Once there was a man who sailed
across the Atlantic, but people said
he could not do such a crazy thing.
He went to the king and asked for
mon and ships, but the king said
he would not. Columbus said If
they gave the ship, it would be the
richest country, but the king would
not. II he would, Columbus would
have sailed across. He went to
king OF Spain and Queen Isabel for
ships and men. He stayed in Spain
seven years to see if they would do
so. He said he was going to
France to see il they would give
him ships and men. On his way he
went passed a schoolroom. His lit
tie boy, Dieago was hungry. He
said, will you give my little son
some bread? The king and queen
of Spain would not" The school
master said if he would write her
beautiful letter she would listen
to him. In five days, three ships
landed at Pinta Ninta. Santa Ma
rie was the name of the ship Col
umbus got in, and they sailed. The
men said, Lets throw his over
board!"
Columbus heard the king try his
men, and it made him very angry.
He sailed many days and many
months.

An Easter clark"

Last Sunday some boys and /
hiked out to Morton Lake. On the
way we found shovel. When we
got there we built fire and cooked
dinner. Then we were going to the
river. stepped in hole. One of
boys said, Let's build a furnace"
We went to work and dug the hole
bigger. We tlattened the bottom.
By that time it was time to come
home. We are going to fry eggs
in the furnace ON Easter.

EARLY AT SCHOOL.

Through pathways green and very
cool,
Miss Daisy trips along to school.
She is in haste, for she would hate
TO stop and play and be marked
late.
All children should learn we'll this
rule,
And never be late at their school.

Start Swatting Them No.v

A few weeks ago we learned that
we would be happier and healthier
than ever if we washed our faces
and hands, oh, several times a day
even, and just keep clean as we
could all the time.
Now we have been learning that
If we washed our cities or at least
kept them real clean, we and all
our neighbors and friends would
be happier too.
Well" you say, at sounds all
right, and we have street cleaners
and sprinkler wagons and trash col
lectors and some laws written up
in big law books somewhere, to
see that Richmond is cleaned and
kept clean"
But go into any street and look
around you. What do you see?
Scraps of paper scattered around
Almost every direction you turn,
you can see them. Look on any
dump or place where wasted food
is uncovered, and you will see, es-
pecially later in the summer, flies
all over it, which wouldn't be so
bad If those same flies would keep
on staying in the same place. But
they don't. From the open trash
barrel or garbage can, they fly to
your front porch and even into
your house, though you do not ask
them in, and they alight on your
nose or on the pie you have just
made for dinner, or anywhere that
looks good to them, and they never
think of wiping off their feet, like
you do sometimes before you so
into a house. That's the worst
part about a fly. His feet are COW
cred with filth and even with
germs, and he never seems to mind
it.
We do not want Richmond to be
anything but as clean a little town
as it can be, and we can help it
to be that way. Oh, of course
we do not happen to be grown-,lp,
but we are little citizens of Rich
mond, just the same and are eager
to help Richmond to be a fine lit
tie town, and to always look its
best, don't we?
Now what can we do? Well. we
can keep ouselves from throwing
scraps of paper in the streets. II
every Junior does that the streets
OF Richmond will be very much
cleaner.
Then we can go on the war path,
determined to get rid of the fly,
since we can probably never teach
him to wipe off his feet before
he comes into our houses. Mr. Fly
is not at all clean in his habits and
he carries disease, so we do not
want him around. The sooner we
begin to get rid of him the fewer
flies we will have to kill before
the summer is over.
Every Junior should see right
away that he is armed with a
fly swatter. Then every time he
sees a fly, instead of saying, Il
will kill you sometime" say Il am
going to kill you right now" and
see that you do.

SAVING FOOD
Now that the war is over, we
must save food for the hungry mil
lions of Europe because they are
starving to death.
The whole world is like COM

another as much as he wants, there
will be some one that will get less,
or do without.

Dear Juniors:
Did you ever have sweet baby

PLANT FOOD FIRST
Federal Official Says Present Situation
 Most Dangerous South Ever Faced.

Little Rock, Feb. 12-"Food plus cotton equals prosperity This is the keynote of bulletin just issued by Bradford Knapp, chief of the States. Relations Service of the United States Department of Agri- culture, copy of which has just been received by the Arkansas Prof. table Farming Bureau.
 The bulletin declares that the pres ent situation is tine most dangerous that the cotton states have faced ill many years, partly because of four short crops of cotton with resulting high prices and partly because the farmers have raised and produced so much of their own food and feed.
 The bulletin calls attention to the fact that for the last four years tine Texas cotton crop has been about g million and quarter bales below the average because of drouths. Both states have had good rains this win ter and have excellent prospects for big cotton crops this season.
 "A big crop in Texas and Okla homa always has meant a big crop in the whole country, says the bull letin Think that over before you de- eide to increase your cotton acre age.
 Small Demand From Europe.
 Will the mills of northern France and Belgium be restored to full work ing capacity at once? Certainly not! Will the poor people of Europe seek food or cotton first? Food, of course. People can and will wear patched clothing and sleep without pillow cases and sheets if need bxx but the hungry stomach must be fed. lThinE about that"
 The bulletin calls attention to the fact that while the price of cotton has increased prices of other commo, dities have increased along with it and that pound of cotton at 30 cents in 1918 bought about the same quantity of other products that it did at 12 cents in 1912.
 With less acres than last year and a good season we can easily make a very large crop, especially with good production in Texas and Oklahoma says the bulletin. "In 1912 with only 34,2O3, 900 acres we made 1S,703,00O bales of cotton. With a good season ahead of us would you increase the acreage?
 Tt is absolute folly to upset the present prosperity of the cotton states by planting a large acreage which can only mean a large crop and lower price. her rumors of farm CTS selling their live stock to put their land alla in cotton. Such action is inviting disastet. If farmers, land lords, merchants and bankers combine to pull the house down upon their own heads by producing large crop of cotton they should have the courage to make no appeal to the rest of the world for help if their own action leads them into distress
