RICHMOND, INDIANA, SEPTEMBER 21, 1918

$1,180.40 Is Sent to Belgians from the Richmond Fower Sales Eleven hundred eighty dollars and forty cents was the final sum of money sent off to the Belgian children from Richmond as a result of the Forget-me-not Flower sales given by the city boys and girls in August and September. This was sent to Major Osterreith, the Belgian military minister, last Thursday, and from Washington he will send the money directly to the queen of Belgium, who will divide it out among the Belgium refugees. Since the Germans are holding all of Belgium except one little corner, many thousands of the Belgian children are over in Holland, England or France and in order that schools for the refugees may be kept with the Belgian customs and system, and even Belgian teachers, many men and women are doing all within their power to keep the Belgian nation from being entirely destroyed, even though their lands are invaded by the enemy. The money which was sent to the Belgian babies will mean that the children not only will be kept from being cold and hungry, but it also will mean that after their country has been given back to them, they can go back with their same uaint customs and language, and the old Belgium which all the world loves, will not have been entirely lost.

Poets and novelists talk about the "hunter's paradise." This still exists but it is no longer at the door ofthehTn last great haunts of the big game today are the Canadian Itackie and Alaska In these two places big game is yet plentiful, and the reasonable sportsman who ha! nolhing Tof the "game hog" in his system-and what good sportsman hasT-may satisfy his amb turn to enjoy Tfew weeks of the sam! sort of hunting that "Leatherstocking." Cooper's famous hero und at his very elbow, and to place on the walls of his great hall or his dining room the heads of moose, deer Rocky Mountain goats, bear and other specimens as witness of his prowess as a marksman. ,. In the Ko enays in southern British Columbia the sportsman still can find withn a few miles o ! each other? what stands today as a record list of big game, six different animals the moose mule deer Rocky Mountain sheep, caribou and grizzly bear (ursus horribilis), the last named being the greatest prize a North Scan hunter can secure, he Indians believed that the possession of a necklace of grizzly bear daw. made a brave worthy of the name, and the white hunter has always made it a point to deal with the grlzz y with the greatest prudence because old "silver tip," when wounded, is one of the most ferocious animals in In Alaska, under Uncle Sam's flag there are thirteen varieties of bear .including the famous Kodiak, which enjoys a reputation for ferocity equal to that of the grizzly and Plenty of mounta n sheep and I goats, deer and caribou. There is good, safe sport in the Canadian Rockies and Alaska; the guides do not overlap territory in these vast regions; and one hunter beinj shot by another or by a guide, is an almost impossible accident.

Causes of Germany believes in war because Prussia, the powerful state that rules all the empire, always has found war to bring in money, new lands and influence or national pride. In the first place there is a tradition that the very name of the rulers of Prussia was given them because of their robber-band spirit years ago when they lived in a strong castle overlooking one of the most traveled roads, and whenever travelers passed by, they would rush down onto them with swords and daggers and demand large sums of money. Whether or not this is true, the fact remains that in German "hohen zoll" means "high tax" and their name is Hohenzollern. And more than that, every portrait which any of the kings of Prussia have had painted show them in war-like poses. Even the portrait of the present Kaiser William II, which was painted to represent him taking up his rulership, shows him mounted on a charging war horse, with his sword in hand, making him appear as nearly like the old war god Thor as possible, and yet he said that he believed in peace. (From the war information film, "Wake Up America.") "The Prussians seem to have a Twentieth Century mind, with their genius for modern science, but a Twelfth Century heart which glories in all the old medevieal spirit of war and conquest that other nations have out-grown," said Mr.

the War Bentley, principal of our city high school, in one of his war lectures. But in material gains it is true Germany has profited' by wars. Prussia was once one of the small little kingdoms in a neighborhood of rival little states, but by fighting and continually brawling, the little bully grew more and more powerful until finally, in the rough and tumble history of those little German provinces, Prussia found herself the big bully the gang leader of Germany. But Germany at that time was a' restless, unhappy, discontented mass of conquered' states, who hated their master, Prussia, although they feared her. And Bismark, at that time the great statesman of Prussia, declared that the only war to get the Germans united was to make all of them fight against some one else. It was on the same principal that the best way to keep two boyB from fighting each other is to have a third boy start calling them names. It was for this reason that Bismark brought on the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, and by skillfully arranging the matters so that France declared the war, Prussia was able to gain all Germany to her side, and together they defeated France. At this Bismark has succeeded. Germany was united" and glowing with pride and glory of their nation under Prussia's rule. Bleeding France was forced to pay the price. In money, Germany demanded

Frederick von Bernhardi, a German military leader, who in 1911, wrote the famous book "Germany and the Next ar," says in it that Prussia's power had iU foundations laid by successful wars which had been purposely brought on. That none of the wars which Frederick the Great had fought had been forced on him, and that he never had postponed any of them as long as possible. And he addB that lessons from history prove to the Germans that wars which are carefully planned and brought on, have the happiest results.Uncle Sam Asks Boys to Locate Walnut Trees Patriotic service which all boys can easily render is locating black walnut trees. The government is badly in need of black walnut lumber and wants to know where every tree of this species is located, so that if need be they can buy the lumber of the owner, or at least to know what there is in the country to depend upon. County Agent Kline, who has. his office on the first floor of the Court House has asked that all boys or girls in Wayne county notify him of any such trees they know, and he will send the report in to the government. If pride leads the van, beggary brings up the rear.

Dalton and Wayne Have Boys' Pig and Corn Clubs Dalton township and Wayno township are red letter spots of Wayne county in the National Agriculture Bureau, because of the interest the boys of those localities take in the clubs the state, has wished the country schools to organize. Dalton is the only town ship in the county that has a pig club, and Wayne is the only township where the boys have formed a corn club. Beginning early in the spring, however, County Agen Kline hopes to be able to Btart many other clubs of this sort all over the county.

How One French Boy Helped Louis Raimbault was a boy who lived in a small village in France. His father was the only baker for miles around. Louis had often helped his father make the soft, powdery flour into crisp, brown loaves of bread. He had long wished that he, too, might be a baker like his father. One August day news came that Louis' father must lay aside his baker's apron and put on the uniform of a soldier. He must go with the other able-bodied men of France to drive the Germans from the land. Before joining hia regiment, he baked ovenful after ovenful of bread. He knew the women and children and old men would have none unless he made it for them, for in France all the people buy their bread - at the bakeries. They do not make it in theiT homes. So he worked without rest or sleep until at last it came time for him to leave. After his father had gone, Louis waited on the people who came to buy bread. At the end of the first week only a few loaves remained. "Mother," said Louis, "I can make the bread now that Papa has gone." "No, Louis," his mother replied, "it is impossible. You are not strong enough." "Anyway, let me try," begged little Louis. Finally his mother consented, and helped him the best she could. To the surprise of all his first baking was a success. The people of the village and of the country flocked in to buy his bread. Some of them came to see Louis at his work. Often they found him in the hot room, stripped to the waist, kneading the dough, or nimbly taking the crisp loaves from the oven on his long handled shovel.' Often his back ached and his arms were tired. But he never complained. He felt that he must do his part to help France. Once when a neighboring town had no bread, this brave little boy did the work of two men until someone was found to replace the baker who had been called to the front. During a great battle when hundreds of poor refuges streamed through the village, Louis worked day and night in order that the hungry people might be fed. When the battle was over and the refugees returned ,they saw the great general return little Louis' salute with a smile, as he passed through the village. National School Service.
