BOYS UP CAMPING
HAVE GREAT TIME

For fear Richmond boys and girls
nay forget that there ever was such
, glorious thing as vacation, here is
)ne last whiff of camping, coming
straight from the lakes, which was
written only this last week. 1t
comes from Fred Clark, who has
been camping with Robert Bran
camp, and although he did not write
it for the public, it was too good
to keep:
September, 1917.
I have been SO busy trying to
catch fish that haven't had time to
write anything but postals. We eat
our breakfast and supper in the
cottage and DR.. Bramcamp is a fine
cook. We get our dinner at the
farm house. She is some dinner,
too.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harding and their
son are fine people. We get fresh
butter and milk all the time, with
coolies of cream floating around on
top. 1t tastes like home milk.
Honest now, forgot all about my
birthday until your letter came.
Bob chased me all over the place,
but got in the boat and roWed out
in the lake.
Mr.. Harding told us that Mort
Little, the policeman that was kill
ed, came up to this cottage every
year. Sounds "spooky."
caught rock bass, big perch
and four smaller perch today. l
threw the small ones lis The fish
are good eating. We have them for
breakfast. The beds are hard as
bricks but we have plenty of warm
covers, SO don't worry about that.
Mr.. Harding's son, Robert who
is about eighteen, carries ice. He
owns his own ice. We went down
by the ice house where he keeps
ice for the summer, and there we
found about two dozen turtle eggs.
Eight little turtles Of mine have
Matched. / am going to bring them
home.

Former Boys Secretary
Brammer Captured
For a German

Camp Shelby, Miss, Sept. II.
Dear Aunt Molly:
wonder if you think have for
gotten you and the good old Junior,
well l have not. will have to eX-
cuse myself by saying | have been
so busy. We get the Pail ever day
here and Mr. Learner and ! scrap
for it. 1t sure is Pal too believe
me.
The climate is ideal here, the
camp is on high ridge and we get
the best of the cool winds which are
always blowing. The sun is very
hot but you don't notice it like we
do up north, but the first few days
| was here | liked to died. The
prettiest picture is in the evening
when the sun is setting, the colors
of the sky are so rich and the tall
stalward pines in the distance are
great.
The camp will be completed in a
couple of weeks There are now
only about 1000 soldiers here but
we are expecting 10000 more this
week. There will be $4,000 here
when the camp is done. Our build
ing is up on a Hill and the soldiers
have been charging US thinking We
were Germans but when we were
captured | informed the captain we
were loyal Irishmen and that there
was 'shurley" a mistake. We were
then given our liberty.
If the folks at home would place
a one cent stamp on their maya
zines and mail them the soldiers
would have more to read and they
appreciate it. There are so many
little things to be done at home.
Give best wishes TO all our Junior
friends.
Yours truly,
V. ID. BRAMMER.

LIFE AT GREENSBORO
SCHOOL.

The school authorities began en-
tering patients on their books Sept.
3. They all came at once as though
they thought it was sale day on
bankrupt pocketbooks. Such a
throng you never saw, unless you
have been in Italy. Some of the
ladies were dressed in every color
of the rainbow and others had var
ious other colors on.
To tell the truth this week has
gone on e-z. Harold Nicholson has
to sit by certain girl-probably
that is the reason. There were a
few exceptions to this, of course:
No. /, Otto Crawford had about
eleven fights; No. 2, a grasshopper
QocusD was taking an airing in
the laboratory; and No. 3, we had
our voices tested Thursday.
Just because red is the sign of
danger is no reason that Harry
Conway should think himself dan
gerous.
The other morning as l was COM
ingto school on my wheel, brushed
the back of dog. He looked up
and growled as dark lightning dart
ed from his eyes, and said, Pm no
door mat" He then showed and
gritted his white teeth. Thinking
that he meant, 'bizness,' l speeded
up and replied, Neither am l
soup bone"
The boys are scalping the base
ball diamond while the girls are
scalping the tennis court. / thought
that we were out of the barbarous
age, but it seems they are as good
BARRIERS as ever
AS the students get more used to
their surroundings later, think I'll
have more to write about; If not
I'll make something up.-Chester
Atkinson.

