SILVER FOX PATROL
LEADS IN TROOP s

There was not any doubt about
which patrol of Troop had the
most points in the meeting Mon.
day evening for the Silver Foxes
reported that they hiked 81 miles
last week thus meriting the same
number of points. Probably this
report made the members of the
other two patrols gasp because
they thought they had been hiking
quite a bit and they had only gone
a total of 40 miles.
The standing for the patrols
Monday evening follows:
Silver Foxes led by Jimmy Ross,
1877 points; Wood Pigeons, led by
Ed Null, 166 points; Black Bears,
led by Ernest Russell, 10 points.
The Black Bears are to be espe-
cially congratulated on making
such a gain in their standing dur
ing the past week. If they gain as
much in the next week in proper
ton as their last weeks gains, the
Foxes and Pigeons will have to
go some"
An all-day hike was planned by
the troop for Saturday, Feb. 10. as
this goes to press providing the
weather was favorable.
Plans are being made by the
scouts for a Parents night on Feb.
%. We will hear more about that
next week.

HANS AND GRETCHEN

Hans and Gretchen lived in Hol,
land. One time, while Hans and
Gretchen were in the house, they
heard a knock on the door. Hans
went to the door and saw a fine
lady. 1t was the queen of Holland.
With her was her little daughter,
Juliana.
She asked if she might come in
and rest.
Hans said, yes"
She said she was tired and would
like to have a glass of milk.
While Gretchen was getting the
milk the queen saw a little doll.
The queen asked Hans if he made
it.
Hans said, YES"
The Princess Juliana asked Hans
to make her one like 1t. Hans
said he would. Just then Gretchen
came into the room with the milk.
They liked the milk very much.
The queen and her daughter then
went to the carriage and drove
away. A few days later the
Princess Juliana asked her mother
if they might go and get the doll.
When they got to Hans house they
knocked on the door. Hans came
to the door. The queen went in
and sat down. The Princess JUL
ana asked Hans for the doll. Hans
gave it to her. She was very much
pleased.-Elizabeth Riggs, age 9,
5B grade, Starr school.

JUST WAIT AND SEE

If your story isn't in, this week,
do not think it strayed into the
scrap basket or in a back corner
of the editors desk, or started out
on western trip all by itself as
Billy Whiskers, Jr. is doing-but
just keep your eyes open. If your
name is not in the Honorable Men
ton corner, your story will yet az
pear. 1t is waiting patiently in line.
Can you junior authors wait the
same way? The Junior Pal feels
just like the boy who is offered
two big dishes of ice cream-he
wants to take it all at once, but he
has not room enough.

THANK YOU!

The Junior editor wishes to say
Thank you very much" to the Jun.
ior readers who sent certain little
missives lido you know what this
means?) made of bright colored pa
per and paper lace with little verses
in them to her last Monday. Since
she did not know just when she
might see you, she thought she
would take this means of thanking
you. Alas, she is still guessing as
to the junior sender of one Of them.
Any suggestions or hints as to who
that person may be, will be well
coined by your editor.

cial secretary, by the members of

JEWELWEED

The jewelweeds are jolly plants,
Almost as good as toys!
! think they're made for little girls,
But brother says for boys.
! scamper down beside the brook
Before the bright dew clears,
TO pick the curving orange flowers
For earrings for my ears.
But brother leases, Leave me
some
Until they go to seed.
Nine earrings are enough for girls;
You've lots more than you need"
And when the funny seeds are ripe
He picks them here and there,
And all those little pods 60 pop
Like pistols in the air!

HOW WE MOVED
TO RICHMOND

We came to Richmond in a ma
chine, and hauled the goods in a
truck.
We had a large, Old-fashioned
piano, which was very heavy. The
men had to take the legs off and
roll it through the doors, but they
could not roll it down the steps
and up in the truck, so they had to
lift it in.
When the men got the truck
loaded we were wondering how we
would bring our dog. We thought
we would put him in the cab of the
truck, but there wasn't enough
room, so we brought him in the
machine with us.
There was snow on the ground
the day we moved and the truck
didn't have any chains. We let
the truck get start to about Will
iamsburg and then We started. On
this side of Webster we saw the
top of the truck standing still.
When we got there we saw the
wheels going round but the truck
was standing still.
One of the men ran out and got
some ashes and ropes. He put the
ashes under the wheels and tied
the rope around them. Then we
started the motor and got here all
right.-Charles Rhodehamel, 9Th
grade, Joseph Moore school.

