First of New Victory Loan

The notes which Americans are asked to purchase In the coming Liberty Loan drive are now being printed. The work was started officially by Secretary of the Treasury Glass a few days ago. He watched the printing of the first one and removed it from the press.

Mary Jane's House Party The guest had arrived and every one had come. The 'kids,' as Mary Jane called them, were delighted with Mary Jane's home and city. Mary Jane told them that she was going to take them somewheres every day. , "For," said she, "I'm not going to let ' you go homo until you have seen all of this city." Now, I said that Mary Jane lived lin a town about as big as Rich mond, but I didn't say where the town was nor its name. But I have held the secret too long and so I will tell you. The city is our own dear Richmond. Haven't you guessed before? The first place Mary Jane went was for a picnic in the Glen Miller Park. They took their bathing suits along, so they could go swimming in the swimming pool. The children liked the playground because it was different from the ones in New York City. About an hour after lunch they set off for the swimming pool. Most of the girls did not know how to swim, but the boys did The girls played around in what is called the baby pool. It is not very deep and is for children. Mary Jane had on water-wings and so she was permitted to go a little bit farther out in the pool. But Mary Jane went a little bit too far. All of a sudden the water wings in some way got away from her. She could not swim. She struggled and went under. As she went under a small boy dived in to rescue her. She had not come up yet and it was feared that she had drowned. The boy was now swimming fast toward the spot where Mary Jane had gone under. He was a half a yard from it when Mary Jane came up again. The boy gave three big glides and caught her just as she was about to go under for the third time. Then he swam to shore with her. Mrs. Crassby who was by this time very much frightened, ran up to the boy and held out her arms for him to give Mary Jane to her. "I can't missus," he refused, "I'll have to help regain her conscious ness.'' He began working with her and soon she slowly opened her eyes, "Keep back." he commanded to the crowd, "She must have air." And the people obeyed like serv ants. The very first thing Mary Jane said was, "Where are my wings?" Then soon she found out where she was. A taxicab was ordered to take her home, and Mrs. Cros by told the boy to get In, to see that she was comfortable. But that was only an excuse. She really wanted to know who the boy was who had so readily risked his life to SAve her daughter. After Mary Jane had been carefully put to bed, Mrs. Crossbhy qnestioned the boy. She found out that his name was William, that his parents both were dead. He had no home, just wandered about

Press by Treasurer Glass and begged for his meals. And he was only thirteen, poor boy! Mrs. Crossby sighed and a tear was in her eye as she heard the name of William. Then a sudden thought came to her. Why not keep this boy for her own. He belonged to no one. Then he shall belong to someone! "My boy," said she, "I want you to stay here and live with me. Will you? You and your name has a great effect on me which someday I will tell you." "Do you mean it?" he asked. Then he told how people had abused him and called him names. Would he live with her? Of course he would! An he cried for joy. "And what is your last name, my boy?" she asked. "I do not know," he replied. (To be Continued.) More Boy Scouts; More Fan, Too Scoutmaster Vigran, who has been a loyal and interested leader of Troop No. 3 for a long time, has at last been forced by business to give up his work. To him is given much credit for keeping alive the interest in Boy Scouts during the last strenuous years. He is a great favorite with the boys. Last Tues day the troop gave a farewell party for him at the home of Robert Sax ton. About twenty boys attended the party. Troop 3 lost to Marion with a score of 19-23, in the Junior BasketBail tournament at New Castle and Marion lost in the finals to Anderson in a score of 23-4. Marion had played several games before the finals and was tired out according to Lewis Wilson, manager of the local team. But why tell all these discour aging things when there is something so much nicer to tell? The beet news we have kept till the last. The local team had quite an honor even if they did lose in the tournament. Dale Harkins has been placed on the second All-State team. Congratulations ! Two new Scout Troops are formed. They are: Troop 1, which is made up of fourteen boys of the Grace M. E. church, with Mr. A. B Craig as Scout Master, and Troop No. 2 under Scout Master W. D. Scobel, made up of seventeen boys of the First Christian church. Mr. Scobel says that several boys are all ready for their tenderfoot tests Other troops are being formed in the folowing churches: First Presbyterian, Reid Memorial, South Eighth Street Friends, St. Paul's Lutheran, First English Lutheran and United Brethren. These troops expect to help In the Fifth Victory Loan Campaign, and their leaders are already considering a suitable place to go ramping. The camp will be in June. - j

