Scout Camp
BeHeaded,
ByMatsinger

Reservations for the first two
weeks are rapidly filling up, and
numbers of applications have
been received for later periods.
Troops should determine as soon
as possible when they expect to
visit the camp, in order that
suitable arrangements may be
made.
The camp committee of the
council made a trip to the camp
last week, and gaze their ap-
proval to certain contemplated
additions and improvements.
New boats have been ordered.
and additional dining-room
equipment secured.
1t will be welcome news to all
scouts who have been at Camp
Roosevelt during the last two
years to hear that Harrison
Matsinger will be at the camp
again this year, as director of
activities. He just couldn't stay
away. What are the attractions
of a wild west cattle ranch when
compared with the pleasures of
Roosevelt. So We are to have
the ghost stories and clarinet
solos and tumbling feats and all
the rest. This new combination.
the Hall-Matsinger duo, premier
blackface comedians, whistlers,
champion stringed instrumental
lists, adds the final irresistible
attraction to the already over
whelming call of the bay and
the woods and all the natural
advantages of the camp. We
know there will be no camp now
in the country to compare with
Roosevelt.

Decoration Day

In the SOUTH" said Chauncey NJ.
Depew in, Memorial day ad-
dress given on May 80. 1879. "the
widows. mothers and children of
the confederate dead went out
and strewed their graves with
flowers.
AT many places the women
scattered them impartially upon
the unknown and unmarked
graves OF the union soldiers.
Aroused National Feeling.
"As the news of this touching
tribute flashed over the north, 1t
reused, as nothing else could
have done, national love, and the
terrible ordeals just passed
through were forgotten.
Thus out of sorrows common in
the north and the south came
this beautiful custom"
But there was no set date for
its observation, and Memorial
day did not take hold" immedi-
ately.
Day Finally Set Aside.
THtn IN 1910 otn. JOHn n.
Logan, commander-in-chie of
the Grand Army of the Republic,
issued an order that on May 80
of that year every 'postr of the
G.. A. r. from east to west should
engage in fitting ceremonies and
scatter tokens of respect over the
resting places OF. their comrades
in-arms."
Soon the matter was taken up
by the legislature, apd now
Memorial day is one of the most
widely observed occasions in the
United States.
Our thoughts no longer return
to only those heroes who fought
and died for the freedom of this
country years and years ago, but
also to those who fought and
died for us in the great war
"over there"

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, April 9.-Forecasts of
freezing weather came to the rescue
of the grain markets today after
depressing economic news from Eng
land and scattered selling had started
prices downward At the finish wheat
was unchanged to IL cent up. in
Guiding May. 1894 to 134. and JULY.
AaB net higher: oats showed a net
gain of 4 to Is. and provisions were
unchanged to 90 cents higher.
While May wheat showed an easier
tone and sold at the lowest figure
on the crop. July was frmer and
averaged higher because of buying
induced by forecast for freezing tenn
peratures over the belt, with re-
ports of one-half to one inch of ice
in parts of Nebraska and Iowa last
night. While no damage was
claimed. the trade was apprehensive
that the crop might receive ser-
Gus setback and the May-July
spread narrowed, with much selling
of May and buying of July.
The seaboard reported $4,000
bushels sold to Germany and Bel
gium. 1t was estimated that the
United States has $4,000. 900 bushels
of wheat sold for export to June l
which has not been shipped Corn
tone with some buying of oats on
reports that the freezing tempera-
lures in the west had done some
damage. There was fair commission
house buying on both grains on the
breaks. and the undertone for several
days has been rather firm. Country
offerings were limited Provisions
averaged higher, with lard showing
the most strength. the upturn in hogs
being the main influence.
