Mississippi is an American word. II

Indian name for the Father of Wa

it's name also has been borrowed by
towns, counties and townships.

Japan.
Mississippi bay is the home of the
great japanese navy yard and the head
quarters of the navy now endeavorine
to drive Germany from the eastern
oceans. Nevertheless, the name is quite
American. 1t had quite another name,
a Japanese name, when the American
fleet under Commodore Perry anchored
in it's waters to force treaty of com
merca from the unwilling Japanese.
Japan but tardily opened its gates to
the commerce of the world. but once
opened, hospitality reigned within, and
eventually the Japanese changed the
name of the bay to Mississippi. in hon

Perry's flag.
Americans make little account of it
but Japanese always speak of 1t &c

his people.

AS we had about ten miles to drive to

were after-dark arrivals. and the
weather had become threatening. but
we stuck to our program, had supper
out-of-doors and the men folks slept
in the tent.
1t looked SO much like rain Wednes-
day morning that we agreed before
starting out that we would make home
to sleep that night. We took a route
that figured to land us at home about
s o'clock, but either there was a mis-
calculation as to distance or we spent
more time at dinner and supper than
had been intended. At any rate. it was
nearer midnight than o'clock when
we pulled up at Sunny Knoll.
1t was agreed, by unanimous vote,
that next year we shall go on another
trip. Well start little earlier in the
season, if teamwork will permit, and
We'll take along complete camp

THE commissioner of police is ad-

insure that orders restricting lighting

you must remember. too that there is
no law here restricting the showing OF
war pictures. Absolute freedom is
given on that score. But with one eX-

They went to Louvain. after the burn

no pictures have been shown which are
of the slightest interest. as far as real
war scenes are concerned. OF course,
We have plenty of maneuvers and all
