Why We Have War

out Of the window for some time.
thinking as hard as he could. why
do men 60 to war and kill each 9TH
er, anyhow? Why don't they just
stay at home?"
Grandmother Gray smiled as she
said, That's a pretty big question.
Jimmie.
I'm the first place, you must real
ize that q great struggle to live is
going ON all the time in all the
world, between the flowers and
the weeds, between different kinds
Of animals. and sometimes even
between animals and men. There
are so many more seeds put into
the earth each year than possibly
could grow, that to live they have
to fight just as hard as they can
for food and water and air. and
when one does live 1t means that
the other things which wanted to
live in that place, had to die. So
that war Is q very old thing and
has been going on in the world ever
since life began. What do you
have to do every day or SO In your
onion bed?"
Il have to pull out those old pes
terry weeds" answered Jimmie G.
promptly. He had had experience
enough to know.
"Of course you do. Because to
let the better things live. the bad
things have to die. Plants and
weeds cannot think or reason
things out and so they either crowd
out the others and live, or are

Find People of Stone Age

San Clemente is an island about
sixty miles west of Los Angeles
where many relics of the men of the
stone age recently have been found.
In one sandy place so many were
found close together. with their
heads crushed and the stone ham
mers lying there with them, that it
must have been battle field of
centuries and centuries ago. In the
real burying grounds they find these
old stone-age people all facing the
east and buried in a sitting position
with their knees drawn up and their
heads bent over. All their worldly
p0sstssions we're buried with them,
and stone spears, stone jars and
even stone flutes have been found.

Bows Celebrate Flag Day

Last Thursday afternoon mob
of the Palladium street carr .ers had
regular parade to celebrate Flag
Day. With the accompaniment Of
an orchestra made up Of old dish
pans, the parAders marched full
force back and forth on Sailor
Street, with poor dilapidated,
but none the less patriotic Old
Glory in their lead. All who saw
the display and heard the shouting
agree that they made more noise
than Sousa's Band possibly could,

Notes of Interest to Junior
Palladium Readers

I. Richmond has some real young
violinists who will no doubt become
professionals. as proven BY the
way they played at Pref. Hicks re
eital last Wednesday evening.
Those who took part in the pre-
gram were Elmer Beseher. Argus
Ogborn. Howard Dietrich. Marie

Robert Hough, Joseph Hale. Rich
ard Robbins, VIM. Rooney, Donald
Ramsey, John Black. Margorie

Wissler. Gladys Longnecker rem
aered beautiful piano selection.
The Youngest yiolinist on the pro-
gram was Master Robert Hough,
who didn't seem large enough to
handle the bow, but he played
splendidly. All the young folks
are to be congratulated for their
work on the violin, one Of the most
difficult and most beautiful Of mu-
steal instruments. Many in the re-
cital had not studied over a year.
This shows what young Richmond
can do in a musical way.
The public schools of Eaton, @.
has an orchestra and chorus, under
the direction of Mrs. L. G. King.
The orchestra consists Of eighteen
members and the chorus Of about
fifty. The orchestra consists of
the following:

choked themselves until they die.
"And it even was the same way
with men, thousands of years ago.
If two men of the Stone age want
ed one certain cave for their home,
they would pick up their huge clubs
and which ever one killed the 9TH
er. would 60 into the cave and live
happily ever after, unless he met
another horrible man. They did
not think or reason; they simply
settled their matters by killing
each other"
"Well, l just tell you, I'm glad l
didn't live them" said Jimmie G.
$50 am l." agreed his grand
mother. "And / don't think even
those men were perfectly satisfied
with that way of doing, because it
was not many hundreds of centur-
les before these rough old ances-
tors of ours began making family
agreements themselves enough so
that at least the members of one
family or tribe would not kill each
other and even would help each
other fight against the wild ami
mails and hostile tribes that at
tackled them. And these family
agreements grew to be fixed laws"
"Oh l know" broke in Jimmie
G. I'VE have laws now, don't we
grandmother"
Eyes, indeed we do" Grandmoth-
er Gray assured him. "And the rea-
son we do, is because men found
out that having laws was the only
way they could live together
peacefully and make their lives
worth while. And SO they made
more and more laws until many
tribes united and began living un-
der the same laws, and then they
were nations.
why. that's just the way the
United States is now, isn't it" in
terrupted Jimmie G.
"Yes," smiled his grandmother,
hut we are far more complex than
the first tribe-nations were. We
have laws, for the cities, and laws
for the counties, laws fer the. state
and laws for the whole nation. And
more than that, Jimmie. we. have
laws for Ill the whole world, called
International laws"
But grandmother began Jim
mic once more, what would the
people do II they didn't want to
keep these Laws? 7"
''In q republic as we have, we
mako cur own laws, 70 that II the
I people as whole do not like law
they can have their senators and
/ representatives change it. but II
just one person doesn I want to
keep q law. he either has to 80
away from the country or else pay a
penalty, In money or by going to
prison. ~
But when one whole nation will.
not keep the laws and agreements
which 1t has made with another
nation, or when some new question
comes up that they cannot reason
out, then they go back to that old
way of killing each other until one
nation is ready to give up"
II don't think that's very NICE"
said Jimmie e., after u moments
pause.
Neither does anyone else."4
agreed Grandmother Gray, and
now everyone is looking forward to
the time when all the nations can
be joined IN a great world union
with a congress Of representative
from every country on this earth to
make the laws. and . great world
police force to see that they are car
ried out. And then, Jimmie, you
see we wont have wars anymore"

NEWSY N E w S
and FICTIO N,

Some time ago l promised the
suffering readers of this column a
bugs eye view OF my life. Now,
of course that bug was a mosquito
and the inconsiderate animal has
been so busy sitting on my left
ear, he refused TO stand of and
buzz about the general view he
witnesses from above. G
Such is my life.
Taken from this standpoint, I'm
getting to be pretty big and, pref
ty tough situation. There for
awhile, when Twas a baby, that
mosquito had a fine time. He was
content to have eight meals a day
OF me.
He saw me while ! used to have
. pretty little cat named ,Buella,
which was dearer to me. than any
dog or plaything. Bueiia, who had
white or yellow stripes all over
her body, would follow me around
like a dog. When l. had my first
broken arm tfor l have had three)
Buella purred to me and just seem
ed. to comfort me all the time. I
know beat her, but she would run
away. only to be back the next
moment, expecting to receive twice
as much petting to make up for
the beating. i.
The next episode which that NOS
quito might have witnessed hap
pened several years later. One
day 1t showed about twenty inches
of snow everywhere it could think
of, even at Centerville. Ralph Bal
linger and ! started to build nice
brand new snow house in his back
yard. Everything went along fine
inside and out. We built q tower
and a turret with fort oil around
our snow house. when. along came
a rain and melted 1t down.
Then Ralph and l got into fuss
and we've been fussy ever since.
The next episode inc. 81 was
exactly Ave years ago l got into
a fight with Jimmie Ayers. jim
always did pick on me. So, one
night my mother sent me to the
grocery after some things, chiefly
eggs. Now Jim met me outside
Of the grocery and hit me right
where l had those eggs.
+ Now. wasn't going to have my
eggs busted. so l laid my things
carefully. up on the counter, and
went to him. .,.
Well. I wouldn't be telling you
about the fight If / hadn't licked
him.
The next episode that mosquito
Witnessed was the organization of
