Uncle Roy's Corner
BY RAMON COFFMAN.

When did bells first begin to ring
That question has been something
Of puzzle. Years ago the claim
was made that Bishop Paulinus was
the f1rst to use bells on . church In
Italy about $500 years ago. Some
persons have supposed that bells
were not known before the time Of
Christ.
Many proofs have been found
however that bells were used long
before the Christian faith spread
over Europe. Little bells, looking
very much like modern sleigh bells,
seem to have been rung In ancient
Egypt, during the feast of the god
dess Isis.
A century ago a British traveller
grew interested in ruins he saw
beside the Tiger River. He believed
they were the remains Of Nineveh,
capital Of the old empire Of Assyria.
The traveller was Sir Austen Lay
ard. He spent several years digging
into big mound, and inside he
discovered walls of palace. Among
the many objects he discovered were
small bronze bells. These bells were
made Of 10 parts Of copper and one
part OF tin. They date back more
than $500 years.
A record Of Roman times tells us
that, Augustus placed bells on the
temple OF Jupiter. Augustus was the
ruler Of the Roman empire during
the time of Jesus.
Bells were used in Ireland during
early times. One of these, known
as "the Bell of Patricks viii" may
be seen at Belfast, Ireland. It is

alone" said he, "but I can't do 1t.
You are a nuisance, and so you have
got to 60 If I have to come here
and break lip your nest every day
all summer"
A day or two after that Farmer
Browns boy found no nest when he
put his hand in the hollow Of the
tree. "At last they've given up"
thought he. II hope they have left
the Old Orchard for good" He was
almost out of the Old Orchard on
the other side when his sharp eyes
caught sight Of little bird just dis
appearing In hole in the very last
tree. He walked up and pounded on
the tree. Out popped-whom do you
think? why, Mrs. Bully. to be sure!
She and Bully we're bunding a nest
there. It took Farmer Browns boy
Evening star., 1942-07-15

and then perhaps Bully and his
wife would 60 away from the Old
Orchard.
But Farmer Browns boy didn't
know Bully. No, indeed! He didn't
know how persistent Bully can be.
The next day he visited the Old
Orchard to see II Bully had left
What do you think he found?
Why, he found shat Bully and his
wife had a new nest half built in
the verv same hole that the old one
had been in.
> He tore this to pieces only 20 md
another on the next day. And so
it was or the following day and
the day after that Farmer Browns
Boy just had to admire the spunk
and persistence Of Bully and Mrs.
Bully.

three days to make Bully and his
wife understand that they couldn't
build there or anywhere else in the
Old Orchard. Finally they gave up
and new away. And where do YOU
think they went? Why, straight
to Farmer Browns barn, and there
way up under the caves, where only
the longest ladder could reach them.
they built a nest and raised their
young. Farmer Browns boy said
that such boldness ana impudencs
deserved a reward and so long as
they were out OF the Old Orchard
and not bothering other birds he
would leave them alone.
And In the Old Orchard there was
great rejoicing, for now no one
wanted to move away, and every one
there looked on Farmer Browns
boy ~ their friend.

Bully the English Sparrow believes
in and tried to live up to. 1t is a
good motto. Yes, indeed, it is
very good motto. when it is rightly
used. You know that to persist
means to keep always trying and
trying over and over again. So
it is always perfectly splendid to
persist in things that are right. But
always be sure that you are right,
before you persist, because If you
don't you may fare no better than
did Bully.
When Farmer Browns boy pulled
Bullys nest out of the hole in the
apple tree in the Old Orchard and
tore 1t to pieces and carried away
the six eggs that were in it he
thought that Bully and his wife
would surely leave the Old Orchard.
That k why he did what seemed
Evening star., 1942-07-15

like such a dreadful thing. He
wanted them to leave the Old Or
chard, because he knew that if
they didn't the other birds would,
and that would be truly dreadful
He knew that other little feathered
people simply couldn't live with
such noisy, quarrelsome neighbors
as Bully and his wife, and wouldn't
live there. He knew that unless
something was done. the Bullys
would have the Old Orchard to
themselves the next spring, and then
how the worms and the insects
would thrive on the trees! But
he couldn't quite make up his mind
to kill or really hurt Bully and Mrs.
Bully, so he thought that If he took
their eggs and destroyed their nest
there couldn't be any baby sparrows
to grow up and make more trouble,

said to have been owned by St.
Patrick. 1t has four-sided form,
and six inches high, five inches wide
and four inches deep.
Bells Of the same type have been
saved in Scotland and Wales, as well
as In Ireland They were made from
thin sheets of iron which were ham
mered into shape, and may remind
us Of modern cowbells. Some Of
them are believed to be from 1,400
to 500 years old.
The largest and most famous bells
are those made for churches Almost
always they are of bronze, an alloy"
Of copper and tin.
For hundreds of years, church bells
have been cast in much the same
way. A bell core" of baked clay,
or OF bricks covered with clay, is
made. Then an outer mold Of clay
is prepared. The molten bronze is
poured into the space between the
two molds. where it is allowed to
cool. Then the molds are removed.

Report OF The Thanksgiving Drive OF
Yazoo County Training School,
Yazoo City, Miss.
By N. D. TAYLOR, Principal

We take pleasure in reporting to our school commu-
njtv the receipts and disbursement of the money rails
ed beginning with the opening of school in September,
and ending Thanksgiving night at the close of our
Thanksgiving concert
The teachers were asked to raise ten dollars each.
They did this by selling candy fruit and sandwiches at
the recess and time hour and supplemented by small
donations of parents, friends, and well Wishers.
These rallies each year because need the
money to keep school abreast of the times. The par
ens and who take the time to think about the stu
alton all know that the amount of money raised and
spent represents hardly half of what necessary to buy
football and basketball togs, pay guarantees Of from
1926 to $50 and travelling expenses for trips to
ether schools with athletic, Glee and Dramatic Clubs
Those wishing to verify the following report our
receipts and disbursements by examining the invoices,
receipts and records perfectly welcome to do at
fol
