look for them" :. Conversation Jagged.
The minutes crawled by as if they had all
been smitten with sleeping sickness, shadows
began to lengthen on the ground.
MIR. Blanding and the pilot came and
stood about, idiotically consulting their
watches or scanning the empty blue sky.
Presently, the native reappeared. There
were two other men with him. Laboriously
and earnestly they repeated, one by one and
in chorus, their remarks anent tenb0 and
mb07d7rd.
Jason was fed up I'm going to walk
down there and see if there's river there"
Joe said
Mr.. Blanding and the pilot joined him

Coming, Lily?" Jason asked.
Lily shook her head. The blood in her
veins seemed to be boiling. She could dis
tinctly hear it bubbling. And her new boots
gripped her feet in red-hot wise.
The men strolled down the slope, followed
disGeetly by the three natives.
Lily stirred restlessly. She picked up the
gun, muttered Il guess I'll put you away"
and wandered idly out from the shadow of
the plane, stood looking beyond it around
the clearing She noted another gap in the
vegetation, just opposite the one through
which the men were now making their way.
Tempo" she repeated, her curiosity
aroused Il wonder what that means"
Had her guardian angel not been lolling
in an African siesta, surely he would have
told her what the native had been trying to
do; that the clearing was dangerous because
each day an elephant - a tembo - this one
solitary bull, crossed it to 60 down to the
river and bathe. Lily, nor none of her COM
panions, had been veld-wise enough to see
for themselves the signs.
Other events assumed the guardian
angels duty.
Shockingly, from the gap where the men
had gone, came hoarse shout of warning.
Before Lily could turn around, her heart
seemed to squeeze up and cease to be.
Bearing down upon her, came the biggest
elephant in the world.
Her knees turned to jelly, but miracu-
lously they held.
No elephant - no living creature -
could possibly be that big
Or advance with the speed and noise of
lunatic locomotive!
Lily didn't have time to run. She didn't
even have time to say prayer. Perhaps
she wouldn't have, anyway. In all emer-
gencies she turned to herself.

Now, her Photographic mind rushed to
her defence.
Soft spot - size of an orange - in the
middle of the forehead" flashed through her
mind as she raised the heavy gun and fired.
One cartridge! One shot! It had to be
good!
Lily, however, did not know whether it
was or not.
All she knew for split second was that
she was being hurled backward.
Then nothing, at all, any more.
"God" cried the pilot, with whom first
things came first, that beast could have
smashed the plane to kindling!'
JASON was already running up the slope,
his face white with terror. Blanding puffed
at his heels. The pilot, jerked back to HUI
man values, sprinted after them. Fast as
they ran, the three natives had already
reached the scene.

Jason raised Lily gently and held her close

Darling, darling, darling, he murmured
shakily.
Lily opened her eyes. HE got me? That
brute got me?" she gasped.

from the gun knocked you down." His arms
frightened about her, and he was unaware
that tears glistened on his cheeks. "Oh my
sweetheart, if it hadn't been for that merci-
full fluke of shot of yours!'
LILY wriggled She treasured Jason's
tears as evidence of his love, but she didn't
like the looks of them. Her mind, which
was swimming bit, steadied on word.
'Fluker she cried hotly. 'Fluke, my
eye! Just like an orange in the middle of
the forehead!'
Are you raving?" asked Jason anxiously.

Neighboring farmers lent him

In Leesburg, Pleasonton and
his companions tossed the
bags into the log courthouse
which stood on the site of the

main square, and decided to

cation, whose members serve

MIR. Paul McEwen, the Presi-
dent, for their untiring efforts
in behalf of the schools. We
receive $58.68 per pupil from
the State, with school in session
1876 days. Every day a boy or
girl stays home from school it
costs the District of Zion SIC.
One of the problems in any
school is a lack of understand
ing of the school and it's regu-
lations on the part of the par
ents. If there are any Ques-
tons, the school is ready and
willing to answer them. Par
ents should try to condition the
child for school. The teachers
should love children, and
should try to make each boy
and girl feel important in some
way. If a child is happy he
will learn. We should learn
to estimate our child's ability
properly-some over-estimate
some underestimate. One of
the problems in the home is
parental conflict in the disci-
pline and training of the child.
Broken homes add confusion
and insecurity. We should
make our child feel secure and
happy. Any arguing should be
done after the child has retir-
ed.
1t is very necessary in the
understanding of the child that
the teacher should know one
of the parents of every child
in her room, and know his
home conditions. Each moth
err should check on the teach
er-child relationship. Do not
depend on the messages
brought home by the child. No
child will bring home a story
that will incriminate him.
Check on his work every day
with casual questions about the
work, so there will be no dis
appointment on report card
day. The teacher should know
the attitude of the child when
he comes to school.
In summarizing his talk he
urged tolerance in understand
ing the problems of the school,
and the school in understand
ing the difficulties of the home.
If an honest effort is made -
there is no difficulty that can
not be ironed out. 1--WE are
always willing and glad to talk
to you and explain why we do

CENTRAL PTA HOLDS
FIRST MEETING OF
SEASON
MIR. Newenham Stresses Need
For Understanding of School
and Home Problems

and Home Problems
At the first Central School
PTA meeting of the season
much interest was hown by the
attendance of many fathers, as
we'll as mothers. Mrs. Jack
Douglas, the President, first
spoke of the theme for the year
-"Building Good Home
School Relationship" and in
troduced the Committee chair
men. She then called on Mr..
Eklund, Principal of Central
School, who introduced the
Teachers.
One of the main objects of
the Central School PTA this
year is to provide milk for the
needy children whose parents
are unable to buy it; and as
start Mrs. Douglas suggested
that the entire audience march
around the milk bottle and
drop in pennies while Mrs.
Paul Dunnick played approp-
riate music. Since milk is fur
nished to the schools for 10c
week and 1c for straws at 1-2
a pint a day, this part of the
program promises to be worth
while, as many were generous
with their pennies.
Since this was written milk price has
advanced to 16c per week.
The program was turned
over to the Music Chairman,
Mrs. Paul Dunnick, who was
very fortunate in obtaining Mr..
Paul Thomas as soloist for the
evening. He favored with two
selections, ''In the Gloaming,"
and the soul-stirring Lords
Prayer"
Mrs. Sam HARDWOOD introdu-
ced the speaker of the evening,
Mr.. Newenham, Superintend-
ent of the Schools, who gave
very instructive talk on the
Theme of the year. He said
that good home and school re-
lationships depend upon an I'M
derstanding of our mutual pro-
blems. There are two kinds of
problems, Individual and mu-
tual. The Central School is
renting the building, paying
$3.50 for each of the rooms
in the building, plus $27.50 for
the office, the PTA room, and
the room on the fourth floor
for physical education. The
rent bill for the year is $780,"
This includes light and heat
and partial janitor service. He

 Mrs. Stewart told of receiving the news of the hospital fire and pictured all the difficulties under which the hospital staff and nurses would be operating and was most gratified to hear of the citizens of Nome getting together at once to make available a temporary building for an emergency hos pital, raising the funds and hav- ing the building completely re- modelled for use of the Methodist group as a hospital for Nome.
 This action on the part of Nome gave the Mission group the cour- age to proceed knowing that Nome appreciated the work that the | Methodist Mission Women were doing in the community.
