The Ocala police are bearing down
heavy on Migrants. They are not
annoying honest poor men who are

selves, but they are doing all they
can to keep lazy and vicious men
out of the city.

The Trouble Josie Caused
BY Mildred HAIRLESS

Little Josie Brown was sent to the
store for a bottle of shoe dressing. He
didn't want to go just then, SO he
rushed out of the house in bad tenn
per.
After getting the bottle he was re-
turning in the same ugly fashion, not
lookingh where he was going.
He happened to come to slippery
part of the pavement and down he fell,
dropping the bottle on the ground. The
bottle broke and it's contents splashed
all over his face, his hands and his
clothes.
In terror he flew home and ran
screaming to his mother who, seeing
that he was about to throw himself on
her lap, said, Don't come near me-"
She was making new silk dress
and objected to having 1t spoiled by
shoes dressing.
Then Josie screamed all the more,
and his two little brothers, thinking
that their mother was frightened, be-
gan to scream, too. This wake. the
baby, who joined in the dismal chorus.
The noise was heard in the street
and some foolish people quickly gave
an alarm of fire. In very short time
engines were in front Of the house.
!, Now, don't you think that was a
great deal of trouble for one little boy
to cause. am sure Josie thought SO

A squirrel is cunning little crea-
ture. Its home is in the woods.
One summer little squirrel built
it's nest in hollow oak near my home.
I remember the first time | saw her.
She was out on a limb Of the tree and
making a funny noise. l suppose she
was trying to tell me to go away and
not harm her little ones.
Once l took some hickory nuts and
placed them by the tree and watched
her come down after them. She car
red them one by one until she mad
them all.
think a squirrel is as nice pet as
one can get.
One morning the same squirrel and
her five little ones had been up to our
corn crib getting their breakfast |
saw them crossing the road. the
mother would go little ways and wait
for the little ones. I think the nara
clods hurt their feet.
When the squirrels find out you Will
not harm them they soon become
tame.

The Whale and It's Uses
By Gladys Randolph

Lear juniors:
There are two kinds of whales, the
Greenland and the sperm. The Green
land whale is the most valuable for its
whale bone, which is made into splen-
did combs, etc.
The sperm whale is valuable for it's
oil and spermaceti
When the people want to catch
whales they go in ship and as soon
as they see whale blowing, which
they can for quite a distance, they low
err boat and row near enough to the
whale to throw harpoon or large
hook into it. They draw the whale
through the water after the boat.
If they catch a greenland whale, the
whale bone is taken out and put away.
If sperm whale is caught, the men
cut hole in it's head and dip out the
oil with buckets. When all the oil has
been dipped out the body of the whale
is lowered over the side of the ship
and rope is fastened to the fat on Its
body. and by means of some pulleys
this fat is stripped off. The fat is boiled
in large kettles.
Sometimes there are twenty-four
barrels of spermleti in a whales
body and five or six in it's tongue.
Whale oil is used for lights. and for
machinery. Spermaceti is used for
making candies.

A Good Talk on Wheat-By
Stella HOrner

I suppose all you farmer boys know
all about wheat, as it is one OF our
most valuable food crops. "
The grains of wheat are about half
the size of pea.
Wheat should be planted early in
the spring or in the fall. 1t should
be planted about quarter of an inch
deep When it is about two inches
high it looks like oats or grass. 1T
grows to be about three feet high
and has head three or four inches
long. In the head is where the grains
of wheat are packed.
When the wheat is ready to be cut
it is yellow in color. 1t Is cut with
a binder and tied into bundles and
shocked until ready to be sthreshed
The threshing machine separates the
grains from the stalk and the wheat
grains are put into sacks and hauled
to the mill to be ground into flour and
the -four is used to make bread, cake,
pies, etc.
Wheat is grown mostly in the north
eastern states. Great quantities are
exported every year.
Wheat does not require much heal
or moisture like cotton or rice.
The United States produces one
fourth of the wheat crop of the world

He wanted to learn English Gram

in those times grammars were hard
to find. He heard of man who had
a grammar and he walked eight miles
to borrow it.
AS he was riding along the road one
day he saw pig fast in mud hole

Playing BY the Sea
Hazel Brewer

Carl and his sister, Ruth, lived near
the sea shore and often played in the
water.
One day they found the wreck of an
old boat The thought occurred to
them that this would make fine play
house. They made a swing at one end
by fastening rope to one OF tho
masts Then they took turns swing
ing one another.
Presently their father came sailing
along in his new boat and the chill
dren ran to greet him. He took them
on board and they went to visit
friends who lived further down
the coast.
The children were left there to
fishing.
During the night fierce storm burst
upon the deep. The lightning flashed
and the thunder roared so terribly
that the people became alarmed.
The children begged the man with
whom they had been left to seek and
find their father on the dark, stormy
ocean. At last he consented to go.
They insisted on going along and beg.
ged so pityfully that he finally TOOK
them.
The wind was so strong and the
waves so rough that the children
closed their eyes and ears to shut out
the terrible sight and sound.
Out they plunged and were carried
far into the ocean. But luckily they
met the returning boat just as 1t was
turning over. The father was res
cued and they returned home with
thankful hearts.

Birds, 5000 Different Kinds
Marjorie Colburn

The birds of America are numerous
in almost every family. There are
more than 5000 different kinds.
One Of the most peculiar birds is
the bird of paradise. OF the true birds
of paradise the Emerald is about the
size of the common jay bird. It's head
and neck are covered with velvet-like
feathers of bright straw color above
and emerald green beneath.
