Zed was useful to the Nomads, so
they did not abuse him too much.
In those days, when everyone was
ordered by Caesars decree to 60 un-
to his native city to be enrolled for
taxation, Zed was sent scouting
among the travellers - the bandits
awaiting his report on who was
worth robbing.
The boy "fell in" with Eleazar
and his family. The family was a
happy household in comfortable cir
cumstances. Surrounded by her own
children, the mother embraced
the ragged child and, for the first
time in his life, Zed realized the
existance of love and kindness.
Zed did not dare to remain in
this new found paradise too long,
lest his masters think he was
awaiting an opportunity to assist
them in plumber.
Returning to the Nomad camp, he
reported Eleazar's outfit to be pow
erty stricken; then he slipped away
and sought "his tree" within whose
hollow crook he had secreted a
jewel held out from a previous rob-
berry.
Zed fondled the precious stone. He
knew what he would do; he was 60
ing to run away to Jerusalem and
there, having sold his jewel, he
would buy himself a mother.

waste paper now.
Wherever you see battery in
action anything from heavy how
tiers to mortars-there's bound to
be huge pile of paperboard shell
cases somewhere around. These
protected the ammunition all the
way from the factory to the front.
Even aerial bombs require large
amounts of paper in the shape of
the rings on which they are roll
ed,
The quantities of paper needed
on battlefronts are huge, and our
men can no more fight without
them than without steel. That's
why the War Production Board is
calling for 100000 extra tons of
waste paper this year.
I've seen advance battalion med
ical stations with doctors operating
calmly, unhurriedly, ignoring the
roars of the guns. The boys lay

all the paper wrappings from the

safely in paper.

would know how paper helps to

Senate Deletion of Mandatory Clause
Takes the Teeth Out of School Bill
Delegation Upholds Amendment -Four To Two, With New
ocmer and Tenney Voting No. Fate of PsyAsYouGo Par
In Doubt.

In telephone interview with
The Globe-1ndependent, Senator
Myers stated that he received so
many kilograms asking him to re-
move the mandatory clause, that
he polled the Delegates and, after
finding that four of the six agreed
to the substituting of the optional
for the mandatory clause, he made
the change.
The net result Of all this is, that
while the present Board Of County
Commissioners will undoubtedly
live up to their agreement, they can
only provide 100000 for major
school improvements, during their
remaining term Of office, or only
$4,000 if they choose to ignore the
bill passed and act on Mr.. Sbank's
original statement, that $4,000
would be provided in 1916.
But whether they set aside $780,
600 or 100000 in 1916, the balance
of the proposed pay-as-you-go plan
now depends entirely on the result
of the 1916 county election
