RICHMOND JUNIOR'S HOME AN AVIARY "Isn't U fun to live in a house full f ranarv birds?" "No! They are all right when they sing, but they make too mutn noise." t. m Such was the answer Kathryn Cook made to a question put to her by the Junior editor last week. Four years ago Kathryn loved to watch and listen to canary birds but that was when she had Just Hn n,t nnw there are 170 canary birds as well as five or six other kinds of birds in ner nome, wmcu Is at 67 South Fifteenth street. Perhaps, to change an old saying, Kathryn thinks that "two's a company, 170 are a crowd." Mrs. Cook, however, who raises the birds for sale now, having become interested In Kathryn's birds fnur var aer does not think so. She likes the pretty, happy little birds bo well mat sne never beeiua tr have too many. At this time of year there are many little baby canary birds m Mrs. Cook's house, and such funny lnniHnir h-aa little things as they are. we little bodies, but such big eyes; for their eyes are aimosi aa big when they are hatched as when they are full grown birds. Mrs. Cook is up at night with them very often this time of year, feeding these little birds hard-boiled eggs with toothpicks so as to keep them alive. The birds fill the house with singing, for although the younger birds usually cease singing at 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the older ones are so happy that they sometimes sing until 2 or 3 o'clock la the morning. . Freed Bird Seeks Warm Resting Place Sometimes after she tames the birds, Mrs. Cook will free the birds and let them fly around the room. One day she let one out, and then some visitors came to see her birds and she did not think about it until after the visitors left. Then she looked for It but could not find it anywhere. In fear that it had escaped outdoors or hidden in some of the downstairs rooms (it had been set free downstairs) she feanted and hunted all evening until 11 o'clock that night. At last she had to give it up and went upstairs to go to bed. When she turned on the light in her bed room what do you think sho found? There in her bed, cuddled under the pillows was the little lost canary bird sound asleep. Besides all these canaries, Mrs. Cook has three pretty Java sparrows in her home, two parrakeets or "love birds", with bright green plumage, an English canary, which is much larger than the other kind of canaries and a very talkative green and red parrot. STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE OF MANY WIENERS Some scouts ate as many as 12 wienies on the hike taken by tho boy scouts of Troop 6, and that wasn't all, oh no, there were all sorts of other 'feed." The hike was taken from 6 to 10 p. m. Friday evening, April 29, and the destination was last year's old camping ground. The boys practiced military drills. You Can Win this Prize Let's Go!

THE MYSTERY OF THE GOLD WATCH

Chapter V. Jim's Luck. Jim and his mm are attacked by some officers and there at once starts a gun play. Jim runs out of ammunition ;uid for a while he thinks all Is lost, but he gets an idea In his head and sends for Bob and Jane. It was found that both were missing and then all hopej were lost. Jim sat down and waited for what ever should happen. His men looked like they thought they were hiding their head in a cannon barrel, ready to be shot. "Do you 'spose they will come in here?" asked one. "Yes, I do," said Jim. He was right because after seeing that there was no more firing from the outlaws the officers came in the cabin and handcuffed every man and took them to Jail. "You caused us to be in this shape," said one of Jim's men. "Well, I can't help It," said Jim sullenly. "Yes, you could, and you know it, too, said another. There was no reply for a man came and searched Jim, finding the gold watch and key in a secret pocket In the sleeve of his coat. About a week after this was Jim's trial. Bob and Jane were present, too. Jim was made to tell about the watch and key. "My cousin Philip had this gold watch and he told me that he was going to hide it somewhere in the house, trusting me not to tell about it or try to get it before he died. "He said in it would be a diamond worth ten thousand dollars. I was to tell Bob about it, but I didn't because I wanted It myself. "Well, I searched that house all over but I couldn't find any watch. But when Bob moved in he found it, and I Just tried to get it." "How did you get them, then?" asked a lawyer. "None of your business," said Jim boldly. "Yes it is, and if you Jon't toll, it will bo all the worse for you," said the lawyer. "I robbed it, then," said Jim. "Where" Jim thought he had better tell all or he would get more than he would otherwise. "One night about one o'clock I crawled in one of the windows of Cousin Philip's bouse and knowing where he kept the key, went in and got it." "How did you know there was such a key'?' "Philip showed it to me when he showed me the watch," answered Jim. At the end cf the trial Jim was sentenced to ten years in prison and the men he had hired were sentenced to three years in prison. As Jim was brought out of the court room he said, "I'd like to know how that cuy and his sister got away form that cabin." I "That's easy," said Bob. "While you guys were shoot ins at the police one of them slipped in thi room where we weie and untied us." . Jim was filled with anger at his failure in getting the gold watch. "I'll show you something when I get through with the prison," ho said, as he went through the court room door. "You'll see, allrlghty." Bob and Jane went home and found Joe lying face downward on the floor. I "It's a shame, isn't it," said Bob. "We'll bury him down in the field."; "Say,, Jane, how did they get ;' you" i "I went out to get help when ; you were fighting Joe and I came ! across a detective and told him al! about it. On my way back I wa-i Caught by Fox." "!' glad it's all over wiih now, anyhow," said Bob. j "Sn nni T " ranawnrft linn f ..... .. 'vx. . . The End.

WE SAW BAKERS MAKE CRACKERS On April 20. the children of thy 3-A and 4-B grades of llibberd school went to tho Richmond Baking company to cee how bread and crackers were made. We are studying the manufactures of Richmond in geography. Mis Snepp asked us which factory we wished to study about, and we voted for tho Richmond U;king company. We went to see how bread and crackers were made and other things they make. We went to see how they mix their dough and where they they get their raw materials and how they get them here. We saw how they make their crackers and bread. This is how. they make their crackers. First they put the raw materials In the mixer and mixed the dough. Then they took it out on a piece of machinery that slanted at the end and as the dough went along a stamp cut the crackers out and put the design on them. Then they were put in the oven and baked. A man took them out and dropped them through a hole into a trough below. Then they opened the trough and the crackers went into boxes readyto sell. They sell their products as far south as Florida, as far east as New York and as far west as Colorado, but. mostly around eastern Indiana and western Ohio. J. RICHARD KEMPER.
