SPRING Nl’MItKK (Chaitri' Surah Brown was a very lieautiful «� irl and was indeed ad mintl I� y all who know her. Her hair was of a charming golden yellow which hung in large curls around her face, her eyes were of a deep blue, and her cheeks were as red as roses. She had a well formed figure, Inn her clothes were not suitable for such a graceful form. They were always too large, too small, or for an olderly person than herself. She had stayed with Mr. and Mrs. Perkins since she was a baby. No matter how hard sin tried to tirnl out something altoui her father and mother she was unsuccessful. Could she find otu nothing about their a p|M a ranees? Nothing about their place of residence? Their name? No, nothing could be learned about them. What was she to do? Stay with these cruel people for at least another year, then she would be sixteen and could very easily make as good a living for herself as she was receiving here. Perkins lived on a large farm. They had no children of their own, but in some way or other they had gotten Sarah. None of their neighbors knew where she had come from. If they would have known it is quite certain that Sarah would have gotten all the information she wanti'd, for she was dearly loved by all the neighbors. She would have had many clothes given to her by them, but Mr. and Mrs. Perkins would not give their consent. Sarah was responsible for nearly all of the housework, and a large part of the work out doors. She had so much work to attend to that really she hadn't time to prepare her school work like she should. Nevertheless she was in the eighth grade, and was going to take the examination that would, if she ever should have a chance, enable her to go to High School. One evening, about a month before the dose of school, Mary Jones, a very affectionate friend of Sarah, called at Perkins’ to prepare for the examinations. Oh , said Sarah, when the two girls were quietly seated. “I just know that 1 won't pass. If only I had time to prepan my lessons like other girls do I might In able to pass, but, as it ls. I have given up all hopes. •‘Cheer up , soothed Mary, “I know very well that you will be promoted. Please have a little confidence in yourself. “Well, even if I do get promoted, I won't gi t to High School like you will. Put anyway I'm going to take the examination and then I can say that I graduated from common school, that is, if MIMS.” You needn't worry about not passing. Put come. Sarah, let us study, and we can at least say that we made an attempt to make a g« od standing in all our subjects. This closed the conversation and belli girls studied as hard as any one could, until the clock struck eleven. At this Mary picked up her Itooks and started for home. She had only a, short distance to go but Sarah disliked to see her go alone, and nc coiiipauied her about half way. They studied every night, but usually not so late since Mrs. Perkins would not allow it for fear that Sarah might pass. Mrs. Perkins never received an education, and therefore wanted no one else to go aliove her. The time went so fast that really a month seemed like a week to both Mary and Sarah. They took the examination, and within a w« ek from the time that they took it the good news came to them that they had both passed. This pleased them very much, but Sarah was not as happy as Mary, ls-causc she was almost certain that she would never even look at a High School. Mary’s parents were wealthy and there was no doubt concerning her opportunities. It was now about the middle of summer, and Sarah had de tided to leave Perkins' as soon as a fair chance presented itself. 6 SANDY TOWNSHIP 11 Kill SCHOOL FLAMBKAT Sh told this to no one except Mary. Ono day she sat looking at a newspaper, Beading rapidly tin advertisement list, sin no ticed the following advertisement: Wanted:—dirt for doin j housnrork or famili of tiro, othiiiff too hard for a t irl sixteen to do. This greatly pleased Sarah, and sin at once made up her mind to go. Kven if it is too hard for tin . sin said to herself, • I don't m ed to stay. Surely 1 can find some other plaee if this doesn't suit me. There are ever as many plaees waiting for a girl to do housework. Oil the following day she made an exetise to Mrs Perkins to go to town. Her oxenso having been aeenptod she started to see alwuit her position. Drews', the people that