Canning Clubs and War
Gardens Save $4,000, 900

Last year 100000 was con-
served by the boys and girls Of
America through the canning clubs
and war gardens which the chill
dren conducted. More than two
million children took part in these,
and by the reports which they sent
in. the government officials are
able to estimate the part which
American boys and girls are do
ing to help win the war.
This year the season is only
about half over and from the great
spirit the children are showing, it
seems that their bit" is growing
to be larger and larger all the time
But there is still plenty to do, and
Mr.. Murphy and Miss Nina Short
are hoping that the boys and girls
will do even more to make Rich
mond and Wayne county come ny
higher still in the scale.
Canning clubs still may be or
ganiZed. and any child who is in
terested in joining one or starting
new one may call the Palladium
and the Junior editor will be glad
to help in this cause.

American Men Play Games
with French Children

One of the most interesting
things Mr.. viii jenkins has told
since his return to Richmond from
helping the French refugees in
northern France, was the way the
big strong American men take care
of little French children.
At one village where he was sta
toned there were twenty-eight thin
faced children who walked quietly
to school in the morning and home
again at night, with no real life or
spirit. Even at recess time, they
only came out onto the playground
and walked or sat about for fifteen
minutes and then went back again.
But the American men were used
to seeing American boys and girls
running and playing all recess time,
and racing back and forth to school,
SO they began teaching them Amer
lean games. Mr.. Jenkins and the
other workers themselves played
tag and drop the handkerchief with
those little French orphans and by
the end of two months, all the chill
dren were laughing and shouting as
they raced about the Fairgrounds
all recess long with as much energy
and spirit as the American boys
and girls themselves.
Il believe the spirit we Ameri-
cans are putting into the French is
one of the greatest things We have
done," said Mr.. Jenkins. 1.-THE
houses We built up were knocked
to pieces in few hours, and many
of the wounded men were rescued
and healed only to be wounded
again, but the spirit and life of the
Americans has made new life and
spirit even for the little French
children, and that lasts"

PRIZE WINNERS ANNOUNCED

That the Richmond boys and
and girls have the true spirit of the
Battle of Bunker Hill was shown by
the way in which they turned dis
aster into the greatest success,
during the flower sale for Belgian
babies last Saturday. When the
supplies failed to come, they ripped
artificial forget-me-nots off of old
hats or manufactured little boquets
in almost any manner to supply
the need, just as the old patriots
melted up their pewter spoons and
dishes to make bullets, and the sue
cess of the day lies far more in
the unselfish spirit of the Camp
fire girls and their friends who
sacrificed their chance of winning
prize and made boquets for others
instead.
Since the manner of selling the
flowers was so different, the num-
Der of prizes has been enlarged and
the prize winners are as follows:
First Prize-Largest group sell
lers, $685.; Ruth Critchet, Char
lOtte Colvin and friends, a book.
Second PriZe-Second largest
group sellers, $53.40; Katherine
Carr, Mary Jones, Marian Hill and
Pauline Smith, a Belgian flag.
Third Prize-Largest house-to-
house sellers, $29.49; Margaret Coe
and Alice Starr, a book.
Fourth Prize-Highest individual
seller, $4,000; Anna Catherine
Sharkey, a Belgian flag.
Fifth Prize-Highest boy seller
$11.00; David Marvel, a Belgian
flag.
Sixth Prize-Second highest boy
seller, $3.50; Elmer Porter.
Children may call for their prizes
at the Commercial Club rooms.

SCHOOL MARKET Is
GROWING SUCCESS

That the children's market is a
growing success is agreed by every
boy and girl who takes part in the
sale. More children are entering
each time, and a larger number of
patrons attend.
Potatoes, corn, oatmeal cookies,
cottage cheese and beans proved
the best sellers at the Fridays
market.
The highest amount, 1884, was
made by Mabel Gustin, of the
Arlington pike, the smallest amount
was 20 cents, made, however by
only having beans to sell.

8-Yem-Old American
Girl Is Heroine

Boys and girls in France and
Belgium are not the only heroes
and heroines in the world today.
Rose Blumberg is only eight years
old, but she was brave enough to
rescue her grandmother and grand
father and little six months old
baby from a burning house during
the night.
She lives in little town in Penn
sylvania called Pottstown, which
has no fire department. And so
when she awakened, about eleven
o'clock, and found the rooms thick
with smoke, her first thought was
Of her grandparents who were Wis
iting them.
Rushing to their room, she hasti-
ly awakened them and helped them
out Of the building, and then quick
ly returning, she carried out the
six-months-old baby Of a friend
who also was visiting at their
home. The other people in the
house barely had time to escape in
their night clothes.
The fire alarm was sent in to
Philadelphia, and the fire company
Of that city made the run Of four
miles, in only ten minutes, so that
the other buildings were saved
from destruction, although the
house in which little Rose Blum.
berg lived was burned to the
ground.

Their Summer at
the Sea Shore
BY Grace Simcoke.

