For the photographs bringing out this theme, We are deeply indebted to Miss First and to Mr. Hauberg, from Whose collections we have selected likenesses of the local master- pieces of nature in the hope that they may impart to our book a little of the beauty which they so generously bestow upon the landscape. We are also indebted to our art editors for their zealous efforts in cut- ting out the blocks for our division pages, the symmetry and delicacy of which merit an appreciative reception. HARVEY HULSTEDT 1913 - 1930 DEDIC T10 To the memory of Harvey Hulstedt ex '31, who during his two years among us, by his ready smile and sunny disposition, by his ceaseless industry and unfaltering adher- ence to duty, by his irreproachable charac- ter and high ideals, made himself a valued friend and co-worker of students and facul- ty alike, we, the Staff, do dedicate this 1931 Watch Tower Annual.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earthps sweet flowing breast A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to prayg A tree that may in Summer wear A nest of robins in her hairg Upon whose bosom snow has laing Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made byfools like me, But only God can make a tree.

S ENIOR CLASS AND HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Page Forty CLASS HISTORY BY MABEL EKLUND I Now the history of the class of One-and-thirty, of the High School of the city of Rock Island, State of Illinois, is in this wise: In the beginning, in the eight and twentieth year of our Lord, in the ninth month, and on the tenth day, there entered into this Land of Learn- ing many seekers of knowledge. Now it came to pass, soon after they had entered the new land, that they were one and all smitten with a strange disease, called Footballitis. The malady, though contagious, seemed to concentrate on a certain Par- chert and another, called Potter. Likewise a second disease called Trackitis did lodge in the limbs of a certain few, namely: McCauley flikewise called Budb, Hensley, Gnhl, and Parchert falso called OXD. Then a third plague, Extemporaneitis, seized Ben Tallinan and Charles Maynard by the throat, and also two of the fairy namely, Florence Lipyoens and Mabel Eklnnd. And lo! it did happen that there was need for a feast and merry- making among the lowly members of the class of One-and-thirty. To this Sophomore Party all the youth of the land did come. And those who guided them through their first year were Raymond Olson, Margaret Bleisener, and Richard Schwenher. II Now it came to pass, at the beginning of the second year, these so- journers chose their wisest ones to be their leaders: Ben Tallinan, whose fame as a speaker had spread for miles around, Richard Schwenker, who was intrusted with the next highest office, and Florence Liyopens, a fair speaker of some renown. Footballitis infected Parehert, For-gy, Lerinan, and Potter falso called Edward, likewise Earlb. Basketballitis took its toll in a certain Barnes flikewise called Albertus, but generally called Boobl. And Track- itisi' attacked H ensley, Parchert, Xander, and McCauley. Of the scribes who prepared the yearly volume of the Watch Tower Annual, four of the chosen were from this classg namely, Hillstedt, Baker, Churchill, and Eklilnd. And behold! it did likewise come to pass, at about this time, that the class did aspire to dramatic honors and did present to the people a great and wondrous play, wherein each acted what he was not! And so, Green Stockings was given by the class of One-and-thirty, with Richard Schioen- her and Marian Bort living happily ever after. Others in the cast were Virginia Hilbbart, Ben Tallrnan, Harold Grains, Rath Mary Tonn, Doris Reitzner, Evelyn Cainp, Robert Wynes, Harvey Hnlstedt, Lyle Hagan, and George Starleaf. I Page Forty-one Nor was their number lacking in musical talent, as was shown by 'tMiss Cherryblossomf' The Blossoms in this class were Ben Tallman, Rath Mary Tonn, Richard Scliivenlcer, Roger McRoberts, Jim Burke, and Jim Blaser. And it came to pass that many of the people sojourned in that moun- tainous land called Forensics, Now this range of mountains had three high peaks. Declamation was scaled by four of the fair sex, namely: Tonn, Hnbbart, Whalen, and Sollenberger, with Swanson and Tallman, hardy pioneers, assisting. Tallman scaled the highest point, being the best climber in that land. Ben Tallman also led the party up Extemp Mountain. His co- workers were Lippens, Ekliind, Tracy, and Steels. The third peak, Debate, demanded three sturdy guides, namely, Lippens, Grams, and