into q llfellke little figure. Phyllis de-
dded that she liked the model and
would keep on working until she had
complete set of dogs.
Well-Phyllis is still trying to get
that set. Not that she has stopped
modelling. To the contrary. But
just as soon as she finishes a dog
model she finds she has a customer.
In the past two years she estimates
she has made about 200 figures and
has sold more than 100. The others
have been given to friends eager for
. sample of her art.
She's repeated the process so often
that Phyllis finds she can complete
almost any little model in about two
hours Of work, once she starts with
the clay.
THAT doesn't take into account the
time she takes studying her sub
Ject before she settles down to work,
however.
Many OF her orders are for models
OF her customers pets. In such case,
in order to picture the individuality
OF the subject, she feels that it is best
to become acquainted with the ami
mails and to memorize its outstanding
points before beginning work.
When it is not possible to see the
dog Phyllis studies pictures of the
animal and receives an additional de-
scription from the owner.
The hardest order she has filed was
received just before Christmas from
one OF her teachers at Western High
School, she said. The teacher wanted
q model OF pet Pekingese as gift
for her mother. Unfortunately, the
pet was in another city, and there
were no photographs available.
Phyllis was given detailed descrip-
ton of the Peke, however, and her
customer reported that the gift was
received with much enthusiasm
Another interesting order she filled
during the holidays was for the model
Of q 15-year-old poodle. which is now
blind with age. This job, too, proved
satisfactory to the owners.
A T THE :noment, Phyllis finds that
dog models small enough for
charm bracelets are popular with high
school students She has made
number of these which she sells at
just a little lower price than her
usual models, which bring between Is
and so cents each.
All of her models are done in clay,
but when they are covered with shell
lac or house paint they give the ap-
pearance of being metal figures
When she began modelling dogs,
Phyllis had never studied art, but re-
Gently she enrolled for course with
q private teacher. Up to now she has
always planned to be a veterinarian
and that's still her ambition-though
she has about decided that in the
meantime she might as we'll expand
her business Of modelling dogs.

Last summer went with my fam

There was fresh wind blowing and
soon mother got seasick.
Then the boat started leaking, not
much at first, but it got worse and we
had to take turns at the pump. Then
suddenly a windstorm came up: the
wind howled in the rigging and the
boat heeled. so we thought the mast
was going to break. Great big waves
washed over the boat and the cabin
was full of water. with dishes, food

we could pump it out.
MY mother and I were afraid. We
thought we were gone We were out
in the middle of the bay, but a while

we were glad, even though it was far

finally ran the boat aground.

FinIands Name.

THE name Finland has nothing to
do with the fin Of fish, as one
might be excused for thinking at first
glance. True, the country has long
seacoast bordering ON the Baltic, but
inland there are many lakes surround
ed by marshes and connected by
gliStening streams and canals. Many
years ago regions like this were called
fens.
Thus the little country in the north
ern part Of Europe became known as
fen-land, or marsh-land, and, - the
years passed and people spoke care
leesly. it, name changed to Finland.

To Add New Subjects
The three rooms for manual train
ing and domestic science vii enable
courses to be offered in these very
practical and much needed fields
very much desired by a great num-
Der of the people of the community.
These courses will provide a cur
riculum in manual arts comparable
to that offered by the other two high
schools of Lincoln county and thus
provide the people of this western
end of the county with high school
course that~is complete, full, prac-
teal and modern. The students of
this part of the county need these
courses and are entitled to them
and with your support at the bond
election, they will get them.
The cost of this bond issue to the
taxpayer who has house and prop
erty with an assessed valuation
of $1,500.00 will not exceed soc a
year. If the bond issue carries it
will also enable the school district
to take advantage of an outright
grant from the federal government
in the amount of 500, 10000 of PWA
money to build a much better build
ing and equip it with modern up to
date equipment throughout. APP
plication for this PWA grant has al
ready been made but we shall be
unable to secure this money unless
the bond issue carries at the polls
July %. Another thing to keep in
mind is that it is necessary to get
out 40 per cent of the qualified cleo
tors to vote at the polls in order
to meet the legal requirement OF
the statutes on bond elections. Al
SO bear in mind that school district
No. has no bonds outstanding al

| ing been paid off about a year ago
Also we should realize that our

Troy High School District To Hold School
Bond Election Saturday, July 3

TROY, June 29.-The Troy High
School district board of trustees
adopted a resolution last Wednesday
evening at special meeting setting
the date of the school bond election
for July % with the polls open from
1900 noon to 800 p. m. The purpose
of the election is to issue bonds in
the amount of S28,00000 against the
LIye- High School distriet-re-
Gently established as one of the three
high school districts into which Lin
coin county has lately been divided
for high school bonding purposes
only. The new Troy High School
district is comprised of school dis
tricts Nos. /, 2, 3, Is, % and "a, six
in all, the qualified registered vot-
ers of which whose names appear on
the last completed assessment roll,
that is for 1887, having vote at
this election.
New Addition Needed
The purpose of the bond issue is
10 secure funds to provide portion
of the cost of new addition to the
Troy High School building in order
to provide more room for a badly
crowded school, and to make posi-
BILE additional room for setting up
courses in manual training and do
mestic science. The plans also call
for new hall-auditorium room so
that the present study hall may be
cut up for two more grade rooms to
relieve the congestion in the first
five grades The fourth and fifth
grade room this year had SIS pupils
crowded into one room which was
originally built for 80 pupils. Next
year the advance enrolment shows
an unusually crowded condition will
exist in all three OF the lower grade
rooms, the enrolment being be-
tween 4Qr-and so pupils in each of
the three rooms. This condition of
course violates the state require
ment of cubic feet of air space per
child not to say anything about the
difficulty of doing the best kind of
work under those conditions.
The new high school study hall
will relieve a crowded condition in
the present study hall which was
crowded with extra seats this year
with more coming into high school
next year than graduated this
spring. The new study-hall will also
be large enough to comfortably seat
large school entertainment crowds
