RESTORE CASINO AT osTEND
Famous Pleasure Resort, Devastated
by Huns, Is Being Rapidly Put
in Good Condition.

After nearly five years of war Ostend
is resuming ordinary life, as far as pos

the reopening of the famous casino.
says the Pail Mall Gazette.
Less than twelve weeks ago, says a
Reuter- telegram. the great salons OF
the casino were q scene OF devastation
and wantOH destruction. Although oc-
cupying so prominent a position on
the sea front, the buildings themselves
escaped the constant bOmbardment
from sea and ar t!:at has transformed
so many of the beautiful hotels and
villas along the Digue into heaps OF
rubble, and the use of nine tons OF
glass has repaired all the damage thus
occasioned. but the Germans showed
their usual thoroughness in cutting and
defiling the salons themselves.
Every stick OF furniture was taken
away, beautiful tapestries were slashed
and torn by German bayOnets and
every mirror in the halls was removed,
together with the copper candelabra
in the salons and the beautiful copper
staircase.

Preposterous Free-Trade Dreams

Preposterous Free Trade Dreams
Across the ocean the American
producer will meet competitors arm
ed with the deadly weapon of a
cheapness in production attained by
the sacrifice of human values The
wage scale of Europe is little more
than half that prevailing in the
United States; the wage scale of
Asia is from one-ffth to one-tenth
that prevailing in this country. The
pretense that this country, except in
very few specialized lines, is going
to undersen such producers on their
own ground, after paying cross-ocean
transportation charges, when normal
business conditions have been re-
stored, is preposterous. That we
can meet that sort of competition in
manufactured products even in our
markets is a theory which has no
basis either in reason or experience
What we can do, and what it is ex-
pected we will do, is to drain this
country of foodstuffs and raw mater
iaIs only in order that we may re-
ciprocally yield up our own markets
for manufactured commodities. That
has been the dream of the bourbon
free trader for generations; to make
this country an agricultural depend
ency of Europe. 1t is now not only
the dream but the expectation of
powerful interests which are perfect
ly satisfied to sacrifice the productive
interests of the United States in or
der that they may be enriched by
processes of international trade and
finance Washington Cd. CO Ma
tional Republican, 1868.

A man sentenced to Sing Sing prIs-

ed his sentence more than seven
months, and refuses re go home. He
is working with a construction gang
building the new prison, and the war
den says he does as much work as any
four men. The pay allowed prisoners
by the state amounts to IL cents a

when he was told that the prison au-

to make him apply for parole, which
he has so far steadfastly refused to do.

YelIowstone Park Grows.

Yellowstone national park is ex-
pected to grow 1,265 square miles
larger as soon as the present congress
reaches a bill neglected by the last
session. The proposed extension, 80
miles to the south OF the established
boundary, as described In Popular
Mechanics magazine. takes in Jackson
lake and the wonderful mountain
scenery about it, part of the famous
Jackson's Hole country.
Besides providing the only variety
of scenic beauty now lacking in the

mer grazing ground Of Americas last

A time there was upon the earth
When speech was of one mold,
When talking wrought what man had
thought
Into a sentence bold.
The people then a tower reared,
Ostensible and high,
Preserving fame that else they feared
Unheralded might die.
The Lord beholding ali the boast
And show of puny men,
Straightway did come among the host;
Confusion fell on them.
To one the others speech became
A battling mystery,
From thence sounds Babylonish came;
$50 readeth history.)
And so it was while Father time
Long centuries did unwind;
No verbal mine in any cline
Humanity did find.
The Goddess-Speecht then counsel took
That she might make or mend
/ A language meet for book or street,
Ard to the cause did send
Her spritish troops to gather up,
| In countries far and near,
/ All speech, in fact, all dialect
That they might read or hear.
The elfn sprites for days and nights
/ Their varied ways did take,
Traversing watery elements
! Or searching plain and brake.
A Grecian scrap, Latin trap,
Arabic~tongue and Celt,
Teutonic, Saxon, Normandy,
With all of these they dealt.
And many more were there in store
And many suns did burn,
Ere all the sprites performed theil
rites
And homeward did return.
Then with her troop the Goddess sped
Unto an ocean isle,
And bidding all did cause to fall
The treasures in a pile
The Goddess cast into an urn
Small bits of every tongue,
And made the stew boil and brew
Then into it she flung
A priceless gem of rarest speech,
And as the caldron boiled,
From-out the steam there sprang &
stream
Unsullied and unsoiled.

Boy Scouts Coming to Life


The Boy Scout organization of
Hays is coming into its own after a
quiscent state of some few months.
After the encampment at Fairport in
August, Scoutmaster A. G. MARBLE
was uncertain as to whether or not
he would keep up the work for the
reason that it took up SO much of his
time. He has now decided to go
ahead with the troop and has it very
effectively reorganiZed.
Not only is there to be the old troop
continued but another troop is being
formed and actually exists. Father
julius and the Knights of Columbus
are respectively organizer and hacker
of the new troop which is to be made
up entirely of Catholics with Clarence
Loreditsch as scoutmaster. Father
Julius is sending off the application
for the troop this week, and the boys
will soon be full-fedged scouts. 1t
is not known yet whether or not the
Catholic troops will be numbered 1
or as the present troop under Mr..
MARBLE is numbered 2. The numbers
of both troops will be received soon
from National Headquarters in New
York
Following instructions from Card
inal Farley, the scout committee of
Hays, or Council, will be composed of
LII Ta4IoIso- Ill
testants. The Protestant members
will be three in number, Mr.. Nickles,
Mr. Maxwell and Mr.. Addison. The
three Catholic members will be an
nounced by Father Julius in short
time.
Troop 2, the old troop of Hays, is
organizing a campaign for raising
funds for the work of the coming
year. They expect to raise in the
neighborhood of four hundred dollars
for use in really promoting the troop
as it should be promoted. Heretofore
the troop has depended on the fin
ances of the scoutmaster, but Mr..
MARBLE feels that the share of the
burden should be borne by the people
of Hays who are the people most
benefited. A committee composed of
Donald Meade and Francis Addison
will undertake to raise part of the
fund by ''penny-a-day" membership
fund for older people; the various
Protestant churches will also be asked
for definite amount on the basis that
a scout, if properly guided by an Or
ganization with sufficient backing and
funds, makes the best Sunday School
pupil. The boys of the troop also
contribute amounts from a cent
week to five cents a week for the
maintenance of the troop.
The Catholic troop has not organ
lied as yet but will be ready to an
nounce their officers and men in
few days. Troop has A. G. MARBLE
as scoutmaster; L. D. Wooster, Frank
Carman, John Taylor and P. E.
Sperry as assistant scoutmasters; Ash
ba Hedges, John Sites and Glen
Rumsey as Senior Patrol Leaders, and
Earl Barry as assistant Senior Patrol
Leader; Ira Rhoads, Thomas Chitten-
den and Francis Addison, patrol lead
ers; Ashba Hedges, scout scribe; Paul
Oshant, treasurer. The membership
will be strictly limited to thirty-twc
and the troop has now thirty-one
members due to an expulsion Friday
for continued profanity. The troop
has a waiting list of seven boys and
the vacancy will be filed at once.