Tallman. Many of their number traveled far and wide, spreading terror among their rivals. These constituted the Commercial Teams. Upon close investi- gation, it was discovered that several were from this class, namely, Tonn, Barth, Bengston, Eklund, and Ben Boxerman. And we passed the year in harmony because the Discordians were formed, including Kinney, MeRoberts, and Sehwenker from the class of One-and-thirty. I III Now this, the third and last year of the history of this great and won- derful class of One-and-thirty has been one of much hard labor, and but little resting by the wayside, for preparations had been made ready for them to take their final departure from the land. Now it happened as they did gather together, one of their number was missing, namely Harvey Hnlstedt, who had gone ahead of them into the Land of Promise. And they did choose to be their leader, a certain Sehwenlcer, likewise called Richard, also Dick, who had proved himself full worthy of that honor. Under his rule were Harold Grams, a fiery philosopher, and Vir- ginia Hnbbart, a tall young lass who was known by everyone. Now it came to pass that, after some months, their eyes were turned toward Graduation, but many, with one consent, began to make excuse. The first said, I am in poor health, therefore I cannot graduate. Another said, I must needs toil at home, therefore I cannot graduate. A third said, I am dull and cannot learn. I pray thee have me ex- cusedf' And still another said, I am going to be married, and therefore I need not graduate. So thus did the class decrease in numbers. A multitude of the sojourners contracted Footballitis in this, their third year in the land. The number included: Butts, Forgy, Grams, Kim- Page Forty-two mel, Lerrnan, Loornls, Parehert, Potter, and Welboarne. Johnson, Barnes, and Xander were pretty hard hit by B-asketballitis. Another fever of excitement, Trackitis, swept the land, carrying with it Hensley, Parchert, Xander, McCauley, Carpenter, Barke, Two Johnsons, and Starleaf. And those who did lead the applause for our athletes were Ben Tallrnan, and Ashley Hensley. The Keepers of the Annual Scroll were Swanson, Xancler, Kinney, Barke, Hynes, and Eklancl. Whereas the dutiful scribes were Baker, Barth, Boclewlg, Gartelos, Grams, Heisey, Hibbart, Hollingsworth, Lippens, Linclstrorn, Park, and Sweasy. And there was a lot of Applesauce from the class of One-and-thirty. Rath Mary Tonn and Ben Tallrnan were again together and better than ever. Other seniors in the cast were: Schwenker, Whalen, Hnbbart, Hagan, and Potter. And it came to pass that there were now many experienced guides to assist the climbers up that difficult range of mountains. Sollenberger and Tonn led the girls, with Camp capturing the Gold Medal. Tallrnan chose a different path this year, called Oratory, and Grams and Tracy helped him at this difficult task. In spite of the new route, Tallrnan took third place. The pathway up the next mountain, Extemp Peak, was rocky and strewn with pebbles of much hard labor. Tallrnan, Grams, and Llppens comprised this party. And last but not least, Debate Mountain was scaled by those same three veterans, Florence Lippens, Harold Grams, and Ben Tallrnan. The girls and boys of the Glee Clubs did band together and did present Crocodile Island, thereby proving their ability to sing as well as act. Those from this class were: Kinney, Sohwenker, Tallrnan, Tonn, Mo- Roberts, Tracy, Whalen, Hnbbart, Clark, and Hagan. The Commercial Teams again terrorized the countryside with a larger band than ever, composed of Barth, Bengston, Crabill, Ekland, Engstrom, Greenblaolt, H elmer, Johnson, Kanter, N essler, Park, Potter, Tlndall, and Tonn. And to close the wonderful career of this class of One-and-thirty, they did present their Senior Class Play. The four Little Women in the production were Florence Lippens, Evelyn Camp, Helen Park, and Rath Mary Tonn. The rest of the cast includes: Marian Bort, Merrill Yoh, Helen Sollenberger, Robert Wynes, Roger McRoberts, Harold Grams, Ben Tallrnan, and Joyce Clark. And so it came to pass that the Juniors saw fit to honor their upper- classmen with a 'ilunior-Senior Reception. And those that did attend were enthralled by the music and did jump and leap for joy. And now, friends and fellow classmates, that is the history of the sojournment in the Land of Knowledge of the Class of One-and-thirty. Page Forty-three I 1 ROBERT SNIVELY JACK WRIGHT MARJORIE EICHELSDOERFER President Vice President Secretary CLASS OF 1932 There have been many prominent juniors in R. I. H. S. this year.

