The Busy
NEBRASKA'S semi-centennial historical parade, which will form a
part of the annual Ak-Sar-Ben festivities In Omaha next Thurs
day, will be an excellent opportunity for Busy Bees, more par
ticularly the ones who live In Omaha, to learn a great deal about
the early history of our great state. The men who helped shape
the progress of Nebraska and the pioneers who endured so many
hardships to make our commonwealth what It is, will receive fitting tribute
from this generation.
That the nation's president, Woodrow Wilson, will be in Omaha that
day, adds a fitting touch to the great historical pageunt.
School will no doubt be dismissed to enable the little boys and girls
to witness this moving spectacle. The Buxy liee editor hopes that all school
children will be able to see the parade with little difficulty, and cautious
them to look well to their safety in the rush of the crowds.
Evelyn Kuhry of the Blue Side won the prise book this week. Honorable
mention was awarded Glee Gardner, also of the Blue Side, and Ella Riha
of the Red Side.
Little Stories
(Prize Story.)
Mystery of the Bald Head.
By Evelyn Kuhry, Aged 11 Years,
Schuyler, Neb. Blue Side.
It was a bright June morning and
mother had our suitcase packed and
we were going to celebrate my eighth
birthday by going 500 miles away to
visit my grandparents.
When we arrived we were quite
disappointed to find dear old grandpa
was not at the depot, but grandma
and auntie were there to met us. . We
had a very pleasant visit and we were
to meet grandpa at Chicago on our
return ana visit with him a few days.
As we neared the hotel we knew
grandpa would be sitting out in one
of the chairs waiting for us. Sudden-
I exclaimed;
"Mother, I see him," and Iiran up,
put my hands over hit eyes, kissed
his bald head and said, "Guess who
it is? He didn't answer for a mo
ment and I said, "Guess, guess 1" but
lie couldn t. 1 then ran around in
front of him to show him it was his
little granddaughter, and, to my sur
prise, I kissed some other little girl's
bald-headed grandpa.

Sixty-second Street. Blue Side.
I have not written to the page for
quite a while, so I thought 1 would
write on my favorite topic.
During the summer ! Wander
around doing as I please and going
where I please. But now school has
come and duty walks across my path,
I don't mind it a bit. I have quite
a few lessons to get because I am in
eighth B. We are studying The Mer
chant of Venice," and our reading
teacher, Miss Keap,. is certainly a
good one. Everyone in our class
likes her very much and she is a gen
eral favorite among all the classes.
Some of us girls have a club and
we are going to give an entertain
ment. Our class is going to give a
wiener roast, and we expect to have
a fine time. .-
I am taking physiology and am so
very interested in the processes of
finding the bacteria and how to take
care of the body. : Miss Whiteley is
also an interesting teacher. Do you
think I will be too old to write stor
ies to The Bee when I get in high
school? I will be 14. Well, as I have
my arithmetic to do, I will close, hop
ing to hear from the editor, v ; .;

, I- My Pet Robins. 4
By Ella Riha, Aged 8 Years, Dwight,
v -. Neb. Red Side. v
One day my sister and I went to the
orchard for some apples. We found
a nest of little robins. Every day yti
helped the mother and father robins
to feed their babies." We always dug
some fish -worms and put them in a
little basket and hung it on a branch
near the nest. Then we- watched the
birds getting the worms; we kept do
ing this, until one day we came to
feed the birds. They were all gone.
I was very sorry. I guess it was my
old black cat which killed them, be
cause they were too young to fly
away. This is my first story, and is a
true one. . .

