ABSORBING STUDY
OF GRENFELL MADE

The eighth grade of the Bible
school has been studying about
different missionaries of Labrador,
among those being Sir Wilfred
Grenfell, by whose heroic work
medical aid and a brighter future
has been brought to Labrador's
poor fisherfolk. Whether he is act
ing as medical missionary, clergy
man, judge, doctor, policeman or
volunteer postman, he performs
his duties with a vigor and enthu-
siasm that has made his influence
felt in every part of Newfoundland
and Labrador. He was brought
up in a wealthy English family,
and was educated at Oxford and
at London Hospital. He finds in
Labrador, "the joy of the opportu-
nifty of serving" In 1889, under
the auspices of the Royal National
Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen,
he fitted out q hospital ship and ac-
companied the fishermen of the
North Sea on their cruises from
the Bay of Biscay to Iceland.
After three years in the work
there, he began his work in Labra-
dor, along the coast of st. Anthony,
at Battle Harbor and Harrington
Harbor in New Foundland, and at
Indian Harbor in Labrador, he
built hospitals, each of which is
the home of a resident doctor and
nurse. The mission headquarters
are at st. Anthony, where DR.,
Grenfell still lives; here he also
established an orphanage
His little hospital ship, the
Strathcona, is his summer home,
and in June of each year he starts
on a cruise along 1,500 miles of q
bleak, inhospitable coast, and he
goes ashore and visits scattered
villages. He is known to many,
many people as the good angel
of Labrador.
DR.. Grenfell has written several
books of his adventures and work
in Labrador and other vicinities,
which are very interesting. He
gives the royalties from his books,
and the income from bis lectures,
as well as the best of his mind
and life to the fisherfolk of Labro-
dor.

Brilliant Red Star
Of Sc,rplo Visible

Looking very much like a boys
kite with very long tail, Scorpio,
or the constellation named the
Scorpion may now be seen trailing
along the southern horizon on u
clear summer night. The chief
star in the constellation is Antares,
splendid red star. Long ago the
Chinese looked at the flamet like
Antares and called it the Great
Fire. Two small stars stand like
guardians on either side of An
tares.
Scorpio has been associated by
many old astrologers with war and
tempests and woe. According to
an old Greek story, Scorpio bit the
heel of the hunter Arion and caus-
ed his death, angry at Arion be-
cause he had boasted that he would
kill every poisonous reptile on
earth. Both Scorpio and Arion
now appears as consultations in
the sky.

BY PARK STORIES

One of the most delightful clubs
for story telling has been formed
by girls of the Townsend branch OF
Community service. Stories are
told every Friday afternoon at
three o'clock in the South Tenth
street park to children from to
IL years of age. Four girls are as
signed each week to assist in the
storytelling. Each girl has a sto-
ry-book of her own, and she Sc
lects the stories that she thinks
the children would like. Those who
told stories Friday were Miss Mil
dred Williams, Miss Gladys Rey-
nolds, Miss Susy Bennett, and
Miss Ruth Howard.
Hibberd playground was pleas.
antly surprised Tuesday, July IL,
by the appearance of one of the
story-teller's, Miss Susy Bennett,
and the children enjoyed the stor-
les she told very much. Miss Ben
nett was dressed in the gypsy cos
Nme, which all the girls have
adopted for their storytelling garb,
and which pleased the children
very much. The stories that Miss
Bennett told were: "The Two Sis
ters," "The Tongue-Cut Sparrow"
and Hans and Gretel"
1t was decided at the last meet
ing that the girls should also tell
stories weekly at both Hibberd and
Whitewater Fairgrounds. The girls
have become very enthusiastic and
much interested in their work and
more girls are planning to join the
club. Those who belong to the
club at present are: Miss Susy
Bennett, Miss Pauline Hays, Miss
Ruth Howard, Miss Mildred Will
liams, Miss Ellen Milton, Miss
Gladys Reynolds, Miss Fanny Mae

SEVASTOPOL AND
Whitewater LEAD

About s members c cs tr56p ! Of
the Girl Sceurs hiked to Short
->reeK ana enjoyed camp supper,
Thursday evening, July 13. They
did not start home until dark,
which pleased them al the more
for they thought that perhaps a
ghost might turn up "and give
them little fun" But upon being
disappointed, they tried to encour-
age the matter more by bravely
defying all spooky noises and
, weird sounds in an adventure
through a cemetery. But there
were but a few thrills and no
"scares" at all They separated
themselves from part of a bunch,
and after exploring a bit, quietly
slipped out of the gate and walk
ing up the road a piece, they wait
ed at another gate. When they
saw them coming, they began to
sing in their squeekiest tones:
Were all night mourners,
Astanding by the grave,
If you come around the corner,
Your life will not be safe"

