Uncle Sam himself has made two deep wrinkles ill his usually rery smooth forehead trying to figure out the tame thing. If great old Uncle Bam makes two wrinkles trying to think aboot It, guess what a poor aunt s forehead would look like after trying to figure out the same thing. I guess it would wrinkle up into curls and then after awhile It would dry np and blow away and then where would I be? Wouldn't I look funny without a forehead? Anyway I hope the next president will be the one who can best lead our country to meet and "win out" in all Its problems. Don't you hope so, too? Aunt Polly.

Lrftle Joe's Great Grandfather 1. A long time ago, when there were only trees in this part of the coun

try, little Joe's greatgrandfather camo cut here In a big covered

wagon.

While his father and mother were unloading the goods, the little

boy ran after a squirrel, and got lost. Then an Indian squaw found him and carried him off to her wigwam. His father and mother hunted everywhere but could not find him, for the Indians were moving to new hunting grounds and had taken the boy with them. II. About a month afterwards, the boy's uncle was riding on horseback through the woods, on hie way out west. As he was crossing a stream, he saw his little nephew Jim, chasing a deer down the hill. He could tell him by his clothes. The boy saw his uncle, too, at the same moment and ran toward him crying, "Oh, Uncle Joe! Uncle Joe!" His uncle took him up In front of him just as the Indian squaw came running after him. "Hurry, Uncle; tell the horse get-y-up!" cried Jim. His uncle turned and galloped back to the nearest station. There he found Jim's rather, who had come to the village hunting his little boy. 0 the rest of the men at the

villngp went back. Jim's father and

helped him move his things to their

town and the Indian squaw never got Jim again. Grades 3-A and 2-B, Finley School.

Hustle and Busde! The The Rabbits'

Busy Dayit was a bright, sunny morning in the woods. In a hollow log there was hurrying going on here and there. Do you know the reason? If you do not, I will tell you. It was a week before Easter. The blackfoot rabbit family had enlisted with thousands of other rabbit

fX&PM&X&Mil I families in helping get eggs for tho WMWmmVwj children on Easter. That is the W&MJtf. reason.

They had a store-room with nothing in It but eggs. Easter came. 3h, what a time the rabbits had. E5ut at last they had them all deCHESTER COLLIN'S, lelivered. How glad they were! Grade 6A, Finley School

Betty s Easter It was a cold bleak day near Easter when Betty Ashton went to her father's office. She had gone to her father's office to spend the afternoon. Her sister Ruth had the scarlet fever. Betty was staying at her grandma's.

As she sat there in the window she was thinking how lonely it would seem Easter without Mrs. Ashton (her mother) and little Ruth. It would not be Easter without them. She thought first of dear bright little Ruth as she had been before she took sick. Then she thought of her mother, how ldnd and good she had been. Always the same. As she sat there dreaming, an idea came to her. Why not fix a nest in a box with eggs and cute things that Ruth would enjoy? She went home happily. The next day she went into the

small wood shed and got a strawberry box. She covered that with pink tissue paper. Next she got some pretty colored excelsior that had been In a nost given the grandmother the year before. Now the nest wa3 nearly rcacly. But my how plain. Suddenly she remembered an article she had readMelling how to make flowers out of ribbon and small wire. She made a pretty flower and put It on the front of the box. Betty decided to wait until Saturday before Easter to buy the eggs. The days which followed were busy ones indeed. At last Saturday came and she bought a large candy egg with a picture and some small ones. Sunday morning she went over early and took the nest. She knocked on the door and left the nost. Next Betty went to the bedroom window to see what would follow. j

Soon Mrs. Ashton came with the

SPRING SKATING

I am going to tell you about us children skating to school. There

are two boys that skate to school who are rery good skaters. The first day I skated to school I fell all over myself and one of my skates came off two times but I did have fun. Then after school I got two of my girl friends and skated from half past three to half past six. Now I know how to skate a Ititle better and a little faster. I am going to skate to school every day if my skates do not come off. By Bernice apimpson, Joseph j Moore school. -y

One Easter time in a large town Molly went with her mother to see an interesting show window. This window was Cxed like a great big nest. Over in one corner was a big fat rabbiL In a pile of straw was a nest , full of broken eggs which were all colors of the rainbow. They were red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. What do you suppose was there, too? There were six real live i

chicks. They were dear, fluffy, downy ones and they were all the rainbow colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. Crowds of children walked more than a mile to see these wonderful chicks. How d you suppose they happened to have those colors? Do you think they were born that way? Marguerite Burbanck, 10 years, 6-A Grade, Valle School.

Well It Certainly pays for the work to see her Joy thought Betty. , When sho went noma she saw some mysterious looking Btuff peeping out of the corners. Her grandmother said smilingly, "Look around a little Betty." What do you think she- found? Fevcral pretty nests filled with t-ggs. The bunny didn't forget her either.

