A TRIP TO THE RENDEZVOUS OF
THE BOY SCOUTS.

Sunday afternoon the editor visited
the Boy Scouts of High Point and Amer
lea on Carraway mountain in Randolph
county, and after taking several circuit
Gus routes, several of which were wrong,
finally found our destination and a hap
py lot of red blood young Americans.
Some were taking their afternoon dip
in the pond, others fishing, throwing
horse shoes, cleaning up lounging
around or suiting their several inclina-
On the top of the mountain were some
dozen tents, a splendid scout wagon do
mated by A. T. Wishart, benches and
seats hewn from natures local workshop,
while 100 feet further down was the
kitche and commissary and the cook
busily engaged in making chicken dump
lings TO 90 with the several cooked
chickens for the evening meal. There
were a large number of visitors and the
boys were real glad to see the home
folks. The weather was pretty warm,
even on the mountain but at nights
blankets are comfortable the boys say.
Scout Master Mari has the boys un-
der good control and they are on their
honor TO be and act as real Boy Scouts

which they are very found of and many

Ice Cream Cone Push Carts
Dangerous.

Did you ever stop to think thet
the push carts selling ice-cream
cones are a menace to the public s
health, OF at least those who patro-
nize them?
Take aedry, dusty street, and all
streets are in this condition when
there isn't frequent rains, and when
the ice cream can is opened and
the cones and cream exposed danger
Gus dust naturally gets into the
cream and on the cones and this is
taken into the stomach, possibly
laden with disease germs. No matter
how careful the seller is such things
will happen.
The City Council should require
glass covered wagons and every
safeguard thrown around such
wagons or refuse to grant these dis
ease-breeding wagons license to do
business, Greensboro has refused to
grant the ice cream cone push carts
license for another year and High
Point would do well to take the
matter in hand. .,
The best thing is to refuse them
license. We are not careful enough
of our peoples health anyway.
The Review has repeatedly called
the City Councils attention to such
matters of health. We have tried
to get a monthly analysis of the
milk and butter supply just like all
other towns who care something for
the health of its citizens, towns
which place the public's health be-
yond dollars and cents.
1t looks like High Point is retro
grading in this all important step
and surely it is high time we were
doing something.

Terrific Electrical Storm
Causes Local Damage

Just before two o'clock Tuesday
morning the home of Chas. Ragan
on South Main street caught on fire,
presumably from a freak of light
ming striking an electric light wire.
The firemen responded promptly and
saved the house from destruction.
The loss is probably $1,000; the slate
roof and walls of the second story
suffering considerably from the fire.
No one occupied the house Monday
night, Mrs. Ragan being at the home
of her mOther-in-laW while Mr..
Ragan was out of town. The furni-
ture and interior of the house suffer
ed much from water, especially on
the second floor and tits makes the
loss so heavy. 1t caught during one
OF the worst storms ever experienced
here, which kept many High Pointers
from sleeping and the nervous ones
were terribly frightened.
The firemen did valiant work af-
ter arriving on the scene and per-
haps saved other nearby homes
from destruction.
Several severe shocks are report
ed over the city from the electrical
storm. At the home of DIR. j. j.
Hamlin the family received a Sc
we're shock from the electrical dis
play. The E. C. Henderson home
near the city was struck by light
ming one of the rooms and much
of the furniture badly damaged.
Fortunately no one was in the house
at the time. In the Southern part
of the city a lady and her child were
almost knocked cut of bed but with
out any serious results; an automo-
bilist reports having received a mild
jar from nearby bolt
The big tent on South Main street
school grounds was badly damaged
by the storm and the services are
being held in the auditorium. The
ministers are in a quandary as to
what to do about another tent when
Evangelist Black comes next week.
No doubt a way will be provided
for an open air meeting for the SER
vices as indoors is too hot a PROPOSE

Improvements at the Rose
Theatre

The painters and decorators have
been engaged in beautifying the
Rose theatre this week and will
finish their work in time to open the
theatre to the public Friday after
noon at 8 o'clock. Ventilating sue
ton fans have been put in over
head and ventilators going through
the top of the house. Sixteen wall
fans have also been added which
will make the Rose theatre one of
the coolest places to be found any
where and thoroughly sanitary.
This with the decorations and other
modern "ixings" makes the Rose
one of the very best moving picture
theatres in the state. The public is
invited to judge for itself.
A sanitary water fountain for the
patrons has ben installed.

