WHY NOT BRAYTON?
YES, WHY NOT?

Those in Audubon county, who
doubt the advisability of establish
ing consolidated schools, Should
turn their eyes toward HARRISON Co.
where they have been given a thor
ough trial. Magnolia has consoli dat
ed rural schools and a S35 Zoo. 90
S. .h'ool building will soon be erected
Pisga.h has voted for consolidation
and is circulating a petition for a
100000 building. Beebeetown
where another consolidated school
is located will build $40, 100000
building this season; California
Junction is working for THE consoli-
dation of several schools, and the
Mondamin school will be replaced
with S25, 100000 building. Plans
are perfected for the erection of
an $S0,000.o0 building to care for
the high, setlool pupils of Missouri
Valley and vicinity This progress
in one county ought to be convinc-
ing argument for the consolidation
of rural schools in other counties
Why not Brayton?

AN OLD ONE
BUT STILL GOOD

An Oklahoma girl played a mean
trick ON her mother the other day.
BY accident she found am old love
lettter that her father had written
her mother i'm the happy days of
their courtship. She read the letter
to HER mother substituting her own
name and the name of her heau
who tagged around after her.
Her mother ralved with anger and
disgust and forbade the girl to
llave anything more to do with a
young stmpleton who had no more
sense than to write such gush ito a
girl. The daughter THEM handed her
mother the letter to look over and
the house suddenly became so quiet
that ONE could hear the grass grow
ing in the front yard.

CHOOSING THE COUNTY
SUPT. OF SCHOOLS

AS the time lis drawing near to
select a county superintendent of
schools, We consider it appropriate
to say a word regarding the MAN.
agment of the schools of the coun-
ty during the incumbency of the
present official, Miss ELLA Stearns.
We venture tile assertion that me-
Yer before since the organization of
the county has the MORAL CONDI-
TION OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE at
tending school been ON so HIGH "A
PLANE.
The energy put into the work from
the beginning of her duties of Su-
perintendent is equal to the best ef-
fort by any one in that lime of work
In the populous south part of the
county her coming is looked for
ward to with enthusiasm by the
student children near unto cele-
bration day and her instruction
always for good, is remembered
from visit to visit.
Our hope and desire is that She
may be unanimously elected to sue
ceed herself in this responsible Of

S 90 PER YEAR
THE BOSPHOR0US

Las the attention of the world is
again upon the Bosphorus little
description of this historic strait
will be read with int crest. The Bos-
phorus joins the Black Sea with
the Sea of Marinora and lis some
times called the Strait of Constanti-
nople.
1t is 10 miles long and averages
considerably less than a mile wide
No place is it more than one and
four-fifths miles wide.
A celebrated writer in describ-
ing its physical features says: s'In
its swift flow lit is a river and i'm
its depth, a sea, yet many sea is
less profound, and many a river
spreads wider and has less rapid
current" Its average depth is 80 1T.
and there is no place in the chan
mel where 1T is less than LAT feet in
depth. So sharply its banks descend
from the surface of the water that
large vessels hugging the land too
closely, although in deep water, of
ten run their bowsprits
and yards into houses on shore.
1t is the only line of communica-
tion between the Black Sea and the
Mediterranean, one of it's banks
being Asiatic territory and the 9TH
er European.
The Bosphorus has been the
scene of many struggles from the
earliest times. Traditional tales are
told of fierce onslaughts ON it's
banks in the fourteenth century be-
fore Christ.
A hundred years ago Constamti-
nople and the Bospborus hung i'm
the balance just as lit does today.
Emperor Alexander of Russia insist
ed to Napoleon that the absolute
necessity to Russia. was the passes
sion of Constantinople.
| Napoleon was at that time the
autocratic arbiter of Europe and
/ F,.plperor Alexander declared that
raere wasAno price SC great, no com
!. dit 50 hard, that it would not be
gratefully accorded by Russia for
possession of the city.
Napoleon gazed in silence long at
the map OF Europe, then exclaim-
ed: 'Constantinople. Constantine
pile. Never! 1t is the empire OF the
world"

THE FISH Of The
BOSPHOROUS

Several edible varieties of fish, are
fou. d in the waters of the Bosphcr-
us. They are MOSTLY migrat tory, their
summer home being in THE Black
Sea and their winter home In the
Mediterranean. The Bosplorus be-
ing the only waterway between THE
two countless shoals pass Through.
Whenever a shoal is seem aldvanc-
ling a signal is given and immediate
ly the Bosphorus becomes BLACK
with fishing BOATS
So regular are the fish in their
habits and SO un2hanging i'm tlleir
ways that description of their md
grat'ons written twenty-five cen-
turies ago is AIN accurate descrip-
tion of the varieties and their move
mems today.

SENSE
AND INTEGRITY

Lonlgfello could take a WORTH
Less piece of paper and write
poem on it and make it worth SOS,
000-that's genius There are some
men who could write a. few words
on a piece of paper and make it
wo.th $S,00O,0 O,000-thats capital. The
United States can take an ounce
and quarter of gold and make it
worth $20-that's money. A me-
chanic can take material worth SIS
and make it into watch springs
worth 81 1,O00-that's skill There is
a man in Chicago who cam take
fifty cent piece of canvas, paint a
picture ON it, and make it worth
S l,000-1that's art. A Greek can
take an article worth 75c and sell
lit for $1-that's business. A woman
could purchase hat for 75c but
prefers one worth $27 THAT'S fool
ishmess. A ditch digger handles sev
eral tons of earth for 81 so a day
thats labor. The author of this
cam write check for $4,000, 900,
but 1T wouldn't be worth a dime
that's rough. There are people who
will tell you that other papers are
as good as this-thats nerve. Take
$l.O0 and get years subscription
to the Audubon County Journal-
that's common sense.
