We Stand Behind our
Quality to the Limit

1t is an understood fact that anything
you purchase in this day is worth exactly
what you pay for it and no more. In the
drug business it's just as easy to cut on
quality as it is to cut on price. We ask
the people of this vicinity to come to us
for highest possible quality of goods for(
which an honest and fair price is charged. '
We ask you to trade where more is given
for your money than usual, where your
patronage is appreciated, where we treat
you as a friend and cater to your entire
satisfaction. Whether you trade in per-
son, by mail or phone, there is the same
satisfactory service and the further
pleasure of knowing that you are only
paying a fair price for quality guaran-
teed.

Hike Column

Doesn't this kind of day just
make you want to go out in the
country or in the woods for long
walk? What is more fun?
The Junior is going to have a
special hiking column during all this
lovely spring weather, and during
the summer too. And what is sup
posed to be in this column? Well,
just everything that any Junior
does, sees or hears when he is on
a hike. Whether he goes with a
"Y" class or with scouts or with his
chum or his dog or just himself, we
want to hear about it. We want to
hear, too, when he goes and if he
builds a fire and has camp sup
per, or if he just plays games, and
what place he comes to or goes
through, what birds he sees and
what new flowers he or she (for
this means girls, too) finds and ev-
erything about the hike.
So the most of this space, Juniors
and let us see who goes the most
places and who walks the farthest,
and who sees the most things.
If you will figure out the distance
you walk and tell it in the story
of your hike, we will compare them
and publish each week the names
of the ten Juniors who have walked
the farthest in all their hikes up
to that date.

Next afternoon, Mary Jane and
her little company made their
twelve dollars. And for two weeks
they kept it up charging everybody
twelve dollars.

SCOUTS TO HIKE.

On account of bad weather the
boys of the "Y" gym classes have
not taken any walks lately, mostly
on account of bad weather, but not
last Saturday, for it seems to us
that there was somethoing else 60
ing on in the Junior world last Sat-
urday that made everyone want to
be in Richmond. Guess what?
But next Saturday afternoon, two
Of the many new Boy Scout teams
that are being formed, will go on a

First Presbyterian church under
Ray Williams and the troop of st.
Paurs Lutheran church under
Stephen Rohlfing, as Scout Mas
tiers. They will probably go to
Reid Springs where they will play
baseball.

A Breezy Story

Because great winds seemed 10
come in March more than any 9th
er time, it was called the windy
month. Wind? What is It? A
current of air that starts some
place and blows over us, and some
times almost through us, and pass
es on to another place. Scientists
would tell us there is whole lot
more than we could say about it
than this, but this is enough for
US just now. And oh, there are so
many, many ways the wind goes,
It's as full as whims as a mischiev-
Gus fairy.
Sometimes it goes real slow, and
sometimes it goes rushingly, howl
ing, and making all the noise it
can. Not noise exactly, because it
is usually very musical no matter
how much of hurry it's in. 1t
sings low, sweet tunes when it
goes slowly by and plays great big
pieces when it goes whiZzing past
in it's busy times, as if thousand
instruments We're playing.
But isn't it fun, his wind? We
like it even when it slides the cap
off our heads and plays ball with
it, and then drops it down some
where square away. Winds love
to play and when we don't send
them anything to play with, they
swoop down and find something to
play with. Probably that's the only
reason it takes our handkerchiefs
and our hats and swings them up
into the air, around and around.
It's just aching for good romp.
Somebody else thought the wind
was lots of fun and wrote this
verse to express what he thought
about it:
"a jolly young fellow is young
March wind,
With all his buster and noise;
Though he has no thought for the
old and poor,
He's a thorough friend of the
boys.
He joins their play with right good
will
Aha, do you see him go,
With a hi, hi, hi! far up in the sky
While the boys stand tugging
below?
Oh, noisy fellow is young March
wind,
And almost any day,
You may Sc him up in the highest
trees,
Blowing his trumpet for play.
Ohio! Ohio! now high, now low,
He blows with all his might;
Oh, dear Mr.. Wind, would you be
so kind,
As to go to sleep at night?"

A NAUGHTY BOY.