THE LITTLE GIRL

Dear Aunt Molly: Once there
was little girl and she was poor
so one day she went to a woman to
wash dishes SO she could make
some money.
Then the woman and her hus-
band went away and left the little
girl to take care of their little baby
girl, because they had to see about
the other houses that they owned
When they came back they found
that the little girl had taken such
good care of the little baby girl that
she had grown almost as big as the
other girl. And the woman gave
her a nice coat and all her dresses,
and gave her $100.
She saved until she had $24 and
then she still saved on. But when
she wanted any groceries she went
and got some money.
She saved till she had $50. Then
she was grown and she bought her
little home of her own, and she
had a nice home. She was rich
after she was poor, and she took
her mother to live with 'her-By

Kindergarten Children
To Take Long Walks

IL we have bright sunshiny days
next week, the kindergarten chill
dren of several buildings will spend
part of their morning exercises out
doors, taking walks; finding new
fall flowers, looking for butterflies
and playing games. Since some of
the kindergartens are in the center
Of town or places where the chill
dren would have to walk too far to
be near park or open country,
they merely will have to eat their
lunches out on the grass at the
edge of the school ground and pre-
tend all the rest But in all the
buildings where the the children
can take the walks, they have such
good times that it almost makes
the other boys and girls wish that
they were back in kindergarten
once more.

FAIRY TELL TRUE

Near the OPENING to large for
est lived a woodcutter with his
wife. They had only one child, a
little maiden of three years old,
and they we're so very poor that
they could scarcely find bread to
eat from day to day.
One morning the woodcutter, full
of sorrow. went into the woods to
his work, and while he cut down
trees with his axe, all at once a
beautiful lady stood before him.
She had crown of glittering
stars ON her head, and diamonds
sparkled in her hair Then she
spoke to the woodcutter,-'T am
the good Fairy Tell True, and
mother of all good children. You
are poor and miserable-bring me
your little child, | will be mother
to her, and provide for her with
greatest care" The woodcutter
was very glad to give up his little
girl to such good fairy, so he call
ed her to him, and gave her to the
beautiful lady. who carried her off
to delightful palace in the clouds.
Here she was happy; she had
sugared bread to eat, and sweet
fresh milk to drink; her clothes
were of silk and gold, and she play.

all day.
Here she remained till she reach

the good fairy called her to her side
and said, Dear child, l have long

keys of the doors in my fairy pal

open twelve of these doors and ex-
anime the wonderful things which
the rooms contain, but the thir-
teenth, to which this little key be-
longs, you are forbidden to enter.
If you do, great sorrow and misfor-
tune will happen to you.
The young girl promised faithful
ly to remember this injunction, and
when the good fairy was gone, she
began at once to examine the
rooms of the palace. Each day she
unlocked one until she had opened
all twelve. In each room she saw
a fairy surrounded with clear and
brilliant light, and so much brigh-

MINUTE BOYS PROMISE TO
HELP

1.-THE Minute Boys" are ready to
do their bit. Already sixteen have
given their names to be on a list
to help at any time or In any way
that they may be needed, and yet
'The Minute Boys" was only start
ed on Thursday afternoon.
There are no dues or money af-
fairs connected with this organi-
cation, and any boy may belong
simply by giving his name, age, ad-
dress and Of possible, his telephone
number, either to the Junior Pal
ladium, or to the Red Cross rooms.
The purpose of having these
Minute Boys is simply to have a
list of helpers whom We know we
may depend on to help when they
are needed. Sometimes it might
mean to go on an erfand, after
school or on Saturdays. Sometimes
it might mean to have a part in
some parade, or to distribute food
pamphlets for the government.
Sometimes 1t might mean to help
give something out to our Rich
mond soldiers who are leaving, or,
if the boys prove they are trust
worthy, it might even mean still
more responsible duties.
Leoline Klus and Edwin May
from Warner School were the first
to give in their names, and Leoline
was so interested and anxious to
n olp fhof ha at 0nco hapap got
ting other boys to join, and this
is the letter he sent in yesterday:
Dear Aunt Molly-Now l have
10 boys that are willing to be Min
ute Boys in the "A, and 6 in the
5B.
Hats off;
Along the streets there come
A blare of bugles, ruffle of
drums. LEOLINE."

