Pig clubs are beginning to be organized right now, and corn clubs will be organized in. the near future. The Breeders' association of the Dnroc Jersey and the Poland China hoga have already decided to help any boy or girl in Wayne count, eligible for club work (under 18 years of age), to secure a pig of either of these breeds.

Preble county is also organizing these' clubs. Good stock and good supervision are assured and it is expected that there will be many more boys and girls taking an active interest in the club work this year. HOW fMADE SPANISH RICE Last Friday Miss Murphy told us she was not going to give us any directions for making Spanish rice. She put the recipe on the board. We took two tablespoons of rice and cleaned it. We put two cups of Avater with the rice and cooked it till it was done. Then we melted some butter and put onions with the butter and browned the onions. When the onions were brown we put two tablespoons of tomatoes with the onions and butter. When this had cooked 10 minutes we put the rice in and cooked it 15 minutes. My partner, Mary Kemper, and I cooked for Miss Shultz. She thought it was very good.

Springtime Poem Springtime is come again, When all the flowers" are out to stay, Till winter comes again To scare them away. The blue blossoms at our feet, And all around we smell the sweet scent " Of flowers, and hear the bumblebees Buzzing over our heads, And over the clover tops, too. We see the birds flying from tree to tree, Hunting for strings and sticks to build Their nests. Such beautiful sights we see In this beautiful world. Elisabeth Holt, grade 6B, Finley school. ODDLY, APRIL IS THE BIG "WAR MONTH" OF THE UNITED STATES April's reputation is not limited to being the month of spring rains. It is the great War month of the United States. Take out your history. Open up to the Battle of Lexiiton, the first of the Revolutionary war hostilities. SUrted on April 19, 1775, didn't it? ' Now look up the date of the Battle of Fort Sumter, the first of the Civil war. April 12. 1861, isn't it? You will also find that the United States declared war with Spain on April 21, 1898. This opened the Spanish-American war. Then along came our recent World war. The United States entered it on April 6, 1917. And those facta are why this month is the War month of the United States.

DELIGHTFUL OPERA "PINAFORE" PLEASES JUNIOR AUDIENCES Before a drop curtain on which a little English coast village was realistically portrayed, about fifty pupils in the music classes of Senior High school presented the opera, " Pinafore," a gay picture of a sailor's life In three matinees, for Richmond boys and girls, last week. Two evening performances were also given. The presentation of the opera, a popular one by Gilbert and Sullivan wag under the direction of Professor J. E. Maddy, supervisor of music in the public schoolB. Children in the grade schools attended the matinees on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and the pupils of Junior High school attended the Wednesday matinee. The splendid costuming gave the right atmosphere a bright naval a atmosphere for the presentation, which was successful. All the characters were enjoyed, and, to a fair extent, appreciated In their respective parts, by the eager Junior audiences; but it is safe to say that no one character received as much delighted attention in the afternoon performances as that of Dick DeadEye. This old sailor, crooked and knotted and eccentric in appearance and speech, was "resigned," as he said, to his looks, and enjoyed life as much as anyone on board the good ship "Pinafore." He impressed some of the audience as a splendid character for a pirate story or a tale about a hunt for ; buried treasure and recalled old Jack Silver aboard "The Hispan-v iola," enroute to Treasure Island. All the parts were well given for an amateur production, the voice of Josephine, the captain's daughter, being especially splendid in tone. Butter-cup and the captain both captains, in fact and the old admiral all of the characters indeed pleased and interested the audience, as did the chorus of "Jolly Tars" and the "sisters and cousins and aunts" of the admiral with their clever daiicingand choral work. Mr. Maddy and the music department should be congratulated on the kind of entertainment presented, for it was light and attractive, but at the same time entirely musical, a pleasing change from what is played, and heard, so often (in the "movies" and elsewhere) and called "popular music," though too often it is neither music nor popular. OUR JAPANESE PARTY Last Wednesday we had a little Japanese party. Miss Mawhood's children were our guests. We each had a friend to sit with us. Eleanor Collins sat with me. When the children came In, the girls came In one door and the boys In another. We had two boys to meet the boys and two girls to meet the girls. When we saw our friends coming we went up and got there and brought them back to our seats. When Miss Mawhood's children were coming in we played the Japanese Sandman on the victrola. After we were all quiet we had another Japanese song sung by a real Japanese. After the Japanese song Miss Brokaw who has just recently returned from 'Japan told us all about the country. She gave a very nice talk. When Miss Brokaw was through talking she went back to the high school. Miss White was there and brought gome of her Japanese paintings. She had some pictures that were painted on silk and some that were printed. Miss White talked about the pictures that she brought. We had two exhibits: one was Miss White's and the other was the children's. I had a very nice time and I hope our guests did, too. Nancy Jay, Vaile school.
