Morning In Camp

Smell of the woods in the morning /;
The sun shines gold through the
trees,
And the heavens are filled with
music
From the lips of the wild-eyed
breeze.
And who's for a plunge in the water
A swim in the laughing lake?
Be quick! There is breakfast to
follow .@.
And there still is the fire to make.
I'm in. What splash! Are you
ready?
Who, who would lie lazy asleep
When all the wide world is calling
With the lure of the lake blue and
deep?
So come, that's the stuff, all to-
gether, .,..
Swim, swim with a stroke true and
straight
To the boat and the first back. the
winner
Great ginger! But swimming is
great! ......
The first back, the first one to
breakfast!
Then the trail once again and the
fun
The day lies alMring before us.
And the morning is only begun

A Scout Paradise

know of a wonderful spot for a
camp on the edge of a simmer
ing shore,
And lake that's as blue as the
skies over you, and as sweet as
the wind at your door.
There the red-winged black bird
calls to his mates to battle in
the pickerel pond;
And the banks overflow with the
blessings that grow at the
touch of Fair Natures wand
There the soft breezes whisper the
secrets of rest while away on
the big lake we row;
And the swimming is fine in the
summer sunshine, and at even
ing the campfire's aglow.
There's a jolly old lodge with a
jolly old crane a-swing in the
old fireplace,
And jolly old chef with jolly old
smile on the front of his jolly
old face. ..
There we pitch our tents with a
speed that's immense and we
smooth out our bunk with de-
light;
In the blankets we crawl and some
where we fall, to the tune of
the sweet sounds of night.
Why not join in our song as we
ramble along, and gather your
troop on the way;
You will hit up Scouts pace when
you get near the place, and be
ready for work or for play.

at Jess lifted his eyebrows. How

turbed by the information. Curley
has been known to lose his bets.
Most of the new arrivals hurried
out to the training camps to have a
peek at the fighters. The old-time
glove swingers were particularly
anxious to get squint. AS rule,
old fighters are prone to stringing
with a champion in their predictions,
which are just about as valuable as
the prediction of what you might
call the laity. Just about.
Frank Moran, for instance, likes
Wizards chances. Frank could not
lick Jess himself, and got knocked
out by Fred Fulton, who was sub
sequently stopped in punch by
Dempsey, so what kind of reason
ing is that?
Condition of Fighters.
I think Willard is in as good con-
dition now as he will be on the day
of the fight | should say it is fair
condition for a l2-round bout. but
it would be poor condition for a
finish affair. | am not inclined to
attach as much importance as sor1e
to the matter of condition for such
a short bout, save in one detail, and
that has to do with Dempsey.
Despite the protestations of the
savants who surrounded him, I
think there is still danger of draw
ing him too fine. A chap his size

in the staid looking owner of the

greatest fighters who ever poked
a beezer through the ring ropes.

and Tommy held a regular levee.
Another ex-champion to arrive to-

Louie Salerno, Sam Salerno, Tony

1t has been the custom there to
rent bathing suits for Is cents. a

Louie ran out and told his three
pals the good news. They all ran
up and stole suit each, presented it
at the desk and received Is cents
each.
They made about four trips each
when they were discovered. Judge

had received for the suits and pro-
hibited them from enjoying the

of Labor.

Retail merchants, especially those
dealing in cottons and ready-to-
wear goods, are advised that a sharp
advance in prices is scheduled for
the near future. They are advised
that the indications are winter suits
for men will sell at from $50 to SIS
and that shoes will jump to SIS and
SIS pair.
The increased prices, according to
The eastern manufacturers, is due to
the fact that stocks of raw material
are running low and that labor
prices in the factories have gone
up 50 to 100 per cent.
The National Foreign Trades
council has advised the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce that the ad-
vance in prices has hit Europe and
that there is no reason why it should
not be felt in the United States
within a short time. In its letter,
the council asserts that throughout
France the textile plants in the war
area were damaged 50 per cent.
There were 2,22l of these plants,
prior to the war. The linen industry
was damaged more than any other:
1t is estimated that one-third of
the plants manufacturing linen
goods were totally destroyed, one
third taken to Germany and the
other third robbed of their brasses
by the Germans.
Prior to the war factory workers
in France were paid four francs a
day, while now the scale has risen
to 10 and II francs. In the coal
mines, where prior to the war the
wages were 4.6 to 6.3 francs a day,
they have gone to us and IS francs.
