I "I REMEMBER" ! 1 BVTHrOLDTIKIRS ; From Mr. W. J. Arterburn, H'cbb City, Missouri: I remember when I went to a one-room country i school which had about 80 pupils In all the grades with one teach- i er. Many received county graduate diplomas. ' Our playground was outside and j we played ball, prison base, King William and other old games. j I remember McKinley and Roos- j evelt and the lapel pins with tha j full dinner pail and pictures on it. I still have one. We walked two miles and took I our own lunches and apples. We j had a cellar full of apples with i names that are never heard any j more. These were Ben Davis, j Genet ains, Willow Twig, Roman- ' tes, Hell Flower and many others i . . . all with such good flavors. ' I remember how we kids had chores to do when we got home from school and how we could never get by with "no" when father fath-er said "yes." From M. M. Reese, Cincinnati, Ohio: I remember, as a child out in Cheyenne, Wyoming, the blizzards bliz-zards that would drift snow over our house and snow us in. We dug tunnels through the drifts after the snow hardened. I remember "tame" Indians coming to our door to sell bead work, und that our main diversior was to walk down to the depot tc f.ot a penny's worth of gum from a machine and watch the Union j Pacific trains come in. j Once a year we had a rodeo j called "Frontier Days." Cowboys j came from surrounding ranches, j rode bucking bronchos, roped and Inilldogged steers. The calvary from Fort Russell staged sham : battles on the prairie. Indians danced their war dances and everything ended with a stage coach holdup. This was the high spot of our year.