GET FASHIONABLE FRILLS AND FASHIONABLE FLUFFS By Carolyn Sherwin Bailey Still blustering and cold, and yet spring Is on its way making every girl feel that she wants to dress up for it. Old frocks seem twice as old on early spring days. But why not try to trim them a little? You may be able to make them look like new. Fluffs and Frills. For a while no one wore collars and cuffs on dresses, but they are in fashion now. Straight strips of net edged with tatting, blue and pink organdy tucked and edged with blue or pink tatting, collars and cuffs for a blue sergo dress made of pale blue and white gingham in a fine check, or of yellow gingham in a fine check, or of ytllow gingham, and a sailor collar of coarse white linen embroidered in the corners in colored cross stitch! These will do wonders for that winter school dress. And do make some ruffles for the neck and wrists of your best dress. Organdy in white or colors, net edged with narrow lace, or narrow ruffles of colored satin or taffeta will be ever so pretty. Ribbon Accessories. Narrow ribbon in bright Roman stripes or a plaid design will make a trimming for a plain serge dress. Fasten It with coarse stitches to the neck of the dress, leaving some

They ForgetAlas! 'Twas April Fool Onco upon a time there was a lady who invited four of her friends to dinner. It was April the First when she Invited them but they did not think about her having an April tool dinner. She said to one of the ladies, "Will you please take some cheese and puss It?" Tho woman said, "I don't care for any" and the other women didn't. It was yellow soap cut up. They went on eating. The hostess said to another guest, "Will you please cut this cake?". So she began to cut it and she said, "I can't cut this cake, it must be tough." Another woman said, "Let mo try it. "So sho cut and cut but she couldn't cut it either. Another woman bogan to laugh and she said, "I have been thinking about it being April Fool Day. She said. "Let me seo that cake." Then she exclaimed, "'It is rye bread with icing and cinnamon drops on top." They got up from tho table and after a while the hostess passed popcorn balls and they each took one. A woman bit in hers and she had a mouthful of cotton with popcorn on the out-side and a pickle In the middle. The souvenirs wero a round ball wrapped up in tissue paper and they were told not to open it till they got homo. It was an onion. On the way home one of the women taw a pocket book on tho sidewalk and she started to pick it up and then it disappeared. A boy who was out of sight pulled it away. Then they all remarked to each other, "We all have been fooled all right today." Marguerite Burbanck, Vale School, CA grade, 10 years old.

PLAYING MARBLES I have been playing marbles for two weeks now. And lots of the boys down our street have been playing with me. I have won a great deal of marbles. The boys are afraid to play with me now, I have 570 marbles. There are 47 "emmayes" or "shooters" and 7 agates. But now I have lost all but two of the agates. I am getting too big to play with them. Another reason is that I am going to my grandmother's and spend the summer wither. Lewis Wilson, 5A grade, Joseph Moore school.

JUNIORS REMEMBER SOLDIERS Dear Naomi: Am I glad to publish your verses in the Junior? Well I should say so! I am wondering if even Mr. Longefellow wrote verses as well as this when he wa3 the as of you Juniors. Tho verses we do not publish this week will appear later. Ed. The boys and girls of (hi Indianapolis Junior Red Cross have been busy all this year with their giving. Ouo interesting part of their service work is that they have never forgotten the soldiers at Ft.

Benjamin Harrison at Thanksgiving and Christmas. They sent boxes of home-made candies and cookies to tho individual soldiers at the Fort, and these were so welcomed by the men that, the Juniors again busied themselves for Valentine Day and sent out tissue-paper packages of cooki-5se with valentine stickers on them to each one of 5116 so'cliers. In each of these packages was an original valentine verse, either a greeting and funny stanza or a Junior poem. The Inst line of the following couplet may well be said to apply to these loyal Junior workers in Indianapolis. "As a valentine offering please accept these, From the Junior Red Cross whose aim is to please." The boys who have split, wood during the winter months for old and helpless people, are still carrying on with their Junior Red Cross spirit by preparing the ground for spring gardening. I SHINE I Shine is a very nice game for playing when sitting around the fire. Two people go out of the room and choose a word with the same pronunciation but different meanings, sut'i as "ruler." The first perron would represent "ruler" and he might say, "I am a person in authority, and in some countries I govern completely." The second person would represent "a ruler," and he might say, "I am found in schools and offices, I am very useful, and generally I am made of wood." When some person has guessed what they represent she should say, "I shine," and then would Join in the conversation or ask questions so as to help the other people to get the right word. No one Is allowed to ask question. until that one has shone. The first two people "to shine" would be the next ones to choose a word.

On February 4, at the Hotel Commodore, hundreds of Dan Eeard's friends, editors, sportsmen, scouts, explorers, famous outing officials and notable men of all professions were gathered to give "Uncle Dan" a real birthday party. The "Chief" has just celebrated his seventieth birthday.