Page Forty-four CLASS OF 1932 Par e Forty-five CLASS OF 1933 CLASS OF 1933 A Prayer of a Tree Ye who pass by and would raise your hand against me, Harken ere you harm me! I am the heat of your hearth on the cold winter nights, The friendly shade screening you from the summer sun. My fruits are refreshing drafts, Quenching your thirst as you journey on. I am the beam that holds your house, The board of your table, The bed on which you lie, And the timber that builds your boat. I am the handle of your hoe, The door of your homestead, The wood of your cradle, And the shell of your coffin. I am the bread of kindness, and the flower of beauty, Ye who pass by, listen to my prayerg harm me not.

Ad- mission to the club requires a special examination or the presentation of the Certificate of Proficiency awarded to boys completing the Junior Glee Club course with an A or a B grade. The Glee Club regularly boasts a good male quartet, which the last two years has been known as the K'Discordians and has become very popular. The Glee Club itself or small groups from the organization have appeared on more than thirty civic or religious programs in this community during the past year. To- gether with the Girls' Senior Glee Club, the Boys' Organization put on the second annual Glee Club concert, and produced the operetta Crocodile Island, which was played to a crowded house.

CLARK Jolly, smiling Mr. Clark is a man of business when it comes to matters of financing R. I. H. S. athletic teams, and as a keeper of the money bags he has proved himself an outstanding success. Another victory was charged to the management of Mr. Clark when the lighting system for night football was installed in the stadium. It is the most complete and efficient system in the central Illinois section, and Mr. Clark had a great part in making it so. Though attendance was unusually small, Mr. Clark has carefully handled the ' situation and put athletics on the highest paying basis possible. The constant improvement going on in the athletic departments of the school under Mr. Clark's superintendence is evidence of the progressiveness and skill of the manager of athletics. His support of the teams and his good-humored manner are marked by the student body with appreciation and respect. KENNETH GREENE Some coaches have championship teams in their first year of coach- ing at a new school, but the great majority have to dig in and develop a team and material by conscientious work. Kenneth Greene, R. I. H. S.'s new football mentor, has done more than his share of con- scientious work in the past football season, and the student body of the school has rewarded him by placing complete confidence in his ability to produce winning teams. Not prone to talk either of himself or his team, Mr. Greene gave all his time and energy to work. All combinations and all players were given a chance with only moderate success. No complaint of lack of material came from the taciturn coach, all his time and energy continued to be put on the team. It was in his consistent work and his appeal to the players as man to man that the stocky coach showed his true worth. A brilliant last effort in the final game of the season with Davenport, which ended in a nothing-to-nothing deadlock, was the players, contribution toward rewarding the new coach for his indomitable spirit. ' I ROBERT BURGITT The second year in Mr. Burgitt's career as coach of basketball at R. I. H. S. has been as strenuous, if not as brilliant with victories, as last year was. Despite the record of games won and lost, Mr. Burgitt once more developed a team of hard losers, boys who hated to lose. Under Bob's fiery leadership the team put up a scrap in every game, and the squad of five juniors and five seniors played their best for the coach. Every Burgitt team has .this championship trait. The greatest admiration and support for Mr. Burgitt are aroused in the student body every year by the quality of his teams and by his stirring talks to the students. It is to be regretted that he will not be here next year. W. L. KIMMEL In a time when athletic teams were not faring with a great deal of success, Mr. Kimmel again .turned out a track team whose members could place regularly, and he again developed several new men into first rate track material. Mr. Kimmells ability to develop and train his track team is only matched by the vigor and enthusiasm with which he backs his boys. The small number of candidates answering the call and training earnestly for ,track has necessitated the developing of unpromising material. a difficult task for the coach but a task which Mr. Kimmel has performed every year while coach at our school. p The one requisite for a real track man, a fighting heart, is Mr. Kimmel's gift to every boy who trains under him.

Y DBAMATIC CLUB PLAY 'mlpplesaucep' Which would a young girl prefer to marry-a prosperous young man or one who is generally designated as Applesauce ? Hazel Robinson, better known as Ruth Mary Tonn, almost embarked on a marital voyage with Rollo Jenkins, the prosperous young man, but at the last minute she availed herself of the age-old privilege to change her mind. Yes, she mar- ried Bill McAllister, the indolent flatterer who was so often alluded to as full of applesaucef' Most of us know these last two characters as Lyle Hagan and Benny Tallman, respectively. For a time it seemed that the young couple would have to live on flattery. Bill spent most of his time on the golf links. He and his bride lived in a tiny apartment over a drug store. Just as their marital bark was about to be wrecked in a sea of trouble, Bill revealed to his Uncle Matt McAllister, Ed Potter, that he has secured a great many orders for coal while he enjoyed himself on the golf links. Of course, Matt McAllister immediately took Bill into partnership in the coal business. As the curtain fell, Ma CVernette Wahlenl and Pa Robinson fDick Schwenkerl were delighted with their son-in-law. Even Mrs. Jenny Baldwin CVirginia Hubbartj the neighbor, seemed satisfied. Page Eighty-one SPEECH CLASS PLAYS The Speech classes Very successfully presented three one-act dramas in the auditorium on January 21. The first Jazz and Minuet by Ruth Jeorloff, was a dream play.

