Volcano
Why Not You? To you juniors who may be hesitating to enter the open classes with your exhibits, we wish to say:
Remember that the grand chain
pion of the Ohio State Fair this year, was a 14year-old girl, a club
member. Also, that Robert Ranck, a 12-year-old club member, of Centerville, has just been announced the pig club winner in the Indiana State Fair. Robert won first place in tho Chester White group in last year's county fair.
Perhaps this year YOU will win. Why not?

Porky's Blue Ribbon
Come to the Baby Show Bring your little brother or sister whom you feel sure Is one of the
finest babies in the county, to be entered in the baby show. A play and nursery tent will be conveniently placed on the grounds for the children who visit the fair.
Books for First Grades Several hundred books, many in bright colored covers with gay drawings on them, were piled high on the two long tables in the office of Miss Payne, the elementary Erode supervisor last week. They will be distributed soon to the kindergarten, first and second grades of the public schools.
Volcano was the Btubbornest pony on tho ranch. He simply re
fused to let any one ride him. He was fond of running about over the vast prairie and he didn't intend that any one- should tame him and put him to work.
"You might as well give in," ob
served a wise old horse. "You can't always run around like this and en
joy yourself. You've got to.be of
some use in tnis world, utner
horses work. Why shouldn't you?"
"I don't care," replied Volcano.
"I'm not going to be sold as a slave. Any one tries to ride me
will have trouble, I'm here to tell
you. Before long Volcano had a good chance to carry out his threat. A cowboy had come out to look over the horses and had selected the lively Volcano. And so Volcano was roped and brought in to be ridden. Other cowboys had tried to break the colt before, but without success. They warned the buyer, but he seemed determined to try I
the pony.
First thing Volcano knew the
man was on his back. "Here's where I show him some tricks," thought Volcano, an'' proceeded to buck and race all over the place. The man seemed to be a master
rider, however, and it was a long time before the pony succeeded in unseating him.
"There," thought Volcano with satisfaction, "I guess I can go back to the prairie for a while." The man, unhurt, got up. He turned to ono of the other men en
thusiastically. "Sold," he said. "Just the very horse I want for that new Wild West stunt we're putting into the circus next summer. He'll give the people something for their money, all right. Lots of spirit and all that. Ship him right away."

Porky was home from the fair. He had returned in state, wearing a blue ribbon, winner of the first
prize.
The barnyard seemed hardly
large enough to hold him now. He had been big enough to bogin with, but the honors received at the county fair made him puff out with a new importance. Ho lay in the mud of the pigpen and talked as long as any one would listen. "You should have seen the crowds," he would say.
"People, people, everywhere, all stopping to look at me. You should have heard them exclaim when they saw my blue ribbon. I guess all the farmers in the country were
there, all of them wishing they owned me. "Some of you, I suppose, would have been scared, but not me. I soon got used to it, and took my honors calm as you please. Farmer Weatherbee is mighty tickled, I'll tell you. From now on I'll be treated like a king, all right.' "You make me tired," grunted a runty little porker. "Size isn't everything, you mountain of flesh." "Jealousy!" sniffed the prize winner. "Ah! Here comes Farmer

swelled up with pride. "Yep," the farmer was saying, "he's a big one, all right. Ought to bring in quite a bit. I'm butchering in a couple of days." After they had passed on, the blue ribbon winner squealed with fright. "Do they really mean to make me, ME, into chops and
! tilings?"
"Of course,"- answered the runt cheerfully. "They won't get mo,
though. I ve been rooting a hole under the pen. In another day it will be big enough to crawl through then I'll be off tp those big woods there. I can live on acorns and things." "I'll go along," panted the big fellow. "You!" laughed the runt. "You are too big to get away. Remember, you're the prize winner!"

to 10 boys of Garfield and Dennis
by their principals, Thursday, that
they could go that afternoon to
assist men of the city in distrib
uting bills advertising the Wayne County fair in small towns within
a 25miie radius of Richmond
