Tho ed .or will try to answer questlol ft readers ot tho Junior submit to her. She will not promise to answer all of them. The qu stlons will be answered in rotal .on, so do not expect the answer to bo printed in the same week in which you send It In. Where Is the Kaiser now? Thank you, R. T. Dear R. T.: We would probably like to say that he is in Halifax or St. Helena or Mars, or any other distant and lonely place. But we can t say it since it isn't true. He happens to be perfectly safe, for he ran away from Germany like a thief in the night at the first sign of trouble there. He went to stay with a friend of his, and he is still there unless he left last night. The friend's name is Count Bentinck and he lives in a castle. The cas tle's name is Amerongen Castle in Holland. Anyway we're glad it is Count Bentinck and not we who happen to be his host, aren't we? Aunt Polly. Dear Aunt Polly: What does flag stand for? Yours truly, Blanche Cosgrove. Dear Blanche: Well, flags stand for ever and ever bo many things, and some of these things are fine and some are not Somehow a spirit seems to get Into those banners with their different colors that calls out all the time what the nation that hoisted them, stands for. Flags really speak, don't they? Have you ever thought what our own bright, brave flag says as it waves in the air? It calls out "I mean Liberty. "And our flag has always said that. No other flag has spoken such a message of Liberty to the world as Old Glory. "All men are created free and equal it cries, "come on and make it so," and it has gone all over the United States, and to many other countries and seas, held up by millions of hands that believe in the things for which it stands and that are willing to give everything they have to make these things real. Our flag stands for the past and the present and the future. And this is the wav it does it. The thirteen stripes of red and white represent the very beginning of our country when it was made up of thirteen small colonies. The present is represented in the forty-eight stars that stand for the number of states that make up our splendid nation today. The future is foretold by all the wonderful things for which our flag stands, all the things that we want our nation to be, and which we are gradually making real. The stars mean "light," and that is what our country needs so it can. see to go ahead. The colors speak too. Red says, "Be brave;" White says, "Be pure;" Blue says, "Be true." Isn't it wonderful, all these things that aur flag stands for? Aunt Polly. Dear Aunt Polly: Have you a father, a mother, a brother or a sister? If so, what are their full names? What Is your full name? How old are you? Thank you. M. H. Dear M. H.: Perhaps no one owns me, But maybe they do. , I'm just like the woman, , Who lived in a shoe. With children all round her, 'Cept these are more jolly. An old shoe is my home, . , My name, it is Polly. ! I came down to earth. And I'm not a bit sorry. And this, dear M. Is my story. Aunt Polly. ON THEIR VACATION. The first and second grades of Hibberd school were out on a vacation all day Tuesday on account of their teachers going to to Indianapolis to visit the schools there.

Jack, The Fire Dog Once there were some firemen who had a dog and they called it Jack. It would go with them to every Are and help to save tho people. One day there was a fire, and Jack went along. The fire was burning hard and the firemen thought that they had all the people out safe. Jack went in and found a little boy who was hid in the smoke. So he came out and barked so as to tell them that there was someone in the house. The men followed him and found the little boy. The boy was blind. The dog was glad of what he had done. They took him home with them. They could not find out who his father and mother were. So they kept him there awhile. So one day, Mr. White came and took him away. Jack cried very pitiful. As they were going home they saw two children, a girl and boy, They were going to buy some bread and cake. Mr. White drove up and stopped. He said to the girl, "Are you hungry?" The girl said, "Yes, Mr." Mr. White went in and got some cakes and bread and .gave it to them. They thanked him and went away eating them as if they were starved. Mr. White went home and said, "I have brought home a new boy." Mrs. White was glad. In four or five years, Mr. and Mrs. White were out riding. A pigeon was flying over them crying so. Mr. White said, "I wonder why that bird Is following us." After awhile it lit on a windowsill and cried so Mr. White went to the window and there sat a woman with long white hair. Mr. White said, "How do you do?" Mrs. Miller said, "Come in." So Mr. and Mrs. White went in. Mrs. Miller said, "That is my boy." So Mr. and Mrs. White went home sad. Mildred Myers. St. Andrew School.

Betty's Visit to Fairyland Once upon a time there lived in a little town, a little girl named Betty. Her father was dead and her mother had to work hard each day. While her mother was working Betty would do the house work. Till one day a fairy came in and said, "Would you like to go to fairy land?" Betty, with joy, said "Yes.". They first went to the house of the. queen of fairies. She was very beautiful and had a sweet temper. Then they went to the bottom of the sea and there they saw fairies too, But the first place they went was not at the bottom of the sea, but was up in the air. That's where the queen lived. They went in one room and: there they saw gold by bushels. But they did not stay there very long. The last room they went to was a garden full of flowers and there the fairy left Betty and gave her a ring. Frances Drifmeyer. 6B, Finley School. DISTRICT NO. 4 CUT UPS. Dot and Billy. Yellow Jacket our teacher, Is fond of having soldier boys visiting school. We don't know why it is. War has been declared between Yellow Jacket, our teacher, and W. We have no idea when the armistice is going to be signed. DISTRICT NO 4 FROLICS. Muckleberry and Blue Bonnet We will certainly admire your wisdom, Leatha, for we heard you were cutting a wisdom tooth. The clock of No. 4 has the spring fever we think, because it refuses to run only about half the time. Eernlce Becson Is very fond of whispering in Bchool hours. We are afraid she will be a gossip when she grows older. Howard Beeson says he Is going to be like Christopher Columbus when he is a man. We hope he won't die broken-hearted like Columbus did. Dorothy, we were certainly surprised to hear that Moses invented the telegraph.