SCOUTS OF HIGH POINT HAVING
THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES ON
THE BANKS OF UWHARRIE
(By PAUL A. STAMEY.)

The seven patrols of the Boy Scouts
of America from High Point are having
the time of their lives in annual Ell
campment near the well-known Hoover
Hill gold mine in Randolph county The
tents are pitched on Carraway meunta in
in plain view of Shepherd mountain, III
a thickly wooded location, with the
peaceful Uwharire river at the foot and
smaller streams here and there gliding
down the mountain sides; with cool
springs studding the hill like diamonds
from which to guench the thirst. Verify,
the Scouts are located in an isolated
place and it would take the keen in
sight of the Aborigine to trail them in
their lair if it were not for the country
roads that lead you in sight of the place.
AS it is the modern paleface does some
tall scouting to find the temporary quar-
ters-of the High Point "a ggregation and
many there be from the Furniture city
who have journeyed several leagues out
of the way in trying to locate us.
path than did the advance guard of the
Scouts who felled many trees in order
to make a possible road from the foot
of old Carraway, to it's crest to establish
a village of half a hundred souls over
night with nothing but white canvas for
temporary homes.
As has been stated there are seven
patrols here under the leadership of
Scout Master W. N. Mari; three pat
rolls in the first troup, Bob Whites,
Whippowills, Crows. Those constituting
the Bob Whites are: Howard Hicks, Ar

land, Dewey Hoffman, Lyman Redding,
Max Wall and Herbert Fields.
The Crows-George Wood, Willard
Thomas, Reid Marsh, Sam Moore,- Dew
ey Foust, Alex Rankin and Shelton
Woodson.
There are three patrols in the second
troup: Eagles, Stays and VOLTS.
The Eagles are represented by Sam
uel Davis, Charles Welborn, Wilbur
Jones, Earl Mcfarland, Dick Johnson,
Clarence Smith, James McAnally, Van
Sheets and Harold Gillian.
The Stags-Dewey Dodamead, Paul
Stamey, Royster Tucker, Robert Mar

Enormous Increase
In Copper Values

The FL Paso Morning Times
has the following to say in regard
to the copper mining industry In
Grant county N. M:
Never before in the history Of
the copper mining industry has
there been such a demand for ore
whichhas advanced from lie per
pound to 2S1 cents and is still
climbing higher. The output of
Grant county N. M. where the
Forest Queen Copper 90. mines
are located five years ago was
about 100000. Last year 1915
the value of the output was over
twenty million dollars and the
present year it is estimated that
the output will be more than
doubled. One copper company
"Ohino" Is producing fifteen
millions annually. This mine
handles over 5000 tons of ore
daily. The Phelps Doge mine
5000 tons daily producing in ex-
cess of five million dollars year
ly. The Empire Zinc Company
has two large mills one at HAn-
over handling $50 tons daily and
worth $4,000 and a 300 ton Mill
in the Cleveland groupe of mines
producing in excess of $1,000
daily or about two million annual
ly. This mine joins the Red
Gross mine owned by the Forest
Queen Copper Co. and has the
same veins of ore. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY predicted that within two
years time the Red Cross will be
in the same class as the property
mentioned above. This property
bids fair to be one of the best in
Grant county.

The wedding was so quietly

The bride was never more be-

Another Good Reason Why
Bond Issue Should Garry

The city has received assur-
auces from the railroad company
that a rate of 30 cents will apply
on rock from HOpkinsville, to be
used in building good streets, if
such rock IS ordered by, and paid
for by the citv, out of the gener.
al funds, for the benefit of all the
citizsns thereof, but they have
ruled that they could not give
this rate, if any part of the cost
is against the property owners.
Vote for the bord issue and
help the city get the advantage
of this rate.
Every block constructed with
this rate in effect will save the
city SIS 90 to $1,000.