she was going to si e, did not live in this town, hut in Bakcrtowu, almut fifty miles from where she lived. She hadn't money enough of her own to pay her way. so Mary gave, her enough for her needs and a little extra. Sarah arrived at the Drew home that evening about four o’eloek. She had never traveled mueli, hut by her intelligence, sin got along very nicely. She was a little hit timid about ringing the door hell, but finally she picked up courage to ring it. A tall slender lady answered the hell. Sin indeed had a very pleasing look. which at once caus« d Sarah to feel at home. “How do you do , said Sarah in a modest way. ( 1 mm 1 evening , said Mrs. Drew. •••Inst step inside here. 1 suppose you have come to answer that advertisement? •Yes , answered Sarah, “It is for you to choose whether you want me to work for you. I think I am capable of doing almost everything alsmt housework, as 1 have never done any other kind of work. Sarah was gladly accepted. She did not go back to Perkins' nor even write them where she was. Mr. and Mrs Drew listened very attentively to Sarah's hardship . Doth felt very sorry for her. and indeisl gave her the best kind of care. In the meantime Mr. and Mrs. Perkins were searching the neighborhood for Sarah, but all was in vain. They had not known what a help she had been until Mrs. Perkins wanted her to do the work while she rend a book, or did some other unnecessary thing. One afternoon when Sarah and Mrs. Drew had finished their daily work they sat down on the porch swing to rest. Mrs. Drew decided to tell Sarah her trouble. When I was a girl of your age. my mother and father were both dead, she began. I had no home, but just had to go wherever I could find shelter. At that time work was not as plenty as it is now, and a girl my age was not wanted to work. Finally I found a home where they took me in. more because they pitied me than because they m eded help. They had a hoy about my age. We grew to love each other, and at last were married. We furnished our little home and after several years had passed, a dear little baby girl came to bless our home. Tears were be ginning to creep down her cheeks, but she endeavored to continue her story. One day when our little Bessie was learning to walk, I allowed her to go out in the yard to play. I went to get her in a few minutes, but she was not to he found. We have never ceased to limit for her since, and have Iwen able to find not trace of her. No one knows how great my grief is. and if 1 don't find her in the near future I know that 1 shall lose my reason. By this time hoth Mrs. Drew and Sarah were crying. Sarah s«� relied her mind for soothing words. None could Is found, that were as tender as they should In . However, she managed to ask if they had a picture of llessie. Mrs. Drew imim diotcly went into the house and came out in a short time with a picture of 1 Jessie. Sarah declaml it to be the most charming picture she had ever seen. The child was very dainty featured and a little locket ornamented its neck, while a narrow bracelet add d beauty to one of the chubby arms. Tln se small pieces of jewelry reminded Sarah that she was once a small child, and had a locket that she had never In-fore shown to Mrs. Drew. As quickly as possible she went to her room where she had it safely hidden, and returned, bearing the small locket with the peculiar carving on it. Tills locket was all that she took with she took it because she loved it. I’pon examining the locket a look of incredulity swept over Mrs. Drew's face. Could this be her only child's locket? Then a look, as if all Iiojk had disappeared. pass d over her face and another |ti stion took the place of the first one. Could it he ]H ssible that there could he another locket like Bessie's? Surely this was not her own child ! Yes, it must be! She now remem hens 1 that she had had this locket carved different from any other so that it would be a way of identification if anything should happen to the child. “Why, my dear Sarah! she exclaimed. You are my own SANDY TOWNSHIP fllO'n SCHOOL FI.AMBEAT 7 dnir Bessie!” Tln� n they thought of Hu picture and again a( if. Sun enough, there was a slight resemblance between 11� « picture ami Sarah. 1I� th Mrs. Drew and Sanili won so happy that thoy thought it ini|H)ssihli to wait until Mr. Dn w came homo to break the giMsI nows to him.

