RICHMOND GIRLS KNOW GENERAL AZGAPETICAN Last week we mentioned in the Junior that Araxie Azgapetian and her parents were in Indianapolis, where her celebrated father bave a lecture which he is giving in many parts of the United States. Sunday two Juniors, Miriam and Marguerite Burbanck told your editor that they had met the Azgapatians and that Mrs. Azgapetian had told them they named their daughter Araxie because she was born in a Red Cross tent near the Arras river during some of the most severe fighting in the Caucausus. Mrs. Azgapetian told these same Juniors," You children who can get a drink of water whenever you want it,, be happy. I have seen children who live near deserts or who have fled into deserts for safety who suffered greatly because they were so thirsty. We were held in the desert once but we were rescued before we had grown real thirsty. Do you know what rescued us? It was a Ford."

A little boy was out at the barn with his largest dog, Carlo. The little boy's name was Roland. Roland had a pony. Brownie was a very fat pony, she was a brown pony with one white hoof. Roland said to himself, "Oh, what a nice day it would be to go berry picking. Now, Roland's sister, Helen, had an old kettle which her mother had given her. Roland ran from the barn to the house and went into the dining room, took the kettle from the cupboard and then ran back to the barn, saddled his pony and rode toward the woods. His mother saw him riding that way, but didn't think inueh about it, for she thought Roland was just playing with Brownie. Bub before Roland had ridden very far he called Carlo and five other dogs to go with him. so nobody could hurt him. Roland rode to the woods and picked blackberries until his kettle was full. While Roland was away at the woods Roland's mother wanted him to get her some wood for the fire. She called him but he didn't come. When Roland's father came home, the mother told him, Roland went away this morning on Brownie and has been gone all day, and he went toward the woods."' So Roland's father started after him on a horse and found him just as he was coming back. So they went home together. Roland on Brownie, and his father on their old horse Frank.

Three weeks ago your editor promised a chocolate sundae with whipped cream and a cherry on top to the Junior who made the best suggestion of what he would like to see in hi3 little newspaper. Several suggestions were received but they were so nearly, alike that though your editor acquired two gray hairs trying to discover a "best", it was all in vain. So it was decided that those boys and girls who made the suggestions which were so much alike, should each one receive a chocolate nut bar and liat iha 5iind:io and oherrv would have to lose itself in darkness as there was no one to claim it. The suggestions offered were more ghost stories, more fairy stories, more Indian stories, more animal stories and bird stories. We want to thank you for all these suggestions and we expect you will see them "come true" from time to time in your Junior Palladium. If the following people will come to the Palladium office Monday afternoon after school they will receive the "bar of sweetness" which Is a more fair reward to all the Juniors making suggestions: Edwin Taggart, Miriam Burbanck, Marion Chenoweth, Thomas Brown, Finley; John Charman, Paul Battenberg, and Josephine Thorn.

How an Enlistment In the U. 5. Army Would Help Me I would go to Europe and see the beautiful sights. I would get to

see their homes and their way of living. I would get over one hundred dollars a month. I would also raise a pink rose garden. I would send some of the roses to some sick lady. I would try to enlist in the cavalry and would try to educate myself. The government would give mo gold medal or a silver medal, or a bronze medal. I would become a story teller, and I would make people happy by going and telling stories, and I would tell about the soldiers fighting for our country. I would learn all about history and go to some of the places I studied, and would tell all about George Washington and Lincoln. How George Washington always spoke the truth, one flag and America, John B!and, 5B grade, Warner. How the Chickens Popped Once upon a time there was an old woman and a man living in the country. One morning he got up early and thought he would go down and feed his chickens. He started to the barn with his bucket in his hand. He went in the barn and reached his hand in a sack which he thought was chicken feed. Then he went on to the chicken house with the feed. He brought the feed to the chickens and they began to eat it. Then he went on to the house to eat breakfast. After he had eaten breakfast he thought he would go down and see if his chickens had eaten the feed. When he got down there he saw that all the chickens were dead, he couldn't think of the cause of all the chickens being dead. So he said, "Maybe I fed them popcorn." He went to look and he saw that he had. Then he said, "I suppose when the sun came out, the corn got hot and began to pop and popped the chickens to pieces. And that is how chickens popped."

Brother and Sister Left With Chicks Once there were two little children. Their names were Mary and Charles. Mary was four years old and Charles was five years old. Their mother had some little chickens in the Incubator. ' One day their mother was going to town and told Charles to feed the chickens so he said he would. It ' was not long before Charles said it was time to feed them. So Mary , and Charles got the feed and went i to feed the chickens. When they I got Into the room Mary said she' would open the door. But what do you think happened when she ', opened the door?. A little chicken fell out on the floor. It frightened Mary and Charles so that they ran out of the room. They forgot to shut the door of the incubator and when they went back In the room all the chickens had fallen out on the floor and were running all around over the room. ! They did not know what to do but Charles said: "We had better get these chickens up before mother comes or she will give us a spanking." So they set to work and be gan to put the chickens back into the incubator. When they got all of them back, they fed them and sat down ini front of the incubator and played ' with the littlt chic Mary had ' a little white chicken in her hands and she squeezed it so hard that she killed it Charles said: "What will you do with the little chicken?" i Mary said, I will put it back into ' the incubator with the other chick-; ens. So Mary put the little chicken back Into the Incubator and be- j gan to cry about it. Charles said j there was no use to cry. So Mary i went and washed her face and did not cry any more about It. It was not long before their mother came back and she had them some candy. Their mother asked them how they got along with the chickens. Mary said they got along pretty good. But Charles said that Mary killed one of the chickens and cried over it. Then their mother asked Mary how she did it. Mary said she was playing with it, squeezed and killed it. Then she said: "What did you do with the chickens?" .and Mary said she put it back into the incubator. Their mother did not whip them, but be eure they did not tell that they let all the chickens fall out She gave them their candy and she never left them by themselves again after that and Mary never killed another chicken, either.
