For the Live Boys
Younger T' Boy
Leaden Give Party
For New Members
A party has been given to a dif-
ferent group of boys nearly every
Saturday during the past winter and
spring. Older boys have always
given excellent service in handling
the large parties, in the play room,
as guides, office help, ushers and
refreshment dispensers. Their serv
ice has been invaluable in making
the parties a great success. How
ever, last Saturday E. . Mickle-
wnght was at camp near Valley and
with the encampment were the
trusties who have always been de
pended upon. In view of this fact
T. S. Arnold who is in charge of the
boys' division during the absence of
Mr. Micklewright, decided that since
there were no older boys about to
help he would use older grade school
boys. As chief of the refreshments
Maurice Vest and Charles Stearns
were general supervisors. Richard
Blundell was chief brick chopper
while Perry Seeley, Don Jones, Wil
liam Ure, jr., were sandwich slingers
Billie Brooks acted as head usher
Donald Shoup was office as
sistant and Philip Price and
to Mr. Arnold. Donald Shoup was
office assistant and Philip Price and
Donovan Gouldin took care of the
locker room while the boys went
for their swim. The party for new
members was a great success. Its
purpose being to get the 125 new
members better acquainted with the
many privileges they are entitled to
enjoy tnrougnoui tne coming year,
Field Accelerated
School Takes Trips
Tuesday morning the pupils of the
Field Accelerated school, with their
teacher, Miss Johnson, and J. Shailer
Arnold of tht Omaha Y. M. C A,
spent tht morning making several
factory trips,' The group of 30 pu
pils left the "Y" at 9 o'clock for the
American refinery and smelters,
where they observed the refining
processes of many different metals.
The Iten Biscuit company was then
' visited, where they saw many kinds
of cookies and crackers in the differ
ent stages of making. Here they
were favored with samples of cook
ies. The Petersen-Pegau bakery
was a source, oi special interest to
every one of the students. The
bread-making methods were so well
explained by the guides that the trip
was highly enjoyed. These trips
have been made many times during
the winter by many different schools.
By this method the pupils of the
schools get first-hand knowledge of
industrial processes which are funda
mental in their development and life.
Many would grow, up' and never
know the industrial methods that the
necessities are provided.

be made W give the boys- a good
long -swim and locker room service
During the summer, months the pool
is cleaned, scoured and refilled every
day to insure the' most sanitary con
ditions while swimmingt. Also every
boy is. required to .have a. thorough
soap bath and shower .before enter
ing the pool.

(Prize)
A Trip of a NickeL
People call me a nickel, but I am
only a round piece of shining nickel
I was made in a mint in Philadel
phia. First I was sent to a bank in
New York. I laid in a vault three
weeks and then was taken from there
and an old woman put me in her old
pocketbook, I tumbled and bounced
around until I thought it would kill
me, but I didn't have to stay there
.long.
I was then taken to town and
given to a grocery man for two ap
ples. The groceryman put me into
1 a safe and there I stayed. I saw a
nickel just like me and I thought,
jmy, hew pretty you arel You look
j just like silver. Then I heard a
voice say, Hello, there I Who are
you? Where did you come from?"
I looked to see who it was, and, to
my surprise, it was another nickel
Just then somebody picked me up
and squeezed me and a little boy
had me in his hands. He took me
home and put me in a box.
I stayed there a long tiims it
seemed to me a century, but one day
a woman came and got me. ne
took me to a store and bought some
gum with me. She would rather
chew gum than have a nice bright
nickel like me. .
"My, how I do shine 1" I said to
myself.
"Shiner I heard someone sneer
at me, "you do not shine half as
much as I do." I glanced at tnyseli
to see Jtnd, "My, oh my!" I -claimed?
There I was all tarnished,
for so many people had handled me.
I do wish people would wash before
they pick me up. It gave me such
a shock that I fell off the counter to
the floor.
I had just fallen when I heard a
little boy say, "Oh, John! John!
See what I have found!" The next
thing I knew I was in his pocket
Then he said to his sister, Mary, "I'll
tell you what let's do, let's plant it
and see if a tree grows op, so we can
gather many nickels off of if So
they dug a hole in the ground and
buried me, and here I lay to this day
all tarnished and rusty. Joe Pribye,

