"The Misleading Lady." :"

By far one of the most important an. nouncements made by Manager Hewitt is that of the engagement of the Pitts field Players for two performances, matinee and evening of next Tuesda,. September 7th. The Pittsfield Players have been giving some very fine per- formauces in Pittsfeld this season and Robert Graves, Jr., is bringing the en- tire organization. "The Misleading Lady" was one of the pronounced sue. cesses of the past season in New York and has neveri been seen in Great Bar rington. The Pittsfeld Players are fortunate in having the original pro- ducer of this play, Walter Scott to put it on, and also ill having Robert Graves, Jr., who appeared in the original pro- duction in New York city.
 The Pittsfield Players are bringing over their entire stage production, scenery and light effects.

BOY SCOUTS IN CAMP
RoIIickIng Good Time for Week at
 Lake Buell..

The Boy Scouts of Canaan had been anticipating the pleasure of camping at some body of water, for several months; so, all arrangements having been made previously, they left for their much expected pleasure last Tues day, August 24. The party consisted of Scoutmaster Roy Laffargue and his brother George, who accompanied the expedition for the first two days, and Scouts Malcolm Adam, Maitland Adam, Willard Peirce, Kenneth Miller, Roy Beaujon, Clarence Adams, Eric Borg, Algatt Lindell, Gordon Mansir, Hugh Corcoran, William Perotti and Leroy Stanton.
 They were all ready to start for Lake Buell., Mir. Gibson's Grove, at 7:3O in the morning. The weather was little threatening at the start, but it cleared away and was fine day.
 Some of the boys of the Wolf Patrol had made d two-wheeled cart, previous to the trip, and it was called "trek" wagon. This was dra VII all the way to the lake by the boys themselves by means of ropes and slaves. The trek carried nearly all of the camp equip ment and supplies. The trek required two boys to balance it while the other boys did the pulling, and it was sur prising how easily it rolled along with the load which it was carrying.
 Several of the parents of the boys were rather worried that their boys were to walk twelve miles and have to pull that heavy load. But with camping enthusiasm and high spirits, together with several stops on the road for rest and water, the boys made ex- cellent time reaching Lake Buell. at I2 o'clock.
 After reaching the lake, they ate the lunches, which their mothers had put up for them to eat on the way. The trek was unloaded, ard then they were ready to set up the tent and make camp. Now here was where the trouble began. When the tent was unfolded, the various parts did not seem to 'jibe." " After several attempts to solve the prob lem, they came to the conclusion that they had the parts of two or three tents. There was the 'fiy" of one, the ''sides" of another, and the poles of still another Much time was lost deciding what to do. It was necessary to have a shelter of some kind. So

The women OF the United Charities

services for the benefit OF the needy

Township Officers Meet with the
Commissioner to Consider
Budget Making for the
Coming Year
MUCH LARGER
LEVY IS FAVORED
Last Years Amount Likely to B,
Doubled by the County and
Townships will Also
Increase

Better roads for the Grady county
farmer" was almost the sole topic for
discussion at the meeting of the town
ship boards of the county with the
county commissioners today The
boards, clerk, treasurer and trustee
from each of the twenty-one divisions
in the county. were beginning their
work of budget making. The county
commissioners will probably continue
in session all week.
A much larger fund for the keeping
up of roads and bridges will be pro-
vided for the present fiscal year, July
], 1915, to July /. 1916, than was pro
vided last year unless the excise board
takes radically different view of the
road question than do the township
boards of the county and the three
commissioners. The county fund last
year was s2O,96s. 1t viii probably be
at least twice as much next Year.
The farmers assembled from every
section of Grady county, declared
roads and bridges everywhere were in
a fightful condition, and that the loss
from hauling products over bad roaos
was luxury that Grady county farm
ers could not afford 1t was up to
them" to do the more economical thing
and build better highways.
Besides this, each individual town
ship will increase its road budget, the
members declared. The new law which
went into effect June 20 allows levy
of a quarter of mill for dragging rre
roads alone. Most of them will take
advantage of this.

he realized that one gets only shor'
way toward the top in these days. il
he is without an education, so he spent
his savings going to school, attending
a state normal until he had fitted him
self for the teaching profession. He
taught five terms in and near his home
town, Rush Springs.
Here again he felt himself getting
into a rut, and he left teaching for
banking, being given the place OF as
sistant cashier in the First National
bank at Rush Springs. Here he stayed
until w. T. Cloud decided he was the
right man to take into the county
treasury department four years and a
half ago.
Mr. Mullican does not say what his
ambitions are after he has finished his
work as county treasurer He intr
mates. however, that his ambitions are
yet far from accomplished and mat
he is still working up"
There will be no change in the Of

for two terms treasurer, has bee nre-
tanned as chief deputy. and Miss Helen
Luster and L. A. Sanders are to re-
main as assistants.
Concerning the policies of the office,
Mr.. Mullican declares that after being
on the force for four and half years
he can see few changes to be made.

he said. "and that is to be paid alike

by slashing his wrist with a pencil.
His condition, however, is not consid-