J UN IOR CLASS PLAY HThe Nut Farmw Robert Brent CFred Haganb has just returned to Hollywood and his lovely Wife, Helen flrene Appelquistj after a long absence spent in search- ing for a farm which he found- A Nut Farm. Helen has planned to become a movie actress. Through the efforts of Hamilton T. Holland CRichard Stengelj, the producer, and Mrs. Barton QPhyllis Grantb, Helen's fond parent, Robert is persuaded to give up his farm for the more lucrative moving picture business. Willie Barton CJack Wrightb, Helen's younger brother, succeeds in getting a contract as director of the film which is to Witness Helen's spec- tacular rise to stardom. One evening they practice the first act. J. Clar- ence Biddeford fHovvard Valentinel, the scenario Writer, reads the story. Harold Van Horton CLouis Smithj, the hero of the piece, tries in a half- hearted manner to carry out Willie's directions. Even Ezra Sliscomb CBob MauckerD, who is the neighbor from the incomparable state of Iowa, is an interested observer. The show goes on-and off. All the hard-earned savings are gone.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY f4Little Women The play opens with Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy gathered in the old-fashioned living room discussing plans for a very economical Christmas because of conditions brought about by the Civil War. About this time news comes of the very serious illness of about the Civil War. News comes of the very serious illness of their father, Mr. March, who is serving as chaplain in the Union army. Mrs. March must go to him, but how- when she is without funds? The one ray of hope lies in a crusty old aunt, Aunt March. Jo has no faith in ,the generosity of the old aunt and, therefore, goes out to dispose of her one valuable possession, her beautiful hair. Dear, generous, impulsive Jo! Her sacrifice had been unnecessary, as Aunt March had left plenty for the trip. During the weeks in the hospital at Washington, Robert Brooke is very kind to Mr. and Mrs. March and he continues his attentions after their return home. The wise mother suspects that a portion of his attentiveness is due to his attraction to Meg. When Jo finds out about the love aiair, she is very much disturbed and blames Brooke for breaking up their home. A kind old professor appears on the scene and interests Jo in his translation of Schiller. He presents her with the first autographed copy and she finds it is dedicated to her. Jo has been doing some writing of her own, but in the light of Professor Bhaer's teachings she realizes her efforts have been unworthy of her. Teddy Laurence tells Jo of his love for her, but Jo is wise enough to know that Teddy and she could not be happy together. Teddy afterwards finds consolation in the youngest sister, Amy, who has great love for beauty and is socially inclined. For some time Beth has been indisposed and gradually grows worse until one day in a very touching scene she tells Jo she knows she is soon to die. About this time twins come to Meg and Robert. Before Meg is strong enough to be told about Beth's very serious condition, Beth passes on. In the end Aunt March leaves Plumfield, her country home, to Jo, whom she con- siders the only sensible one in the family. Jo here finds happiness in a boys' school and her beloved professor.

Page Eighty-four OPERETTA HCroc0dile Islandw Coco Orinoco, the guardian of the sacred crocodiles, claims to have received a revelation from the oracle demanding the sacrifice of thelking, Bongazoola, and his chamberlain, Nitwit. Both the king and Nitwit demur, but their protestations avail them nothing. While the king is discussing with his two devoted daughters, Pearl and Petal, the best means to escape the jaws of the hungry crocodiles, Mammy Lee, the good-natured colored woman, comes hurrying in to inform them of the arrival of a shipload of American tourists. Among the visitors are Dr. Amos B. McSnoozer, an elderly gem collecter, Miss Abigail Brewster and her nephews, Thomas Brooks and Jefferson Pinfield, and a colored porter, who wields a razor very dexterously. Tom and Jeff immediately make the acquaintance of Pearl and Petal, who promptly tell them of the prospective sacrifice of their beloved parent. Tom and Jeff think up the clever plan of having Hopalong substitute for the king at the last moment, use his razor at the opportune moment and all will be saved. Hopalong overhears this plan, however, and as he has nc- real assurance that crocodiles prefer black meat, he decides to hide until all danger of substitution is past. He chooses to hide in the pagoda, where lives the dreaded oracle. When Coco calls upon the idol for the final pronouncement, Hopalong delivers himself of some emphatic admonitions which change the entire course of events. Confronted with the depressing prospect of being thrown into the crocodile pit, Coco confesses his deception. The king bestows the hands of his daughters, Pearl and Petal, upon Tom and Jeff, respectively, while Hopalong finds his reward in the genial charms of Mammy Lee.

