Columbus Sailing Once there was a man who sailed across the Atlantic, but people said h could not do such a crazy thing. He went to the king and asked for mn and shins, but the king said he would not. Columbus said If they gave the ship, It would be the richest country, but the king would not. If he would, Columbus would

have sailed across. He went to king of Spain and Queen Isabel for ships and men. He stayed in Spain seven years to see if they would do so. lie said he was going to Frnnco to see if they would give him ships and men. On his way he went passed a schoolroom. His lit tie boy, Dieago was hungry. He said, "Will you give my little son some bread? The king and queen of Spain would not." The school master said if he would write her n )ii;iiitifnl letter aha would listen to him. In five days, three ships landed at I'inta Ninta. Santa Ma rie was the name of the ship Columbus got in, and they sailed. The men said, "Let's throw his over board!" Columbus heard the king try his men, and it made him very angry He sailed many days and many months. -Helen Webster. Whitewater School. EXCHANGE COLUMN Open to All Boys and Girls.

The Crab and His Mother By the Way! It was a pleasant day. The waves of the blue ocean were dancing in the sun. The beach was clean and white. The crab and her son were out for a walk. "Son," said she, "why do you walk so crooked? It looks far better to go straight forward."

Then the young crab answered, "I do wish to walk straight mother. If you will show me how, I will do it." The mother crab started ahead. First, she went to the right and then to the left. The young crab did his best to follow her. At last he said, "Mother, when you learn to walk straight you can teach me." Then he went off down the beach to play. Martha Titus. My Pets Ji. true story, as I am a girl in the 4A grade. I had many pets when I lived in the country. I had a little dog. His name was Bob. When we came to town we gave him to my cousin. I had three kitties. One kitty's name is Tom. One time he was hunting mice in the clover field and Papa cut his foot oft with the mowing machine, and now he has three feet, but he can catch mice. And I had many rabbits. Charleen Brown. Hibberd School. My Bahy Brother Dear Juniors: Did you ever have a sweet baby brother come to your house? And didn't you love to see them grow? My baby brother is one year old and is learning to talk. We must not teach him baby talk or he will not talk correctly. Louise Dietrich. 3A, Hibberd School. In Flander's Fields In Flanders fields the poppies grow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly, Scarce heard amid the guns below. Wo are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, but now we lie In Flanders field. Take up the old quarrel with the .foe! To you from failing hands we throw The torch. Be yours to lift it high! If ye break faith with us who die, We shall not sleep, though poppies blow In Flanders fields. All Kinds of Pets Dear Aunt Polly. I am a little boy 8 years old. I go to school and like my teacher very much. I have a little brother 4 years old. We have two gold-fish and a pet duck. The duck eats corn from our hands and talks to us whenever we open the door. We also have three very pretty hens, and think we will get a bird this summer. Mother and Daddie does not like for us to play with dogs and cats, so we have plenty of other pets. John William Lantz. 132 State street. OUR SCHOOL. Dear Aunt Polly: Our school is in the country. And it is about a mile from New Madison, Ohio. It is white. We have seven 6Ugar trees around it. I live about a mile and a tenth from it. (That is a short distance to me.) We walk about every day. I am seven years old and in the third grade at school. Well as I have nothing else to say I will close. Martha Smelker. DAN AND ZIP. Little Boy Blue has a dog. The dog's name i3 Dan.

Start Swatting Them Now A few weeks ago we learned that we would be happier and healthier than ever if we washed our faces and hands, oh, several times a day even, and Just keep clean as we could all the time. Now we have been learning that if we washed our cities or at least kept them real clean, we and all our neighbors and friends would bo happier too. "Well," you say, "it sounds all right, and we have street cleaners and sprinkler wagons and trash collectors and some laws written up in big law books somewhere, to see that Richmond is cleaned and kept clean." But go into any street and look around you. What do you see? Scraps of paper scattered around. Almost every direction you turn, you can see them. Look on any dump or place where wasted food is uncovered, and you will see, especially later in the summer, flies all over it, which wouldn't be so bad if those same flies would keep on staying in the same place. But they don't. From the open trash barrel or garbage can, they fly to your front porch and even into your house, though you do not ask them in, and they alight on your