How Ted Won the Prize.
Ted was raising corn for the How
ard county fair. The fair was to be
held in his home town, and most of
the boys were going to exhibit -some-i

and was inclosed by a barbed-wire
fence. It was in November that Ted
started busking his corn and he fin
ished the Sth day of Decamber. The
corn and then laid in the shed to
dry out The shed was east of the
house, anad was entered through a
sliding door tin the north side. One
evening Ted went -out to the chicken
house. It was after supper and it
was pitch dark outside, but the chick
ens had to be 'shut in. Just as" Ted
stepped frem-the chicken house door
he heard the shed door creak. Then
he saw a form disappear inside of
the shed, where his precious "torn
lay drying." CatcMng up a revolver
from his washstand in his room, Ted
started for the shed, but just .then -a
car shot into the road ahead of him.
Ted investigated aand found that bis
precious corn vras -"gone. He went
to the house feeling very blue, All
the rest of the spring till .the fair Xed
worked hard. The fair day came and
Ted went As he passed a stand of
corn he thought he saw something
familiar about the corn. Then he
shouted out It was his own corn.
The thief was punished for taking
the corn, and Ted won first prize on
his corn. Isabel Aurand, age 11,

Once upon a time there lived a
little girl and her name was Clara.
Her parents were dead. One day
Clara, when walking through the
woods, saw a big bear and so she
ran and the big bear ran after her.
When Clara was running very, very
fast she saw a fairy and the fairy
asked, "What are you running for?"
The little girl said, "Don't you see
behind me , there is a bear. The
fairy said, "Come here, I want to
talk to you." So Clara did and the
fairy said, "Look here," and the
fairy touched the bear with her wand
and changed the bear into a gold
watch and gave it to the girl Then
the fairy said, "Come with me and I
will take you to my home." Clara
did and the fairy took her home and
fed her good things to eat and she
put on her new pink dress that the
fairy gave her and they lived happy
ever after. -Grace Irene Kellogg,

When I Throw a Ball Into the
Air While Walking Why
Does It Follow Me?
When you throw a ball into th
air while moving your body forward
or backward, either slowly or fast,
the ball partakes of two motions
the one upward and the forward or
backward motion of your body. The
ball possessed the motion of your
body before it left your hand to go
uo into the air because your body
was moving before you threw it up,
and the ball was a part of you at
the time.
If you are moving forward up to
the time you throw the ball into the
air and stop as soon as you let go of
the ball, it will fall at some distance
from you. ' Also if you throw the
ball up from a standing position
and move forward as soon as the
ball leaves your hand the ball will
fall behind you, provided you ac
tually threw it straight up.
- Of course you know that the earth J
is moving many miles per hour on
its axis and that when you throw a
ball straight into the air from a
standing position, the earth and
yourself as well as the ball move
with the earth a long distance
fore the ball comes . down agam,
The relative position is. however.
the same. We get our sense of mo
tion by a comparison with other oo
jects. If you are in a train that is"
moving swiftly and another train
aroes bv in the opposite direction,
moving just as fast, you seem to b
going twice as fast as you really are
If the train on the other track, bow
ever is Koine at the same rate of
speed and in the same direction as
you are, you will appear to be stand
ing stilL
Going back to the ball again, yen
will find that it always partakes of
the motion of the body holding it in
addition to the motion given when
it is thrown up. Book of Wonders.
Chinese Fairies
China has many ways and customs
which are very different from those
of America, but n4 of th oddest is
the Chinese view of fairies. The fair
ies in China, writes A T. Groesbeck, '
an American Baptist missionary, ar
not young. They are old men. Is
Chinese wrltinu the word "fairy- is
made up of the written forms mean
ing man and mountain, and the
word means an old man who has
gone to the mountains to think, and
who has gradually grown away even
from the need of human food. The '
"fairy" is very old, but he never
grows any older, the Chinese believe.

As the band played the little pro
cession started down the shoe house
steps. - First came two proud little
flower girls, eatfh carrying a big yel
low rose petal Next followed the
Lady of Fashion as maid oj honor,
followed by tht four bridesmaids,
all dressed alike and wearing bats

low rose leaf. The bride came next
on the arm of the Old Soldier, who
was to give her away at the altar,
and following came the Lover twins
carrying the end of the long bridal
veil .., :
When the little party had gathered
about the altar Tess and Buddy knelt

flower girls had placed for them.
It was wonderfully impressive. As

kissed the bride, and it was whis

little men kissed her twice.

after they had eaten their fill the
floor was cleared for dancing, which
