The Wishes of Three Voodcatters Throe woodcutters once spent a rainy hour in wishing. The first man said, "I wish for twenty thousand chest3 full of gold and silver and diamonds." The second man said, "I wish all the leaves of the trees were paper and all the brooks ran ink. Then I'd make paper money out of them and buy all the treasures of the world. Can you do better than that Robert?" "No," said Robert, "I.must content myself with very little. I wish that you were my father, Henry, and George was my uncle. Then all your gold and silver and jewels and money would be mine when you died." Margaret Saurer. 4 A, Warner School.

A Daughter of France Once upon a time there was a little girl and her name was Fanny. She was about nine years old and very poor. She had no Dolls or playthings. She was a little French girl. One day she went out in the woods to gather some flowers. And while she was there she heard the sounds of horses' feet. She looked around and saw some men coming on horseback. There was a little shack not far off, so she ran to it. These men on horseback were Ger mans. There was some hay on the floor, she hid in it and finally the men came to the shack. When they got there they began to talk about what the were going to do to Paris that night. She listened for a long time, for they did not see her. They told each other that they would meet there again tomorrow and then they parted. So when they had gone Fanny got up and ran down towards the stream. She was going to the French camps. She found a row boat there, and she got in it and rowed to the other side, and ran up the bank, and in another minute she was in the camps and telling her story. All the soldiers were listening to her story. So they took the little girl by the hand and went to the shack. So they waited for the Germans to come and pretty poon they cams and there was an awful fight, but all the Germans got killed and the little girl was called the bravest child in Paris. Grace E.

"Yes, but what can we play?" May asked. "Noah's Ark," said Tom. "I don't know how," said May. "It's easy to learn," answered Tom. "All right' said May. Get all the animals you can find," said Tom. "What will be the Ark?" asked May. "The table will serve for the Ark," Tom answered. May came back with thebrown Teddy bear and white woolly lamb, Tom's pig bank and her candy hen and the flannel elephant. Tom called Puss. He told him he wanted him for a tiger. And they took their dog for a fox. They had a good time after all. Agnes Iluber. SB, Vaile School. JAPANESE SONG The following song was written by an Empress of Japan, for school girls, and is now sung in many schools of that country: "The water placed in goblet, bowl or cup, Changes its shape to its receptacle, And so our plastic souls take various shapes And characters of good or ill, to fit The good or evil in the friends we choose. Therefore be careful in your choice of friends. And let your special love be given to those Whose strength of character may prove the whip That drives you onward to fair Wisdom's goaL

The pictures were taken from another plane. Airplane photography is giving the folk who haven't take up flying some idea of how it feels and seems up in the clouds and makes it possible to record someof the thrilling feats of airmen.

It began about four o'clock, when all the children had a grand march, which was led by Lestra Hibberd and Charles Druitt. After this they played, "Farmer in the Dell." Charles Druitt was the farmer. Then came the egg hunt on the lawn in front of the Club House. Dozens of eggs were hidden all aroung in the long grasses and shrubbery, real eggs colored all kinds of bright colors. Evelyn Carr who found fifteen, and Margaret Magaw, who found one, received little baskets with little brown, really live rabbits in them. After the egg hunt, all the little guests (and their mothers, too) went into the club rooms, which were decorated very prettily with sprays of peach blossoms and red bud. At one end of the room was a bower that was a mass of fragrant spring blossoms, and here the children were served with ice cream cones, sugar cookies in the shape of rabbits, and candy Easter eggs. In the center of th r" 1. a grab bag was arranged, from which were streamers of ribbon. Each child took a streamer, and then they pulled, and everyone found a little present at the end of his ribbon. There were whistles, balloons, animals on wheels and all kinds of interesting things. Then the children all gathered in a circle while Mary Mather, in other words, Aunt Molly, told them stories. The younger guests, the ones who could

My Country Visit Saturday I went to the country. They had five pigs, three cows and five ducks. When I got there, the cows were not in the pasture, so I called my aunt and told her that the cows were not in the pasture. So she went to make them go in the pasture, so I got at the side of them so they could not get away. When they were in, I played some with the cows and pigs, and ate my dinner, played some more, ate my supper, stayed up a little more and went to bed. In the morning I awoke, dressed up, and went out to milk the cows. She milked and then I milked. She went in and cooked the meal and when we got through we played and after wo ate our dinner we went and got the car and went home. William Salzarulo. 5A, Whitewater School. BABY-LAND.
