HOW BROKER CAMPBELL
SURPRISED WORKERS..
James Campbell has donated to the use of
the Fresh Air Committee the tent pavilions
at the various parks. where milk and
crackers and lemonade are to be supplied
NJ. Campbell entered the lists of the Fresh
AIT plans was a fervent surprise to the
mission workers
1t is best told by President T. Percy
Carr, who said to The Republic:

committee vert to Forest Park yesterday
, morning nornlng. prepared to dispense refreshments
! temporarily IN the Laciede pavilion. We
mad not made arrangements for our own
tents. What was her surprise to find a large.
new tent erected near the Transit CON.
pany's pavilion. An invitation brought to
light the supplies of the mission safely
housed from the sun in the tent. There
were several men in attendance.
Mrs. Eberhard asked for an explanation.
Imagine her amazement when she was told
INA hnnt the tent belonged to Mr.. James Camp
employ. Mrs Eberhard detected a conflict
at once. but she was permitted to have full
sway In the tent. She related her discovery
bell at his Office where we found him en-
5oying the joke. Very mildly We suggested
that he was stealing some of our thunder,
but he was a bit mad about it, and told us
quietly and in a busnesslike way that the
| tents were his contribution toward the
! Fresh Air plans.
He hastily wrote an order to the men
, whom he had employed at his own expense
I ana directed them to turn over the control
or AFFAIRS to the representatives of the fund
But he insisted on retaining the helpers
who IN ne had employed. That is the. story
II. Spencer is responsible for putting the
idea into Mr.. Campbelrs head.'

one is situated at the Transit Company's
Laclede pavilion, and the other is at the
l1indell pavilion. Both Of them are located
