For The Campfire Girls.

Yesterday afternoon, about $3.50, a
crowd Of us girls and our guardian
went west on Erie street. We all had
we'll filled baskets. The first thing
we noticed was lumber wagon full
of watermelons. We soon decided we
wanted one, which was found after
wards to be very delicious. Sticks
were readily found for our camp fire.
Soon potatoes and coffee were over
the fire, and after our delicious meal
was all devoured, it was found neces-
sary to bury one of our most esteem
ed members. 1t didn't take long to
find an undertaken, pall-bearers and
mourners, among the crowd. After
the resurrection, games were indulg-
ed in. Kodaks were found to be one
Of the man sources of amusement
When it came time for the water
melon feast, the melon was nowhere
to be found. and diligent search it was
decided that some one had appropriat-
ed it for their own use. But finally
it was found that some mischievious
members Of the party had only beer
having little fun, and soon brought
the melon forth.
Our Camp was recognized and
officers elected. This is only the be-
ginning of the good times we expect
to have in the future.

South Fork Road Boosters.

The pressure brought to bear for a
good trunk road up and down the
Clearwater river from Lewiston to Elk
City has not only hearty endorsement
OF the people of Battle Ridge, Clear
water, Harpster and the people of the
mining district. When we sounded j.
II. Mitchell, one of the heavy taxpayers
OF Camas Prairie, he simply voiced the
following expression: "Let us forget
talking about building laterals to the
river; but build good road up and
down the Clearwater river first. II
such road is built that makes it an OBJ
ject for us all to want to use that road,
and with these conditions it will make
it an easy matter to get together and
build the laterals." Lee Sellards, an
other heavy taxpayer of the prairie,
voiced the same sentiments. .-Stites

The Razor in History

In tracing the history of shaving It
should be sufficient to go back to the
Greeks and Romans. upon whose civili-
zation our own is based. Boards were
highly esteemed among the former up
TO the time of Alexander the Great,
who was smooth shavcn. One reason
for the abolition of the beard among
soldiers was the fact that it afforded
the enemy something to lay hold Of.
At an earlier period the wearing Of
certain types of helmet and gorget had
protected the beard. The Romans wore
boards down to the time of the Gallic
wars, while the Gauls, albeit barba-
rians, were smooth shaven save for the
mustache. The antiquity of barber
shops and razors in Rome is variously
given by historians. Some have
claimed that the first barber shop, at
least in that part of the world, was
opened in Sicily in 300 B. c.. while
other authorities make this date far
earlier or later. The Sicilian seems to
have been the first barber.
