DON'T MISS THE
CHAUTAUQUA TONIGHT

Every boy and girl around Rich
mond will want to be out at the
chautauqua tonight, because this is
your night. Everything on the pro-
gram is meant especially to enter
tain you, and Henry, the Magician,
is such a wonder with all his tricks
and mysterious powers that you
cannot afford TO miss seeing it all
All the boys and girls from Wern-
lie Home are going to be the spe-
cial guests of the chautauqua, and
Patsy is going to give them each a
sack of his wonderful crackerjack
and also an ice cream cone: So
when you are out there, you can
look for them on the front seats,
and maybe you can sympathiZe
with a certain Richmond girl NAM
ed Ruth who said she wished she
was one of the orphans that night.

BOYS Start Nobleman Club

Some time ago, crowd of boys
up On Eleventh street were playing
bandit, wearing masks and burying
treasures, and one of the boy S
mother said that she thought that
was so far behind the times that
maybe the boys could have more
fun if they had a different kind of a
club, and SO this is what they start
ed:
Dear Editor: Would you like to
know of Nobleman Club on Eley-
enth street? The idea of this club
is to do nice, kind things for any
body and everybody. For the sick
or well. The boys have got to do
something, or else they cannot
join. The boys get medals for the
kind things they do, and the one
who gets the most medals, gets a
a prize. Yours truly-W. l. G.

HOW THE FORGET
ME-NOT WAS NAMED

Once upon time in a far coun-
try there lived a little boy and girl.
They were brothers and sisters.
They loved each other very dearly.
They lived in a little hut. By this
hut there flowed a river. The
girls name was Deloris and the
boys name was Jack. Across this
little river the children would
spend their afternoons in picking
flowers that we now call orget-me-
nots. So this is how it happened.
One day when they were out
there Deloris said to Jack, Jack,
will you get me that beautiful little
flower growing beside the river"
SO Jack went to get it for her
After he had it in his hands, his
foot slipped and he fell in the wa
ter, and he held the flower up ant
said, For get-me-not."

AEROPLANE FLIES
OVER BOYS HEAD

Dear Editor: We went over to
Dayton week age and we went
to the aviation grounds, twelve
miles from Dayton. We saw fiji
teen aeroplanes up at once, and one
flew right over our heads, about
twelve feet above us, and scared
my mother, and we all laughed at
her, and then went home and had
lunch.
The next morning | went out of
doors and you can't guess what |
saw. | saw an areoplane two thou
sand feet up in the air, and then
he turned loop the loops clear down
to the ground. And then he start
ed up again. And I will tell you
more about it next Saturday. Yours
truly-W |. C.

GIRLS! DO YOUR BIT

Dear Girls: When you are want
ed to take your place in this big
public way of showing our big
brothers how proud we are of them,
you won't fail, will you? You
don't know how much it will mean
to all those new soldiers who are
going away, to see all of you to-
gether, you younger girls from six
to twelve years old, dressed in
white and carrying the flags which
they will fight for Your section
of the parade will be one that they
never will forget, if only you will
do your bit and take part.
Don't feel that you won't know
where to go or what to do, because
as soon as yet get down there at
the corner of Fourth and South A
streets, there will be plenty of 9TH
er girls, and probably some of your
former teachers will be among the
committee of women there to tell
you what to do and help you find
your place.
We will give you your flags, so
that all you have to do is if posi-
BILE, dress in white so you will be in
uniform, get one or several other
girls to go down there with you,
and then be there at one o'clock
sharp.
Girls, you will do your part and
make this parade a great success,
won't you? We will be expecting
you.-Aunt Molly.

Hibberd School Receives
Letter from France

The boys and girls of Hibberd
school have the second letter to be
received in Richmond from our
adopted friends in France, and it
is from Adolphe, the little brother
of 'Odette, whom we have adopted
in the Junior. The letter was re-
ceived by Miss Schulz, who is the
principal of HibDerd school, and
she is keeping the original French
letter to show to all the Hibberd
boys and girls when school begins.
No doubt other letters will be ar
irving for all the other schools,
also, and We shall be glad to print
them in the Junior, too, SO that all
of you can read what our new
friends and allies from across the
water are writing to us.
Colleagues, July n, 1917.

received the draft you sent me, and
! write to thank you with all my
heart. 1t has given great pleasure

and sisters also.
She is very glad to have a little
more money, and | am too, for

pretty pinafore also.

braSe you.

kisses from your little friend

Boys and Girls May
Help the Red Cross

Richmond boys and girls are not
doing as much for the Red Cross as
they are in other cities. During the
whole summer not more than about
twenty-five children have been in
the Red Cross rooms, and yet there
are many useful things they can do.
In fact Mrs. Crichet, who has been
in charge during this last month.
has placed a table especially for
the boys and girls, but many times
there is no one there at all.
One of the main things the junior
helpers can do, is cutting up the
scraps of outing flannel into tiny
little pieces, to stuff pillows with;
another thing is cutting strips of
muslin, just as carpet rags are cut,
to be crochetted into floor rags for
the hospitals Girls who know any
thing about sewing may help make
the comfort bags, ard those who
prove that they are careful work
ers, even might roll bandages. Boys
are often needed to go on errands,
and the Boy Scouts have been bad
ly needed for the past week to wrap
up several large boxes of supplies
which are ready to be shipped
away.
In Indianapolis they have had
large window display of Red Cross
work that has been done by boys
and girls alone; and in many of the
t,i,1c ri
quite a little money for the Red
Cross by having flower sales.
And surely the Richmond boys
and girls are just as ready to show
their patriotism and do their ''bit.
Everyone knows where the Red
Cross rooms are, on the cor
ner of Ninth and North A streets, SO
go down there the first chance you
have and work.

MY CINCINNATI VISIT

Once this summer mother, sister
and myself visited Cincinnati on
the train to stay all day.
We went to Chester park. We
paid ten cents to get in. When we
got in we began to look around.
First thing | saw was swimming
pool or rather half of it. There
was a bridge over the middle of it
about six feet from the water at
the width of it. One side was used
for row-boating and the other side
was used for swimming. The wa
ter was about up to my neck. There
were two diving boards and three
slides.
Next thing we went to was the
house of hilarity. On the floor
there are all kinds of real small
holes. If you step on one of these
an air blast will come up and make
you jump off, making a very loud
noise.
Then there are moving stairs of
two kinds. One kind moves side
ways and the other stairs are the
ones that you can just stand still
and they will take you up to the
next floor. There are three kinds
OF slides which reach from one
floor to the other. There is
Spiral slide, a real wide slide and
narrow slide, both of which are
almost straight, coming from one
floor to the other.
Outside there are roller coasters,
merry go-round and all kinds catch
booths.-R. r. Myrick.

OLD GLORY

When Old Glory waves on high,
And the soldiers go marching by,
All that shows that they stand
By Old Glory.
For would they stand for the Red,
White and Blue
To be torn down and abused?
No, instead it waves on high,
And they keep it in the sky.
Now let us all say, United we stand
today,
And divided we will fall
For Old Glory.

BOYS MAY SHOW
PATRIOTISM ALSO

Many boys have been wondering
If any part has been assigned to
them in the parade on Monday.
None has, but any boy who wishes
to show his patriotism may march
with his father or brother, or per-
haps with his mother in the Red
Cross section. But If he has no
one to be with, he may show his
patriotism just as much by stand
ing along the sides and cheering for
our new Richmond soldiers at the
top of his voice.
