Australian Aboriaines.

As a hunter the native Australian is
marvelously adjusted to his environ
ments. His success lies in an intimate
knowledge of the habits Of animals.
ANY animal which leaves a track, how
ever dim, in saud, on rock, orsin grass
falls an easy prey to the black fellow.
Children are taught to track lizards
and snakes over bare rocks.

Ellis County is supposed to raise
$3.50 for this drive. This means
about one dollar for each voter of
the last general election. Consequent
ly we expect personal interview
will be necessary.
Letters to all the clergy of the
county in care OF parishes have been
mailed this week.
Next week the supplies will be ap-
portioned so that everyone will have
a chance to do his charitable share
towards the noble work of the Amer
lean Red Cross.
We do not expect any adult to
give less than one dollar, for the re-
ceipt of one dollar entities the donor
to wear Red Cross Button, 1920.

of the Drive and all preparatory
news kindly consult the Ellis Head

Accommodating LiIv.

South America is not the only coun-
try that can boast OF large leaves. In
India the Victoria Regia grows leaves
several feet across, and with a buoy
ancy sufficient to sustain the weight
of a child. The edges turn up and
form a sort of bowl.
