Eighty More Visitors y
For Camp Good Will

Eighty new visitors will be installed
in Camp Good VIII this afternoon. There
are fewer than one hundred there now,
so that the weekly day of change will
be unusually pleasant in that only a
few will have to come back to the city.
Camp Good Will was replete with it's
usual quiet pleasure today. The chill
dren yet had rosy recollections of a
wonderful trip to the Zoo, and they
amused themselves by scampering about
the woods.
One of their most popular games now
is the peanut man. The peanut is Ger
tainly not a redoubtable animal, and
even as a vegetable 1t is hardly a
mouthful. But there Is lots of fun in
looking for II, and great deal OF Zest
is added to its flavor when there Is the
uncertainty of fnding it, snuggled under
a rock or under the moss.
The managers of the camp have been
feeling very much gratified over the un-
usually fine health of the occupants.
There have been no serious accidents,
either. stubbed toes or scratched fingers
being the worst that have been reported.
Among those who will go to the camp
this afternoon are the members of
family so numerous that they must
carry an entire trunk of clothing. They
will all be transported In the grocery
wagon of a friend. The others will
to Burr Brothers.
The auxiliary committee for Camp
Pleasant reported today that conditions
there are fine. They made an inspection
of the camp and found the mothers and
children enjoying themselves

Bebeshank, Kahdeen, Maggie, and

With the exception Of Maggie Warren,

north winds that sweep across their

friends in Washington they are still IN

startled cannot readily be told. for they
do not often change expression.
When Bebeshank and Kahdeen and
Isabel posed for The Times they showed
varying emotions. They faced the cam

gun. But as they saw others smile
they started to smile, too. They WINGED

KITCHEN ARTIST LOVES HIS
CRAFT.

Now and anon appears a great artist
whose love for his art is SO supreme
that he refuses to be seduced by the
worlds mammon of unrighteousness.
He loses himself in his work, like some
brooding alchemist in his laboratory
underground or Cervantes in his cell.
The hope and courage which sustain
him center in the beauty which he
shall ultimately bring forth.
Such an artist is Max Braun, whose
chosen profession is the making of
pastry for a Boston hostelry. The an
nouncement was brought to him in
breathless haste a few days ago that
he had inherited $4,000 from an uncle
in the Fatherland. Casual acquaint-
ances and low onlookers-who called
him a cook-expected to see him rush
for the steamer with his apron on,
and to begin ordering gewgaws and
time killers by wireless. Max scarcely
looked up from his work. Diogenes of
the oven merely asked the messenger to
step out of his sunshine, while he added
a pinch of cinnamon here and a touch
of vanilla there. Even the effort to
magnify his windfall by translating it
into terms of marks has failed to shake
him into a state of interest, not to
say avarice. Mr.. Braun has handed out
an ultimatum to the effect that he will
continue to exercise the high calling
whereunto he was called, as St. Paul
somewhere says, and will leave the for
tune to draw interest where it is.
1t is positively tantalizing to think
of the cohfections which are no doubt
turned out by an artist like that. To
think of his product as pastry is almost
to degrade him, highly though real
pastry should be esteemed. His
meringues are compounded of honeydew
and moonlight; his crusts are shortened
and baked with nicely worthy of the
mixing of a love philter. The cara,
vanserai in which his studio is located
has in him an asset which is rather to
be chosen than great riches. With a
mediocre $4,000 in his immediate pos
session, he would have sunk to the
level of the idle well-to-do-a sort of
financial Tomlinson, who was neither
rich nor poor. As pastry cook in love
with his art Max Braun enjoys one of
the few, the immortal names that were
not born to die.

CUTTING DOWN THE COST
OF LIVING.

Dispatches from Des Moines-birth-
place of the most modern and efficient
system of city government-tell of an
other innovation in the public interest
that is being experimental with in
that progressive town.
In the effort to bring producer and
consumer together, the town govern
ment turned the big lawn surrounding
the city hall into public market place.
On a given morning the farmers with
loads of truck, and the buyers with
baskets on arms, were simultaneously
admitted, to undertake the experiment
of direct dealing, eliminating the mid
dleman, and getting the freshest goods
at the cheapest price to consumers.
The whole town seems to have fan
cied the plan, and turned out to give
Endorsement on the opening day. We
are told that new potatoes sold at $l.75
the bushel that formerly commanded
So and 81; that apples which had been
bringing 25 cents the peck fell to 10
and ~; eucumbers had been selling at
10 cents each, but dropped to one-third
that price under the influence of the
middleman's elimination. Other things
in proportion.
The need for a return to the old
marketing custom has been apparen.
for long time. The difficulty is that
people have got the habit of marketing
by telephone; markets exist in COM
paratively few cities of the sort which
Des Moines is now enjoying; and where
they do exist they are commonly of no
capacity to meet the requirements of
any considerable proportion of the
people.
No more important question con-
fronts the cities and towns than this
to which Des Moines has attempted to
give an answer. If the farms will take
their wares to the markets-and they
willard if the people will go there to
meet them-and they show increasing
disposition, under the pressure of ne
cessity, to do so-then the cost of liv-
ing will begin to respond very quickly
to the advent of a new and better eco
nomic condition. 1t is largely matter
of making the housewife, the street car,
and the farmers wagon do the work
that express companies, delivery
wagons, telephones, and middlemen
have done in the past.

81 Thought Of You, Mother"

When a boy, Governor Russell, of
Massachusetts, came near being
drowned. The boat in which he was
sailing, was capsized, and he had to
swim more than a mile; but he final
ly reached the shore in safety; and
when he reached home and told his
mother what a long distance he had
to swim, she asked him how he man
aged to hold out so long. 81 thought
Of you, MOTHER said the boy, "and
kept on swimming The thought of
mother helped him in the moment of
his greatest need, and thus saved his
life, not only to himself and to his
mother, but also the state and ma
ton. The thought OF mother has
saved many boys and girls, men and
women, from sinking. Indeed it
has done more than that. The thought
of mother has not only saved men
from death, but. it has inspired them
to the most noble and heroic achieve
ments: the thought Of mothers
love, mothers life, mothers tolls,
mothers endless sacrifice. mothers
sleepless nights for our comfort and
safety-thoughts of these things
have helped many souls over the
rough and dangerous places in life
and finally into Fathers house.-The
