They talked it over, however. and
decided to risk staying.
Spring began to bring the first
pale green tinge to the forests
when one day, as John and Mary
were working in the fields, they
caught sight of the Indians. Cox
told his wife to go to the cabin and
bar the windows. leaving the door
so he could rush in if need be.
Then he went toward the war
riors while she loaded the guns
and prepared for an attack. AS
Cox approached the warriors, they
raised the war whoop. but instead
of circling around him, stayed in
one group, and indeed sat down on
log. He did not know what to
make of it, but was determined to
be friendly. and insisted on shak-
ing hands with them. They were
cold and sullen, and refused to
speak word. Johns next move
was to admire their guns, and then
a trick he had learned came to him.
By slight of hand he removed tho
fiints and knocked out the prim-
ing, so that the guns were useless.

fore the Indians discovered what

Centennial Story

The first white settler right near
Richmond was John Cox and his
wife, Mary. who came up from Ken
tusky with several others in 1906
and remained to clear the land
while the rest went back to get
their families and household goods.
Coming up by Elkhorn creek,
they named it from pair of elk's
horns they found near the mouth,
then went on south of town about
two miles and a half by Short creek
where they stayed
One day when they were making
sugar, before their families had
come back. an Indian came up and
insisted on buying their dog until
John Cox had to order him away
with the gun. Most Of the older
Indians were friendly to them,
though. and even helped them build
their log cabin. But the young war
riors. were determined to make war
on the lonely whites. so it was
not long until one of the older Ind
ians came and warned them that
the Shawnees (for that was the
tribe) had decided to begin hos
tilities along the frontier as soon

The children at Finley Kinder
garten had the best time last Tues
day. They ate lunch out on the
grass. And while they were out
there. they played around on the
Fairgrounds. and one boy got on
the teeters but he couldn't teeter
very well by himself.
When they came back in the
building. they strung beads for a
while and played, These are moth
er's knives and forks, this is moth
er's table. this is fathers chair, and
this is baby's cradle"
But about this time. two little
girls began tickling each other, so
they had to sit on chairs while the
others marched around making a
wheel, and everybody had to lock
up their tongues to keep them still
so they wouldn't wear out And
then just before they went home,
they sang Goodbye"

Guess Secrets

The newest kind of a club is a
Secret club. which has been start
ed out in the east part of town
The members have been divided
into two groups. and then both
groups think up some secret which
the other side tries to guess. 1t
gets to be very exciting part of the
time. Maybe one of the sides will
have for their secret hiding some
thing under bush. and maybe the
other side would have a scout spy
ing on them who would see what
had been done And then maybe
things would begin to happen.
No need going into details. be-
cause you can see for yourself
that there are lots of things that
a secret club could have doing. and
if things grow dull around your
neighborhood. just start one.

Bluebirds are considered by bird
students as the most highly devei-
oped birds in the whole world. And
yet they are only seven inches long
from the tip of their beak to the
end of their tail feathers, which
means a little larger than an Eng
lish Sparrow.
Their closest relative is the rob-
in, which, although larger, is very
similar in many ways. Their
breasts are practically the same
color. their eggs, pale blush green.
and their habits just as pleasing to
people who live near them.
But while robins have been seen
around this vicinity all times in the
year, the little bluebird goes south
when the SHOWS come; so that
when they come back in the spring.
it is a sure sign that the flowers
and soft April winds are here to
stay.
Although bluebirds are so popu-
lar, and are copied on rings and
pins and even worked in embroid-
cry, it is surprising how few peo-
pie are really acquainted with them.
We have them all around us in the
country, and even in the more
quiet parts of the city, and yet not
one school child out of hundred
has ever seen one. Some mistake
a blue-jay for them, because it hap
pens to be blue, and besides that.
there is the indigo bunting which is
exactly the same size and blue all
over. So that after all you have to
know more about a bird than mere
ly it's most striking color. But it
surely is worth learning, to distin-
guish all these little feathered
friends; and when you once have
made their individual acquaintance.
you will find yourself member of
one of the best fraternities in the
whole world.

WEAR QUEER SHOES

In the northern part of England,
around Manchester, the children
wear the queerest kind of shoes
ever. They have leather tops. like
ours, but wooden soles, and they
are the heaviest, clumsy things you
can think of. They are called
"clogs" and when the children walk

can hear them coming for squares

shoes would last quite while, but

and SEVENTEEN BUCKS ALTO
With Number Of Other Cars Making
The Total Sales Without Precedent
One Shipment Had to Come by
Express, Owing to Scarcity Cars.

Last August Fry Bros. made a con-
tract with the Ford Automobile Co.
for one hundred and forty-four Ford
cars of different types to be taken up
within twelve months from date. Since
the closing of the contract up to the
present time they have taken up one
hundred and fifty cars, or six cars
more than they contracted for. They
have received fifty-nine of the number
since the first of April and 40 of the
SO this week.
In addition to handling this many
Fords, they have sold and delivered
within the time seventeen Bucks and
fifteen Overlands. Their last shipment
of cars coming in by express, owing
to the scarcity of box freight cars.
This enterprising concern have been
compelled to rent warehouses in which
to store their cars as they would come
in, so that they could be handled with
the proper dispatch, all of their big
garage space being taken up by their
renter customers.
In addition to doing theis enormous
sales business in automobiles, they
have a repair shop in which they en-
ploy seven mechanics, and their time
is kept we'll occupied all the time. A
Herald reporter called on Fry Bros.
late Friday Afternoon. and it was about
the busiest spot in the CITY, Both
telephones ringing almost constantly
and the personal callers almost in a
constant stream.
Carlton Fry, the senior member of
the firm, is of the opinion that they
will pass the two hundred mark on
Ford cars by the time their year Is
up, which is the first of next August,
and it looks reasonable to suppose
that the 200 mark will be passed, as
they have about a third of the time
left in which to make the sales.

most effective and loyal temperance
workers in the state. DR.. Care is a
finished and scholarly speaker and
held the close attention of his hearers.

gregation of the First Christian church
worshipped, because of repairs being
made on the church, Rev. G. NJ. Ham
