a saw mill at Lundy station and ex-
poets to begin saving next week.
G. Lopez Bailey & Co. have pur-
chased the lot next south of the East
Florida Savings & Trust Company's
office on Second street, and expect be-
fore long to erect a business block.
Wednesday the State Bank of Pa
latka opened its Christmas card saw
ings accounts, and the rush was such
as to exhaust the banks supply of
cards before the hour for closing ar
rived. The idea seems to take. Well,
it is all the good thing that the bank
said it was in their advertising. Adj
vertising pays. So does a savings ac-
count.
Be careful how you handle Judge
Julian C. Calhoun and Waiter W..
Tilghman, the Henry Ford special rep
resentative in Palatka. They have
been raised little above the COM
mon herd this week by an episode
which happened in the woods of Put
nam county on Monday. They actu-
ally shot two deer-real wild deer

WHY RABBIT EARS
AND NOSES ARE PINK

Once upon time there was
rabbit who had two baby rabbits
whose names We're Peter Rabbit
and Bunny Rabbit
After they were month old
their mother said to go out and
get their own living and she shut
the door and left the poor little
rabbits in the rain. After a while
it commenced to rain so hard and
the poor little rabbits were SO cold.
After little bit they saw can
and they jumped into it and it was
full of red paint and the paint got
all over their noses and ears and
feet
After they got home their mother
washed them and made their noses
and ears and feet pink, and that
is the reason their noses and ears
and feet are pink. Mary Louise

TWO LITTLE SISTERS

Once upon time there were two
little sisters and their father was q
farmer and he had some sheep and
one of the mother sheep died. She
left two little lambs and the father
gave one to one sister and one to
the other. So the girls we're well
pleased and fed and cared for them.
One little lamb died and when the
father came in that evening one of
the girls was sitting by the stove
looking very sad and her father
asked her what she wanted and
she said, II haven't any faith In
my Jesus any more" and papa said,
1--WE could not live without him."
And the little girl began to cry and
said, Gle let my little lamb die"
And her father told her that the
Lord had given them all to him,
and that he would give her another
one.-Ellen Tewart, Vaile school.

He!en's First Christmas

Helen was a little orphan girl
three years old. 1t was the week
before Christmas.
One day a beautiful woman came
to the asylum and said she wanted
a pretty little girl about three years
old. The matron sent for Helen.
The woman was glad and so was
Helen So the woman took Helen
home with her. She and her hus-
band lived in very big house Of
stone. 1t was mansion inside,
and they were very rich.
When they got home the woman
called to nurse all dressed up in
white. She told the nurse to take
Helen up to her room and dress
her for dinner.
The room which was to belong
to Helen was very beautiful for
littS girls and Helen liked it. The
nurse put little white frock on
Helen with little blue sash, blue
hair ribbons, white stockings and
white slippers.
She went down to dinner and
after supper the lady, who was now
her mamma said, "Helen, my dear,
you may write a letter to Santa
Claus and then nurse will help you
get to bed"
This is what Helen wrote:
Dear Santa Claus, l want a big
doll with light hair and blue eyes
that shut when you lay her down,
and want a doll bed, set of
dishes and a doll buggy.
Your little friend,
Helen Thomas"
She hung her stocking up and
kissed mamma and papa and went
up stairs to bed. The next morn
ing she woke up and ran down
stairs in her nightie, and there were
all the things she wanted and more
too. And for once Helen was very
happy.-Grace Simcoke, Finley.

Why We Want Playground

The children Of Warner school
think they ought to have a good
playground just as well as the child
rem Of other buildings.
Many of the children live in flats
and have no Fairgrounds. Warner
school is the only school in the
whole city that has no good play
grounds to play base ball and other
games.
We wish the people of the second
district would help us to get a
few lots to make a playground for
ball and other games. The schoo,
board can buy one for us.-Onis

HOLD NIGHT SCHOOL

The sixth, seventh and eighth
grades of White district school are
having grammar night school, be-
ginning at 7:30 and lasting till $50.
There have already been five
meetings. James Morgan is the
teacher of all eight grades and as
the time is limited to an average
of 2-3 minutes to every class, it
was decided to have night school
for the three highest grades in
different subjects, starting with
grammar. The teacher receives nc
extra pay for coming the two miles
out in the country to meet the pu-
pills, but does it for the good of
his scholars.
Some of the older people of the
community have asked to be in
cluded in the class to finish their
education.-Myrtle Gibson, Rep.

