names of Wilson and Adair and
Hughes and Goodrich on the board
and put slip of paper on each of
our desks and we were to write who
we wanted for president and gov
ernor on them. Then we handed
the slips in and Miss Veal appoint
ed Ralph Kennedy to keep track
OF the Democrat votes and Herb
ert Beard to keep track Of the Re-
publican votes. When we had
counted the votes there were
eighteen for Wilson, fourteen for
Adair, twenty-four for Hughes and
twenty-five for Goodrich so the
Republicans got the most votes.

Camp Fire Girls
Visit a Friend

On Halloween evening a group
Of eight or nine "Kingolo Camp
Fire Girls" of Economy, and four
Bluebirds masked and met at the
home of our guardian, Miss Jes-
sic Secrest and Miss Pusey. From
there we went on a hike a mile and
a half north Of town to a girl friend
of ours who has been absent from
school two months with a bad case
of paralysis.
We arrived about five o'clock
Before going in we gave two or
three camp fire yells, giving her an
idea of who her company was to be.
After guessing for about half
hour, she guessed who we were and
then we started for town giving our
yells as we neared the farm houses.
After returning to town about
dusk we visited the stores. About
that time we were getting hungry
so we went to Miss Jessie's where
we fried weenies and made sand
wiches out of them later eating
them and some pickles for an ap-
petizer.
After supper we remasked and
paid our respects to the residents
of the town and at about half past
eight tired but happy lot Of girls
parted for home.

A GHOST STORY

Once upon a time there lived an
old miser. One night an old man
asked him to let him have some
thing to eat and something to
sleep in. So the old man went to
sleep. While he was asleep the old
man thought how to kill him. So
he went down to get an axe. While
the old man was asleep the old
miser cut the old mans head off.
He went and dug hole to put him
in. So one night when he was
asleep he heard a noise and he
looked and saw that arm. So he
looked again and the arm grabbed
him. And that Is the last Of my
story.

gauge railroad extending westward
from the town of Patterson.
Much Tributary Tonnage. -
The railroad will be operated under
the name of the Patterson and West.
ern Railroad Company. This road is
constructed primarily for the purpose
of affording means of transportation
for it's own minerals, but in addition
to this there are tributary to the line
the magnesite deposits of the West
ern Magnesite Company, described in
the latest edition of the Encyclopaedia
Americana as the largest in the
world. There are also large quick.
silver mines now in active operation.
The plans of the company include
the construction of extensive manu-
featuring plants at Patterson, Cal,
for the manufacture of the products
described above. The first plant, now
in course of construction, is for the
manufacture of dioxide of manganese
and EPSON salts. These products are
now commanding tremendously high
prices because their present sources
CT supply are cut off by the war. Here.
tofore they have been furnished to
the United States almost exclusively
from foreign countries. ~ IL
Some idea of the possibilities before
this company may be gained from
the fact that the area controlled by
it lies within belt which produces
all the commercial minerals above
referred to in larger quantity and
greater purity than anywhere else
| on this coast, if not in the whole
world. The operations of this com.
pany will supply the United States
with materials hitherto almost eM
clusively imported from Europe, and
will not only supply local demands.
but in the process of development, will
supply a large export trade.

The management of the post ex-

erect a building in the cantonment to
be used as a restaurant Already
there is a restaurant in the main post
run by the post exchange, but due to
the large increase in business 1t be-
came necessary to have another and,
as the majority of the garrison is in
the cantonment it was thought best to
erect it there. The building will be
20x60 feet and will be under the man.
agement of H. Oshikawa, who also is
manager of the one in the main post.
