We are glad to be able to print three of these Clarksburg letters in the Junior Palladium. May Be Capital City. Clarksburg, W. Va., Jan. 24, 1921. Dear Edna: I have learned of you through my teacher in penmanship, Miss Gordon, I am going to

! tell you something about our city, j The population of the city is about 35.000, taking in the suburbs. I It is one of the most progressive 1 and greatest commercial centers in our .state. i We have good schools and good churches. i We are now repairing our main

; streets which will add to the beauty of our city. ! Charleston is the capital of our I state and the capitol was recently , destroyed by fire. At the next session of the legisa1 ture, which will be in March, we expect provision made to locate the ' new capitol here which also will help to beautify our city.

This city was the home and birthplace of the famous Stonewall Jack'-on which you have studied in your history. I will be glad to hear from you

telling me all of the interesting facts of youY home city. Your very truly, Louise Ridenour.

MRS. FRED GIRTY TO REVIVE STORY HOUR AT LIBRARY

Do you like to hear people tell stories. Of course you do. Even grownups like to hear people tell stories. Now you children and juniors are going to have a chance to hear them. Beginning with next Saturday, Feb. 12, there will be a story hour for children and juniors of Richmond In the MorrlssonReeves library under the direction of Mrs. Fred Girty. Mrs. Girty as many of you know was formerly editor of the Junior Palladium and knows what kind of stories boys and girls like to hear. The stories will be told on Saturday afternoons from 2 to 3 o'clock. In connection with this, exhibits will be held from time to time on special subjects, which will also be the subjects of the stories for that week. Saturday, Feb. 12 is to be Lincoln day and there will be a Lincoln exhibit in connection with this at the library which will last a week. Airs. Girty wishes to announce through the Junior that if any chil dren have pictures or newspapei clippings or perhaps an old coon skin cap like the one Lincoln wore she will be glad to Include them it the exhibit if they will bring them to the children's department of tin library Monday or Tuesday even ings after school. Also, if any one is ambitious enough to make a map of the chief places in Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois where Lincoln lived and worked, it will be shown to the children at the story hour on Saturday. Owing to the fact that the seating capacity is limited to 50 people, plans are being made with Miss Paine, grade school supervisor for accommodating certain groups of juniors each week. Definite announcement concerning this will appear sometime next week in the "big" Palladium. The subjects as announced for February are: Lincoln, Feb. 12; Washington, Feb. 19, and Colonial children, Feb. 26.

Samuel Rzeszewski as the public knows him and as he is when he's enjoying himself merely watching a fire truck plunge by his hotel. Samuel Rzeszewski, little Polish lad who is stunning American chess experts and enthusiasts with his masterful victories, over scores of opponents at one sitting, is to quit displaying his ability within the next few months, his father says. The boy's education slipshod be cause of the demand for his presence all over the world is to come be fore more fame. But the father and mother realize too late that the bov already has missed the thrills and joys that come to the r.verase boy of eipht and one-half years Sammie's age.

RUBBER CLOTHES

IN A SHAFT MINE Clarksburg, W. Va., Jan. 19, 1921. Dear Richard: I am going to tell you about a mine in West Virginia. Most mines are dug into the hill, but sometimes you can see a shaft mine. A shaft mine goes straight into the ground. When a miner works in a shaft

mine, he wears everything rubber!

cause water is at the bottom of the mine. There are two elevators in a shaft mine, and while one elevator

j goes up one goes down.

W rite and tell me about your city j

and state. Your truly. (Signed) CALVIN CANE.

GOOD INTENTIONS LIKE A SNOWMAN MELT AWAY

OPAL HARDVIGKE WINS BREAD PRIZE IN RANDOLPH GO.

Modoc, Ind., Jan. 31, 1921. Dear Juniors Maybe some of you will be interested in knowing how I baked my prize loaf of bread. In the first place I was interested myself, in the little task, which maybe made it a success. At night I cooked two potatoes, poured the water off the potatoes, then mashed the potatoes. I added to my mashed potatoes one cup of flour, half cup of sugar, two tablespoons of salt and heated this mixture. I then took the potato water and added enough water to make a quart, then stirred it in the mixture, then poured my beer in (potato beer) and let it stand over night. The next morning I thickened it with flour, and let it stand until it raised light. Then I mixed it stiff, and added a tablespoonful of lard to keep it moist. I then let it rise again and moulded it in two loaves and let it rise dhtil light again. Then I baked them in separate pans about one hour. I took the first prize at the Farmers' Institute of Randolph county, held at Modoc high school auditorium, Jan. 22. I am 14 years old and am in grade eight, junior high school. I liope you will publish this in your Junior Palladium, if you do, I will be sure to see it. Sincerely, Opal V. Hardwick. Dear Opal Indeed we will publish it, and let us say right here that we believe you can write letters as well as you can bake bread. Please accept congratulations from the Junior editor. I want to suggest to you also that you write a story for the Junior. 1 believe you can write a good one. Aunt Polly.
