THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM, SATURDAY, MARCH 22. 1919

When I Got Mad at Ma Once I got mad at Ma; I don't remember why; lust walked right off to school. Without tellin' her goodbye A big lump came In my throat, And pretnear made me cry; For me and ma are awful pals And always kiss good-bye. My that's the longest niornin' I ever spent I know! I stubbed my toe and tore my waist And fell and skinned my' knee. I missed in my Arithmetic class A chance to get ahead,. And in the spellin' class, I left a letter out of dead. And that old lump grew in my throat, And I said, 'spose if ma should die Right now, and me leavin" her Without kissing he good-bye. But never mind, when I saw my ma again, J 'st guess I won't go oft no more "Without kissing her good-bye. Selected by Loretta Kittle. 2B, Starr School.

A Little Girl Who Forrct One day Mary's mother said:

"Mary, you must go to town and j get some bread, apples, butter, cheese, cornstarch, bananas, and some lemons. You must hurry or when you come back I will give you a licking and send you to bed." Mary said she would hurry. She took her time for there were so many things to look at that she forgot what to get. She stood still on the corner and said, "What was I to get." So she went home making up something to say to her mother. When she got home her mother came in and gave her a licking saying, "Why didn't you bring the things?" The next morning when she went down stairs she found a note saying, "I have gone away to stay all week, keep the house nice." What was she going to do? She found the house all torn up. She straightened it all right. The next morning when she woke, her mother was sitting in a chair by her. Her mother said, "You straightened the house up nice, get your clothes packed, we are going to New York City for a m oh, guess, for a month? Yes, hurry and get ready dear. They had a good time and saw many beautiful things. Edna Manford. 5A, Starr School. EQUALLY TALENTED. A private soldier, tired of border life, went to the captain with a story about his wife, whom he said was breaking her heart from anxiety for his presence. The officer replied, "You are not telling me the truth. I have just received a letter from your wife asking me to keep you away from home because you get drunk, break the fur niture and treat her disgracefully." The man saluted and turned to leave; then he stopped. "Sir," he said, respectfully, "may I speak to you a minute as man to man." - "Yes," said the captain, "what is it?" "Well, sir, you and me are two of the most elegant liars in the battalion. I ain't married." Leora Johanning. SB, Vaile School. TO JAKE. The roses are red, The violets are blue, If Jake isn't Polish, He must be a Jew. MY LUCK. I was fishing nicely when "jerk" a turtle was on my line. I pulled him to the shore, but was afraid to pick him up. I laid my line down and waited a little bit till I thought he was off. But he wasn't. So I jerked till I jerked him off I never want to get another on my line again. Frank Ncwland. Starr School. General: "Well, what news?" Private: "The enemy wanted to borrow some cannon balls." General: "Did you let them have them?" Private: "Sure, they promised to send them back in the morning." Professor X., who at times is rather blunt in speech, remarked angrily at the beginning of a lesson, "I don't know why it is every time I get up to speak some fool talks." Then he wanted to know why the boys broke into a roar of laughter. Lone Scout. MY PETS. Dear Aunt Polly: I want to tell you about my pets. I have two cats. I raised them from little kittens. 1 call them Tabby and Spotty. And I have two gold Ish. I call them Buster and Mary Jane. Mildred Bloemke. 2B, Hibberd School. A man wanted to hang himself. A man saw him and asked him why he didn't put a rope aroung his neck. He said, "I tried it, but it inter fered with my breathing." THE KAISER AND UNCLE SAM. Uncle Sam and the Kaiser had a race; The Kaiser fell down and skinned his face. Uncle Sam said to the Kaiser, "Do you want any more?" "No," said the Kaiser, "my face Is Bore." Ruth Jennings.

