WE THANK OUR LOYAL FRIENDS.

Ii is with the greatest reluctance
that The Times-Recorder has had to
ask its readers for forbeardnce while
mechanical troubles, vital to the pro-
ductiOn OF a good newspaper, We're
being Strengthened out in it's plant.
The ruuders-our friends, everyone of
them-have responded in 4 manner
more generous than could have been
hoped for, and the management Of
the Tlmes-Recorder wishes to go on
record before each one as genuinely
thankful and appreciative OF that
spirit. and to renew the promise, prov
iously made. of soon having things in
order and ready to produce the kind
of a newspaper Americas wants and
is entitled to.
Difficulties-more than battling al
times-have been met when least eX-
pected. but these are rapidly disap-
pearing. J B. Freeman, chief machin-
list of the Atlanta Journal, one Of
the most capable experts in the South,
has been for two days rebuilding The
Times Recorders linotype machine.
Another day probably will see that
task complete, and more readable
newspaper. with material decrease
IN typographical errors, should be the
immediate result. While this prob
lem is being met we have been forced
to do with a very limited amount OF
type daily. which has been obtained
through the generous spirit of CO.
operation of Mr.. Clarence A. Ames.
of the Southern Printers. whose plant
has been placed at the disposal Of
The Times Recorder.
To many FRIENDS. eager TO assist N

Hoping to see you soon: lots Of love
from Marion and George"
Grandma Hill read Marion's letter
twice and decided she would 60.
Two weeks later found Mrs. Hill in
Marion's home; she was made very
welcome. Marion and her husband
seemed to be very happy. After she
had been there some weeks she over
heard them anxiously talking about a
debt. They did not know that she
could hear them. Then evening came.
Nov is the time," she said, and as
they sat in the sitting room that eve
ming she arose and started to 60 up
stairs.
you're not going to bed so early,
are you, grandmaT inquired Marion.
II was going to read you story from
the new magazine that came today"
II will be back in a few minutes"
replied grandma, and when she did
come back she was carrying a large
safety box. She sat down by the table
near Marion and opened it.
"Why, Grandma Hill, where did you
get all Of that money!" exclaimed
Marion.
"Count It," answered grandma.
"Four thousand dollars !" cried Mar
ion. "Why, grandma, didn't you lose
your money when the bank ailed7"
NO." replied grandma. rather hap
PLY, land 1t is all yours now. You
have given me love In place Of it, and
perhaps would have not had either

Then she told them of her dream
and they both assured her she would
never be lonely again and that worri-
some debt was paid too.

Indian Names.

The Indians up in the far North
country call the beaver ah-mick, says
Dan Beard in Boys Life, the boy
scouts magazine. By the way, when
boy scouts lay out their councn
grounds at camp and divide it up as it
should be, according to the north,
south, east and west winds around
the circle, they should remember thai
the Indian name for north is Quiewed-
nong, for south is ShOw-nein-nong, for
east is Waba-nong, and for west is
Gabie-a-nong.
Now, you know the Indian ceremony
always begins with blowing the smoke
Of the pipe to the four winds, and
then to the sky, which is O'quie, and
then to the earth, which is A'kee, and
the warrior lights his pipe with SkOO-
day, that is, with fire, but if he is tow
neeke with the SkoO-day he starts a
forest fire (tow-neeke means care
less).
To be a good scout, one must never
be tow-neeke; to be patriotic one must
never be tOw-neeke.

TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS AT NIGHT
Handicaps of Fog and Darkness Have
Been Overcome by Development
Of New Process.

Neither fog nor darkness handicaps
the supereyes Of the war department
signal corps cameras, according to
Edward Hungerford, who describes
the remarkable progress Of wartime
aerial photography in Everybody's.
He gives some interesting examples:
II have seen photograph Of a wan
ing moon over ROme-taken by the
new process. It is the first real pic
ture Of the moon that have ever seen,
although I formerly attempted the
thing myself. Most of the moonlight
pictures that one sees are fakes
made by photographing the sun in
various unusual and artistic phases.
But this was real. One could see the
tiny pools of water standing in the
uneven places Of the tagging, the
Pickering street lamps at the corner. A
picture whose reality almost makes it
uncanny. And the photographer who
took the picture in the rain was ar
rested by a gendarme as being mental
ly unsound. He was only released
when he took picture Of the lieuten-
ant at the police station and proved
beyond question that he could make
good portraits by artificial light.
II have seen photographs made by
this new process from the front row Of
theater balcony during the progress
Of the play; others made in church
during vespers and illumined entirely
by the candles upon the high altar.
The process is very new and it is very
wonderful. Moreover, 1t is susceptible
of adaptation to night observation,
both from airplanes and upon the
land"

INSECT PRODUCTS OF VALUE
Many Small Creatures Make Contrlbu-
lions to the Country's Wealth Of
No insignificant Amount.

We have many insect products Of no
small value. Most familiar are honey
and wax from the bee.
There is also Chinese bug which
secretes kind Of grease on various
trees. This hardens into wax, and is
collected. melted and purified, when 1t
becomes white and glossy in appear
ance, and when mixed with Oil can be
made into candles. The cochineal, q
scale insect living on cacti in the Amer
lean tropics, besides having medicinal
qualities, yields the two dyes called
carmine and lake. While nowadays
most dyes are chemically made, the
natural dye Of the cochineal is en-
ployed In coloring soldiers uniforms,
as 1t stands the weather better than
commercial dyes. The pupae Of Mex
lean black fly which swarms in great
quantities near Lake TexcOa are used
as fertilizer. No enlargement Is need
ed on the work of the precious silk
worm-a native Of China which is now
raised here also. Commercial shellac
is obtained by melting lac, the resinous
substance produced by an East Indian
scale insect and deposited in a crust
on twigs to contain the insect and its
eggs. The export value Of lac from
Indian ports in one year has risen as
high as 32,0OO,OOC rupees. Lac has also
been used to make dyes, but while the
lac industry is growing one, the en-
ployment of lac in making dyes has
probably had it's day. The best lac is
obtained from Bengal and the central
province of India. 1t is also used as
stifening for hats, sealing wax. as an
Ingredient of photographic ink, in cleo
trical work and In the manufacture Of
gramOphone records.

time in the history Of our race, the
enemy is held. At the end Of four
