Hfitorhm tolrjr ST. JOHN REVIEW VOLUME 14 ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1918. NUMBER 47 Little Jimmy "Jimmy" that was his name. Ho was just a little, woo fellow, with a face frescoed with freck lea and fathomless blue eyes that looked straight at you as though in somewhat dubious inquiry as to what your attitude might be toward Jimmy himself; for there were tho3e in the neighborhood with whom he was not in high favor; who regarded him as a sort of neccs Fary evil, perhaps. Undoubted ly, ho made a lot of noise. He had an old dilapidated wag on whose dismal creaking and noisy, persistent rattle broke forth on tho stillness of the.street simultaneously with the dawn. For Jimmy was an curly riser; and it seemed to mc that he re garded it his special mission in life to rumble over the pavement with that disreputable, raucously protesting wagon and keep peo ple awake who wanted to sleep. Ho loved that wagon; it wus Iub most treasured posession. If he chose to get un at dawn just to rattle along with it over tho pavement well, perhaps he had a right to; but wu didn't use to look at tho matter in that light. Came then a day, tho duwn of which was unaccompanied by the crcakings nnd groanings of Jimmy's wagon. The day follow ingand tho noxt tho Bounds were likowioe misBing. Then glancing from my window down toward Jimmy's house, 1 saw a physician leaving there; an ho looked very grave and thoughtful as ho climbed into his car. 'Early tho noxt week a littlo procession started slowly from tho house where Jimmy had lived, nnd I learned that ho had loft tho dilapidated little wagon behind forover; that the small, wno boy had crossed over tho border whoro discords and jnrr ing sounds do not intrude. And somotimcs now, when I nwuken in tho morn, thcro is something strangely oppressive about tho silenco nnd stillness of tho street. Something is sudly, vitally missing. I go to tho window which looks out upon tho street and then tho realization comos to mo that I have gono thcro to catch tho sound of an old, creaking wagon, coming rumbling along over tho pavement; that I am thinking of a little, weo boy as I gaze out into the deserted street; that lam striving hope lessly to catch a fleeting glimpse of Jimmy. Exchange Receiving Good Care Mrs. J. M. Gillespio is in re ceipt of tho following letter from Snn Antonio Toxas, concerning her son, Edmund, who 'is a patient there: American 'Red Cross Fort Sam Houston Hospital Sept. C, 1918. Mrs. J. M.

If there is any way in which we can be of any use to you or Edmund please do not hesitate to call upon us. Very sincerely yours, American Red Cross, Wm. K. Ewing, Asst. Field Director. The teacher was trying to give her pupils an illustration of the word "perseverance." "What is it," she asked, "that carries a man along rough roads and smooth roads, up hill and down, through the jungles of doubt and through the swamps of despair?" There was a silence, and then Johnny, whose father was an automobile dealer, spoke up. "Please, ma'am," he said, there ain't no such automobile." People's Home Journal.

Tho Juniors of James John High enjoyed their first party of this term, at the home of Gwlndys Keeney. Nearly all participated in a uniquo pro gram, which was followed by in- interesting games and refresh ments. Tno party was given as a farewell to Edmund Kugcl nnd Kelsey Cook, former presidents, who left with tho boys of tho class of Jan, 1919, for 0. A. C. Many of our older James John boys have gono to O.A. C where they will take up intensive mili tary training and special college work, with other boys who have eft Portland's schools. They are popular Hoys and we shall miss them greatly, of course, but wo are proud that they are giving their juBt and patriotic se vice to their country.

James John will perform pat riotic service by cleaning Sphag- num moss tor the uea uross. Each room is to clean moss in dividually under the supervision of Muriel Thomas, who has been appointed to this position on ac count of her experience with the moss. Every boy or girl who cleans moss is requested to wear a towel or cap to prevent any hair from getting into the moss. as hair cannot be sterilized and will work thu a bandage into a wound, doing much harm. Recently, a French officer, Vincent de Wiertzbicki, who is here from Washington D. C. gave us a very interesting and eloquent talk on the subject, What France thinks of this war. Among the things ho told us was that the Allies thought the Unit ed States had remained neu tral for good reasons and for some not so good: that Germany had long before planned for this war that she might gain more power, tie traced ine main events irom tne negining oi tne war, giving us, in detail, the Deportation Probable Five declarant aliens of Swed ish, Finnish and Russian nation alities hnvo in tho pnst three weeks turned over to local ex emption board No. 10 at St. Johns' the village selling books, and i. ii .i t '.. i.,.ij. .i . cancellations of their first citi zenship papers, thereby obtain ing exemption from military service. bach ol these declarants was 4ii class 1 of the draft and fisher men. The names have been transmitted to tho Government naturalization bureau, whore re cord that will forover bar them from becoming American citi zens is made. Eventual deport ation probably will be the port ion of these men. "A little investigation con vinces me," said n draft olllcinl, "that those men believe they will not be deported until the end of tho war at least, and that in the meantime they can amuss a lot of American money. 1 be lie 'n their deportation at an early date will be arranged. I only wish that employers would refuse to engage them, as in the enso of pro-Germans." Legal advisers, helping the new reg istrants fill out their qucstion aires, encounter many men who withdraw their first papers and thus relievo themselves of lia bility to military service.