Oar "Thank Yon" List Too bad! But that's the way it

happened! Several people copied the same thing this week, and in a case like that we take always the first one that comes in. But we are glad you picked out something you liked and copied it and sent it in because it might have happened, probably next time it will, that no other Junior will copy the same thing. Then, again, there was another reason that some of the "letters" were not published. Shall we tell it to you Juniors? Well, we'll just whisper it: It is because they were not complete. A very interesting story would start and then v.ould suddenly end or at least stop, and then the real story just became no story at all. Now isn't that too bad? And then besides, there were a very few "letters" that were not written plainly enough. Thank you, all you Juniors, and try real soon again. And be sure to write the whole story, and write it just as plainly as you can, and on one side of the sheet of paper. Always send in the answers to your riddles with the riddles, please. The list of the Juniors whose letters we were unable to publish this week follows: Ida Mae Moriarity, 6B, Starr; Maxine Leech, 4B, Starr; Frederic Weir, Starr; Mablo Brooks, 4B, Starr; Marguerite M., Starr; Lucile Wickett, 4A, Starr; Ruth Unthank, 4 A, Starr; Owen McCoy, 4 A, Whitewater; Helen Boomershine, 4A; June Schramm, 3A, Warner; Dale Horr, 3A; Ralph Klingman, Warner; Hazel Wilson, 5B; Sylvia Milton, 5 A, Finley; Margaret Wagones, Finley; Pansey Wilson, Finley; Martha Titus, Finley; Mildred Fienning, Vaile; Albert Dallas, 3 A, Warner; Florence Norrls, Warner; Ruth Borton, 5B, Warner; Effle Lontz, 4B, Warner; Pauline Matson, Sevastopol; Phyllis Moss, 1131 Hunt street; Bertha Landreith, 5B, Finley; Marie Landrieth, 4B, Finley; Kenneth Farwig, 5B, Finley; Charlene Foreman, 5 A, Finley; Kathleen D., 3A. 8 Years old. The Bluebird I know the song that the bluebird is gjnging Out in the apple-tree where he is swinging; Brave little fellow: the skies may be dreary, Nothing care he while his heart is so cheery. Hark! how the music leaps out from his throat. Hark! was there ever so merry a note? Li3ten awhile, and you'll hear what he's saying, Up in the apple tree swinging and swaying. Dear little blossoms down under the snow, You must be weary of winter I know. Hark! while I sing you a message of cheer; Summer is coming and spring-time is here! Little white snowdrop, I pray you arise; Bright yellow crocu3 come open your eyes; Sweet little violets, hid from the cold. Put on your mantles of purple and gold. Daffodils, daffodils! say, do you hear? Summer is coming and spring time is here. Selected by Lucile Clements. 3 Grade, St. Andrews. March I come with a shout. And scatter about The things I find in my way; Through city and town I rush with a frown, And over the hills away. I bluster and blow, And sweep off the 6now, For carpets as never were seen; And raise such a breeze, The shrubs and the trees Don quickly their loveliest green. Elmer Moriarty. 3B, Starr School. Why is a young colt like an egg? Because you have to break them before using. Frank Newland. Starr School. ,

Query Corner

Tho editor will try to answer questions readers of tho Junior submit to her. She will not promise to answer all of them.i The questions will be answered a rotation, so do not expect the answer to be printed in thej same week in watch you senaj it in. QUERY CORNER Dear Aunt Polly: What is the best thing to do on Sunday afternoons? Edna Manford. Dear Edna: The very best thing? Well, let me see! To my mind there is nothing better than taking a little walk in the country or in the woods on Sunday afternoons. Especially when it's one of those days that just tease you to come out and enjoy it, and see all the new little green things it has to show you, and to hear all the concerts, given by the birds, that it has ready, waiting for you to como and hear them. Of course there's lots of other interesting things to do on Sunday afternoons, reading your favorite book, popping corn, or even pulling taffy. I always liked to get out my paint books and paint on Sunday afternoons. But the very nicest thing, it seera3 to me, is to go out for a walk in the middle of the afternoon with some friends, or with your father and mother or some one else that is just aching for a good, woody walk, too. What do you like best? Aunt Polly. Dear Aunt Polly: What is my girl's name? Joe Aviator, G. G. S. P. S. I am not asking for information. Dear G. G. S.: Well! If you say you're not asking for information, you must ask for some other reason. Now, I wonder what other reasons there are for asking questions. Not for curiosity, for that really means you want to find out something. And if you are not asking for information, then you are not asking to find out anything. And if you're not asking to find out any thing, I'm not for telling anything, because whatever I'd tell, would probably be news to you, and if I told you something new that would be informing you and that is just what you say you don't want me to do. You remind me of the dentist when he puts a great big piece of rubber over my mouth and then, having fixed me so I can't speak, begins a very interesting conversation expecting me to talk to him. What under the sun am I to do? Anyway, Mr. Aviator, her name is a very, pretty name and rather short and with but I can't tell how many letters are in it, for then I would be telling something. But isn't her hair brown? Aunt Polly. Dear Aunt Polly: How many stars aro in our flag? R. N. There are forty-eight stars in our flag, now. That number has grown from the small number of thirteen. The last time stars were added was in 1912, when two stars were added to the flag, to show that Arizona and New Mexico were from that time on, considered as real states, and belonging to our splendid union of states The United States. MY OWN UNITED STATES. I love every inch of her prairie land, Each Btone of her mountain side. I love every drop of her water clear, That flows in her rives wide. I love every tree, every blade of grass, Within Columbia's gates; The Queen of the Earth Is the land of my birth My own United States. Margaret Livingston. 6B, Starr School. MR. MOREA'S JOKE. I'll tell you a story about Mary and Morea, And which do you like the best? I'll tell you another about his brother, And now I'll take a rest. Sent In by Wilbur Williams. Sevastopol School. . , . . ,

