Those who cannot leave are the only
ones who compose the home guard, and
they too, are the ones who get
real comfort The camping out ques-
ton is one that vexes nearly all who
study it, and there are as many sides
to 1t as there are disputants. There
are those who contend that summer
comfort consists in getting into the
woods and living on food at which the
campers would rebel if they had to eat
1t at home, and sleeping on beds that
would make a tramp uncomfortable.
There are also those who contend II at
real enjoyment can only be found at
home, where there is tempting food,
cool drinks and comfortable beds. Tn
problem is like politics and no amount
of discussion will settle it. Each fol-
lows his own desires and is statistic d.
perhaps. But the Sunday outing is
popular with all classes, and the city.
is deserted each Lords day this time
of year. The mountains, the streams,
the woods all attract somebody, and
those who are left in town on these
days are few in number. The churches,
most of them, will hold no services for
the next few weeks, on account of the
prevalence of the vacation epidemic
and the pastors will be able to obtail
the rest which they certainly requi e

The boys of Esmay's band have add
ed much to the enjoyment of the STAY

concerts, and the crowds who have lis
tened to their music in the band stani

appreciation in generous applause.
This. however, is not all that the boys
are entitled to, and the ladies of the
Episcopal church have arranged a lit
tie benefit for them this week On
the night of the weekly concert, Fri
day, the ladies of the guild will serve
refreshments during the concert. and
the proceeds of the affair will be turned
over to the musicians, who have at
forded so much pleasure to the pl bic
this summer The scheme is a BOD
one and will certainly meet with gen.