The Student Body of Jnmos John High has voted to publish the Ttimalum, the school maga zine, every quarter, instoad oi annually, as has been the custom. In this way no ono class will have all the responsibility, as the Seniors heretofore havo had. The student council, after long consideration, nominated cand idates for the positions necessary to the publication of the Tuma- urn. These candidates were vote j upon last week, with the following results: Hugh Whisler, business manager; Melvin Wos- leder. asst. manager: Alverda McNiven, editor in chief; Gen evieve lirown, literary editor; Denby Coon, art and music ed itor; Paul Chatterton, athletics; Alice Brown, public welfare. A society has been organized among our Aiumi, the memhers of which are those who received enough honor points to get their pins at graduation. During the summer the members met and elected Charles Spackman temporary-chairman and Opal Weimer temporary secretary. Unal Wei mer and Alice Gilstrap, who are on the committee for drafting constitution, have been busily working on it for several weeks. The business will be largely carried on by correspondence. Be Slow to Judge 1 often hear a fellow say, when pointing to a neighbor, "1 reallv think that idle jay should do some uesful labor. Ho tramps boring thus his nutters; and in these times of war, gadzooks, wo have small use for letters. Ho ought to beg or steal a hoe, nnd work out his salvation, nnd make a hill of spinach grow, to help to feed the nation." Per haps the neighbor's wearing bells.as on his path he's drifting; perhaps the clolhbound books he' sells are loyal and uplifting.

Some of the objects in view for the society are to hold the members togethor ; keep up their interest of the school, nnd put up a standard for thoso who are working for member ship. The practical siie of it's work is to start a scholarship fund which will onablc future members to go to college if they need aid. They have planned to hold a reunion every four yoars, and elect their officers for that period of time. How the Money is Used in normal times in peace times it costs about a billion dnllnrs n year to run tho Govern ment. For tho fiscal year ended j lino iiv, ivm, L ongress appro priated in round numbers, in' eluding deficiences, $18,882, 000,- 000. I or 1919 Congress has ap propnated in round numbers nt the present session, including deficiencies and appropriation bills pending, $2-1, 330, 000. 000. The mind is often confused over 'appropriations" and ex penditures.'.' Congressional ap propriations fix tho limit of what may lie used, l hen tho Govern ment Departments and bureaus spend what is necessary, nnd nt tho end of the year the appro priation lapses. Official figures show that for tho fiscal year 1918 tho Government spent $12,-G915.702,-171.1I. and in addition during tho war months of 1917 disbursed ?38r,000.000 for loans to Allies. Up to tho very dny wo entered tho war Germany believed that victory for tho Genernl powers lay just ahead A strong factor in this calculation wus their be lief that .the Entente powers were finnncinlly exhausted. Germany hnd spent fifty yonrs preparing for a war of conquest. She knew that from its very stnrt she must wago it from within the circle compose of herself and her Allien, that she must pro duce from within this circle her raw stuffs and manufneturo material and by doing this tho tho war was continued far beyond the eighteen months that Germany set for its winning if there was to ho a winning she iu pt her money nt home, used it over nnd over ugain, ns tho same water turns the wheels of many mills. Our Allies, on thu other hand, owing chiefly to their lack of preparation, had to como into tho markets of the United States for most of their war necessaries, and in the years of our neut rality their account with us totaled approximately J?l),-ir3,G2 J, r!7. A nation nnd an individual are alike when they want to buy anything they must havo money or credit which is based on money. Our Allies wcro short on both nnd we supplied their need. Wo advanced thorn money airl credit, and wo called tho transaction a loan. In tho fiscal icars 1917 and 1918 wo loaned thtm $.),023.000,000. Thoir so curl tic and governmental un lcrtnkingH to ropny lie in tho vaults of tho Treasury of tho United Statu. What our Allies did with that credit, or monoy is of vast importance to us. Thoy look to us to supply them with wheat and corn and cotton from our fields, coal and oro from our mines, nnd finished products from our factoriosund foundries. otherwise thoy could not remain at war, ho thoy brought this credit wihi wo had lent thorn in to our markets and spent it over our counters. During tho fiscnl yoar 1918 our oxportu amountod to So. 000,000,000. Six billion is six thousand million! Most of thoso wont to our Allies, and was turn ed immediately and oagorly in to fighting stuff for winning thoir war- our war.

Besides tho enormous expend itures embraced in thu term "munitions of war," thoy huvo spent tf 00. 000,000 for cereals, $800,000,000 formout and other foods, and SUOO.000,000 for cot ton. Sambo had boon haled before tho court on achargo of chicken- stealing, A groat deal of very damaging testimony had been submitted to substantiate tho charge. Thoro was no lawyer present to defend harnbo, and whon tho prosecution had com pleted its case tho judge turned to him and said: "You are charged with stealing chickens; havo you any witness.'" "No. suh!" answered Sambo. "When I stoal chickens I don't have no witnesses!" t A little boy just four years old is permittod to go out each morn ing and get the mail after its delivery by tho rural carrier.
