Story Of Great Charter
Oak Tree Whose Hollow
Protected the Document

In American colonial history grants
Of franchise. governmental privileges
and estates to companies for the pu>
pose Of establishing colonies. TO the
colonies In general or to individual
proprIetors, were embodied In char
tiers. The Charter Oak was q large
tree that stood In Hartford, Conn, IN
Ill blown down by wind storm on
Aug. 81, 1856. Humorous statements
have been made regarding the age OF
this great tree, and there is a wide
range OF the estimates. which run
from 200 to nearly 1000. The tradl'
ton relating to the Charter Oak IL
that when Sir Edmund Andres was ap
pointed governor general Of New Eng
land. he came to Hartford In 1887 to
receive the colonial charter. This the
colonists were loath to surrender, but
appearing to submit. carried 1t to tho
council chamber, when, during the de-
bate which followed. the lights were
suddenly extingulshed by preconcert-
ed arrangement, and in the ensuing
confusion the document was carried
from the room to its subsequent hid.

tree Here II remained for about two
years, when the deposition Of the tyr
annous and hated Andres made fyr

cuItivatlna Edible Bamboo.

The japanese edible bamboo has
been successfully introduced into the
southern portion of the United States
by the department Of agriculture. Sew
eral plantations are now esbbllshed in
Georgia and louisiana. PopuIarlza-
ton of the bamboo will furnish large
homegrown supplies Of this useful
timber required by our manufacturing
industries. The giant grass grows Il
foot day. and Its j0foot stalk is
well adapted for making frames, furni-
ture, ladders, trelises and barrel
hoops. The new sprout is delicious
vegetable and resembles asparagus in
flavor and IN the manner of its prep

Ancient Chinese Art.

Attention has been called to'a not
able addition TO the treasures Of the
British museum, In the shape Of
colossal Chinese figure Ia wood. II is
sculptured from cleverly jointed
blocks. and represents figure, In

In height. II is the first specimen OF
lts kind to be added to the national
collections In Great Britain; the date
is thought to be from 1926 to 1870 A.

aroused will lead to further study OF
this branch Of art. II is pointed out

RECOGNIZED a Man.

When one OF the transports went
over last spring the chaplain, finding
group Of men sitting together on
the deck with nothing to do, began to
tell them stories. He did not say they
were Bible stories. He just told them
TOR their brilliant value as tales. And
he told the story OF Paul's shlpwreck
and those IA days In typhoon when
he was making his famous voyage to
Rome. When he had finished q man
called out to him:
'Nvho was that gnyf"
"The story teller replied that II was
a man named Paul. The soldier went
below and aroused his bunkle. "The
chaplain was telling us a story up on
deck about a fellow named Paul. and
he was some man."

Anybody Has to Hustle
to Hold High Position.

Not every man can be great, but
most men can be much greater than
they are. Greatness is like every
thing else-you must pay for It. Why
should fortune smile upon you with
gifts It denies to others? The whole
thing is a matter Of first principles
born with the race, but recognized
and developed by the few. It's an In
ner something that has to be tested
and constantly used to maintain the
truest efficiency. Fortunate influence
may be able to locate you In the seat
of the mighty, but you will have to do
the hustling that keeps you there.

JOURNAL PRINTED g. INDIANS
cherokees Once Had a Newspaper
That May Be Said to Have Be-
come a Power.

The Cherokee Indians. when still oc-
cupying what now is the state of Geor'
gln, published a newspaper In their ma
tive tongue in 1928. One of their tribe,
SeQuoyah by name, In 1873 designed
SO characters that were to represent
the Cherokee language IN print. The
national committee and council OF the
tribe meeting ut New Echota, the cap
it'll of .heir nation, in 1S2G, voted a
fund to buy type, n press and the nee
essary equipment. The paper was
known ms the Cherokee Phoenix. Half
OF 1t was printed in Cherokee and half
In English. Hundreds of fuil-blood In
dams who otherwise wOuiu have re-
manned illiterate all their lives, were
thus enabled to read after mastering
the alphabet These Indians became
subscribers Of the paper, as did mem
beers of nelghborlng 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
five years, and was harassed when the
movement having for its object the re-
moyal 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 Boudlnot, a
natlvp-born citizen of the nation.

Of MANY
CASES IS RESULT
OF STRICT RULES

One OF the most immediate results
Of the observation of strict measures
pertaining to influenza, is the start
ling number Of cases reported as hav-
ing recovered" since institution of
strict quarantine, saturday. City
Health Officer DR.. r. E. Pomeroy.
Monday, was hesieged with phone
calls from physicians who reported
that many of their influenza patients
had fully recovered from the flu. over
IS cases are now recorded as having
fully emerged from the banefui effects
of the disease.
All of the 40 cases now under quar-
artine in Salem have been placed un-
der the measures instituted Sa urs-Y
bv the police committee. This new ban
on the disease is as stringet as quar-
a...A "a 80 a ees of ssarl fever or
smallpox and the authorities request
that all violations of these rules be re-
oor ed.
Physicians are required to report all
cases of influenza to the city health
authorities Y has been reported that
certain physicians have circulated
statements that DR.. Pomeroy was not
enfcrc nr quara inc.
Now that the city health officer has
been given full authority to enforce
quarantine provisions, these same ply
sicians, if there are any, are in turn
put up against it to comply with the
law by reporting all diseases. While
the source of the rumors in question
has not been determined, DR.. Pomeroy
has denied that he has ever failed to
enforce quarantine where reported.
In many cases, however. the physi-
clans report is delayed many hours.
In other instances, the deputy to the
city health officer has often had a
number of cases in widely separated
sections of the city, rendering delay
in quarantine necessary. The city
health officer points out that these de-
lays do not point to lack of enforce
ment.
While many physicians agree w.sh
DIR. Pomeroy that the present strln-
gent measures may work q temporary
hardship upon those affected, yet the
city officials feel that the source of
widespread rumors of careless en-
forcement of influenza measure in Sa-
lem, will be run to the ground. With
only two deaths attributed to influen-
20, salem is regarded to have been
-'~ate nr ng flu season this
year. as compared to other cities in the
itate
on the other hand, authorities urge
complete isloation and thorough care
OF actual case OF the disease in order
TO prevent widespread epidemic.