Going Skating.
By Myrtle A. Ostrander. Aged 14
Years. Spade, Neb. Blue Side.
There are about fifteen pupils in
our school. This was quite a num
ber for a country school. In the
short winter days we somtimes got
just half an hour noon.
So one day we children asked our
teacher if we might go skating. She
said: "Can you go so far in just half
an hour?" Then we asked her if we
could have, an hour noon. She
studied over both questions a minute
or so anil then answered, les, you
may go; also have an hour for noon;
but how will you know when it's
time for books?" We told her we
would guess at the time and not stay
too long. Then she said she would
go with us. This was all talked over
while we were eating our dinner.
Now we had all finished our din
ner and all were ready to start. Sev
era! of us had skates. The pon was

the school house. When we were go
ing down another girl and I walked
with the teacher. She ,did not walk
fast, so we couldn't have any fun
running and playing. The other chil
dren ran ahead.
We were all talking about how
much fun we would have when 'we
got there. When we got there the
ice was thawed so badly that we
could not skate. We tried, but the
skates would not slide.
The teacher said; "Let's see which
of you can run to the end of the poncj
the quickest." Five others besides
myself started, but none of us had
wind enough to run that distance.
the teacher said it was time to go
home. So we alt" started for the
school house. Several of us got there
before the teacher did. So we had
considerable fun. We all studied
hard after our fun.

The Timber SouirreL
By Oliver Olson, Age 12, Leigh, Neb.
s-. Blue swe. . , . .
One day as I was standing: out in
the trees I heard a noise. I looked
up to see what it was, and it was a
timber squirrel. Then it came down
the tree, with two nuts in its mouth.
At the bottom of the tree it dropped
them. Then he picked ud one in his
mouth and ran about ten feet. Then
he began to dig and every once in a
while he would put the nut in the hole
until he had it big enough so the
dirt would cover it, then he put the
nut in tne noie ana covered it to get
it solid. Then he went back to the

got it all off he went a little way and
then he began to dig and do the same
as lie did with the other nut.- After
he got it covered up he went to a

see if anyone was looking. I sup

I enjoy reading the stories from our

from school. I am in the Seventh
grade. My teacher's name is Miss
Wilson. .
Six years ago my sister and I
started to school. It was far to walk,
so we rode one of our horses, and he
is not any too gentle, because he
gets scared pretty easily. '
The wind came up very strong that
day and going home that night there
was a paper in the grass at the aide
of the road and when we got on this

of the horse and he began to run and
threw my sister and f off.
My sister was unconscious for
about ten minutes. The horse ran on
as fast as he could till he got out
of sight and then he stopped in a
cornfield to eat corn, and when I
started toward him he went farther
out in the cornfield.
When we got home I told papa and
he went after him.
But I don't think we will ever see
him again, because we sold him three
years ago to Mr. Smith and Mr. Smith
sold him to a horse buyer and he
was taken to war.
This is my first story and is a true
one.
When I Was 1 Penny.
By Marie Swillow Aged 10 Years.
, Butte, Neb. Red Side.
I was made in a mine in Montana.
One day I was given to a little boy
for his birthday. He took me down
town and bought some candy and
gave me to a man. He nut me in a
drawer. I saw a lot of other pennies,
but four of them didn't look like me.
They had an Indian head on them,
the rest had a Lincoln head on them
like me.
We began to talk. All at once we
were jerked terribly. . I asked what
that was, and they said "only a man
putting some money in the drawer."
Just then something knocked me over
and another penny was in the drawer.
We began talking again when we
were icrked again and T was taken
out and given to a little boy. He
took tne out of the store and dropped
me in some water. ,Tt was awfully
cold. He looked around but he could
not find me and then be began cry
ing and ran home. .
Pretty soon two children came and
began wading in the water. One
of them saw a shining piece in it
and took me out of the water and
washed me ot?.
They 'showed me to, their mother I
ana tola ner now tney louna me.
She took me and put me in the
cupboard. Then this little girl's
brother got me and put me in his
saving bank with a lot of other pen
nies. We lay there for a long time. At
last we were taken out ami put in a
package and' we were sent to Har
risburg, because every Lincoln penny
was to be sent to Harrisburg.
We were made1 ir shots for the
war for their guns, and then we
were sent to Europe and used by
Germany in ,her ! Zeppelin raids on
London. '