PRIZE COMPOSITION
THE HIKE

One Saturday morning at six
o'clock Aunt Molly took the sixth
grade girls from the Whitewater
SUMMER school on hike.
We walked up the hospital road,
We stopped to eat our lunch about
half past seven. We walked two
miles when we stopped again to
eat some bananas which Aunt Mol
ly had. We saw pretty birds on our
way. Aunt Molly told us stories
about them. Then we came to a
mulberry tree. The girls stopped
to pick some berries. A girl left
her hat by the tree and when We
had walked about three miles from
the mulberry tree the girl said that
she had left her hat by the tree. So
of course we had to go back and
get it. We went wading in the
river Aunt Molly told us to take
off our dresses for fear we would
get wet and have nothing to wear.
We were having very nice time.
Two girls fell in and were wet.
Then we started home for Aunt
Molly had to be at the Palladium
office by one o'clock so we had to
start home. On the way we came
to farm where there was a house
where the front yard was full of
rose bushes. The lady in the house
said that we each could have a
rose A girl did not act very well.
She refused to do what she was told
to do. | think when we are with
a company we should be very polite
and unselfish. I enjoyed it very
much and wish Aunt Molly would
take us on hike again.-Fannie

THIS WILL TELL YOU
HOW BOY BECAME RICH

Once there was a little poor boy
who sold peanuts. This boy, every
morning and evening went down to
the train to sell his peanuts. Many
people bought from him because
they were always fresh.
One day the train was full Many
people bought. After while when
he was walking along the train,
a man called to him to give him
some peanuts. The boy handed
him the basket. He took them all
but did not give him any money.
Just them the train pulled out.
The little boy went home crying.
When he got home his mother asked
him what was the matter, and he
said that a man took all his pea
nuts and never gave him any
money.
The next morning the boy was
not at the train. The people won
dered where he was. The same day
as he was playing in the sand man
came up. 1t was the same man that
took the peanuts away from him.
He said, at was mean of me to
take those peanuts away from you,
come with me-" And he led him
to a woods to big rock. He said
to the rock, "Open." 1t did. He
walked inside There were bags
and bags Of gold. He said they
were his.
The little boy ran home as fast
as he could and told his mother.
She went to the rock and said,
open" 1t did. She went in and
got some money and went down
town to get some food and clothes.
Many years after she died and the
boy got married and lived happy
the rest of his life.--Paul eleven

WARNER CHILDREN
WANT PLAYGROUND

Dear Aunt Molly:
The children of Warner school
are in need of a larger playground.
Since we are the second ward
school in size We have a very lit
tie playground.
One need of having larger play
ground is for the boys to play ball
in. The little children want a
larger play ground so that they
can play horses too. hope we
do get larger playground, we are
too crowded in this one.
Your friend,
Charles Surrender.

For Warner Playground

I think Warner school should
have a playground like the other
schools. We have hardly any play
ground at all, and the children don't
think it is right. We would like to
have a base ball diamond for the
boys and girls. The other schools
have better play grounds than we
do. Will you try to help us get
one? We will do all we can to get
one. The school board might try
to find an empty lot somewhere
for the boys and girls to play after
school. We are trying to get the
play ground for all the children
but mostly for the ones that do not
have any place to play at home.
for there are many children in this
district who live in flats.-Lucilc
Leonard, Warner school.

Ruth and the Kitty

Ruth was making her doll
dress. She was sewing long seam
around 1t. She heard rap-tat-tat-
tat. When she opened the door in
walked her kitty. Her mother said
Go and get your kitty some milk"
While she was gone her kitty hid
her sewing basket and needles and
thread. When she came in she
asked her kitty where her sewing
basket was. He only said Meow.
