DEPOSIT OF P0TTER'S CLAY
APPEARS IN OLD 0REANA

Steve Morse arrived in Humboldt
Monday with the F. j. Frey freighting
outfit and has gone to the Pitt-Walker
property in American canyon, from
which place he will haul kaoline (pot-
ter's clay) to this station for ship
ment
1t is stated that these gentlemen
have opened up very extensive and
valuable deposit of this material upon
their property at the head of Ameri-
can canyon and have contracted TO
deliver for shipment one hundred
tons per month for twelve months, or
twelve hundred tons, from this point.
This is in close proximity to the
cinnebar ledge which was worked by
these gentlemen some few years ago,
the white dump at that mine being
some of the deposit. Thorough tests
of the material have been made by
the parties who are contracting for
this product, and it has been pro-
nounced excellent.
So another natural resource OF this
section is to be developed and more
money expended in mining, freighting
and shipping this material from Ore

orioin Of Man in the Moon.

There is a quaint tradition about
how the belief in the man in the
moon originated. Like many of these
beliefs, it began In Bible times. By
many nations the old man is supposed
to be the one who first made his ap-
pearance in the book of Numbers (15:
32). It is there stated that he was
found by the children Of Israel gath
ering sticks on the Sabbath day. He
was taken before Moses and con-
demned and was stoned until he died.
One would have thought that that
was punishment enough even for SO
awful a crime, but superstition took
him in hand and consigned him to the
moon, where, with a bunch Of sticks
on his tired old back, he was des-
tined 10 climb forever up the shining
hill and never reach the top. The
story goes that his faithful dogs were
permitted to share his fate and, If
you look carefully when the night is
clear, you will see them toiling away
upon their endless chain.

THE SCOUTS RELIGION.

The Boy Scouts of America main
tain that no boy can grow into the
best kind of man without recognizing
his obligation to God. The first part
Of the scouts oath or pledge is, ION
my honor 1 will do my best to do my
duty to God and my country" The
recognition of God as the creating and
ruling power of the universe and the
grateful acknowledgment of his guild
ance is held to be necessary in direct
ing the growing boy toward the best
type of American citizenship.
The boy scout movement, however,
Is non-sectarian in it's attitude toward
religion. Its policy is that the religious
organization or institution with which
the boy scout is connected shall give
the needed attention to his spiritual
life. If he be Catholic, the Catholic
church should be the agency for his
religious training. If he be Hebrew,
then the synagogue will teach him the
faith of his fathers. If he be Protes-
tant, the church of which he is an adj
herent is the proper organization to
give him an understanding of the
things that pertain to his allegiance to
God.
