Little Pearl Jane, 2 years and 8 months old, upon being told what the Guidite Club stood for began to display why she should become the first member of said club by showing an over average amjpujit'fof intt‘llig>fnce. She immediately brought out her scrap book and proceeded to ex plain the meaning of each pic ture therein. Picture number one was that of Jesus Christ blessing little children; her assertion on this ► picture was that “Jesus loves all good children.” Number 2, was that of Paul preaching, to which she said “Paul wants all men to be good.” Number 3, was the picture of a little girl praying. Asked about this picture, her reply was that “all good girls pray to Jesus.” Number 4 was a portrait of Uncle Sam, to this she said “Uncle Sam’s flag will protect us all ” Number 6 was the picture of an outstand ing hum|ani8arian. Upon being Asked who this was she replied “the President.’ Number 6 was ian, her answer to this one was the picture of a second humanitar that is Lincoln who “used to be the president and got killed in a picture show.” Number 7 was the father of the qountry, to this she said that “he also was a president.” Number 8 the president and a lit tle girl, inquiring as to who this was she replied that is “the pre sident and his granddaughter.” Number 9 was the picture of an Watson Bros.

Number 10 was the pic ture of the Dionne children who she said lived in Canada- And thus ended the scrap book of little Pearl Jane Billingsley. For such informa tion Unde Gil wishes to thank little Peajl Jane and extend a sincere hope that she continues to build a store of knowledge through her little scrap book.
