PREPARING FOR
The BOYS CAMP
Y. M. c. A. is PREPARING FOR THE
ANNUAL CAMP AT LAKE COR
MIGRANT AND MANY BOYS ARE
EXPECTING TO MAKE THE TRIP
. IN NEAR FUTURE.

The boys vacation is a serious
problem. It is true that he ought not
to be idle the whole summer but he
also ought to have at least two weeks
to have fun and to cut loose after the
long time in school. Where can he
go without his parents and not only
have a good time but be benefited by
the outing and return home stronger
physically, mentally and morally?
Boys do not care for the ordinary
summer resort, but wish a complete
change from their ordinary life. They
still have the desire to get from under
the roof of a house and live in a
tent. AS the summer comes on the
call of the wild" comes to every real
boy. s -
Camp Cormorant which is conduct
ed by the Y. NC. A. is equipped I'd
meet the boys needs Of the outdoor
life and the site was selected for boys
and the ann is conducted solely for
boys. The camp is located on the
banks of Lake Cormorant which is
part of the Y. M. G. A. farm. 1t is a
most beautiful place with the trees on
the hillside and the gradual slope to
the beach, where there is plenty of
sand and a swimming hole large
enough for all. A new athletic field is
being worked so that there is a place
for games and athletics, a swimming
raft will be built for the boys; there
is a sail boat there now that has a
history with every boy who has been
to camp, and water sports will be
p~lenteous.
There will be other improvements
put on the camp, and these are under
consideration by the camp committee.
There are a large number of boys
who are planning to go and the camp
is sure to be a sweet remembrance in
the minds Of many fellows.
The boys are urged to begin to make
definite plans for the camp at once as
there is but a short time until the
starting. day, June 16.

THE NEW FIRE ALARM SYSTEM

The New Gamewell Fire Alarm Sys-
TEN installed in Greenwood was in
spected by the Mayor and City Council
Monday evening at 3 p. m. Chief
johnson pulled boxes rs and 35 and also
sent in an alarm from the transmitter
every signal being recorded perfectly
at the No. | and No. fire stations and
also at the power house.
The alarm system consists of 10 fire
alarm stations, combination l5-inch
gong and indicator at each fire station
and one at the electric light statlon--a
two circuit switchboard and storage
batteries and telephone alarm trans
mitter which contains signal wheels are
used when a fire alarm is received. The
system was installed by the Gamewell
Fire Alarm Co. of Cincinnati and New
York, and is of the up-to-date type,
used in larger cities Of the u. S.
The City Of Greenwood and its tax
payers reap great benefit from this
installation inasmuch as the insurance
rates are reduced from 10 TO 20 per
cent. on all premiums in addition to the
great protection every property owner
and tenant enjoys, it is always safer
and quicker to turn in an alarm from a
fire box than it is to use the telephone,
the alarm system acts direct while the
telephone may be misunderstood or in
trouble and thus delay may occur
which may be the means of great loss
of life and property. Every property
owner and tenant should Immediately
acquaint themselves with the location of
the nearest fire alarm box to their
home and place of business. To send
an alarm Of fire it is only necessary to
break the glass, unlock the door with
key which is always in the door, then
pull the hook dJwn-wait at the bCx
for the arrival of the fire department.
Cards have been printed giving these
locations and the special signals, and
can be had by applying at No. / fire
station.
Don't hesitate to call the fire depart
ment no matter how small the fire may
be, there is no charge and the depart
ment would rather respond and make
sure that the fire is out, than to have
any doubts about it and later have tc
respond to fire which could have beer
suDdued in its infancy.
Many times ithas occurred that smaI
fires grew to big ones in few minutes
and the entire property was lost be
cause the department was not called ir
time.
The Mayor and Council express them
selves as highly pleased with the new
service and it is now in service.

BEEF RAISING POSSIBILITIES OF
THE SOUTH DEMONSTRATED.

Washington, D. t., Dec. H. The
winning of the grand championship for
Hereford bulls at the International Live
Stock Exposition at Chicago by Mis-
sissippi animal shows the great posi-
blities of the South for the beef pro-
duction. The Winner is Point Comfort
18th, from Jackson, Miss. The Here
; ford is one of the principal beef breeds
of cattle, and the championship was
won in competition with large num-
Der of the finest specimens OF the breed
in the United States and Canada.
Y Point Comfort 14th was bred and
raised in the tick region, and until last
spring was on farm within the quar-.
antine for cattle ticks. Before the ticks
were eradicated the owner lost some
fine animals from Texas fever, hut as a
result Of cooperative work with the
Government and State authorities his
farm and cattle are now free of the
tick pest. The owner sold at the Show
yearling for $575 and a calf for $44O
for shipment to Montana and New
Mexico. His success at Chicago shows
what can be done with fine cattle IN
the South, and should give an impetus
to the work of 'exterminating the ticks
Tnis section is naturally well adapted
to cattle raisin :, and with the eradica
ton of the ticks and the introduction O
better stock it may be expected to con
tribute largely to the countrys bee
supply.
