ATTEND SUMMER
TRAINING CAMP

Young men from every rural dis
trict in Missouri are making applica-
ton to attend the free summer camp
to be established during August at
Camp Pike, Ark. Congress has made
an appropriation to send 400 Missouri
boys to this camp. Every county in
Missouri will be represented. The
Citizens Military Training Camp AS
ISOLATION of Missouri will hold a con-
ference the latter part of June and
DECIDE upon the exact quota to be sent
from each county. 1t is still possible
for number of young men, who have
thus far not applied for application, to
do so. These applications, however,
must be forwarded to the Citizens
Military Camp Association officer
either in St. Louis or Kansas City by
July LIST. Young men living in the
western section of the state will send
them, care of the Chamber of Com
merce, Kansas City, and the eastern
district ITO the Chamber of Commerce
in st. Louis.
The Government will defray all of
the expense of the young men attend
ing camp. Railroad fares to and from
Camp Pike will be furnished, and ev-
cry incidental expense at the camp will
be paid by the Government.
This is the first time in the history
of the Military Training Camp all ex.
penses have been appropriated BY
Congress. When training camp:
were established in 1918, the persons
attending the camps were forced tx
pay their individual expenses. Con
gress, in making provision for this
free vacation to the young men Of
Missouri, did so with the view that
these training camps were not estab
lished for the sons of wealthy men
but young men of good moral charac
ter could attend without any expense
to his parents. The camp at CAM
Pike will be open to young men owe
sixteen years old who are of sounC
character, intelligence and physica
condition. No educational qualifca
tions are prescribed, but each candi
date must file certificate of goot

Daniel Boone, pioneer Missourian,
was born in November, 1874, near
what is now Reading, Pennsylvania.
He was born and reared on the from
tier and the sight of Indians and the
wilds was familiar to him from child
hood. In 1850 the family moved west
ward to the Ohio Valley. Young
Boone, when 20 years old, served in
the Pennsylvania militia which pro-
tected the frontier in the Indian TO-
rays. After this he was active in the
exploration and building up of Ken
lucky and Virginia. When Kentucky
became settle he grew tired of legal
forms and decided to move west across
the Mississippi where the hunter
would be undisturbed for years to
come, so in 1899 he and his wife and
children came to Missouri. He died
in Missouri September 26, 1920, the
year before Missouri was admitted to
the Uuion. He was bureid on Tongue
creek near its mouth.

FALSE CRIES OF ECONOMY


Republicans who have been making
false cries of economy for the past
several years have shown since they
gained control in Missouri that moth
ing they say is to be taken seriously.
They were merely out and wanted in.
Evidence of their extravaganza
started with their induction into office
when the number Of watchmen at the
State Capitol building was doubled in
order to make more jobs for bench
men. This has continued since and
was the keynote, of the regular ses-
sion of the Legislature which was the
most expensive seventy days session
in the states history.
Now the extra session is function
ing and bids fair to enjoy the djstinc-
ton of being the most expensive ses-
ton in the states history. Not con-
tent with twice as many clerks as are
needed, the Republicans in the House
have placed 142 persons on the pay
roll and the session is only starting.
The Senate was thought to have TAX
en- a big leap with ninety but it was
left for the House to really fill the
hearts of the pie counter throng with
all places needed.
The Democratic members of the
House refused to be party to this
nefarious scheme to extract money
from the State Treasury and declined
to name five of the persons on the
House payroll. The refusal of Demo
| Gratis was based on the ground that
they would not be party to loading
the payroll with a lot of useless clerks
Democratic leaders contend that
thirty clerks would be enough to ham
die the business of the extra session
without NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. State