Dear Diary: It is eleven o'clock, and I have just returned from the sophomore party. We had the most Wonderful time. The party was old-fashioned, and almost all the girls wore dresses of long ago. I wore grandmother's wedding dress. It is white satin with puff sleeves and a huge bustle. There were several Martha Washington costumes. Some girls wore mod- ern dresses, so it seemed that almost every American age was represented at our party. Even some of the boys were dressed up. Imp wore a swallow tail coat and a high silk hatg he wouldn't tell us where he got them. We played games, danced, and a program was presented. The dimin- utive Beverly Jane Eklund sang and danced in a very modern manner. She was dressed in a brief costume of gold cloth, and wore on her head a high silk hat and carried a black cane. She sang Aintcha, and did a tap dance afterward. Her encore was a tap dance, the Sidewalks of New York. A group of sophomores then did the Virginia Reel. How diierent our grandmothers' dances were from ours! After the reel was ended, Beverly Jane Eklund again appeared. This time she was dressed as a modern little girl. She gave a musical reading, UA Perfect Little Lady. Her parents wouldn't even allow her to slide down the cellar door. Is it any wonder she revolted at being a perfect little lady ? Indi, my twin brother, is telling me to end the day's installment. He is going to write the spring sophomore party. Della Cate Reviews the Junior-Serrior Party, November 21. Dear Diary: The Junior-Senior party this evening was wonderful! It seemed to exude fun from every side. The orchestra was on a raised platform. Card tables were placed on the edge of the dance floor where those who did not care to dance might play cards or Bunco. Evelyn Camp '31, mistress of ceremonies, announced the special fea- tures. Virginia Hubbart '31, and Vernette Whalen '31, put on a skit where- in they sang and joked. Both girls were comically dressed as middle-aged women. Freeman Wilde, accompanied by Richard Vinall, sang 'Tm Yours and Here Comes the Sun. These young men are attending Augustana College. All of the entertainers made quite a collection of pennies which the boys tossed to them. After the program there was more dancing, and refreshments of ice cream and cake were served. As the hands of the clock neared 10:30, the orchestra played Home, Sweet Home, and another joyful evening came to a close. Page Ninety-two Della Cate Tells All about the Frolic. Dear Diary: I went to the Frolic tonight and had a rollickinggood time. The high school was transformed from an institution of learning to a circus grounds. The Frolic, however, was more irritating than a three ring circus, because there were so many, many things to be done at the same time. This is one time when I'd like to be twins like Sindi and Indi. I didn't get to all of the shows, but I did my best. The Dramatic club and Blackhawk Tribe, together, presented a playlet entitled In the Year 1999? It was a story of the eternal triangle, the wily, villainous at- tempts to win the clinging vine husband from the dominating wife. Both the French club and the Commercial club depicted the antics of Amos and Andy. The Girls' Hi-Y gave what they chose to call The Early Life of Napoleon Bonaparte. The Latin club held a Baby picture contest. There were so many who tied for first place that it was impossible to choose a winner. A moving picture entitled Felix the Cat was presented by the Science club. The German club sold comic hats in the halls. People looked awfully funny walking down the corridors with ridiculous hats perched on tops of their heads, peacefully munching the eskimo pies sold by the Blackhawk Tribe. All too soon the sideshows closed. Everyone went to the auditorium where the high school band furnished a musical program. The winners of the Blackhawk Tribe popularity contest, Harold Grams '31, and Ruth Mary Tonn '31, were introduced. The evening ended with the playing of the school song. Indi Cate Describes the Spring Sophomore Party, April 17. Dear Diary: fThat's the way Sindi always starts her entries in her diary, so I thought I would, too.D The juniors and seniors may tease us all they wish, but they couldn't possibly have a better time at their parties than we did this evening at the Sophomore party. The Iirst thing we did was to play a get-acquainted game. Every- one was given a pennyg the orchestra played some good dance music, and the fun was on. We traded pennies and with them., our partner. This way we formed new friendships. A very interesting program was provided. Dorothy Lindstrom '32, and Billy Wolter '33, danced. I like tap dancing, mother says I'd like anything that made a noise. Jasper Licata '32 and his brother played the guitar and the mandolin. I like that, too. After the program, we had refreshments of ice cream and cake. I liked that best of all. Sindi has been reading over my shoulder. She says she will have to write her own summary of the party because this will never do for her diary. Page Ninety-three Rusty Cate Gives His Version of the Jimior-Senior Reception, May 28. Well, old diary, here I am again after a long absence. I wouldn't be writing now, but I thought that some of my great, great grandchildren might like to read about the J unior-Senior reception. Mother, much to my disgust, made me wash my neck and put on my best tie before I left. It took me all of fifteen minutes to dress. Women are always fussing about what we men wear. How can a fellow have a good time if he's scared to death that he will pick up a speck of dust some- where? After I finally met the approval of the entire family, I started out for the party. The ballroom was decorated with the orchid, yellow, and green class colors and the iris class flower. The girls were in their glory, all of them were dressed up. Most of the junior boys looked tie- conscious, but the seniors didn't seem so uncomfortable. They'd been through it before. Maybe next year I'll be nonchalant, too. When the orchestra started to play we forgot our ties and danced. What a fun we had! After an enjoyable program and refreshments, the orchestra played Home, Sweet Home. One time when home doesn't sound so good to me is at the conclusion of a good party. Page Ninety-four Akin If you love a tree, we are brothers! All over the world, there are others Who love rnany things: azure sea, Or a robin-reclbreast, or a bee That's drowslng above the white clover. There are lovers always, the world over. But lovers of trees stand apart, For trees strike down deep in the heart. A man or a dog, we may help without end, But a tree, living beauty, is ours to defend. If you love a tree, in your heart is a shrine, For the love of a tree is at love half divine.

