worked for. We had to sell 250 boxes of salve to get this beautiful flag. There were five schools in Richmond that worked for the flag. We sold all of our salve, and received the flag.

It is a large taffeta silk flag, with sewed - stripes, embroidered silk stars. The pole is 9 feet high, made of hardwood, with a brass screw-Joint. The flag has a twoinch yellow silk bullion fringe, and yellow silk cord, 9 feet in length. It also has a gilded brass eagle, 6 ,inch spread. The white in the flag stands for purity, the red for valor, the blue for justice. Altogether, bunting, stripes, stars, and colors, blazing in the sky, make the flag of our country to be cherished by all hearts, to be upheld by all our hands. Dorothea Bode, grade 6, reporter for St. John's school.

Knew Himself An Indianapolis woman was visiting her 3-year-old grandson, and one day saw him standing before the mirror looking at himself, and saying: "Yes, that's me." "Thomas," said the grandmother, "you should say, 'That is I.' " Thomas looked puzzled and then replied: "Well, it might be I, but it look3 like me." Indianapolis News.

in school. In school you are learning to do and use better than you already can, those things which all people must have and use in their regular day's work and play. You are learning to read and write, to use numbers, and to know something of the world about you, through i

your geography, history and other studies. All these things are useful throughout life and are worth learning to do well now while you have the chance. In addition to these things though

and even more important, I hope you will learn to be good and

fair, to be honest and just, and to

always do your part in making

THE CARDINAL

This month we take the time in

school to pay respect and honor to two of the men who helped so much to make our country what it is Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. I would like to suggest in closing, that among the many good things said by both of these men, the following statement by Lincoln is worth every boy and girl studying with the idea of living up to, as a standard.

When he gives this little call, we

may usually find him rather low in a bush or tree. When he sings his song, a splendid, clear whistle, this red bird, which is so easily seen because of his color and his crest, usually goes higher in the tree and sings as if he liked nothing Better in the world than to sing. When he sings we do not see him move as quickly or jerkily

as he does when he gives his call

JUST KIDS-What's the Use of Living

By Ad Carter

NEWS FROM THE "Y" About 20 boys were present In the City Boys' Bible class which Boys' Secretary Wrilson teaches, Saturday night, Feb. 11. Isn't it "grand and glorious" to be able to name every bird or many of them at least which calls and sings and whistles to yoa on the street or in the woods or "cross country?" Many boys will be able to do this soon when they belong to the Junior Boys' Bird ciubs which will be formed at the "Y" soon under the leadership of Perry A Wilson Any boy of school agemay Join one of these clubs. Have you finished building your bird house? If you have, you may take it to the "Y" any time. Several inviting ones have been turned in to Mr. Wilson. Be sure as you build them .to make them sr 'hat they can be thoroughly clean ed inside at least once a year Wrens are very particular, and wil not go to housekeeping in a hous unless it lias been cleaned before their coming.

The third grade of Hibberd school received a letter from Germany. In the letter there were fourteen different kinds of stamps. The letter was from the little girl's mother, who received the Christmas 'box that two little girls of the third grade had sent across the ocean for a Christmas present. The following is a translation of a letter received recently by Hibberd school: Vienna, Jan. 1, 1922. (Dear) Nobly Born! Please . receive my heartiest thanks for your kind gifts. The joy of my little one was very great

when she received her package at school. May God reward the kind benefactors! You know we are unable to do it. As human beings we can only express our thanks. How the little childish hands must have labored in order to prepare this great pleasure for our little one! My Jtftle Augusta also would like to prepare a little pleasure for her benefactors. If I am not mistaken, they are named Esther and Amanda. She has enclosed a few Austrian stamps for them. Will they be pleased? I rather think so. Again, if you please, our heartiest thanks to our dear benefactor s. Very respectfully, POLDI BODENSTEINER, Vienna, XBz, Katrinengasse, Z.

THIS EEK'S BOOKS We have heard and read many stories about King Arthur, haven't we, and we like very much to hear about the good king and all his knights. We rather like to take up a book full of stories about them and browse around in it, wtiich means, to read a story here and a story in some other part of the book, just choosing what we like best to read. In the children's department ol the library there are a number of books about King Arthur. Some of these are little books and some are big ones; some tell stories of the king himself, and some just tell about' the fortunes of the knights.

One, Sir Ttfarrok is its name, tells fairy stories about the times of King Arthur. So, we see there are several to select from when we want to read a little about this king who lives in so many stories. The books about King Arthur, which are in the children's department, follow: Knightly Legends of WalesSidney Lanier. Sir Marok, a Tale of the Days of King Arthur Allen French. Knights of the Round Table VS. H. Frost. Legends of King Arthur and'His Court F. N. Greene. Boys' King Arthur from Malory's Stories Sidney Lanier. Stories of the Grail and The Passing of Arthur H. Pyle. Story of King Arthur and His Knights H. Pyle. King Arthur and His Knights M. R. Warren. The Story of King Arthur Edward Brooks.

A SWEET STORY

On South Seventeenth street, between A and B streets on the east side of the street, is a row of maple trees each one with a bright little tin can hung on its side about five feet from the ground. Into these cans through neat little spouts made from saplings or youug trees, with hollow centers runs very slowly the sweet maple sap. It is thought the Indians knew about this sugary liquid as they called the moon of one of the spring months, the sugar-making moon. The first we hear of its being done is by the early settlers of New England and Canada.. To get the sap, men make a hole in the side of the tree with an auger, about three feet from the ground, and about an inch deep. The spout is put in this hole during January usually, and is left until March, when the buckets are gathered up and the sap has stopped flowing. More sap comes from the ring of wood just under -the bark than any other because it is the newest growth of wood, tonally they get from 3 to pounds of sap from one tree. When it is gathered up, it i made into the maple sugar and maple syrup that we like so much to eat.
