She » taught school for 16 years after she * grew up, and then decided to become <a community organizer. * She heard of a plan in Denmark along similar lines, and journeyed to » that country to gather information. + She returned to Louisiana and set | up her plan of organizing, receiving authority from the state and assum- ing sole control. Visits Each Community Her plan is simple. Every citizen | of each community is included in the program. Monthly meetings are held 44 each center, at which Miss Mims takes charge. These mectings are sponsored by the Louisiana Farm Bu- reau and State University Extension } department. Each community works ; out its own objectives according eT its requirements. Programs have a threefold pur- |} pose—business or economic. civic and health, and social, with a spirit- ual theme woven throughout. In the frst connection, Miss Mims aids in organizing the community work for grading of farm and dairy products, and organizing community fairs which serve as agents for grading and improving livestock and agricul- tural products. Through the second and third part of her program she strives to im- prove the health of the community. for beautifi of the home and; public grounds, and finally to im- | prove the recreational centers of the ; community.

Finally Jack stows away on the Zeppelin and inadvertently sees Pearl being assaulted by an Indian rajah, who Bas taken pacsage on the skyship. He eses this knowledge to force the rajah to let him dress in hi clothes. Jack plans to leave the Zeppelin at Hongkong with Pearl.

SYNOPSIS: J HAD sufficient quickness of wit to kick the gun out of the rajah’s hand and to put the flat of my foot squarely in his stomach. The impact and a slight lurch of the Zep- pelin sent him spinning into his berth. I swooped on the gun and whipped out some cord I had brought from the baggage room. “Maybe this will make you listen to reason,” I said, and 1 bound his ankles and wrists and pulled them tegcther until he winced with pain and surrender, “All right.” 1 said, lessening the ¢ hi see te had forced the rajah to order a high- ecipitously vacated close to the fF red, closed automobile to mect Berth: set down, leaned forward and jim at the Hongkong began to talk.

Dare, Pearl's antagonistic father, had employed the congulate at Friedrichshafen as his agent to keep us apart at that place; in all likelihood, Hongkong had already received similiar instructions. _. “How well do you know Hong- kong, Meat Is there an American bank there?” “Certainly. The American-Pacific Msrine. It has branches in all the important cities in the Orient.” didn’t know then that the American-Pacific Marine was the “oil interest” bank of the Far East. And Homer T.

Give him your full name.” “For what purpose?” “He's to have a three-seater am- phibian ready for a Sight-secing tour of the harbor.

Palmer, state super- intendent of public instruction told the Nort Dakota committee on illit- eracy at a meeting here Monday. Miss Nell Cooper, Valley City, chairman of the committee on illit- eracy appointed by Mr. Wilbur, called the meeting at Bismarck for the pur- pose of organizing to care for this il- literacy problem, if any. Miss Palmer told the committee there were 9,937 illiterates in North Dakota as regis- tered in the census of 1920. Following @ state-wide campaign conducted by Miss Minnie Nielson, then state super- intended, the number of illiterates was reduced to 2,883 at the time Miss Palmer took office in 1927. “It will be seen by the figures’ that illiteracy in. North Dakota is less than one-half .of one per cent, Miss Palmer said. “I think illiteracy has been reduced | to the irreducible minimum in North ; Dakota,” Miss Cooper said. Members of the committee stated that the few | lliterates in North Dakota are, for ‘the most part, old Indians on the res- | ervations who have no incentive to learn to read or write. | It was announced at the meeting | that a request has been made to con- gress to permit the federal census bureau to advise the committee of the names and addresses of North Dakota jilliterates as listed in the last census. | This ‘would give the committee a basis | upon which: to work, it was explained. Members of the committee, in ad- dition to Miss Cooper, are: J. W. Wentland, Beach; J. H. Phelps, Cros- by; A. O. Halvorson, Rolla; O. C. Med Ralph C.
