Hunting Gold in Africa

One day when a bunch oil us boys
were sitting around, | mentioned
that we take a trip to Africa to
hunt gold. The boys said they
would go. So the next day us boys
got ready to go. We started the
next morning very early We got
there the next week. We bought a
boat and started up big river to
hunt gold. On our way up the rlV-
er we saw many negroes that looked
very savage. About dusk the first
niglt we went on shore and put up
our tent. We got our supper and
were eating when we heard a noise
and looking around we saw a ne
gro. We were scared but the negro
acted friendly. He said he would
get us all the meat we wanted IL
we would give him a rifle which
we agreed to do. He then left us
and went home. We got up early
the next morning and were about
ready to go when that negro hailed
us he said he had us some meat.
Sure enough he did. We went on
our trip and about noon we got to
the place where we wanted to go
The first thing we did was to start
clearing off the land so we could
build our house. The house was
built up in the air about ten feet
because of the dampness at that
place. Our house consisted of two
rooms, one bedroom and kitchen.
We made some furniture. also
stove made out of sun-dried bricks.
Next we started to mine gold. We
had a few pans along to wash gold.
But before we had very much gold
mined it was night, so we quit for
that day. We ate our supper and
was just done when that negro
came with more meat. He had some
wild turkeys. We stayed there
about three months and got a lot
of gold. Then we got ready to
start home Kenneth Rinehart,

This Ship Carries
Money to OctaD;a

In one end of the hall of Joseph
Moore School nailed to rather
high standard is the picture of a
big ship and this ship carries mon
ey over the sea to France where
Octavia Mezy lives, the little girl,
seven years old, whom the boys
and girls of this school help to sup
port. This is the way it carries
the money-fOr it does not really
go over the Atlantic, since this
ship is drawn with black crayon
on gray cardboard and we fear
would never reach the French
coast if it were launched from our
Atlantic coast: 1t has portfolios in
its sides, of course, as every great
vessel has-and from these port
holes hang long envelopes, though
you can not see these in front of
the standard as you look at the
ship, but you discover these by 60
ing behind the picture and peeiing
around. The children of Joseph
Moore drop their pennies and nick.
els and dimes in the special port
hole marked for their grade and it
falls down into the long envelope.
Every evening this money is col
lected and is saved until the time
comes when the ship will have col
lected $18,25 which is the amount
of money they send every spring to
Octavia. Monday afternoon they
had collected $3.50 and hoped to
have the entire amount collected
very soon.
The boys of the fifth grade made
the ship and splendid looking
ship it is, too, with gay little

they planned to capture that city.
These sultans up to that time
had been very wise, courageous
men who trained the men into pow
erful armies, and led the troops
themselves. But later the sultans,
becoming rich and powerful, be-
came lazy. They spent great sums
of money to build palaces and buy
jewels. They bought beautiful
women to grace the palaces. In
stead of keeping their leadership
by ruling their people wisely, they
schemed to have their rivals put
out of the way. 1t is said that
some of the sultans even had their
own brothers killed to prevent any
chance of them gaining control.
"These sultans became more
cruel as time went on. They sent
their men into other countries to
Stay whole towns of people and
carry back money, food and women
and girls. The women and girls
were sold as slaves.
Finally, the Turks themselves.
became enraged at the sultan and
about twelve years ago rose up in
arms against him. They forced
him to quit his throne and made
his brother sultan. They took away
from the sultan much of his power,
too, arranging for a parliament
which the people could di- |
rect the affairs of the government. |
The sultan because of his position
and his control over the army, is !
still very powerful man, how
ever"

whatever you think will be most
popular. Go to printer and get a
sample of whatever you are going

have an article which will be used
in every home, you can charge
much more for advertising than If

about the house. You will give
away the article and make your
profit from the advertising.
Another plan is to get out

person to help plan it then take a

building and loan association and
persuade them to buy it for free

you will make your profit from the

Paul's Accident

Paul and Ned were skating on
the pond. There was a thin place
in the ice and a danger signal had
been put there to warn the skaters.
Paul was skating backwards and
all at once he fell right down on
the thin sheet of ice.
Ned, who was at the end of the
pond, saw Paul, and ran to help
him up, but it was too late, for Paul
went through the thin ice and he
went down, down, down, and he
thought that he would never stop.
Paul knew how to swim, but he
was too scared and helpless to do
anything. Suddenly Ned appeared.
After a long time he got Paul out
and they had to 60 home for Paul's
clothes were wet and he would
catch cold.
When they got home. supper was
just ready. They told their par

Greece to Follow
 Conciliatory Plan
 Toward the Allies

ATHENS. Dec. 24-By the As sociated Press king Constantine dressed in the uniform of general of the Greek army, apparently still wear jed from his trip home from SwitZer- land, called in the American cor respondents today and gave them his first interview since he came back to Athens. He said he appreciated the courtesy of the American officials in calling on him.
 Constantine said that, as far as he understood the situation, the Greek governments would follow a concilia- tory attitude toward the allies and that he did not expect a change in the cabinet at present. He smilingly shrugged his shoulders regarding the uncertainty as to whether the British and French ministers would remain in Athens.
 They don't know what they are go- ing to do." he said. Yesterday they expected to go; today they are uncer- tain. Maybe tomorrow they again viii change their minds"
 Constantine said that the wife of former King Alexadner (Madame Aspasia Manos, AleXander's morgani- tic wife) had no status in royalty. but that friendly relations with her would be maintained.
 Princess Anastasia formerly Mrs. William B. Leeds of New York) is now a recognized Greek princess Constan- tine added. The king said he had talk ed with her yesterday.
 Constantine impressed the core spondents, who had not seen him be- fore, with his personality which was democratic and friendly. Tn his de- meanor there was no suggestion of royalty Constantine said Queen Sophie had been very seasick during the trip from Italy.
 Speaking of the coming marriages of the Duke of Sparta to Princess Elizabeth of Rumania, and of Crown Prince Charles of Rumania to Prin- cess Helene of Greece, Constantine said that no dates had been decided upon. He said, however, that there would be no double marriage
