( AMR PERIOD SET IConflnu«‘«l From Piur^ f)n»> coi Ung to Mr. Wilson, have voluntarily given much service to scouting, and it is because of their interested leadership, that a strong and varied program can always be offered at Krietenstein. Cubbing has in recent years proved increasingly popular at Camp Krietenstein. The Blumberg cabin, reserved for cubs, is always full. The Cubs, always busily engaged in their own program, find time to really landscape their little village. They now have a rocky, moss-grown pool, and wild flowers scattered about, making an attractive setting to which they are ever adding. They have their own dining room, own swim time, own council fire, maintaining as nearly as possible, complete independence from the Scout

program.

The waterfront program is proving even more attractive this summer, lue to the inclusion of a number of

5711E cathedral square lay jjdrenched in sunlight under a JJblue sky. Its by-ways echoed the ringing church bells and the shouts of the happy, motley throngs. The houses ami shops, gay with festival colors, clamored with householders greetings. Cheers rose from balcony and window ax the great parade of trade guilds and religious societies swung into the square. flood natured crowds elbowed each other for vantage points. Mothers and their children, ap- : enticee, olerke, frtara end nuns; wandering students, masterless soldiers, peasants, players and minr.lre's; tumblers, servants, laundi .Sts and beggars; all mulled in tlnong, their faces bright with * I’ mcnt.

demanded.

Gregory turned briefly to Sampson "Is the law on our i ide if I y;iy I do”" he whispered. Sampson shook his head in denial. Gregory stretched his huge body to its greatest height. "No, sir,” he answered insolently. “I do not bite

my thumb at you, sii ” He stopped suddenly, his thumb in his mouth. "But 1 bite my thumb!” The word i hurled themselves into the others face. “And you do you quarrel

Abraham knew the law well. No

“But if you quarrel, I am for you." jeered Sampson. He ripped out his swords and pointed to the cathedral. "1 servo as good a man

as you," he challenged.

“No better," roared Abraham. “Yes,” shouted Samson. •‘Better.’’ "You He!" thundered Abraham Steel clashed against steel. The I few remaining idlers about the cathedral scattered like frightened sheep, and their shouts of warnings brought the henchmen of both

houses into the fray.

Benvolio, his sword in hand, burst through the doors of the cathedral. "Part, fools!" he commanded as he rushed into the square. “Put up

your weapons."

Hard on his heels ran Tybalt. "Turn, Benvolio," he cried, "and

look upon thy death.”

Benvolio wlin led sharply. “Put up thy sword, Tybalt. I do but keep

the peace.”

Tvbalt threw back his head and laughed. "With drawn sword he

Montague strode proudly past. The old Lord and Lady were

accompanied by Benvolio, their nephew, and were followed by their retinue of henchmen, impressively

garbed.

A sudden murmur stirred the crowds. Were not those henchmen aimed? The murmur rose uneasily. Was not Lord Montague's page carrying his master's sword? Frightened eyes found the rapier at Benvolio’s belt. Arms. Sword.

Rapier. Were these the fieeta symbols the Motagues chose? The cheers died down and smiles grew fixed and lusterless. The House of Montague continued on its way, mounted the cathedral steps and stood in waiting. Involuntarily their rank closed up and their hands reached to sword hilts. As one man they stared toward the equally brilliant entourage heading

for the square.

Down the steep side street leading to the cathedral marched the House of Capulet, deadly enemies of all Montagues The Lord and Lady of this second great family of Verona were followed by their nephi w Tybalt, who, like Benvolio,

lead their retainers.

A quick glance confirmed the worst fears of the crowd. The Capulets, too, were armed! And even as the people edged toward safety they were held fascinated as the win ring families came'face to face. As if bv signal Tybalt and Benvolio broke from the ranks to meet each other with rapiers drawn. The square lay hushed in fright. The crowd.'? knew well the outcome. This was war to the death, not only for Capulet and Montague but also fer everyone within distance of their swords. _ And even as Tybalt and Benvolio stood cn garde, the strains of the "Te Deum” sounded from out the

church. Slowly the doors opencik

The rapiers were sheathed. The first note of the church service had put an end to the duel before the

awords had crossed.

