Ethel Hough Writes Com.
position on the Cotton
Industry
Dear Juniors:

Dear Juniors:
Since have never written before. T
thought would write a little bit,
My subject is on The Cotton Indus.
try OF the New England States.
Over hundred years ago, some
skilled men invented some machines
for spinning and weaving cotton
goods. Many people were coming over
to this country, but England would not
let any person bring over machines or
patterns.
In the year 1889 Samuel Slater came
over to this country and he remember.
ed how to make machines. He made
one and started the cotton industry IN
Rhode Island where he settled. Most
OF the cotton used came from the
southern states. It is pressed and put
into bales 300 pounds in weight and
sent to the New England port. Under.
wear, stockings, and ribbons are man. !;
ufactured Many women and girls are /
engaged in these cotton mills. New
Bedford, Lowell, Manchester, Paw.
tucket are the chief cities for cotton
goods.
Textile schools have been made
along the Fall river and at Lowell
Mass, to prepare skillful workers.

Donald Brown on Brother
Fox and Brother Rabbit

Dear Junior:
l am going to write story about
Brother Fox and Brother Rabbit,
which ] made up myself.
One fine morning Brother Fox met
Brother Rabbit cominr hoppity- skip,
hoppity- skin down the lane to Farmer
Grey's
How do YOU do. Brother Fox" said
Brother Rabbit. 1T is a very fine day
he continued, won't you come along to
Farmer Grey's cabbage patch with
me?''
81 think might as well go along with
you" said Brother Fox, las l have
nothing to do"
Now Brother Fox was always trying
to get the best Of Brother Rabbit. but
Brother Rabbit always came out on
top.
Brother Fox had plan up his sleeve,
so that is why he consented to go along.
This was Brother Fox's plan: While
Brother Rabbit was gathering cabbage
leaves he would let Farmer Grey's
hounds see him The hounds would
chase him and he would head straight
for the cabbage patch. Poor Brother
Rabbit would be scared to death and
run away for he would think the
hounds were after him instead Of
Brother Fox.
At last Brother Rabbit and Brother
Fox arrived at the cabbage patch
While Brother Rabbit was getting cab
bage leaves Brother Fox slipped quietly
away But he was mistaken when he
thought Brother Rabbit did not see him
out of the corner Of his eye. When
Brother Fox got to the cabbage patch
with the hounds after him there was
no Brother Rabbit there. Whew! But
Brother Fox was mad! He had long
ways to run home Besides he was
afraid that the hounds might find out
where his home was.
The next day Brother Fox met
Brother Rabbit.
How did you like the chase the
hounds gave you yesterday, Brother
Fox" said Brother Rabbit. and he
rolled over and laughed.
Brother Fox was madden than ever
and was more determined to get the
best of Brother Rabbit some day.

Katherine Barley
Knows All About Cotton

Dear Juniors This IS my second
letter that | have written to the
Courier Junior.
will try to tell about little worm
that lives in cotton.
1t is about an inch and half long.
It's color is green with light yellow
stripes and black dots along the back
1t has sixteen legs.
The mother moth lays her eggs on
the under side of the tender leaves.
The little worm is very small at first.
But they grow very rapidly after reach
ing It's full size.
The worm lives fifteen or twenty
days. Then it makes a little bed OF 4
leaf of the cotton and silk which comes
out Of its body.
1t sleeps for about ten or twelve
days and bursting open its little bed it
comes out moth. 1t is an inch long
and has two pairs of wings.
These worms destroy great many
cotton plants. Some times they build
fires in the fields to catch these little
moths. The little moths will fly around
the fife until they are badly burned
They will die. Sometimes large plates
spread with molasses and vinegar are
put in the fields. They catch a good
many Of them in this way. 1t only
takes a little cold to kill them.
Some years there are SO many OF
these worms that the planters have to
use great care in order to have good
cotton plant.

Olga McWilliams on the
Boston Tea Party

Dear Juniors - This Is the story of
the Boston Tea party. Before the revo-
lutionary war the people from England
came to America. They worked hard
to make themselves homes. The king
of England said that he was going to
make them pay him tax on stamps.
The people Of Boston and other cities
were very angry and asked the king
not to pass such an unjust law. But
the king would anyway. The law did
not work as well as the king thought it
would. So he put an end to it. OF
course the people were glad to see the
last Of It, They thought perhaps the
king will treat us better. But in two
or three years the king passed another
law for them to pay him tax on tea.
So the American people stopped drink
ing it. The king thought that he could
make them take it. So he sent over
ships loaded with tea. Some Of the
ships went to Charleston, others came
to Boston. The Charleston people I'M
loaded them but they stored them away
in cellars and 1t was soon spoiled by
the dampness. They could keep them
from landing for twenty days. The
people OF Boston went to the Old South
church to think Of a way to drive them
back. They couldn't drive them back
but they did do something else. One
dark night while the ships were lying
in the wharf an Indian warwhoop was
heard and thirty or forty savages
jumped on board the ships and soon
the tea was floating around in the
ocean. Where did the savages coma
from? The truth is they were not In
dams at all. They were Boston men
who meant to destroy the ships.

turned like a flash. and before any
one of us could say Jack Robinson
he was across the room and up in
Uncle Ted's chair. We all stared for
a minute. then Joe sang out
why he was just April-fooling
Uncle Ted"
Then we all clapped our hands and
yelled April FOOL" as loud as we
could
Uncle Ted laughed louder than any
of US. THE little tyke." he said.
"Well he beat you boys, anyhow
But we didn't care because Uncle
Ted had been fooled, and We were be-
ginning to be afraid he wouldn't be.
Bob just twisted around and put his
head down on his paws just as he al
ways does. then he opened one eye
kind Of slowlike and winked at Uncle
Ted. He really did. We all saw him.
Uncle Ted laughed again and said
to Jimmie:
"Jimmiekins, run out into the hall
and bring in a package you'll find in
my overcoat There's no April-fool
about that"
There wasn't, either, for it was a
box of candy, the kind mother lets US

he likes candy, too.
