Tom Finds a Dog Once upon time there was a little boy whose name was Tom. His father was dead. His mother and his little brother Frank, and his sister Mary were very poor. They lived in an old house. They had little to eat, his mother just had fifty cents left. After it was spent she said she was afraid they were going to starve. One day he went to see If he could find something to do. He did not have any breakfast. He walked along the street and as he was coming along the street he saw a little dog. He looked at the dog and- saw it had a collar on. He looked at it and it read as follows: "317 South 16th st. Suns." He took the dog to the place. It was a great big house. He went up to the door and rng the bell. A little girl came to the door and asked him what he wanted. He showed her the dog. Her father came home and asked where he found the dog, so Tom told the whole story. So the little girl's father said he would give him a job in his office at six dollars a week and they lived happy ever after. Clare Longfellow. 5B, Finley School.

Letter Received From Junior's Orphan Just this week a letter has been received at The Palladium office from little- Odette Negre, the French girl whom the Junior Palladium adopted about two years ago. The letter was written just after Bhe had received the box which The Palladium sent to her for Christmas. The letter follows: Collorgues, 24 February, 1919. Dear Benefactors I thank you very much for the last gift that you have sent me. My appreciation of your kindness increases every day. Besides your generous gift you have In great kindness sent a very beautiful package to me. 1 cannot express all my gratitude for the pretty thoughts that it contained. Mama has found the clothing very useful; it pleases us very much. We do nothing but admire the beautiful blue material, and as. to the little candies, all the family show their appreciation of those. In our village we have gotten out of the habit of having candy. There isn't any. For many months we have been without eugar and we do not know how long it will be so. One only realizes tire great use of sugar when one Is sick. We have all had La Grippe, a cruel sickness, which has stayed for a long time at Collorgues. Mama and my youngest brother are not yet entirely well. They cannot take

any Tisane (or diet-drink) without sugar. I would not wish, dear benefactors, to take advantage of your kindness in making you a email request. If it were possible for yon to send us a little sugar, you would be rendering us a great service. Believe that it is necessity that obliges me to reveal this request,. If it were not for that I would never have done it. Jn short, if the thing U possible for you, that little bit of sugar would be welcome. I address to the students of tho school my best expressions of sympathy and of thankfulness for the pretty cards that I have from them. In order to thank them in their own way, I am making a little package of ten boxes of licorice. My oldest sister works in a factory very near Collorgues. Once again, dear benefactors, receive our best friendship. Odette Negre, Collorgues, par St. Chaptes Card

Billboard Talk Bob and Betty turned and found themselves looking toward the billboard. "Everyone who works and saves may join my- army," Uncle Sam seems to say. "How! How!" said Bobby, but Uncle Sam did not answer. And the strangest thing happened. Somo one had put sjuio paper booklets into their hands. "Oh!" said Bobby, "this tells us all about the army. Here is tho first command: Buy War Savings Stamps! Let us all play the game and join the army." Edith C. Johnson, BA Grade, Baxter.

them and then cleaned up the house and locked all the doors in the house and then went away. Every Sunday they would take flowers out to the fairies' graves and to the boy's grave and these fairies were so kind to them they

would not let a weed grow on either one of the graves, and they acted like it was there cousins and even the boy too. So the fairies that were left were happy, and also will be happy ever after. Florence Dingley.

SAVE PENNY FROM EACH NICKEL The meaning of thrift Is to work and save your money. One way you can save your money is to put it in Thrift Stamps. To earn your money you can sell rags and rake tne yards for people this summer. What you earn does not matter so much as what you save. Each of ua should save a small part of our money each week. Think of the poor Belgian, French and English children, who are crippled and hungry. The reason we had this war is because we didn't save enough. If we are not thrifty we will have another war. Some people say, "Now the war is over wo do not need to save any more." But we do need to save. When we get a niclrle we should, at least, put away a penny of it. Conservation means thrift In tho home. One can conserve by saving foods of a'l kinds. Such as bread left over from one meal made into puddings for the next meal, vegetable:; made into salads. Uso patterns that have the least waste, and use scraps for piecing quilts. Alma Chamness, 5 A Grade.
