My Darling Little Mother:

we took. Talk about some trip
We left San Francisco March lst
and arrived here yesterday, the
10Th. We had a real smooth sea
on the Pacific coast, but as soon
as we were through the Panama
Canal and into the caribbean Sea,
it began to get rough and we be-
gan to 'heave.
We were on the water nine
days without seeing land, and
we were out the nine days before

was doing pretty well for my
first voyage. Gosh, | didn't
know that the land part of the
world was so small. | was sea
sick the first two days out of
Panama and that was all. The
ocean got more rough as we
went, but got used to it the
'llrst two days.
THE day after we arrived here,
my captain gave me a pass to
New York City, and j. b. and !
took in the sights of a great city.
We visited the polo grounds, the
National League base ball park
and many other places of inter-
est. We put in about an hour
looking at the large aquarium.
where it would seem that all
specimens of fish in the world
mingle together, and it surely is
an interesting sight. We also
saw the Statue of Liberty and
the highest building in the world
the Woolworth Building.
They say that we made Colon,
Panama our first stop, and re
mained over night at Norfolk,
Virginia from ten a. m. till ten
p. m. on the second stop. And
believe me, we were all glad to
set our feet back on soil again.
We came around on the L. S. s.

that we will go to France on the
same one.

Glen Miller Animals
Are Also Hot

Hot weather not only affects the
people of the city, but the animals
of Glen Miller as we'll.
The bears, with their great shay
gy coats probably suffer most All
day they lie in the water basins
that are in their cages, and their
long tongues often are hanging out
as they pant with the heat.
The red fox and the coyotes also
are lazy, and instead of running
back aud forth all day long, they
lie in one corner of their cages and
will not even pay attention to the
scraps of sandwiches which the
children threw in to them.
In the cage which was used for
the monkeys last summer there is
little white rabbit and a poll-pay-
rot on one side, and on the other
side of the double cage is a pair
of coons.
The only animals who do not
seem to mind the hot weather are
the squirrels and the alligators, for
the clipper little grey squirrels
frisk about all day long. and the
alligators delight in tropical wealth
err. They don't even stay in the
water, but get out onto the hot
cement itself and bask in the sun.
In the mornings and afternoons
the slide and swings are deserted,
as the SUN makes them too hot to
touch, but towards evening they
are swarmed with children.
But there is one part of the Glen
which is more popular in the heat
of the day than any other time, and
that is the cool little brook that
ripples along under the willow
trees in the front part of the park.
Two little children who were
wading along in the water, said
that the most fun is going through
the big brown tile culverts under
the roadway, because the water
feels SO funny gurgling over your
toes in there, and besides no mat
ter how hot it is outside, it always
is cool under there. They had
tried it.

Sunday school Boys
Become Officers

The First Presbyterian Junior
class of Sunday school has a good
way to get the children to get their
lessons.
For instance If you have your
lesson and the scripture verse you
are made corporal and given one
chevron the first Sunday. Then If
you have the last weeks lesson and
this weeks lesson with memory
verse and the verse you said last
Sunday you are made sergeant.
And every week it is the same
way, only when you get to be
top-sergeant or a lieutenant you
have to remember all the verses
You ever said.
To be a first lieutenant you have
to know the books of the Bible be
sides all the lessons and verses
you ever knew, and for colonel
you have to know some Psalms,

Heat Driues Ambitious
Students from West
Side Summer School

Hot weather was too severe even
for the ambitious boys and girls OF
West Richmond to continue their
summer school work. Eleven pu-
pills started in at the beginning Of
the summer session, and students
from Earlham college who are stu
dying to become teachers visited
the school.
The first part of the morning was
spent in playing and second part,
after recess, was in study.
School closed last Friday. The
following pupils had attended reg
ularly: DIESEL Gibbs, Thomas Mil
Ter, Wolferd Lance, Drema Gibbs
and Mildred Haas. Miss Ruth Hen
derson was in charge.

Odette Tells How
French Celebrated
the Fourth of July

Fourth of July is our holiday
as well as yaurs," writes Odette,
the little French orphan who was
adopted by the Junior Palladium a
year ago. A post card from her,
written July 8, came last Tuesday,
and in it she told how the Ameri-
can flag waved over their house all
that day. Also she spoke of all
the children in her little village
singing the French national hymn
to the American soldiers as they
go by.
She said she still was going to
school every day, and did not men,
ton a word about vacation.

