speeches.
Nothing THAT has happened in
this county in the past five years

interest of the country boys and
girls in their school work. We had
a much bigger country enrolment
for high school this fall than ever
before. 1t is due TO The Winnie

done in the English classes, before

Miss Fulton.
There never was real spirit
here till after that paper started.

PART TWO


When finally he reached the bot
tom, he found himself in so large a
hole that he could not get back out
of it again. OF course, Tommie
thought, like the foolish little thing
he was, that the picnickers had
dug this hole just on purpose to
catch him in. Well, he Thought, he
would go in search OF the pic
nickers, and if he found them, he
said he would get even with them.
Well, Tommie started on his
trip. He looked around and found
to his satisfaction that there was a
passage-way underground. He be-
gan going through the passage-way.
Finally, he came to door with a
very small lock on it, and, by the
way, the door was very small.
Well, he found the key lying on
the floor. He unlocked the door
and slowly walked through the
door. When he got through, he
locked the door and threw the key
on the ground. He walked on
through the passageway. Finally
he came out into the open. Before

The Glen Of
North America
THE BIG IDEA
Francis Rolt-Wheeler

The following evening there was
a great meeting in the New AS
sembly Hall. 1t was a house-warm-
ing, and a reunion, and a jollifica-
ton, and what not. The camp
had already picked out a tolerably
good glee club, and there were the
makings of a mandolin and banjo
band. One of the fellows and two
of the girls were singers, Elsa, hav-
ing glorious soprano voice. The
choruses would have shaken any
less solidly built structure.
But there had been hints about
the camp, all day, that the Director
had something important to say,
and when, just before lights out"
at 10 o'clock, he stepped to the
edge of the platform, every one
hushed.
1--WE bee nthinking," he said in
his quiet clear voice, that in the
Clan OF North America idea we've
got too good thing to be kept to
ourselves. We own this camp. We
can invite any one we want. We
can be hosts in a way that fellows
Of our age have never had before.
We can invite all the guests we
like. Why shouldn't we?
Here's my idea. AL lover this
continent, big things, heroic things
are being done by young chaps or
iris about our age. These deeds
don't get talked about much, may
De, just a note in the local paper.
Let's have these heroes for our
guests. We"ean make them honor

With us some fellow or girl who's
Lone o deed of which the whole
continent of North America is
proud, And to have them as ours!"
There was just moment OF
itartled surprise and then a storm
of cheers and shouts rang through
The hail. Pierre had touched his
campmates on their keenest spot
the hero reverence of the young.

Then Mrs. Spitz came along and founa-

She had tasted some Of the pinoIl

appetizing in the extreme. So she set
to work to invent SOME machinery for
removing the shells with minimum OF
labor. Mrs Spitz thought over the PROB