They wore never hoard of after that. It was still two weeks until school started. Sarah Brown, who had now taken her real name, Bessie Drew, had no m od to worry about getting to High School now. She was well dressed and ivceived the liest kind of care. Mary Join's and Bessie often paid each other visits. Well, aren’t you glad you took the eighth grade examination”. asked Mary, while visiting Bessie before school started. I certainly am,” returned Bessie. I am sure that if it had not Imimi for you I wouldn’t be thinking of going to High School this year, and more than that, mother and father said that I could' go to college, if I eared to.’ L. W. L. 22. dimit A iinmr Autmm thr JJinrs Over the beautiful green hills of New Hampshire, the sun was slowly sinking. The lieautiful illumination of the sky gave a promise of a nice day on the morrow. A girl came tripping along a path that stretched across her (1 rand father’s farm. She had long black curls, which hung around her head in clusters. Her face shone with smiles, and her blue eyes sparkled with joy as she ran along after her dog. Nellie Kodgers for this was the girls name I lived with her grandfather and grandmother in a little cottage far up among the old New Hampshire hills. This little cottage was hidden among some beautiful pine trees which reached far alsive the roof of the house. Inside sat an old gray haired lady, very busily knitting, as the last rays of the sun made their way through tin pines into the neat little room when she sat. She was very fond of her home and also of Nell, but list now she was not thinking of either her home or Nellie: but instead, of a little scene that had taken place in this very room just eighteen years ago today. She remembered it all very well. There in the farthest corner her son was kneeling licside tin-bed of his dying wife. His one band on her hot brow, and the other around the waist of his little daughter. Suddenly a beautiful smile lit up the face of the dying woman, and she whis|M� red, My Darlings.” and then all was still. She was dead. John lingers arose, placed his little daughter on a chair and lowered his head in grief. Presently his mother came into the room. One glance at her son told her that Lucie was dead. Six months later John Kodgers was culled to help his country. He left his daughter in his mother’s care. As he stood on the |s� rch he gently took his mother in his arms and kissed her. saying. Take care of little Nellie, mother, and don’t worry, I am coming home again.” Don’t forgot to write, John”, said Mr. Kodgers. in a shaky voice, but Mrs. Kodgers could only say, good-bye.” Eighteen years”, sighed Mrs. Kodgers as she folded her knitting and arose to prepare supjM r “Eighteen years and lie has ouly written once.” After she had supper started she got down a little box from the cupboard and opened it, she took out the yellowest and oldest looking envelope in the box and read : bear Mother, Father and Ihmghtcr:— Just a line to let f ou knoic I arrived safe and sound, and 8 sandy township high school flam beat hopiny all arc m il. as I am ai present.

