Father.

A father hides his hurts as a war
rior binds his wounds. Your father
may suffer a whole lot of disappoint-
ments, but he wears his heart turned
outside in. You will probably never
know his hurts.
His voice will not betray his in
most thoughts for he is real man.
His face may reflect pride, love, joy'
but there is misteriousness about
your father when it comes to things
that hurt.
Do not think for one moment that ne
has no heart. He has a heart bigger
than you think. Your father is what
nature gave you as a private banker
How often you have regarded the
prohibitive mind Of your father as
a wall between you and some pleasure
and have found it later shield to
protect and lead to higher happiness
Have faith in your father, for he
knows. He has paid the penalty. he
is not an angel, nor does he want
to be one Just now. He wants to be
a support, living help, and you know
he has been.
When you help your father, you
help yourself. He is the man who
hurried home when you were babe,
and held you while you kicked. Why
kick now against your father?
Dad is your father, your friend
It was Benjamin Franklin who said:
"My father convinced me that moth
ing was useful which was not hon
est" Benjamin had good father
and it's dollars to buttons that your
father today is a better man than you
are. If he isn't. owe you an apology
and IN glad Of 1.-THE Silent Part
ner.

School Books Adopted for 1922-1923

The State Board of Education in its
recent adoption of text books to be
used in the public schools for the next
five years allowed many options. Two
books were offered in a number of
cases, which will result in lack of
uniformity throughout the state unless
the various county boards make re-
adoption. Wherever the matter is
left to the different schools, it is Ger
tain that few schools will use exactly
the same list of books, which will re-
suit in much confusion to teachers,
patrons and children and, in many
cases, children who change schools
will be forced to buy second list Of
books during the year. This can be
avoided, however, if each county board
of education will settle on a definite
list of books to be used in that county,
which many county boards are doing.
The Williamsburg County Board of
Education recently called a meeting
for the purpose of making readop-
ton for the county. A committee of
teachers Of the county served with the
board Of education in selecting q list
Of books from the state list. Wher-
ever two books were offered, the basal
was adopted except in two cases as
follows: Language in the third, fourth
and fifth grades; science in the ninth
grade. This means that all schools
in the county will use the same text
books the coming school year. These
new books have been placed in the
county school book depository, Scott
Drug Company, Kingstree, s. c., and
all schools will be able to secure books
promptly at the beginning Of the
session. A complete list Of the books
to be used in Williamsburg county will
be published in the next issue Of The
County Record, and all teachers and
patrons are requested to refer to this
list at the beginning of the school.
However, each and every text book
in use under the old adoption Of 1917
1922 ought to be completed before a
new book on this subject Is purchased.
The exchange period Of these old text
books ends December Is. 1928. This
will allow eighteen months in which
to complete these old books.
The discarding Of these books in a
lump in any school would be most
injudicious and wasteful. Only after
the former texts have been utilized
AMI completed should new books be
bought. Under this plan the gradual
of new books may be ac-
compIished at minimum cost. If a
pupil has a perfectly good book under
the old adoption, let him finish it be-
fore he buys new one.

The Montana timber wolf is max
ing such a hit among the motion pic
ture producers that an order has been
sent Eckert for some more wolves.
About six weeks ago Eckert and Joe
Brandle, a rancher near the High
wood ranger station, captured seven
wolf pups from a den in the noun
tains and they have been sold to
Trimble and Murfin and will be ship
ped to the motion picture colony.
The pups are about two months old
and are as gentle as ordinary collie
puppies, he said.
The wolf Trixie was leased to the
motion picture company and will ab-
pear in several pictures of the north
land before she is returned to her
ranger owner. The wolf, captured
when just puppy. is unusually in
telligent and as gentle and good nat
ured as dog. which makes her very
popular in the motion picture colony
where she is now 'acting."
Eckert has spent q great deal Of
time In the mountains looking for a
giant snow-white wolf, believed to be
the leader Of the Highwood pack that
has made many daring raids among
the stock in that section during the
winter months. At times the wolves
became so bold that they entered the
corrals Of ranchers and killed many
calves. A few months ago the wolves
killed q Shetland pony belonging to
Sam Stephenson Of Great Falls, the
foresters reported, who found the car
cass Of the pony on Stephenson's
ranch.
The white wolf has been seen sew
eral times, but has always been out
Of rifle range, Eckert said. He is
bigger than the ordinary gray wolves
and q believed 20 be Q freak rather
than . cross, foresters say.
The Highwoods long have been a
famous rendezvous for timber wolves
and although the packs virtually
were exterminated q couple of years
ago by q government trapper, packs
have drifted down from Canada, it is
believed, and the mountains are now
harboring several packs. The wolves
are prolific and multiply rapidly. The
few dens that have been located all
have contained large litters Of pups.
One den, discovered by Indians in the
a1ghWoods, contained II pups, the
ranger reported.
Local foresters suggest that if it's
realism that's wanted by the motion
picture companies the Highwoods are
one Of the most natural rendezvous
for wolves In the west and would be
an ideal background for scenes of the
north which feature wolves in the

