Chicago, June 17.-George J,
Kneeland did some very plan and
incorporated talking to delegates to
the General Federation OF Women's
cluus in convention here. and left
them wilted but enlightened.
Mr.. Kneeland Is director Of the
department of Investigation OF the
American Social Hygiene associa-
ton. His remarks were based on
statistics gathered by his Depart
ment on the reports Of investigators.
He found that q prolific source Of
supply to commercialized vice comes
from girls between the ages Of 15
and Is years. the dangerous age of
the development Of the racial in
stinct, and that startling minority
Of these comes from homes other
than those of poverty and ignorance.

30 many sardines. Some OF them
stood up for hours In the big tents.
This morning camp was broken at
dawn and the scouts hiked back TO
town, none the worse for the nights
happenings. Two lads, who took
their rest inside dog tent, slept
until this morning, when camp was
broken, without realizing that the
storm had come up and had driven
their campmates to many exped-
tents to keep away from the water.
scoutmaster Sterl, Ernest Ross
and Henry Giles returned to the
camp this morning to collect all OF
the supplies and send them back to
.own.
The scouts had their own Sunday
school yesterday. J. H. Engle, A. L.

MAY FIND BRoTHERs GRAVE
Fifty.four Years Ago Indians Killed
. HeringtOn Man

Harrington, June 16.-In August,
1860, Andrew Blanchett, a brother
of A. d. Blanchett of northwest OF
Herington, was driving an OK team
from Kansas City to Denver with a
freighting party. AS Dodge City was
neared, Blanchett pushed ahead OF
the main body. Hardly had he
pitched camp and turned his cattle
out to Craze when Indians swooped
down and surrounded him. In the
fight which ensued, Blanchett emp
ties both his six-shooters, killing six
Indians, and himself was found dead
pierced with a half-dozen arrows.
when the rest of the freighting
party came up.
Blanchett's body was placed in a
rough casket, formed by splicing a
gun box and a cracker box together.
A. d. Blanchett, when he learned OF
his brothers death, sought for the
freighter's grave, but never found
1t, though he searched for 1t many
times. This was 81 years ago.
Recently a news dispatch told how
a telephone lineman working near
Dodge City had come upon a grave
while putting in pole. The circum-
stance seemed to fit in with the
story Of the death and burial Of his
brother so we'll that Mr.. Blanchett
and his daughter, Mrs. Almah Smith,
have gone to Dodge City. The box
in which was the skeleton was un-
touched by the lineman and after
"a years in an unknown grave, with
no headstone to mark his heroic
death. The body of the plainsman
may be brought to Harrington, to
be placed in the family cemetery.
Andrew Blanchett formerly lived
near Herington and owned an 80
acre farm there.
