She at list started on the way and when she reached the graveyard she took the flowers in, but in back of the tomb stone was a large white figure.

Valley of Bad Spirits, Once Just a hole in the ground, or Na-ki-mu in Indian parlance, yet the object of mystery, fear, curiosity and interest. This in brief, describes one of the natural wonders of the Canadian Pacific Rockies. Mystery and fear marked the Indians' attitude, curiosity prompted the white man to investigate the hole, interest brings many visitors annually to visit the Nakimu Caves. Once upon a time in 1904 to be exact there came into the Selkirk Mountains near Glacier in British Columbia, a man who had hunted, prospected and explored the mountains from Colorado to the Arctic Circle. His name was Charles H. Deutschmann and in his association with the Indians he had heard many tales of a Valley of Bad Spirits, of Na-ki-mu in which these spirits lived and from whence issued The Easter Eggs There was once a rabbit. It wa3 not tame. It was a wild rabbit. The rabbit lived in the woods. There were some little children that were very poor. They thought that the rabbit did not lay eggs, and one day they went out in the woods to see if the rabbit did lay eggs. That was one day before Easter, and the children got some Easter eggs for Easter. Elizabeth Toney. 4B, Sevastopol SchooL THE LIBERTY LOAN. When comes the Victory Liberty Loan, With call to finish the job, Each devil-dog and dough- boy, Will buy still another Bond. Selected, William Salzarulo. 5A, Whitewater School. CALORIES. 1 r Oh dear, I think I'd go to war, If I were twenty, 'stead of four, I heard my mamma say she sees That I always eat my calories. It's eating stuff like that I dread, I'd rather have just milk and bread. Sent in by Eva Heeger. 5B, Warner school.

the Indians' Bogey, Now the Tourists's Delight

to solve the mystery. The Indians shunned the place. "Ha-lo Kla-wa-ta," meaning "no go" was their dogged answer when asked to accompany anyone into this, to them, fearsome place. So Deutschmann went alone. He found the spirits to be whisperings made by shifting air currents in a narrow canyon; he found Na-ki-mu to be the entrance to a series of wonderful caves which he has been exploring and charting ever since. Today he acts as guide to the tourists who come from Glacier along the eight mile trail beside the dancing waters of Cougar Creek, to visit these caves 5,500 feet above sea level. The caves. are formed of metamorphosed marbleized lime, the walls being covered with incrustations of calcium carbonate in pale yellow, pink, white and black. Girls Included! The Garfield girls are to be in the annual Garfield Field Meet, according to Miss Wickemeyer, for the first time in the history of said meets. This announcement is so startling that we are not going to do anything else except ac ounce it now. We will announce the events later. SPRINGTIME. It isn't raining rain to me, , It's raining daffodils; In every dimpled drop I see Wild flowers on the hills. The clouds of gray engulf the day, And overwhelm the town; It isn't raining rain to me It's raining roses down. Selected by Mary V. Estell. 2A Starr School. EASTER DAY. Lilies that bloom for the Easter Day, Souls of plants from the miry clay. "Look, little child," they seem to say, "Your SDirit may bloom in some such way!" E. F. ! ' Selected by (. Rosella Lunis.

When the guide waves his torch their grumblings. He determined back and forth, pictures of indescribable beauty are revealed. The first cave is a sort of ante-chamber, being but eighty-seven feet underground; the second cave, 300 feet down, is an imposing vault 30 feet wide and 120 feet high. Cougar Creek, now of Stygian blackness, flows through the caves and adds to their wierdness. Huge icicles form a year round decoration. The air i3 fresh and cold and visitors need warm clothing. The caves may be visited from the middle of June to the last of September. Botanists and naturalists find the Nakimu region a paradise and Deutschmann is a peerless guide for those who wish to Btop over and hunt for blossoms, bugs or bears. The Easter Rabbit Pretty are the colored eggs, And the Easter flowers Bloom in spite of chilly winds, And the snow flake's showers. Pretty are Dame Nature's ways. Interesting he habits, But oh, what would Easter be, Without the Easter rabbits? Marjorie Dartand. Middleboro School. JOHN'S GOOD PLAN. John was going by a lot. He saw what the other boys had raised in their lot, so when John got home, he asked his mother if he could make a garden. His mother said he might. So he got the ground ready and then got some seeds, and with what he raised, he bought Thrift Stamps. Richard Noggle. 4B, Finley. LOST AND FOUND. Once a boy had a dog. He put it in a box. The next day he got up and went to find the dog but it was gone. He saw the root prinis. He went to bed. He got up that night, and went to take the box away. The dog was there. Orlan3A grade.

Girl Scoats Sew (or The Roumanians The box of little dresses that the girls of the local troop of Girl Scouts have made for little girls in Roumania Is all full now. It was sent away Thursday morning, April 17, and contained: 12 gingham dresses, 2 aprons, 2 middy skirts, 3 middies and 3 little waists The box is very attractive looking, and will make some little girls across the water very happy, we think; especially when those little girls find out that these dresses were made by the girls of Richmond, "all by themselves." These dresses represent for many of the girls the first sewing they have ever done. Next Thursday afternoon the girls will take their second class tests at the home of Captain Jonea on North Tenth street, after which they will have a taffy pull.

G. A. A, Banquet Is Announced The annual G. A. A. Banquet will be given on May 24, according to Miss Wickemeyer, girls physical training teacher. A good time will be held in the gym, which will be followed by just as good a time (at least that!) in the Lunch Room where s the "eats" will be served. At this banquet, Miss Wickemeyer gives the Efficiency Pins rt t th deserving ones. (The tests for these pins are progressing splendidly, Miss Wickemeyer says.) She awards the G. A. A. Scout Badges then, too, and the G. A. A. Officers' badges. The new officers will be elected at the same time. No real program is made out as yet. That will be announced later. "Ho! Ho!" quoth the bunny, with eyes wisely winking, With whiskers and ears very straight, And his manner quite stiff and "Ho! Ho;" quoth the bunny, "Indeed I've been thinking!" "Happy Easter to you, all yon girls and you boys! And though I'd not tell, if you asked it, What I'm hiding here in my basket, can wish you an Easter that's brimful of joys." Fresh Freshies By Butch and Butz We are here again my friends. I guess you think us dead. But to tell the truth about it, we just lost our pens. Of . course we found them just where they were put. We like to know why it Is that Rolland Osborne and Butz Weidner take their evening strolls alone. Please why not get a date with her? Tony Hoff and Butz Weidner are the proud new owners of new, squeeking, squeezing shoes. They feel grand, they say! . Mary Cooper does not admire working in commercial arithmetic. We wonder why? She is a fine lady of leisure. Isabelle Moore declares that she is very fond of planting radishes. Pauline Thomas seems to know most every thing; for that reason she is called, "Information Nnmber Nine." A certain boy seems fond of asking: "Do you know what day this Tli a nnawpr In ftlwavn the same: "Yes, the 17th of May." Joe Huth says, "I am very fond of front seats, as I have to be." He is patriotic as be is "at the fronL" Wrhy does Dick Brady enjoy frightening certain girls into a faint with his pet snakes? Please be more polite, Dicky Boy.