Mrs. Rodgers eyes were very misty as she neatly folded the letter and plan'd it in thcl ox again. She thought as she often had Indore, that he must have been killed or he would have written after the battle. She plan'd the letter box bark in its plaee and sat the table. •hist as she finished Nellie drove the cows into the barnyard and closed the gate. Then calling her grandfather from the field she went into the house. “Supper ready grandma? asked Nellie as she entered. Yes, dear, ail I is ready”. Mr Rodgers then entered and soon they were seated at the table. Mr. Rodgers had just returned thanks for their daily bread when there was a timid knock at the door. Nellie aruse, ojiencd the door and was surprised to sec a tall man standing there. “Is this where Harry Rodgers liven, lady?” It is. sir, please step in, replied Nellie, and the stranger obeyed. Mr. Rodgers arose and in his simple hospitable manner asked. Won’t you sit down to supper with us stranger? I will, thank you, as I’ve been on the road since morning '. he answered. Nellie hastily sat another plate on the table while Mrs. Rodgers poured his colVee and soon all were enjoying the evening meal. After supper was over they went into the parlor.

She placed her chair up beside his and began taking them out one by one until nltuut half the pictures had been shown. Then she lifted out the picture of a beautiful woman, saying, This is mv mother, she has l� een dead almost eighteen years; Don't you think she has a sweet smile? I certainly do, she smiles just like you. little lady , he answered in a shaky voice. Here is my papa , she said handing him the next one. lie had it taken just Wore he went to the war. and oh, lie had such nice dimples too, something like yours 1 imagine. Now lien is my picture, see I am awfully sad there, my mamma was dead and papa was going away too. and I was cry ing. As she finished talking she looked up at the stranger’s face and was very much surprised to see large tears sttiding in his eyes. “Are you sorry for me”, she asked, but did not wait for a reply, for Mrs. Rodgers, who had been watching the stranger since Nellie s|s ke of his dimples now began to sob. Nellie went and put her arms around her neck and said. What is the matter grandma?” .lust then Mr. Rodgers returned, “what is the matter? he asked, looking from one to the other, but Mrs Rodgers said in a clear voice, Nothing only ibis stranger made me think of .John”. “That’s just who it is, mother,” he answered doing up lie took her in his arms and kissed her tenderly as he said, I just wanted you to guess awhile mother dear. lie kissed his father and then taking Nellie in his arms he said, My baby!

He was the owner of the only wood lot within many miles, lie was a big husky liimlmrman, with an abundance of lustrious brown hair, dark piecing eyes, and a tunned skin that was not unpleasant to sec. His little son of twelve, who rcscmhhd his father in every way, runic quickly to oliey the call he knew so well to Is a command not to Is disohey d. “Did yon call, father? asked John. ••Yes , said his fathter, “Go and gel the mail, and hurry, John, for I am expecting a very ini|M� rtant letter which 1 must have as soon ais possible. “All right, father, said John.

Then won’t father l� e glad? So lie followed the dog and had a pretty hard chase for awhile, then all of a sudden he came upon a clearing in the woods that he did not know was there, for father had not cut any logs from this side of the lot. And he just stcp|M d back into the hushes in time to escape being seen by a party of men. One mail who seemed to Is leader of the men, said: “Well here is Bruno back again.

He gave a start but the men did not seem 10 SANDY TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL FLAM BEAT to notin' nnv noise, so John settled down again, very anxious t4� know what this leather packet could contain. “Hurry up’ , came from one of the men. “Do you suppose we want to wait all day?’’ “Jack Black seemed to la the leader's name. But John did not know the name of the other men. Jack took from the leather packet a letter and began to read at first John could not hear anything that was l� eing read, and neither could some of the other men for they said. ••Bead a little louder, are you afraid of the trees hearing you.” At this remark Jack began all over again saying, “Well as it concerns all of you. I’ll read so you can hear very plainly.” There was silence for a few minutes then Jack Itcgan. “Jack, Alleu, Sweed, Babe, Norse, Bob, all of you, be careful of your actions for there is a party of men after you. rough looking fellows they are too, something like yourselves.

Sure enough his father was at the gate to meet him. “(Hi father,” said John, “I have some very im)M rtant news for you ami your men.” And then In told his father all about what lie had seen and heard, stoping now and then to get his breath. His father said, “Well John you an a trump.” And for a long time he sat with his soil in his arms, not really knowing how so much luck could come his way at one time. But-----he had better wait, for he had not caught the thieves yet. He suddenly arose and going to the telephone, he gave the following message to each and every one of his men.

She slipp4 d into tin room to be handed a telegram from her stingy uncle, which read as follows: January 12, 1921 .17 is a Helen Lee, ('arr Fern dale Hospital. Hath dyintj. Arrident. Come. Kzru Lee. After reading this she returned it to the doctor and waited.

She reported to Miss Frivland the following morning, and received her orders. She had five patients, one of which was to leave in the evening. The next morning as she entered the ward she caught sight of a new patient, and at first thought it was her dead sister. She was attracted to her and asked, “What is vour name, my dear child? I am Anna lliicston. said the child, “Who are you”? “I am Helen lav. your day nurse, and we an going to lw go«nI friends, are we not?

She learned that afternoon after an examination, that Anna would soon be blind, and that nothing could help her, but this she refused to believe. Anna also was poor and illnourish-cd, so ii was decided that she remain in the wanl until she regained health. She and Helen became very good friends.

Now you ran imagin' the commotion that was eaus d when Miss Beni|y. the History teacher, announced to the students that bad assembled in that recitation room that : '•Ibis year, young ladies and gentlemen, who an to fake part in the play will not be selected as usual.

