"Make your lives out of love."

MONKEYS MAY GO INTO SUMMER HOME NEXT WEEK IN GLEN The popular monkey trio, Mike, Charlie and Tom, are to make their first appearance this year in theii outdoor cage in Glen Miller Park next Saturday, May 15, if the weather permits. Because of their sensitiveness to cold air, monkeys are the last of the park's animals to go into their outdoor cages In the spring. They are never allowed to go outdoors before the fifteenth of May, and then only if the air is warm enough. The monkeys when visited last week by the Junior editor, were as lively and playful a8 ever. When little Mike gets tired of climbing around by himself, he jumps on Charlie's back who obligingly carries him around on his climbing Journeys. Tom answered the keeper when his name was called, by running to the door of the cage and there awaited the juicy fruits and vegetables which he knew were coming for their supper. Raw sweet potatoes are the treat of treats for these monkeys, but radishes, oranges, apples, bread and cucumbers are relished in season. Their breakfast Is always bread and milk. The Guinea pigs which were the only other animals still in their indoor cages, the keeper thought could be put in their outdoor homes by May 7. Richmond Boy Donates Alligator to Glen Taking a trip to see the animals Jn the Glen on a cold, early spring day gives one a different lmpres- j sion of them than one gets from watching them on a hot summer day. I The afternoon that the Junior! editor visited the animals last week i was just such a cold day and; cloudy besides, and the animals all , looked cold and sleepy. The bear's I eyes looked drowsy and it paced! up and down its cage without ever! thinking of greeting an onlooker.! Perhaps it was its heavy coat ofi fur which made the bear's feet look smaller than ever. The owl.! too, was dozing on its perch and blinked indignantly when greeted with (perhaps it was inconsiderate) "Hello, sleepy head." The four little red foxes, unlike most of the animals that afternoon were alert and walking quickly up' and down their cages. Their eyes 1 ever keen, no trace of sleepiness! or dullness there, and their slender! pointed noses and pretty black feet and quick movements, made one! Want tfl Ktav anil uratrti (.nn TfcA,. ! . . v MUlll Wit-ill. 1 IICJ seemed so glad to see a visitor. The coyotes were too drowsy to be stirred and the groundhog, when urged only deigned to show one black eye from above the top of his bed of straw. Although three coons have died from sickness this winter, two wild ones re main as wen as the pet one. An American eagle has taken up his residence in the Glen. Mr. Henry Johanning sent it a month ago from Arizona. It is In a separate cage from the big bald eagles because the "Baldies" consider themselves the king eagles and would probably make life miserable for this smaller species. William D. Williams, Jr., has just presented an alligator, "Mike", to the alligator cage at the Glen. Williams mother and sister sent it to him from Miami, Florida last winter and he has kept it in his home for three months. It began to get rather unruly, however, and probably wanted some alligator playmates, too, so William took it to the Glen zoo. There are now six small ones altogether and then, of course, the big one. These little ones were all cuddled together in the warmest corner of their swimming pool on the afternoon they were visited last week and the three turtles which occupy the same cage were all hidden under their shells and refused to stick their heads out even for curiosity's sake.

Graduate of Eighth Grade Writes Story, "Playing the Game" You know I like to play games.

! I f (.- 1 good while I am playing. iou have to play some game for a while before you like the game. All your life you are playing a game. The game is to live well and be a good player. Common school is a game. One must play well to get the sport out of the game. One must learn to bat well, make the bases, and get home safely. There is nothing like winning the game. The real sport cohies when the game is won. A real player is called the game player. He always plays well, but loves the game and looks forward to the end. All games have their rules which must be observed. To win in the common school game we must have some rules. First, one must prepare for the game the study. This is a rule that is hard for lots of common school children to learn. I was never an expert myelf. Second, there must be practice the recitation. This Is the field work of the game. There should be real sport here. Our mistakes here are often funny. The teacher gets the most sport out of them, but it is real play after all. Third, there must be physical exercise the playtime. We common school children enjoy this. It rests us and helps us to play our other game. Fourth, the game must be won examinations. The grades must be made. To fail on examination is to fail to make a base. J To make the home base one j must make the grades in iinal examinations. Say, after all, It sure does make you feel good when you make a home run. I have been there. I have gone all through the game and never stopped. The last we celebrate when the game is won. This is the commencement. We get into the parade. The girls wear their best. Th boys wear what they have. We get our common school diplomas, say good-bye to our good teacher, and are ready for the high school game. CARL C. BLOCKER. Grade 8, Fountain City, Ind.

CANDLES always look like a celebration, do they not? ,'That is the reason we have them in this edition of the Junior Palladium. Do you have any idea what the celebratioa is about? We will tell you for you might net be able to guess. With this number we celebrate the fifth anniversary of the Junior's birthday. Perhaps; you do not know that a candle can tell stories but here are two which bring messages to all Junior readers. This candle thftt is burned so low says,: "I am the Junior's fourth year. I began to burn the first of May, 1920. I represent all the stories and news and all the letters and riddles and jokes in all the numbers of last year's Junior and I am burned down. I am going to sleep now with all the other past years, wrapped in my cool thin dress of smoke.

Flying Kites 29 30 31

When blossoms gay and white do nod A gay, glad greeting to the May. And slender wild flowers in the groves Are dancing with the breezes gay; Then oh, the fun on wind-swept hill, To have a kite with twisty tail, To feel it tugging in your hand, And see it dip and soar and sail.

Letter From Swiss Children Speaks Friendship for U. S. Carouge, Geneva, Feb. 19, 1921. Dear little unknown comrades: It is with joy that we have accepted the proposal of your school teacher to become acquainted by letter with the small girls of outage, pupils like us, and living in a country very far from ours. It will be very interesting to exchange our ideas, to tell each other what we do at school and perhaps, as a result, become real friends. We have been talking a great deal about the League of Nations and we know that the idea which underlies this league is love between all the peoples of the earth. We wish to try, we children, to take part in this splendid ideal. That is why we have accepted with pleasure the invitation to form closer rela- ( Continued on pa$e two.) for the Junior Then this radiant new candle ; eaks: "I am the Junior's New Year. I was lighted on the first Saturday in May, 1921. Within me are great possibilities for the Junior Palladium possibilities for th very best stories and letters and jokes and poems that have ever ben written and for the bct riddles that have been guessed (or not guessed). If the Junior readers who are iny caretakers, look after me well, I will burn brightly all the year. If isn't any fun to flicker, not until you are ready to go out like 1920, there. But oh, it's such fun to burn as brightly as you can, and it is so much more fun to be a birthday candle than ju:t an ordinary candle. That is all I have to say now but keep me well lighted, and then watch me burn." 5 6 7 Y Jm " 0 JhfpP

HUNGARIAN BOY SINGS NATIVE SONGS FOR MOORE SCHOOL Louis Demeter, of Whitewater 6chool, pleased the boys and girls of Joseph Moore school very much when he sang two Hungarian songs for them In their chapel Friday morning. The songs which were the Hungarian national song and a song which the soldiers sang when passing through the part of Hungary in which he lived, Louis sang with all the native spirit and abandon. Louis has only been in Richmond two months, having just come to this country from Hungary. Louis Is 12 years old and the only English he knows is 'Good morning." Mary Kovach, also of Whitewater the sixth grade accompanied Louis and Miss Payne to Joseph Moore, acting as interpreter for him. Mary is also Hungarian and speaks three languages, Hungarian, English and Italian.
