THE BOY THAT WAS

When the hair about the temples starts
to show the signs of gray,
And a fellow realizes that he's wander
ing far away
From the pleasures Of his boyhood and
his youth and never more
VIII know the JOY of laughter as he did
In years of yore,
Oh, it's then he starts to thinking Of q
stubby little lad
With a face as brown as berries and q
soul supremely glad.
When a gray-haired dreamer wanders
down the lanes of memory
And forgets the living present for the
time Of ''used-to-be;"
He takes off his shoes and stockings, and
he throws his coat away,
And he's free from all restrictions save
the rules OF manly play.
He may be in tattered garments, but
bareheaded in the sun.
He forgets his proud successes and the
riches he has won.
Oh, there's not a man that liveth but
would give his all to be
The stubby little fellow that in dream
land he can see.
And the splendors that surround him and
the Joys about him spread
Only seem to rise to haunt him with the
boyE0od that LAS fled.
When the hair about the temples starts
to show Times silver stain,
Then the richest mans that living yearns
to be a boy again.

Printing of Fabrics by
Peruvians Similar to the
Method Still Being Used

The ancients of Peru, by a curious
cOincidence-for there could not possi
bly, have been any intercourse with
their contemporaries i'm India and
Egypt-Seem to have used much the
same kind of processes in printing
their designs upon the fabrics they
manufactured. Both Herodotus and
Pliny, among early historians, accord
ing to United States commerce
report, have told us about the cloths
of vegetable fiber made by the an
clients; but in all likelihood the fab
RIGS of the Peruvians were of even a
more remote date. In some respects
the methods of today bear strong re-
Semblance to the older practice. The
chief difference consists in the pat
terms now being engraved upon copper
rollers and several colors being print
ed at one time. Just as today the
coloring matter of dyes is not affixed
by merely printing it on the material,
but is secured by means of a sub
stance known as mOrdant, so did The
q u'iaHS Hldhe use OI property
which caused the dye to adhere and
TO Withstand test of thousands of
years wear and tear. Experts have
declared that in the direction of tech
nical and artistic value the designs
in question have no equal. They
must undoubtedly have been wholly
original. and could have owed their
inception to no outside influences.

As the Earth's Human Race
Advances 1t Also Develops

Man has been on the earth perhaps
some twenty odd thousand years, and
it is only the last 5000 that we are
much concerned with. To suppose
that modern Englishman must nee
essarily be at a higher stage of mental
development than an ancient Greek is
almost the same mistake as TO argue
that Browning must be better poet
than Wordsworth because he came
later. If the soul, or the brain, of
man is developing. ii is not developing
so fast or so steadily as all that.

Letters on Submarines.

The letters used On United States
submarines designate their type of
construction, and run through the al
phabet. Submarines of the earlier
types are designated by the first let
ters of the alphabet and those of later
type by letters further along. Indi-
vidual submarines are designated by
numbers. Thus the designation N3
means certain submarine of the N
type.

scarce, but it looks as tho it were try

half the population is in bed. However,
the disease seems to have a mild form
here, possibly due to our fine climate,

date. The schools closed Tuesday for
an indefinite period, as so few pupils
were in attendance that it did not pay
to keep the teachers and the bus driv-

The attendance at the second Lyce-

are ill and that others do not care to
take the chance of attending any pub
lie gatherings at this time. However,

WILBUR ADKINS J.
SEES REAL FIGHTING
Richland Boy Has been INDUCING
in Pastime of Shooting Huns
E~r from Airplane

Mr.. and Mrs. H. o. Adkins are in
receipt of letters from their son Will
bur, which give great deal of light
on the work which this popular boy
has been doing since he entered the
air service at the beginning of the war.
Heretofore, in his letters, in order to
relieve the minds of his parents of
anxiety as to his safety, he has been
camouflaging his news, stating that
he was at work back of the lines, but
he now admits that he has a confession
to make as to his actual part in win
ming the war. f. $500.
Instead of becoming an air pilot as
had been his first intention Wilbur
has been first class ariel gunner, one
of the most hazardous positions in
modern warfare. He states that the
average life of men in this branch of
the service is seven days and then
states that he put in five days { this
at stretch, making nine trips Ier
the lines into hun territory. b.
On October 18th his machine started
over the line and when well within
the enemy's territory the engine began
to buck and it was plainly seen that
unless the machine was returned to
it's own lines without delay the en-
CINE would go dead and the fate of the
occupants foregone conclusion.
In a race with death the machine
was finally driven over the American
lines where it rapidly fell to the earth
breaking its fall in a tree. Wilbur
suffered broken rib, arm and had
his face badly burned by gas and has
been confined to the hospital for some
time, but is now well on the road to
recovery. He has been promoted to
the rating Of first class sergeant and
that when he comes home he will have
experiences to relate which will take
weeks to recount. He also states that
for several weeks he was instructor
in ariel gunnery before leaving Eng
land for the front. He expects to be
home in Richland some time in March.

known business men in this end of the
county, is confined to his bed by a
slight stroke of paralysis. Under the
doctors care it is hoped that he will

partial and paralysis does not seem to
be spreading. During his enforced
