One Of the best picture plays of
interest to Richmond children Is
the wonderful production of Jack
and the Bean Stalk" which will be
at the Washington theatre, Mon
day, November Goth.
Thirteen hundred children take
part in this play, and the old giant
is a real living giant eight feet
six inches tall. All through the
play 1t is the real fairy story, from
the Once upon a time" when Jack
took the COW to the market, and
was given the magic beans In re-
turn, to the very end, when Jack
took the princess and rushed down
the bean stalk with the old Giant
coming after them, and barely
reached the bottom in time to chop
the stalk down so that the old
Giant was killed and they all lived
happily ever after
There will be a special matinee
at four o'clock SO that all the child
rem may come in after school and
see it. And all who would like to
be carried away into a wonderful
fairy-land where beautiful prin-
cesses live in golden castles and
the terrible old giant is conquered
by a brave boy, should by all
means see Jack and the Bean
Stalk" on Monday.

The Naughty Little Boy

Once there was little boy whose
name was Tommy. He was a very
naughty boy. One night he ask
ed his mother if he could go to the
woods and hunt coon. His moth
er said he couldn't go to the woods
and hunt that night, because they
were going away.
Tommy waited until his mother
went upstairs to get ready. Then
he got his gun and went to the
woods. AS he was walking around
in the woods he heard something
coming. He stood and listened and
in q minute a large white COW was
stading by his side.
He ran until he finally came to
his back door. He raised the latch
and started to go in when some
thing said, "Whoo! Who'd" He
screamed so loud that his mother
came and got him.
She took him into the house and
put him to bed. He never went
into the woods again at night with
out his mother telling him he could.

MARGARETS CALF RIDE

One Sunday morning some
friends and Margaret motored to
the country to spend the day. Mar

around on the farm until dinner
time. Then they went in and had
big chicken dinner. After din
ner they went outdoors and hitched
a calf to a cart. They thought they
would take a ride so they got on
the cart. The calf went faster
than they thought II would and al
most threw them out. Then Mar
garet's uncle told them to unkitch
the calf before they got their necks
broken. And they did-Lelah Ham

THANKSGIVING THEN
Baxter School Editorial. }

About three hundred years ago
the Puritans had their first Thanks
giving. This year we will have
| ours. .
They suffered from cold, hunger
and sickness. They had to fight
Indians and wild beasts When
they wanted to build a house they
had to clear the forests or If they
wanted to plant their grain they
had to do the same thing. They
were fighting for freedom so that
| they could worship as they pleased
or thought best.
We arc fighting for a democracy,
so that all men may have their
rights.
The Pilgrims had to go through
cold, hunger and sickness. Now
we have heat and plenty to eat SO
we do not have to fight that But
we are fighting for a greater thing,
which is democracy. We are fight
ing for the world.
Some people will not have as
much to eat this Thanksgiving be-
cause they are saving it for the
soldiers Margaret Bowmer, 6B
grade.
When the Pilgrims mad Thanks
giving they had turkeys. In those
days they did not have stoves or
houses. Instead Of having, houses
like we do they had log cabins with
fire places on one side of the room.
Now the people have houses,
stoves and food. We generally have
Thanksgiving dinner but not a
large feast like the Pilgrims had
Janet Russell, 6B grade.
l think we should all be thankful
because we know the right way to
do things-Mae Morris, 6B grade.
It is only proper that we should
show as much courage as that little
band did. If we do, we will win
the war--Harry Lacey, 6B grade.
We are going through a great
struggle which Is related to the one
that our forefathers made. We are
fighting for the same thing that
they fought for, for democracy, the
greatest thing on earth
The Pilgrims had many more en-
emies than we have yet they were
brave. They had cold. hunger, wild
animals and sickness, while we
have none Of these, but we are
fighting one of the strongest ma
tons to give democracy to the
world, Our Thanksgiving is then
related to the first. For il we do
not win this war, democracy will
be crushed-Madeline M. Branson.
