]. H. S. GIRLS HAVE
CAMP SUPPER-CLEN

About $50 girls went on the camp
supper held for all girls of Garfield
school Thursday afternoon, Oct. 8
and oh! what a good, good time ev-
erybody had,
Immediately after school the
girls who wished and were able to
go on the camping jaunt and many
of the women teachers started on
their hike to. Glen Miller park
where the fun was to be had. Ar
irving at Roosevelt Hill, they found
a great big roaring fire already pre-
pared for them through the kind
ness of Mr.. Hollarn, superintendent
of parks, with plenty of wood along
side of it to keep it for long, long
time.
The girls played games and roll
ed downhill, or tried to, at least. II
you have ever tried to roll down
hill, and perhaps every single one
of you has tried, you have found
it rather difficult to roll straight
down and much easier to roll on
slant.
Later they roasted wieners and
bacon over the camp fire and ate
their lunch. After this they roast
ed marshmallows. The party broke
up early as it was planned that ev-
cry girl should be home by 6
O'Clock.

WORLD EVENTS
in BRIEF

President Harding has ordered
that the first copies of the Declare
ton of Independence and the con-
stitution be taken to safer places.
This order has led people to think
of the other important national pa
pers and perhaps it will lead to the
erection of a special building in
which to put these papers.
The question has come up wheth-
er or not American labor will be
represented as a body in the dis
armament discussion which will be-
gin in Washington on Nov. IL.
Leaders in the labor party of Eng
land think that labor ought to be
especially represented. President
Harding, however, does not believe
that groups like that ought to be
represented in this conference.
1t is said that the tact and wis
dom of Premier Lloyd George is
the chief thing which made the
conference between the English
and the Irish a possibility after
much disagreement. This meeting
will begin on Oct IL in London.
President Harding has sent
plea to the mayor of every city and
to the governor of every state ask
ing them to help him in carrying
out the plans made In the recent
conference to relieve the unemploy-
ed problem. He has asked that in
every city the mayor form group
of people who will take care of the
question of the unemployed in his
own city.
There is a great deal Of trouble
in India these days. From time to
time there are many little fights
which result in the killing of many
people. Causes for these uprisings
are disagreements in religious be-
liefs as well as political. Many peo-
pie of India who are seeing and
thinking about these uprisings are
sorry that they happen, especially
just now when there is reason to
expect that India may have home
rule which government they have
been wanting for long time. Eng
land will probably not grant this
home government as long as this
serious civil warfare continues.

We Visit Old School

We went to the Fairview school
1t was built in 1875. This school
is made of bricks, not of logs.
There are two windows in each
room. The old Fairview school has
two stories. The log school has
only one room. This building is
heated by stoves.-Mildred Phaen-

CANARY BIRDS LIVE
IN JOSEPH MOORE

Two canary birds still make
their home at Joseph Moore school.
The three young birds which were
baby birds at at the school last
spring, grew into three very nice
young birds and were sold during
the summer. One of the birds
usually lives in its cage in Miss
Stafford's room, the Sab grades,
and the other one usually stays and
sings in the kindergarten room.
When the children wish it, how
ever. the birds visit the different
rooms.

baiioonists. high wire walkers,
stunt aviators. human flies and
movie thrill men. Being birds of
feather they fock together when
they land in New York.
Most of them came from farms,
simple minded. joviaf fellows. who
have a pathetic value of mere dis
play and its resulting fame. To
them there is a magic fascination
in danger.
On account of their odd calling
they are more or less isolated from
human society. A dare devii' ap-
pears an interesting phenomenon to
watch but he has SO little In COM
mon with his less intrepid fellows
that his friendships are chiefly
among his own sort.
A reporter who dropped In on
them one day discovered that not
man among them possessed a
bank account. The pay Is fairly
good when thsy work but most Of
the time they are loafing. They
have no system of getting jobs and
depend largely upon the vagaries
Of chance. .
Each has a scrsp-book filled with
the exploits that have proved
themes for headlines and IL is their
most priced possession. They never
take a drink and the use of tobacco
is confined to chewing the weed.
IL Is their belief that this method
Of using tobacco is less injurious
to their nervous systems.
The professional life of a dare
devii' Is not more than ten years.
They are at their best between 20
and 80 and after 80 they are more
cautious and when they become
cautious their usefulness is soon at
an end. The club has about
seventy-five members and the dues
are just enough to pay for the bare
rental of the little hall they oc-
cupy.

HOW JUDGE FAXON WAS
KILLED.

The scene was that of a county
court in the mountain district of
Tennessee. Judge Faxon was con-
Quoting the trial of Bob Faxon, his
cousin, accused of the murder of
Elmer Breem. The shooting had
been but another incident in a feud
betweensthe Breem and Faxon fam
lilies which had ragged with undated
fury through ive generations.
Both><amilies were ranked among
the wealthiest in several counties.
Both had furnished men to public
life who had served with honor and
distinction, But the names of both
were tarnished with a succession
OF brutal and revengeful assassina-
tions.
When John Faxon, later to be.
come the judge, had married Beulah
Breem. some twenty years before.
breaking a precedent Of nearly Q
century, it look ed Ns though the ais
toric antagonism between the two
claans was doomed to die out. But
recently the bitterness had blazed
up again through the rival claims
of Bob Faxon's father and Elmer
Breem to a certain piece of tim
Der land that a new railroad spur
up. There had been a lawsuit In
which Breem had won.
Then, one day. Breem had been
shot down from ambush as he drove
his car up the toilsome slope of
Mount Summit, and young Bob Fax

There were those that said the
judge would be prejudiced in favor
Of his own family. Others expected.
him to bring about the acquittal of
Bob IL he could. Those who knew
him best and were not themselves
blinded by pfejudice were confident
that he would conduct himself
through the painful affair with
strict impartiality.