nose or on tne pie you "have just made for dinner, or anywhere that looks good to them, and they never think of wiping off their feet, like you do sometimes before you go into a house. That's the worst part about a fly. His feet are rovered with filth and even with germs, and he never seems to mind it. We do not want Richmond to be anything but as clean a little town as it can be, and we can help it to be . that way. Oh, of course we do not happen to be grown nn, but we arc little citizens of Richmond, just the same and are ea.or to help Richmond to be a fin.' little town, and to always look i!s best, don't, we? Now what can we do? Well, we can keep ouselves from throwing scraps of paper in the streets. If every Junior does that the streets of Richmond will be very much cleaner. Then we can go on the war path, determined to got rid of the fly, since we can probably never teach him to wipe off his feet before he comes into our houses. Mr. Fly is not at all clean in his habits and he carriea disease, so we do not want him around. The sooner we begin to get rid of him the fewer flies we will have to kill before the summer is over. Every Junior should see right away that he is armed with a fly swatter. Then every time he sees a fly, instead of saying, "I will kill you sometime," say 'I am going to kill you right now," and see that you do. FOOD CONSERVATION It i. necessary that we save food because we must send food to the starving countries of Europe. Many millions of people are looking to America for their food. We promised them that we would give them twenty million tons of food and wo will. Meat, cheese, butter, potatoes and milk arc very dear. Babies and small children get the m!k. Bread is the only food that thev can afford to buy. Not one country in Europe has enough food to keep the people from starving. Uncle Sam is asking us to save fatty foods. So plan to have a garden and raise your own foods. In this way ycu will be helping Uncle Sam to have enough food to send to Europe. Lloyd Outland, 4A Grade. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN Once a girl wanted to go to college. Her brother said he could not afford to send her and he tossed her a nickel. She took the nickel and bought some calico and made a sunbonnet. She sold it for 25 cents and bought more goods and sold it and then bought more good and so on until she had enought money to go to college. Every little makes much. Benjamin Franklin has taught us thrift. We can also save more and more so our nation will be so thrifty we can even teach Europe .to be more thrifty than it is. Because Benjamin Franklin was so thrifty his picture is on the 1919 war stamps. We surely owe him our respect for teaching us how to save. Thelma Feltman. 6B Grade.

Reading Daddy holds ms paper so, The printing and the letera show, He puis his glasses on his nose, And looks where all the printing goes; But I can read the blackest Ink, Without once stopping short to think. For I make stories as I go, And Daddy reads the ones that grow. In printing shops and people's minds; Oh, there are many many kinds! But make-up reading's best for me, For I don't know the words, you see. Selected by Orville Lee. 5A, Finley School.

The Winning Girl Once upon a uwe mc was a little girl. Her mother was dead and her father ent to the show and never cared a bit about tne littie giri. One uay as she was walking through the wood, she saw a little funny man singing, "I shall make you the winning girl." But the little girl did not know what to think about it and she went over to him and asked him what he meant. He said, "You are the little winning girl I was singing about. 1 will give you six wisues. biie said tuat she wisuud every visa sue visaed would come true, fcaie n'ad ci y hapy. tio ue said, "I will bring back your mother to you."

Clara Garthwait. Whitewater School. How to Earn and Save Money We should earn as much money as we can. Do you ever stop to think how much money you would tarn if you half try? If you have a garden and you had more than you could use, why not try to sell some of it. If you know where you can get a good paper route of some kind, and you know you can get home at a reasonable hour, get the job, if it suits you; well, keep it. If you can earn money, why not try to save it? Why not get a fifth Liberty loan bond if you have enough money. Buy a thrift stamp, you'll have a book full before you know it If that don't suit you, or if you are not in favor of it, keep it at home and buy your clothing with it. It will help you a great lot to earn and save all the money you earn. David Benn, 6-A grade. FROM A SIX YEAR OLD. Dear Aunt Polly: I am six years old. I have two little sisters. My name is Robert II. Horton.

Baying Some Eggs Once upon a time there was a little girl and boy. They lived in the country and their father was dead. They were poor and their mother sent them to the grocery to get some eggs. They did not havo enough money, and they cried. Some lady came up to them and said, "What Is the matter?" They said y did not have enough monf io buy some eggs and the lady said not to cry, because she would give them some money and they coud get somo eggs. So they got the eggs, and then went homo and told their mother all about it. John Floyd Brown. 2A, Starr School.

An Easter "Lark" Last Sunday some boys and I hiked out to Morton Lake. On the way wo found a shovel. When we got there we built a fire and cooked i dinner. Then we were going to the river. I stepped in a hole. One of boys said, "Let's build a furnace." We went to work and dug the hole bigger. We flattened the bottom. By that time it was time to come home. We are going to fry egg3 in the furnace on Easter. Horace Webb. GB, Warner School. RIDDLES. 1. What has a thousand legs and cannot walk? , j 2. What goes upstairs on its head ! every day? 3.

The whole world is like a common family sitting at a common table. If one takes too much and another as much as he wants, there will be some one that will get less, or do without. ; Mary Louise Snavely, 3rd Grade. EARLY AT SCHOOL. Through pathways green and very cool, Miss Daisy trips along to school. She is in haste, for she would hate To stop and play and be marked late. All children should learn well this rule, - And never be late at their school. Selected by Dorothy Walton. 3B, Whitewater School.
