THE LUNCH SERVICE FOR
POOR CHILDREN
In all of the schools of Indianapo
lis they had free milk lunch for the
children whose parents were not
working. It was served at a period
between 10:30 and 11:00 o'clock.
The milk was furnished by neigh
boring milk companies. The cracker's
and cookies were furnished by bak- i
eries also. The lunch consisted of a i
pint of milk, 4 crackers, and 2 cook- j
ies to a person. The serving of this J
lunch was done by the girls of the i
eighth grade. The carrying up of thej
milk in cases and sweeping up of the |
crumbs after each lunch was done by
?the boys of the eighth grade. This
was only one of the good things done
for the poor people.

THE CLIFF DWELLERS
The first white men who came to
America found the Indians living in
wigwams. These wc-re their homes.
But far, far to the west there were
other Indian tribes. They lived in
houses built against high cliffs. These
Indians were called Cliff Dwellers.
The Ciiff dwellers built their houses
in places hard to reach. The only way
to reach them was to climb up steep
paths. Often a whole tribe of Cliff
dwellers lived in one of these houses.
By living together they were safer
front savage tribes and wild animals.
The houses of the Cliff dwellers were
made of bricks dried in the sun. Theae
houses were three or four stories
high. Each story was set farther back
than the one below it. There were
no doors in the walls of the first
story. To enter the house, the Cliff
dwellers climbed up to the roof on
J ladders. Through boles in the roof
| they went down other laddera into the
j rooms below. A strange way to enter
a house when the Cliff dwellers saw
J an enemy corning, they pulled their
j ladders to the roof. Then the enemy
i could not get into the houses. The
i Cliff dwellers wove beautiful blank
i eta, and they made wonderful ciay
pottery. They wove very fine baskets
too.

A DIG. FISH
One day up, in Gloucester J. B.
Whitmire and I went away for the
day fishing at a place about 5 miles
from our house. We reached there
| at about nine- and fished until about
' noon. There we had our lunch. We
fished again for about an hour. J. B.
said that he wanted to go home. I
said I wanted to stay, at any rate we
stayed.
At last about five, I decided to go.
I wai winding up my reel when all of
a .-sudden I felt an enormous jerk. I
called to J. B. to help me pull. I
though my line had caught on a root
i or stone, when we were pulling with
, all our might out of the water came
I an 18 inch rainbow. So the day was
a success, not a failure.

WINTER'S ARRIVAL j
Jolly Winter will soon be on his way
To cover the land with ice and so
boys and girls can play;
Making snow men that give them
such delight.
With sticks for mouths and coal for
eyes, they stand guard at night
Jack Frost will come while we're in
bed,
And pinch our cheek3 w rosy red.
I will be glad when winter gets here,
For that is the happiest time of
year.

NOBODY'S CAT
I am a cat without a name. I sup
pose that is because I am nobody's
cat. I often go hungry, and I am
sometimes chased by the boys. When
I was little a man put me in a tow
sack and carried me a long way from
home. I have not seen my mamma or
had a shelter since.

In the Dog House
November 3, 1932.
Dear Bob,
I have been a bad puppy since you
have been away. Last night when I
smelt the supper I slipped into the
kitchen and climbed upon the table.
I ate till I could eat no more. As I
was getting down the cook came in
and knocked me down with the
broom; then she took me outside and]
nave me a switching.
Yesterday a little boy came to visit
us. lie was playing with me and pull -
ed my tail. That made n?b angry so I
bit him. He screamed and ran into
the house and told on me. Then I was
put in my house.
Finally I broke out of the house ,
and went to play with two little boys.
They were dressed to take a visit, but
I jumped upon them and got their
clothes dirty. A? their mother came
< ut I started to run, but I was too
late. She hit me on the head with a
stick and knocked me down. I didn't
know anything for a long time. As
soon as I came to I ran home, where
I have been ever since.
Do hurry and come home.
Your loving dog,
Fido.
DAVID YATES, Fifth grade
AUTUMN
I think autumn is the prettiest sea
son of the year. It is then that the
i?ay colored chrysanthemums are in
bloom. The leaves on the trees turn
red, yellow, orange and brown, making
the forest covered mountains lock
just like a picture.
Autumn is also a very busy season.
At this time of year we gather in the
pumpkins, apples, nuts, and corn and i
store them away to use during the
cold winter months that are justj
ahead.
D. H. WINCHESTER,
Fifth grade.
IT'S HUNTING TIME
Autumn is here, and the leaves are
turning brown,
Acorns are falling to the ground;
Chipmunks are running all around.
Hunters are coming with guns that
make a terrible sound.
Rabbits are hiding in the ground
Squirrels are killed and eaten by the
hunters.
Fowls fly up and down frightened at
the sound of the guns.
BUR.LEY HOLDEN,
Fifth grade.
WINTER
All the leaves are falling very fast
and winter will soon be here. We like
the snow and frost, but we don't like
to see all the pretty flowers killed.
We like to take pretty flowers to
school to make our room look happy.
But when cold winter comes we won't
have any to take.

ARMISTICE DAY
We celebrate November the eleven
th, which is Armistice Day, in honor
of those who fought in the World
War. The brave men fought for the
freedom of our country. We should al
ways remember these men and honor
them always.
LOONEY SISK,
Fifth grade.
THE LEAVES
The leaves are falling to the ground,
They are red, yellow, and brown,
They sail around up in the sky,
Sometimes going very high.
When the leaves begin to fall
Then the sheep begin to call.
We must bring them to the field
And gel. them ready for the cold.

four weeks old. They are very pretty.

fun.

Last Tuesday we were reading and
explaining some quotations about
Lincoln. One of them v/os:
"Oh, slow to smite and swift to
spare,
Gentle and Merciful and just!"
The teacher asked what "smite"
meant a pupil answered, "It means
'to hit.' "
"To hit what?" asked the teacher.
"To hit the rail or iron wedge," the
pupil replied.
The pupil had seen a picture of
Lincoln splitting rails t r. make a fence
and thought this tho answer. He had
also read" the verse:
"He built the rail pile as he
built the state,
Pouring his splendid strength
into every Move."
