THE RANCH BOYS

One summer after school was
out. Donald and John went out
west to stay the whole
- summer. Their home
Ma was in Brice, Ohio.
When they got out
there. their uncle gave them each
a pony. Donald named his pony
Billy. John named his Willy. They
each had a cowboy suit and pistol
and bullets in their belts. And as
soon as they put on their cowboy
suits, and got their lassoes. they
took a ride on their ponies.
After they got out on the ranch
they saw an eagle, and shot at
him. Several feathers fell to the
ground. Then the eagle started
to fight the boys. He took his
claws and scratched their faces
and pulled out part Of Johns hair.
Donald got away from the eagle
and shot him.
Then Donald carried the eagle
back to the ranch, and the boys
showed the other cow boys what
they had shot.
The next fall the boys brought
back the gun and several of the
feathers to show to their friends
at school.-By John Wesley Pals

hasn't hurt It one bit; even the
mud has been washed off by the
rain. And there's a beautiful blue
one. and fine big black one, and
q lavendar and q purple one too.

the only ones who escaped the
storm"
The Girl never knew, but the
pansies did. And that day Polly
pansy and all her pansy family saw
the most wonderful sights and had
the most wonderful celebration of
any pansy family on record.
"Say mother" said Jean very
slowly, after the story was all over.
"Do you think that was a real
Grandmother Pansy that l tore
up?"
I'm afraid maybe it was," an
swered her mother. but I'm sure
you won't hurt any more flowers,
will you?"
And she didn't.

THE BIRDS HOUSE

once upon time a little boy
named Rollo put bird house in a
sycamore tree and flock of blue
birds came to the tree and built a
nest in the bird house. ..
One bird went inside of the bird
house and looked around, then she
went out and said to the other
birds. LET us make our home
here" "All right" said the other
birds, SO they built their nest there.

mother Gray's we can't 60 down
there for two weeks, and we wont
hear any more Of her stories"
There was a low green bowl of
pansies on the window sill, and
Jean began pulling them out and
fretfully jerking them to pieces, one
by one.
Just then Jeans mother came
into the room in time to hear the
last words and see the action.
why. Jeanie," she exclaimed,
what are you doing to that poor
little grandmother pansy."
Jean said nothing, but threw the
torn jagged 'pansy on the window
sill.
She's a-pullin' off its chin whis-
kers," explained little Marty in her
slow drawing way.
I'm not either" snapped Jean.
II guess grandmothers don't have
chin whiskers, SO there. And be-
sides pansy's only a pansy any
how"
Hasn't Grandmother Gray ever
told you the story about Polly
Pansy," asked jeans mother as she
picked up her sewing and began
making button holes in Martyrs new
pink dress.
NO" breathed Jean, her face at
once Frightening up. "Oh mother
dear, wont you please tell us?"
"Yes. motherdy. please" added
Marry.
"Well. it was several years ago
that ! happened to hear her telling
II to your cousin Janet, but I'll see
how much l can remember" said
their mother. and SO she began:
Once upon a time there was q lit,
tie Polly pansy who lived in big
sunny pansy bed by the side of a
house. She was only small pansy
but she was very happy, and was
especially proud OF her bright yell
low dress because 1t looked so
much like the sunshine. Her fam
lily lived about her, and q very
handsome family it was.
There was the grandmother
pansy with her lined and wrinkled
face, dressed In layendar, the
straight tall father pansy dressed
In suit that was almost jet black,
the sweet mother pansy dressed in
shades Of blue. and the stylish big
sister pansy with her flashing gown
Of purple and yellow. And every
day when the little girl who owned
the pansy bed came out to give the
pansy family a drink Of cool fresh
water. they always would hold up
their heads as high as they could,
hoping that she would choose one
OF them to be picked and taken on
the wonderful journey in to the
fairyland house where real people
lived. But the pansy bed was so
large, and this family lived SO far
away from the walk that the little
girl never could reach far enough
to pick them.
Little Polly pansy in her bright
yellow dress was especially disap-
pointed.
Il don't see why the Girl doesn't
take me-" she said one day when
she had held her head up unusually
high. I'm sure I'm just as nice as
some Of those who always are
chosen because they happen to live
where they do"
Never mind. DEAR" said her
mother, your time will come some
day. Just wait until you grow a
little larger. and then I expect she
will see you and pick you at once.
Think how your father and grand
mother and all of us have been
waiting all this time. and we never
have been fortunate enough to be
chosen for the wonderful journey.
You must Just be patient, dear"
but mother, why aren't we one

ming will be for beginners, the Sec
ond for intermediates, and third re-

The Garfield school orchestra
will have summer course, meet
ing twice a week, Tuesday and Fri

I'm so busy with my garden
that l can't find time to learn the
patriotic songs" said one Junior
Palladium reader.
"Well,' replied Uncle Major II
see you have the patriotic spirit all
right, for that's what the country
needs right now is an army Of little
gardeners, but that don't excuse
you from learning to sing 'Ameri-
ca You can sing while you are
working, counting the time with
every stroke of the hoe, and in this
way you would be doing real serv-
ice for your country and the pa
triotic songs would make your work
seem easier Just try it and see!"
"That idea of singing and work
ing together sounds good to me-"
said Aunt Minor, "but when you
try it, please don't use the 'andante
movement that your Uncle Major
uses when hoeing his own garden"
