"River Stay Way From My

I am sending a story about a
silo.
The Silo:
See this big silo. It is full of cut
corn. We call this corn silage. The
cows like silage. It makes them
give more milk. It makes the cows
fat too.
Barnyard Babies:
There are kittens in a barrel in
the grainroom,
There are puppies in a nest upon
the hay,
And a new-born calf is standing
by his mother,
Oh, the farm’s a lovely lovely
place to play,
There are fluffy scraps of velvet in
the barnyard,
Ana some tunny little ducks with
paddle feet,
They have such flat and funny,
funny spoon bills—
Barnyard babies all are very, very
sweet.
We memorized this poem and
found a picture to represent each
line.

Why We Must Study
by Ruth Rogers
"By the sweat of thy brow thou
shalt eat bread." This is just as
true today as it was with Adam.
Everyone of us must work if we
wish to accomplish anything. There
are some lucky ones it is true, who
can sit through classes without
bringing up one single lesson. But
as I said before most of us must
work. When we give our word we
will write a certain theme and
have it ready at a certain time we
should at least try to bring it up. ]
One of the most manly virtues I
think a person can have is depen-
dability. Character just doesn’t at-I
tach itself to us. We must work
and strive and gain our goal step I
by step.
Now in the seventh grade we are
moulding our character. This is
one of the most important periods
in our whole lives. Every thought
we think, every act or deed takes
root in our hearts and usually
stays. When we feel ourselves
slipping backward we must think
of what M. B. Whiteman said:
"Keep your face always toward
the sunshine and the shadows will
fall behind you.”

Seventh Grade News

In English, we are going to give
book reports Friday. We are all

In arithmetic we are having re-
ciprocals. Some think they are
hard and others don’t mind them.
We are learning fast though it
is pretty hard.
In reading class we are studying
‘ Legend of the Sleepy Hollow."
We read for Thursday the story
of Eli Whitney and his cotton gin.

Old Mustard
by Billie Sessions
One day Father John came
home and said that he had sold
the big farm and that they were
going to a new country with forty
families or more. They were all
delighted when the day came that
we were to go.
The wagon looked like houses on
wheels, all except the top. The
top was canvas and inside hung
kettles, bacon, ham and other
things. On the outside hound hung
the large kettles to cook large
things and they were banging on
each other.
The wagons were drawn by
horses and oxen. Most were drawn
by four horses, and from four to
eight oxen. One of the oxen was
called “Jerry" Jerry got weaker
every day. Then one morning we
found him dead. We went on with
three for a while. One day we met

from a look at these prices that they
are low — many of them lower than
they were last fail.
And here’s the other big fact to know
—they buy Goodyear Pathfinders—one
of America’s five largest-selling tires
—with the safety of center traction and
30% more mileage — than they gave a
year ago.
Think a moment. Winter’s coming —
with more danger of slipping — more

wise to buy now—have new Goodyears
when you need safety most — and be
sure of the low prices offered today?

a trader. He had an oxen he called
“Old Mustard.” Father John did
not want to trade, but he said he
had to have another oxen. So he
paid for Old Mustard. He was an
ugly ox like a buffalo. Father
John said that he was half buffalo.
He could smell Indians half a
mile away. That night he was glad
he bought old Mustard because he
pulled more than the other oxen
did. He ate less than the others.
Each night they were chained in a
circle. Once when old Mustard
pawed the airt the guard saw him
and woke the men. They got ready
for an attack. Then old Mustard
broke his rope and ran away. Soon
the men heard the calls of the In-
dians. The Indians saw that the
pioneers were ready for them so
they ran away.
The next morning the men went
out to hunt for old Mustard. They
found him eating grass not far
from the wagon. Had it not have
been for old “Mustard” the Indians
would have killed many of the
pioneers.

My Dog And I Seek Adventures
by Dorothy Gray
I was up early one morning1
saddling my horse ready to go to
one of the wheat fields where there
were many rabbits. My dog, Doug-
las, was going with me for he
liked to hunt raubits.
I always wanted him to ride
horseback with me. I went up be-
side a wagon and he jumped in
and then he jumped on the horse.
I let him get on first, then after I
got on he put his paws on my
shoulder and that was the way
he held on.
After we were in the field he
jumped off and ran after a rabbit
I was watching him run after the
rabbit and before long he stopped
for the lost track.
I put him on again and went
through a gate into a pasture. We
went to a place where there were
many big holes which I thought
were fox holes. I was afraid to
go near them but my dog jumped
