DRAW ON AFRICAN FORESTS
ply Of Wood From That Source
Going Forward.

A reinforcement for the world de-
mand for lumber is preparing in Brit
ish East Africa, where there are be-
tween 100000 and 100000 acres Of
woodland to draw upon, and new in,
dusry, very infantile at present, is ex-
pected to grow so rapidly that the gov
eminent Is now considering plans to
improve the harbor facilities for ex-
porting the forests. The best wood is
suitable for wheel makers and wagon
builders and the making of wood block
paving, railway sleepers, bridges, OK
Jokes, and ak, pick and tool handles
It also makes good flooring and lining
boards. The builder, however, must
needs be of patient disposition if he
postpones building until these British
East African woods are available
Meantime there are new sounds in
some Of the African forests, the
rhythm of the wOodsman's ak, the buzz
Of the sawmill, and the putting of un
dersized locomotives on the narrow
gauge tracks that are penetrating
from the main line Of railway into the
woodlands. And many workman, no
doubt, will some day work with tools
whose handles grew in an African for

Play Ground in Tiers.

The first municipal play ground of
Czecho-Slovakia, in Prague, occupies a
high hill which is terraced off. supply
ing space at the top for tennis courts
and ball grounds; on lower terrace a
pavilion, band stand and open-air
theater, on still lower tier running
track. and farther down the children's
grounds, with sand pile, wadlng pool
and swings. In this latter section
there are pavilions where mothers can
sit and rest or sew as they watch the
children. This first play ground for
children IS a cooperative effort OF the
Czech government and the American
~" which will eventually be entirely
under government management. At
present the city has supplied the place,
the Y. M. G. A. is paying for the equip
ment and the Y. w. G. A. has given the
leadership. Charts for smaller play
places for other parts of the city are
being prepared.

DOES WORK WHERE IT IS
MOST GREATLY NEEDED
Salvation Army Reaches Millions In
Street--EfHciency Makes Cost
Unusually Low.

"A great deal IS heard nowadays Of
the Social Service work of the Saliva
ton Army, and it is an easy matter
to lose sight of its powerful influence
as religious organization. n
/. Last year Salvation Army preached
the Gospel Of Divine Love; Of Hope
and Salvation to 100000 men and
women In the streets. These men and
women were not the erudite folks who
regularly attend religious services, but
were the thugs and the gangsters IN
whose feeble brains the un-American
doctrines of class hatred and radicals
ism find the quickest -rOot-just the
common riff-raff of the street. Yet
the Salvation Army believes, as it al.
ways has, that every one of these, no
matter how humble or depraved, Is
possessed of a soul; that his life of
vice and crime may be tempered by .
message of Hope and >the Love Of
God. Il
In its budget this year, for which an
appeal is to be made during the week
Of October 4th to 11th, the. Salvation
Army has been able, despite advancing
prices, through its extremely efficient
management, to ask the people OF
North Dakota for $25,352.44 less than
they actually raised for them In 1919

NUMBERS in EAST AND WEST
Difference Of Opinion as to Whether
Odd or Even Figures Are
Lucky or Unjucky.

We are pleased to term thirteen an
unlucky number, observes London An
swers, but in Japan the unlucky num-
Der is four, and in Burmah even num-
bers are all considered less lucky than
odd ones.
Our lucky numbers, or what are
generally considered so by supersti-
tious folk, are three and seven. If
you ask the reason you are told that
God is Three in One, and that God
made holy the seventh day.
AS for seven, this number Is sup
posed to be lucky either by itself or
In its multiples. AS an old writer
says. q boy sheds his teeth at z years
old; at II he becomes a youth; at 81
man; while he reaches his grand
climacteric at nine times THAT is 63.
The figure three is extraordinarily
prominent in the Bible. Noah had
three sons, and Job three friends.
There were three patriarchs. Daniels
three companions were thrown into
the fiery furnace. and he himself was
three days in the lions den.

