STARR CHILDREN BUSY ON MUSIC MEMORY NUMBERS

The children in Starr are working on the Music Memory Contest numbers. On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we hear the selection for ttrat day and on Friday we have a review. Sometimes Miss McAlpine plays them on the piano for us and sometimes we hear them on the Vietrola, The names of the selections for each week are written on the board in every room so that we may see them all the time. The children help by looking through all their music and records at home to see if they have any of them. This week we are learning "Salut d' Amour" by Elgar, "Old Folks at Home," by Foster, "Soldier's Chorus," from "Faust," by Gounod and 'Trelude in C sharp minor" by Rachmaninoff. Kindergarten Organize Orchestra The kindergarten of Starr have started an orchestra. They have been bringing violins and many other instruments from home. The leader of this orchestra is Bobby Hagerty. They like to play the instruments and hope some day that they will be a large, fine orchestra, like the high school orchestra. Nature Room Has Large Library In the nature room the children have a library of 42 books. The children have brought 17 books from home so far. The books are all about birds, flowers, gardens ana other nature subjects. 6A's Study Africa The 6A grade are studying Africa in geography. They are also studying the people and animal life of Africa. They find this country especially interesting. . . Girls Have First Cooking Class .The 6B girls had their first cook- " ing lesson of the term last Tuesday afternoon. They cooked "Cream of Wheat" and they learned that one dish of "Cream of Wheat" is as healthy to your body as four dishes of "Shredded Wheat." Fifth Grade Write Stories - We have written stories about a picture in our English books. The best story we hope to have publish ed in the Junior Palladium. The way we decide is to have the children read their stories in front of the class. Then we decide whether it is a A or B paper. The children with A papers stand to one side. Then the children with A papers read their stories again. Then we vote for the best story. Keith Taylor, reporter for fifth grade. (SB's Study Great Britain The 611 children are studying Great Britain in their geography lesson. They found that Great Britain has a great many occupations. j 6A-B's Have Spelling Match The 6A-B's are working very hard en their spoiling, and once in a while they have a spelling match to test tbemselves out They arrange the match so the boys are against the girls. The girls, stand in one row on one side of the room, and the boya on the other side of the room. If a boy misspells a word and a girl spells it right, then the girls may choose the best speller of the boys and he does not get to spell until the girl misspells a word. Then the hoys may get their best speller back. Loretta Kittle, reporter for Starr school. WARNER NEWS The boys and girls in the 3A and 4B are studying Indians.

Emancipator

Musty Ledger Bates Poverty of 'Honest Abe' Rats in the old law office of Abra ham Lincoln led to the discovery Saturday of musty, molded docu ments which open a new insight into the life and character of "Honest Abe." It was here that Lincoln lived and worked and struggled up to fame. With the story of each historic spot goes a tale of some important period in his life, and the rats in the old law office dug up the information that he was sorely pressed for money during his debates with Stephen A. Douglas in the senatorial campaign of 1858. Paul Boose, a- 15-year-old high school boy, discovered the latest Lincoln documents while setting traps for rats in a store room above the shoe store of B. H. Leurs & Sons. The store room was once the office of Abraham Lincoln, lawyer. It was there he wrote his first inaugural address.

CORN SHOW POSTERS ARE ON DISPLAY AT THE COURT HOUSE

Ilanglng across the room In great festoons, at the courthouse wad the display of Corn Show posters, on Saturday. It was a perfectly fascinating exhibit. The poor judges must have been In a dreadful stew over granting the prizes, for the posters were all so pretty. They were not only artistic but had a real advertising quiUity about them. Out of that big room full no two of them were alike. The first prize of two dollars to the first group, made up of high school and junior high school pupils, was awarded to Maud Chenoweth. Her poster was an artistic one that had taken many hours of work to make. The two Puritan figures and the Indian in the center of the poster were well drawn. The seconcLyprlze In this same class was awarded to Donald Soulier, also of Morton high school. This poster was exceptionally pretty. The painting of the corn shock and the pig was very good. The prize was II. Daniel Fitzpatrick. of Garfield Junior high school, won the third prize- in this group. It was a striking poster, painted on black paper, with figures in color of men weighing a pig on scales. This prize was 50 cents. The second group was made up of the elementary schools of the city. The three prizes were the same amount in this class that they were for the older pupils. Ftnley school won the first prize with Hazel Bybee's poster. It was very attractive. Considering the age of the children, and the number of posters submitted, this group outclassed the first group. Last year the elementary schools were not in tne contest, however they took the honors this year, and will be lively opponents next year, after more training design. Shurman Richardson brought honors to Joseph Moore school by capturing the second prize. .With her poster about chickens, Jeanette Noss of Starr school won the third prize. When it comes to rrizes Starr school is usually on tho list. They recently won the Nusbaum cup in the orchestra contesx. One interesting feature of the exhibit was the display from Fountain City. Their posters were all very attractive. They were the only county school that sent in an exhibit. The prizes granted to their group were $2, $1 and 60 cents, the same that the city schools received. Max Reynolds won the first prize, Willis Aughie won second and Helen Smith won the third. Mrs. Maude Kaufman Eggemeyer, Philip Slocum and Fred Goltz served as judges. Mrs. Eggomeyer said that she was very pleased with the exhibit, as the posters showed that tiie children had spent a great deal of earnest effort on them.