Daily recitations in the future and a te st to be give u once a week will deride the fortunate stuele nts. That day anel many ela.vs afte� rwarels Patricia Sinclair was a very happy little girl, for there was a chance that her high slaneling in History would secure her a part in the play, if only a minor part feu that would In he tte r than nothing, hut that was not her highest aim, hut now she studre d harden than over, for she did so covet that high standing in History.

Indeed she did not fail as dismally as she trieel to make herself think, hut at the thought of only a minor part the tears sparkled in her be autiful blue-grey eyes, but by some mysterious control over the law of gravity the tears remained unshed. The rehersal commenced immediately for no time wus to he lost feu it was already the second week in April, and the play was to Is presented the latter part of May. It was a very heavy heart that “Patty” carried in her bosom; and many nights, in the solitude of her room, the [allows on her Ih c1 were we t with salty tears, hut duritig the duy she? held her head high and no one knew of the tearfully spent flights. For some reason or other “Patty” could not [miss Eileen without elevating her chin at a higher angle as if she scorned tec Im on the same level with her.

The rehe-rsals were going along smoothly with the hearty e-o-operation of the Junior class, with the mere exception e� f “Patty ami Eilevn. “Patty did not show that she eliel not eu-joy her part, anel Eileen was te rtureel concerning the fact that sin hail gained her part dishonestly.

She was a veritable little Molly Make-Believe. Her head was full of beautiful ladies in clinging, velvet gowns—of Knights in rinor—and of pageant and |M� etry. It was this capacity of make lielicvc that caused the diniior class play to 1m the success that it was. She was so full of life, up parently enjoying everyone of her lines, delighting in the appreciation of the audience. For in one of the front seats in the High School Auditorium as one of the audience, sat the ln st dramatic critic of cities around. , After the play. “Patty” was intriMlurcd to Mr. Stanard. the dramatic critic. A short conversation eiismsl in which he prais i-il her for her dramatic talent. He then ini|uired if he could call at her home, to which proposition “Patty” agreed. The following evening Mr. Stannard called at the Sinclair home, a sedate and quiet old house, in a quiet old ueighlsirhood, hut nevertheless it looked as though it were a home with e. |M r ience and traditions, and not merely a place to hang up hats and cat breakfast. After a few brief remarks Mr. Stanard unnounns] his reason for calling, lie was sure that Miss Sinclair would make ginul ou the American stage, but to this remark, Mr. Sinclair an swered. “What, at that child’s age? well I should say not. She’s going to linisli High School, and then she’s going to Vassar and then—well then we’ll see about it.” And “Patty agnisl with her father.

Don had just finished college and his father was going to surprise him by sending him to Oennany. -lust as Mv. Welsh was about to ring for his son, Don come in looking very sleepy. “CiimmI morning Don, my son. you look as if you did not have very much sleep. Morning Dad, I feel as if I had 1m oii out all night. 1 bet I’ll never attend any of those club dances again. He was a very handsome young man. tall, dark wavy hair and deep blue eyi s. “Well, son before breakfast 1 have a little surprise for you. Shoot ahead Dad. what is it? And saying this he threw himself in a big comfortable chair ln side his father. “Don. as you have finished your college education, how would you like to go to Germany for a couple of years. Don’s ey« s grew larger as he jum|n d up and exclaimed, “Dad, you old dear, do you really mean it?” “Well, how long will it take you to get ready?” said his father smiling. I can Im ready in less time than you can say it, shall 1 s« e about the passport.” “I have a little business to attend to this afternoon son, so you can get what you need and get your passport.” On saying this, Mr. Welsh handed his sou a check. Thanks, Dad, your the Im si Dad in tin world . Ill two W( eks we see Don and his father bidding each other good-by. Oh, Dad. I hate to leave you by yourself,” said Don, in a pitiful tone. Mr. Welsh was feeling very sad in having his son leave him. but he was sending Don away with a smile. Taking Don by tin shoulder he said, “Son, you will Is back in no time at all. and be sure and write to your old Dad as often as you can.