Three GIRL SCOUTS
hike, PLAN TESTS

Three members of the Narcissus
Girl Scout troop hiked to Clear
Creek early Monday morning
July 10, to do some outdoor study
on their second-class tests and for
special merit badges, Lunch was
cooked over a small fire. and was
therefore, more enjoyed than a
regular homc-cooked meal. Among
some of the things studied by the
scouts were signalling by sema-
phore code, fire-building, and first
aid. The girls returned to their
homes early in the evening fully
satisfied with the days fun. Those
who enjoyed the hike were. Ethel

PATRIARCH PAGEANT
ENDS Bible SCHOOL

The vacation Bible school closed
the summers work with a delight
full little program, and review, Fri
day evening, July IA, which illus
trated the work the pupils have
been doing The program was di-
vided into three distinctive groups
the Bible study, the memory
work, and the music work.
Probably one OF the most inter
esting events of the evening was
the pageant "The Story of the Pa
triarch," which was originated in
the Bible school, The lives Of
Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, and Mos
es we're carried out in pageant
form, each class of the school pre-
senting about three acts. The he
ro, the brother, and the leader
aspects of each one of the men
were shown and full costume made
the pageant seem real and made
one feel as if he were really living
in the days of the patriarchs.
The musical part of the program
was also very interesting. Sketch
es of George Frederick Handel,
Fanny Crosby and Sir Arthur Sui
livan, song writers were given, and
a song which each of them had
written was sung after each sketch
The program was very pleasing
and the children did very well.

 GOVERNOR COX CREATING A STIR ABROAD

great many Americans may think Ex- Gov. James M. Cox politically dead, but Euro pean statesmen apparently don't think so. Neither does MT. Cox The reception given to the Ohioan abroad has caused much discussion in this country and has convinced politicians that MT. Cox is not only going to be candi- date again for the democratic nomination for President, but is discounting his disastrous de- feat by MT. Harding. If he should be nomi- mated and elected, the information he is obtain ing on his travels would be useful, and there seems to be an impression in Europe that he is man worth cultivating as potential Pres ident of the United States.
 Mir. Harding's election has long since been analysed to the satisfaction of everybody con cerned, except, possibly, MT. Harding himself. It is admitted by democrats and republicans alike that it was not so much question of Harding and Cox as 1t was anything to beat Wilsonsm." The huge vote MT. Harding re- ceived was in large measure vote of pro- test The people wanted change, no mater what it was, and they proceeded to get it by voting MT. Harding into the White House by an overwhelming majority.
 The Philadelphia Public Ledger says, "Mr. Harding was the man who was running against Wilsonsm, not on his own popularity. Doubt less General Wood or Governor Lowden would have got as large a vote. And what is more to the point in this particular forthputting doubtless no dem6crat could have got so large a vote as Governor Cox"
 MT. Cox knows this about as well as any body. The knowledge must have done much to console him in defeat and strengthen the conviction that under more suspicious circum- stances he would stand first-rate chance to win the presidency. There are indications that he is ready to part company with Wilson, al- though he is quoted in dispatches as still re- garding the League of Nations as a national issue.
 Just at present there is little on the surface to show who is the most probable nominee of the democrats. Senator Underwood's name is one of the few mentioned, but it is evident that Governor Cox still believes himself in line for promotion.

IN HOTEL HOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
BOOT OR STOCKING

'T have heard of the term bootlegger- for a long time in connection with persons who trans port and peddle liquor," said w. B. Ford, "but I saw an incident yesterday which someone else will have to name
 q talking to several young men in front of downtown hotel, when automobile drove up and young and attractive woman alghted. She enteSed the hotel lobby and walked toward the telephone booth in the rear, when half pint bottle slid down her stocking to her ankle. She was wearing dress that barely approached her knees, and through her white, and some what flimsy hosiery, the bottle containing a small quantity of red liquor could be plainly seen. ~G
 "This, of course, attracted much attention as the chairs of the lobby were filled with curious spectators, but when she emerged from the telephone booth the bottle had disappeared. Judging from this incident the word boot legger' is a misnomer and will have to be changed to 'stockng-legger.' It was certainly an unusual sight from many standpoints."

POWER DEVELOPMENT ON THE TALLAPOOSA RIVER

Application of the Alabama Power company for permits to build four dams on the Talla- poosa river for development of the water power supply of that stream is outstanding proof of the progressiveness of this state.
 The power to be developed at Mitchell dam is practically bid for, and by the time it is in service every kilowatt of electrical energy furnished by the dam will be used in Alabama factories, mines, mills and homes. Each ad- dition to the hydroelectric energy of the state of using coal and relegates coal to its higher in the development of by-products.
 Alabama is fortunate in having corpora tion with financial backing to make these de- velopments. They require millions of dollars of expenditure before there is a penny of re- muneration, hence none but concerns with am- pie resources and credit can undertake such tremendous enterprises. Every time a new dam is built in the southern states they are that much closer to industrial independence; that much has been added to their capacity to forge ahead industrially, commercially and ag- rculturally, and increase the comforts of home life.
 There is broadness about electrical devel- opment. It is capable of being transmitted long distances to adjacent states and thus serves entire sections, as, for instance, last fall when Alabama current operated Carolina cotton mills, which, but for inst, would have been idle at the height of demand for their products.
 It requires big and solvent corporations 70 do these big things.

