Cold and gray are the waters which Luke Tchad spreads over the lowlands of central Africa. The traveler in Africa finds the mystery of the dark continent more haunting and unfath omable here than in the baffling mazes of the jungle or in the silent smile of the sphinx. Heavy winds toss the shallow waters about and whisper their secrets through the reeds. But the lake makes no answering confidences. It stretches on and on, measuring its mil■ s of surface in sweeping wave lengths. As fur ns the eye can see ahead are the reeds and rushes reaching up through the water in tangled masses. Here and there the line of the gray ex panse Is broken by slender islands bearing li]> a few round-t->ppcd native hut s, mil lined dimly against the sky line. The effect is that of a painting seen through gray glasses, reducing the whole to a low key. It is in the grayness that the lake's effect of mys tery lies, the grayness that hovers dull and cheerless over waving reeds. The traveler gazing across Lake Tchad for the first time feels file thrill of discovery. The knowledge that he Is not the first to stand upon the banks does not dispel the feeling of entering file most shut-off place in central Africa. lhe People s Store, Phone The following are the names of the men drawn to from Jackson county to fill the army call for June, The 12 Electric Sparks chosen under the special call to take mechanical training at Portland, June (From Off Our Wireless) 15, arc: Cecil (I.
