Last week Mr.. Tucker, of Hover,
in the first line of his commune
cation expressed compliment to
the editor of this paper which is
greatly appreciated. He said we
were optimistic. We have another
good friend who used to be in bus
mess here. Every once in while
he would come UP to the printing
office to "get hoped up, as he
used to say. When things looked
particularly blue and business con-
ditions were depressing he said
he needed to bask in a glow Of op-
timism. We feel that this is one
OF the real functions Of a local
newspaper-to tell the world about
the good and cheerful things. We
have consistently tried to follow
this policy and are real pleased to
find that our efforts have been
somewhat successful.

Many towns that are not fort
innate enough to have the "talkies''
in their midst would give a good
deal to have this form of enter
tainment for their citizens and
residents of their trade territory.
A good "talkie" in a community
gives it an atmosphere that makes
any place livelier spot in which
to live. However, in order to con-
tinue to do it's part in commun-
ity, such an institution must have
the generous support of the COM
munity or like any other business,
it cannot continue to operate.

INDIAN PICTURE.WORDs

That the Indians of Mexico knew how to make picture-words be- fore. white men arrived, is widely known; but many persons suppose that other Indians were without any means of writing.
 Example of Indian picture-writing.
 It is true that Indians of Canada and the United States did not have complete systems of picture-writ- ing, but some of them did know how to express certain words by writing. Birch-bark was used as paper, and berry juice was used as ink.
 Among Indian picture-words was a sketch of the rising sun, was provided with eyes and a mouth.
 A wavy line was used to mean river" by some tribesmen.
 The word hearing" was ex- pressed by a picture of head, with wavy lines extending from the sides-as if sound were travel ing into the ears.
 Speaking was written by the picture of a face with a wavy line extending from the mouth.
 Seventy years ago, a chief of the Ojibway Indians declared that his tribe had used picture-writing long before the coming of white men, and that more than 200 picture words were in general use.
 The chief gave example of Ojib- way picture-words. Sun" was a circle, with rays around the edge. Moon was crescent. Life" was a circle enclosing white space. Death" was circle enclosing a black space. Spirit" was circle with dot at the center.
 "Water god" was sketch of a snake. "Wounded water god" was a snake with an arrow in its body.
 The Ojibway picture-word for 'sdream" was a sketch of a man lying on the ground, with wavy line extending from his head.
 In addition to birch-bark, the Ojibway Indians used slate for their writing. It was their custom to keep record of important events. The record was placed in a hollow log, and the log was buried in hole about IS feet deep.
 Fifteen years later the record was dug up, and was read by the wise men of the tribe. Then 1t was buried again. with new records.

S200, 100000 Building
 Program for All Col- . Ieges and $100,OOO,- ! 900 for Maintenance

Johnsonburg, N. J.. Sept B. (UF)-Harvey N. Davis, president of Stevens Institute of Technology, has proposed a $200,000,000 build ing program and the expenditure of $f00, 100000 for maintenance by the colleges of the United States as an unemployment relief measure.
 ".There are more than 1000 col leges in the country, and feel cer- tain that the responsible head of each could name offhand several new buildings that he badly needs to carry on his present work ef- Actively" Davis said.
 If we assume an average press- ing need per college of only one $20O,0O0 building, including it's equipment, the potential capital in- vestment absorbing power of this suggestion is more than $200,000,- GOO, . sum considerably larger than the emergency public works appro- priation recently voted by con- gress.
