j Camp Fire Girls j
(By Hilda Dickenson)
The Wauna Camp Fire girls held
an informal meeting at the home of
Mrs. H. Wade LeRoy last Friday
afternoon. The object of the meeting
was a swim in the new pool located
across the street.
The girls reported a wonderful
time at Camp Kiwanis. They were
given lessons in camp craft, nature
and hand craft. Most 'of the girls
won honors in each division. Ten
out of the thirteen girls attending
camp won medals which is a nation
al honor of special event. It is the
highest honor presented at camp and
represents hard work and good
sportsmanship. Also the girls are
especially elated because one Athena
group won the special honor for
"Neat Tent." This group included
one girl from Walla Walla.
In addition to these honors they
learned a number of clever songs and
stunts to teach the girls who were
not able to go.
Miss Florence Craven, the camp
executive, pronounced the girls good
campers and real Camp lire Girls.
She gave special mention to Esma
Iliteman as one of the best all around
girls in camp.
World News Made Up
of Wheat and Chaff
Do not be distressed overmuch by
news of evil. This Is a wide, wide
world. It contains much that is bad,
but more that Is good. Righteous
ness is slowly, but surely, triumphing
over sin.
If you do not believe that, or mere
ly have not realized it, turn for a mo
ment to contemplation of happier
things. Turn your tired eyes from
the day's record of evil to the day's
golden roll of honor. There is more
of good news than of bad news today,
every day. There is more to see on
the sunny side, and It Is more worth
seeing.
There are only two reasons for
gazing at ugly things: either that we
may more fully know evil when we
meet It, even in gilded robes; or that
we may grapple with It and blot It
out.
Broad highroads of honor lead to
every worthy goal of life. The mud
roads are in the lowlands, leading
only to dissolution and corruption. If
we travel the mud road It is at our
own volition.
Sin is not the harvest of life. It is
the chaff threshed from the whole
some grain and will be swept from
the threshing floor. Why look upon
the chaff when the grain is there?
If some days the volume of chaff
seems greater than others, know that
the threshing has been more thorough.
This Is a wide, wide world, and full
of sweetness for those who would find
It. Helena (Mont.) Record-Herald.

Surprised Mother
Kelvern Krnuse Is a ten-year-old
boy who attends school. At a parent
teneher association meeting the other
day the stntement was made by a
speaker that at a test in some schools
70 per cent of the pupils asserted they
would keep the money If a street car
conductor failed to relieve them of
their fare.
When his mother arrived home from
attending this meeting she put the
question to him as to what he would
do if the street car conductor failed
to take his fare. He knew nothing of
what had been said at the meeting.
His reply was that he would give the
conductor his fare.
The mother said to him In a some
what surprised tone: "You would?
Why?"
"Don't you think It takes money to
ninke the electricity that runs those
cars?" was the retort. Indianapolis

Match's Origin
Tho first friction matches were the
invention of M. Derosne, a French
man, and were first used In S1C, but
were little used otuside of France un
til 1827, when John Walker (no rela
tive of the famous Johnny Walker of
the nnte-Volstead days), an English
druggist, made the first really prac
tical friction matches, which were
known as "Congreves," and within a
few years their use spread all over
Europe and America, supplanting the
use of flint and steel with tinder box
and sulphur tipped splints of wood
called spunks which were the common
means of obtaining fire until Walker's
invention was popularized.
ted by the Lions
The staple diet of the African bush
man is the leftover kills of the Hon.
The animal invariably announces his
kill ou the African night air and the
bushnuui who hears his cry indicates
the direction by pointing nn arrow. At
daylight he looks In that direction for
the vultures, and In this manner he
locates the leavlnf of the Hon, and
drivluc the bird scavengers away he
takes their place and eats his fill. The
women and children follow the men to
i he Fpot and nre allowed to partake.
If anything Is left the vultures may
have It.
