be either short pieces of tree branch
es, with a fork left on one end large
enough to hook over the lug-pole, and
one or two nails driven in near the
other end upon which to hang uten-
sils; ~ they can be made out Of
wire Gig. p. By making wire pot
hooks in short lengths, it is possible
to hang your utensils at any height
above the fire that you wish, and you
can hang cooked food at the right
height to keep it warm, without burn
ing it.
The camp crane shown in Fig.
furnishes another simple method of
suspending food over a fire. Often
times a small sapling will be in
such a position that it can be bent
over for such crane. The end of
the pole can be notched to catch the
pail or kettle handle, or small wire
hook can be fastened to it,
The freIess cooker is becoming
more and more popular in camps, be-
cause it makes it possible to cook the
supper meal in it during the days,
without requiring any one member OF
the camping party to remain behind
to keep up fire.
Here is a good method of preparing
a camp cooker. Dig hole in a high
and dry part Of your camp ground,
about 2 feet square and 2 feet deep,
and line the bottom and sides with
stones Then batten several boards
together to form 2 cover that will
slip part way down into the hole

pieces Of wire to It for handles Zig.

Your pot OF beans, kettle Of pota-
toes, oatmeal, mush, or whatever you
intend to cook in the cooker, must be
started upon your camp fire. While
e IS cooking, build a good wood fire
in your cooker pit. and allow it to
burn down into hot embers. Then
quickly transfer your cooking uten-
sil, when ready, into the cooker, rak-
ing a hole in the embers for it to set
IN, and fill in around and over the
utensil with Goals from your large
fire The wooden cover should be fit
ted down over the top, and the
space between this and the ground
level should be filed with earth TO

OLD EXPLORER TOLD TRUTH
Story About Flow of the Nile River
Very Appropriate, Used to Point
Moral.

Some twenty-five centuries ago,
Herodotus, the father of history, heard
of the Niger river, in western Soudan,
and that it flowed into the Nile
When the Niger was actually found
by white men, 100 years ago. it did
not go anywhere near the Nile, but
doubled back on itself to flow into the
Gulf of Guinea And the critics had
much sport telling how creduIous old
Herodotus was
Now a French expedition comes
back from the Soudan, and declares
that very probably, in the time OF
Herodotus, the Niger did just what
he said it did-howed into the Nile.
They have found driedup water
course leading east, and they are
sure that the present channel OF the
Niger is comparatively new
Which illustrates once more the
truth that men seldom invent any
story. They may garble it, twist it.
distort it, exaggerate part of it and
suppress other parts, get it out OF
focus till it bears no resemblance to
the fact from which it started
But almost always it starts from a
fact, or from something believed to
be a fact.
Few men can tell the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth
without being carefully trained to do
so.
Fewer still can tell a lie and stick
to it without letting some tiny bit of
truth slip in. The existence Of the
legend which Herodotus wrote down is
proof that somebody believed I'm it.
From the recent explorations, that
somebody may not have been so far
wrong.

MORE ARGUMENT IN
extern CASE ASKED.
REHEARING IN CONTROVERSY is
ORDERED BY THE STATE
SUPREME COURT.
REHEARING SET FOR MAY IS
NOW Believed That Final Decision VIII
Be Handed Down About June list,
Settling Title to Office and Other
Points in Controversy.