But the people, terror still clutching their hearts ran to their homes and shops, as the Capulets and Montagues, black hatred in their faces, entered the great cathedral. Now the square was filled with the henchmen of both houses who lounged and swaggered about waiting for their masters to finish their devotions. Some lolled on the sunny wait outside the cathedral. Some ate fruit purchased from passing vendors Their nonchalance ill-con-eealed their pointed contempt and belligerence as they eyed each other

like dogs before a fight.

Sampson and Gregory of the houee of Capulet edged toward Abraham and Balthasar, Montague retainers. Sampson reached quietly Into a packet of fruits and hurled a half plum at Abraham. The two Montagues turned sharply to glare Into the innocently vacant faces of the Capulets. The latter rose lazily from the wall and sauntered nearer. As they came abreast the others, Gregory bit his thumb, leering in inrult. Abraham bristled in anger. "Do you bite your thumb at us, air?’’

he growled.

“I do bite my thumb, eir,” Gre-

gory answered mockingly.

The square ran with the blood of

clash of steel. Stealthily the bal

conies and windows filled with hor-

ror-stricken, shouting people. The clamor brought Lord Monta

the church ,, a Rage and triumph blazed in the

eyes of the wildly battling men. So intent were they that they did not heat the clatter of horses' hoofs,

nor did they see the Prince of Ve

rona and his soldiers gallop into

the square. "Rebellious subjects!” cried the Prince, as with the flat of b • sword he hit the fighting men nearest him. "Will you not hear me?” he roared in mounting rage. "You men?'" he thundered. “You are beasts! On pain of torture throw your mistenrpered weapons to the ground." Bleeding faces and battered hoadn were lifted in surprise. The fighting ceased as abruptly as it had

begun.

and Montague have three timee dluturbed the quiet of our streets." His eyes wandered over the square littered with torn banners. His glance fattened sadly on townsfolk, unfortunately caught in the chaos, their clothes covered with blood and sweat. It hung for a moment on a beggar trampled by his soldier's horses. It grew stern as he viewed the broken doors and ruined shops lining the square. At last he turned

to the Lords.

“If ever you disturb our streets again," he said solemnly, “your Uvea shall pay the forfeit of the peace! You, Capulet, shall go along with me. And you, Montague, shall come this afternoon to know our further

pleasure.’’

He raised his voice to the other*. "For the time, all the rest depart away. Remember! On pain of death, all men shall depart." Silently the depleted ranks closed behind their lords. They would obey the prince's edict because they hud no other choice; but their set faces and hard eyes showed that no edict could erase their hatred. As Lord Capulet followed in the wake of the Prince his mind turned from the royal displeasure to other

matters.

“ Tis good," he said to himself, “we had not our daughter Juliet with ns this day.” Lord Montague headed down the street with Benvolio. “Who set thin ancient quarrel anew?" he asked. And then fell silent, expecting no answer from Benvolio nor getting

any.

"Saw you Romeo, my son, today?” he asked at length He sighed heavily. "Right glad I am he was not here."

ORA DAY’S WHEAT AND OATS URDUS EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD Ora Day, whose farm is north of Fillmore, had exceptional success with his wheat and oats crops this season, compared with the results on many other Putnam farms. On 25 acres of wheat, he secured an average yield of 23 bushels per acre, machine weight, which was. he' said, three pounds heavier than the standard weight of wheat. The viel 1 from his wheat fields surprised him. inasmuch as the indication a little while before harvesting, was that tli“ crop would run much lighter. Tlv rust was had in one field, hut did not affect another tract, and the crop from the latter raised the averag" for the entire wheat acreage His oats yield was exceptionally good. 29 acres fielding an average of 60 bushels to the acre. Of these 2fi acres, there were 10 acres that produced 683 bushels This. also, was machine weight. The standard for oats is 32 pounds to the bushel Mr. Day contemplates feeding hii oats, the market being too. low to make it worth while to take the crop

to market.