Of these people received constructive
aid from The Salvation Army. 100000
men and women who, in their Poverty
and Despair, were a menace to So
ciety, bought back their heritage OF
self respect and were made useful and
c0ntented.
Can man who holds in his heart
the Love of God; the Love Of Country
and of Fellow Man, knowingly, and
with malice, strike at the very root of
our Peace and Prosperity with bomb
or torch? Have the billions OF
money and the sacrifice of millions Of
men been wasted? Are you ready to
assume your full obligation as a citi-
zen of a great State and a magnificent
Republic? Will you hold up the hand
of The Salvation Army that it's
strength may be doubled to fight the
terrific battle against Lawlessness,
Poverty and Human Despair?
Sunday, October 3rd, has been set
aside as Salvation Army Sunday by a
proclamation issued by Governor Lynn
j. Frazier. Upon this day every min
lister in North Dakota will be asked
to devote part Of his sermon. to the
work Of this great organization.

Rats Overrun English Town.

Millions of rats are overunning
Abertillery (Mon1nouth), England. and
neighborhood. While the congrega-
ton was leaving Baptist church in
Tillery street on a recent Sunday an
army Of rats ran among them. One
woman collapsed All means have
been used. but the rats have not only
survived, but also thrived. The medi-
cal officer of health. DR.. Bailie Smith,
says the rats are of two kinds-brown
and black. The black rats, as rule.
keep to the sewers. but the brown
rats climb anything-telegraph poles
and rain and gas pipes. They swarm
everywhere. 1t was suggested to the
Abertillery district council that ex-
pert rat destroyers should be employ
ed, but local staff having stated that
they could do better than the experts,
the matter has been left to them with
discretionary power to call in help If
necessary.

Ancient Chinese Art.

Attention has been called to a not.
able addition to the treasures Of the
British museum, in the shape of a
colossal Chinese figure in wood. 1t is
sculptured from cleverly jolnted
blocks, and represents a figure, in a
sitting posture, five feet, eight inches
in height. 1t is the first specimen of
its kind to be added to the national
collections in Great Britain; the date
IS thought to be from 1925 to 1910 A.
%. 1t is to be hoped that the interest
aroused will lead to further study of
this branch of art. 1t is pointed out
by a writer in the Burlington Maya
zine of Art that in Cleveland, o., a
competent scholar in connection with
the museum is sent to China to study
she art and collect suitable art treas
lres on it's behalf.

loURNAL PRINTED BY INDIANS
Cherokees Once Had a Newspaper
That May Be Said to Have Be.
come 4 Power.

The Cherokee Indians, when still oc-
eupying what now is the state Of Geor-
gia, published newspaper in their ma.
tive tongue in 1928. One of their tribe,
SeQuoyah by name. in 1928 designed
IS characters that were to represent
the Cherokee language in print. The
national committee and council Of the
tribe meeting at New Echota, the cap
ftal of their nation. in 1926, voted a
fund to buy type, press and the nee
essary equipment. The paper was
known as the Cherokee Phoenix. Half
Of it was printed in Cherokee and half
in English. Hundreds Of full-blood In
dams who otherwise would have re-
manned illterate all their lives, were
thus, enabled to read after mastering
the alphabet. These Indians became
subscribers of the paper, as did mem
bers of neighboring states, and the pa
per became power.
The Phoenix was known in Eu.
rope" and among other famous pa
pers that asked to be placed on the
exchange list was the London Times.
The paper was in operation for about
i've years, and was harassed when the
movement having for its object the re-
moval of the Cherokee Indians west
ward was at its height. 1t suspended
publication when the Georgia state
legislature forbid a white man to live
among the Cherokees.
The honor of becoming the first In
dian editor fell to Elias Boudinot,
native-born citizen of the nation.

The oriental tact and personal charm
Of Emir Feisal did much to win friends
for the Arabian cause In Paris. No
one ever came away from him In an
angry mood. The emir was very witty
and many stories are told Of his clever
retorts to acQuaintances In Paris. On
one occasion a correspondent asked
him to give his opinion Of modern
statesmen as q result of his acQuain-
lance with them at the peace confer
ence. he replied, "They are like mod.
ern paintings. They should be hung
In a gallery and be viewed from a dis
tance." Another time at meeting of
the council Of ten. NJ. Pichor referred
to the claims Of France in Syria,
which he said were based on the Cru
sades. Emir Feisai turned toward him
and inquired mildly. II am not a great
student of history, but would you kind
~ tell me which one Of us won the
Crusades." - ~ O.

what Emir Feisal thought of the Brit
