black setter dog with long hair.

pulled by Wilbur and Orville
Wright, who were also ringmas

Bird Johnston. There was a
splendid stuffed bear, a stuffed
deer, with handsome 6-pronged
horns, and stuffed eagle with
wings wide spread. The panther

than he really was-for it was one
of the boys, Harry Morrow, son of.

ARABS JOURNEY TO
SEvASTOPOL ROOM

The children of the second
grade of Sevastopol have fixed a
corner of the room as though part
of Arabia were here with the
Arabs.
The tent is white with red de-
sign on it. They also have palm
trees here (made of sticks with
green plumes fastened near the
end).
The Arabs are also here, for they
are dolls dressed as Arabs. Arabia

SO real
The children of this room are

Remember that funny little
verse, Riley made up, which tells
about plans boys made about
what they were going to do when
they grew up
II goes like this:
when little Dickie Swope's man,
He's go to be Sailor;
An little Hamey Tincher, he's
Ago to be Tailor:
Bud Mitchell, he's ago to be
A stylish Carriage-Maker;
An when ! grow grealbig man,
I'm go to be Baker!"
And sometimes we grow up to
be what we think we'd like to be
when we're kids and go on work
ing with what we had fun with
then, - and, sometimes - we do
something different!
We thought of this verse as we
have been hearing stories this past
week from people who knew and
played with the Wright brothers
when they lived in Richmond as
boys, telling about the fun these
boys had with the other boys in
their neighborhood. AS some peo-
pie have asked to see the stories
published and as we have so much
enjoyed the stories we have heard
OF these boys, some OF them later
destined to be world famed, we are
glad to tell junior readers a little
about them.
Indiana May Boast First
Telephone System
Early in 1880 and for several
years later there were no tele-
phones in Richmond, not even in
Indiana. But news travels fast
where there are SO many books
and papers and magazines, and so
one day, Wilbur Wright and Gan
sey Johnston, two Richmond boys
about IL years old, who lived next
door to each other, read in the
Scientific American about the in
vention of the telephone At once
they set to work to make one like
the one described in the magazine.
Taking several baking powder cans
and some rope and wires, these
boys fixed up telephones in the up
stairs rooms of the two homes, Just
opposite each other. These were
joined by wires. The boys decided
to tie ropes from the telephones
around their feet and when they
awoke in the morning. the one who
awoke first should pull on the rope
to wake the other one and then
they could talk. And talk they did
it might have been cas-
Ter to throw up both windows and
call across, they made all sorts of
plans over this telephone sys-
tem," the first in Indiana.
1t is interesting now. for us to
see that one of these boys, Wilbur,
with his brother, became the first
successful aviator in the world,
and that Gansey is now president !

GRONNA ASKS MORE
CREDIT FOR FARMERS

St. Paul, MIMI, Dec. 3O.-Former
Senator A. j. Gronna of Lakota, N. D.,
gave an address before joint con-
gressional committee investigating
short time rural credits in which he
appealed for a credit system that
would give relief to the farmer with
small acreage as well as the farmer
whose holdings are larger
The former senator said in part:
1.-The United States senate has been
responsible for the failure to pass
former farm relief measures by
amending them to death and pulling
the teeth out of the laws after the
house had passed them," said Mr..
Gronna.
Defends N. ID. Conditions
ut is foolish to say that market
ing of products should not be consid-
cred in relief measures. Would you
start to make repairs on a house
when a fire had started and threatened
to burn it down? Can you business
men and merchants say you are op-
posed to socialism and government
ownership? Unless the business in
terests are willing to deal with the
basic industry Of the nation - farm
ing - do you blame the farmers for
grasping at any straw to better con-
ditions? Today we are facing not
a panic, but world crisis He said
progressive legislation was needed to
end that crisis.
