YOUR WOODS CODE
Francis Rolt-Wheeler

When a bunch Of fellows starts
out into the woods, they ought to
know trail signs. There are num-
Der of these, and no boy can use a
better manual than Dan Beard s
book, recently noted in these col
umns.
But everybody can't know all the
signs, nor are all of them neces-
sary. So the gang ought to get to-
gether, pick out twenty or thirty of
the most important signs and learn
these thoroughly. Then, if the last
chap in camp has to go away for
some reason, he can leave a mess
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1920-05-01

age stating why. Or, on the trail
signs may be made for the fellows
following
There are half dozen different
groups of marks There are the
stick signs. A stick stuck diagon.
ally in the ground is a trail pointer,
the free end showing the way. If
an upright is near the free end of
the stick, it tells that camp is near.
With stones, a small stone on top
Of larger one shows the trail; if
with a third stone to right or left,
it shows a turning. With a grass
sign, bunch tied shows the trail,
the tied part bent to right or left
shows change of direction.
A fellow should always remember
that three of anything stands for
danger, three tied tufts Of grass.
three blaze marks on a tree, three
smokes, three shots or tripod. If
a piece of bark hangs from the
tripod 1t is sign of sickness; if a
piece Of branch, with a ring of bark
entirely removed, is hanging, it
signifies starvation Another sign
for hunger, in chalk, is a man with
a black dash across the stomach.
An arrow shows direction, with a
circle it means stop. with an OBJ
long attached, it means that a let
ter has been cached three PAGES
away. Signs for rivers, woods.
bridges, camps and the like are very
useful. Use the recognized signs,
and such trail talk becomes a val
liable piece of woods knowledge.

An Euening With
Julius Caesar

During the Thanksgiving vaca-
ton, Father, Mother and | were in
Indianapolis visiting my aunt and
uncle. We had a fine time and
every hour there was something
new and interesting to do.
Robert Mantell was at the Eng
lish Thoater all that week in Shake
speare's plays. At every perform
ance a different play was given.
On Friday evening there was to be
the play Of Julius Caesar We
were reading and acting out this
play in our English class at school,
so Mother thought it would be edu-
cational for me to go. We were
down town shopping all day and
went to another aunts for dinner
and then to the theater.
Robert Mantell is about seventy
years old but is a good actor yet.
He is lame in one leg but he walks
so slowly that it is scarcely noticed.
The first scene was that Of pub
lie park. The people were dressed
in Old Roman costumes.
In the second act there were two
scenes. The first was in Brutus'
house and orchard. His wife, Por-
tia, and son. Licius, appear. His
wife was dressed in white and look
ed Ike a cloud. Her hair and skin
were dark. The second scene was
in Caesars palace. Caesar was
seen sitting on a throne dressed in
bright red. His wife Calphurnia,
was dressed in yellow satin with a
loose yellow Over-drape. BrutuS
comes in to beg Caesar to go to
the capitol that morning. Caesar
consents, contrary to his wife's
wishes.
The third act is in the capitol. A
crowd of men are waiting for
Caesar. Brutus gets up to take
notice of some kind to Caesar;
they are surrounded by the crowd
and Caesar is stabbed by Brutus.
Act four is the Forum. In the
middle back of the stage is seen
a large platform, on one side of
which is a large crowd of people,
and on the other four guards carry
ing Caesars body. Heading this
procession is Marc Antony, who
goes onto the platform and turn
ing to the mob makes his speech
which begins, Friends, Romans,
cOuntry-men, lend me your ears"
This was the strongest point in the
play.
Act five was laid in the tent Of
Brutus in the camp of Sardis. This
was the most beautiful scene. The
men and soldiers were talking about
the battle that was going to take
place the next morning. The lights
were turned low and Licius sang
Brutus to sleep, but he is wakened
by the ghost of Caesar telling him
that he will see Caesar before the
next day is over.
Act six is on the plain of Philippi
The two armies are seen getting
their troops together, one at a dis
lance and one nearby. The troops
advance and as the enemy draws
closer and closer Brutus is afraid
he will be captured and taken back
a prisoner SO he kills himself
When they come and find Brutus
dead Ticius falls across his body
and dies also. The curtain falls
and this is the end of very enjoy
able evening.-Elizabeth Price, Age
IA, Freshman High School.

THE MONTANA BOOSTER

The state of old Arkansas,
1t is my native home,
Among the hills and valleys there,
When a child / used to roam.
Near the old Arkansas river,
Where now it GIBBS and flows
Large fields Of sugar cane and
corn,
And heaps of cotton grows.
I've travelled north, south, east
and west,
Strange places for to see,
But | find the state of Montana
Is good enough for me.
| was in the state of Texas
In the days of long ago,
Crossed the sandy desert
Where roamed the buffalo,
And the place we call Old Mexico,
| Glanced to pass her by
On my way to Oklahoma
Where runs the alkali.
From there | went to Georgia,
Then across to Tennessee.
But | find the state of Montana
Is good enough for me.
To the state of Washington I went
In the year of eighteen ninety-two
Where I saw the largest timbers
And the mighty ocean blue.
| lived in this western state
Some twenty years or more;
IT'S there l left the dearest friends
on earth,
And those whom I adore.
SO now in dreams and visions
IT'S there | want to be,
But l find the state of Montana
Is good enough for me.
Men, be boosters for your country
And boost it all you can,
And when you meet your fellow
man,
Just take him by the hand.
This offering costs you nothing,
boys,
SO give it with a will,
And never, never kick a man,
When he's rolling down the hill.
And should you practice my advice
You won't be feeling blue,
Then you'll find the state of Mon
tana
Is good enough for you'll