When I am old, I pray I may achieve The beautiful composure of a tree Which sees the shining leaves fall one by one, That were its splendor, with serenity. He learned all there was To learn about not launching out too soon And so not carrying the tree away Clear to the ground. He always kept his poise To the top branches, climbing carefully With the same pains you use to fill a cup Up to the brim, and even above the brim. Then he flung outward, feet first, with a swish, Kicking his way down through the air to the ground So was I once myself a swinger of birches, And so I dream of going back to be. By ROBERT FROST.

Page One H'Z.l7Zd7'?fZ Seven A son in college was applying for more money from home, so we hear from a reader in Kansas. I cannot understand why you call yourself a kind father, he wrote, when you haven't sent me any money for three weeks. What sort of kind- ness do you call that ? That's unremitting kindness, wrote the father in his next letter. And a reader in Baraboo got a laugh out of this: First Lightning Bug: Bill Firefly got run in last night. Second Lightning Bug: Was he full of shine ? First: No. The cop got him for not having his tail light burning. A gentleman from Mishawaka swears he overheard the following conversation not long ago in a local barber shop: Haven't I shaved you before? solicitously inquired the barber. No. replied the victim pleasantly, I got those scars in France. From a Chicago reader we learn of the surprise of the pretty young kindergarten teacher who was striving to tell her pupils about the winds, their power, their different effects and so on. Now, children, she went on enthusiastically, As I came to school this morning on the top of the bus something softly came and kissed my cheek. What do you think it was? The conductor! cried her charges in one voice. A British nobleman was traveling incognito through Iowa with a small retinue to study American methods of scientific farming. Losing their way one night, the party stopped at a small farmhouse to ask for supper and a room for the night. Before the guests sat down to the table, one of the British gentle- man's companions confided to the housewife that one of the group was Lord DX. When the party was gathered around the table the flus- tered housewife began pressing one dish after another on her distin- guished guest, always finishing her remarks with the words my Lord. Do have some more of the meat, my Lord , and, would you care for some bread, my Lord? she urged again and again. Finally, plates were heaped high and the farmer's wife turned her attention to her own. But the bright eyes of the small son of the family noticed the distinguished visitor gazing longingly at a dish some dis- tance away on the other side of the table. Not to be outdone in hospitality little Johnnie then spoke up. Mother, he shouted across the table, Can't you see that God would like to have a pickle? And this month's success story comes from a Marion, Ohio, read- er, as follows: Visitor: And do your shorthand pupils do well ? Principal: 'fWonderfully. Thirty-five of the fifty we sent out last year have already married their employers.

