Birds, Oar Friends Eirds are found In groves, fields and forests in warm and temperate regions. The body of the bird Is soft, and has two feet, two wings, and also a tail and a bill. Birds build nests, lay eggs, swallow food without chewing it, fly to warmer countries; as the weather changes so do the customs of birds change. Falcon, hawk and eagle are the birds of prey. Toucan, cuckoo, parrot and robin are birds that climb. Robin, canary, and .wren are perchers, and guinea, turkey and hen are schatchers. - Partridge, pigeon and heron are' waders. About ten thousand kinds of birds are divided into birds of prey, runners, climbers, waders, swimmers, perchers, and scrotchers. Robin, canary, bluejay, pigeon, and eagle are well known birds. In the summer birds eat insects, bugs and food. They build their nests about in the middle of March, the eagle builds Its nest on high cliffs and under eaves of houses. They make them of leaves, straw, wood and hay. The swimmers are ducks. Edith Metzger. Grade 4, St. Andrew's. The Rose There was once a poor woman, who had two children. The youngest went every day in the forest to , fetch wood. Once, when he had strayed far away looking for branches, a little, but strong and healthy child came . to him and helped him pick up wood, and carried the bundles up to the house. And then in less than a moment, it -was gone. The boy told his mother of this, but she would not believe it. At last the boy brought a rose, and told his mother that the i beautiful child had given It to him, and had said that when the rose was in full bloom, he woutd come again. The mother put the rose in water. One morning the child did not get out of bed, and the mother wat to it, and found it dead. But it lay looking quite happy and pleased. And that morning the rose was in full bloom. ; Thelma May. Warner School. 1. Round as an apple, deep as a cup. - Once there was a little girl. Her .' it UP. ' 2. Upon a hill there Is a black thing.

Mary's Easter Egg Mary found a new laid egg with shell as white as snow, And as she held it in her hand, that egg began to grow: Until it was as big as any ostrich! egg you ye ever seen, And soon it was no longer white, but yellow, pink and green: And in one end a window came through which wee Mary gased. And oh! the wondrous things she saw, her two eyes were amazed. She spied some chicks and ducks, and children playing in the grass. And next she called her playmate to peer through the magic glass. This magic change was all the work of Easter Bunny, see? He's always up to Easter tricks, that's plain as plain can be. Ruby Rothert St. Andrew's School.

FURNISH HOT FOOD TO

My Easter Day We got up early and found ten baskets and a live bunny. I ate my breakfast and went to Sunday school. When I got home. I found a basket of eggs and a crate of eggs. Then we had dinner and mother went for a ride. I went to the woods to gather flowers. When we went home we let bunny out to play. He would stand upon his hind legs. Louise E. Overman. Age 9, Joseph Moore School. The Flower Folk Hope is like a hare bell, trembling from its birth, Love is like a rose, the joy of all the earth; Faith is like a lily, lifted high and white, Love is like a lovely rose, the world's delight. Harebells and sweet lillies show thornless growth, But the rose with all its thorns excels them both. Mary Hodapp. 5 A, Finley School. In response for the last call for old clothing to be given to European refugees by the Red Cross Wayne county , shipped 3,450 pounds.

King George Once upon a time there was a king named King George. He lived in a beautiful palace trimmed in gold. He had all he wished, but yet he wanted more. At last he heard about another king, and he also heard that the other king's country was full of gold. So he started a war and got beaten. So it is better to be satisfied with what you have. Richard Noggle. 4B, Finley School. .Through the co-operation of the power plants of large factories, which have enforced all the recommendations of the United States Fuel administration, it is estimated that 7,000,000 tons yearly is saved. Boys and girls in the Lake Division, Junior Red Cross (the Division that includes Wayne county) made 1,000 interesting and artistic picture puzzles for convalescent soldiers in the hospitals of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. A doctor once said: "There are ten sources of infection," and he held up his ten fingers. Clean hands are the guardians of good health.

A Young Hero "Ben," called Ben's mother. "Yes, mother," was heard from tho woodshed. "Bring some wood for the fire while you are down there," said Ben's mother. While Ben was carrying a bundle of wood to the house, a large four story building caught on fire and the boys and girls were yelling at the top of their lungs. When Ben heard them yell, ho dropped his wood and ran to the building which was full of people yelling for help, for the stairway was full of smoke and they could not get down them. A large crowd was there, but none was brave enough to try to

help the people. Ben stood there no longer than a moment and then he dashed up the smoky stairway into the first room he came to and picked up a little girl and a baby and ran into the crowd and then after letting somebody hold the children, he made a second trip into another room. Then came the firemen who came up with him. Ben had just gotten up the fourth flight of stairs when he fell, for he could no longer stand the smoke. The firemen started to pick him up, but Ben said in a whisper, "Never mind me, go and save whoever is In the other rooms." The firemen seemed to take no heed in what he had said, but picked him up and carried him out of the blazing building. "Oh! here Is my brave little boy," said the girl whom Ben had saved, and she ran to him and kissed him about a hundred times. Ben, who was beginning to realize what was happening, jumped to his feet and ran home for the fire was out then. Ben was remembered all the rest of his life. Lloyd Slifer. JOKES. Teacher: "I am sorry, William, to have to whip a big boy like you. It grieves me terribly." William: "It don't grieve you half as much as it does me." "APRIL SHOWERS BRING" ? S-aid Flora to her brother Bob: "Robert, dear, what do April showers bring forth?" Bob: "Umbrellas, of course." "Pa," said little Jimmie, "I was very near going to the head of my class today." "How Is that, my son?" "Why a big word came all the way to me, and if I could have spelled It, I should have gone clear up." Contributed by Eugene Juerling. 6th Grade, St. Andrews' The Nohle Nature It is not growing like a tree, In bulk doth make man better be, Or standing long an oak, three hundred year, To fall a log at last, dry, bald and sear, A lily of a day, is fairer far in May, Although it fall and die that night, It was the plant and flower of light. In small proportions we just beauties see, And in short measures life may perfect be. Beatrice Merwin.
