The Ninth Grade has a very low
percentage of absences. Only tnree
have been absent lately. They are
Millard Windham, Willard Brunsen,
and Charlie F. McCrary. It seems
that Charlie Frank started walking
to Crowell’s School to meet the truck.
Something attracted his attention,
which caused him to get left. We
wonder what was so attractive.

Caribou Rank* Next to
Seal With the Etkimoa
Next to the senl, the caribou Is the
most useful of milmnls to the Eskimo.
It Is only the eonst nntlveg who can
bunt the seal, ami all Eskimos are for
bidden by their taboos to have seal
meat and deer ment In their Igloos at
the same time.
Taboos ore rules which the Eskimo
believes he must observe; If he did
not, the spirits would be very angry
with him and spoil his hunting, so If
he wants to get uny food for himself
and his family, he thinks, he must be
very careful not to break any of those
rules. Tlds makes Ills hard life very
much harder.
Eskimos who live away from the seo,
therefore, depend entirely on the cari
bou for food and clothing. The enrl-
bou is different from all other members
of the deer tribe and Is found only in
the Barrens and the extreme North.
They live on the moss and tundra
which grows there and never come ns
fnr south ns the bush country where
this moss does not grow.
The Eskimo uses up every particle
of the animal In a surprising number
of ways. All the ment (took-too, be
calls It) Is good to eat, but the tongue
and the back steak are the choicest
morsels. Next, he splits the bones to
get the marrow. It looks like hlnnc
mange that has been colored pink, and
the Eskimo ents It frozen, although on
very special occasions, he has fried
marrows.
“Food of the Goda,”
Name Given to Cacoa
The tropical tree which is the source
of chocolate Is called the cacao. In
Its leathery, cucumberlike fruit are
cacao pods which contain cacoa beans,
according to the National Geographic
society. But when the beans are roast
ed and ground, ami much of the fat
is pressed out, the remaining brown
substance (ground to a dry powder),
Is cocoa. If the fat Is not pressed out,
the darker substance is chocolate.
Credit for the manufacture of choc-
olnte from the hidden seed of an un
prepossessing fruit belongs to the orig
inal Inhabitants of Mexico. In lfilB,
when Hernando Cortez Invaded that
country, he discovered that the cacao
tree was widely cultivated. The na
tives had concocted a drink called
“chocolatl" or “cacahualtl,” from which
have come the names “chocolate” and
“cocoa.” Frothing pitchers of choc
olate were served by Montezuma when
lie entertained Cortez.
Students of American native cus
toms have estimated that the drink
was In use 1,000 years before the ar
rival of Europeans. According to Mex
ican mythology the seed of the cacao
tree was carried from a new world
version of the Garden of Eden into
Mexico by Quetznlcoatl, God of Air.
The fruit, It Is related, was a favorite
food of the gods. The great Swedish
botanist, Linnaeus, christened the fruit
Theobroma cacao, meaning In Greek
“Food of the Gods.”
Where Snow* Come From
The weather bureau says that the
greater number of more or less heavy
snows come with southerly to easterly
winds—l.e., In what Is known as the
“rainy" portion of the cyclonic or
storm area. These winds generally
are relatively mild. As the storm
passes, the winds come from the
northwest, roughly, and are relatively
cold. In short, precipitation comes
with relatively warm easterly to south
erly winds, and clear weather follows
with relatively cold northwest winds.
If. then, the winter wind Is from the
northwest, It Is cold and from the
wrong direction to give much snow.
This presumably Is the origin of the
saying, "It Is too cold to snow.” This
statement, however, Is not literally
true, for light snows can occur at any
temperature and It occasionally hap
pens that heavy snows occur when the
surface air is quite cold.
Architect* Organised Early
Architects for many ages have joined
together In voluntary associations for
the protection and advancement of
their profession. As chief artificers
they organized themselves Into guilds
in classical times and countries, and
this practice was revived In the medie
val period and again In the Eighteenth
century. An architectural club was
formed In London In 1791 and there
was an architectural society in the same
metropolis In 1800. The Royal Institute
of Brltisli Architects was organized In
1834, with Earl de Grey as presi
dent. The Architectural Association of
Great Britain began about 1840 nnd
the Architectural museum, Westmin
ster, was opened July 21, 1809. The
American Institute of Architects was
Incorporated In New York In 1857.
Mantelpiece Burglaries
At Intervals during more than 150
yeurs, epidemics of Adum muntelplece
burgluries huve occurred In England.
Back In 1779, Shakespeare's manu
script of Richard III was stolen nnd
sealed In a mantelpiece which, upon
the owner’s death, was sent to a close
friend whose housekeeper unwittingly
sold It for junk. Ever since, thou
sands — including burglars — have
Searched for this precious treasure In
vain.—Collier’s Weekly.
Poles Apart
The north and south polar regions
are in complete contrast. The Arctic
contains about 1,000,000 Inhabitants,
bns much plant and animal life and a
summer three months long. The Ant
arctic. being much colder, Is a vast
field of ice without any lift except
mosses and one Insect which is active
only a few days each year.

This country likes to say that it is
a land in which the majority rules
This is only partially true. A more
exact statement would be
that a majority of those who vote,
rule. The unfortunate part of it is
that less than 60 per cent of the peo
ple vote. In nearly every national
election there is enough who do not
vote to change the result of the elec
tion.
