legion After Members

The Legion census is on. Every
waE veteran in the county is being
sought BY American Legion officials
in an effort to get complete inform

record, disability due to service,
back pay due, unemployment, and
much other data, which can be OBJ
tanned only through an interview.
This census Is being undertaken by
the Pocshontas Post, whose adult
ant has enough blank forms for the
entire county.
The Legion is obtaining this data

interpret the needs of the veteran

are to be sought out whether mem

At the end OF this census It will
be known for the first time what
forms of adjusted compensation the
veterans prefer. Much has been said
on this question but nothing found

various measures of relief, such as

about So have responded to date.
Those who mail in their contribu-
lions greatly assist the work of the

necessities of life needed to sustain
some little or big family who is up

and nothing laid by to buy the nee
esSary things to sustain the home.
To those who have the God-given
blessing Of happy home and the
things that go to make it comfortable.

Floods Of Poison

Floods are common on most rivers,
but a food which brings down poi
soned waters, sufficient to kill every
thing in its vicinity is, fortunately,
not so frequent Such a food has
been known to occur in South Ameri-
car, where the Apare, the largest
tributary of the Orinoco, once swept
down, and presently the startled
settlers on the plains bordering it's
banks saw that hundreds Of dead
crocodiles were floating down with
the refuse.
Soon every crocodile in the river
was doomed. AS the flood reached
them they crept out Of the water
coughing horribly, and fell and died.
Not only the crocodiles, but the
fish, too. were poisoned. Acres upon
acres Of the wide river were literally
covered with the purifying bodies Of
its finny inhabitants.
Worse was to come. The swamp
animals. the wild hogs, capybaras,
and the like became afflicted with a
sort Of paralysis, and died by the
thousand.
The monkeys were the next vic
tins. and then the horses.
Lastly. it fell upon the people, too,
and very nearly exterminated them.
Great grassy plains lie silent and
desolate, deserted alike by man and
beast.
Practically all life has been ex-
terminated by tn poison swept down
out of those terrible swamps at the
source Of the Apare.

English Place Names

The charm Of English place names

of them seem Indigenous. At any rate
they are all rooted deep, from what

and Danish names have been wealth.

turtles Of English history that one re-

are not English in origin. Only the
Norman names have the slightest
tincture OF foreign suggestion about
them. French is still a rather tender
exotic which needs to be trained
against the sunny southern wall OF
the language. Beaulieu does not seem

Colby Football Squad
Works in Rain and Mud

In the drizzling rain and under the
meanest kind Of footing, the Colby
mentor and his assistants put the foot
ball squad through the hardest after
Moons work they have yet had The
rain, which came down in sheets at
times. made the going doubly hard but
there was no let-up for the would-be
football heroes until after dark.
Under the direction Of Assistant
Coach Young. several Of the most
promising men were drilled time and
time again in the art of booting the
oval for good distance. The men
who loom up big in this department
Of the game so far are HUM. Tarpey
and Snow. The men were given the
ball and made to get off quick punts
and drop kicks, many of which looked
fair.
Coach Snow. with the help of Pro-
fessor Newman, took the linemen aside
and ran them through the many often
sive and defensive plays they had
learned over again. Sullivan was used
first as a guard and then as an end,
and he surely belongs in the latter po
stion, as he has an uncanny way of
nabbing the oval when it sails through
the atmosphere
A hard scrimmage with some of the
good old fight put the men in a place
to show just what they did have in
them. Team A and Team B lined up
and went to it tooth and nail Levee
and Sadowsky generated the B team
and made their opponents take notice,
as they ripped off gain after gain
through the supposedly stonewall de-
tense. With HUM in the fullback po-
sition Team A rushed the other team
up the field in short order. HUM
surely can hit the line with a terrific
impact and breaks through after SEEM
ing to he down. The scrmmage was
continued until it was too dark to see
and the squad was dismissed.
If the weather is clear today the
teams will go through the last hard
scrimmage before the game with
Bates.

Deep Reason Behind ChiId's Fear of
Stranger

You have noticed how child flies
to it's mother on the approach of a
stranger. The little one will cling
to its mothers skirts and try to hide
its face
The fear of strangers is an instinct
which. although it becomes dorma mt
when the child grows older, is never
theless passed on TO his or her chill
drcn.
|. Through thousands of years the
child's fear has come down from the
dark days of human existence, when
the primeval mother fed, with her
child, in mortal terror, for safety to
the swamps.
In those days savages lived in
clans, which preyed upon each other,
and maraudcrs from one clan would
visit another to carry off a woman
for a slave or a child for food
Our heritage Of terror is seen even
in the play Of young children. When
a child peers round the corner Of
table, and suddenly draws back in
hiding, we have a modern illustration
Of what it had to do years ago.
hunting. the women sat around the
entrance of their cave homes. The
children played outside, ever watch
full. Upon spying a stranger a child
would fly in terror to its mother, who
fed to the utermost end of the cavern
cavern
Frequently a general raid was
made, when most women and chill
dren were captured. The few women
who escaped never forgot their
fright, and the instinct of terror was
born in the future children.
That's why we have game called
hide and seek" Under different
names it is played by the children of
all nations. A child hides behind a
curtain and pretends to fear, and,
when discovered, utters cries of
alarm, and attempts to fee from the
stranger who seeks his prey.
