KINDERGARTEN WINS
HIBBERD PENNANT

A banner of black, beautifully
embroidered in orange and hung
on mission standard, is desired
by each grade Of Hibberd school.
Embroidered on the banner is the
inscription, "Hibberd p. T. A." and
this means Hibberd Parent-Teach-
ers association, This body holds
a meeting once month. After
this meeting, it is figured which
grade had the largest per cent. of
parents attending, and then the
banner is placed in the assembly
room of the winning grade. For
the past month, the kindergarten
has been the glad possessor Of the
banner.

Walter Gets Ahead

Walter Scott tells the story of a
when he was lad. 1t was the Gus
tom for the scholars in that school
to change their places in classes
according TO their success or fail
ure in recitation. This boy always
stood at the head of the class AL
though Walter stood second he
could never get to the head be-
cause the boy never missed. But
one day he noticed that the boy
had a habit of twirling the button
on his jacket when he was puzzled
by hard question. This somehow
seemed to help him think out the
right answer.
Walter, more through mischief
than any worse motive, decided to
cut off this button and see if it
would make any difference. So,
one day, when no one was looking,
he slyly took out his knife and cut
off the precious button.
The next lesson was a spelling
lesson, Several of the scholars at
the end missed hard word and it
came around to the head. The boy
instinctively reached for the button.
1t was gone. He looked down to
find it, grew confused, missed the
word, and Walter went above him.
The boy never got to the head
again. He seemed to lose his am
bition, settled down into a second
rate scholar and never accomplish
ed much in life.
Walter Scott declared that he Of
ten suffered sharp remorse at the
thought that he possibly spoiled the
boy for school and for life by sud
denly cutting off the button that
had done such good service.

Lord plagued Pharaoh and his
house with great plaques because
of Sarai. Abrams wife. And
Pharaoh called Abram and said,
What is this that thou hast done
unto me7 Why didst thou not tell
me that she was thy wife? Why
saidst thou, she is my sister, so I
might take her to me to wife. Now
therefore behold thy wife, take her
and go thy way. And Pharaoh
commanded his men concerning him
and they sent him away, and his
wife and all that he had"
1t is to be noted that Abraham
saved all the loot that he got by
selling his wife into Pharaoh's
harem, and saved his life besides.
For, while it was against the law
in those oriental countries at that
time to take a mans wife into the
harem, it was not against the law
to take a widow. So by the simple
device of killing off the husband
the trick was done without giving
moral offense to the neighbors or
getting in bad with the priests.
W. further learn from Moses that
the cunning Abraham not only got
back into Palestine with his pretty
wife and all the stuff he got from
Pharaoh by his cowardly strategem,
but he had hardly crossed the des-
ert and reached the land Of Canaan
until he again played the same trick.
now on King Abimelech of Gerar,
and this time also he got back his
wife and a thousand pieces of silver.
Father Abraham appears to have
been a hard nut. He sent his son
and his c%oncubine, Hagar, out into
the desert to starve in order to
satisfy the jealousy Of his wife
Sarah, and generally acted the
knave, even under the rather raw
ethics of his times. Rev. Sunday
holds him up to our admiration as
telling a lie to save his wife from
a "hellion." Abraham himself bet
ter deserves that title. and the
kings who fell for his deception
were his victims and paid him dear
ly for their belief in his truthful
Rev. Sunday might at least
refrain from disappearing the
Bible story, and tell it as Moses
told it.

