SUNBURNED TO A DEEP BROWN, But
IN FINE FETTLE, BOY SCOUTS BACK
FROM TEN DAYS SPENT CAMP TURNER

The 10 days camp Of Ardmore Boy
Scouts at Camp Turner. Arbucklc
mountains. which closed Friday, was
pronounced great success by the
scouts who returned late Friday night,
ana who were full of pep 10 the last
minute.
The Ardmore scouts are to be con-
graduated upon the splendid spirit
shown when everything did not go
as desired. as on the last evening. Ar
rangements had been made by the exc
cutve fer trucks to so out after the
boys early in the afternoon, in order
that al Of the boys could reach home
before dark, but for some reason the
trucks did not reach Camp Turner
until late in the evening and as a re-
suit the scouts did not reach Ardmore
until after midnight Friday night
But a Boy scout Is real scout when
he can smile under difficulties. and
that is what the Ardmore scouts did.
Thomas Rowe, scout executive of
Norman. who visited the boys at Camp
Turner accompanied them TO Ardmore.
The camp this year was a great inn
provement over last year, and plans
are already underway for even a
better and bigger camp next year.
While the camp just closed is the
only big summer camp for all scouts,
yet groups Of scouts will take over
night hikes and three or four days
camping trips throughout the remain
der Of the summer Scout Executive
Reid states.
One OF the big achievements toward
the success Of this years camp was the
retaining OF a secretary during tho
10 days. An accurate record Of the
Whereabouts Of every boy was kept
and the information was available for
those in charge Of the camp at any
time.
The boys made q splendid record

advancing them in rank. Among those

Fairy Tale
THE CUPBOARD.
GRAHAM BONNER

brownie was showing the boy and
ing things about the Hospitality no..
tel where lived Sir Hearty COrdiality.
The boy and girl were on their way
to the House Of Secrets where they
were going to find out that the great
est secret in the world was that Of
Knowing how to play fair and to be
real pals each with one another, and
that all other secrets led to that one.
"We have keys to the DOORS" said
the brownie, "but we don't like to use
them. We have them because you
know folks mustn't abuse this fine
Hospitality hotel. We want to show
hospitality and we want to be liked
in return. But we don't want to be
made use of-and not cared for ct

"But you must use the key to open
this cupboard. Every one who wants
to see within the cupboard must use

enough for those who want something

the girl.
"Open the door," said the brownie.
'T'urn this key"
The girl put the key in the lock. 1t
was very large key. She thought
the door would stick and that the lock
wouldn't work at once, but to her sur

easily that she was almost frightened.

Have Cotton Graded.

The official government cotton
grader stationed at westminster has
graded around three thousand bales,
most or 1T being for farmers in the
section around Westminster Irhe
grading work Of Mr.. Anderson has
been very satisfactory, and some cx-
cellent results have been shown
In several instances about twenty
five bales or more have been grouped
together to be offered for sale in lots
with excellent results. There is only
one thing more satisfactory than
knowing the actual grade and grade
value Of your cotton, and that is
getting the price for it, and this has
been accomplished in Westminster
a number OF times. In fact, those
who have watched the markets close
ly in the Georgia towns and towns
OF Oconee say that number OF
times the Westminster market has
been ahead Of the Georgia markets,
or up with them.
A much larger number Of farmers
from other parts of the county

III you look little further along,
at the end Of the top shelf, which you
can reach II you stand on your tip

You must take one"
The boy and the girl looked as the
brownie directed when all at once the
shelves began to fall and the hooks
began to go about, catching the girls
hair and giving 1t little pulls and
catching the boys ear and giving 1t
little twigs.
"Thls Is awful" shouted the boy.
"Oh, I can't get out. The door is
closed and we're in the cupboard"
But no sooner had he sold that than
the door opened again. the shelves all
appeared as shelves should appear,
even and quiet and orderly and the
hooks were quiet and In their places.
Master Thoughtfulness had now
Joined them. "Were the hooks and
shelves trying to teach you lesson L?
Well, we couldn't stand for that"
"What did they behave like that
for? asked the girl, still a little
frightened.
Don't be frightened" said the
brownie, "for I promise nothing like
this will happen again. I couldn't

been only guests 1t would have been

they remember that there was a time

"But get your photographs! It's

reached to the top shelf and found n
lot OF photographs. They were very
small. And yet they could tell quite
plainly when they looked at the two
they had taken that they were Of Sir
Hearty Cordially standing outside the

Overcoming tho "Fodtler Disease"

This is fine year to begin to con-
quer the fodder disease" There is,
or there should be, more land than
usual to use for hay crops, and so
long as there is land for growing
hay, and mowers to cut it with, we
should forget that there is such a
thing as toiling in fodder field.
Give ME a moving machine one
hour and can make more good feed
than | could make all summer pull
ing fodder" says Winters. 81 never
pull any fodder" says S. w. Foster.
Of Newry, ''for consider it too cx-
pensive method Of making feed"
Others who know something about
farming say the same thing.
PLANT now larger acreages of cow
peas and sorghum. for it is hard to
beat this combination on medium
soil. Then there is Sudan grass,
which will give two or three good
cuttings. Then for good soils fine
feed can be grown Of soy beans in
rows, cultivated a few times and
mown for hay. Then IL you have some
good fields Of vetch and oats, such
as Mr.. Foster and Mr.. Bauknight
have, you will have less need for
working hard in fodder field and
cutting your corn yield at the same
time you are pulling fodder.
Grow more hay" should become
the motto Of the real farmer.
