MILLION SHARES

Wild Speculation in War Stocks
Money for Collateral

Through last week the speculative
movement on the Stock Exchange
reached even greater proportions, bust
ness amounting to over million
shares for four successive days Inc

part in the trading, though PROBES

Public Imagination was stirred and
anv unsuhstantiated rumor OF a war

expected after the first shock OF war
has been overcome, IS apparently cen

United States, where we are selling
the goods required, and as yet are not
suffering from the imitation mat &C
companies these abnormal eApenGl-

War Orders Stupendous.
True though it Is that, as reflected
in wild fluctuations on the Stock EN-
change, the extent of this export busl-

So. though II is judicious to depIore
the reckless speculation in armament

that business is being wonderfully
stimulated here and that before long
the benefit must spread throughout the
nations industry.
Liquidation from Abroad.
throughout the week, as stocks
owned abroad gradually rose, liquida-
ton for European account here was
heavy. In addition, there was much
selling by domestic holders who had
held their securities during the pre-
cedine period Of depression, and con-
siderable profit taking by traders and
commission house customers. For the
general market this continual realizing
of profits serves TO put the advance on
a much healthier basis and to lessen
the I'M effects Of possible sharp break,
such as is expected by so many.

ket there could be no doubt. The

Life in Tents.

in August.
BOYS WAITING FOR A CHANCE
Deserving Riddles Hoping They
VIII Have Round of Fun.
Summer Camp VIII Be Under
Strict Supervision.

Camp life at the big Brother"
camp, near Maple Hill the latter part
of August. should be one big round
of fun, judging from the manner in
which Joe GlabaSina, youngster,
who attended camp, last year. de-
scribeS his experiences.
His story is as follows: After a
walk from Maple Hill to Buffalo
we were ready for dinner. Later we
picked out our tents, filled our ticks
with straw. put things in order and
elected captains. We then went
a quarter of mile from camp. Sup
per was ready at o'clock and we
were sure hungry. Afterwards we
played games until o'clock whom We
went to bed.
We got up at o'clock Tuesday
| morning, made our beds, went down TO
the creek and washed and got ready
for breakfast. From to 8 o'clock
each morning was work hour and then
came swimming and other sports
From 1 until in the afternoon was
rest or recreation hour. After that
we worked until 4:30 for our camp
money, which was made of pasteboard
of different colors. We paid 10 cents
for each meal. We also could buy
candy with our camp money. A boy
who saved So in camp money during
those ten days was given 20 cents in
real money.
At 4:3O o'clock we went in swim
ming again and stayed in until supper
time.
After supper we played indoor
baseball until dark, and then we start
ed the camp fire and told stories I'M
til bed time. Friday evening we went
on a seven-mile hike to PaXico and
slept on a strawstack that night
Sunday we had Bible study for an
hour or so. We had a big chicken
dinner and ice cream. In the after
noon some friends from Topeka came
to see us. 1t rained that afternoon,
but we had a good time anyway.
Monday afternoon was the time set
| for the track meet. Some kind far
mer from Maple Hill gave us a lot of
| honey-all we could eat and then
| some.
Tuesday evening was stunt night
and the tent that did the best stunts
| got a watermelon. We invited some
and they brought US ten gallons Of
| ice cream.
About midnight the tent leaders
burned some sulphur in the tents and
everybody was coughing, choking and
running outside to get some fresh air.
| The leaders said they were after
| bugs" but we were the only bugs
they were after. After we had quiet
ed down the leaders let down the tents
on us. Wednesday we packed up every
thing and got ready to start home.
We certainly had the time of our
lives and everyone went home feeling
happy and hoping he could go camp
ing again next summer.
