I tell it as ’twas told to me.”—Editor 1 thank you, big family of Journal readers, for the interest you have taken in my efforts during the past six years. You have shown your interest in a wholesome and substantial way. 'through my paper 1 have striven to deal fairly with you, and in return you have dealt fairly with me. lhe period' through which I have served as editor could hardly be called a soft place in the span of time. I had been in the chair only a few months when broke furiously the greatest war of the ages. To the metropolitan dailies the war brought a tide of prosperity, but to more than two thousand country weeklies it brought an ebb of Jife,- and they are no more. Days were when newsprint could not be bought, for there was none in the market—or if some could be found, the price was prohibitive. All other items entering into the cost of producing a newspaper soared beyond the possibilities of covering them with income. But I had faith in you, and was confident if I .Should continue giving you a paper through this tedious period you would not fail to substantiate your appreciation after the storms had passed. And my faith in you has not been betrayed. A balance for my six years as editor of your newspaper shows that by your patronage I have m de some material headway—l have not amassed a fortune, to be sure, but I am pleased. Publishing a country weekly is a service that an appreciative community pays for in a coinage not always to be measured by the standard' of dollars and cents. I have learned to know you in -—a Very human way as I have reported your activities from week to week. In away, an editor does not make the paper —you make it yourself. Your editor can not make the news, he only can report it. By the kind of people ycu are and the nature of your activities docs the paper assume its character. If I have made The Journal interesting to you throughout the past six’years it is because you: and your neigh* bors have been doing interestingthings. Now and then you have done things that were hard for me to publish because of my personal contact with you; but my newspaper was a public human record —it was not me. Those have always beenZthe hardest “stories” for me to write. On the other hand, improvements about town, and things of this kind, awakened my enthusiasm and the stories practically wrote themselves. With placing the destiny of The Journal in the hands of Mr. Buettner, I feel that you are getting an editor who will serve you with a high standard community newspaper. His twentyfive years of experience editing country weeklies has given him a deep human understanding. Until he can get acquainted with you he will be a bit handicapped in reporting accurately the things you do, mistakes in names may creep in here and there, and occasional news items may be missed. But I can assure him you are ready to meet him more than half way and to assist in calling to his attention all such matters of interest. And now, although my period

as your editor may have passed, the friendship you. have given me and my appreciation of you I assume to be permanent. Preston Henry Miles. * o —-—-—o ‘THE HORSE’S PRAYER” To thee, my master, I offer this, my prayer:— Feed, water and care for me; and when the day’s work is done, provide me with shelter and a clean, dry-bed. Always be kind to me. Pet me sometimes that I may serve you the more gladly and learn to love you. Do not jerk the reins, and do not whip me when going up hill. Never strike, beat or kick me when I do not understand what you want; but give me a chance to understand you. Watch me and if I fail to do your bidding see if something is not wrong to prevent me from obeying. Do not overload /me or hitch me where Avater will drip on me. Keep me well shod. Examine my teeth when I do not eat; I may have an ulcerated tooth, and that you know is very painful. Do not tie or my head in an unnatural position nor take away my best defense against flies and mosquitoes by cutting off my mane or tail. I cannot tell you when I am thirsty, so give me clean, cool water often. I cannot tell you in words when I am sick; so watch me, and by signs you may know my condition. Give me all possible shelter from the hot sun; and put a blanket on me, not when I am working, but when I am standing in the cold. Never put a frosty bit in my mouth; first warm it by holding it a moment in your hands. I try to carry you and your burdens without a murmur, and wait patiently for you long hours of the day or night. Without the power to choose my shoes or path, I sometimes fall on hard pavements, which I have prayed might be of a nature as to vive a safe and sure footing arid I must be leady at any moment to lose my life in your service. And finafiy, 0 my master, when my useful strength is gone, do •ioI turn me out to starve or freeze, nor sell me to some brute, to be slowly tortured and starved to death; but do thou, my master, take my life in the kindest way, and your God will reward you here and hereafter. Amen. Please do not think me irreverent if I ask this in the name of Him who was born in a stable. — (American Press. * o ' Canada’s Land and Water Area.

, BOYS OVER 12 YEARS MAY 1 ATTEND CAMP ROOSEVELT i ■ Twenty-five dollars for three weeks, is what it costs a boy to attend Camp Roosevelt, conducted under the auspices of the Chicago Board of Education, near LaPorte, Indiana, and open to ; boys during the summer from all ’ parts of the country. Enroll--1 ments early in May indicate the ' national reputation this 6amp ' has built up and applications and inquiries are pouring into ' the headquarters from every ’ state in the Union. The reason is plain. It is open to any Am- ’ erican boy of good character ’ from the age of 12 years up. ’ While scores of private vacation ; camps exist with the exclusive memberships and tuition running into the hundreds of dollars, Camp Roosevelt continues to 1 operate on the pre-wWr basis of little over a dollar a day per cadet. The balance necessary j for the maintenance of this large institution is supplied by ■ public-spirited Chicago citizens,' who yearly contribute the needed funds. I The camp is divided into three sections, to meet the differing 1 needs of the boys. The summer school division includes seventh I and eighth grade subjects and all high school subjects. Credits ' earned in the camp school are honored on the samp basis as are i those received in other Chicago summer schools, of which the camp school is an auxiliary. The R. O. T. C. or military division affords the boy outdoor life and health activities in abundance; while the Junior Camp place the younger boy among suitable com-! panions of his own age. Major F. L. Beals, AC, 1 commanding the camp, is in personal touch with all boys under his charge. They respect and admire him as a leader of the highest calibre, a friend and counsellor rather than a stern unapproachable commander. His long experience in boy education ( has made him an ideal head for , I such a- big, democratic American ' institution, and he is never too , busy to go thoroughly into each ’ individual’s case. | o | TRIBES CONSOLIDATE I I The four local tribes of the I Improved Order of Red Men at Muncie were consolidated Monday with membership of more than 1,500, making it the largest Red Men’s lodge in the state.

Thought and Speech. ! The precise relation between speaking and thinking Is a’ matter hard to define but it is clear that in a person’s education the word and the Idea are Inseparable. When a child learns a new word he' learns a new Idea. When you enlarge his vocabulary you enlarge his mind, hew people would deny that clear thinking is the greatest aim in all education as well as the chief need in our civic and social life today.