One evening after working hard all day. In was sitting by the window looking at the |M oplc hurrying to and fro through Oh. Dad. if I were only home, here I am all alone, and this terrible war. Well, as soon as I make enough i'll go home.' Don was thinking how lucky he was to have his pus |s� rl. Sud denly a sharp rap, rap, mine at the door. Don, knowing very few people, womlcred who it eonld he. Opening the door he beheld a big sturdy man masked. Don. being an Ainerieau was not afraid. “What do you want ?

Seating himself at one of the eolinters he culled on a waiter. Will you give me a glass of milk and a sandwich. I lie man looked curiously at him. Is dn’t all you vnnt. Yes, and hurry up alsnit it.” The waiter looked at Don again ami said to himself, Das man American. In about fifteen minutes two German officers confronted Don.

But when he got the wireless, he cried. “Oh, my soli I am glad you are safe. I will send all 1 have in order to get you hack.

KUTH C. HAILEY, ’22. ahr Hatttfihittn OTiliUnutrsB • Fifty years ago Western Penna. was covered with a vast virgin forest. Many of the trees in this forest were, lofty, mag-nificient, and valuable. They were not surpassed by trees in any other State in the Failed States. Tlu� re were many varieties. Our fathers were taught that cucumber and umbrella tre s were distinctive to Pennsylvania. The woods were then full of large flocks of wild pigeons, wild turkeys, sweet singing birds and beautiful flowers. Large herds of elk and deer roamed through the forest. Hear, panther, wolf ami wild cats wore plentiful. Occasionally a forest tire started, which was very destructive to the forest and the game, for a forest tire was then usually left until it burned itself out, or was extinguished by the rain. The l eoplo only protected their crops and buildings. The few people then living in these parts were mostly farmers, hunters and foresters. Fsiially any one pursuing one of these occupations was jack of all trades. Those | coplo cut very few trees, usually only enough to clear a small farm. They were not dint motive to the animal lift , killing only for food, furs and pints such as the wolf, fox, wild cat, panther and porcupine. Alnuit 1873. dolin Du Hois, Sr., started his mill for the purpose of removing the forest in this vicinity. Only the choicest trees were cut. Many valuable mil's remained untouched. They just renam'd the trunks, leaving the branches and the tops where they fell. In the course of time this refuse dried and in an unknown manner usually through carelessness, forest tires started, destroy-ing not only the brush, but also the valuable timber, wild animals and birds. Lumbering went on in this manner till at present there re- mains but one tract of virgin forest in Pennsylvania, which is Known as the Took tract. As the forest disap| ears the game and birds follow. At present the wild pigeon is altogether extinct, the wild turkeys an very scarce. The original Pennsylvania elks are gone. The elks in Pennsylvania now were brought from the west. The 1 leavers .ire gone from Pennsylvania. The deer, bear and most of the small game are following the pigeon and the I leaver. To save the animals and the birds we must save the second growth of forest. The easiest way to save the forest and game is to prevent forest tires. These tires kill more game in one year than is otherwise killed in twenty years. It is estimated that an average of one thousand five hundred birds nests are built on every acre of wood laud each year. The State of Penna. is replenishing the forest. State foresters are planting many tr es on barren land or land unfit for cultivation. A project of the State this summer is to start fifteen mil lion white pine trees or enough to cover ten thousand acres. The State pays many men to care for the forest. Their duty is to keep down the tinder brush and extinguish all tires they find. The Hoy Scouts also are helping with this good work. Without the fort's! not only the animals and birds would dis appear, but also the fish would suffer. For if it were not for the woodland the small streams would go dry, for the forest regulates the water supply. Protect the forest in every way possible. The wilderness may vanish, but let it be our aim to preserve the forest. ALLEN DIXON, '22. SANDY TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL FLAM REA I 17 YOU AND I. It is well known that 1 am always important.