5-Yem-Od Girl Does
Her Bit for Belgians

Not satisfied with having a good
time herself, little Barbara Bern
hart took her crayons and drew
several flowers on little cards,
which she sold, making twenty-five
cents for the "Belgiums," as she
said. This money was turned into
The general fund which the Com
mercial Club is keeping to send in
20 Major Osterreich, the Belgian
Military Minister, as soon as the
second flower sale is held.
Barbara also is very interested
in saving sugar, and every day or
so she looks anxiously into the
sugar bowl to see that not too
much has been used. Because"
she says you know We must
leave plenty for the 'Belgiums.'

Plenty of Teachers
for Schools This Year

Richmond schools begin Monday,
September 8, while the town and
township schools commence their
work a week earlier, September 2.
Although many of the men teach
ers have left for government serv-
ice, practically all the places have
been filed and no boy or girl needs
fear that they will have to have
vacation because no one can be
found to teach them.
The only places which were left
by Friday morning not filled were
the printing teacher for Garfield
and High School, and the science
teacher in high school.

Girl Scouts Help
Belgian Children

The Girl Scouts have turned in
their report of the money received
from the boxes which were put ont
for the benefit of the Belgians.
This was their first attempt to do
anything for the stricken peoples
across the sea. A like campaign
has been launched in several large
cities such as Boston and New
York.
The box which was placed in
Townsend's Candy Store contained
the most money, 1926 in all. The
amount cleared was $3246.

School Garden Notes

One of the greatest problems
that confronts the gardener is pro-
viding an ample supply Of water in
dry weather. This problem cannot
be overlooked as the growth of
crops depend upon the plant re-
ceiving an ample supply Of water
during the growing season. The
food the plant is to receive must be
in solution before it can be utilized.
The food cannot be in solution I'M
less the soil receives water natur-
ally or artificially. Placing water
upon the soil so as to aid the
growth of plants is called watering.
There are many different artifi-
cial plans of placing water upon
teal ones include the use of the
garden hose, tin cans, sub-irriga-
ton, the trench system and the
overhead sprinkling system. The
overhead sprinkling system is too
expensive for a small garden
When the garden hose is used for
watering, sprinkle thoroughly at
night
Cans are sometimes placed in
the hills of garden crops. This is
done by digging a hole the size
of the can in the hill before the
seed or plant is planted. Perforate
the can with nails SO that the water
will reach the soil Place the cans
in position and whenever the
ground becomes dry pour water
into the cans.
Sub-irrigation is probably the
best method of applying water. The
system is rather expensive but is
permanent. In this system, the
water reaches the roots from be-
low the surface. This plan prevents
the soil from baking. Trenches
are dug Is to "a inches deep and
three feet apart across the garden.
In these trenches drain tile or four
laths so nailed as as to form rect
angular tubes, are placed end to
end. At certain places these tile
or lath tubes are brought to the sur
face. Water is placed into these
tile or tubes by means of garden
hose. 1t reaches the soil by es-
Gaping between the ends of the tile
or by leaking through the lath
tubes. After reaching the soil it
climbs toward the surface and is
taken up by the roots of plants.
In the trench system trenches
should be dug close enough to the
rows so that the water will serve
the plants and yet so the trenches
will not disturb the roots. With a
hose, water may be run into the
trenches often as needed. This is
the best system for amateurs to
use since the water is below the
roots and insures a deep root sys-
TEN. The trenches should be COW
cred after watering.
No matter what system is used
cultivation should follow as soon as
possible after the water has been
applied. This will produce a dust
mulch and retain the moisture in
the soil.
Vegetable and fruit Feelings and
other by-prOducts may be fed to
chickens. Root crops not suitable
for table use may be fed to rabbits.
All the vegetable and fruit waste
should be placed back upon the soil.
When this is done dig trenches ten
to twelve inches deep. Place the
waste into these trenches and cover
with earth. The decay of these
by-products will aid in improving
the soil.
