THE SQUIRREL FAMILY
(By Amy Larson, Fifth Grade)

The squirrel family lived in the
green forest in a hollow tree. There
was Mother, Father, Chip, Dolly and
Snip.
eSnip was a shy mischievous little
fellow and was always getting into
trouble when he disobeyed his ia
Their or mother.
Mrs. Black had gone to market to
get some carrots, turnips and other
provisions for the family.
Mr.. Black was out in the field
blowing the ground and did not
know thai Mrs. Black had gone TO
market.
While they were gone, Snip said,
Lets go out and get some nuts.
Mother will never know but what
we stayed in the house all the while
she was gone"
Mother told us no to go out OF
the house while she was gone, and !
am not going to go. You can if you
want, l will stay at home" said
Chip.
Snip went into the forest and was
eating peacefully on nuts, when he
heard a deep growl which frightened
him very much. 1t frightened him
so much that he turned and ran
home without looking to see what
it was.
A little later their mother came
home and asked them if they all
stayed at home while she was gone.
Dolly and Chip said yes, but Snip
hung his head and did not say "A
word.
His mother knew what had hap
pened and she said, "It was me out
in the forest and hid behind a tree
and frightened you"
II will never disobey you again,
said Snip.
And he never ~disobeyed his faith
er or mother again.

PETER RABBITS EASTER
)By Elsie schiffgen, Fifth Grade)

)By Elsie schiffgen, Fifth Grade)
There once lived under a big oak
tree a family of rabbits. There was
Mother Cottontail and there were
four children. Flopsy. Mopsy, Cot
tontail and Peter.
Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail
were good little Dummies, but Peter
was a naughty boy and would not
mind his mother.
One day Mother Cottontail took
her basket on her arm and told
them all to be good.
Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail
said, 1--WE will mind you mother,
but Peter did not listen, he went 'on
skipping.
When they were in the house
playing, Flopsy. Mopsy and Cotton
tail wanted some flowers, so they
said, peter, come down to the
creek with us to get some violets.'
So Peter went with them and
when they were picking some flow
ers, Cottontail said, 81 see prettier
ones on the other side;" but she
said, II will get my feet wet if 1
cross the ditch" So she said, Pc
ter. will, you carry across the
ditch?" And he said. yes" So
when he got over he got angry and
ran away. When Flopsy, Mopsy
and Cottontail called him back, he
said, 81 will not"
After he had gone a little while
he went in Mr.. Green's yard where
there were lots of things that he
liked to eat.
Soon he heard a noise and he
looked up and saw some black
birds, so he said, do you think
you're the boss of the yard?" And
the black birds said, Cav, cawi"
When Peter heard them he ran and
ran until he came to a log and was
going to rest when he looked and
saw a dog; so he got up and ran
and ran until he came to town and
then he saw a hole in the store. So
he jumped in and stayed until some
one came and got him and the man
that got him said, "Have you any
brothers and sisters?" and Peter
said, YES" So Mr.. Brown asked
what their names were and Peter
said, "Flopsy, Mopsy. Cottontail and
Mother"
So Mr.. Brown said he would get
him something for them, so when
he came back he gave Peter A
watch. When Peter got it, he said,
Listen to it go tick-tack." Soon
Mr.. Brown came in with some
things and Mr.. Brown said, Here
some things for you to take
home with you. There was a chick

