SCOUTS
Conducted by National Council of the
Boy Scouts of America.)
OVER 1000 BOY SCOUT CAMPS

This is the biggest Camping OUT
year in the history of the Boy Scouts
of America. There are now almost
300 organized first-class scout camps
in the United States and its territories,
and enough separate troop camps to
swell the number to little more than
1000.
By organized f1rst-class camps is
meant permanent camps under expert
camp directors, each for groups of
scout troops and ranging in size from
accommodations for three or four
troops up to the largest boys camp in
the world, the great Bear Mountain
boy scouts camp in Palisades Inter-
state park, which is filed to over
flowing all summer long, and partly
filled in wintertime, by the troops of
greater New York and of northern
New Jersey. There are tents, cots
and mess facilities there for 2200
scouts at one time, with log-cabins
for the winter.
Birmingham (Ala.) reports a scout
reservation of 106 acres of wooded
hills, which has been divided into 40
foot lots, each Of which is assigned to
scout troop. The boys cut their logs
and build their own cabins, of which
twelve or more have been completed,
some of them quite elaborate struc-
lures. These cabins are used for
weekend and overnight hikes as well
as for the longer summer outings. 1t
is an all-the-year-round camping place
Buffalo scouts have fifty-acre camp
site fifty miles from the city and are
planning to have a number of "hike
cabins" within four or five miles from

SCOUTS EMERGENCY SERVICE.

How boy scouts hold themselves
ready to render a service where intel
ligence and promptness are needed is
illustrated by the following note from
Scout Executive 4. A. Jameson of At
lanta, Ga:
Miss Anne Morgan was in Atlanta
recently in connection with her work
for devastated France. She desired to
show a certain movie film at Macon.
She phoned scout headquarters and
asked if we. could provide scout to
go to Washington, D. c., secure the
film and deliver it to her in Macon in
time for a showing there. We selected
Scout Barton Ford, and he left on an
hours notice, making close connections
on the entire trip and arriving in Ma
con on schedule time. He was in
Washington only from 1 o'clock at
night till 80 in the morning, so he
did not get to see much of the cap
ital."

TO PROBE HUGE
SUGAR PROFITS
Cuban Product Consigned to
Chicago at 912 Cents, 1t
Is Said.
ON WATCH FOR GOUGERS
Shipment Consists of About 5000. .ooo
Pounds and Is Billed to Packers
Gamers and Wholesalers,
Via Canada.

Chicago, July 2.-Shipments of he
tween 100000 and 100000 pounds
of Cuban sugar by way of Canada
which are now being received here.
were billed to packers, Gamers and
wholesalers at 9 and 91a cents a
pound, according to the federal au-
thorities investigating, instead of the
prices of 26 and 261a cents a pound,
which it was generally reported pre-
viously that wholesalers and other
large users were paying. A sweeping
investigation has been promised by
the district attorneys office and other
federal officials.
The government investigators state
they have seen some of the invoices
on which the consignees here are
charged the low prices of 9 and 9h
cents pound. They announced they
will examine all invoices on the con-
signments, question the consignees,
watch the wholesalers and watch the
retail stores for evidences of profiteer-
ing in the sale Of the sugar, and trace
the sugar to the shippers and question
them to verify the prices, according
to one of the officials leading the in
vestigation.
present sugar prices hover around
~ cents pound retail. In the agree
ment made about one month ago with
District Attorney Clyne, dealers are
obliged to limit their profits to 1 or
IA cents per pound. If the Cuban
sugar now being received is costing &c
and 26k cents per pound wholesale,
as has been generally understood, il
should retail for q or 271s cents a
pound. But If the charges of the gov.
ernment investigators prove true, and
the wholesalers are paying only and
9R cents, the 27-cent retail price
would constitute f1agrant profiteering
federal officials said, and if the agree
ment with the district attorney is
lived up to, this sugar should sell fol
1O4 or IL cents retail. according te
the federal authorities.
The fair price commission rules are
still in effect, although there is no fail
price commissioner in Illinois at pres
ent, according to the federal authori
ties, and it is expected a new commits
s1oner will be appointed early mex
month, after District Attorney Clyn,
returns from the convention in Sal
Francisco.

400 KILLED IN RED RIOTS
Widespread Attempts of Reds to Over.
throw Present Form of Govern
ment-ArtIIery Is Used.

London, July 2.-Four hundred Ital-
ians have been killed in two days
fighting between anarchists and troops
at Ancona and Piombino, according to
a dispatch from Rome.
Fierce battles with artillery ragged
in both cities. The anarchists fought
from behind powerful barricades.
The troops bombarded these forts
violently and then carried them by
storm.
Dispatches from correspondents at
Rome indicate widespread attempts
of anarchists and radical socialists to
precipitate riots and mutinies
throughout Italy to embarrass the
government. These disorders may re-
suit in the collapse of the Giolitti cabi-
net. 1t is said at Rome, however, that
the ministry will maintain order at
all COSTS"
