We Introduce the Real Robert Ranck

This really IS Robert Ranck. Two weeks ago in the Junior Palladium we had a picture of a prize winning member of Wayne oounty'B 1921 pig club, and it wan named Robert Ranck. But it wasn't Robert at all, owing to a mistake, for which we are very sorry. The picture shown in the i ' Si fly , Photo by Bundy Robert Ranck Junior of April 29 was that of Leonard Duke, the sixteen-year-old son of Gwen E. Duke, of Boston township, who took the first prize in the Duroc Jersey group of the 1921 pig show, and also in the open class, in which grown-up Duroc Jersey breeders were entered. Leonard sold his pig named L. D. Ideal last fall for $34.50. In addition to this he was awarded $22 in prizes. The total cost of the pig was $23.46, so Leonard felt good over his summer's work. He also had a good record book and said in regard to his summer's work in the pig club: "I have acquired a great deal of knowledge feeding my pig. I have enjoyed feeding and taking care of her fine." Robert Ranck, whoso picture is shown above, was first place win ner in the Chester White group of last year's club. Robert is twelve years old and J3 the son or Mrs. Ellen Ranck, of Centerville. He has entered the sow , and litter group of the 1922 pig club. Hope you have Robert and Leon ard all straightened out now and

. have excused us of the Junior l'al

ladium who, without meaning to, made a twisted name- puzzle of

their pictures. Morning Glories Morning-glories, morning-glories, On the garden wall. Pink and white and dainty blue, . I wonder who does call You In the morning, when it's time For you to arise, Quite earliest of all the flowers You open up your eyes. Does the robin waken you With his cheery song? Or does the trumpet vine nearby Blow quite clear and long A merry, ringing reveille, Whir.h nnlv vou can hear.

Or does a little whispering breeze Come a-whispering near, In the early morning hours?, In the cool, sweet dew? Please tell me so that I can ask To be wakened early, too. Christian Science Monitor. Has He Anything to Protect? A pupil In the seventh grade of a Wayno county school wrote Yhe following definition of the human skeleton (which he evidently confused with that of the human skull) recently on a final exam ination paper: "The human skeleton Is a box concern which is bone and set on the neck. It is called the head. Its two uses axe to carry instruments and for protection.'' .

You must not suppose that Billy Whiskers was a model of good behavior, for he certainly was not that When he was hungry, he would eat whatever he could get hold of, whether it was intended for him or not. He preferred a lettuce bed or garden generally, but not not draw the line at eating clothes hung out on the line to dry, or going into a pantry, no matter whose, and helping himself to everything in sight Of course, tricks of this kind got Billy Whiskers into serious trouble more than once, but he never said much about it and the animals at Cloverleaf Farm either didn't know or wouldn't believe such stories of their Billy even if they had leaked out and been whispered around. Ever since he had been living at Cloverleaf Farm, which is near Farmersville or "The Corners," a3 the place was more generally called, Billy had behaved himself, had stopped stealing things to eat, had quit fighting, which it must be confessed he dearly loved, and in less than a year had established himself on the friendliest footing not only with hia master and mistress and all the children, but likewise with the black cat, the dog, the colt and his mother, as well as the other horses, the cows and calves and even Big Red, the bull, said to be very fierce, also the flock of sheep witn Did Buck for leader. As was stated at first Billy Whiskers had found life so pleasant of late that he had fully made up his mind to stay where he was as long as he lived. The work he had to do was much (o his liking. It consisted mainly in pulling little Dick around the place in his express wagon when Tom or Harry usually did the driving. Now and then the drivers would want to ride, sometimes both of them, when. the load would be pretty heavy and more than once, at such times, Billy was tempted to run away as he used to do in his earlier years, upset his load and smash the wagon all to flinders; but he stoutly resisted these promptinxH of rebel lion, knowing well by long experience that it with goats as it is with boys and. girls better to take thi ;a as they come; that it is the hard JUST KIDS-What's

I work now and then, the giving up to others and readiness to do one's share of whatever comes along that tells whether he is made of the right kind of stuff.

City's Neighborhood Garden A neighborhood garden covering two whole blocks 'in the midst of New York's tenement district 13 tended each year by 600 children, each one having separate plots. The land was donated by the Rockefeller Institute. Some of the gardens have been given the following names: the Shakespeare garden, the Alice-in-Wonderland garden, the King Arthur garden and the Giunevere garden. There has been a suggestion made to keep the place open the year round, using the buildings for a community center, to start plants for summer gardens, and also to flood a part of the space so that children may skate there. j the Use of Livin?

Old Mother Goose And Her Young Ones Once upon a time there lived in a forest Old Mother Goose and her goslings. This family lived in a very small house in a dark and dreary forest. One day while Old Mother Goose was gone out to hunt for some

thing to cat, one of her goslings wandered away into the forest. When Old Mother Goose came home and found one of her goslings gone, she was much worried. She then locked her five babies in the house so that she could hunt for her lost goslings. A fox came to the house where the small goslings were, so that he could bother them and they became so frightened that they became so frightened that they cried for their mother to come back to them. But as they were all locked up in the house their mother could not hear them. The fox stayed there for several "hours and then went way and did not come hack for several days. Then when he came back he found the goslings out In the forest hunting for their lost brother until finally the lost gosling was found wandering far from home. Of course, he was thin and hungry but by the tender care of his happy mother he grew well again and decided not to run away again. By Julia Taube, age 12, grade 6, St. Andrews' school. HIS WISH O, Time roll on, please quicken your flight; I want to grow old in a day and a night; Give me the pleasures I once used to know, Give me the garden and give me the hoe. Take me back and give me my round. Thus says old Tom who is feeble and gray, And wanted to grow old in one night and one day. Leslie E. Anderson, Bethel, Ind.

John was seventeen and Fred was sixteen years old. Jack and John did not like Fred. They thought that their father liked him better than he liked them. But, of course, he did not. One day their father called them tc him and said, "I'm getting old now and I want you to do one thing for me, and the one thing is to bring me a gold crown. I will give you one week to go and come." So, off they started. They went a short ways when Jack and John disappeared from Fred's sight. So he was all alone. But before night Fred saw a house. No one being at home, he steped in; going to the bedroom, he saw a bed which looked very good to him, as he wa3 tired . So, he lay down to rest, and soon fell asleep. In the night something wakened a .ll,WM a man- 110 asked Fred if he could stay all night, ired told him he could, so he1 dropped down by his side and he, too, was very soon asleep.
