What Happened at a
Halloween Party

Last Halloween 7 went to Hal.
loWeen party at the neighbors.' We
bobbed apples, and one little girl
couldn't get any apple bobbing, so
she put her hand in and got one
and put it in her mouth.
We picked up beans with tooth
picks, then we would put them in
sidedishs; some of the girls only
got five and others got thirty and
forty. Then we picked up apples
with spoons.
And we children were seated on
the floor, and ate our supper in pic
mic style. We got prizes if we got
an apple in bobbing apples, and If
we could catch a doughnut In our
mouths, hanging ON string.

Finley School Has
Halloween Party

After school on Wednesday aft
ernoon the boys and girls of Finley
school had a Halloween party In
the kindergarten room. Some of
the boys had on Indian suits, and
all the children had false faces, so
that they had lots of fun.
For the lunch, all the children
were supposed to bring an apple or
something, and then put everything
together. The rooms were all dec
Grated In Halloween colors, with
Jack-o- lanterns and pumpkins
around, and the party was one of
the most successful ones ever held
in that school.

TOTS EXPERIENCE

Tot was at his grandmOther's
house one summer morning He
went out on the doorstep and be
gan looking at his little red stock
ings. His name was not really Tot,
but Charles Henry Augustus, a
very long name for such a very lit
tie boy. &
The reason that he had such a
long name was this. When he was
baby he had two grandfathers
and an uncle who each wanted him
named for himself His father and
mother named him for all three,
but everybody called him Tot
At last he grew tired looking at
his stockings and began to sing.
Tot thought he could sing; no one
else thought so.
After little while he went to
the barnyard. There were plenty
of ducks and geese around, besides
chickens and turkeys. Tot always
liked to look at them. He liked
one old turkey gobbler best of all,
But Mr.. Gobbler did not like Tots
red stockings. AS soon as he saw
them he began ruffling up his
feathers and with a fierce gobble
flew at them.
This took Tot so by surprise that
he fell over backwards, with his
head In the chickens water-pan
and his feet In the air. How he did
scream!
His grandmother heard him in
the kitchen. His aunt in the par
lor. His mother In her room. She
ran down to the barn-yard.
Nobody knew what had happened
or where Tot was. His mother
ran to the barn-yard. the Others ran
after her. There they found poor
Tot on his back, screaming with
all OF his might. All the geese and
chickens were making a great
noise. The old gobbler was just
ready to make another attack. Aunt
Mary seized an old broom and
drove away the turkey. Aunt Kate
stopped her ears with her fingers,
to keep the noise out. Grandma did
nothing; but Tots mother picked
him up and took him to the house.
After he was washed and com
forted, his mother asked him why
he went to the barn-yard. Tot said
nothing because he had no reason.
So that surely taught him lesson.

HOW HELEN SPENT DAY

Once upon a time there was
little girl named Helen. She was
seven years old. Helen was very
good little girl. She had brown
hair and Zig brown eyes.
One day Helen took her lunch
and went into the woods. She was
picking flowers when a little
man came up and said, Il am so
hungry. Will you give me some OF
that food?"
Helen gsye him all she had and
he went off eating her lunch. Then
as the day passed she grew hun
cry. so she started home, and as
she was going a fairy walked up
to her and said, "You have been
good girl all day SO you can go
home with me-"
The fairy took Helen to a tree
which had a door in it. She UNI
locked the door and led Helen in
a room where some fairies were
dancing and singing.
The fairies were so glad to see
real brown haired girl that they
asked her to be their queen. So
Helen became Fairy Queen and
lived happily with the fairies ever
after. 80 Deloris Bunk, Warner

NEW GAME AT FINLEY

The boys at Finley school have
invented new game, which might
be called the Riders" game. Any
number OF boys may play, and play
as long as they want to. because
there really is no end to the game.
The boys are divided into two
sides, the White Riders and the
Black Riders, each side having a
prison where they try to put their
enemies" and after they get their
captives in the prison the game
continues by the successful Riders
trying to keep their prisoners in.
The game is SO popular that the
boys play II all the time.

SHIP-BUILDING
CALLS FOR LABOR
More Ships to Transport Men,
Munitions and Supplies is
Our Greatest Need.

The Secretary Of the State Editorial
Association of Portland, Oregon, in
forms us that Oregon's effort to do
her part in the building Of steel and
wooden ships for the war is seriously
crippled through lack of labor.
Latest authentic information gath
cred points to the necessity of en-
ploying at once nearly 10000 men in
the shipbuilding business at Portland
and between two and three thousand
in the yards outside.
With contracts already let and GER
tain to be placed in the near future,
it is stated by the shipbuilders that
from 10000 to $4,000 men should be
employed by the close of this year,
or early next year. The work is on
hand to give this employment and the
demand for ships is growing greater
every day.
The development of an industry of
this magnitude so suddenly has re-
suited in drawing practically all of the
available men within immediate reach,
and already the shipbuilders of the
state are urging laborers from all
parts of the West to take positions
in their plants.
Appeals are coming from national
officials and all the leading business
men of the East for all seaboard states
to concentrate their supreme energies
upon the program of building ships.
This is declared to be the greatest
duty confronting the nation today and
on every hand it is admitted frankly,
despite the optimistic statments made
of the position of the allied forces,
that unless ships are built by Amer
lea at pace absolutely beyond the
present program the effectiveness of
the United States in the European
War will be largely reduced. Ger
many is counting implicitly upon de-
stroying more ships than are built to
prevent America from participating
extensively in the war. The subma-
rine program is making more rapid
progress than the shipbuilding pro-
gram. For these reasons the Federal
| government is putting the building of
ships as the primary patriotic duty of
the people of the country, and urging
every person who can aid in the work
to take it up with as much reverence
and as much sense Of duty as if they
were enlisting in the army.
Americas food, munitions, arms and
men cannot reach Europe without an
adequate supply Of ships. Best author
tiles declare these should be built of
steel and wood as rapidly as the forces
of the country can be marshalled for
the work.
In the emergency every man who
has any mechanical or artisan skill
whatever is being adapted to some
part of ship construction, wherever
he desires to work. 1t has been nee
essary to teach labor to do classes Of
work it has never undertaken before
All the facilities for such instruction
are being provided by the ship yards,
the government, and state, and men
are having an opportunity to take up
lines of employment never presented
before at the best wages that have
been known in the Pacific Northwest
and perhaps the country.