WISCONSIN GIRLS
WALK THRU STATE
TRAVEL WITH SIX.GUNS AT
THEIR HIPS; GLORY IN
JAIL RECORDS
On Walking Tour Through Western
States, They Earn Their Way; Ar
rested by Several Ultra C0nserva.
tive Policemen, but Released ON
Production Of Credentials.

Travelling in old western style,
with six-sho0ters at their hips, two
ken0sha, Wis.,, girls, who are maxi
ing hiking tour through the west
ern states and earning their way as
they 60, arrived in Billings recently.
The girls have already traversed II
states in their long journey, and
their experiences have been many
and varied. They rejoice in their rec
ord of having been three times lodg-
ed in Jail by conservative "cops" who
disappr0ved of their exemplification
OF the wild and woody legends of the
past.
Agnes Bolt and Hazel Jensen, II
and 18 years old. are the two girls
who last February left their homes at
"a Park Row. Kenosha, and struck
the trail for the west. Their route
has taken them through Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, New
Mexico. Arizona, California, Oregon,
Washington, Idaho and Montana.
They have held to the Yellowstone
Trail since leaving Seattle and ex-
pect to travel upon It until they
reach home. They are now looking
forward to q new tour which will
take them to Alaska.
I'VE were first arrested at Santa
Fe and then at Albuquerque. The
police thought we had run away from
home and they weren't satisfied with
our credentials from the mayor of
Kenosha, but got in touch with our
parents to find. out II they wanted,
us returned. At Los Angeles, they
objected to US carrying the guns-it
was carrying concealed weapons al
though we wore them in holsters.
The next morning, though, they
threw bunch Of flowers through the
bars to us and then let US out. It
was the finest jail we were in on the
whole trip
The girls were asked II they didn't
want to visit the city bastile at Bill
lings but declined with thanks. They
stated that they had secured a job
with a farmer several miles west of
Billings and would work there few
days before resuming their trip.
I'VE came in here broke" the
spokesman related. 'But that's our
plan. We always aim to spend all
that we have made before we start
for the next town. When we need
a meal, we arrange to work for it.
Our jobs have been of all kinds, but
we usually try working on a farm.
We have a big bunch Of clippings
about our trip-some Of them real
funny. The idea Of our carrying
guns seems to strike the people in
the west as especially amusing"

TAKES WILD RIDE
IN OLD AUTO TIRE
VENTURSOME YOUTH MAKES A
NOISE LIKE A HOOP AND
ROLLS INTO POND

What began as bit Of boyish fun
developed into near-tragedy and
ended as comedy when a small
Butte lad took wild ride down a
steep hill in an old automobile tire.
The chief actor. however, did not see
any fun in the climax.
Boys in and around Butte have
always taken kindly to abandoned
automobile tires. Rolling them down
hill is the most common form of
amusement.
One little fellow conceived an idea
"a real circus idea-for a novel
stunt with big tire which came into
possession of himself and other boys.
It was a big stiff tire. one of the
kind used on the rear wheels Of heavy
trucks. He got inside the tire, braced
his head and shoulders and feet up
against the inner sides, and gave the
word:
''Turn 'er loose
They turned her loose.
Starting off gently at first, amid
the cheers Of his companions, 1t was
very celebrating, this first head up
then head down. Then the speed be-
came accelerated, and soon It was
impossible to distinguish rubber
tire from small boy, so rapid were
the revolutions.
It was here that the near-tragedy
started. The other parties to the
sport were unable to keep up with the
tire and its human freight. They
were outdistanced, totally outclassed.
The combination was going down a
grade over q smooth pavement and
straight toward the cemetery. The
kids left out of the race began to
scent the coming disaster.
Their shouts attracted the atten-
ton of larger lad who was close to
the path Of the moving mass. He
got in the way, gave 1t a kick and
caused 1t to swerve from its course
into a side street.
Over the sidewalk Of a vacant lot
went the tire and the boy. On that
lot there was fairly deep depression
which recent rains had turned into
small pond.
Plump into that pond went tire and
boy. They made an awful splash and
not only dashed the water into foam
but stirred up the mud. It was the
mul as much as anything else that
stopped the wild journey.
The small boy was soon dug out
practically breathless. But with the
usual small boy vitality he was soon
able to stand up and start off with
his companions. He was wiser and
dirtier boy.