CHILDREN TO HEAR
,WASH|NGTON'SL|FE

The story room at the library
was filled "heaping full" of chill
dren and juniors last Saturday aft
ernoon. SO was the tower room,
also on the first floor of the libra
ry where the exhibit was held.
Many interesting things were in
the exhibit showing how people
dressed, what the houses and
school buildings looked like and
what kind of swords and guns sol
diers fought with when Lincoln
was alive.
The stories about Lincoln which
were told by Mrs. Girty were much
enjoyed by those children who were
able to get into the story room.
The subject for this weeks stories
on Saturday afternoon, Feb. 10
from 2::30 to $3.50 o'clock Is
Washington. Twelve pupils from
each grade school building accord
ing to Miss Payne, grade school su-
peryisor will be allowed to go.
This arrangement is necessary be
cause of the great number of chill
dren in the grade schoOls-many
hundred Of them and alas-the
story room can only hold 100 OF
them at time.
Miss Leota Stott from Warner
viii assist Mrs. Girty on Feb. 10.
Several other Richmond people
who like stories very much and
like to tell them and who are in
terested with Mrs. Girty in the
story hour idea will have the story
hour from. time to time and arrange
exhibits in connection with the sub
ject of the stories.
Isn't it fun to know that many
hours of stories may be looked for
ward to by Richmond juniors?

FIRST GRADE LEARNS
HOW TO MEASURE

The first grade is learning to
measure with 12-inch rulers. They
make paper dolls. And measure
crepe tissue-paper for dresses. They
have a store in the room. They sell
four inches of crepe paper for
dresses and six-inch strips for
belts.
They also designed folders from
nine-inch squares for the dolls. The
nine-inch squares were divided in
to nine three-inch squares. They
made design in each square. They
also are learning to measure by
making paper weaving mats, tag
board rulers, and book covers. l
think it Is a good way for the first
grade TO learn to measure.-Roma
J. Mabey, 6B grade, Joseph Moore
school.

NOBODY VOTED FOR HARDING

Although Warren G. Harding has
been elected president by tremen-
dous majority, he did not get a sin
gle vote. Neither did Mr.. Coolidge.
All votes cast were for members
Of the electoral college who
met on Jan. 10 and went through
the ceremony of casting their votes
for president. OF course everybody
knows how they will vote.
Should there be a constitutional
amendment making it possible for
people to vote directly for their
president?
This is a good question for d
bate.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1921-02-19

Close beside the coach rode. Col,
Onel Washington with an escort OF
cavaliers.
On the porch of the house stood
Bishop, the tall negro, Washing
tons body servant and whom
Washington liked very much prob
ably with broad grin on his face
for he was dressed in a bright new
uniform-the scarlet uniform of a
soldier of the royal army in the
time Of George II.
Within, were the guests-many
in bright colOred suits and dresses
The governor was there and the
members of the Virginia legisla-
ture and the neighboring gentry,
all in full court dress. British Of
ficers in their brilliant uniforms
added color and grace to the scene
of happy gayety.
Such was the wedding of George
Washington and Martha Custis who
were later to give so much of their
energy and time and deep, deep
thought to the infant growth of our
loved country.

George Washington as Bridegroom;
A Brilliant Virginia Wedding

Once upon a time in January,
1859, a very brilliant happening
took place in St. Peters church in
New Kent county, Virginia-and
that happening was wedding-a
very gay wedding indeed. The
wealthy Virginia land owners were
very glad to see a gay wedding
again, for they had been used to
court life in England, and the plain
clothes they wore in their new and
comfortable but rather simple
homes in this new country prob.
ably did not always please them.
So it happened that the wedding
of the beautiful and wealthy wild
ow, Martha Gusts to the young
Colonel Washington was looked
forward to very much by these
cavalier settlers in early Virginia.
The lovely bride, true southern
gentlewoman wore very heavy
white silk dress made with the full
very full skirt which made the
costumes of those days look so
like beautiful pictures and her
jewels were diamonds and pearls.
The bridegroom who was to
prove himself worthy of being the
Father of this new rich country,
George Washington, was dressed
in a suit of bright blue cloth. The
coat of his suit was lined with |
bright red silk and was ornamented |
with silver trimmings. His waist
coat was white satin embroidered
and he wore gold kneebuckles. His
hair? Powdered Of course, as was
every ones then-young or old.
Then came the Cinderella coach,
for after the ceremony in the
the bride and her attend
ants drove back to the white house
in a coach drawn by six horses, in
front of which rode several men
dressed up In bright colored uni
forms or livery. !
