The oratorical contest held here
last Sat. was a clean sweep for Sal
mon. Arco and Salmon being the only
schools in the district entering. Cha
Ills students We're urged over and
over to come out for this contest and
were given every opportunity, but
did not respond. Our Basket Ball
seemed to overshadow and push a
side all other interscholastic activity
This is not as it shold be. Self COM
mand before an audience is far more
practical value than skill in any ath-
letic contest.
Salmon school has carried Off hon
prs that it may well raise along side
of our Basket Ball triumph and feel
proud of them. It is hoped that Chal--
lis students may wake up to the value
oil the oratorical work and show the
same enthusiasm for It as for the
athletic contests as another seaon
approaches.

George, sis patience. OF course as

TOMMY AND GEORGE

Tommy hung on to the Wind, who
was taking him for trip, and all
the time the Wind flew along he
whistled gaily.
But the trip was not long one,
even during his early adventures. In
no time at all they were at the noun
tain top and the Wind introduced
Tommy to the great pond leader.
The trip really hadn't taken so long
after all. OF course he had been
enormously helped by this lift which
tie Wind had given him. Still IT
hadn't been so hard-save for the
time when he had almost stayed by
the lake below. After he had made
up his mind to come further it had
been easy.
Now he was at the top of the noun
tain and right in the heart of the top
of the mountain was pond-tne
loveliest pond he had ever seen.
In it were the, colors Of the sky.
In it were the colors of the moss and
ferns and flowers that were about. II
seemed to hold in itself all the love
Hest of shades and colors. And SO
close at hand seemed the sky, though
Tommy stretched up hand and founo
the sky, after ALL was nowhere with
in reach.
Sitting on stump, handsome ole
stump, sat big frog.
II want to introduce you to Mr.
George Green Frog" said the Wind
Georgia, meet Tommy"
"Goog- said George, MAKE
myself at home"
The Wind had gone off again, ant
Tommy was sitting by the edge o
the pond, very near the stump. H
thought he must have misunderstood
the frog.
'Thank you," Tommy answered, III
make myself quite at home"
| "Goog- a-room, didn't say that,
George gurgled. 81 said to myself
Make myself at home That make
me happy and puts you at ease. You
be i'll at ease I'm sure IL let a fl
or bug escape my nose. So jus
go on the same, whether I have con
pany or not"

Opinions on America
Are Aired at Geneva

Count Skrzynski. Polish foreign min

ton to the League of Nations assem-
bly,, has confided to his friends at
Geneva some of the impressions gain
ed during his recent trip to the United
States.
I'VE Europeans" he says. have
committed three grave errors In our
conversations with Americans since
the war. First. we have spoken Ill of
our own particular European enemy.
That makes a bad impression. Sec
ondly, We have nearly always asked
for money-which singularly weakens
our case. Thirdly, we have persisted
in trying to tell Americans what they
ought to do and how they ought to do
IT.
The men listen attentively to the
counts conclusions, but the women
listened quite as intently to the Amer
lean impressions of a young Polish at
tache who accompanied the count.
Three things in America" asserted
the attache, ARE wonderful--the jazz.
the skyscrapers and the women. But
three things are frightful-the cook
ing, the imitation European palaces
and the ignorance concerning foreign
aftairss"