Madlson.-A decision in the MCCOY
ern-Ekern controversy may not be
handed down by the state Supreme
court before the last of May or the first
OF June. The court has issued an or
der for the reargument of the follow
ing questions:
Question l. Section $40 Of the stat
utes which says that due process of
the law as guaranteed by the constit-
ution, be pursued in removing an offic-
er.
Question 2. Does due process of the
law in such a case entitle the officer
attempted to be removed to a reason
able notice of the hearing and of the
particular charge, a reasonable oppor-
tun1ty to be heard in person and by
counsel, to know the adverse evidence
to be considered, a right to cross-ex-
anime the opposing witnesses and pre-
sent all material evidence in his own
behalf?
Question 8. If an order tor the re-
moval of an officer charged in such a
proceeding without according these
privileges to him is it valid?
Question A. Is it jurisdictional re-
quirement of an order under the re-
moval statute that it be based on evil
dence, taken according to the essen
tials of due process of law, which in
some reasonable view sustain the
charges against the person accused
which will warrant his removal and il
so was such a case made as to Mr..
Ekern?
Argument on these questions will be
heard on May Is.
The general feeling among attorneys
who have read the questions is that
they mean the court will decide ali the
questions involved in the case, includ-
ing the title to the office instead Of
combining itself to the mere injunction
suit. This is what Mr. Ekerns at
torneys asked in the former argu-
ments.
The call for new arguments was hail
ed with rejoicing in the Ekern camp.
1t was accepted there that the ques-
tons indicated that the question of
title to the office of insurance commits
sioner was to be tried along with the
other question
The governors friends were not so
jubilant, but expressed themselves as
satisfied if the validity of Gov. Nc
Governs action was to be taken up
now when the whole question would
be settled.

WHEN YOU GO CAMPING.

The handy boy seldom remains a
tenderfoot long upon his first camp
ing trip, because having learned re-
sourcefulness he is quick to adapt
himself to his new surroundings, and
is generally able 70 find his way out
of difficulties and to make a pretty
good guess as to how things in gen
eral should be done For this rea-
son, things usually go along more
smoothly for the handy Scy than for
the boy who never had to make him
self useful at home, and has been al
lowed to shirk responsibilities.
Camping is a splendid experience
for all boys, and the less equipment
they can get along with the more
practical good they will gain from the
trip. With careful planning, the
amount of equipment can always be
cut down to a minimum. Even If the
ramp is to be in the back yard, or a
Nearby lot, the rule to go light
yhould be observed.
The handy boy will think of lots OF
Kings to make while in camp, and he
should not fail to take along an
axe, hammer, saw. iack-knife, ma Is of
several sizes-including a suppl of
spikes-tacks, screw-hool1s, screw
eyes, staples, wire, cord and rope,
for tools and working materials. Nails,
hooks and staples may be carried in
tin cans, but they will pack with less
waste space in small bags made OF
canvas, denim or burlap. These bags
should be provided with draw
strings.
Unless a small sheet-iron camp
stove is taken along, you must build
an open fireplace. Fig. 1 shows the
backswoodsman's scheme. Two logs
are placed upon the ground side by
side, with one pair of ends close to-
gether and the other ends about one
foot apart, to form the sides of the
fireplace. BY slanting the logs in
this fashion, small utensils can be set
across the logs at the narrow end of
the fireplace, and larger ones at the
wide end. For suspending pals and
other utensils over the fire, hori-
zontal pole, known as the Iug-pole,
should extend over the fireplace from
one end to the other, upon which to
hang pothooks The Illustration shows
how one end of the lug-pole may be
spiked to a tree and the other end
supported in the crotch of pole driv
en- into the ground. The pothooks may

possible.
A little creek is often in the vicin
ity of a camp site, and handy cross
ing is not always found If this creek
is not very wide, it Isl simple mat
ter to throw two logs across it at the
desired point of crossing. Boys do
not require railing on such bridge.
of course, but If girl visitors are ex-
pected it is a good plan to provide a
railing such as is shown in Fig. Z
The end railing uprights should be
driven into the ground, and these and
pair of stakes driven into the
ground on the other side of the log
ends should be spiked to the logs to
keep them from rolling.
If your camp is located near lake,
| you will probably want a pier, and
short one can be built on the plan OF
| the creek bridge. OF course, the out
er ends of the logs must be supported
upon a couple of stout stakes driven
foot or more into the lake bottom
and connected at the top with a
crossplece.
Use the water for your refrigerator.
Drive few nails into the side of
the pier or creek bridge, and to each
Of these nails fasten piece Of stout
cord with a snap-hook Gig 81 tied
