There will be day hikes, over night hikes, and adventure hikes. How many of you fellows remember the nisht we captured camp last year? CAMP KIItE. Practically every evening there will 'be a monster camp fire. At these camp fires the boys put on stunts, theatricals, or story tellingScouts should bring- their musical instruments. Usually there are some grood story tellers on the camp staff as well, and then the camp song-a. Mr. Conley. assistant camp director of this year's camp has had considerable experience as director in community singing- and will be of fe'reat assistance along this line. RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS. "A Scout is Reverent." A special program will be followed in camp on Sundays with religious services held in the morning and evening. These services will be absolutely non-sectarian. The Scout Oath and Laws will be tho topics. These services will be conducted 'by tho Camp staff and by prominent educational or religious men from the outside. Provision will be made for Catholic boys to attend mass at Niles, Michigan, every Sunday. CAMP STORE. As a Scout feda he cannot get along without sweets, a camp store will be conducted, candy bars, fruit and gum, etc., will be sold, no soft drinks. Not over 10 cents worth of candy can be bought each day and this quantity may ibe cut down, if the camp staff so see fit. Post cards, writing tablets, stamps, Scout manuals, belts, buttons, shoe strings, etc., will be handled. Bo will deposit all money brought to camp at headquarters on arrival at ramp and will be allowed to draw it only as needed. No boy will need more than $2 spending money for two week periods, and can get along nicely with half that amount. A WORD TO THE PARENTS. The supervised tut free outdoor life and the group influence of the Boy Scout Camp means much to a boy in these "teen" days. He needs such a support. Your 'boy will be strengthened thereby. It will help him to worthily find himself. We pledge you safe conditions, able and ample supervision and a fine quality of leaders-hlp for him, leadership pledged to his welfare. We want to help him and you, this and other summers. We want to answer any questions which may arise in your mind as regards to your toy attenttlng summer camp. R. C. PIERCE, President of Council. L.

He does not live in this state but he comes here quite often on a visit as he has relatives living near my home. He writes to me while he is at home and when he comes here he sends invitations to come up where he is visiting. But I refuse to go. Do you think I should accept the invitations? There is another young man who lives near here who has written me eeveral letters, but I failed to answer as I did not want to gain his friendship. He is twenty-five years old and I think him too old for me. There is another young man whom I admire very much. He is twenty-two years old. He tells other people he likes me better than any other girl, but when he. meets me he never talks to me as he is bashful. How can I ijain his friendship? Would it be all right to write him a nice frier.dly letter? I have a girl friend whom I admire very much. We have been going places together but as she keeps company with so many men that are too much older than she is folks talk about her. She is eighteen. As I do not want my character run down what can I tell her so she will not wish to go with me any more? WEDDING BELL. You should not accept the invitations from the boy to go to the place where he is visiting. You might answer his invitation hy asking him to come to see you. It would not be all right to write a friendly letter to the bashful boy. All you can do is to be pleasant to him when you meet him. Even if he is bashful if he really wanted to know you better he would muster uo courage to get better acquainted. People very often exaggerate and so you cannot place too much importance on what other people say he says about you.

