-ovfc? f 40 KAnnitWhat I Want To Do This Summer This summer I want to go to Indianapolis. The reason I want to go is to see the Soldiers' and Sailors' monument, and the Post Office, and the other beautiful buildings. I think I will get to go. If I do, I want to go in time for the state fair. I don't want to go only to see things, but to take the rido and see the things on the way over there. If I get to go I will enjoy myself very welL I will bring my story to a close. Halite Marshall. 6B, Warner School. I should like to go to Franco this summer. If I had the money, I would buy food for the poor French people. I would go over the battle fields where the Allies once fought for the freedom of the world. Then I should know what hardships the soldiers had to stand. I could see the shell holes, guns, etc. Then I would come homo and tell the people to get busy and buy bonds to help these poor French people. Earl Hawkins, (IB, Warner School. I should like to go to California this summer to see my aunt and cousin. I would like to see mountains and valleys. I would like to see the orange trees growing and the blossoms. I think they would like to go out there because it is warmer there than hero. Hazel Klingman. 6B, Warner School. If I could do just as I pleased, this summer, I would go to my un Cle's in Minnesota. I would like to go there because he owns a farm. He has cows, chickens, horses, pigs and a largo garden. I could milk tho cows, feed the chickens, ride the horses, feed the pigs and help in the garden.. They have two children. I could play with them and have lota of fun. Dorothy Logan. 6A, Warner School. The Swift Camel Every one has heard of the swift ness of the dromedary, that on his native sands he can travel faster than an Arab horse. There is a picturesque eastern proverb which declares: "When thou shalt meet a camel and say to the rider, Good Morning, before he shall have answered, he will be far off and out of sight, for the camel's swiftness is like the wind."

They were gone. He went In tho house and told bis mother. Ills mother said, "Well, I can't help it." So he did not say anything. Soon ho went out of doors to see if tho cows were there.

A Fairy Tale One day a littlo girl went out to play, for she lived alone. The Book said, "I am old and quite torn." The Chair said, very proudly, "I'm new and have not been used only when company comes." The Table said, "The little girl sat down on you this morning." The Chair answered smartly, "But she had her best dress on, ha! ha!" Tho Table answered, "You Just wait!" Just then the little girl came in and said," I thought I heard a voice, but maybe not. "And she sat down in the chair. Pretty soon the Table said, "You did!" It scared the girl and she screamed. The Table said, quietly, "Why do you scream, little girl?" "Where are you? Who are you?" cried the little girl. "I m the table whom you see, answered the table. "How can you talk?" exclaimed tho girl. Just then a lady came. Edna Manford. The Shepherd How sweet is the shepherd's sweet lot! From the morn to the evening he strays; He shall follow his sheep all the day, And his tongue shall bo filled with praise. For he hears the lamb's innocent call,' And he hears the ewe's tender re ply; He is watchful, while they are in peace, For they know when their shep herd is nigh. Sent in by Florence E. Nlewoehner. Grade 3, St. John's School. The Mistaken Stag A stag was looking at his shad ow in the water. "What nice large horns I have!" he thought. "But what small, weak feet; They are of no good. I am ashamed," Suddenly a great lion appeared near the pool. The stag fled In terror, And those weak feet he had de spised, bore him safely away from tho lion. But by and by he came up to a forest, and his horns got caught in some branches. Then the lion came up to him, and caught him, for he could not free those handsome horns he had so admired.

One day her mother sent her to get some eggs. She did not have very much money, so she could not get them. She began to cry. A lady came up to her and asked her what was the matter. She said that he mother had sent her to get some eggs and she did not have much money and could not get them; She told her not to cry she would give her some money and went and got tho eggs and she went and told her mother. They ate their supper that night and when they wero through they went to bed and I never saw them since. Martha Yeddlng, 4A, Finley School. ,

When Pa Comes Home When pa comes home, I'm at the' door, And then he grabs me off the floor, And throws me up and catches me When I come down; and then says he: "Well how'd you get along today?. An' keep right out of mama's way? An' how'd you get that awful bump? ' An' who spilled jolly on your dress? ' An' whero did you ever find the dirt That's on those hands ? And my t , 0 my! , I guess those eyes have had a cry, ' They look bo red. What was if . pray? What has been happening here. While Pa's" been in France. i Contributed from Roscbelle Edwards. By Mildred Joncn. Age 6. ijf local Boy Quick To Act Do you know just what your head Is for? Yes, it is to help you to speak and to smell and to hear and to see, but that isn't all. Oh, no! There is some queer looking gray matter called brains up in the

top that is supposed to be taught how to act quickly and well, or at least to tell ycu how to act that way. About a week ago, a. Richmond boy's gray brains helped him to do a good, turn. And this Is. the way it happened: Two automobiles collided heavily on a much traveled street corner in Richmond. One man waa. hurt. Those who saw the accident agreed that the fault was that of the man in the other car. This man only stayed long enough to see that the injured man was in no danger of dying from the accident and then got Into his car and rode off. But though ho never suspected it, all of his car wasn't there. For daring the few minutes, the man in the second car bad looked at the injured man, a small boy bad gone around the second car and untied the license number. Afterwards he handed ' this to the man who was hurt, saying he could probably use that. Then the boy ran away, and his ' name has not been learned. Whoever he Is, he should be commend- : ed for acting so quickly, and helping the Injured man to have . means of making the unknown driver in the second car pay for hi carelessness. Hide And Seek All the trees are sleeping, all the winds are still, All the flocks of fleecy clonds have wandered past the hill; Through the noonday silence, downf the woods of June, Hark, a little hunter's voice comes running with a tune. "Hide and seek! When I speak, You must answer me! Call again, Mery men, Coo-ee, coo-ee, coo-ee!" Now I hear the footsteps, rustling in the grass; Hidden In my leafy nook, shall 1 let him iass? Just a low, soft whistle, quick the hunter turns, Leaps upon me laughing, rolls me in the fernB. "Hold him fast! Caught at last! Now you're it. Hide your eye, TM I cry, Coo-ee, cee-ee, coo-eel" Bent in by Florence E. Neiwoehner, Grade 3, St John's School. The Golden Egg A man had a goose that laid a golden egg every day. What a strange goose that was! Tho man was getting rich, but not SO fast as he wished. "The goose must be made of gold inside," he thought. "I will kill her and get all the gold at once." - So he killed the goose and cut her open. She was Just like other geese. He had lost both his gooso and his golden eggs.