In late years the Honor System has Itecome better known among the schools, and we cannot help but ms the gtssl results that come from its influence. One may ask why do we need this Honor System? The school life is the period when the young mind is being cultured, and habits art being formed which will make up the character of the men and women of tomorrow. If these habits are those derived from dishonest work then we can expect a generation of unloyal and untrustworthy citizens. How can this Is brought a I tout in our High School? Some may say it is impossible, but with the cooperation of every student, it cailld Is made a success. A class who will stand for a member to be “cheating” his way through does not have very 18 sandy township high school flambeac jtjhkI spirit. A class is judged from wliat its individual mem-Ihts «1 � . also a school is what the pupils make it. A person is as large as the thing he does, and we can s|s ak of a school in the same way, ticcnuw the pupils which make up the school are judged by their own doings, for this is the expressed side of life and is the only side that can he read. Therefore it is the only side to he spoken of hv the iwyciiologist with any degree of as su ranee. In sonic of our colleges we find the Honor system is not a success. Some may ask why this is. The only reason for it is, lawn use honesty has not heen practiced in the grades, and High School, and when they arc put on their honor they cannot realize the importance of keeping their promise. After all, can we throw away that old time-saving “Honesty is the best police.” L. E.

The members of the school who had played basket ball or who were willing to learn, joined the Y. M. C. A., and about fifteen candidates turned out to practice, and in spite of the handicap a pretty fair squad was selected. But tin tram was not what it could have been with a sufficient-amount of practice, on account of the Y. M. A. having so large a membership, the team could only get two short hours of practice each week, while the High School teams were getting from four to eight hours a week on their own floor. The team selected was as follows: E. Boss, Forward 1). Kupcrt. Forward J. l’ifer, Center B. Hetrick, Hoard. C. 'ranter, Hoard. M. Kessler. Sub. A. Hand, Sub. Later A.

Manager Boss and Captain Fifer in behalf of the team, wish to thank Mr. Harmon. Mr. Heffelfinger and Mr. Boundsly for their help in getting us the use of the floor and coaching us. Ye also wish to thank the faculty and the pupils of the High School for the hearty eo operation they gave us at our games and in help ing us to buy a ball, and we hope that they will continue to give us their help in our future undertakings as they have given it in the past, and we wish that all our letter men will turn out next year with the same spirit of sportsmanship that they have had this year.