0y 0TdCc otVCONSs
Sunshine everywhere, blue skies
and floating clouds, who couldn't be
happy on a day like this?
All were happy, but one girl who
was sitting in large comfortable
chair under a large tree not far
from her fathers house. She was
an invalid and every little bit she
would look up from her book and
glance down to the lake below
where her father, mother and sister
Frances were swimming. Frances
was a healthy girl who could boast
of sixteen summers.
When but baby, Gwendolyn,
who is the invalid l spoke of be-
fore, was dropped by her nurse and
her spine was injured. She suf-
fered for fourteen years, the doc
tors thinking that nothing could be
done to help her.
One day her father, Mr. Sher-
wood, went to New York and
brought back a specialist with him.
The Sherwoods lived in a little
town close to New York and as Mr.
/ Sherwood's business was there he
heard the men in the Office talking
about this wonderful specialist and
so brought him out one evening.
He examined Gwendolyn and said
that she was not strong enough to
undergo an operation and advised
he whole family to take her to the
sea shore for the summer. He
thought by fall she would be strong
enough to have the operation. So
they all packed up and went to the
sea shore.
AS said before they were all in
swimming that day except Gwendo-
Ign and her nurse who was fixing
lunch for them. After Gwendolyn
had finished her lunch, the nurse
brought out Gwendolyn's knitting.
She knitted until the rest of the
people returned in the evening.
1t was too cool for the family to
sit out of doors that evening so af-
ter supper the family gathered
around the fire place. The father
read the evening papers while the
rest of the family did their knitting.
Mr.. Sherwood said, Let us in
vite come of our friends down the
day after tomorrow for a regular
picnic on the island" They all
agreed. Gwendolyn was soon busy
writing the invitations while Fran
ces hunted old clothes for them to
wear.
The next day the people arrived
in big truck about ten o'clock.
They told the driver to come after
them that evening Mr.. Sherwood
took as many Of them as possible
in his yacht on his first trip to the
island, he kept ferrying until all of
them were on it. They all had a
fine time and on the way home they
sang, AT the End Of Perfect
Day"
The Sherwoods had many good
times at the sea shore, and when
they returned to New York that
fall Gwendolyn had rosy cheeks
and had gained many pounds. She
underwent the operation and it was
a success. A few weeks after she
was as well as any girl. They de-
cided that they would stay in New
York for the rest of the winter.
Mex week l will tell about their
winter in New York.

Sammy Stay-at.H Home
Comes to Richmond

WANTED-All the jokes l can
find to put in my old kit bag,
since at present 1t is so full
OF troubles it makes me have the
crouch every time ! open 1t.
SAMMY STAY-AT-HOME.
This unusual notice was brought
into the Junior Office late last
week by such a queer looking fell
low that the editor at once asked
him If he lived in Richmond. He
answered that he had just arrived,
but expected to remain in the city
for some time unless his troubles
grew too great.
DO you have so many troubles
as all that?" asked the editor, for
in spite of the rather worried look
on the queer fellows face, he
seemed to have very merry twin
kle in his eyes.
"TrouDles!" he exclaimed. Then
dumping his bag down on the floor
with a thud, he began fumbling
with the straps and buckles of the
kit as he continued, Il wish you'd
just look in here"
An opening the old worn kit,
Sammy Stay-at-Home revealed such
a volume of packed and mashed
scarps of paper that l had to ask
him what it all meant.
why, those are all my troubles"
he explained. You see, l have so
may, and they keep piling up so
fast in all my travels, that l was
afraid | might forget some of them,
and so have carefully made a note
of each enc and packed it away in
my old kit so that at times grew
dull l can review some of my old
ones. Good idea, l think, don't
you?
But ! thought all the Sammies
wanted to pack all their troubles
away so that they'd forget them"
answered in great surprise.
Forget them!' cried Sammy
Stay-at-Home. well, l should say
not. To think of having any perfect.
ly good troubles, and then forget
ting them!"
| And he looked at me with such
scorn that l found myself murmur-
ing, Il Deg your pardon"
"Oh tha's all right" he said
quite cheerfully once more. Lots
OF people who don't know what a
comfort troubles are, feel that way
about it. l wish they could me
educated, poor ignorant souls"
And that gave me an idea.
| Suppose you start educating us
poor Richmond folks" l suggested.
Anyone with such a rare collec.
ton of troubles surely ought to feel
quite selfish keeping them all to
himself. Won't you consider shar-
ing up with us here in the Junior?''
Sergeant Stay-at-Home (for he
had the emblems on his unusual
uniformly was quite thoughtful for
several moments. Then looking up
with earnest patriotism on his face
he said, ::Well, just to do my bit
for Richmond citizens, l will. But
we better get the boys and girls
to send in some jokes, too, so they
will tighten things up little bit, OF
the papers would weigh so heavy
that the carrier boys would have tc
get trucks to haul papers around
Saturday nights"
| And SO it all was settled. The
first edition Of Sammy Stay-at
Homes troubles will appear in next
Saturdays Junior, providing the
boys and girls send in plenty oil
jokes to balance the great weight
OF poor Sammy's heavy troubles.
