BEAR SMILES FOR WHITEWATER FOLKS We have a nice big family this semester, 18 boys and 18 girls. The other morning, we took a walk to the Glen and such shrieks of joy when the big bear stood on his hind feet and opened his mouth and showed his big, white teeth! Then the dear little squirrel ate cake ouLf our hands, shook its bushy tail, blinked its bright little eyes, and darted from one limb to another. The monkeys showed so much pep and ambition as they jumped through the ring, chasing each other. We at last came to the playgrounds. After an hour's play we had lunch. Of course, everybody was thirsty, so we all got a drink, washed our faces and hands, then started for home. Next time we go we'll spend more time with tho squirrels and gather some leaves. Whitewater Kindergarten Children. ST. ANDREWS GRADES DEBATE ABOUT WAR The eighth and seventh grades for the last two weeks have been debating on the present European war.

We left our school building about 2 o'clock. The first thing we looked for was the skeleton of the mastodon. We also looked for lava, the python snake, corals from the Mediterranean sea, and the mummy. We were very much interested in the mummy. Some children were surprised to know it was a real body of an Egyptian person. One place you could see his toes sticking out, and in another place you could see his nose sticking out. The lava was also very interesting. One piece looked like rocks, except the lava was black. When we went upstairs we saw a very large hat. It was a Mexican rain hat. The rim of it was larger than an umbrella. The crystals and precious stones were very interesting, too. We started home about .3:15. Some children rode and some , of them walked.

The diving platform was erected and a toy horse performed the thrilling jump which gave the hnrse a battered appearance since he fell -on the floor, instead of into a pool, but gave him a position of prominence among tneomer toy animals in the kindergarten. LIKED HORSES AT FAIR Friday we went to the fair. We saw the pigs. They were clean as they could be. Next we saw the horses. They were clean and very pretty, too.

Club Labels on Exhibits Each can is marked with a label on which is the national emblem of boys' and girls' clubs, the four-leaf clover, with a letter "II" in each leaflet, which stands for Head, Heart, Hand and Health. The motto of these clubs is, "To make the best better."

number of dresses, attractive in design and color, were Bhown, work: done by girls of Gratis, Israel, Dixon and Jackson townships. Piga of Preble's pig club members occupied ft tent of their own, about 60 piga being shown.

Winners in the club activities are given free trips each year to the state club round-up in Ohio State University. . ' f Winners in the state club activities may go to the national club round-up, which ia to be held in Chicago this year, and give a demonstration there. For the summer of 1923. a still greater inducement is offered to successful club members. Certain winners in the national club work round-up will be sent on a three months' trip to Europe. One of the interesting phases of their trip, as seen in advance, ia the request made by France that the girls give a demonstration in canning to the women of that country. Such trips and awards add keen interest to club work, wherever it is carried on, and such displays as were shown at the Eaton fair add to the enthusiasm and interest both of junior club members and of grown-ups. FRUIT GREW FAST FOR VAILE TEACHER The sixth grade children of Vaile school had a fruit shower for their teacher, Mrs, Steely. It was after recess, Friday morning. And the teacher had left the room to direct the play on the grounds during recess, as this was her day for that week. Apples and peaches were put in her desk, on her chair, and on the bookshelves. There were pears hanging on nails In different parts of the room and a small canteloupe was put under her hat in the cupboard. When recess was over, she came ' in and found the children sitting in their places as if nothing had happened. "How quickly this fruit ha3 grown!" she exclaimed. And, upon request of the children, she went around with a basket and gathered it up. She was greatly surprised, later, to find the canteloupe under her hat when it was time to go home.