Once upon time there was a
little boy and he wanted to go hunt

But the boy went and as he was
going around a tree, two big white
things snatched him right up and
they never saw him again.

Dear Aunt Polly:

Dear Aunt Polly:
Have you seen any robins this
spring? There were three in our
yard this morning. We have a
nest of some bird in our grape vine.
Your friend,
Louise Overman.
Dear Louise:
l should say I have; And aren't
they fat and saucy and don't they
have the reddest breasts? One was
right by my window this very
morning and it stood there about
a foot from the window and
chirped away and nodded his black
head and winked his little black
eyes in the most serious and friend
ly way. There have been some in
our apple tree too, and hope they
decide to make a home there.
Are you putting out crumbs for
them and hanging up piece of
! suet on a tree? That's ice cream
to them.
Watch the birds in your grape
vine and when you find out more
about them, come and tell me
what kind of a bird it is. If you
can't find out, see all you can about
+, them, their colors and what they
| do, and let's see if we can't find
out what kind it is, together.
There are so many birds around
! Richmond even this early in the
spring and more will be coming
very day.
Aunt Polly.
| Dear. Aunt Polly:
When are you in the Office?
M. nj.
Dear M. NJ:
| l am usually in the office every
| afternoon after school except Fri
day. Come up and see me.
Aunt Polly
Dear Aunt Polly:
Am l good looking? l am light
complexioned. / have curly hair.
| wear glasses.
| Lula M. H.
Dear Lula M. H.
| The second sentence in your de-
scription captures me right away.
For / am go fond of curly hair.
From what you say, and my being
such an admirer of curly hair, l
would almost say you are good
looking. But it's rather hard to tell
by long distance. The glasses
sound distinguished looking. Peo-
pie usually look so important with
| glasses.
But it makes SO much difference
what kind of disposition you have.
A sour dispositioned person new
er is good looking, no matter how
pretty their features may be. But
a sweet disposition and smiling
face helyps very great deal to-
ward making any one pretty even
if their hair is straight as an iron
rod. But you very probably have
a good disposition. Isn't that so?
So then you are probably good
looking.
Come up and let me see if l have
told the truth.
Aunt Polly.

THE END.
At the end of the show there
was great applause. There were
more adults than children. All the
children We're praised. After all
the people had gone, Mary Jane
counted the money. At last she had
the big pile counted.
six dollars" exclaimed the
amazed Mary Jane.
why, l didn't think we could
get that much.
That will be just fifty cents for
each one of us. But you must
promise me to buy at least one
thrift stamp out of it. Will you?
Eyes, yes" the cried.
Just then Sadie came out, assist
ed by maid, carrying a tray.
"Hurrah for Mrs. Carew," shout
ed the hungry children.
Sadie served more things than
you could imagine. Indeed it was
like dinner, for a table had been
set and spread in the garden.
Among the things were: Chicken,
potatoes, two kinds of salad, dress
ing, pies, cake, ice cream and jello.
And 1t was none too much for them,
for they well deserved it. After
they were through eating Mary
Jane suggested going to the gro
Gerry store to buy their thrift
stamps.
The grocery-man too, had been to
the show while the hired boy kept
the store. AS the children were
coming in the door he chuckled to
himself.
II bet those kids are going to
buy candy with the money"
But when he heard what they did
want he told himself that he was
mistaken.
$50 you want to buy thrift
stamps, do your" he asked. Well
to tell the truth, | expected you
kids to buy candy with the money
And you really made six dollars
| must confess that's going some
And now instead of buying candy
you are going to buy thrift stamps
Since you are such good little
helpers for Uncle Sam | am going
to reward you by giving you two
thrift stamps for a quarter, and I'm
quite sure Uncle Sam will not care
if you spend the other quarter on
yourselves. Hand me your quar-.
tiers and l will give you your two
thrift stamps"
The children obeyed and thanked
the kind grocery-man. AS they
opened the door to leave tall
young man opened it and said:
Hold on here, don't leave sc
soon, as | have important business
with you young people"
They all stepped back into the
store amazed, while the young man
spoke:

burt"
Mary Jane stepped up and hall
scared said:
Il am her"
Il am reporter for paper in this
city and | would like for you to tel
me all that happened at your show
