PLAN HOME GUARD
CAMP NEXT YEAR

Canton. IS. d., Sept. 20.-At an en-
, campment OF the home guards of the
southeastern section of South Dakota,
which will be held in Canton, Satur-
day of this week, Messrs. Dowdell
and Willard. managers of Ruskin park

Che home guards of the Canton dis
trlct to join in state encampment
of home guards, which will be held at
Camp Dowdel. Ruskin park. next
summer. Similar invitations will be
extended to other district home guard
organizations.
At the close of the first annual
state encampment of home guards
held at Ruskin park last June the
camp was christened Camp Dowell. in
honor of Robert Emmett Dowdell, and
by unanimous vote the 400 home
guards present decided to make Camp
Dowdell permanent and hold annual
encampments there in future.
The state play ground, by reason of
ment pavilion, hotel and restaurant,
ball park, race track, auto speedway,
amphitheater and many barns and
other roofs under which TO shelter
men and autos, is said by those who
have Inspected it to be an ideal place
for military and other gatherings.
AS a place for military drill the
James river bottom land in the state
play ground. with it's heavy blue grass
sod makes it perfect. For target
practice its high bluffs afford the
background. AS a place of retreat
and rest, provided as it is with many
flowing wells of 90 foot depth, its
swimming and fishing facilities and
ITS 900 acres of native ash, elm and
blackberry timber, the state play
ground makes an ideal place for the
annual gatherings Of the home guards
and military training. The soldiers
overseas, when they return, will also
be given the use of the park for an
nual gatherings free of charge. The
James river flows for a distance of
three miles through the park.

tian Brinton says: Other artists had
been upon the scene before, yet
none had treated the theme with
the requisite combination OF observa-
ton and imaginative insight, There Is
NO gainsaying the difficulty OF such a
taste, The temptation 10 be too topo-
graphical. too pedantically accurate, on
the one side, CT of abandoning oneself
to mere pictorial impression ON the
other is manifest. Lac chose q middle
course. Anyone may readily recog-
nise the particular sights and scenes
which these eanvases depict. and few
can escape the thrill, the underlying
personal fervor which aninlates the
work as a whole" q

subject in Palms In the Wind" Cos

And surely enough, when It was

That's what we'n do" agreed Billie.
And when he hears II ticking and

So the squirrel boys took some
string, a pin or two and a little nail

Then Johnnie and Billie took the
other long end of the string far out In
the bushes and hid. when they pulled
the string the dangling nail went tic

"Ha! More Halloween tricks. l must
go out and see what it is!"
Out rushed Uncle Wiggily, just as the

boon had sthought he would, and both
the unpleasant chaps were hiding and
waiting for him.
There he isl cried the. baboon.

Both of them rushed to grab Uncle
Wiggily from off the front stoop of his
hollow stump bungalow. where he had
come out to see the Halloween trick.
But first the bsboon tripped and fell
over the string OF the tic-tac, and then
the Pipslsewah fell They both tim

the grass and weeds and leaves and the
Pipsisewah howled:

And neither they could, for he ran in
the house and shut the door when he
heard them fall. And johnnie and Bill
lie ran away too. so the Pipsisewah and
the Baboon didn't get anyone. But
there was lots of Halloween fun, and
