Crows are wise old birds; especial
ly do they exhibit this trait in win
ter when provender is scarce. Out
on the Wallace Steele farm, operat-
ed by Samuel Rowland, are shocks
of corn that have not been husked,
or numerous stalks are still carrying
ears of corn. Daily immense hocks
of crows are to be seen flying toward
that land of golden grain, and feed
ing on the Promised Land. One
good citizen who likes to lift her
eyes toward the vaulted heavens
has counted over 1000 of these birds
as down the line they come. With
corn bringing over one dollar a
bushel one would be almost tempted
to take a Sunday off.
Miss Margaret Holt and Miss
Edna Orr are on the sick list.

OATMEAL CLUB GETS
GOOD START IN LIFE

At preliminary meeting held several
mites ago at the Rust place the Oatmeal
club, one of the newest of Nenana' $ social
organizations, was successfully launched
upon a career which gives every promise
of success. The club is indebted to Cliff
Starritt, the cartoonist, tor Transportation
and name, for it was thru his portrayal
of Polly and Her Pals" that the idea of
the club was born. On one of his eXpe-
ditions Polly's Pa endeavored to make a
string of nlalamutes mush by telling them
to oatmeal" and as hiking, or muslling
is the main idea of the club the members
were quick to see the novelty and posi-
bilities of the name. "A considerable de-
gree of interest has already been aroused
and many new members are about to be
taken into the club. The officers an
nounce that the degree team is rounding
into shape rapidly, and some very clever
work may be expected of it at future
initiatory ceremonies. The club proposes
to stage number of excursions and pic
MICS this summer, besides other stunts of
a novel character. The club motto is:
''If you like to mush join the oatmeal
club"

The five-reel Metro feature, The Flan-

The story deals with the career of a
Young and profigate college graduate.
who after dissipating his fortune, tires of
the slans of so-called society and re-
solves to end his life. He drifts to sea
IN a small boat and is cast ashore on a
lonely and barren reef, the only inhabit-
of which are an old lighthouse tender
aud his daughter. The strangers exper-
fences in the new environment show very
vividlv how the dross of artihcial,ty can
be cast out and the finer and nobler quail
tiles of true manhood developed by the
searching flame of pure love, and the
picture comes to an end to the utmost
satisfaction of all concerned. The usual
feature prices will prevail.
