RICHARD AND jane
FOOL train ROBBERS

Richard and Jane lived in the
country. The school they went to
was about a mile from their home.
One evening school held later
than usual. 1t was beginning TO
get dark.
When they came to the covered
bridge they had to cross, they saw
two men 90 under the bridge.
Richard and Jane crept softly into
the bridge and listened. The men
were talking just loud enough for
Richard and Jane to hear them
One man was saying, THE train
comes along here about $50. Wen
have plenty of time"
We'll, that's all the better 1t
will give US time to get a long
ways" said the other man.
Richart and Jane saw the men
go to the railroad bridge and put
bomb under it.
"Oh, Richard, They are going to
blow up the train" said Jane. 81
know it," said Richard, and |
know that we can keep them from
doing 1t, too" How" asked Jane
Il don't know yet" said Richard
but we've got to think of some
way"
"Oh' know" cried Jane
How" asked Richard. I'VE can
take my red scarf and flag the
train" ooh yes, we could do that"
said Richard.
So they walked a good piece
from the bridge and waited. Pretty
soon they saw the train coming.
They began to wave the scarf. He
asked them what was the matter.
They told him. He was greatly
mc"ed. He went back to the train
and told the people about it.
They were so thankful their
lives had been saved that they took
up a collection When the money
was counted there was five hun
dred dollars. By this time Richard
and James father had become wor-
rled and had started to look for
them. He saw that the train had
stopped so he went over to see
what was the matter. When he
found out what had happened. he
was very grateful to the people for
giving them so much money.
He took the children home and
their mother was very glad to see
them.
A few days later they saw in the
paper where the two men were
caught that had tried to blow ND
the train. They were put in Jail
for ten years.-Thelma Macy, age

Tips for Pitchers

Ibpo III v ilSliC'o
To deceive the players of the
other team is part Of the art OF
pitching. One way is to throw the
various kinds of ball, such as the
curve ball and the fast ball, with
the same kind of an arm swing.
The curve ball is made with but u
simple twist of the wrist, and this
twist can be made so rapidly it can
easily be concealed from the eyes
of spectators.
Control Of the ball is what good
pitching is based upon. Practice
brings control
Don't Become Stale"
In practice, choose some spot on
the catcher's uniform, his belt, the
letters On his shirt-and aim at
that. Practice till you are able to
throw exactly for that spot every
time
The pitcher who plays the game
only once or twice a week should
be sure to get in plenty of practice
during the other days, or he will
become stale"
There is no training for pitchers
that beats actual pitching
Should the crowd try to rattle
you in game, don't listen to them.
If you do, it means trouble. Keep
your mind on your work.
Take Plenty of Time.
Take your time. Don't rush
through a game. Especially when
you are in pinch go slow and use
good judgment. But always DO
ready to take care OF the UNI
expected.
If the catcher signals for a ball
that the pitcher believes should not
be thrown, he shouldn't 90 ahead
and pitch what he wants to without
first warning the catcher.
"Bullheadedness' 'On the part OF
some pitchers has caused many .

SEvENTY-FlVE CLUB
MEMBERS Received
PICS-RIVALRY KEEN

Il like the looks OF that pig," a
certain little girl in the Wayne
County Pig club probably said to
herself last Saturday afternoon in
Centerville as the pigs were being
viewed by the future pig growers,
all of whom are juniors. This par
ticular girl did not get the pig she
had admired, however, when her
time came to draw.
I'll make this one the best any
way" the girl said as she received
the pig she had drawn by lot.
Over sixty Of the seventy-five
members OF the Wayne County Pig
Club were present for the allott-
ment and showed great pride and
interest in their newly acquired
possessions. One boy tumbled his
pig into gunny sack and escorted
it home that way. We are not GER
tain whether it cried wee, wee,
wee all the way home" as the pig
we used to hear about in our sand
pile days did or not. Most Of the
children brought crates to put their
pigs in.
One girl just happened to draw
a pig raised by her father. 1t was
probably surprised to find it was
going home to the same place it
had always lived, after expecting to
60 on journey.
The pig belonging to Leonard
Duke, Of Boston township, ran away
from it's new home after it had
been there a day or two. 1t was
found later, however, and is safely
penned up now.
Records To Be Kept.
Mr.. J. l.. DOlan, who is Agricul-
tural agent Of Wayne County and
leader of the Junior Pig Clubs, has
been receiving letters from club
members asking for directions
about proper feeding. A few juniors
took sacks Of feed at the same time
they received their pigs.
Letters telling how to feed the
pigs and cards for keeping account
Of the weight Of the pig from time
to time and the amount and kind
Of feed given it, were sent to the
club members this week by Mr..
Dolan.
Nothing is complete without
story Of course, so space is left in
the record books, plenty Of it, that
junior pig owners may write the
story, telling all the details about
how they take care of the pig and
how well behaved a pig it proves to
be. Perhaps they will name their
stories THE Fortunes Of Reddy"
or What Happened to Biackie"
and then some Of them. the best
stories will probably appear in the
Junior Palladium sometime.
Ed. NOte-When any juniors who
are members Of these clubs feel
like writing a letter to the Junior
about the joys and troubles of rails
ing a pig. please do so, as we will
be very glad to receive them.

Fruits are chiefly valuable for thelr
