Dear Juniors:
In the city of Lincoln where / for

est creameries in the world. The far

around very fast. This is called re-
novating. The cream is run over very
hot pipes and then over cold pipes.
This sterilizes the, cream. 1t is then

which looks very much like an oil tank
on railroad cars,
The butter comes out in large pieces
as big as tub. 1t is put into another
vat with paddles which work the but
ter milk out of the butter 1t Is then
taken to another room and placed on
long tables. People work the remain
der of the buttermilk out with their
hands.
A man then molds the butter and
places it on the scales and cuts it to
weigh sixteen ounces. This is wrap
ped in white paper and sent up on the
elevator to room where it is wrap
ped in paper and then put in paste
board box and is ready for shipping.

Paul and Pauline Watch
Ships Unload BY
Wilma FlOckhart

A ship loaded with cargo Of cot
fee from Rio De Janeiro had landed
at Buffalo, N. Y, in the evening.
The next morning Paul and Pauline,
twins ten years old, were watching
the men unload After the ship was
unloaded and the men had gone away
Pauline noticed rope fastened to the
end of large pole of the ship. She
asked Paul if he would fasten it to
the other end of the pole. He said he
would and did so at once. Then he
asked her what she was going to do
with it and she replied that she was
going to make swing. She climbed
into the swing and he pushed her till
she was going very high.
Just then their mother called them
to luncheon and when they went back
that afternoon the ship had gone.

IN "old field school," taught by man
named Hobby.
He had q brother named Lawrence.
Whom Lawrence went away as a cap
tain in regiment raised in America
against the Spaniards in the West In
dies, George began to think of SOL
diers life and drilled the boys in
Hobby,s school. He became tall boy,
could run very swiftly and was pow
erful wrestler.
The people of those days went every
where on horseback and George was
not afraid to get astride the widest
horse or I'm unbroken colt.
When George was eleven years old
his father died. His mother sent him
to school to Mr.. Williams and there
he learned reading, writing and arith-
metic. To these were added a little
bookkeeping and surveying. He re-
malned in school until he was sixteen
years old. Then he accepted an offer
OF surveying from Lord Fairfax and
earned from seven to twenty-one dol
lars . day.
George Washington married Mrs.
Martha Gusts. He lived for many
years very quietly at Mount Venom.
All travellers were sure of welcome
at his home. He was loved by all
who knew him He was called the
father Of his country" He died at
Mt Vernon in 1893. Everybody was
sorry to learn Of his death.

Sunrise

BY Mary e. Merrill.
The day is now beginning,
The Robins gaily singing,
A welcome to you bringing.
Awake! Arise!
The Wood dove softly cooling,
Your loving heart a-wooing,
And for your presence suing,
Awake! Arise!
The saucy Cat-bird chatters,
He scolds and then he flatters,
But finds that neither matters,
Awake! Arise!
The darling Wren is willing,
HIS sweetest notes are trilling,
He would be cooling, billing,
Awake! Arise!
All these and many another,
And the gentle call of mother,
Must arouse you, little brother,
Awake! Arise!