NEW YORK, June 17. Peteer Stankowitz just couldn't eleep the other night. The air was hot and ftuny, and his eyes wouldn't stay shut; but other people were sleeping away a comfortably as could be, so far as Peter co-Jld deduce. At least he heard no sounds In any adjoining fiat or on the street. It made him pretty mad. 'Twasn't fair. He got up and walked the streets finally in dispair. Along early in the morning he passed the Lightfoot Schultz Soap Company's plant. Revenge on the world that could sleep when he couldn't dawned in his heart, and lured him into the engine room. Sleep, would they? He'd see. Peter turned on the steam and (blew the whistle. The whole neighborhood works In that plant and there was horror throughout the homes, when they heard that long whistle and ihpv all utill asleeri! With shoe-laces flying and their har unsmothed. the j men and girls for blocks around began flocking to the factory. Foreman Hugo Lange got there first and discovered Pete. The law put him in a nice cool cell on a charge of malicious mischief, but if It hadn't done it and done it quickly, 200 factory employes would have thrown him into a still coller river and have seen that he didn't get out. Tariff bills are about aa dry reading as most anything imaginable, and this is particularly -unfortunate, because there are pretty important things in them that It wouldn't be a bad thing for the public to understand. Some interests represented here In New York are tremendously concerned tooth ways, for Instance, In potah. It is a simple sounding subject but Its cause is exceedingly involved. It seems. Naturally, if other countries want to undersell cur own products to us, they carry on live propaganda for that purpose. Potash is a leading matter for propaganda just now for Germany and German export agents In thl country, and like most of America's export and import affairs, a lively commercial side of the fight Is being conducted on. Manhattan Island. America wants to develop her own potash deposits, It seems, and she has excellent ones. If she could have five years to get on her own leet, potash-ly speaking, it is declared that then she could sell a.s cheaply as any foreign potash interests. Moreover, her potash is a particularly good quality, experts testify. But the propagandists of the foreign business enterprises who are humanly concerned In their own interests, have been' working to convert the farmers to the idea that a pro-I tective tariff on potash would cost h JR thompscn i People will be less apt to talk ' about an eighteen year old girl who keeps company than about you since you are only fifteen. You are very much too young to think so much about boys and to go places with them. Since you want to stop going with the girl, tell her you can't go when she invites you. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl twenty-three years of age and although I have gone with a good many boys I have never met one that I loved. I have refused several proposals, thinking that later on I might find my ideal man, but I am afraid I never will. I do not want to be an old maid and so do you think I would be happier to marry some one or to remain sinele? There are two that I think quite a bit of. One is thirty-seven years old and the other is twenty-four. The former has proposed marriage but I refused as I thought he was almost too old for me. I believe I think more of the other one. He has not proposed yet, but he seems to think quite a bit of me. Please advise me. TOPSY. You probably consider yourself quite aged, but in reality you are a very young woman. Do not marry some one iust for the sake of marrying. If you wait two or three years longer I feel confident you will meet some one you can love. Of the two you have mentioneJ I should think the younger man would be preferable. Dear Mrs. Thompson: My son is engaged. Would it be proper for me to call on the girl and her mother? MRS. F. H. J. Yes, it would be proper for you to call. I am sure the e-irl will anj predate your coming. It i3 a small tning, but win mean much to bring about a feeling of closeness between you and your future daugbj ter.

them J2.50 per acre. The experts who have gone into this subject explain that as the duty asked Is about i rt'O and one-half cents a pound, the actual added cost to the farmer would not be more than 25 cents an acre which is quite a different :hing. The chief use of potash Is for nourishing soil which ha been robbed by successive crops c-f Us natural potash, and a secondary mse is for black powder. One reason that every nation feels it necessary to (ievelop its own potash fields where possible, is In order to be independent of any other nation In case of future hostilities.

Probably the smallest church In Xew York is that of the Spanish Episcopalians. Few know that It even exists. It Is hidden away frdm general view and ds sought out by only a small number of worshippers.

It is tucked away on the second floor of th Mlssldns House, in a room little larger than the ordinary New York apartment living room. It ,will hold -nearly fifty people, however, but rarely are there more than five or six In attendance. If only two are there or one the minister. Rev. K. Granefd Mantero, proceeds

Maybe, its piopbnents believe that the Viennese atmosphere will prove more ravorasie to the persuasive efforts, then that of the men's own home . town, Xew York. Richard Strauss himself has gone to Vienna to conduct "Salome" in the presence of the Metropolitan powers. Rosie Reeve, eleven years old. of Chicago, is the latest prodigy to come td New York. With a record of having Just completed eight years of school work in one year, she has come here to enter Columbia University. Her father took her out of school in the fourth grade and under his own system of instruction she was able last year to pass college entrance examinations. Rosie is still a child, however, and this is a relief. "I want to be a lawyer."' she told a reporter who Interviewed her, "so I can speak at the bar. I should also like to be a singer and have six children." Nothing overmature In her point of view, however much there may be In her acquired inforrnallbn. LUCY JEANNE PRJCE.
