SCHOOL PiCNICS

The last rooms to march from the
school grounds of the city school, pic
mic bund, were the first grade, taught
by Mrs. Dowell and Miss Leona Byrne
Wednesday, May IL was, the day
and "1'he Bluffs, east of town, the
place selected. Between seventy-five
and eighty small children, their teach
ers, a number of mothers and visitors
enjoyed the occasion
The bluffs is an ideal spot for a
picnic, as nature has provided water
falls, the swimming pools, the slides
the teeters, fresh cold water to drink
beautiful trees for shade and an
abundance of wild flowers.
The children were delighted with the
scene and when turned loose went in
every direction, some to one attrac.
ton and some to another Wild flow.
ers were gathered until the teachers
hands could hold no more; box.lid
boats were sailed on the pools, peb.
bles were tossed into the water to
watch the waves ripple, and both
boys and girls were seen sliding
down the banks and rocks, regard
less of the high cost of clothing.
When the noon-hour came it was
no trouble to get the children to-
gether for the much-talked of picnic
lunch. Each child had brought a
box of good things and how we all
did enjoy it. We ate and ate but
could not eat all we had brought.
This was a day of rest and social
pl asure for mothers and teachers,
and a day of happiness for the child
ren. l hope more mothers will be
with us next year.

HOW THE RED CROSS DOES IT

Oh, there was little soldier and hi
went to fight the Hun,
But he lost his leg in battle just before
the war was done.
So they sent him home a heto will
his medal round his neck,
But he came in such hurry that HI
didn't get his check.
Then his sweetheart didn't Iowa hlr'
cause he didn't have lsg,
And he couldn't make a living. st
he thought he'd have tc beg.
And the money that was due him
kept a-weighing on his chest.
So he went up to the Red Cross and
the Red Cross did the rest.
They collected all the money and
they did it with a smile.
He went to school; he got a job; II
took a little while,
And last but not the least of al
things they did for him
Was presenting him at parting with
a good cork lower limt
So Sunday night he donned that leg
and gave his hair a curl,
Put his bonus check in candy and
went to get that Girl!
He got her, too, so am told, and now
he has boss,
What more could he have wished for
from the American Red Cross.
