they, and II you don't It won't take

The buildings are all new and
very nice. The teachers are very

OUT IN THE WOODS

Last year on . bright summer
day my friends and I went out In
the woods and took our dinners
and suppers with us. We had .
delightful time. After our dinner
we walked around In the woods
and saw many trees, such as the
elm. beech, acorn. walnut. chest
nut, maple and many other trees.
The boughs of the trees were load
ed with nuts, and we saw many
risky SQUIRRELS running around the
trees. After supper We walked
home on the rough and dusty road.

MAGIC TREE MAKES
BOY VERY RICH

Once there was q boy named
Robert. He lived IN the woods with
his grandmother. The boys that
knew him called him Bob"
One day he was walking In the
woods and met q little girl who
was dressed very richly.
He did not know her but she
knew him. She had found out how
poor little Robert was, and she
thought she would make him rich
az she was. For she was the kings
daughter.
She knew Of q tree that II you
would say. "Open thy door," It
would open. She took him to this
tree and told him to say these
words. He said them and the tree
opened q long crack. She said to
him, walk right in and you will
find three bags of gold. Take them
and walk out and say, Shut thy
door, and 1t will shut"
So he did as she told him to do.
She walked on slowly, and he came
with her. He went home and said
to his grandmother, 1--WE are now
rich"
"Why are we rich?" she asked.
because we are" said Robert.
So the next day when Robert got
up he was very happy. His grand
ma asked him why he was happy.
So Robert told her what he had
seen and done. So his grandmother
got to be happy too. In the after
noon they went up town and bought
them some clothing and food.
Years after, the princess mar
ried the little boy and they lived
in the palace with the king, queen
and the grandmother, too. There
they lived happily all their lives.

The Chum Club Corner

I'm the habit OF knowing facts. and
then you always can understand
what people are talking about.
When the boys were having their
election last week. the question Of
girls voting was brought before
almost every one Of you.
Woman suffrage means different
things to different people, but the
thing 1t means most Of all to us
is the type of girls and women who
would be really worthy of voting.
To vote is only to choose, but
before you choose you should know
whom you are choosing and why.
So girls who vote should be girls
who understand what Is happening
and make up their minds about It;
girls who can listen to other peo-
pies ideas and see both sides Of
the question; who can express
themselves well and to the point,
and yet be gentle and girlish.
Voting doesn't mean being a
tom-boy, and talking politics does
not mean arguing at the top of your
voice. Girls have to live under the
laws Of Boytown and the United
States the same as the boys them
selves, and they should know the
laws and have q part In choosing
the lawmakers. But first of all
you girls should prove yourselves
the highest type of citizens. Be able
to do what mother girls ever have
done before, take your part in pub
lie affairs along with the boys nat
urally and well, be worthy of re-
spect, Of taking responsibilities
and showing good judgement, and
through 1t all be girls your fathers
and brothers will be proud to own.