Page One Himdred Ten MORE THAN A CLERK WAS AWAKENED EARLY every night it happened. The young clerk stirred restlessly in his bed in the general store of the pioneer vil- lage, sat upright and peered through the window. He could hear familiar voices in the night . . . the scream of a panther from some- where up the river . . . the startled barking of Indian dogs on the near-by reservation . . . but that which had awakened him was more insistent. It was the rhythmic Hwhang, whang, whang! of a hammer on an anvil. Through the window of the shop across the street, outlined against the dim light within, the clerk could see the blacksmith toiling at the anvil-a giant of a man, swinging a heavy hammer unceasingly. What a man for work! he exclaimed. All around the village, folks were talking about the blacksmith-how he had come from Vermont with only 373, and a kit of toolsg how he had built a forge of clay and rock the first day of his arrival, and re- paired the broken pitman shaft that was delaying important work at the saw millg how he had stepped in and done all the iron work on the new grist mill, and how he was Uworking himself to deathl' over his new ideas about plows. Many folks called this blacksmith a vi- sionary, but the young clerk watched him admiringly at his night vigil. Years later, after he, himself, had be- come a prominent manufacturer, this for- mer clerk wrote: John Deere in his early experiences would make a plow and then go out to a prairie farm and give it a trial. If the plow did not work exactly to suit him, he would bring it back, take it to pieces, change the shape of the moldboard and try it out again. I would hear him hammering at ten o'clock at night when I went to bed at the store, and at four o'clock in the morning his hammering would wake me up, he had such indomitable determination to work out successfully what he had in mind. More than a clerk was awakened by the zeal of John Deere as he worked, regardless of the hour, perfecting the plow which he had invented. That which came from the hammering on his anvil awakened the agri- cultural wealth of a nation-the wealth which awaited the coming of the steel plow -and founded the great organization which today builds and sells John Deere quality equipment for practically every farming operation.

A grocer? No-another guess- I'm Doctor Fillmore, D. D. S. e Hundred Thirty-three TALES OUT OF SCHOOL One day a teacher in Marshalltown, Iowa, was having a first grade class in physiology. She asked her pupils if they knew that there was a burning fire in the body all the time. One little girl spoke up and said: Yes'm, when it is a cold day, I can see the smoke. On his tour of the district an inspector of city high schools came be- fore a class of girls. This, at any rate, according to a correspondent in Superior, Wis. He wrote upon the blackboard- LXXX. Then, peering over the rims of his spectacles at a very good-looking girl in the first row, he asked severely: Young lady, I'd like to have you tell me what that means. Love and kisses, the girl promptly replied. Is Feinstein really such a good business man ? a neighbor inquired in West Allis, Wis. I give you my word, was the emphatic reply. If he found the wolf at his door some night, he'd sell you a silver fox set next morning! Writes Miss Edna Crum, Thrift Inc., field service operative, from Columbus, Ohio: 'IA young woman political worker here was helping take a pre-elec- tion poll of voters. 'May I see the gentleman of the house 7' she asked of a very large woman who opened the door at one residence. 'N0, you cannot,' answered the woman decisively. 'But, madam, I must find out the party he belongs toj protested the girl. 'Well, take a good look at me,' was the reply, 'I'm the partyl' Jack: So your father demurred at first because he didn't want to lose you? Ethel: Yes, but I won his consent. I told him that he need not lose me, we would live with him, and so he would not only have me but a son- in-law to boot. Jack: Hm! I don't like that expression, 'to booth -Boston Tran- script.

Dan Kelly: In the box, it's shredded wheat, in the cigarette, it's tobacco. Kate McKown: Well, at least the wolf at the door doesn't say he's working his way through college. Rosemary Lovejoy: An egg gets bad by sitting around. Roger McRoberts: Beyond the Alps lies Italy, and lest we forget, behind the billboards lies America. Tekla Malmrose: In this day and age the people would rather pay the piper on the installment plan. Norm Lenhardt: A swelled head, like an inflated balloon, is of no use on earth. Ernie Kampmeier: Judging by the way some fellows drive, if the road turns the same time they do, it's merely a coincidence. Man: My Austin won't start.

