make fun and interest for every
body. Scouts will bring their
own eats" and whatever cooking
utensils are needed. Following
lunch there will be games and

FAVORABLE REPORTS FROM
AGRICULTURAL DISTRICTS

The second largest production of
potatoes in the history of the state
is one of the salient features of the
regular State-Federal August crop
report released Monday through the
Colorado Cooperative Crop Reporting
Service.
The potato crop is of interest to
the farmers and others at this time
due to the fact that Colorado pota-
toes contiue to show prospects for
excellent production while nationally
the crop deteriorated 17.6 points
since July / and on August 1 had
declined to figure OF 65.S percent of
normal with forecast of only BIG .000,-
900 bushels compared with 3t.000,-
900 last year. The Colorado crop de-
clined only one point during July
and on August 1, s points above the
ten-year average for theis date. Uu-
ually about 20 to rs percent of the
total production in Colorado is econ-
sidered commercial.
Though all other principal crops
suffered some declines In condition
during July. the percentage of de-
crease was generally small compared
with the declines registered for the
same crops nationally.

In case of any unusual damage as
by reason Of an explosion OF accident
of any kind 1t is desirable to get the
debris out of the way as soon as pos
sible and to remove other evidences
OF the affair. 1t was thought that IN
the United States this work was Us
ually done with great prompJitud" In
the case of railroad collisions it Is
quite common for every evidence of
the affair to be removed in few
hours SO completely that it is a diff
cult thing to locate the scene. In the
case Of the bomb planting on Wall
street, in two hours great deal of
the damage had been repaired and at
1 o'clock the same afternoon a few
boarded up windows was about all to
be seen of the fearful damage that
had been done. But in Paris these In
cidents are more common and the au-
th0ritieS are on the alert TO meet
them. There are maintained a reg
ularly organized department for such
emergencies and ii Is always on the
Job with the same promptneSs that an
American fire company answers the
alarm The work is Subdivided among
trained squads and every part Of 1t
is attacked at once Even torn up

PAPER FROM VENEER WASTE

In the wood waste from veneer fac
.ories the United States forest prod
ucts laboratory sees considerable raw
material suitable for the manufacture
Of high grades Of paper. The cores Of
many kinds Of veneer logs, now used
In a large part for fuel. would make
excellent pulpwood. In addition, a
large part Of the clippings could be
turned into pulp stock with profit
Among the veneer woods whose
waste has paper-making possibilities
are red gum, yellow poplar, cotton
wood, birch, tupelo. Eastwood and
beech. Many veneer factories cutting
these species are already within ship
ping distance Of pulp mills. In certain
other cases veneer factories are so
cropped that they might furnish pulp
wood enough to warrant the erection
Of q centrally located mill. Other

they may be sold at inflated prices Brit
ish government officials have intro
authorize local authorities to rent
these houses.
If a house has remained unoccupied
for three months according to the bill,

able, no landlords will be entitled to
any compensation for the houses that

70 UNCOVER eIBLrM'' cry
Beth Shan Ia Expected to Yield
Important information.

Relics Of seven or more cities which
successfully stood on the same site
and of nine different civilizations are
expected to be uncovered by the ex-
cavation of the biblical city Beth-shan,
in Palestine, which is to be under
taken in June. The work will be done
under the direction of Clarence S.
Fisher, curator Of the Egyptian sec
ton of the museum of the University
Of Pennsylvania Official permission
to undertake this work has been re
ceived from the government Of Pnles-
tine.
Beth-shan is now known as Beisan.
1t is situated in the valley of Jezreel,
just west Of the Jordan and not far
south of the Sea of Gallilee
More great battles are believed to
have taken place within sight of this
city than, perhaps, on any other spot
known to history. The investigators
hope to find there the keys to the
whole history of that section of the
world written either on marble slabs
containing the laws, DEGREES, treaties
and other information or on bronze
tablets or written In clay with cunei-
form characters.
Beth-shan was a strategic point of
value to any Of the great military
leaders of ancient times who aspired
to try his hand at world domination.
1t was on the route Of all the builders
of ancient empires. Beginning 5000
years ago. it suffered the blows Of the
armies Of Sargon, Abraham, Hammu-
rabi, Sennacherib, Nebuchadnezzar,
Thothmes. Saul, David. Alexander,
Pompey and Napoleon. Joshua led
his troops against Beth shan, but
could not take it. because its defend
ers used iron notwithstanding of
the tanks in the World war. The
crusaders made Beth-shan q point ~
attack In their vain efforts to conquer
Damascus. When the Assyri0nS came
down like g wolf on the fold Beth
shan was one Of the places they took
and 1t has been dominated IN turn by
Greeks, Romans and Arabs
The Investigators expect to find
there the strata Of perhaps more than
seven cities, each built upon the ruins
Of the other, as successive waves Of
Invasion swept over and destroyed It.
1t is within sight Of the Mount of
TRANSPORTATION, the scenes Of battles
between David and Saul. and the
