BEST COMPOSITION
(From a Language Lesson in
Whitewater SchOol)
THE LOST BOY

Willie Burton was boy who liv-
ed in America long before the
white people built their homes
there.
Willie's father cut down several
of the trees in the forest to make a
clearing, so he could build log
cabin.
Willie was not allowed to go far
from the clearing because there
were wild animals and Indians in
the forest.
OF course he always wanted to
obey his father and mother. But
one day he saw strange bird and
he crept closer so as to get good
look at it, but the bird seeing him
flew far into the forest and Willie
followed after it until he became
tired and sleepy,
He sat down under a large oak
and the leaves seemed to say
"swish, swish" sleep, sleep" and
he fell fast asleep.
And when he awoke it was grow
ing darker and darker.
Willie became frightened and
started for home.
But where was home?
There were no paths or any
thing to show him which way to
go.
He threw himself upon the
ground and began to cry. While
he was lying there he heard a rust
ling in the underbrush when he
looked up. there he saw an Indian.
This frightened him but the In
dian told him not to be frightened
nor cry for he would not hurt, but
if he would tell him where he lived
he would take him home.
Willie told him where he lived
and the Indian picked him up and
carried aim home and they were
good friends ever after-Pauline

Children Learn About Wild
Flowers

Dear Aunt Molly-We had Wis
it in the woods. Our teacher took
all the boys and girls in our room
to the woods to gather wild flow
ers. We enjoyed it very much.
Miss Hoover taught us the names
of tho flowers.
When we were tired Of picking
flowers Miss Hoover invited US to
her home. She played my Coun-
try 'Tis of Thee" on the piano and
we all sang. Then Miss Hoover
passed fndge around. We had a
very good time, and all went home
about five o'clock. Mary Louise

Girls Take Dolls
Out Boat Riding

Little Bertha went with her
mamma one fine summer day to
visit Mrs. Williams who lived in
the country. She took her dolly
with her, as she always did
wherever she went, Mrs. Williams
had a daughter whose name was
Minnie. Minnie was larger than
Bertha, and she did everything she
could to make her little visitor
happy. They fed the chickens and
the pigs and looked at the colts and
calves ever so long; then they
picked basket of wild flowers by
the side Of the pond.
"Oh," said Minnie, "let us get in
the boat and l will push you out
in the pond" So they put the bas-
ket of flowers in one end OF the
boat and set dolly in the corner at
the other end.
Then the two little girls jumped
in and were pushing out among
the tall reeds, when two geese came
swimming up and little Bertha fed
them with cracker. The two lit.
tie girls had a delightful afternoon,
and Bertha went home very happy
over her visit to the farm.-DCrothy

MARTA'S DOLL

Marta, the little Belgian peas
ant girl. was playing with her doll
one sunny afternoon in January.
She sat before the fire In the small
hut where she and her mother liy-
ed alone, for her father had gone
to war. She was singing to her
doll when her mother ran into the
room, her face as white as the snow
outside, and her eyes wide open
with terror.
Marta! Marta" she cried. 1--WE
must go quickly! The German sol
diers are coming, and what will
happen IL We are taken captive?
Gomez"
Although Marta was only four
years old. she understood only too
we'll who the Germans were, for
since the war began, she had heard
many horrible stories OF the cruel
ty of the Germans to the Belgian
peasants.
So, hugging her precious doll in
her arms, she ran after her mother,
who was hastily tying some house
hold goods in a large blanket. Al
ready the narrow village street was
crowded with terrified peasants.
Women with children clinging to
their skirts, men too old to fight.
and boys too young, all helped to
make up wailing mob of people.
Marta and her mother joined the
throng, trudging along quickly at
first, but slowly and more slowly
as the cold began to penetrate their
heavy shoes and wraps.
At last, Marta felt as If she could
not move another step, but, being
brave, she said nothing to her
mother, who, weighed down by the
heavy bundle was dragging her
tired feet along YEARLY. Suddenly
everything turned black. and Marta
fell, dropping her doll in the snow.
Her mother, letting her bundle
fall, picked up the WORKOUT child
and went on, leaving the doll lying
where it had fallen. At last the
refugees reached monastery,
where they were cared for by the
kindly monks.
A few weeks later, after the snow
had melted, some belated travellers,
anxious to get out of the country,
came along the path and, finding
Marta's doll, they took it to Ameri-
ca with them, little dreaming the
story which lay behind it.-By Lois
Williamson, Columbus, Ohio.

