The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1918-06-08

One day a man and a boy were
seen walking along in the suburbs
of large manufacturing city.
They stopped at the house of a
large manufacturer and asked for
work in order that they might get
something to eat. The maid who
opened the door slammed it shut
and went about her work mumbling
something about being bothered by
tramps.
The two went out of the yard and
across the street to another house
and were chased out by dog.
They went on stopping at each
house asking for work. Finally
they went to g house in an old sec
ton of the city, where an old couple
lived. The old lady took them in
and fed them. While they were eat
ing the woman asked them to tell
her how they became beggars.
They told her that the man had
been a foreman in a manufacturing
place in Chicago. Three hundred
dollars disappeared from the de-
partment and he was accused OF
stealing it. He had saved two hun
dred and seventy-five dollars. The
company asked him to give two
hundred dollars and, to avoid law
suit he fOolishly gave it.
He went out to look for work but
his reputation was known to all the
manufacturing men and he could
secure no work. The little money
he had left soon gave out and he
had to beg for food. They had been
turned out Of every place. The old
man also added that the boys moth.
err had died when he was a baby.
The man that owned the house
had influence in a certain manufac-
turing place in that city, and after
hearing the mans story he wrote a
letter of recommendation to the fac
tory
He then asked the mans name
and learned that it was James
Wells and that the boys was Ken
meth Wells.
James Wells thanked the man
many times and when he and his
son were ready to go Mr.. Blake (for
that was the name of the man who
owned the housed, slipped some
thing into Kenneth's hand. When
he was outside Kenneth looked Mt
the thing that had been placed IN
his hand and found that 1t was a
fifty dollar bill.

Look father, cried the excited
boy, see what Mr. Blake gave me
You take it, might lose it,
They went to the factory that
! MT Blake had directed them.
James secured a job as black
! smith and Kenneth as an errand
boy. They left the factory very
! happy and went to look for house.
They found one near the home of
| Mr. Blake.
Kenneth said that he would pay
back to Mr.. Blair the fifty dollars
| that he had given him. He kept
his work for he took two dollars
out of his wages every week and
put it away for Mr.. Blake, the rest
j he gave to his father.
When Kenneth had saved up the
fifty dollars he gave it to Mr.. Blake
but Mr.. Blake did not want to take
it so that afternoon he deposited
the money in the bank in Kenneth's
name and sent messenger to Ken
meth with the bank book.
Mr.. Wells had also been saving
all of his extra money. When he
had worked in the factory three
years he drew out all of his money
from the bank and went to the
home of his landlord. When he
came from the home Of the land
lord he property in which he lived
was his. Kenneth was so happy
that he had to tell Mr.. Blake. A
few days afterward Mr.. Wells was
called into the office of the super
intendent.
WELL" said the superintendent,
"you have been with US three years,
have you not? You have not been
absent since you began work and
you have always done well. l shall
appoint you foreman of the black
smith shop"
Mr.. Wells was so surprised that
he could only say THANK you" He
started to go.

intendent, whose name was Hister.

thrust a letter toward Wells.
Wells took the letter and read it

AViATION-ITS VALUE
TIME OF WAR.

One OF the most important
branches in the u. s. army is the
aviation. Before the present war
very few people thought that aero
planes could be useful in warfare.
Today everybody is saying that this
war will be won by the aeroplanes.
Their usefulness has already been
demonstrated by the European
countries now at war.
To make aeroplanes we must
have money, materials, and mo-
tor that will be suitable for every
use. At the beginning Of the war
congress appropriated nine hun
dred and sixty-one million dollars
for the building of aeroplanes. In
the way of materials, there is no
other country supplied as we'll as
the United States. Some of the
best engineers invented a motor
that is claimed to be very efficient.
People are wondering why the
United States has not produced
more aeroplanes than she has. This
is because of inefficient manage
ment which is now being remedied
by the government. However,
there are many Liberty motors
ready in different automobile fac
tories in the country. AS soon as
the aeroplanes are built the motors
will be ready to be installed.
The aeroplanes will win this war
by these methods, by observing and
taking photographs of the enemy's
positions, by bombing expeditions,
and by their efficiency in attacking
enemy planes. After an aeroplane
returns with photographs of enemy
positions, the artillery can destroy
these places by means of these pho.
tographs. The aeroplanes are very
efficient for observing as has been
shown in the war. Second, the
bombing parties. Often a person
will read in the papers about a
bombing expedition against the en-
envy. French and English ayiat0rs
have destroyed many supply sta
tons in this way and have caused
the enemy to lose many supplies.
Third, their efficiency in attacking
enemy planes. Since the war be-
gan the allies have destroyed about
sixteen hundred aeroplanes. The
highest number of planes brought
down by one man is fifty-twO. This
was made by Captain Guynehimer
Of the French aviation service.
When America has all her planes
in Europe, the war will be just the
same as over.
The best of instruction is given
our aviators in the training camps.
They receive part of their institute
! ton from French and English avia.
tors, VINO have taken an active
part in the war. In this way our
aviators can profit by the mistakes
made by the Allies. Although there
have been few accidents in the
training camps, there have compar-
atively few to the number now
training.
We read in the papers almost
every day about an American avia-
tor bringing down an enemy plane
or two. The aviators are ding very
creditable work in France, although
the United States has only about
thirty aeroplanes over there. What
will the United States do then,
when she gets her entire aviation
branch in France? 1t means the
downfall of autocracy.-Oran Par

How We Can Win the War

We are wishing that We will win
the war. And we want our wish to
come true. We can make our wish
come true by helping the men in
the trenches. And one way is to
be 4 minute man. The next is to
give our money to Uncle Sam, and
let him buy food for our soldiers.
The third is to buy thrift stamps
and bonds. The money win go to
Uncle Sam and he will buy army
trucks, cannons, war ships, and
clothing for the soldiers.-Arthur
Fisher, Sevastopol Sschool.

The President has found another
purpose for the Boy Scouts. 1t seems
that a large amount Of Black Walnut
is wanted by the Government for the
making of gunstocks and aircraft pro-
pellers. There are no large tracts Of
Black Walnut timber in this country
at this time. But there are many
isolated trees scattered all over the
country. The boys are asked by the
President to locate these trees and
get the price wanted from the owner
and estimate the amount Of timber
contained in each tree. After the
tree has been removed the boys are
asked to plant trees for each one that
has been cut down. President Wilson
probably realizes that there are none
perhaps more apt to know the loca-
ton of the Walnut trees than the
boys of the community where they
grow. But the writer realizes that it
is certainly testing the patriotism Of
the boys to ask them to aid in Destroy
ing these giant forest friends.

Monday evening for their summer
camp at Buffalo Lodge Lake, near
Granville. This is one Of the most
important items in the Scout pro-
gram and is offered the boys not so
much for the sake Of the outing as for
the opportunity it offers for training
them to live in the open as we'll as in
matters of discipline, sanitation and
wholesome living that will best fit
them for their place in the future Of
the Republic.

Scouting or you would not be willing
for your boy to be Scout. We are
giving very literally of our time to
make the organization as useful as

seeing that nothing trivial interferes
with your boys attendance at the
weekly meetings, nor their work in
connection with the Red Cross or
other tasks which are assigned to the
Scouts by the Government.
