Dear Mr.. Ostby:

questing two hundred word theme
in letter form to you.
AS each day goes by 1 realize more
and more that work is accomplished
effort. What work l have put into
Club Work / think I have accom-
plished a great goal and have been
fully rewarded in two ways: First,
that things I have done in the past /
did in a very awkward way, since
learning to Go them the correct way
by the instructions of club leader
and club material. Second; that
things I do in the future that l have
learned to do through club instruction
will be more like play than work and
will probably be a greater success.
When l first entered club work I
was a member of the Outlook Can
ming Club. The work seemed so I'M
interesting as it seemed impossible
for me to come to meetings and par
take in cub activities; but when in the
Sewing Club I was able to attend
more meetings and was present to see
Miss Ingram at both judgings of our
two years of work.
Our club then became a breakfast
club, which seems to me the most in
teresting of all; that continual record
of breakfasts and articles made seem
ed to me like keeping a diary, which
think is a pleasure
l have been in three demonstration

Russell claimed IS days at SO for
acting as foreman of a road construc-
ton camp. The examiner points out
that such duties are not within the
province of a commissioner and if
they had been performed, the county
commissioner should charge no more
than any other laborers or a wage
OF $3.50 or 81 per day.
Beers, says the examiner, charged
IS per day for assisting a surveyor
lay out county road. Stephens pre-
sented claim for S139.91 at So a dav
for supervising road construction
and also for acting in charge of a
road crawling crew.
Court action taken at Thompson
Falls is not for collection of the
money or on criminal charges, the ac-
ton being in the nature of custer
proceedings.

Beard of Ancients.

Very few men now wear boards.
but in biblical times the beard was a
cherished and a sacred thing.
The old Hebrew traditions drew
Adam as a man with a long, bushy
beard, and for years this tradition
was accepted as law. 1t was the out
ward and visible sign Of true man.
To touch it lightly was to gravely
insult it's owner, and If a man swore
by his beard, it was the highest oath
that he could take.
Children and relatives might touch
this cherished thing, but only as a
symbol of love. The Egyptians were
all cleanly shaven, but after their
bondage there the Jews brought their
boards safely with them when they
left the country. That their captors
were impressed with the beard is
shown by the fact that on feast days
they themselves decorated their chins
with false hair.
The Greeks also wore boards, but 1t
Is said that Alexander the Great, that
famous Macedonian warrior, ordered
all his soldiers to shave. It seems
that beard gave soldiers enemy a
handle by which to lay hold of the
unlucky Greek.
Europeans also were bearded peo-
pie during their early days. At pres
ent the institution remains chiefly in
Germany. Fashion has brought them
back from time to time in other coun-
tries, but at present 1t seems that men
in all the Caucasian countries, at least,
have definitely decided to expose their
chins without heavy covering of
hair,
