Camp Mary Elizabeth,


party left Mansfield on a fishing
expedition un the Gasconade.
Having read somewhere, some
time or other, perhaps in Mark
Twain's famous book, Rough
ing It," that outdoor life. plain
food, plenty of exercise, and all
that sort of stuff, was good for
the young as well SIS the old, the
members of the party decided to
go in a humpity bump wagon,
provided by r. j. Freeman, take
as few of the home comforts as
possible, and stay as long as en-
durance would permit, no date
being set for the return trip,
However, before leaving Mans
field the con missary Wagon was
heavily laden with tents, cots,
camp stoves, dishes, beds, ham
mocks, soda pop, groceries. can
ned goods, and dainties too nu-
merous tomention, each member
of the party bringing something
else to the wagon, making the
excuse that it was for Mary
Elizabeth" the little girl for
whom the camp was named.
When the party arrived in Hart
vile they thought of many COM
forts for Mary" that had been
overlooked, even to cigars. Dr..
B. E. Latimer, as the party drove
away from Hartville, winked
the other eye as.he pointed to the
sky. Right well that weather
prophet knew what was in store
for these amateurs, but he did
not tell.
Most of the heavy work at the
camp, near Names, was done by
Mike O'Neill until the second day
when the hookworm overlook
him. Jud Deets then saw the
predicament in which the camp
had been placed, and he pro-
ceeded to take charge of the
camp cooking and other camp
duties, appointing r. j. Freeman
water carrier, which position he
held until his wise brain told him
to join the Hookworm Club, and
about meal time he was found
snoring, for which, by the way,
by the way, he received a hand
some medal" Before many days
had been spent in camp, DR.. F.
Fl. Riley was made famous by
virtue of his wonderful camp
stove, of which he boasted on
every occasion, especially as A.
Reuben was making some of his
famous potato cakes, which even
the little dog accompanying the
party would eat.
The fish caught upon this oc.
casion should not prove a source
of worry or alarm to the game
wardens or to the Isaac Waltons
who contemplate a fishing trip to
the Gasconade in the near fu-
ture. Mr.. Deets and little Mary
who must have seen Dr.. Latin
er's wink, left for Names and
from there for Mansfield, cross
ing the Names bridge just a few
hours before the approach was
washed away, for soon the clouds
gathered and the rain descended,
raising the river 10 feet the first
night after it began to rain, and
wise were the remainder of the
party, breaking camp and leav
ing the grounds, for a few hours
afterward the camping grounds
were flooded by several feet of
water. The cause of the flood
was laid on Mr.. Reuben, who
raised his % rifle to the skies and
fired, saying Here's to Ger.
many" They must have receiv-
ed his address, for the deluge
came, and this was the end of

DUDTCH THRIFT
NOT AFFECTED BY
THE WAR
(By Associated Press.

Amsterdam, Netherlands, Nov. 4
Thrift, which is REGARDED as one of
the chief virtues of the Dutch peo-
pie has not been affected by the
war. Savings banks returns show
that of the near 100000 inhabi-
tants--including men, women and
children-of the LOwlands no few
er than l,671,1a0 are depositors in
the Tostoflice savings bank and about
100000 others in the agricultural
loan banks and private savings
banks; making altogether nearly q
100000 depositors, or over one in
three of The entire population.
The war raging all around does
not appear to have dimini ished the
saving power of the people to any
appreciable extent, If at all, for at
the end of July this year thetotal
of the DEPOSITS in the postoffice saw
ings bank has been reduced by only
$2,217,SG3 as compared with the
same date in 1914 namely, $71.-
347,9S0 as AGAINST $73,655,S43. 1t
Is thought that most of the reduction
was brought about by depositors
withdrawing their savings for in
vestment in the new government
loans, which return a higher rate of
interest.

NO DECISION ON DAVIS LAW
EXPECTED THIS WEEK

jacksonville, Nov. i-Although It
was confidently expected all over the
state that an opinion on what Is
known as the Adolph Pricha case.
Instituted to test the constitution
atty of two sections OF the so-called
Davis package law, would be handed
down by the Supreme Court yester-
day, no announcement as to any de-
cision was made by that tribunal at
Tallahassee.
Rumors TO the effect that the Su-
preme Court had decided the two
sections attacked to be invalid were
freely circulated in Jacksonville dur
ing the day, but these were all un-
warranted. BY long distance com
munication with officials of the Su-
preme Court The Florida Metropolis
sought to ascertain. if possible, when
an opinion might be expected. II was
stated that no idea as to when the
case would be decided can be given.
II is the practice of the Supreme
Court, when in session, to announce
opinions on Tuesdays OF each week.
and the probabilities are now that no
decision on the Pricha case will be
announced before next Monday. It
is said that one of the justices of
the court has been i'll during the past
week, and that this fact is respon-
sible for a delay in the expected
opinion.
The liquor dealers of the State are
testing the first section of the Davis
law, which provides that alco-
holic beverages cannot be sold in less
than half pint securely sealed recep-
tacles. The seventh section OF the
measure. which provides that no
liquor can be consumed in the build
ing in which IL Is sold, Is also tested.
These are two of the most vital sec
tions Of the case.

(By Associated Press.)

Melbourne, Australia, Nov. 4-
when delegation representing the
Trades Hall Council of Melbourne
waited upon Premier Fisher a week
ago and asked him for pronounce
ment as to the attitude of the GOV
ernment toward conscription, Mr..
Fisher declared that conscription
would not be introduced in Austral-
ia unless the people of the Common
wealth were given an opportunity of
voting upon the question He added
that the government had no inten-
tion of bringing in bill dealing
with conscription. and as for him
self he was opposed to it.
Throughout the hearing Mr.. Fish
er showed great impatience over the
whole subject of conscription. He
said:
$50 far as the government is con-
cerned 1t stands exactly as it has
always stood, 1t is pledged under
the Defense Act to raise our own
men by levies for the defense of the
dominion"
When number of the delegation
suggested that the allies Of Great
britain might be pressing her to put
a conscript army into the field, he
replied with some heat. "They would
not be allowed any such impertin-
ence.''
