TALES OF THE
OLD FRONTIER
THE THINKER
Back of the beating hammer
By which the steel is wrought
Back of the workshop's clamor
The seeker nay find the thought
iThe thought that is ever master
Of iron and steam and steel,
That rises above disaster
And tramples it under heel.
The drudge may fret and tinker
Or labor with lusty blows,
But back of him stanas the
thinker,
The clear eyed man who knows;
For into tsch pliw cr cater.
Each piece and part and whole
llut go the brains of labor.
Which gives the work a soul
American Machinist. '
America Still A Land of
Opportuuity
The radical says it is not, but a
16 year-old Filipino boy, Guaden
cio R. Pinaroc, has proved that is
At the age of 13 , unable to read
or write English, he worked his
way on a boat to San Francisco,
where he secured a job as house
boy in an American family. Six
months later he secured a posi
tion in the home of a California
Assemblyman, Eugene W.Roland
in Oakland, California.
Three years after landing in
America he, in competition with
more than 42, 000 other American
boys and girls, won second prize
in the National Home Lighting
contest, being awarded a four
year scholarship in any univrsity
he may choose, s well as two cash
prizes of $500.00 and $50.00 given
by local and regional committees
of the National Electric Life
Association.
This boy is now attending high
school and is looking forward to
entering college. He believes that
the Uuited States is still a coun
try ef unbounded opportunity for
any one who is willing to pay the

WHEN COON SKINS WERE
MONEY
ONCE upon time there wa an
American atate named franklin
and although It had a governor, a leg
lilarore, court of Justice and even a
tnllitla of it own, It never wa admit
ted to th Union. Inxtead It wa
branded a an "outlow atate" and
It citizen poated a "rebel and
traitor."
In 1776 the aettlera In what I now
Cra Tenneeaee allied North Caro
lina to annex their land and their
requeat waa granted. But at the clone
of the Revolution the legllitire of
North Carolina ceded thin territory to
the federal government without con
ultlng the aet tier1 wiahe.
The pioneer were very ngry at
thl action and, calling a convention
In 1784, they organized a mate of their
own and called It Franklin In honor of
the great Phlladelphlan. They choe
for governor John Sevier, a leader at
the brilliant victory of King' Moun
tain during the Revolution, a inreeaa
ful Indian fighter and a nun who, un
der the nickname of "Nullchucky
Jack," wa on of the greatert heroe
of the old 8onthwet.
Although the new atate had a com
plete machinery of government, It
lacked one vital thing currency, the
