THE STORY SO FAR: Charlotte
Cherry Rawlings, an orphan since she
was seven years old, has been at Saint
Dorothea's school for girls. She knows
almost nothing about her early history,
but has gradually come to realize that
like the other girls at the school she has
no family, and she questions whether
she has the right to her fathers name.
She develops into . very attractive
girl, and has . nair for writing the
schools plays and arranging their
tableaux. She Is In the costume Of an
Indian chiefs daughter, having appeared
in one Of her own plays, when Judge
Judson Marshbanks, her co-guardian
with Emma Haskell, trained nurse,
appears to arrange for her to leave the
school. She remembers that Emma
nursed her mother before her death, and
Judge Marshbanks tells her that Emma
has gotten her secretarial position with
the very wealthy Mrs. Porteous Porter
of San Francisco, where Emma Is now
housekeeper.
Now continue with the story.

year due to the fact that several
sources of the club income will be
greatly slashed due to effects Of the
war effort. Shells are practically
unobtainable, so the chances of hav-
ing trap shoot next fall are rather
slim. These shooting events bring q
large source of income to the club
treasury. With so many men in the
army, it is predicted the hunting and
fishing license sales might fall of
considerably. If this happens the
club will lose another important
source of income. With these possi-
bilities for loss of revenue, it
stands to reason the increasing MEM
bersnip will have to reach goal of
at least 500 members to carry the
load cf a 5000 budget for the COM
ing year. Again we urge you folks

The housewives in this area are
gning to have to step to keep up
with Jess Manages in the country
wide drive for more fats to fry the
Axis. As a result of the govern
ment's request for fur buyers to
save the skinned carcases of fur
hearing animals that they purchase,
Jesse has been doing his bit. He
says that he has sold three tons of
carcasses to the fat rendering plant
at Wapakoneta. The carcass of one
muskrat alone will make the filings
for three 40 m. m. shells which
simply means that each animals
carcass will contribute one shell to
] each of the Axis partners.
This year Jesse has handled ap-
proximately 5000 muskrats. 100
raccoon, 200 oppossum, 15 mink, Is
weasel and 10 skunk. Of the 5000
muskrat pelts bought, 1131 of these
were purchased the first seven days
of the season. The raw fur season
was sluggish at the opening due to
the warm weather and an unsettled
market at the beginning of the sea-
son. Prices raised as colder weather
came on, however, and at the end of
the season the top prices paid to
trappers were: muskrats, $40;
mink, $3.50; coon, $500; while the
lowly oppossum remained at 35 and
90 cents.
The largest fur catch reported
among our club members were those
of Myron Stratton with over $50
muskrats and Albert Garmatter with
sixteen coon. Among the young
trappers who had especially good
catches were Roger and Scott Muir
ray, Roy Matter, Darrell Carr, and
John Dunbar. These catches in
cluded mostly rats, although Matter
and Carr were lucky enough to nab
a mink.
Trapping is not confined strictly
to men, reports show that women
also know how to bring in the fur,
Miss Clarabel Owens has reported a
catch of over so muskrats and vel
say that's doing o. X.

/ was only seven, but I knew that
something was wrong. Nothing was
left for me, no pictures of anyone,
no letters or names. This school,
you know, isn't like an ordinary
school. We know we aren't like 9TH

strange history-no letters, no going

"Dressmaking, bookkeeping, Ste

from trying terribly hard to make
