H MAGIC FORMULA

mIIOSE who have been looking for a magic formula for restoring
prosperity and overcoming unemployment may find a hint OF
Z something useful to them in the report of the department OF labor
for October /, on employment. According to the report, employment
in the wooden industry had increased SO per cent over a year ago. in
shoe factories IS per cent; and in cotton finishing mills IA per cent
These gains in productive employment were not caused by expert
demand because the increase in that demand has been negligible
They were caused By increased demand in American markets, in a Pc
Rod of extreme depression. The demand was created by people In
Albuquerque and Pittsburgh and Seattle who had worn out their
woolens, shoes and cotton clothing. That made buying compulsory.
The same process will revive every industry; rs doing it now.
The old law Of supply and demand seems to stand up under an
awful lot of abuse, retaining unimpared its ability to come back and
assert itself.

Beyond the Hill.
What is beyond the edge of the hill,
Where the laughing sky meets the
earth?
Is it the place where the rainbow
ends.
Where there's nothing but joy
and mirth?
When the sun sinks down with a
flaming ray
Beyond that mystic hill,
Does it change that land to a Para
disc,
That land beyond the hill?
Is the song of the birds about that
land,
Where nothing but flowers grow?
Where there's naught of sorrow, but
lots of joy,
Oh, will / ever know?
When I grow up to be man
I'm going to go and see
Just what it is behind that hill
And solve the mystery!

Description of Camp
Fire at Camp Sheldon
By DONOVAN F. GoULDIN

One OF the most important events
of the day at camp was the camp
FIRE which came abotu dark as we
sat about blazing fire.
Sometimes we had visitors who
gave us talks; for instance, Mr..
Sheldon, the man who gave US Camp
Sheldon. We often had singing in
which we all took part while Jake"
and Bunny" led. We tried to see
which side could sing the loudest.
Then came the talk of the even
ing. Mr.. Sheldon told US of tree
he had seen in Omaha several times
as he was passing it on the street
car. He said the tree at one time
grew straight up and then by some
of natures wonders the dirt was
moved until the tree was left stick
ing out of the side Of the hill. How
ever the tree was determined to
grow straight in spite of this diff
Guilty, and so it turned up at the
end. Now every time he passes, it
is straight and has grow a little
higher. He said he wanted US boys
to be straight like that tree even
though we had many troubles.
Sometimes Mr.. Arnold told us
stories. Each evening at the close
of camp fire Mr.. Micklewright gave
us a short talk on the lesson of the
DAY. As we left the camp fire to go
to our hunks every boy walked
quietly by himself thinking about
the talk of the evening.

Watermelon Feed Held
For New Members at
Y Thursday Night

Last Thursday night was one OF
the biggest social evenings of the
summer when nearly 100 boys
gathered at the boys division OF the
Y. NJ. c. A. for a social evening
and watermelon feed.
The occasion was for the new
members of the month and the boys
who have earned monograms for Sc
curing new members. About 7
O'Clock the feasters began to assem-
bic for a long swim in the "Y's" big
whilte-tiled pool. After enjoying the
water sports for nearly an hour the
youngsters went into the assembly
hall for an hour of fun in group
games, stunts. tricks and contests.
Boxing matches were participated in
by several of the party. These re-
suited in draws after about three
rounds Of snappy boxing.
After a short talk explaining to
the new members how to use their
privileges. the superintendent OF the
watermelon slickers announced that
he was ready to serve the treats of
the evening. The boys were gath
cred about tables set in the form OF
a square and the big slices were
served from the center.
Before being served each boy was
asked to write down a guess as to
the number of seeds his piece might
contain. Several boys guessed very
close to their number. With this the
boys were bid good night.

A Trustworthy Boy.

Dear Busy Bees: thought |
would write another story. There
was once a poor boy whose folks
were sick and not able to work.
One day this poor boy was wonder
ing how to make some money to
help his folks and his sisters.
He was just about to give up in
despair. when he heard a knock at
the door. He jumped to his feet
and ran to the door and lady
asked John if he would take care
OF her chicks while she was gone
and he said he would. About three
weeks latter the lady came back to
find her chickens plump and nice.
She thanked the boy and gave him
$40. but he said S. would be enough.
and the lady gave him IS and told
everybody to let John do their
chores, and so John made enough
money to keep his folks and sisters
till his father was we'll. This is a
true story-Uowell Tuil. Aged II,

A Haunted House In Fairyland.

Little Tommy Walker went to the
little red school house on the edge
of the woods. He had been going
there as long as he could remember.
Tommy was now 9 years cid. One
fine summer day when he was re-
turning home from school with
some other boys someone mentioned
the old haunted house in the woods.
Everyone at school believed the old
house was haunted but Tommy. He
decided to see for himself. He lett
the rest of the boys and took an cid
unfrequented path to the right. The
path soon led him right up to the
house. He walked around it several
times, but could find no door or any
other entrance. Finally he found a
tiny hole and as Re stood before i
wondering what he had better do
he absently rubbed his finger around
the edge of the hole. Much to his
surprise it grew larger. He Kept on
retracing and soon 1t was large
enough for him to crawl through.
He wandered through several dark,
dusty rooms. Then he opened a
door and before him stood a beau.
tiful scene! A beautiful fairy queen
and a handsome fairy king were
seated on thrones, and before them
were gathered many mobiles and
lords and fadies-in-waiting. Tommy
went up to them and told them
about how he had expected to find
an old haunted house. They award
ed him richly with pearls and dia-
monds. He went home happily to
tell his friends about the haunted
house and what he had found in it,
