A Trip to Elba.

BY Bridget Pawloski, Age 9, Farwell,
Neb., Blue Side,
One day in summer we thought we
would go and visit around, so we
packed our clothes, then started out.
We passed Warsaw and St. Paul.
Then we had to cross river
Papa said ".Shall | drive into the
riveri" but this made us scared and
we were about crying, Then we went
on until we reached Elba, in the eve
ming. We played while and then
went to bed. On Sunday we had a
good time. We caught chickens,
geese, ducks, cats dogs and put them
into pen and played we had a cir
Gus, and the fowls and animals were
for wild animals. We swung on a
swing for while and then played
school, and when we were tired OF
that played store and house. After
a while we had nice ride on cart,
which large, black dog was pulling
About dark we started for home. We
were very frightened then, for we
thought papa was going to drive into
the river. When we got home we un-
dressed and went to bed with tired,
lazy heads. ...

Boy Scouts of America, is here for a
few weeks, working with the Rotary

Why Willows Droop.
By Wilhelmina Auchmuty Aged 10
Years, 23l5 South Thirty-hrst
Co.. n.,al, p1,,, C;da

Years, 23l5 South Thirty-hrst
Street, Omaha, Blue Side.
Long ago there lived princess
named Elizabeth, supposed to be the
most beautiful person among mortals.
1t was said that the princess could
not be seen outside the castle walls
because she was so beautiful.
Every morning the little princess
would take her toys out and play
under big willow tree in the yard,
A time came when the little prime
ess did not come out and play any
more. The willow grew very sad be-
cause it was lonesome for the little
princess.
One day the willow tree heard a
man say, ITS too bad, but she will
not live till morning"
The next morning the willow tree
saw two men coming out OF the cas-
tie with a big box. Following came
the king and queen and all the king S
wise men. They were all weeping.
The willow asked Hymadryad, the
tree nymph, if he might weep too.
Hymadryad said he might weep too.
So ever after the willows are known
as weeping willows"
