SAVE YOUR CRUMBS PAUL BILGER LEADS WEST MANCHESTER JUNIOR ORCHESTRA In West Manchester, Ohio, there is a small but capable junior orchestra, three years old. One of the members of this orchestra, which has been growing steadily in popularity in its own community, has written a little letter to the Junior, telling about their orches tra, knowing the Juniors readers would be glad to hear about such an ambitious orchestra. '"'"' "The West Manchester Orches tra started three years ago. There were nine members in it, Paul, Oscar. Oliver and Harold Pilgec lwight Spencer, Floyd Morris, Janeva Frank and Irene Leas, we started playing easy music and eraduallv took un more- difficult music. "In the first summer, 1919, on July 4th, the citizens of West-Manchester enraged us to play at a home-coming for the soldiers. We were very successful and were well paid for our services. We practiced once a week during the winter of 1920, our school work not permitting us to do 60 oftener. "We furnished the music for the grade school graduation of West Manchester in the spring of 1920. "Ijtst summer we were engeged by the business men of this community to give concerts on Saturday nights. They were well pleased and so were the people, judging from the crowd that came to hear us each night. "On June 12th, 1920, we gave a concert at the I. O. O. F. hall at (his place and met with success. "The citizens of the community engaged us to play for their annual Farmers' Institute. "Our orchestra consists of nine members: Paul B Bilger, leader, age, 17. cornetist: Oscar ar Lalger, u, cuu-; iaetist; Oliver Eilgcr, 12, alto horn; Harold BHger, 10, trap drummer; Vernon Carter, 14, violinist; Floyd Morris, 14, violinist; Dwiglit Spencer, 14, violinist; Edgar Parks, 17, violinist; Irene Leas, 16, pianist." -By Irene V. Leas. TADPOLE DIES: BUT CRAWDAD COMES FOR NATURE CLASS A big, "crawly" craw-dad has taken up his residence in the Nature study room at Starr school. He is very agreeable and promenades up and down the table for the children while they watch him and talk about him. Another one of the tadpoles in the fish bowls died last week, so now there are only four left and these make us think they always wanl to be tadpoles, for they still keep their tails. One, however, has developed a pair of very lively hind feet, and it may be planning to turn into a frog some day, as tadpoles usually do, and as they have done for many years. The gladiola and narcissus bulbs in the Nature room are beginning tesend out tiny green shoots now, and the buds on some maple and chestnut branches, which were brought there, are opening up and little green maple and leaves are tumbling out. chestnut "HELLO, THERE!"' At the University High school, Minneapolis, Minn., there was conducted recently a "Friendship Campaign." The slogan of the drive, used by the entire school, was a cheery "Hello, There!" Candy Store Damaged A small fire in the kitchen of the Greek candy manufacturers at ,624 Main street caused about $15 damage at 2:30 p. m. Thursday." Members of the firm stated that they were unable to tell how the fires started. G. Schuyler Tarbell of Ithaca, New York, Boy Scout, sold the highest number of Thrift and War Savings stamps during the December campaign, which was entered into by most of the Boy Scouts everywhere. He sold $77,215 worth. Schuyler with the 52 next best salesmen scouts received a personal letter from President Wilson in which were these words: "I thank you in the name of the whole country."

HOW PRESIDENT HARDING LEARNED HIS ALPHABET When a youngster three years old, Warren Gamabiel Harding who has just been proclaimed our new president, learned his A. B. C.s and learned them all in just one afternoon. It happened this way: Once when Warren was three years old and was proudly wearing the little kilted suits boys wore at that time, lie went up to his mother as she sat sewing in front of the fireplace and laid his hand on her knee and said solemnly, "Mother I want to learn to read." His mother then got a piece of cardboard Dr. Harding, his lather, thinks it was the bottom of a shoe box and marked it off in squares, 26 of them and then planted in those squares all the letters of the alphabet in capital letters. She. did this with a stick of partly burned wood from the hearth. That afternoon he learned all his letters.