Dale Meyers: No, Mary Ellen, a pole vault is not the bank of Warsaw. Bob Maucker: It is as easy as falling off a log to learn to fly an airplane: only the distance is a little farther. Elva Johnson: In our house it only takes one cook to spoil the broth. Sallie Roderick: A Mexican revolution is like a scene on a movie lot. If it doesn't take, they have to shoot it over again. George Rylands: Mechanics who work in stone garages shouldn't throw glass. Bernice Bell: Maybe the fish go home and lie about the size of the bait they hooked. BRIGHT SAYINGS OF CHILDREN Cby what's leftj Eleanor Bort: You ask me how old I am? It is difficult to say. The latest personal survey available shows my psychological age to be 12, my moral age 4, my anatomical age 7, and my physiological age 6. I suppose, however, that you refer to my chronological age, which is 16. That is so old-fashioned that I seldom think of it any more. Walter Anthony: Little Walter was untidy. Though his mother made every effort to encourage him, he seldom folded or hung his clothes up after he had undressed for bed. One day his mother came into his bed- room and saw his clothes scattered all over the floor. I wonder who it was that did not fold his clothes before he went to bed ? she asked.

General Pershing, says a Fond Du Lac, Wis., teacher, tells a Civil War story about a volunteer battalion of rough backwoodsmen that once joined General Grant. The latter admired their physique, but distrusted the capacity of their uncouth commander to handle troops promptly and effici- ently in the field, so he said: Major, I want to see your men at workg call them to attention and order them to march with shouldered arms in close column to the left- flank. Without a moment's hesitation the Major yelled to his fellow ruffians: Boys, look wild thar! Make ready to thicken and go left endwaysl Tote yer guns! Git! The maneuver proved a brilliant success and the self-elected Major was forthwith officially commissioned. A well known novelist said at a dinner in a Pasadena hotel, according to a correspondent in Hannibal, Mo.: We educate our young people in too materialistic a way, and if we don't look out, the moral standard of the next generation will be like the taxicab driver's. A taxicab driver applied for a job. 'Are you honest? they asked him. 'Oh, yes, quite.' 'Perfectly honest ?' 'Perfectlyf 'Suppose you found a pocketbook containing negotiable securities worth 8100,000 in your taxicab, what would you do ? 'Do?' said the taxicab driver, 'I'd do nothing, I'd live on my in- come.' . . ala. mu- - 1ui-f1..u-nu-nn1uu-nn-my...m1.u.1im....m...,,,,-.,..,-,.Hin,,,,,,,..,,.,....,.-.,,,,-,.,,1,,,,1,,.,- 1 ...In--nan Rock ISLAND TRANSFER sz sToRAcE co.

A SMILE A story is going the rounds to the effect that a certain automobile owner installed a new-fangled carburetor that was guaranteed to save twenty per cent in gas. Then he put in special spark plugs that were guaranteed to save twenty per cent of the same precious fluid, and an in- take super-heater that was guaranteed to save twenty per cent. He next put in a patented rear-axle that was also guaranteed to save twenty per cent, and re-tired with a new brand of tires that promised a twenty per cent saving in gas consumption. Finally, he drained his crank case and refilled it with a new oil guaranteed to increase his mileage twenty per cent. Now, with a fuel economy of one hundred twenty per cent, the owner has to stop every hundred miles and bail out the gas tank to keep it from running over !-Motour. The teacher had given a lesson on the flight into Egypt, and the chil- dren were asked to express their understanding of the story told to them by drawing a picture of the Holy Family en route. One little girl brought up her achievement. Yes, Mary, said the teacher, that is very good. There is the donkey, and Mary riding on it with Jesus, and there is Joseph walking by its side. Very nice indeed. But what is this little thing on the floor, just behind ? Oh, teacher, thatis the flea. The flealu said the teacher, Ubut there is nothing in the story about a flea! Oh, yes, teacher, was the reply, there is, because it says, take the young child and his mother and flea into Egyptf -Zions H erdld. THE LACE MAKER , Irate Customer: Here, look what you did!

HAD HEARD THAT SOUND BEFORE One of our customers had just been to the dentist with her two little daughters, girls about eight or nine years old, and then came in to our shop to get a shingle. The two little tots sat down and quietly watched the operation. After trimming the hair with the scissors, the operator took up the electric clipper to smooth off the shingle and the clipperhad quite a buzz to it. After watching a few minutes, one little girl slid to the floor, came over to her mother and looking anxiously into her face, said, Mother, does it hurt very much? Evidently it sounded to her like the dentist's drill.--Acton Hair Company, N elsou, British Columbia. OH BOY! Two golfers sliced their drives into the rough and went in search of the balls.
