Talking about eggs, if you want to
see something phenomenal in this line
call at the United States National
Museum and inspect the product Of
the giant bird called the Aepiornis.
1t is twelve inches long and ten inches
wide, while its shell is nearly quar-
ter of an inch thick and as hard as a
rock. Some idea of its size may be
had when it is stated that it is cap
able of holding the contents of six os-

The celebration of Miss Jessie
Strahl's 21st birthday, which oc-
Cured at "Montrose Park on
Sportsman lake, May 13, was an
event which she and her friends will
long remember. In the afternoon
she was pleasantly surprised by the
Friday Harbor high school and mem

guests brought many useful and
beautiful membranes, among
which was an emblematic pin pre-
sented by the Rebekahs, of whose
lodge she is secretary. The after
noon was spent in playing games,
and, on account of the rain, the pic
mic lunch was served in the house.
The neighbors had planned surprise
for the evening, to which were in

Der of whom remained, and the time
was agreeably passed with games,
music and refreshments. At mid
night the guests departed wishing
Miss Strahl many happy returns of

BOOKS

(By Gladys Guard, 9th Grade, F. H. H. s.
For many years the civilized world
has appreciated the value of books.
They first came into use about six
hundred years B. c.. But for num-
Der of years after their introduction
the world did not realize their true
worth. Many of the people in an
cient times could neither read nor
write, owing to the scant opportrlni-
ties offered by schools. But as the
educational facilities grew better the
demand for books increased, until at
present nearly every home, public
school and higher institution has a
library of it's own. The majority of
people like to read and the standard
works are daily becoming more Sc
cure in the hearts of the people.
Books may be divided into two
classes good books and bad books.
More evil is derived from the reading
of bad books than is realized. They
corrupt our manners, cause US to
have evil thoughts and in many other
ways they lower the minds of those
who read them.
But how different it is with good
books. Few people realize how much
good may be had from reading some
interesting, instructive book. We
are able to learn many facts from
History, Geography and Science by
reading descriptive Or adventurous
tales. All good books teach us some
moral lesson. Who, after reading
about the noble character of some
person, does not feel an inward de-
sire to do better? The whole course
of persons life may be changed on
account of some great lesson taught
in book.
If we cultivate the habit of read
ing, 1T soon becomes source of pleas
ure to US. We learn to love books
as very dear friends. Sometimes
they are even better than friend,
because we may grow tired of them
and throw them away or criticise
their faults, without receiving an
angry retort.
Proof of their value is found in the
fact that all really great men have
achieved their greatness by studying
and becoming acquainted with the
best books and authors. Take Abra-
ham Lincoln as an example. He
never received much schooling, other.
wise than from books. If he had not
loved reading he would not have been
fitted for the high position which he
filed so honorably. All our great
poets were readers. Many of them
preferred book to the companion
ship of their friends.
Knowing the true value of books,
let us read and appreciate the stand
ard works. By doing this we may
obtain a broader mind and be better
able to distinguish between good and
evil

A Story of Lincoln

An enthusiastic supporter from Buff
falo made a trip to Washington dur
ing the civil war to see PRECEDENT Lin
coin. The visitor, whose name was
Johnson, had prepared this polite
speech to address to the president as
he reached him at the public recep-
ton: ''The people of Buffalo, sir, be-
lieve in Almighty God and in Abra-
ham Lincoln" The president gave
an extra warm grasp to his visitors
hand, whispering in his ear, "You
tell them that they are more than
half right"

Saving
Money

We wish to call your atten-
ton to the desirability of saving
money. John D. Rockefeller
tells us that "Anyone can make
money;few can safe 1.-THE man
who is saving money is build
ing character; he is acquiring
power. It is the man with char
acter and money who is able to
take advantage of Opportunity
when she Knocks at his door.
1t is the fixed habit Of saving
something, no matter how small,
that counts. Persistent saving
creates a habit of life that is
fruitful in results. It is Russell
Sage's advice to young men to
save. twenty-five cetns out of
every dollar earned-and stick
to it. But if you can't save
twenty-five cents save ten or.
five; save something anyway.
The best way to save is to
start bank account. Money in
your pocket is easily spent, but
money in the bank is out of
easy reach.
Did you ever think about the
power of interest? Do you
know that 81 deposited each
month will amount to S64.72 in
five years and to $13980 in ten
years at percent? That s. de-
posted each month will amount
to $324.SI in five years and to
$500. in ten years? Think it
over, remembering meanwhile
that THE SAN JUAN COUNTY
BANK is we'll equipped to care
for it's large business; that it has
established a Banking by Mail
department, which it place; at
your service, and that it receives
deposits from 81 up. 1t aims to
encourage thrift, to promote the
saving 'shabit." 1t would be
pleased to open an account with
you and to help you save.
An attractive little booklet,
Banking by Mall" will be
mailed upon request if you
mention this paper.