High School
Notes

DIR. w. r. Jones, now at Phoenix,
Arizona, was a great factor in first
introducing football into u school.
Through his excellent coaching, the
team made quite a record for them
selves the first year. They kept on
improving this year, which was but
the second. Mr.. Jones is still inter-
ested in the football team and in
expressing himself says that he
would like to be in Oakley for the
football season next fall. We hope
his desires will begranted. The fol-
lowing excerpt is from a letter re-
ceived from him by Leland Clark:
was certainly pleased to see
what the Oakley boys did in the
basket ball this season. When a
little town like Oakley can walk
away with a trophy like that a. GER
tainiy shows that there is something
in the spirit and young manhood OF
the whole community to be proud
of, and it casts a good reflection up
on the whole community to be able
to produce such yiung men. While
athletic sports seem to be a side is
sue in every day life, and more or
less impractical to those who have
become so Injured to their business
or other matters that they think lit
tie of anything else, amatuer athlet-
les represent the true spirit of Anne
RIGA, their value being more and
more realized by those who had
given them little thought each year.
Athletics as practised by Americans
is the mean now being used by the
workers of the United States in an
attempt to civilize in the Philli-
pines, Japan, China, India and
wherever there is a race of people
that seem refractory in accepting
what is considered modern stand
ards of civilization and Christianity;
in fact, at the present time Ameri-
can athletics are being introduced
into Germany and it is interesting
to know that there was no term or
phrase n their tongue which cores
ponds to our term Fair Play"
There is no nation that can play
like Americans play, observing the
spirit OF good sportmanship as we
do, and the pounding in of the idea
of Fair Play and good sportsman
ship upon the athletic field seems to
be the best way to prepare the UNI
civilized mind to receive high ideals
of living. Had the Germans been
withthis spirit prior to the
war, there would have been no ruth
less submarine warfare, no gas, no
manning of %innocents and non-com-
batants, bombing of hospitals and
other horrors, because it was not
good sportsmanship and not fair

OF the early Spanish explora-
tons little is known, except that
Coronado probably reached the
great plain of this region in 1541.
More than one hundred and
twenty-five years later Father
Marquette noted the Platte river
on his trip up the Missouri. In
the beginning of the Nineteenth
century the Lewis and Clark ex-
petition skirted the boundaries
of the present state and in 1903,
Manuel Lisa established the
first known settlement which was
a fur trading post at Bellevue.
This was just after the Louisiana
Purchase had brought Nebraska
into United States territory.
Omaha was established as a
post of the American Fur COM
pany in 1925 and Nebraska City
the following year.

passing of the Kansas-Nebraska
act in 1854, which arranged that
these two sections should become
free or slave states at the die
tate of their inhabitants. The
Nebraska territory was then or
ganized and reached from the
fortieth to the forty-ninth paral-
lei. In 1861, the region north
of 43 was made into Dakota
territory. The Idaho territory
was also created, which re-
duced Nebraska to its present
size of 1880 square miles, ex-
cept for a slight addition in the
Northwest which was made in
1882.
In 1867 Nebraska was admit
ted as the 37th state over the

THANKS, GILBERT!

The other day Gilbert X. CHESTER
ton. the eminent British author
gave the American people a high
compliment. Some compliments
are in bad taste because untrue, but
Gilbert evidently knew what he wal
talking about. He was recently a
visitor in our country and had a
chance to see Americans at home.
That he came to a few important
conclusions is evidenced by the fol-
lowing:
IT like Americans for a great
many reasons. 1 like them be-
cause even the modern thing
called industrialism has not en-
tirely destroyed in them the
very ancient thing called dem
ocracy. / like them because
they have a respect for work
which really curbs the human
tendency to snobbishness. l
like them because they do not
think that stupidity is a super
iority in business and practical
life; and because they do not
think hat ideas are always in
sanities. | like what is rather
unphilosophically exprest by
saying that they are all opti-
mists; at any rate, very few of
them are pessimists. like
them because they are never
guilty of the CHASTITY blasphemy
of supposing that there is some
thing fine about being bored,
any more than about being
blinded or famed, or paralyzed.
And of all the tributes paid in
that paragraph of high tributes, the
greatest is this: 81 like them be-
cause they are never guilty of the
CHASTITY blasphemy of supposing that
there is something fine about being
bored, any more than about being
blinded or famed, or paralyzed."
Here, more than in anything else,
is the greatness of the American
people. They have conquered en-
nui, ennui the greatest and night

a man yields to ennui, he might as
