A Tenderfoot Once there was a man owned a ranch. And he had twcnty-ftve men to help him. A man came and wanted a job. The ranch owner talked to him. After while ho asked him if he could ride a wild horse or train a colt. The man said he did not know whether Ik could or not. The ranch owner said, "It is getting late. We better go in and eat supper and then go to bed." That night the cowboys heard that there was a new man on the ranch. They all got together and made up a scheme. They slipped in the room where the man was and they jerked him out of bed and made a line and threw him from one to another till he was outside, then they all pulled out ther guns and began shooting at his i'eet. The ranch owner heard the shooting and came running out and made them quit and they all did. They all went back to their bunks and slept very well until morning. The man was shivering all over until morning. That morning he was mad. When he ate breakfast he told the owner that ho was not going to stay here long, lief oi e he left the cowpunchers came up behind him and put him on a bronco and let it go. lie fell off. lie was madder than ever, lie went to the house. He got his suitcase and went to the train and went away. Ather Reeg. Oar Baseballs At Warner we haven't any baseballs. The reason we, haven't any Is that the school is in the middle of the square. It has streets all around it. A freight station is right across from us. There are also some sewers all around us. The mouths of them are wide open and our baseballs go right down them. I think the sewer men should put covers on the sewers. I mean put wire covers on them. Here is a verse about the balls: Our baseballs are fewer. Because of the sewer. Edward Lovin. 6B, Warner School.

What may happen if a hoe or rake is left lying on the ground is shown in this picture. A rake with sharp teeth often bites through good shoe leather. When the carpenter is through working he carefully cleans his tools and puts them away in a box because he wants them to be in good condition for work the next day. A hoe or spade left overnight in the garden is sure to be rusted and in poor condition for use. Garden . tools not in use should be placed upright against the fence or house. At night they should be placed indoors.

The Life of a Dog One morning when I was going to school, I met a little dog. I did not have much time, so I hurled on, the dog at my heels. When I got to school, he followed me up the stairs. The teacher told me to put him out. But I said I would not. The teacher said she would then. She did not get very far with it. The little dog ran to me and I put him under my shirt, and she could not find him. "Where is that little dog," she said. I said I would not tell. After school was out I took him home, and we all had a great deal of fun. And me and my little dog lived happy ever after. And when he died I had him buried in a casket and a tombstone. Authur unknown. Children Go To Purdue Several hundred Juniors from all parts of Indiana will go to Purdue University for four days, from April 21-25. They expect to hear all kinds of interesting things, and to have a great deal of fun, too. The boys and girls will hear lectures about livestock, farming in general, chickens, orchards, and the girls will have special classes in baking, sewing, canning, home nurBing, preparation of school lunches, and many other interesting subjects. it isn't going to be all work and no play, though, for in between times the hundreds of boys and girls that will be there will play all kinds of games. One evening they are to be guests of the University students and will enjoy an egg barbacue. Sounds good, doesn't it? SERVICE. Small service is true service while it lasts, Of humblest rriends, bright creatures, scorn not one. The daisy, by the shadow that it casts, Protect as the lingering dewdrops from the sun.

Alice and Her

Thrift Stamps Once upon a time thore was a little girl named Alice, she was six years old, she was just beginning to go to school. When she had gone to school for a week the teacher asked the children if they had any Thrift stamps and all the children had them but Alice. This made Alice feel very sadi so that night when Bhe went home she told her mother about it, and her mother said if she would bo a nice little girl she would get her a Thrift Stamp every day. That made the little girl very happy, but the next day after school she played on the way home, she was not home until half past four and her mother was worried about her for she was usually home at half past three. But pretty soon here came Alice and her mother asked her where she had been and Alice said she had to stay in at school, her mother was sure she did not and said, "Are you sure?" And Alice said "yes." That night she asked her mother for her Thrift Stamp, so she gave it to her. A few days later her mother found out that Alice had been playing on the way home that night, so she did not give her a Thrift Stamp for a week, and Alice said she would never tell a story again. Virginia Howells. Joseph Moore School. Scouts Run Govern ment in Their City Would there be a panic if the the municipal authorities in our city should hand over the reins of the local government to Boy Scouts? For two hours on a recent Satur day afternoon in Lancaster, Pa., scouts broke into politics. They took over all the departments of the "City Government without a single disastrous result. Hon H. L. Trout, mayor of the city, gave up his chair, while the city comptroller, superintendent of schools, chief of police, fire chief and other officers also stepped aside in favor of scouts. Perhaps the best visible demonstration of Scouting ability afforded by this unique experiment was the remarkable coolness with which the scout traffic cops commanded crowded street corners. First aid exhibitions were also given in public places. Wouldn't you like to try something like that in the immediate future? Drop in and see His Honor and hear what he has to say about it. Scouting. Willie's Adventure "Now Willie dear, said his mama, "I'm going out, I'll not go far; And when I'm gone, mind what I say, Stay inside the gate and play." In vain, 'twas only wasting time, So over it he tried to climb. It wouldn't do, he was so fat. He soon gave up all hopes of that. So he and Jim, they scratched away Till piles of dirt around them lay; Under the fence they dug a hole, And through it naughty Willie stole. But Willie dear had lost all wish To mix mud pies in his tin dish. He watched his mother out of sight Then pushed the gate with all his might. Just then came trotting up to him His little dog, black, curly Jim. And Willie quickly made this plan, "I'll have Jim help me, for he can." Jim quickly followed, full of play, And down the street, they took their way, 'Twas full two hours ere they were found. Willie was seated on the ground Watching the merry children play, In Allyn Park, a mile away. Davy. Age thirteen years. A Little Robin Yesterday I saw a robin Up in a tree. As far as I could see. He was so large, I long to see him once again. I would like to see him every day. But I guess I cannot. So I will bo satisfied. With seeing him once a year. Edward Reia. Room 3, St. Andrew's SchooL

I played around the river. I wanted to get across the creek, so I got on my bicycle and started. . I came closer and closer to the river. Finally I rode in. But ill luck! There was quick sand at the shore. My front wheel sunk in and I was thrown in. I got the worst ducking I ever had with my clothes on. I had to go to the postofflce to get dry. Then I went home. That was all the cport I had that day. You Like Potatoes; Why Not Grow 'em? Elgie Coacher, of Mitcehll. South Dakota, took the state championship last season in boys' and girls' potato-raising clubs.