RICHMOND GIRL
WAS BORN ON SEA

When school began last Monday,
one of the first things for the boys
and girls who were just starting
into the first grade to do was tell
their name and where they live, and
also at Whitewater school they
were telling where they were born.
Most of them were born in Rich
mond, but one was born in Ohio
and another down in Kentucky,
while one little girl said she was
born on the sea.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
TO EDIT JUNIORS

The school children of Richmond
and probably also of other districts
about Wayne county are going to
show how they can edit their own
little newspaper during this winter,
and many are quite excited about 1t
already.
Each school, which cares to, will
be given a date when they can have
their own editor-in-chief and assoc
late editors 70 arrange for and
choose just what they want to fea-
ture in their edition. One full page,
or one-fourth of the Junior will be
given to them that week, and the
editorial staff can come up to the
Junior EDITORS office after school
and on the Saturday OF their edit
ion, to really do the work.
Already five weeks are taken, but
all other schools who wish to do so,
may have later dates and be plan
ming out how they want their issues
to look and what they wish to fea-
ture in them.
The method of choosing the edit
orial staff may be slightly changed
in different schools, but in general
it will be this: Editor-in-chief
elected from the upper grade ard
one associate editor elected from
each of the upper grades, with per-
haps reporter from one or two Of
the lower rooms.
So far the issues have been taken
as follows: Hagerstown because
of the big fair), Sept. %; Finley
School, Sept. 20; Whitewater
School, October 6; Hibberd School,
October 10; Warner School, October

Afrlca's Gold Coast.

The Gold Coast is a British colony
on the west coast Of Africa. It's eli
mate is VIGOROUSLY unhealthy, the
heat and moisture being excessive. The
coast Is lined with unhealthy swamps
and shallow lakes, while the peculiar
rock of the country is said to give off,
under the influence of the air and
moisture, large quantities Of hydrogen
gas. The native towns are crowded
and dirty, intermittent fevers and 9th
er diseases being always present
These are peculiarly fatal to Euro
peans. though the natives do not suf-
fer so much. The whole region is more
or less a gold producing country, but

in them. Can you tell me the size, To-
cation and number o. ho'ss to be
made?
We do not advise the boring OF holes
in either pistons or roGs. as it would
be Of little advantage. In drilling holes
in pistons, however. the common prac-
tice is to make them one lair inch in
diameter. Either two or three rows
are drilled. depending upon the length
of the piston skirt II is usual for
them to have pitch of about one and
one-half in"h-that is. the distance
from center to center Of the holes
should be one ard one half inch or
dinarily. The rows should of course.
be staggered, and in a piston having
a diameter of about three and one
quarter inches tWenty-four holes could
be put. In doing the work precaution
should be taken against cracking OF
breaking the thin shells OF the piStons
when drilling the holes. FIJI up the
inside of the piston with lead. or make
a block of wood to fit within it, thus
making it possible to drill the holes
safely.

April 80 at the latest. If they are prop
erly cared for thereafter they will be-
gin to lay eggs at the very time eggs
are most wanted.
To a great extent the poultrymen Of
the country have overlooked this sim.
pie fact. For one thing, birds Matched
later in the spring or summer are not
inclined to become broody until late
the following season. and thus an IN
profitable circle is formed. Each year
pullets mature too late to produce In
the fall and winter, and they sit too
late for their offspring to do any bet
ter The poultryman who wishes to
get really good returns from his flock
must break this circle.
The growing use of incubators has
made this comparatively easier. There
is no reason why incubators should not
be filed in March and early April and
the Matching over before May l. If no
incubator is available it may be pos
sible to secure broody hens in the
neighborhood That they will repay
the trouble and expense necessary to
obtain them is indicated by results at
the government poultry farm in Mary
land There it is not unusual to get q
daily average of one egg for every five
hens throughout the fall and winter
and in some pens the average has been
as high as one egg for three birds. II
anything like this percentage could be
obtained on farms the ordinary poul-
try farmer would derive real benefit
from the high prices which eggs in
variably bring for a period Of several
months

Will a car consume more or less gas
oine running at speed of sixty miles
per hour or at twenty miles per hour,
going the same distance7
Provided the speeds Of sixty and
twenty miles per hour are both made
on the same gear, that the spark in
both cases is carried reasonably ad-
vanced, that the car in both cases is
correctly adjusted and that the dis
tances covered are over the same or
similar routes, a car going under these
conditions at twenty miles per hour
will show more fuel economy than if
it were going at sixty miles per hour
A speed of about thirty miles per hour
gives the best economy on the average
car with good road conditions.
The type, adjustment and adaptable
ity of the carburetor TO the motor are
features that must be considered in
this, as some carburetors are made for
speed without regard to economy, and
vice versa.
