The first Grand Council Meeting

About seventy were in the long
ines which filed into the hall to an
indian march, and passing down
he aisles through the audience,
ormed the camp circle with half

Caroline Smith and Bessie Bull
The second part of the entertain

the Richmond Camps, which Miss
elizabeth Morris had written. after
which Miss Caroline Smith sang
'wo selections and Miss Janet
Seeker gave two original dances.
all of which the audience received
very enthusiastically.
But the greatest success Of the
evening was the clever little play
which the CenterviIle girls pre-
sented at the end of the program
1t was most complicated series
Of mistakes. and the audience was
kept laughing from the time the
Hrtain rose until the final scene.

The Bony Hand

Fat clinched my arm, for after
a moment the bony hand with it's
nnger pointing straight at us,
moved nearer. scringed little
towards another door that l saw,
trying to get as far as possible from
that terrible thing.
AS the hand drew nearer, I
moved towards door but not the
one at which we had come in (for
the hallway seemed full of doors)
and although moved swiftly, drag
ging Fat after me, the hand moved
still faster. 1t came nearer and
nearer, until it touched my face.
My heart was pounding like a
boiler-maker's sledge Fearing to
turn to look where I was going, l
felt for the door knob, but to my
horror, the door was open
AS we passed through the open
door, the hand disappeared, but the
door slammed shut instantly
Making sure that the hand had
not followed us, we looked around.
The room perhaps was ten by
twenty-six and had a very high
ceiling. All that was visible was
two chairs and a small table.
Standing as we were, shivering
as though half frozen, we gradual
ly became aware Of water dripping.
1t sounded below US, like water
trickling in a well
Fat and I looked at each other
with a look that showed what we
had been suffering
"Our troubles are over, I hope,
and now lets sit"
But just then the floor seemed
to give way beneath us. We fell
about ten feet, landing on sort
of island surrounded by water, but
we were not in the least hurt.
Looking up we could see no place
we had fallen through. 1t seemed
to be a solid mass of flooring. Then
we looked down, and were startled
to see the water coming closer in
on us. (To be Continued)

A certain poor nervous Mr.. HOODS
was conducted to Mrs. Quigg's sum-
mer cottage instead of Mrs. Twigg's
and when asked If he was Mr..
Hobson. he said: "Yes, I'm Hobbs
SON." Immediately all the summer
boarders began huzzahing and
waving flags, thinking he was the
hero of Santiago. One thing led
to another, until when Sophie, Mrs.
Hobbs, finally came in searching
for her poor husband, she found
him surrounded by women who
were forcing him to eat onions and
fish balls for his health. This
was almost the climax, especially
when the real Mr.. Hobson walked
In.
All the parts were taken with the
greatest spirit and life, and the
girls deserve great credit for the
production, especially when they
had the responsibility of hostess
ship at the same time.
In the short business meeting
which was held, a permanent
Wayne county organization was
made. with Mrs. Horace Whiteside
as Head Guardian and Miss Edith
Haworth Secretary. Probably the
next grand council will be held In
Richmond at Christmas time.

Why Does Not Commerce Flourish
On Our Inland Waterways?

The rivers and harbors bill which has

appropriates over $37 100000. Herbert
Quick, writing to The Journal, says:
believe in the development OF our IN
land waterways. [ have written books IN
advocacy of their development. | believe
that our system of transportation will new
er be complete until every river capable OF
being made navigable shall have been I'M
proved.
believe the Missouri should be con-
trolled and made nayigable to Fort Ben
ton. and probably far beyond, that the Co
lumbia should be made navigable far up
into the mountains toward its sources,
that the Atlantic and Gulf rivers, the
great tributaries of the Mississippi, the
Father of Waters itself. the Ohio and its
tributaries must eventually be so inn
proved as to carry the heavy, slow freight
which is now breaking the backs of the
railways and causing our freight block
AIDES, our car shortages and our embar-
goes.
The present freight situation proves
conclusively the necessity of developing
our water traffic.
But am opposed to this bill. am OPP
posed to the passage Of any rivers and har-
bors bill which carries a cent more than is
necessary to promote commerce IN waters
which now accommodate large traffic
am opposed to the development of our
inland rivers until we find why commerce
does not spring up and flourish on the
rivers we have already improved
The senate should trim the bill remorse-
lcssly It should be stripped of every item
which is not based on present necessities
The future should not be considered, until
we have solved the futures problem.
So long as the improvement Of stream
or harbor doesn't stimulate a paying

