Baptist Young People's Union, at the
rally of the Western Willamette asso
ciation. L. H. Strong attended the
meeting of the western naturalists at
Reed college. The question of what
the naturalists could do for the war
was taken up and it was recommended
that the school children all over Oregon
be set to work gathering Spagman
moss. This moss is very plentiful in
Oregon, and it has thirty times the ab
sorbent power of cotton. Hence, it is
in great demand in the trenches. Miss
Maude Chollar and Miss Theodora Bush
nell were visiting at Chehalis.

rial for the work was secured from ar
ticles In recent issues of the Literary
Digest.
The Latin classes started their month
ly vocabulary matches last week. These
will continue Into this week's work.
Members of the first term English
classes are greatly interested in work
ing out a series of lessons to be trans
cribed on permanent sheets and bound
together In the form of texts, called
"First Steps to Composition,", which
may be passed on to future entering
classes. These lessons were started
the first day of school in the new year,
and will be completed by the end of
the semester. All the principles cov
ered in .the semester's work will be
touched upon in these lessons. Begin
ning with the simplest elements of the
simple sentences, the classes will work
through the compound, complex, and

LONG, long ago. one cold winter, when

Iroquois there was very little food and
the people were ill from the famine and
the cold.
In on lodge there lived a handsome
young brave named Nekumonta with his
young wife, the gentle Shanewls. Now,
Shanewls was suffering for food and
every day "she grew weaker ana w'eaicer,
and when Nekumonta saw her suffering,
his heart w"as filled with grief.
"1 will go out and find the healing
herbs which the good Manitou has
planted. Even if they lie hidden under
the anow, I can search and find them."
So he covered his wife with warm furs
and put all the food that they had beside
her and, put-ting on his warm clothes
and taking his staff and buckling on bis
snewshoes, he kissed her goodby and
set out through the forest on his search.
.
He went skimming over the snow with
his snowshoes nd he wandered all day
long In the forest, looking about every
where, but he could not find the healing
herbs. The snow lay deep upon the

school and one which commands no
small amount of attention from the vis
itors and students is the architectural
drawing room. The present instructor Is
E. Francis Williams who has made sev
eral improvements In the curriculum
during his Incumbency of two and one
half years. Many of the cabinets, tables,
chairs and other products of he wood
working shop were planned in this room.
The walls of the room are indicative of
the class of work turned out because he
specimens of draftsmanship exhibited
there on plates fully testify to this.
Houses located In almost every con
ceivable position. lakes, mountains,
farms,, etc.. give the Btudent experience
in building houses for the city and varl
ous climates. Leading up to these per
spectives are a series of plates which
teach him the rudlmental and necessary
ways of construction and require his
complete attention otherwise he will not
understand. The placing of plates on4
the basement walls before setting the
joists and the reasons for doing this Is
but tone of the many problems to be
solved by the student draftsman. In
connection wiht this work, the students
will receive instruction in cartooning to
assist with the pen and Ink rendering.
When assigned to draw the plans and
details of a. house, the draftsman must
make floor plans, four elevations, detail
all places where special attention Is re
quired and then draw a perspective of
which he makes two or more render
ings, one a painting and one in pen and
ink. The graduate draftsman is always
in demand by local architects who have
been convinced by previous experiences
with these men.
The school was favored by a visit
from several members of the Technical
club of Jefferson High school a short
time before the holidays.
The dance given in honor of the Feb
ruary, '18, class by the alumni was a
highly successful affair and was held

A plan whereby the students may
have the opportunity of making metal
fittings and apparatus used by the city
was submitted to the city council a week
ago Wednesday. The school would take
the scrap metal from the city whk'h has
been selling the old metat to junk deal
ers. The students would make ,these
parts In connection with their regular
work and would derive no little experi
ence from the task.
At the assembly last Wednesday morn

America have been helping support
the postofftce departments of foreign
governments to the extent of between
fjO.OOO and $100,000 a year. The craze
for possession of stamps which have
never been postal ly used Is held respon
sible for this circumstance. L'nusAl
franking labels present a more showy
appearance in the albums than do the
cancelled ones, and retention by each
stamp of lts-o. g.. the philatelic term for
"original gum." adds to the future value
of the stamp.
America's contribution to the postal
revenue of many of the smaller foreign
governments, as large as it Is believed
to be,' is considered small, compared
with the aggregate purchases by col
lectors of Germany before the war came
and. with It, an official ban by the Ger
man Imperial government against the
Importation of stamps. Germany's deal
ers In stamps were Importing annually
several hundred thousand dollars worth
of unused labels up to August. 1914. ac
cording to an American philatelic authority.
w-
Since the beginning of the twentieth
century, wheu this desire for unused
stamps becaane almost universal among
collectors, it is figured that more than
$1,000,000 has been transferred from the
pockets of American philatelists into the
postal treasuries of foreign nations. This
estimate is based upon authoritative In
formation that a certain New York
stamp firm, one of the leaders In that
trade, imports about 2.1,H0 worth of
unused stamps yearly. This represent
the purchase of only one house of the
many in America.
Certain foreign governments have not
hesitated to take advantage of this
craze, with the result - that they are
s,oly strangling the goose which laid
for them this philatelic golden egg

lectors' demands for unused stamps, sent

known that more varieties have ap

Today soma of the leading philatelic
authorities assert that the situation ha
passed its climax and that the . trend of
buying tend toward the acquirement of
only postally used stamps insofar aa
twentieth century Issues are concerned.
These dealer say openly that thay ar

believing that mora ' general . collecting
of tha used labels of the present cen
tury will place philately ppon a sounder
basis. Already one leading firm is
known to have adopted . a iolicy ot 1m
porting fewer unused stamps and mora
of the cancelled one. For one thW. it
will he a blow to those unscrupulous
dealers who take advantage, of every
opening to quota excessive price on
unused stamp which, odd in shape or
peculiar in design, attract th immediate
attention of the juvenile collector.
That this new policy will he a blow to
some of the foreign postofflc depart

philatelist who have been studying th
annual report of the department
since th war began. The policy la de
signed In part to smash, this practice
of speculation abroad.
The 'stamp of Great Britain's Virgin
Islands have always been popular with

colony for the fiscal year wMch ended
In 191 showed that the net loss on th
working of the post off Ice was $1700, f
whereas In the year Srhlch ended tefore
tr-e war began there wa a profit V
$23,540 a drop of more than $42,000. .
Regarding this difference, E. D. A.
Tibblts. then a chief postal clerk, said :
"The loss Is almost entirely due to the
decrease In the sale of stamps to deal-'
