A LUMBER CAMP

"Bill Nye," the famous humorist, tells
about visit he once made to a lumber
camp: have just returned from a little
impromptu farewell tour in the lumber
camps toward Lake Superior. 1t was my
idea to wade around in the snow for few
weeks and swallow baked beans and
ozone on the one-half shell. The affair
was success. put up at Bootjack camp
on the raging Willow River, where the
gay-plumaged chipmunk and the spruce
gum have their home.
Winter in the pine woods is fraught
with fun and frolic. 1t is more fraught
with fatigue than funds, however. This
winter a man in the Michigan and Wis

soaked with Young Hyson and sweetened
with Persian glucose go out to the timber
with a lantern, hew down the giants of
the forest, with the snow up to the pit of
his stomach, till the gray owl in the
gathering gloom whooped and hooted in
derision, and all for $12 per month and
stewed prunes.
I did not try to accumulate wealth

KINGDOM OF RUMANIA

Rumania, spelled Roumania in the old
biographies, is kingdom of south eastern
Europe which had its origin in the union
of the Danubian municipalities of Wala-
CHA and Moldavia, with the addition of
southern Bessarabia (under the treaty of
Paris, April, 1850. Under the terms of
the peace treaties Rumania has been en-
larged by the addition of all the Province
of Pennsylvania on the western side of
her former Karpathian Mountain boun-
Diary.
The performance of the Rumanian ele
ment in the population of Pennsylvania is
given as the chief reason for its addition
to Rumanian territory under the Peace
Settlement. Rumanians also form large
proportion of the population in Bessarabia
and in the Bukowina, between the rivers
Dneister and Pruth. Thus the effect of
the recent changes in boundaries has been
to create great, new, united Rumania,
whose future rests upon the basis of ma
tionality and patriotism.
In the great war of 1914-1S Rumania
fought on the side of the Allies from
August 81, 1916. After many visissitudes
(due mainly to the sudden breaking up of
the Russian armies in 1917 she was in
vaded by the German and Austrian armies
and was forced to ask for separate
peace.
The great increases in Rumania's area
and population as result of the war will
be readily realized from the statement that
she now comprises 1858 square miles
as against $4,000 before the conflict; and

the population of 100000 in ante-bellum
days has been augmented to 100000
according to estimates of 1919.
The original principalities forming Ru-
mania belonged to the Turkish Empire un-
til 1859. Various changes took place be-
tween that date and 1878 when, by the
treaty of Berlin Uuly 13) the country
was recognized as an Independent state.
On March 81, 1881, the former principal
ity was recognized by the Great Powers
as kingdom.
Rumania is not Balkan" state. She
took no part in the military operations of
the Balkan League against Turkey in
1928; and her. great military power
secured for her readjustment of her
south eastern (Dobruja) frontier at the
expense of warworn Bulgaria.
Old maps of Turkey in Europe are like
ly to show the old boundaries of the coun-
tries or states above referred to, but the
new formation is given herewith. Start
ing at Varna at the south east corner they
will follow up the Danube river, through
the Karpathian range and on to Bazias
just north of Passarowitz. Thence the
line runs northwesterly past Versecz and
Temesvar to point halfway between that
city and Szegedin. From this point the
boundary turns due east for short dis
lance and then northeasterly past Gross
warden probably as far as Szathmar
Nemethi, thence east and north east again
crossing the Karpathian mountains and
pushing on to junction with the Dneister
above Czernovitz. The eastern boundary
is the Dneister river and the Black Sea.
Rumania has climate of intense heat
in summer, severe cold in winter and dis
astrous drouth periodically. The soil of
Wallachia and Moldavia is cassed with
the richest in Europe. Wheat, peas, bar
ley, beans and corn grow heavy crops.
The country has extensive oil wells, for
ests and timber industries. 1t is rich in
minerals but manufactures are in their in
fancy.
Education is free and compulsory. There
are 10000 schools and approximately
100000 pupils. Higher education is
represented by numerous high schools and
universities. Military service also is uni
versal and compulsory. There are 1000
miles of railway and 10000 telephones
and telegraph offices in the country. The
religion of the majority is the Greek
Orthodox Catholic but there are also Jews
and Mussulmans. All have full political
rights and privileges. The government is
a constitutional monarchy. Bucharest is
the capital and Ferdinand is the King.
He was born in 1865 and succeeded to
the throne in 1914.-Ex.

value was given at the local Methodist
church by Prof. Jefferson Benner, Sun
day evening, before a large audience
that filled the church to it's capacity.
Prof. iBenner is very pleasant talker
and he was able to draw very interest

of the island people. Some sixty slides
were shown in the course Of the lecture
portraying some beautiful tropical
scenery and parts Of the industrial life
of the Filipino Mr.. Benner accom-
panied them with very instructive re
marks leaving the impression behind that
the Filipino has a distinct culture Of. his
own. The speaker who has been en-
ployed as a teacher in. the islands for
several years concluded his lecture with
the statement that in his opinion the
Filipino is not yet ripe for complete in
dependence but that the people them.
selves are very much in favor Of it. Sc
