French Girls Make Posters In the, Jierfon Art Institute in Intiianapolis right now are some very interesting posters. They were made by French blrls whose ages run from ten to sixteen years, and who attend the public schools of Paris. The posters are the gift of the French government and their subjects are different phases of war conservation. There are twelve posters in all, and they are very attractive and picture very closely the idea that the artist wanted, to bring out. We are familiar with most of the things that these posters ask people to conserve meat, sugar, oil, gas, tobacco, steel and coal. One askes everyone to cultivate a "potager" or kitchen garden, or na we call it, a back yard garden. One especially expressive one was drawn by Camille Boutet, rep-.

resenting several little children looking at , very tempting window full of candy. Underneath" in French was printed, "We will unhesitatingly deprive our selves of it." Another one is the picture of a reat big steaming dish of potatoes drawn by Yvonne Vernet, fourteen years old. This one reads, "Let us save bread by eating potatoes." One of the cleverest ones was a picture of a hen sitting on a grgat pile of eggs. This was made Ty G. Douanne, sixteen years old. Above the hen is printed, '"Let us take good care of our poultry. Below the picture is printed, "I am a good little hen of the war. I eat little and produce much."

The wonderful visit to the Earl-

ham Museum was over. Even the boys got to go.

Every one seemed happy this

bright May day. Why it was no

one could tell. But I think I can tell you one thing that made them happy. They were going N to see

Aunt Polly. Now wouldn t that make anyope on earth happy? The children were all out playing. They wanted to play base

ball, so they sent William after

the ball and bat. As he passed the parlor door on his way back he heard these words: "Have you found out anything .about William, yet?" 'asked Mrs. Carew of her husband. "No, I haven't, dear," he answered. "I have hired detectives to look into the matter. I have tried very hard to find someone that is related to him, but without success." "I know you have, Jack," said Mrs. Carew, "In one way I am glad, because I would hate to part with him. have begun to love him very much and if I would have to part with him It would break my heart." "That is the way I feel, too," said Jack.

William did not hear anymore

He took the ball and bat to the

eager, waiting children, and hoi lered, "I'll be back in a minyte."

, He went up to his room and

then came down to the parlors. He

handed an envelope to Mrs. Carew

and said: "I heard what you said about hat

ing to part with me. Daddy gave me this envelope Just before he

died, and he told me to give it to the first person that would give me a home and would love me enough that I could return the love. You are the first one that has done this since father died, so I want you to read the letter." "You read It first, Jack," she

said. "I feel as if something Is go

ing to happen.

As Jack readB the letter we yill

read It with him.

To whom it may concern:

As I write this letter rfeel as if

I can not live much longer. I have

no one to leave my boy in care of except a sister in Richmond, Indiana. She may not want him

though, for I - had a quarrel with her years ago, and I have never

heard from her since. Ever since

I have been sorry, but I was afraid

to ask forgiveness, although I knew she would forgive me. If my sister will not take my boy will you? Whoever you are may heaven reward you. Mr. Ed. Wieller. "Read It, mother," said Mr. Cross-

A back yard strawberry patch for the city dweller.

If you are one of those strawberry fiends who would like a nice big shortcake every day from early sinumer until snow flies you can have them by planting the ever-bearing variety In barrels in your own back yard. The berries are easily cultivated and two barrels will yield a quart of berries a day. Fill the barrels full of rich, loamy soil.

by, "William's aunt lives some

where in Richmond."

Mrs. Crossby read it.

"Why, why," she stammered,

"Oh, William you are my nephew."

And she caught him in her arms

By this time the kids grew tired a

waiting for William and so they came after him. Much amazed were they about the turning of affairs. But this made the day happier for

them, and they trotted out to tell "Aunt Polly" all about it. THE END

Nurse says years before I came, This house and sky were Just the

same, The garden roses too;

And other children played and hid

Among the lily leaves and did The things I like to do. And often at the close of day, When I am taken in from play, And all my games are done, I see them playing Bhuttle-cock

Or hide-and-seek around the clock,

That answers to the sun. Robert Nlewoehner. First Grade.

The Useful Sponge Sponges are found in the Medit

erranean sea, and many come from the Bahama islands. Those found in the Mediterranean sea are the best. Those coming from the Bahama islands are coarse. Sponges grow in water from 150 to 200 feet deep. They are skeletons of soft, jellylike creatures. They grow in various forms. Some spherical, globular, cup-shaped, conical, topshaped, cylindrical and threadlike. The surface of a living sponge Is covered with minute pores, through which water is imbibed, carrying with it both the air and the organic particles necessary to

the support of life. The color is yellow or brownish yellow. Men are trained from chilhood to dive after sponges. The diver takes down with him a large, triangular ' shaped stone. This serves as a sinker. To this a cord from the boat is attached. When he reaches the growing sponges, he tears them off the rocks, and places them under his arm, then he pulls at the rope, which gives the signal to his companions in the boat to haul him up. The Greeks of Morea, instead of diving, obtain sponges by a pronged instrument, but the sponges are torn, and sell at a low price. They are kept in the air till soft parts rot away. Then they are beaten with a stick, bleached and dried. They are used in washing automobiles, wagons and carriages, and they are also used in bathing. In surgery, sponges are of great value, not only for removing blood in operations, but also for checking hemorrhages. Anna Nicklas. St.' John's School.

My Mother There is a lady fair to see, My mother! And she does watch and care for me, My mother! Whenever I am very ill, She'll sit up nights with me she will, And when I'm bad, ehe loves me still, My mother! Sometimes I'm awful mean to her, I am, I'm mean to my own mother, Yes I am! i And afterwards I feel so bad, ,

To think I made my mother sad, i

I do my best to make more glad, My darling mother! Editor's Note This poem was