Baxter Has Health Drive All the Juniors of Baxter are going to be healthy if thv can make it that way. They had a regular campaign there last week. And then everyone wrote a story about it from the little ones way up to the ones in Mr. Steely's room. One story from each of the grades tells some of the things they found out and are planning to do:

OPEN YOUR WINDOWS. Keep your windows open. Tho fresh air drives away the bad air. fgresh air drives away the bad air. The fresh air helps to keep you well. The bad air makes you sick. Joseph Mullen, 2 A. FIRST AID FOR EURNS. If your clothing gets on fire, do not run. Lie down and roll over in a blanket to put out the flamvs. Do not stand up so the flames will come up about your face. For danger comes from breathing flames. Protect the burns from air until doctor comes, by placing a cloth dipped in soda water or vaseline on burns. Herschel Clevenger, 3A. FRESH AIR. Fresh air is very important because if we did not have fresh air we would get sick and die. We must always have our windows up at night because then we will get the oxygen needed during the night. If you get up in the morning feeling sleepy and dizzy we may be sure that we did not raise our windows up that night. You must always air your house in the morning. The way is to lower your windows at the top so the cold air cannot blow in on you. If you raise them from the bottom, you will Be in a draft and perhaps take cold. William Kenney, 4A. FRESH AIR. We ned fresh air for these reasons, first because it keeps away diseases; second, because tho germs do not live in fresh aid, and the third, because the fresh air heats our bodies. The doctor has found out we need oxygen, and if we do not have oxygen we would die. When we go to bed at night we should keep our windows open for we are still and in the living room everybody is moving and we can ventilate it easier. In the winter we should do the same as we would in the summer time. Our nose is another gateway to health. In our nose there are some little hairs which serve as a screen. This screen as we call it is very useful in these ways, when we breathe in we sometimes breathe in dusty air, and the air that goes through our nose collects on the hairs. So it is very important to have fresh air. Leland Fay Cox, 5B. FIRST AID TO INJURED. Broken bones If any person has a broken bono you should keep it as straight as possible. If not the bone will be bent and maybe cut some veins and flesh. Burns If your clothing is afire, get a blanket and - roll on the ground. Do the same to any other person. If you go into a house that is afire you should hold something before the face. Fainting If anyone has fainted, you should lay him down so the blood may flow easily to the head. Give him a strong cup of coffee or about fifteen drops of ammonia in a glas sof water. Nose-bleed If any one has a nose-bleed you should try to make the blood form a clot. If it keeps on running apply ice to the back. After the clot is formed, you should not blow the nose for that will start the bleeding afresh. Choking If anyone is choking it means that something is lodged in the windpipe. Many times it may be coughed out. But if the person keeps on choking take him and hit him on the back. The danger is, it takes the air from the lungs and if, the lungs do not have air you will die. Ivy Folson If anyone has been poisoned by ivy the best thing to do is to scrub the poison with soap. Drowning If anyone has drowned, you should put the hand over the ribs, and raise him up and then put him down. This kind of breathing Bhould be kept up fifteen times a minute. If the person does not come to you Bhould keep the breathing up for an hour. Thomas Wilson, 6A.
