Gertrude Carter's Compost
ton on "The Old Woman
and the Bean

Once there was an old woman. While
getting ready to put some beans on to
cook one bean hoped out Of the pan
and ran over towards the stove She
had just put some coal and straw in
the stove and one piece of coal ana
piece Of straw hoped out Of the stove
so the bean, straw and coal went out to
seek their fortune
They went on and on and after while
they came to a brook. They did not
know how to get across this brook so
the straw stretched itself across the
stream and called for the coal and the
bean to come across The bean sat on
the bank, and did not move. Tho coal
started across the straw bridge and
when he got in the middle OF it he was
afraid and stood still for minute and
then the straw bridge broke and float
ed down the stream and the coal sank
in the sand and the bean laughed SO
hard that she burst. A man came
along and saw the bean. He pulled out
q needle and a spool Of thread and
sewed the bean together. He was sorry
for the bean. Ever since then some
beans have black seam around them.
This is a school composition.

Loretta Young on Her Trip
to the Des M0ines River

Dear Juniors:
I am going to write story about my
trip to the Des Moines river.
Two years ago this summer my
mother brothers and sister while visit.
ing with my aunt thought we would
go to the Des Moines river and stay
day.
My uncle took us down on the hay
rack. We took our dinners. The day
was very hot and sun burned my legs
and arms.
There were some big rocks out in the
water and we would get on them ana
let the water run over our feet.
We fished but the wind came up In
the afternoon and the fish wouldn't bite
and we never caught any.
My sister had camera with her and
she took several pictures Of us in the
river She never got them finished.
About o'clock we thought we had
better go home. We had to walk home
so we stopped to rest along the road
many times.

Ida and the Spider

(By William Ware LOcke)
There once was a girl they called Ida
Who hated the sight Of a spider;
But one summer day, when she was at
play,
One came and sat right down beside
her.
But she did not jump up and scream,
For she had been dreaming dream,
A prince in disguise had seen her brown
eyes
And offered to make her a queen.
The spider perhaps was enchanted.
A queen should be always undaunted.
She made up her mind to be very kind
And give to him just what he wanted.
Oh, what could she do for his sake,
The spell OF enchantment to break!
Without any fear, she let him draw
near
And gave him a piece Of her cake.
The spider remained still spider,
To be a proud queen was denied her;
At first she was sad. but then she was
glad
TO be just girl they c.4.~~. Ida.

Maggie Watts Grandpa a
Remarkable Man; Birth
day Every Four Years

Dear Juniors:
am an old Ottumwa Junior and
thought I would tell you about my
Grandfather Wilkins.
He was 70 years old his last birthday.
His birthday is Feb. 20. He only has a
birthday every four years. ;,
He served three years in the civil
war. He enlisted in February 1881 and
was mustered out in February 1864.
The battle Of Shiloh was his first battle.
He was in many others and has seen
many hardships. AT one time he went
three days and nights without food or
anything to drink. He was on long
march. He had a bullet wound in his
front finger. He belonged to Co. D, 18th
Iowa volunteers. He had quite an &C
cident last fall. My uncle got him a
new auto and on Oct. 25 they started
down below Selma to Jake Sedores to
spend the day and my grandpa went
with them When they got down below
Selma a little way the car went off
a bridge, breaking grandpa's thigh and
the bone run through the flesh. his
pants and his rain coat and about four
inches In the ground, and mashed his
nose and cut cash In his head. They
set his leg and dressed his wounds
down at Selma and then Harry Sedore
brought him home in his car 1t was
about six months before he could get
up out Of bed and now the last three
or four weeks is just getting SO he car
20 around and go to town by himself
and we think now that he will get al
right as the bone seems to be gooc
and solid. He said he suffered more
with his broken leg than all OF the
three years in service in the war.

Jessie Miller's Vacation at
Her Grandma's Home

Dear Juniors:
AS have not written for long time
I thought 1 would write.
am going to write on vacation 1T
grandma's.
Last year along about the last OF
June my mother my brother ana
went down to grandma's to spend a
week.
NV grandma had rented an orchard
for the fruit season. The cherries and
mulberries were Just ripe. There was
early and late cherries and white and
black mulberries.
have two aunts who stay with
grandma. One is a nurse and the other
stays at home with grandma They
were both there and also a boy cousin
who stays with grandma.
In going to the orchard we had to
cross road, a meadow, a creek. and
cornfleld, besides four barb wire fences.
AS we entered the orchard we came
to the mulberries and cherries first.
And then we came to the apples,
peaches, pears and so on.
On the way back to the house we
found some wild strawberries and we
gathered some for supper.
The next three days we spent in pick
ing cherries and gooseberries. On Fri
took some cherries and gooseberries
into town. On SATURDAY. we cleaned up
the house and in the afternoon my aunt
and I went to the woods and stayed un-
til about o'clock and then we came
home and got the supper. After we had
done up the dishes my cousin Willie
my brother and I went down to milk
the cows. My cousin went wading In
the pond We caught frog and
though we would play joke on
mamma, 80 we took it up to the house
and told her to come and see the turtle
and when she came out we put the frog
In front Of her She saw it was frog
and jumped away from it, but it jump
ed right after her. The next day my
aunt who lived about mile south OF
grandma's, came up. My cousin had
discovered a swarm cf bees and so aft
er dinner he put some cheesecloth over
his head and put on some thick gloves
and went out and caught them.
The next day we came home.