OUR TRIP ON THE OCEAN

One beautiful morning Ill May
my father took John. Henry,
George, Ruth and myself out on a
trip on the Atlantic ocean. We
started early in the morning and
took some lunch of sandwiches and
cake to eat at noon for we were
going to stay all day. We had been
on the ocean for about an hour
when George. who is so full of fun
md always frIghtens the children,
called out, ooh! father, what is
that" Father said. George. that is
Il submarine chaser that yon chill
dren wanted to see so badly" 1t
passed us ana we watch it till it
was a speck in the distance. Then
Henry who is always hungry. called
out that he wanted something to
eat And father said that il was
noon. so we ate our lunch. After
that we landed on an island and
went in wading. and afterwards in
swimming. until the sun went
down. Then John who always
wants to go little farther out
than the rest, went way out when
the tide WIS coming in and he was
nearly drowned. But we had a
good time. We went home then
and told mother all about it, Elma

FROM THE KINDNESS

her father by saying, why doesn't
old Mrs. Robinson ever have any.
one to talk to. mother?"
BE quiet don't you hear your
father talking about the big aero
planes that fly way up in the
clouds?'
Early that evening Betty Jane
went to bed because she had run
and played all day. She lay quite
still in her little bed and after a
while a little boat came rocking in
on a sea of moonbeams and at the
helm stood a fairy.
Lets go riding up into the
Clouds" said the fairy. land we
shall see what the fairies of the air
are doing"
So Betty Jane climbed in and
they sailed away, and Betty loved
the rocking Of the boat and soft
night that breathed against her
cheek.
Suddenly the little girl looked
far off into the dark sky and said.
Look! way over there. What is
that fairy doing?"
Betty Jane almost upset the boat
in her effects to see away in the
distance
We'll sail over there and see"
said the fairy.
When they grew near they saw
that the fairy in the other boat was
scattering something from her
hand upon the earth below.
What is it," cried Betty.
THE fairy scatters seeds of kind
ness all through the long night.
Sometimes when the weather is ia
vorable the seeds sprout over
night. Sometimes they are long
time in taking root and blossom
ing. And sometimes here the
fairy stopped to wipe a tiny tear
which sparkled on her eyelash.
sometimes the little seed are not
taken in and nourished as they de-
serve to be-"
But fairy said Betty Jane.
there is no one to guide the boat.
how does she know where to go
and drop them"
"Oh dear, she doesn't know, but
she scatters them with a free hand
over and try to fall on all. We are
getting pretty near, turn the wheel
so we won't bother her with her
work
Back through the sea of moon
beams they went and the little
boat rocked once more and soon
Betty was fast asleep again on her
own little pillow.
Early the next morning the little
girl slipped out into the garden and
picked some blossoms. And Mrs.
Robinson was happy all day long
after Betty Jane had brought some
flowers in to her.-By Esther Nc.

Notes of Interest to Junior
Palladium Readers

Don't forget that the Richmond
May Musical Festival is the most
important musical event of the
year. The pupils Of the grade
schools will give their concert al
the Coliseum. Friday afternoon,
May 25th. The program has not
yet been announced. and when you
ask the girls and boys about il
they say: "You just wait until you
hear us sing, for we intend to give
you big surprise"
Garfield school chorus, consist
ing of about 400 voices, and the
orchestra of about GO members,
will appear on the evening of May
Gath in the Coliseum. The Garfield
boys glee club and girls chorus
will also take part in this program,
which is under the direction of
Miss Edna Marlatt.
The High School chorus and or
chestra will have their concert on
the evening of May 25th, and will
be directed by Prof. Ralph s;loane.
Didn't you enjoy hearing the lit
tie folks at the West Richmond
community sing?" said Uncle
Major. ''If you were present, you
will remember how they SANG Old
Black Joe.' Right in the middle Of
the song, Prof Sloane. the director,
asked everyone to keep quiet ex-
cept the little folks and let them
sing a part of it by themselves.
Yes, your Uncle Major certainly en-
joyed it,"
Don't you think all us school
children could get together and
have a sing" asked one enthusiast
tic young fellow.
That's a good idea" said Uncle
Major. "You might call it public
school sing, and invite children of
all ages to take part. and those in
the upper grades should remember
that it has not been many years
since they sang some of the same
pleasing little songs that are now
taught in the lower grades. es-
necially some of those beautiful lit
Tie verses written by Stevenson.
"And wouldn't it be an enjoyable
affair when such a varied program
could be given without much prepa-
ration, just like the other big COM
munity sings? One class or section
could sing a certain part of song,
and then all together Cor ensemble
which is a better word to use), and
then the older music students could
sing or play some of your well
known school songs showing how
beautiful they really are when
good expression is given.
Whether or not you have pub
lc school sing. there are going to
he more community sings, and it
has been suggested that one should
be held next Christmas (most girls
and boys think that is long time
10 plan aheadl, but anyway your
Uncle Major will be there"
Eyes, I enjoyed the community
sings much better than | had ex-
pected,' said Aunt Minor "You all
know what kind of a voice Uncle
Major has. and it always made me
feel nervous when he persisted in
singing out so loud. But | have de-
cided that the best place for us to
90 is the community sing. for ev-
eryone else sings. and then you

BAYoNNE, N. J., April 2O.-Uncle

dreds of shipbuilding plants have con.

To see how these chasers are built
have just been permitted to go
through the plant of the Electric
Launch company of Bayonne, which
built $50 chasers for the British govern
ment in $50 days, and has procured
contract for the new 11O-foot model