L ., 22. 30 SANDY TOWN SUIT NIOH SCHOOL FLAM HEAT A ffenplf fflitluutt A (Cmmtru In earlier times Armenia was tin home of a cultured and progressive people, all the great virtues and vices were found among the Armenians. The happier side of life was present. lav social events gave life and color to the lives of these people. In spite of oriental tyrannies, she survived the assults of her more powerful neighbors. In her early Christian days, she was aide to treat triumphantly with her neighbors. Hut when the Turks and .Mongols from Central Asia reached Armenia, and made her people their victims; there was no ap|K al which could he made to the eunque’ror’s. Clemency and ehilvarlv they had no such qualities. The Turks | ossesscd no religion, no decency, no culture. Conquest for loot was their belief. They robbed, murdered ami violated all the laws of social decency. They deemed it no crime to destroy Aliens. For three hundred years the Armenian nation was virtually buri« d, yet it’s people adhered to it’s traditions, language and customs. From the fourteenth century to the world’s war. the Turks assisttnl by the .Mongols have imjM scd every kind of abomination and barbarity upon the Armenians. Their word has bi en refused in courts of law. their women could be seized at anytime. They have been banned from the army and forbidden to bear arms. There is no sjmu on the globe today where there is more desperate and hopeless suffering than in Armenia. In other place's there is a famine that moves as to pity and give our help. Hut in Armenia it is not starvation alone that the ]M ople face, hut starvation after years of destruction, wrought by a war that has never l� een ended, it is starvation following pestilence, hand in hand with death from exposure, violence or disease. In the .Mountains between Karo and Alexandropal there are 2G3,OIH) human beings without clothing, food or shelter. Cnless they are succored within a short time, they will all | crish. Scattered throughout the Near Fast, there are thousands of Armctii ans who have neither Country, home and shelter or hope of regeneration, save that which lies in the great heart of America. I erlmps we cannot save all the grown |M ople, of this oldest Christian nation in the world. Hut at least we can save the little children, who hold the future in their hands. They have wronged no one, and they have suffered through the precious years a calvary of agony. For three years the Near Fast Relief, an American organization incor]M mtcd by Congress, lias built iip the foundation of the new generation in the New Fast, with little children that it has taken in from the road side and nursed back to health, fed, housed and educated, in the name of the American |M op]e, who have furnished the funds for this great work. This has been our signal contribution to the world’s future peace—that tens of thousands of these little ones shall all their lives look to us with gratitude and faith. It is a se d of world brotherhood that we have sown. Shall we let it die now? “The Near Fast Relief is appealing to the American people for the money to go on with this work—to keep these little lines alive, and to save this martyred Christian pimple. Sixty dollar |s r year—ten dollars |H r month, feeds a child. We have taken this great res|M iisihilitv upon us. A whole nation looks to us in faith and trust. “We cannot betray them.” ALICE LANDIS, SANDY TOWNSHIP HIOIT SCHOOL LLA.MBEAL 31 Btrite One of the greatest assets of tin nation are birds. If they an destroyed, in a few years the insert will have multiplinl to stu-h an extent that the trees will lose all their foliage, plants will cease to thrive and crops eannot In raised. It has lieeii found hy dose observation and diss4 ction that a cuckoo consumes from r� 0 to 400 caterpillars daily, and from 200 to noil inserts or their eggs. The average insecfiveroiis hints will mtiMinic 100 insects a day. K. |H‘rts have carefully estimated the number of insect eating birds and have found them to be not less than . � birds |N r acre. A great nuuilK r of our birds arc liecoming more scarce each year, while many spt ries an now on the verge of extinction. The forces that work against the increase of bird life an : man,—the elements, accidents, cats, hinls of prey, snakes and other animals. Mow can W( protect the birds? All states have good game laws protecting the birds from man, which would save the birds if the laws could be enfumsl. Hut the laws are not enforced. Homeless cats should not be allowed to roam the country, and special protection should be given birds at least from May to August, for during this time the young birds learn to fly. The red stpiirrels destroy many more birds than any other of the wild animals. With a few exceptions, birds of prey rarely feed upon other birds, as much as they tease and worry them. They are of considerable value and have their work to do ami should be left in the place nut lire intended them to In . Some may think that by saving the lives of two or three birds a year, will not do much, but by taking all in all, their elforts would soon Ik felt in tin bird kingdom. Therefore taken as a whole, birds arc a help rather than a hindrance to the crops, and if in a few years they are killed, in sects will have multiplied to such an extent that crops will be destroyed by them, and also make it disagreeable to live. It is very probable that if the hinls decrease in numbers rapidly in the next ten years, it would cause a universal famine. EVELYN HEBEKLING, 22.

And on their laps, held firmly down, Were twins with golden hair! Now, this dell was enchanted, As I had oft heard tell. The Hrownies came here often, Ami the fairies knew it well. Tile scene passed on to ai lawyer's office, In which sail Claude Cminer in statu. Before him stood an excited lady. Whose tongue went ait a speedy rate. And so it happened that one iii« ht I wandered to this scene, And thereon the ground the quaintest thing, Was a Brownies’ moving picture machine. She was sueing for divorce from Robert Kranitz, It was Resse Whitmore. I know her now. This was her plea “lie makes eyes at Jean Helmrling, And that 1 will not allow!” No doubt this all sounds strange. But I know that it is true; And what 1 saw flashed on the screen, I’ll faithfully tell to you. Then came in view such a restful scene, A little cottage so cozy : And in the front yard, cutting roses red. Stood Vera Shaffer, with cheeks so rosy. A little Brownie dressed in given.
