Little Message to
Vigorous Juniors
About Cleanup Week

To the Dear Juniors OF Richmond:
1t is pleasure to write to you;
you are the joy and hope of our
city. You have been learning how
beauty may be brought to your
home, by trees, flowers and pic
lures. You can make your dwell
ing attractive, whether it be large
or small; whether you are rich or
have little. A very elegant man
sion, soiled and disorderly, is not
a pleasing sight. A very small cot
tage clean, with vines at the win
Towns, grass nicely moved, and all
neat, is a comfort to the eyes.
| want to talk to you about your
back yard. Is it a place you want
your friends to see? Or, is it full
OF tin cans, old boots and all sorts
of cast-off rubbish? Could you
find your way through it in a dark
night? Do you love to sit and read
there in the evening? Now, every
back yard may be made a place
to delight in. Even a yard without
grass, If swept clean, is not bad:
Think OF what flowers, vines and
shrubs will do for it, Beautify it,
There's also back yard to your
lives, as well as to your homes.
DO you keep it clean? Would you
be willing for your friends to know
how your thoughts would look. if
brought to light? Weed your
hearts, as well as your homes: let
there be no rubbish in them: let
clean thoughts only dwell in your
minds. pray the prayer of Plato
OF old: God make thee beautiful
within"
Your friend,
MRS, F. w. STEPHENS,

The Masked Man took Jane to the
cabin and tied her. Then he told
Jim, one of his gang, to go over by
the purple sage and be on the look
out for any one who might appear.
He went to town to see if Shorty,
the young boy that got work at the
oil fields, was there. He wasn't at
town, so he went to the Yellow
Queen to see if he was there. When
he got there, Shorty was eating his
supper. He told him he wanted to
see him on business. He told him
to meet him at Moonlit saloon at
10 o'clock that night. Shorty went
to town at o'clock that evening.
He lived at the North Bend hotel
He started to read book and soon
forgot what time 1t was, when he
heard someone knocking at the
door. When he went there, there
was the colored porter of the hotel.
He said, s'They is somebody at the
saloon at wants to see you-all"
CHAPTER III

someone wanted him. Shorty went
to the saloon The Masked Man
cold him that he had a gang that he
the gang to help the boys of the
wanted to be in. He said they had

troubles or were sick
Then Shorty said, The manager
of the fields has taken me to a |
club that helps the boys, and / am
satisfied. / Joined it just lately"
The Masked Man looked funnyJ
when he said that. Then he said, |
Why don't you join the other boys !
in my gang; they all said that they
wanted you"
Il would" said Shorty, "but l

Then you won't join our gang,
Shortly"
mo, l just can't"
We'll, then, if you can't join,
what time are you going back to
the fields?"
"Oh, about three-thirty in the
morning"
"All right, goodbye"
Shorty went back to his room in
the hotel, and went to bed While
he was in bed, he wondered why he
wanted to know what time he was
going to the fields.
Why did he want to know the
time he was going to the fields?

rived in New York. Some of these
ships date back to very early times
and some are very modern. There
is a Viking ship, a Chinese junk,
Flemish trader, and many battle
ships. One model is a beautiful
and rather elaborate Dutch trading
ship of the sixteenth century.
Some have been carved from
blocks of ivory and some have
been carefully put into bottles
when the sails were folded and
then the masts, fully rugged, were
pulled up by one line which was
cleverly sealed into the cork. 1t is
said that people looking at these
cannot imagine how the masts got
through the neck of the bottle.
Building of model ships has inter
ested people for centuries. We are
told that carefully made models of
ships and boats have been dug up
in Egypt, among them, one model
of an Egyptian warship of 1000 BIC.
This work must be carefully
done in every detail and men who
build models of ships, especially

cure from $500 to $4,000 for their
work, we are told.

BLOC STARTS new
farm CREDIT MOVE
Senator capper Presides at
First Meeting Since Resig-
nation of Kenyon.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The farm bloc in the United States
Senate. after a period of comparative
quiet, has come back to life. The
first meeting of the group since the
resignation of Senator Kenyon has
just been held under the chairman
ship Of Senator Capper of Kansas.
Insisting that their purposes were
non-partisan and solely to benefit the
agricultural interests Of the country,
twelve republicans and eleven demo-
Gratis attended the meeting and en-
deavored to reach an agreement on a
bill which would reorganize the farm
credit machinery of the nation.
The group decided upon the ap-
pointment Of a committee of seven
to examine the half dozen bills now
pending in Congress with a view to
working out g. satisfactory COM
promise. Practically every farm in
terest was represented at the meet
ing. There were representatives of
the National Grange, the Farmers Bu-
reau, the Farmers National Council,
conservatives and radicals alike.
Eugene Meyer. jr., managing director
of the War Finance Corporation, took
prominent part in the discussion.
New Credit Plan Favored.
The move is fraught with great
significance. Senator Capper told
this correspondent today that a COM
mittee of the American Bankers AS
sociation favored the plan Of a new
credit system for the farmer and
stockman and that President Hard
ing was favorably disposed to the
idea.
Briefly the aim of all the bills is to
enable the farmer to market his
crops without depending upon the
middleman and without permitting
the spectators and other Intervening
interests to take advantage of the

pay his ninety-day obligations. The
desire Of the farm bloc is to estab-
lish in America credit system. with
six months or more as the length of

which will cost $750,0o0, making