Baxter Believes in Community Service We should keep our yard clean, our street and alley too. Pick up the paper out of our yard. We should keep our yard clean so it would help the city be clean. Mary Reba Evans. 2d Grade, Baxter School. COMMUNITY SERVICE. You can help the community by swatting flies. They carry germs with them. You can get rid of them by putting sticky fly paper down. Some of them live in swampy places. You can get rid of them by draining the places. Maurice Bortner 3d. Grade. A CLEAN TOWN It is necessary that we should keep our town clean. We should not spit on the sidewalks because it brings germs. We should pick up all the papers that we see. We should pick up all kinds of peelings and broken glass because it will puncture auto tires. We should not mark up bains and fences. If we mindT these rules we will have a prettye town. Richmond is known as one of the prettiest towns in the state, and we want it to stay one of the prettiest towns. We want it to be a beautiful town and a healthful town. We want to swat all the flies because they are germ carriers. If we kill one fly we are killing thousands because one fly hatches thousands of flies. Flies stay around filthy places like garbage cans and manure boxes, and stagnant water. We must keep

our garbage cans and manure boxes covered. So we must all try to get rid of them. Roma J. Mabey. 4th grade. KEEP SCHOOL YARD CLEAN. Richmond is called one of the cleanest cities and we want to keep it clean. There are different ways which is keeping the lawns beautified, keeping the school-yards clean and keeping the alleys clean. ; I ma going to talk about keeping the school-yard clean. We should never throw banana skins or anything like that on the school ground, we should throw them in the waste basket. One reason why we should do this is because it makes the city look clean. Another reason is it does not spread disease. We want every person to help keep the city clean. If we want to do this we should be a good Junior Red Cross and a good soldier. We should all help. How many will? Ruth Hamilton. 5th grade. CIVIC PRIDE. You should have a great deal of pride in your house and street and yard. You should not leave old toys and stones in your yard. Do not drive nails in the house. Sweep off your sidewalks and plant flowers in your yard. Sprinkle the grass so it will look fresh and green all the time. Have a garbage can in the alley to put your garbage in so it will not be all over the alley. Have vines on your porches. Have everything neat and clean, paint the back fence. If you do all these things and many more, I am sure you will not be ashamed of your house and yard. Amy Greene. 6th grade. COMMUNITY BETTERMENT. We Ked Cross workers are striving to better our city or com munity. I am going to tell some important things which every woman, man or child can take part in that would help to better our city. The first thing is to keep it clean, i Keep the streets clean. When you have papers, banana peelings, or any waste that you don't want, take care not to throw it in the street or on the sidewalk. It causes germs of many diseases, which the pepole are apt to get It doesn't lok nice and for these rea sons we should all take part and keep them clean. We should keep our yards clean. We should keep all the papers and waste picked up. When we do this it adds a great deal more beauty to our homes and the entire city. We should keep our alleys clean. We should not leave the garbage cans uncovered. There are a class of boys that don't care for nasty things that come through the alleys and if they see a garbage can

they walk up to it and tip it over, Then the garbage is left for the flies. The flies will carry the germs from it into our homes where wo are apt to get a dreadful disease. If the boy is what he ought to be he will pick a can of garbage up and cover it up instead of doing the other thing. So for these reasons let us all try hard to make our city clean and pleasant. Reba Morgan. 6th grade.

TRIXIE AND I. I am a little girl eight years old. I have a little dog, he is three weeks old. His name is Tiixie. He plays with me, aud he drinks milk. Edith Harris. 2B, Baxter School. Chapel Exercises at Joseph Moore All the rooms sang, "America the Beautiful." The teacher of the First Room played the victrola, while some of the children gave a moving picture show about cleaning up, as last week was "Clean Up Week." The Second Room's teacher played on the victrola, "On Wisconsin." The record didn't have the words, so the children sang the words. The children in the second grade acted out, "The Goats in the Turnip Field." The Third Room had the children who bought Thrift Stamps show their books and read a little verse about each one. Then we sang America, and be fore we were through, the fire bell rang and we marched out. We had a fire drill. Mary Haas. 4A5B, Joseph Moore School. A Farewell My fairest child, I have no song to give you; No lark could pipe to skies so dull and gray; Yet, ere we part, one lesson I can leave you For every day. Be good, sweet maid, and let who will he clever; Do noble things, not dream them, all day long; And so make life, death, and that vast forever One grand, sweet song. Selected by Paul G. Nicklas. 3d grade, St John's School. The Robin When father takes his spade to dig, Then robin comes along, He sits upon a little twig, And sings a little song. Or if the trees are rather few, He does not stay alone, But comes up close to where we are, And bobs upon a stone. Selected by. Theresina Porfidio. 5B, Whitewater School.
