THE BOY SCOUT CAMP

There may be selfish motives back
of all activity but in the end the man
who builds does SO that the world
may enjoy. He who constructs dams
builds irrigation systems, constructs
towering buildings, is not serving self
ish purposes but he is building for
civilization to enjoy after him.
Just so the churches, schools,
lodges, are institutions which We build
and make use Of but for a day and
pass them on to others.
II will be but tomorrow when the
scout council will be made up of the
boys who are now members of the
Boy Scouts. When these young fell
lows take over the institution that
all men are building today they will
add to il from their experience and
pass it on To greater hands whom
they themselves have inspired and
taught.
Under rules governing all scout
camps of the national organization
the Boy Scouts of Ardmore under
command of scout executive, Emmitt
T. Reid, are at Turner Falls Park in
the Arbuckle mountains for camp
Of ten days. The boys are given an
opportunity to use in a larger way
what the scout executive has been
teaching them from day to day.
Organized and registered with the
national council less than a year ago,
the local council comprising progress
sive business men Of Ardmore have
made rather a remarkable achieve
ment in the interest Of the boy life
of the city.
These scouts have made them
selves worthy of the benefits they are
enjoying. In the Chamber of Com
merce drive the boys did their part,
in the entertainment Of the Confeder
ate veterans they rendered valuable
service, in the campaign of the Civic
League their work was Indispensable

Public Forcing Costs DOlUnUdrd Says Board

Washington, Sept. 1.-Refusal of
 the public to pay "excessive prices" caused continuance of the down. ward trend of values in August. the federal reserve board declared in it's monthly review of business con- ditions. The board added that the reaction" against high prices had been accompanied by general slow ing up of demand in the wholesale field and by slight evidences of unemployment in some sections. The boards views on the nations business generally were more op- timistic than recent expressions and indicated an expectation of more stability in industry and commerce. While the review mentioned signs of conclusion of the transition period, it countered with the state ment that progress in this direction was slow and much still remains to be done" before the country can be said to be on a stable basis. The hopeful assertion was made, how ever, that the readjustment had con tinued consistently.
 ''In the agricultural regions" the TeVleW ueCidTcu, tHS pIolulSlIS crop prospects have given much more hopeful turn to affairs and have tended to minimize the broad CT questions of price adjustment, money rates and industrial unrest. In those parts of the ccnntry the paramount idea is production on a large scale accompanied by inn provement of transportation and la DOT conditions.
 Where t.e process of distribut- ing and financing are more import ant the prospect for improvement is less immediate although funda- mental conditions are slowly inn proving and the underlying busi- ness situation is usually described as sound"
 Transportation continued hamp- cred during August, the review said, adding that although shipments were moving with increased celerity, much dissatisfaction still existed in all sections. This condition was said to be noticeable particularly in the movement of agricultural products to market.
 The depression which has char acterized business in many lines during the summer continued most markedly in the manufacture of shoes, according to the review. Re sumption of activity in the shoe trade is promised immediately after Labor day in many sections while others reported that prospects of lower prices mean a continued hold ing off of buying by the public with the result that manufacturers will have no orders on which to work, the review said. Numerous large , shoe concerns are either wholly closed down or are operating on

WAITED FOR THIRTY YEARS
 THEN SHE WAS DESERTED

Chicago-Thirty years is long time for a girl to wait for the man she loves. Time aims the roses in her cheeks and hardens the lines around her eyes and she may not appear the same to the man who had loved the sweetheart of his youth. Mrs. John Forrest. who was former ly Mary Black, is cogitating these matters, pending a hearing of her suit for nonsupport against John Forrest, manager of the American Pullman Company. The romance that is ending badly, began in the village of Rothesay, Isle of Butte, Scotland. John and Mary were born in the same year, 1867, and from pinafore playmates they be- came youthful lovers, graduating in the same class. Then arose some coolness and the village was sur prised that John had married an- other girl and sailed for America. Mary was 23 when he left. There

short time and most all have cur tailed their purchases of leather.
 The board said there was a gen. eral attitude of caution on the part of middlemen and jobbers. They are confronted with a continued re- fusal of retailers in most sections to replenish their stocks of most commodities because of the belief that prices will soon be more sta ble.
 Sound business conditions are re- ported by the board in all three of the reserve districts surrounding the Atlanta, Richmond and Dallas banks, though price changes have nearly all been downward.
 Optimism and confidence in the basic soundness of general condi- tions," is the outstanding feature of the Richmond report, while Atlanta said that July improvement in crop prospects had been somewhat off set by August reactions. Retailers reported increases in sales over pre- vious months.
 At Dallas, further Improvements in crops, increased trade volume, and improved transportation con- ditions," were found during the month. Against this was placed the rainy season, detrimental to cotton prospects, labor shortage in the ag- ricultural areas, and shortening of demand for live stock products.
 Atlanta, discussing the cotton sit uation, said the boil weevil was not present in all the Georgia cotton counties.
 Oil production continued apace through Texas fields, and during July the Dallas bank reported 868 wells were sunk, against $50 dur ing June. Output was averaging 375,0O barrels a day during July, which was estimated to be a de- crease of 7,500 barrels from June.

were admirers, but she remained true to her first love.

Thirty years she waited and then came a letter from John announc- ing the death of his wife and his desire that she should come to the United States and become his bride. She sailed on the first ship. Her blue eyes had lost thei:. sparkle and her splendid hair had turned grey.
 Three days after their marriage her husband left her, presumably on business call. She followed him to Chicago and he sent her to Akron, Ohio. She had been there only one day when he sent her a letter. telling her that he was dis appointed and never cared to see her again. She returned to Chicago and sought him out, but he repeated that he never cared to see her