Vast Resources of The
Banks of United States

The statement just made by the United
States Comptroller of the currency regard
ing the financial condition of America is
arresting in its significance. 1t brings out
these amazing facts:
The total resources of our national
banks amount to 1886, 100000 which
constitutes an increase of $2,271 900 600
or twenty per cent-within the year.
The increase in resources within the last
II months alone, says Comptroller Viii
liams, exceeds the entire resources of the
Reichsbank of Germany; and the aggre-
gate resources of American national banks
exceed $3,Ooo,OO0,OOo the aggregate re-
sources of the Bank of England the Bank
Of France. the Bank of Russia, the Reichs-
bank of Germany, the Bank of Neither
lands, the Swiss National Bank and the

No Political significance-

Do you remember a year ago, when
William Hale Thompson was elected
mayor of Chicago, how the republican
newspapers announced that it was the
beginning of the end of the democrat
ic national administration The demo-
Gratis carried only seven wards in that
election. Well, Chicago has just had
another, in which the democrats car
ried 21 wards instead of seven, and
in spite of the large number of re-
publican hofd-over aldermen, the dem
ocrats came within four wards of con-
trolling the city council. AS was to
be expected, we are now soIemnly as
sured by the same organs that exulted
so vociferously a year ago that the
present election has absolutely no ma
tional political Significance. Tavares

How Reclamation Settlers
Experiment In Cooperation

How enterpT1S1ng settlers on one or
Uncle Sans reclamation projects, with
the assistance of the United States forest
service, have reduced the cost of milled
lumber from S25 thousand feet to $3.50,
and have at the same time paid the cost OF
installing their cooperative sawmill, is
told in reports reaching the reclamation
service in Washington.
The settlers on the Teton unit of the
Yakima irrigation project, in Washington
state found that they had to pay from $50
to S25 a thousand for lumber to put UP
their houses and buildings. The Tieton
unit is six miles away from the Rainier ma
tional forest, and the settlers decided to
furnish lumber to themselves at cost.
In March, 1915, they organized a com
pany with 200 shares of capital stock of
the par value of $40 EACH Five hundred
and fifty dollars was paid in, and saw
mill outfit was purchased. Among the set
tiers was found man who had some ex-
perience as a sawyer, and he was placed in
charge of operations. Saving was COM
menced last September. With three men
on the job they were able to turn out from
5000 to 1000 feet of rough lumber day
The mill is located on government land
leased to the settlers for a term of years,
and the price charged by the forest service
for the logs is only so cents thousand.
The farmers cut and skid the logs in sum-
mer, and in the winter, when there is moth
ing else to do, they haul them to the mill,
and when notified come to the mill, place
them on the skidWay, and take the lumber
away as fast as it is sawed
The leading spirit in the enterprise is H.
L. Hull, one of the settlers, who has re-
ported on the project to the reclamation
service officials.
"The remarkable feature of the
scheme" says Hull, ''is that it benefits the
one who most needs it. The well-to-do
rancher is conspicuous by his absence, and
the one under greatest financial stress is
the best booster
"This again illustrates the principle that
the best cooperative effort comes from
conditions of necessity"
The mill will not only save thousands of
dollars in cash to the settlers in cost of
lumber, but indirectly it will enable them
to save other thousands through proper
storage facilities for hay and stock, by get
ting cheap lumber to protect them
All the money spent for saving logs re
mains In the community, and the farmer
who has no money to pay for saving pays
for it by saving for others.

Big Lesson to Be Learned
From Events In Mexico

No intelligent American citizen looked
upon the pursuit of Villa as a game. It
had to be undertaken with an army be-
cause so far in the experience of man there
is no other way of obtaining justice be-
tween nations unless demands are backed
up by showing of armed force.
No loyal American citizen wants a war
with Mexico.
Every thinking citizen is anxious to keep
this country at peace with every nation on
the face of the earth
And every man with conscience, by
sane talk with other men, will do his best
to help the president maintain peace in the
present Mexican difficulty.
But-every man of sense must learn a
big lesson in preparedness from present
events.
So long as nothing can Danish war from
the world, there is no choice whatever
about getting ready for it. The only choice
is in the ways of preparing for national de-
tense

Republican Postmaster

hepuDHcan POstmaster -
1t has been 20 years since a demo-
cratic president has had the privilege
of appointing democratic postmas-
ter at Andalusia. President Wilson
would have named democrat for this
position three months ago if Congress
man Dent would have made a recon-
mendation. Mr.. Dent never gets tired
of keeping republicans in office, if BY
doing so, he thinks he can use the
democratic applicants and their
friends to help him in his fight for a
nomination. This was his policy in
Troy and in Georgiana two years ago.
