The Camp Fire Girls
The Muskogee Camp Fire Girls
have finished the course pre
scribed by the National organiza
tion qualifying them for 'the
second or five maKen’s degree.
During the winter months they
need books to prepare them for
the work to be done in the
Spring. The question of making
money with which to buy books
has been perplexing the girls.
Mr. Harris the popular man
ager of the Amusu, opened the
way last week by offering them
the proceeds of the Pecan, Sugar@
Cane and Potato Jubilee. The
girls made a nice little -sum and
gave their friends an opportunity
of seeing an extraordinarily
Paramount picture Scenaric at
our popular little theater for the
very small admission of a hand
ful of potatoes, pecans or Sugar
Cane.
The entire proceeds were given |
to the girls, the expense of runn
ing lights, pictures, ete. being
borne by the management.
The girls are very grateful to
Mr. Harris for this courtesy and
hope to repay him in a way by
boosting his business, that of
giving to our town the best stag
ed censored moving pictures.
They also wish to thank our
grocerymen, Messrs. Tisdel and
Wilson, for purchasing the pota
toes and cane. They shall show
their appreciation by patronizing
‘these stores when they buy the
food to be used on their camp
next summer.

has a fount of information about
the economic and political condi

and his two tours of investigation
have given him the opportunity to
bring back with him great number
of tell tale pictures, taken from
scenes in the penal colonies of Si

the cruelty of Russian officialdom
and the total absence of humane
instincts in their rigid enforcement
of most cruel sentences for the
‘most frivolous offences, The lec

American so that he may learn the
nature of the forces with which
the western civilization is threaten

the press has never been accused
with the inate depravity of which
the Russian stands convicted,

THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE AND PRESS, WEDNESDAY, NOV 922 1915
lßaby Elephant Admitted To
Membership
Atlanta, Nov. 21—Apropos of
the election of Con Kennedy’s
baby elephant to honorary mem
bership in all the Rotary clubs of
Georgia, there 1s a pretty rich
joke out on Lee M. Jordan, presi
dent of the Atlanta Rotary ciub.
The election of the baby elephant?
'to Rotary occurred in a momeet qfi
excited enthusiasm when Zall the
clubs were assemhled in Macon.
The baby elephant danced before
the gathering, like Salome before
'Herod; and the Rotarians, like the
king of old, told the elephant she
could have anything she wanted
but that is neither here nor there.
The election of the - elephant
didn’t set well on President Jor
dan’s chest. He thought 1t was a
rather undignified thing and with
out any acrimony or unkindly
feeling toward the elephant, he
l‘expressed his opinions, -
He was still feeling deeply on
lthe subject after his return to At
lanta when Henry Grady disguised
!nls voice and called President Jor
ldan over the telephone,
‘s this President. Jordan of the
Rotary club#? inquired thé strange
voice; and Mr. Jordan responded
in his pleasantest manner.
““Yes, what can I do for you?”
“Well, this is Mr. Boyd, speak
ing. I am the-keeper of the Grant
Park zoo and I understand you are
now admitting animals to member
skip in thetßotary club. I have a
very. . intelligent. -baboon- named
Charlie, and 1 wish to propose his
name—.” : §Eo
The voice never got any further,
for at this juncture Mr. Jordan
threw thé telephone out the win
dow. ' \
HEREAFTER 1 shall deposit my,
money in The Exchange National
Bank. I see in recent sworn state
ments published in Fitzgeraid papers
that it BEARS EAR-MARKS of
GREAT STRENGTH. I understand,
also, it is an HONOR ROLL BANK.
I don’t know exactly what that
‘means, but evidently it has donel
}something EXTRAORDINARY for
‘the benefit and protection of the pub
llic, or else it would not have AT

‘Reasoning Mind. |

SENSES OF TREES. i
Something Almost Human In Some of
the Plants’ Actions. - |
Mr. James Rodway, who is the cura
tor of the British Guiana museum and
an eminent botanist, declares that
plants have at least three of our five
senses—feeling, taste and smell—and
that certain tropical trees smell water
from a distance and will move straight
toward it.
But trees not in the tropics can do as
well. A resident of an old Scotch
mansion, says a writer in the Scots
man, found the waste pipe from the
house repeatedly cheked. Lifting the
slabs in the basement paving, he dis
covered that the pipe was completely
encircled by poplar roots. They be
longed to a tree that grew some’ thirty
yards away on the opposite side of the
house.
Thus the roots had moved steadily
toward the house and had penetrated
below the foundation and across the
basement until they reached their goal,
the waste pipe, 150 feet away. Then
they had pierced a cement joining and
had worked their way in long, taper
ing lengths inside the pipe for a con
siderable distance beyond the house.
There seems something almost hu
man in suclh unerring instinct and per
severance in surmounting obstacles,
Chivalry.
