In last week's paper was

members of the class wrote about

My Favorite American Author—
John Greenleaf Whittier is nry
favorite autljor. because he write
many poems and stories of simple
faith and noble ambition. Those who
did not care ror readings and learn
ings loved to read his poetry. He was
called the poet of the people, be
cause he wrote poems that every
one liked.
He chose simple subjects to write
about, and many of his poems were
written about life on the farm.
Whittier was born on a farm, and
he was probably thinking back to
his childhood days there when he
wrote the poem. "The Barefoot Boy"
He also wrote about husking-bees.
fishermen, scenes of farm life in
summer and winter.
Whittier started writing poetry
when he was a small boy. His first
poem was printed when his sister
sent it to a Boston Newspaper.
Other poems followed, until one day
the editor of this Boston newspaper
came to see thc boy who was writ
ing these pocr.is. He found the boy
plowing in the corn field.
Whittier's career as a poet started
early and his poems which so vivid
ly portray thc simple happenings of
everyday life and which painted
such vivid pictures of nature will
live in the hearts of people always.

Benjamin Franklin was one of the
greatest Americans of his time. Al
though the beginnings seemed very
hard. Franklin was ambitious to L>-
come a printer from an early age.
His brother owned a printing shop
and he used to write stories
sly and send them to his brother to
be printed in the paper.
Franklin was very poor and he
had a hard, long climb from pover
ty to fame. We admire him for his
strong determination to succeed and
make something worthwhile of his
life in spite of many hardships.
A little book called. Poor Rich
ard's Almanac was one of Franklin's
mast famous works, and made him
famous as an author. Besides a cal
endar of the year and porophecies
of the weather, this little book con
tained anecdotes and many wise
proverbs. We still hear many of
those proverbs today.
Although Franklin was able to go
to school very little, he read every
book he could get his hands on. He
was determined to make a career
for himself, and he did. Fraiudin
was a printer, publisher, author,
scientist, and philosopher.

The number of Rexall converts made by a Baptist Minister in
Centralia, Washington, who writes: “Thousands of dollars
could not pay for the relief I have received from Bisma Rex,
previously I had been treated by great specialists in many cities
and spent a month under chemical observation, all to no avail
I cannot thank you enough for bringing me such comfort
