How the Elm Tree Got It's
Name
tOriginal)

Once upon a time. there was q
big castle. In this castle lived a
cruel Ogre who thought it a lovely
place.
One evening he sat thinking Of
some way to get his supper. He
ran out of the house and into the
woods.
There he saw little girl playing
by tree. Her name was Elma and
when the Ogre saw her he took her
to his castle. She was very much
frightened and tried to runaway.
But it was Of no use for the Ogre
was determined 10 eat her.
After while her parents missed
her and went on the hunt of her
They went into the woods to see
if she could be found there.
Then her father said, Il will GO
to her friends house. Maybe she
is there" Alright" replied the
mother, and ask her friend if she
knows where Elma is After he
arrived at her friends home she
was not Their. He though that
someone had stolen her. He asked
everyone he knew.
One day he and his wife saw the
Ogre hunting for his dinner.
When they saw him they ran
home. Then they happened tC
think that he was the one that had
taken their little girl.
Ever after that the tree under
which she was playing was called
the elm tree.'-Thelma Kerr, Age
| s, School District No. 6.

BIG PLAYGROUND
MADE IN THE GLEN

One of the greatest improve
ments made in Richmond for some
time which is of Importance to all
the children of the city, is the new
children's playground in Glen Miller
Park which Mr. Bavis Of the Board
Of Public Works expects to be done
by early summer.
This playground will be made in
the ground now taken up by the elk
park, and will also extend over the
ground just north, making total of
over four acres in the plot. In this
amusement park there will be four
tennis courts, baseball diamond,
and croQuet grounds. Then in the
ground to the north which is shad-
ier places will be provided for the
younger children to play, with
slides, sand-piles, teeters, baby ham,
mOcks and other things.
The elks will be moved to the
ground north of the deer park,

present home. Work on building
this new fence has been begun al
ready and will be pushed as rapidly
as possible

Rouinanians Like Color

Probably one Of the most notice
able characteristics of the Rouman-
ian women is the bright colors of
their dress and their painted faces
They are tall and muscular with a
dark complexion. They always
wear very bright colors such as:
Yellow, red, purple, green and
bright blue. The figures in the ma
terial are large and gaudy. They
never use soap and water but use
paint instead.
Their fancy work is very much
like the cross stitch the Americans
use. The thread is very bright and
as a general rule the color scheme
is very good. Gold and silver
spangles are used extensively, all
their idle time is spent with their
fancy work-Creensfork.

Native From, India
Talks to Students

On Monday afternoon, the stu
dents of the Richmond high school
We're very much interested in hear
ing a native from India tell about
his native country.
He said he was receiving twenty
five cents each month as rent for a
three room house in India.
He said they had $50 dialects
and a native ought to know at least
five or six to be able to understand
the natives in the different parts
Of the country.
He was dressed in one of the
native costumes of the people in
India, which was made from white
and yellow material. He had a dark
scarf around his neck, which had a
gold border at the ends. The hat
which he wore covered with red
material. The native of India can
tell to which class his friend be-
longs by the kind of hat he wears.
He also had pair of shoes which
the natives wear in India. They
were flat on the bottom and were
made about three inches longer
than the foot. This extra three
inches was doubled back so that the
point of the shoe almost touched
the tops of the shoe.
Another very interesting thing is
the way they eat their food, which
he illustrated by using water for
food. They do not eat with knives,
forks and spoons. They use a large
leaf for tray or plate and peanut
oil for seasoning.-IvaG lunt.

Boy Musician Called
Little Wonder

Joseph Lugar of Eaton, Ohio, who
played before the Richmond Music
al Study Club Wednesday afternoon
was called by many of the ladies a
little wonder" He is only thirteen
and in the eighth grade at school
but he played several selections
which would be difficult for the
average adult pianist.
He said he first began taking
lessons when he was about seven
years old, but he didn't like to prac-
tice very well then, and SO he stop
ped for almost two years. This
time when he began he liked it very
much and SO he has kept it up ever
since, except in the summertime.
and Joseph said he did not take
lessons then because it was too hot.
What he will do in the future, he
said, depends upon the progress he
can make in the next year or SO, but
from the present indications he
seems to have talent which could
be developed into ability promising
a career.

LENT HAS BEGUN
(Boy Tells Origin and Meaning Of
CuSton1,)

Dear Aunt Molly-Last week We
had written exercise on the fol
lowing subject. i thought you
would be pleased to hear about it.
Lent is q season Of fasting and
prayer In the old law the Jews fast
ed by the command of God. Moses
tasted forty days on Mount Sinai.
Elias tasted forty days in the des-
ert. Christ tasted and commanded
the Apostles to fast also.
The Lenten season was instituted
by the Apostles to remind us of our
Lords fast in the wilderness. 1t
begins on Ash Wednesday and ends
ON Easter Sunday. Sundays alone
are not fasting days. Ash Wednes-
day derives it's name from the Gus
tom of blessing ashes and sprink.
ling them On the heads of the faith
full to remind them that dust they
are and into dust they shall return.
We fast to initiate our Sagiour's
fast. To take part in His merits
and sufferings. To punish our bo-
dies SO that we can live a pure and
holy life and be ready on Easter
to worthily receive the Divine
Lamb. The most important part OF
fasting is to keep from committing
sin.-Griffin Jay, st. Mary's School.

FOR HUMANITY'S SAKE.

The news that Won Bethmaan-Hol-
veg will again offer peace set the
stock market nearly wild.
It is there, and there alone, that
immense fortunes are being made,
and thousands of modest fortunes
lost on account of the war. The stock
markets of the world have made, and
fed. and nourished the war. They
have sought to entangle every nation
in the net to increase their wealth by
human slaughter. It does not occur
to them that vast individual wealth
will soon be thing of the past, and
that the brotherhood of man alone,
can survive the terrible conflict. They
are made possible only by the ex-
penditure of wealth that even now
has ceased to exist, except on scraps
of paper" Short term notes, long
term notes, bonds, more bonds, loans
on munitions, and the steady des-
truction of all values, leaving only
paper, just as fuel leaves only ashes.
Every time peace proposals came,
the stock gamblers, these high priests
of Mammon, prevented their serious
discussion. Last year, when Germany
made peace proposals, they said Ger;
many was whipped and peace should
not be granted to her until she was
torn asunder. The stock gamblers
were thinking only of their paper
profits that depended on allied SOL
yency. Last Christmas, when Ger
many had the upperhand on every
front and offered peace they said that
It was impossible to entertain such
an idea, because Germany had not
been whipped. If Germany again Of
fars peace this week they will proba-
biy say that she is seeking peace be-
cause America is arrayed against
her. And again the stock gamblers
will grin.
But why despise any peace offer,