scene Of perpetual motion.
Life at the camp smacked of the
military and the boys were marched
from the barracks to the stock judging
corral or to the assembly hall in COM
pany formation and when the whistle
sounded for one of these formations
in front of the barracks. doors and
s%tairways were inadequate. Actiy,
coverall clad forms poured out of win
dOws, streamed down porch columns
and swarmed out onto the parade
grounds where boy captains lined them
up and attempted to establish a mill
tary snap and precision. But a boy is
a boy the world over, and while the
captain was seriously trying to estab-
lish a straight line at the right end Of
his company the 'pickaninny squad"
down at the other end of the line was
usually convulsed by a series Of sur
reptitious kickings, nudgings and smoth-

demonstrations by experts on various
subjects, but, best of all perhaps. these
farm boys, many of whom came from
isolated homes and who had never seen
more than a dozen or so boys together
before, learned how to play and TO mix
with one another. The bashfulness
and self consciousness evident on the
first days were entirely missing before
the camp was half over.
An instructor noticed one day a boy
standing apart from HE fellows. He
didn't appear to be having a good time.
The other boys wouldn't play with
him. he said. The instructor smiled
and persuaded him to try his hand at
q game wherein the participants hurled
a basketball at one another. Some
body threw the ball at him and in five
minutes he had forgotten all about the
objection he fancied the other boys had
for him. Throughout the rest of the
camp he participated as eagerly in the
games as did his fellows. If he has
stopped to think about it since he
probably realizes that he owes the
other boys an apology for accusing
them of not wanting to play with him.

Electric Operation Cheaper
All operating costs considered. tax
experts figure that there is a net saving
of 25 per cent in electric operation of
railroad trains as compared with
steam. An analysis made by the Nor
folk and Western Railroad revealed that
the fuel cost of running an electric
locomotive 100 miles was $44.95 com-
pared with a cost S72.42 for a steam
locomotive.

the great bulk of the coal transported

forces of the government, supplemented
by the support of the great industrial
and railroad corporations, 1t might be

ferior motives. Generally speak
ing, we have no doubt they are all
convinced that they are voting for
the good of their state and nation
as well as for the political welfare
of their party.
At any rate, a blanket investiga.
ton such as is proposed could do
no possible good and it would carry
no weight when the report was
made. Some of the senators have
got a little mad and lost their tenn
pers over the fact that many of the
leading newspapers of their own
political party will not support
their tariff policy. On the other
hand, their wrath has been increased
by the fact that these newspapers
have in some cases attributed sell
fish motives to the advocates of
the highest tariff ever proposed in
this country. If they would calm
down a bit and forget their wrath
it would be just as well. 1t Is en-
tirely likely that the republican
newspapers opposing the tariff bill
are doing SO from a sense of public
duty, and it is entirely probable that
those who are supporting it are
not doing so from any mean mo-
tive. but because they think it best
for their party and what the people
who elected them want them to do.
The motives that actuate human
conduct are hidden in the breast of
the individual. but if we give them
credit for being moved by good in
stead of evil motives where there is
no proof to the contrary, we will
probably hit the truth in the ma
jority of cases

those of General John j. Pershing,
who served in the post as a first lieu
tenant of the Tenth cavalry in 1895.

time a lieutenant of the First cavalry
and later commanded the famous 91st

Dow Wins Camp Prize
The boys were divided into four COM
panies. and every boy was fired with
a spirit of competition. Every contest,
every task was performed with the idea
of doing it better than members Of
another company did it. Each com
pany was scored and at the end of the
camp members of the winning company
were awarded first prize ribbons.
Swimming. games. kitchen police, mill
tary drill and stock judging were all
considered in making the awards.
In addition to the company award. a
silver cup was given to the boy who
appeared to be the best example of a
manly, all-round boy. The cup was
won by Raymond Dow of Hill county.
a splendid, gentlemanly chap. but the
selection of the winner was by no
means easy. There were approximately
146 manly al-round boys at the camp.
Unknown to the boys, the instructors
finally narrowed the contenders down
&c eight. These were watched closely
and examined.

girls club leader. who was in charge
of the camp, my only regret was that
we didn't have eight cups to give"
Father Would Come Next Year
Every minute of the day was a busy
one for the boys at camp. There were
classes. lectures and demonstrations in
the morning after they had been given
a brisk course of setting up exercises.
In the afternoon there were games
and swimming. In the evening there
were movies and stunts. All their
meals were planned with a view to the
needs of a growing boy, and the way
they ate and slept would turning a
golfing business man green with envy.
