AUNT POLLY'S LETTER

That is what we are all eagerly doing, with ourselves as ships, eeokine how to send them "sailing on beyond" into a fuller, finer life,

more courageous and more free. Thinking and doing the best we know every day is a big proposition, but it is that which sends our ships ahead. Its steadiness and keeping going that counts. Remember Riley's "Raggedy Man 7 "O the Raggedy Man! He works fer Pa; An' he's the goodest man ever you saw! He comes to our house every day, An' waters the horses, an' feeds 'cm hay;" He wouldn't have been "tho goodest man' if he hadn't come "every day" to do his work, would he? Trust is one of the biggest forces in life ; trust in ourseves, which gives us self-reliance, which is necessary trust in our friends, in our acquaintances-r-and in God, the great source and truth of life. We learn by trying and trying, to become less and less like the lobster which Alice told the Gryphon about, which was gay as a lark when the sands were dry and talked boldly about the shark, but whose bold voice changed to a "timid and tremulous sound" when the tide rose and the sharks came near. Instead we grow more sure, more brave, and more sincere. I must close this letter, but first I want to tell you something. Owing to those things we call circumstances in this case, sickness in tho home I am ceasing tonight my work with the Junior Palladium. I have enjoyed it, and have enjoyed you, with whom it was altogether concerned, and I hope you have, loo! I hope and expect that you will go forward gladly together, each one of you, and your sturdy, little Junior Pal friend and its new editor. Good-bye and good luck. Your sincere friend, AUNT POLLY.

My Trip to the Fair The Wayne County Fair was held at Richmond, Ind., in the Glen Miller park. The fair was to show what the Indiana farmers were raising. - There was a tent with many hogs in it. The largest hog was one that weighed 1,055 pounds, and it was 3 feet and one- half tall. There were many large horses and ponies which were very interesting. There were many different kinds of fruit There were large peaches and pears, which came from the Martin-Wessler farm. There was some very pretty fancy work. For entertainments, they had Weber's band, and a girl and a horse diving into a tub of water.

I went first into, the cattle tent and looked at the cattle. In the same tent there was an old goat and a little kid. The old goat gave a gallon of milk a day. There were some little Airedale puppies, too. It was nearly four o'clock by that time, so I went to watch the horse dive. After that I saw the fruit It looked so good, I wanted to eat it. The fancy work was very pretty. The next day I went to see the little calf sold. Geraldine Johnson, 6B, Baxter school.

Dear Juniors: The Palladium reporter, who visited the Preble county fair, at Eaton, Tuesday, asked me as a club member, to tell the boys and girls of Wayne county about the food and clothing clubs of Preble county. The first food club In Preble was organized six or seven years ago. The clothing clubs are just a few years old. To tell you better about the club work I will have to tell you about our own clubs in Jackson township, because I am not familiar with the others. In Jackson township there is a clothing, food, and pig club. In the spring when the clubs are organized, we have the privilege of belonging to any we wish or as many as we can carry on me wont of. Most of tho girls joined just one club, but I joined both food ahd clothing clubs. During the summer we held monthly meetings at the school house. At these meetings we discussed the work and then, after-; ward, enjoyed ourselves on the playgrounds. We held several pic nics. I was president of the food club. Last year I belonged to the food club and canned fifty-seven quarts of fruits and vegetables. I exhibited at the county fair and received first prize in the township, which was a trip to Ohio State university for one week. I enjoyed this trip immensely, besides learning things of value. The people at the university had everything planned, so that the club members there would see all the worth-while places of interest. They also had a program for each day and night at the university. In the food club this year I canned two hundred and fifty quarts of fruit and vegetables; one hundred and twenty-eignt glasses of jely; and about twenty quarts of pickles. Besides this, I made quick breads. I used the cold pack method in my canning. This has many advantages over the open kettle method. It is almost a sure way of keeping fruits and vegetables . It preserves the color and the flavor almost like that of the fresh product. I have found this the easiest The club girls figure the cost of their finished product and tne selling price and then subtract to find their gain. Sometimea the gain is almost equal to the cost. All the club girls didn't can as much as I did. I canned over the required amount, which was forty pints for girls under 15, and sixty pints and twelve bakings of quick breads for girls over 15 years of age. In the clothing club I made twenty-four large pieces, mostly garments, such as shirts, dresses, and aprons. I made twenty-six small pieces, as pillow cases, towels, collars and cuffs. I had my work planned carefully or a program for each day so that when I wasn't canning, I would have something to sew on. One week during August a camp was conducted for both the boys and girls of the club in the county. The cost of attending this camp was J2. A schedule for each day was carried out. The camp was situated along a creek where bathing was one of the pleasures to be had. I enjoyed my club work very much this summer. I am exhibiting my work tin's year at the fair, but the prizes haven't been awarded yet. The club work all looked so very nice, it will be hard to decide who should win. The interest in the club work i3 growing in Preble county. The parents are getting interested, too. The exhibits of the different clubs all show a marked improvement over previous years. Hoping some girts' clubs will be organized in Wayne county, as the work is enjoyable and interesting, besides the knowledge which is of great, value. Rulh Pryfogle. Jackson township, Preble county O.

The picture told in a series J views the story of Indiana history from the time of the Indians and first European explorers down to the present time. In order to make the picture ap peal to every one, it was presented in the form of Riley telling the story of Indiana to a group of Hoosier children. The films showing Riley with the children were taken in the front yard of Riley's home in Indianapolis. Sixteen children were invited to come in and be in the picture.

Woods and Butterflies Are Shown at the Fair How many different kinds of woods are in your county Among the many splendid school ovhihita nf thA Preble county fair. one of the most interesting was the : collection of the many different ; kinds of trees grown in Preble county. Small pieces of the larger . branches were cut off , and the i grain of the wood shown and then these were mounted on large cardboard mats. One High echool student showed 84 different kinds of wood. One boy, eight years old, Emora ' Fultz, showed 24 different kinds. Valuable, too, were the exhibits of weed 6eeds which were mounted and named, and it was also written by each Beed, how the Beed is distributed, whether by birds, by the wind, or by other carriers. Collections of butterflies, moths, , and insects, were shown by many juniors, some exhibiting beautiful and unusual specimens. The Cecropia, the Polyphemus moths were shown ; the Monarch, the Swallowtail, the Philnor, the Red Admiral, and the Spicebush butterflies, were in some of the exhibits. Several underwing moths, katy-dids, cicadas, and beetles, and the pinching bug (which we probably enjoy more when it's dead) were shown. One girl, aged 13, Helen Barton, of Lanier township, who chewed 28 specimens, very well mounted, said she caught most of them in her straw hat The Better Plan Father: "Johnny, come help me dig these potatoes." Son: "Aw, don't you think it would be better if you'd do it yourself? You planted 'em. You know where they are." Riley sat in a chair in the middle of the group with hia pet dog in his lap. Fifteen of the children were from Indianapolis, and I was the only one invited from any outside city, because my father was secretary of the Centennial commission. After the picture was completed, it was fihown over the whole of Indiana. The people were very much interested in It, not only because it told the story of Indiana in pictures but because, also it was one of the last pictures taken ' of James Whitcomb Riley, as he died only a few weeks afterwards. " I was very glad that I could be in this picture because it gave me ac nance to Bee and talk with our greatest Indiana poet. Roger Lindley, Dennis Junior High school,