BLIGHT OF THE WORLD WAR IS FELT EVERYWHERE

America, who flattered herself that she suf- fered least of all the belligerents who took part in the war of nations, is paying heavy price At present the country is gravely menaced by industrial strife. The burden of war taxes weighs heavily on every citizen, in one way or another, and will oppress generations yet un- born.
 We are by no means at the end of our troubles Some of our pessimists say they are just, beginning, but in Europe there is con- fusion worse confounded Germany as a na- tion is on the verge of bankruptcy. France is struggling under an intolerable tax burden and England is not much better off, Russia s still weltering in the chaos of bolshevism. Italy and Japan are both feeling the economic ef- fleets of war; In the Balkans there are signs of life and improvement, but the remnants of the dual empire are in an even worse plight than Germany. There is not a state in Flu

STREET WORK HAMMERED

"Although city engineering work has not been brought to complete standstill, the ex- cellent work which the force working from my office has been doing on the streets of the city, has become seriously impaired through our in- ability to have road building materials forward ed promptly" said A. J. Hawkins, city engineer.
 q expected to have the lower end of Second avenue at Sixth street in shape for traffic the past month, but was unable to do so on account of not being able to receive shipments of as- phalt from nearby states. The work on the Vandiver road in Norwood, which is one of the most necessary projects now under construc- tiSn, is also practically halted, due to delays in receiving shipments. No new projects are be- ing started by me until some relief can be ob- tained from the rail strike, as more harm than good will come to our blocking streets in antic- ipation of receiving early shipments at the pres ent date"

SEES END OF EMBARGO

''In my opinion, the embargoes against ship ments of lumber and miscellaneous freights will be relieved to great extent in the next two or three weeks, <aid A. J. Ribe, traffic manager for large number of firms, including about 75 lumber companies. "This is due to the fact that the railroads which have been purchasing coal in the Birmingham district have cancelled their orders in great num- Der of cases, and this will relieve the conges- ton out of Birmingham. This condition has also prevailed in Tennessee and Kentucky, where non-union mines operated and vii. be relieved in those states also, which will help shipments moving through those states origi- hating in the Birmingham district"

HIGH PRICES FOLLOW THE TWO STRIKES

The country is paying the cost of the two strikes in mounting prices, which are no more pleasing to the manufacturer and jobber than they are to the consumer Unexampled con- sumption at reasonable prices was at hand when the two strikes gradually checked production, caused northern mills and furnaces to close down, restricted delivery and finally created a nervous and unhealthy rise in prices. De- mand has gotten far ahead of supply and busi- ness men are offering bonuses for spot de- liveries.
 The Western Lumberman observes: Prices are advancing as they always do when orders exceed supply, but leading manufacturers are very hopeful of preventing runaway market, which would, in the end, work injury to them selves as well as to the consumer"
 Manufacturers know that prices may rise, as they have in the past, to prohibitive mar gin, and when that occurs, buyers worm out of contracts, while still others simply shut up \shop and quit buying. That causes slump ln manufacturing and idleRess among work Es. That is why they do not regard with Tor the rise of $10 in 10 days in the price

PAPER MAKING IN THE SOUTH

From the Selma Times Journal.
 A matter that should be of interest to every newspaper publisher in the south and to every consumer of paper in large quantities is the att tention southern pine forests are now receiv- ing as sources of wood pulp supply at the hands of the representatives of some of the leading paper mills of the country Oliver M. Porter, an authority in all matters pertaining to paper and it's manufacture, writing in current sisue of the Paper and Pulp Industry, says that the southern pine forests are now being looked to as sources of their raw material by the big mills of the north Captain Porter says: "The for ests of Canada and the great northwest are be- ing rapidly denuded. A survey of the avail able supplies of spruce, hemlock and balsam pulpwood indicates universal shortage. This approaching scarcity, together with the sup plies of cheap labor and fuel in the south, indi- cate unusual opportunities for the development of the paper industry in the southern states A tract of southern short-leaf timberland would produce pulpwood not less than four times as fast tract of equal area in the north or in Canada Chemical problems, likewise could be solved in behalf of the southern field"
 The late E. w. Barrett publisher of The Bir- mingham Age-Herald, sensed the outstanding possibilities of converting our limitless south ern pine forests into paper and demonstrated the practical side of the problem by having one whole edition of his paper printed on paper stock made from wood pulp thus obtained There cannot be any uncertainty regarding the suitability of the pine tree for paper-making purposes. Its adaptability cannot be questioned and only the manufacturing end of the problem remains to be worked out. To find the means wide scale to make paper out of the short leaf pine forests of the south would introduce a source of wealth from unexpected and an ignored field that would mean untold millions to the people.
