by the way the Indian is adding to the crop production by hard work as well as what he is doing in uniform as a fighter. Over 100,000 acres of new land have been broken on the Indian reservation of Saskatchewan and Alberta, Canada. These acres will yield millions of bushels of wheat and flax. Great credit is due William M. Graham, Indian commisCanning Gab Girls Discuss Patriotic Troubles Troubles in canning were discussed principally at the business part of the meeting of the Girls' Canning Club, held at the home of Alice Lemon on East Main street, Wednesday morning. One member told how one can of tomatoes which she had put up in tin made a regular orchestra in the cellar by popping and making all sorts of queer noises. Another member told how, when she was canning tomatoes in glass jars, the bottom of one had dropped out so that all of the tomatoes (which were being canned whole) went floating aronnd in the boiler; but rather than lose her work, she merely dipped the tomatoes out and put them in another can. Jut for the most part all the work in canning has been successful, and the girls report that they are entirely satisfied. Recipes of oatmeal and corn meal muffins, oatmeal cookies and other wartime recipes, were exchanged and discussed. A picnic lunch was served on the lawn, and games were played during the morning. The next meeting will be held during the second week of the Chautauqua. The members present included Martha Plummer, Iris Cook, Louise Bentley, Dorothy and Ruth Hasemeier, Martha Webb and Dorothy Iemon. Miss Bertha Larsh conducted the meeting. SCHOOL NOTES Warner, Ilibberd and Vaile schools are now the only public schools in the city which have not had domestic science rooms arranged in their buildings, but each of the schools will have both cooking and sewing for the 5th. and 6th grade girls as they did last year. Miss Berry will take the place of Miss Mary Williams who formerly

Some have won honor medals, all have done well at sharp-shooting and many are wearing the kilts of the Highland. The women show their patriotism by knitting and making comforts.

A few other changes have been made in the teachers, which will be announced later. Whitewater school will have Mr. Joseph Blose as the principal, who takes the place of Mr. Stockinger. Mr. Blose graduated from Earlham in 1916 and since then has been teaching in Spiceland, Ind. Garfield Boy Loses Life at Morton Lake James Dorsey, 1218 Sheridan street, the fourteen year old boy who was drowned at Morton Lake Friday afternoon, was a member of the class which had graduated from Garfield and was ready to en ter High School this fall. He had started out Friday morning with his friend, Carl Doty, to go fishing, after which they decided to go in swimming below the spillway of the dam at Morton Lake. While Carl went around to the shallow water, James dived off of the spring board, but after swirai ming only about fifteen feet, he seemed to give out and called for help. There was no grown person around, and the six children who were nearby did not know how to swim well enough to go in after him, stated Robert Brewster, one of the boys who were present, so although they ran for help, James fbad drowned before anyone could come. James had gone to school at Sevastopol, and has several brothers and sisters there now. He was a member of the South Ninth Street Baptist church. Beside his mother, father, and grandmother, those of his family are two brothers, Clarence and Grant, and three sisters, Edna, Thelma and Geneva. French is the official language of Belgium.

Lone Scouts Write

Patriotic Letters to Soldiers and Orphans Any boy who who takes the Lone Scout pledge and lives up to it may become a Lone Scout. There are no membership fees or dues. The following is the pledge: "I pledge allegiance to my flag and the nation for which it stands, with Liberty and Justice for all. I will 'Do, a Useful Thing each Day, and be worthy of the name 'Lone Scout.' " The purpose of the Lone Scouts of America is to give the boys all the advantages of the Boy Scouts of America while permitting them to work alone if it Is not convenient for them to belong in tribes. This organization is for all wide awake ambitious boys throughout the world. Any boy who can understand the pledge may join the movement. The Lone Scouts of America were incorporated in Washington in 1915. At the first meeting, W. D. Boyce was elected Chief Totem and has held that position ever since that time. As a Scout progresses in his work he is awarded degrees and the degrees make up the lodges. Badges are given in the degree and lodge work if the Scout pays for mailing them. This organization is supported by the sale of its weekly magazine at three cents a copy or 75 cents a year. If any Richmond Lone Scouts wish to join the War Garden tribe they should send their name and address on a stamped envelope to Lone Scout Fred Leese, 25 Pleasant street, Hanover, Pa. This tribe consists of all Scouts who have a war garden or live on farms. The purpose of the tube is to increase the knowledge in farming. Another tribe in which membership is well worth having is the "Soldier Fund Tribe." The purpose of this tribe is to write letters of cheer to our boys "over there," and to the sens of our allies. Also to send articles to them either for their comfort or pleasure. There are six funds: A U. S. Soldier Fund; British Soldier Fund; Belgium Soldier Fund; French Soldier Fund; Belgium Orphan Fund; and French Orphan Fund. When a member joins he will be given a soldier's name and will be expected to write this soldier and to send gifts to him at Christmas. Any Scout wishing to join this movement should write to Lone Scout Cecil H. Dickinson, Newhall, Calif. Save All Scraps for Red Cross Day Nursery "Save rubber and old scraps for the Day Nursery," is the new motto for Richmond boys and girls to adopt. The Red Cross also can be helped by having the boys and girls collect old automobile license plates and bring them to the north side Red Cross rooms where they can be dropped down the stone steps into the cellar way until there is a big enough pile collected to be sold. Only about one eighth of a cent is paid for a signal plate, but when a large enough collection ia made, quite a little money for it can be obtained. The day nursery will not have any more special days for the boys and girls to collect old newspapers for the fund, but a continual source of Income is hoped to be had through the efforts of the boys and girls to sell old rags, papers, rubber and other articles to Mr. Jaffe, a local junk dealer, who turns the money over to the Day Nursery at once. A new system has been adopted whereby Mr. Jaffe buys a large number of coupons from the Day Nursery, and then if any one sells him twenty-five cents worth of junk and wants to help the Day Nursery he will give them a twenty-five cent coupon which means twenty-five cents more for the nursery. This way many scraps and papers can be sold which the boy scouts could not manage when they formerly would come around to collect thfi material, and much hard work will be spared the boys by Mr. Jaffe collecting the material directly.
