days is Dad Carpenter. who puts in
an appearance at every tent early in
the morning almost simultaneous with
the sounding of "ReveiIle" Dad" is

woe to the scout who does not turn
out promptly with the first sound of
the bugle.
Many of the boys complain that
Dad has unnecessarily strong arm

all the sympathy Dad" gives. and he
has become expert in detecting boys

To the Scout Editor:

To the Scout Edltor:
Troop 10 is not very active just now,
many of the boys being at summer
camp or planning to go there, and
Scout Master Partin, also. being occu-
pied with business. Some of the boys
manage to do some tramping. however.
and there is considerable activity
among individual scouts.
Last Sunday | took a hike with one
of the Scout Masters out through the
country for about seven miles and re-
turned feeling fresh as daisy and
greatly improved by the outing. I can
recommend a similar trip for any scout
wishing a good tramp near the city.
We left the residence on X street.
near Fourteenth, and walked over to
Ninth street, where we took a Forest
Glen car to the District line. From
this place we walked along the road
following the car line to a cross road
and then went over to Forest Glen
railroad station. We figured the dis
lance about three and half miles or
seven miles for the trip. We walked
back to the District line again and took
the car home.
The entire trip was made between ESQ
and o'clock. The hiking occupied

To the Scout Editor:
Troop 43 is pretty active now consid-
ering that a good many boys are out
of the city. We are planning to go
to summer camp the last of next
month. The boys do not want to go
without Mr.. Filkins, our Scout Master,
and he can not get away until that
time.
we are all greatly pleased with The
Times, and the accounts which nave
appeared of Troop 43, not to mention
the pictures. Last Sunday some or
the boys were greatly pleased to see
their pictures in print There are only
a few OF US left now to attend the
weekly meeting. When in full force,
our troop is larger than any except
the Y. NJ. C. A. troop, and believe
We have been larger than that troop.
At our last meeting there were only
about twenty boys present. but this
number will increase as soon as the
hot weather passes and the rest or
the Scouts get back to camp.
We all look forward to the Sunday
Times because we find what Is going
on in the Boy Scout troops here and
also get a good deal of useful infor-
nation regarding what Scouts can do
in different ways.
Very truly yours,
Scout Scribe, Troop IS.

To the Scout Editor:
Members of our troop are looking for
ward to a short outing at Camp Archi-
bald Butt. near Chesapeake Beach,
some time during August 1t had been
our intention to have a troop camp, but
the difficulty OF getting a small camp
into working order for a short time
seems a heavy undertaking, in view OF
the ease with which the boys will break
into conditions at the big sumDer camp.
The list of those who are to go has
not yet been made up. but, as many
boys of our troop are out or the city
for the summer, there will probably not
be more than ten or a dozen boys to go.
Some of our troop have weekend
camp at Washington Grove. and are
having a good time. Hayes Jack,
Charles Conner, and Harry Walford are
among the party.
SIX bows have formed a kodak squad
and are working hard TO become expert
enough to obtain merit badges in pho
Biography. Just now the boys are prac-
ticing and do not expect to take UP their
merit test work until they are more pro-
ficient in ordinary photography. When
we get some good pictures, We want to
have some of them in The Times.

so serious that DR., Gibson of Langdon

A sad and fatal accident occurred at
the farm of Charles Soeby at Beaulieu
last Monday evening when Hans Hottie
met his death by stumbling and falling
on an iron brace which projected from
the side of a wagon, box the brace pene-
trated the right eye and entered the
brain causing almost instant death.
The deceased had been hauling gravel
during the day, and when unloading
the last load had set the seat on the
ground by the side of the wagon: after
supper while at the barn, helping with
the chores he decided to go to the house
for his mittens the night being very
dark and windy, he stumbled over the
wagon seat and fell on the brace, one
end of which was loose from the wagon
box and turned out. When found
shortly after he was quite dead the
body being upheld by the iron brace
which had entered the eye to a depth of
several inches. Dr.. Laundry of Wal
halla was called and telephoned the
coroner, DR.. Gibson of Langdon, who
did not consider it necessary to hold an
Inquest. The funeral will take place
Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock and
the remains will be laid to rest in the
church yard adjoining the Beaulieu
church. The deceased was a member
of Beaulieu camp No, BAIT M. W. A. for
many years and held a thousand dollar
policy in that order. He was highly
esteemed by all who knew him for his
many good qualities. He was about
forty.fve years Of age, a single man, in
comfortable circumstances being the
owner of a quarter section of land in
north Beaulieu. His only relatives in
this country are Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
Soeby.

Los ANGELES PRODUCE

Los ANGELES, Jan. 22.-Local ranch
candled eggs advanced on the Los An
seles produce market to sac a dozen.
This is the price wholesaler to retail
er. The wholesalers buy the eggs from
the ranchers at 4c a dozen below this
price, or soc a dozen. Dealers say that
the demand is increasing faster than
the supply. There was a weaker CON
dition in the butter market. but the
price was unchanged for California
creamery extras. Cheese and poultry
We're steady.
No fruit prices were changed Good
lemons We're exceptionally scarce. and
dealers who have any in stock are
holding them for higher prices. Seed
less and seeding grapefruit was strong.
The dried fruit market is steady, and
no material change in prices is look ed
for.
Vegetables were more plentiful.
Northern cabbage declined to S1.25 a
sack and $3.50 cwt. 1t will be no
ticed that although the sack price of
northern and local cabbage is the same.
there is nearly 81 difference in the cwt.
price. When cabbage is sold by the
sack. il IS SOLD Just as it comes from
the farmer When it is sold by the
hundredweight ii is picked over and
the poor cabbage thrown out. The To-
cal cabbage that is now coming to the
market is of poor quality and when
sold by the hundredweight a great
quantity has to be thrown out. while
with the northern cabbage there is lit

cabbage is 81 a cwt. cheaper.
